When he saw Lin Xiaodong raising his hand, to be honest, Ye Shiyuan was stunned for a moment.
But soon he came to his senses and asked, "Xiaodong, what do you want to exchange?"
"That." Lin Xiaodong pointed to the corner of the wall.
Everyone looked in the direction of his finger, and was disappointed to find that it turned out to be a wooden easel with some paints, brushes and other things beside it.
Ye Shiyuan knew that Lin Xiaodong liked to draw, but he still didn't expect that the boy would exchange such a precious seal for such an insignificant thing, after all...
He collected himself and asked again: "Are you sure?"
"Definitely." Lin Xiaodong said firmly.
Lynch let out a loud sneer from his nose: "A fool is a fool."
At the corner of the second floor, a black-haired man was sitting in a wheelchair, silently looking at the magnificent hall below.
His legs were covered with a finely embroidered thin blanket. Although he was not good at walking, the clothes he was wearing were ironed, his back was always straight, and he did not have the slightest sense of decadence.
On the contrary, it was those dark and cold eyes that made people feel cold when they looked at them.
A subordinate pushing a wheelchair behind him sighed, "There are sixteen children in total, and it seems that only twelve are pretty smart."
The man said nothing.
His eyes stayed on Lin Xiaodong who was holding the easel for a few seconds, and after a while, he looked back without any fluctuation.
"Nothing to see, go back."
As if sensing the gaze from above, Lin Xiaodong frowned, raised his head thoughtfully, but did not see anyone.
The sixteen children were taken to their residence in the castle. Lynch glanced at the easel in his hand with distaste.But soon, his small thoughts were shattered by the supervisor who distributed the room keys——
"Lynch, turn left to the first room."
"What about him?" Lynch pointed at Lin Xiaodong and asked unwillingly, "We came together, he is my cousin, shouldn't he live in the same room as me?"
At this time, he called his cousin, Lin Xiaodong rolled his eyes, and took his key from the supervisor.
"You don't live together. Lin Xiaodong, turn left and go straight, the room at the end of the corridor." After a pause, the director added, "Your room is closer to the stairs. The castle is too big, and there are often rooms in the forest. Animals come in to steal food. Remember not to wander around the castle at night, and don’t come out no matter what noise you hear.”
"understood."
Lin Xiaodong thought to himself, could this place still be haunted?That's kind of interesting.
After a day in the car, he was also tired. He went in and looked at the room. Besides a big bed, there was a desk, a European-style sofa with two pillows, and a small tea table.There is a piece of A4 paper on the coffee table, on which are written more than a dozen rules of the castle.
For example, you are not allowed to violate the curfew, you are not allowed to disobey the teacher's order, and you are not allowed to damage other people's property or fight within the monitoring range... But because he was too sleepy, Lin Xiaodong just glanced at it hastily, and put it down without reading it.
He moved the easel to the side of the window, lifted the corner of the curtain and took a look outside. This place was facing the artificial lake. After the lights on the lawn were turned off, the desolate garden felt a little more mysterious in the night.
"It's really a bit like a haunted house." Lin Xiaodong said to himself.
But this is impossible, he asked the system, this world does not have any factors of strange power and chaos, it is a pure and pure modern society.
He put down the curtains again, put on the pajamas that the Lin family prepared for them, fell on the bed, and fell into a deep sleep.
Early morning.
Lin Xiaodong, who was lying on the bed, was suddenly awakened by a strange movement.
He opened his eyes and stared straight at the ceiling above his head.
Just like what the previous executive said, there was a low, strange sound like a beast panting in his ears.
Lin Xiaodong originally thought it was a wild boar in the deep mountains running in to steal food, so he turned over and covered his head with a pillow, ready to continue sleeping.
Unexpectedly, after more than ten minutes, the sound not only did not stop, but intensified, accompanied by the screeching sound of fingernails scratching something—this is not a wild boar.
"Depend on!"
With his messy hair on his head, the teenager whose lucid dream was disturbed sat up with resentment on his face.
He shook the goosebumps on his body, jumped out of bed aggressively, found the distribution basin from the room, removed the long plastic pole of the broom, pressed the plastic basin on the ceiling to act as a loudspeaker, and held the pole hard Five or six stabs up.
"Do you have a sense of public morality? Ghosts crying and wolves howling in the middle of the night, this is the time for normal people to sleep!"
In the dead of night, the young man's energetic shouts resounded through the castle.
There was an instant silence in the master bedroom on the second floor.
The family doctor and nurse standing by the bed looked at each other, wondering who had the guts to yell at Lin Pei; while Ye Shiyuan, who knew the inside story, broke out in a cold sweat instantly.
He complained in his heart, seeing Lin Xiaodong's stability and being the oldest among them, so he arranged for him to live directly below the master bedroom, and specially asked the supervisor who distributed the keys to make the boy behave better.
Unexpectedly, Lin Xiaodong not only didn't listen to him, but also started messing around on the first night in the castle!
Because of its remote location but beautiful scenery, this castle has become the place where successive generations of Lin family heads used to recuperate and vacation in modern times.Since Lin Pei's legs became disabled, he was so annoyed by the endless visits and hypocritical greetings that he simply moved his office here.
However, because the old injury has not healed for a long time, every night, the man will always toss and turn because of the pain, and even wreak havoc in the room because of his irritable and depressed mood, so he makes those beast-like sounds.
"Patriarch, it's my fault that the child is ignorant." Looking at the man leaning on the bed with clenched fists and a pale and gloomy face, Ye Shiyuan immediately apologized, carefully observing his expression, "I'm going to let you He lives in the same room with his cousin...or are you going to send him home directly?"
In fact, this is not a bad thing for Lin Xiaodong.
Ye Shiyuan knew well that although Lin Xiaodong's parents used to have high prestige in the family, they died like a lamp, not to mention that both of them had been dead for so many years.
He had also vaguely heard about the inheritance. Although he sympathized with it, as an outsider, Ye Shiyuan could only sigh.
Lin Pei closed his eyes, was silent for a moment, and said hoarsely, "No need."
Ye Shiyuan hurriedly said: "Then I'll go downstairs and tell him..."
"Stop." The man raised his eyelids, stared at him coldly, twitched the corners of his mouth sarcastically when he saw the cautious expression on Ye Shiyuan's face, and then swept around the doctors and nurses in the room, "No one is allowed to tell Him, did you hear that?"
"……Yes."
The three people present were a little confused, and in the end they could only attribute it to Lin Pei's self-esteem.
After all, it is a generation of heroes, from a high-spirited young talent and the head of a big family to a disabled person who can only be pushed and walked by a wheelchair... The gap is conceivable.
As a result, their attitude towards Lin Pei became more cautious.
And Lin Xiaodong downstairs, after waiting for a while, found that the voice had finally subsided, and was also very satisfied.
He has always been big-hearted, and he didn't bother to think about what the other people next door would think when they heard his voice. After putting the things back in place, he got back into the bed and fell asleep after a while.
the next day.
The big clock on the top of the castle tower rang on time at seven o'clock. With sleepy eyes open, the sixteen children were divided into male and female teams, went to the east and west bathrooms to wash up, and then sat at the long table in the dining room under the leadership of the supervisor. Waiting for breakfast at both ends.
However, there was no bread, eggs and milk as they had imagined. The canteen master who was in charge of the children's meals just wiped his hands calmly and put a menu in front of them.
A piece of toast - worth a medal;
Three eggs - worth one medal;
A glass of milk - worth a medal;
A rack of lamb - worth three medals;
……
…………
As soon as this menu came out, all sixteen children were dumbfounded.
I thought it would be like this before, but I was just worrying about why the price was so expensive, but the children who exchanged medals for toys last night basically looked panic-stricken, trying to count their remaining points. Enough for a few loaves of bread.
"Mr. Supervisor," the younger sister raised her hand again, "I want to ask, what should we do if we run out of medals but are hungry and want to eat? We won't just let us starve to death, will we?"
"Of course not," the supervisor said indifferently, "You can also ask us for credit, that is, you can borrow medals to exchange for food."
The younger sister frowned and said, "But if there is no limit, then what's the point of the medal?"
"Yes," the supervisor smiled gently at him, "The medals we lent out did not come out of thin air, but a corresponding amount was randomly drawn from the current owner's medals and distributed to the borrowers—so, please Use this function with caution to avoid conflicts between companions."
Hearing this, everyone became nervous, and looked at each other more cautiously.
Lin Xiaodong raised his forehead and whispered to the system: "Isn't this a small society? It seems that Lin Pei really wants us to compete with each other."
There are also those so-called regulations that cannot be violated, which seem very reasonable, but in fact they are not rigorous at all.For example, it is a normal rule not to damage other people's finances and fight, but a prerequisite must be added - it must be within the scope of monitoring.
This means that as long as you find a location that is not monitored, or can destroy the monitoring without being discovered, you can do whatever you want.
"It seems that Lin Pei is indeed psychopathic because of his disability." Lin Xiaodong sighed, and queued up to exchange for three eggs and a piece of bread. Anyway, the water is unlimited, and the eggs can be kept for a few days if you can't finish them.
System: "How to say?"
Lin Xiaodong snorted and took a hard bite of the bread.
"The successor selected like this," he said, "is like Lynch in the data, 90.00% is a psychopathic lunatic, the kind who has plunder, competitiveness and cruelty carved into his bones .So when this heir comes to power, the old wolf king Lin Pei will be the first to be killed at that time. Doing so is basically equivalent to slow suicide/suicide."
However, Lin Xiaodong couldn't help thinking, maybe this is Lin Pei's real purpose?
But soon he came to his senses and asked, "Xiaodong, what do you want to exchange?"
"That." Lin Xiaodong pointed to the corner of the wall.
Everyone looked in the direction of his finger, and was disappointed to find that it turned out to be a wooden easel with some paints, brushes and other things beside it.
