[Count of Monte Cristo] Love and hatred

r001

Mel couldn't remember how she fell asleep.

She forced herself to believe that it was just a nightmare, because dreams always have a time to wake up.

So when the movement at the door woke Mel, she opened her eyes eagerly, looking forward to returning to the real reality.After the visual line was refocused, except for the burning candle, everything in the room was the same as last night.That is to say...

Mel forced herself to sort her thoughts out. All she could think of was chaos, like a computer that was working fine had short-circuited due to information overload.The noise outside the door aggravated her anxiety, so she got up uneasily and walked towards the door.

Strangely, the door opened easily this time.She saw a shirtless man rolling out a wooden barrel blocking the door.Seeing Mel, the man raised his hand to wipe his sweat and smiled embarrassedly.

Mel looked at the obvious ruts on the mud floor at the door. The strong wind must have knocked down the support last night, and the wooden barrel rolled down just blocked the door.So, no one wants to lock her up at all.

Connecting with the women's things she saw in the boxes and drawers last night, Mel gradually realized that maybe this is her current home.

She returned to the room, cleaned up the broken glass on the floor, and then washed up briefly, preparing to go out to find out the current situation.

"Dong dong..." There was a knock on the door.Just as Mel stood up, two strange women broke in suddenly.Their skin was tanned, their earlobes were adorned with exaggerated silver earrings, and they wore red and black Latin style blouses.

Mel regretted not locking the door, but the women enthusiastically pulled Mel back on the chair, with friendly smiles on their faces, seemingly harmless.But she couldn't understand their language, so she didn't dare to ask rashly.

A woman noticed a broken lens in the corner and quickly returned with a new one, which she held in front of Mel.Although he had already been mentally prepared, when he saw the person in the mirror again, Mel was subconsciously startled.

But this also allowed her to see her current appearance clearly for the first time.Although this face is a little green, it does not prevent her from describing it as beautiful.A cascade of black curly hair cascaded down her shoulders, half covering her face as delicate as a Greek sculpture, like a marble girl outside a temple in Athens gaining life and stepping down from the altar.Involuntarily, Mel stretched her hand over her face, stroking the healthy, wheat-colored skin.It also made her realize that she was no longer her old self.

Just then, a name touched her nerves.Even if she didn't go through the instinctive reaction of this new body, she was almost sure that the name referred to her.Because this name not only appeared frequently, but also every time the two women mentioned the name, they would unconsciously glance at her—Mei Tess.

Yes, plum Tess.As long as you have read Dumas's book "The Count of Monte Cristo", you will never forget this beautiful name.It's a pity that all Mel's knowledge of the story of "The Count of Monte Cristo" comes from a movie of the same name adapted from "The Count of Monte Cristo" he watched before going to the Florent School of Drama, and he only remembers the name of the count and his vague memory. Blurry revenge plot.

Because of this, she didn't realize that she had become the tragic heroine in this book, but just sat there in a daze, like a doll, letting the women turn the snow-white dress out of the box, Put it on her.

Then the women started to help Mel get dressed.They smiled and put the flowers on Mel's head, which didn't feel a little bit of joy to her. The flowers that were destined to wither seemed to be a kind of mourning for the dead Mel.Because from now on, there will be no Mel in this world, only Mei Tess.

"Will anyone remember me?" She sighed silently. Her parents passed away, and her uncle left.And she herself is just a fleeting firework in the film industry, even more lonely than the firework, because the firework has been brilliant at least once, and she was only a second-tier star until her death, so she can't be said to be forgotten. No one will remember her.

If she had been in love before, she wouldn't be so sad, because in that case, there would be at least one person who would really miss her.It's a pity that the reality is skinny. Her only perfect love came from a romantic movie she starred in, and in life, her emotional experience is about zero.Perhaps it is precisely because of the obsession with the true love in the movie, how can she find true love in the superficially glamorous but hypocritical circle?

Plum Tess felt that her mood had calmed down a bit. Maybe there were not so many things worth remembering, and the past was irreversible. What she should think about was what to do in the future.

At this moment, the woman who helped her dress up accidentally hurt her.She glanced in the mirror inadvertently, but found that her head was about to be tied into a flower hedgehog by two women.She began to panic, what is she going to do with such a fancy dress, simple singing and dancing?Or is it the sacrifice of the legendary South American tribe?

Just as she was thinking wildly, the younger of the two women pushed her lightly, "Go, Mai Tess, your cousin Fernand is waiting for you outside."

This time Plum Tess understood, for the woman spoke French this time.Since he is a cousin, there shouldn't be any danger.She walked out of the house with a feeling of uneasiness. The sunlight outside the house was a bit dazzling, so she had to raise her hands to cover her eyes.She walked around the wall covered with dead flower vines, and saw a man in a loose white shirt holding his hands with his back to her.He heard Mei Tess come out, and walked straight on, as if leading the way.He hadn't looked back, so Plum Tess hadn't had a chance to see his face, but he could still feel that he was angry, and it seemed because of her?

This forced Mei Tess to swallow the question that came to her lips.She thought about it and decided to play it by ear. She had to understand her current situation.So she followed her so-called cousin out of the strange Moorish village, rounded a promontory, stepped on a shallow sandy beach, and walked onto the main road.

They heard the hoarse cries of peddlers from a distance.Because the hawkers shouted in French, Mei Tess guessed that this was probably a small French island in South America, or it might not even be the mainland of France.

When she got closer, Plum Tess couldn't help frowning tightly.She ignored the dazzling array of goods, but stared closely at the half-worn clothing of the vendors.Different from the exotic blouses worn by the women just now, the long-extinct retro clothes worn by the hawkers are almost 200 years earlier than her original era.

Mei Tess felt dizzy for a while, and she suddenly remembered a "philosophical" sentence said by an actor Miller who worked with her:

"I've often wondered if I should have been born in another era, ours is a distracting, incessant, exhausting drumbeat, these cacophonies that follow us into the house, into the bed, seep into the Our souls, so when I'm not so busy, I'm wondering if I could have been more focused and a more perfect person if I had been born in a slightly quieter time?"

At that time, she was moved to tears and wished she could click 1 likes.But when this happened, she just wanted to say, Nima, I don't want to be an antique!

Wait, Mei Tess found that while she was looking at those small vendors curiously, they were also looking at her with the same eyes.It was only then that she began to notice how her flamboyant outfit stood out from the crowd.

Damn it, where is this Fernand taking her?Mei Tess returned to her thoughts just now with restlessness, maybe she should ask this so-called cousin, but his tall and stern back seemed to force a chill, and Mei Tess swallowed it again. if.She restrained herself from thinking about it, but a strong intuition told her that she should leave here immediately.

Just as Plum Tess tiptoed around and was about to run away, Fernand who was walking in front suddenly turned around and grabbed her, "Plum Tess, can't you even take a walk with me for the last time?" ? You will soon be Edmund's bride!"

"Wh...what? The bride!" Her prediction was right, and it really was a big deal.

Plum Tess blinked her wide eyes hard, she looked so much like a frightened fawn now.But the other party was not moved by her pitiful expression, but instead showed a satisfied expression.

The plot took a turn for the worse, and Fernand suddenly grabbed her hand in ecstasy and said, "Maise Tess, don't you want to marry him? I knew that you have always loved me, and you will never abandon me!"

"No, no, please let me go..." Mei Tess managed to break free from Fernand's painful grip on her, and hurried into a lively hall not far ahead in a panic.The spacious hall was decorated with flowers everywhere, and the tables were filled with rich banquets. The banquet was full of laughter and laughter, and the eyes of the guests were all focused on her.

Mei Tess couldn't help swallowing, she was terrified of what Fernand said just now, if she guessed correctly, this should be her wedding.She looked down at the fine cotton puff-sleeved dress on her body. Although it didn't look like a wedding dress, the corners of the mouths of the guests in the room were all curled up, clearly mocking the bride who barged in rashly. Too impatient.

At this time, an extremely outstanding man in the crowd caught her attention.He was wearing a straight and neat sailor uniform. The uniforms of this era narrowed the waist, showing broad shoulders and hips, with both vigor and elegance.But his appearance is more eye-catching than his bright clothes.He is tall and strong, with a tanned complexion, blue eyes like the sea shining under the black curly hair, and a charming mouth under the high bridge of the nose.He was as good as any actor she had ever known.

The man walked quickly towards Plum Tess, with a charming smile on his lips.Mei Tess realized that this might be her supposed fiancé, Edmund, and wondered how to explain it.Oh, wait, it looks like he's about to kiss her!

His sexy lips gradually enlarged in the plum-colored Tess' amber eyes, getting closer and closer to her...
