beauty and money

In the early morning of the next day, all Nemer's servants seemed to have disappeared, and they would never appear in front of people unless they rang the bell or were necessary. Their caution and care made Mary feel uncomfortable.Led by a servant, Mary came to a corridor full of portraits. Most of these ancient portraits were covered with black veils and could not be seen clearly. The portrait, the face is very similar to Mary, this is probably the poor lady.

As Mary gradually went deeper, she heard the howling sound of some beast echoing in the corridor, bringing unspeakable desolation to this nightmare manor.Marie's French was not very good, and she could barely hear the pleading and pain in the vague wailing.Huge fear spread in her heart, she subconsciously stroked her neck, her teeth were tight, and every step was extremely difficult.

The servant also saw Miss Mary's panic at this time, and he asked politely: "Miss Mary, do you need me to call a few more servants. The young master is in a very bad condition now, and he refuses the doctor's approach."

"No, there's no need. The more people there are, the more it will irritate the patient." In fact, Mary really wanted to find more people, but she knew very well the impact of external stimuli on a patient.Just last semester, in the process of studying philosophy, they vaguely mentioned the theory of a German philosopher, Herbart. Herbart's theory proposed that the study of a person's thinking should be a separate discipline. Breaking away from the scope of philosophy, it is defined as psychology.This brand-new concept has not been recognized by the public or even traditional schools, so his theory and research still belong to the category of philosophy.Mary is not very interested in philosophy, but she can almost be said to be very good at completing the coursework. If she is not afraid of being too high-profile and causing suspicion, then the philosophy president of the Oxford Elite Association will probably be replaced. You must know this position It has always been the most outstanding students from each college in Oxford.

With apprehension and uneasiness, she took a deep breath and walked out of this luxurious room after the servant opened the door. What she saw was a mess everywhere. Vases, statues, curtains, books, fruits, etc. were all thrown on the ground. , as if after being robbed, even the heavy solid wood furniture was smashed, revealing the white stubble of the wood, and there were dark brown things on it, as expected, it should be formed after the blood dried up. look at the source.

I saw a tall and strong man who was unusually tall and strong tied to the bed. Four or five servants around him were busy cleaning and dealing with him. The rope that tied him turned out to be the thick rope used on the mast. He kept struggling and howling. The scene was very terrifying , The feather quilt on the heavy big bed was torn to pieces, and every time he struggled, he could hear the creaking sound of the bed board being overwhelmed.

A man dressed as a doctor tried to bleed him, but couldn't calm him down.A piece of cotton balls in a phlebotomy tray and only small cuts in the man's arm, as he struggled so much that doctors couldn't bleed him properly.Mary walked lightly on the messy ground, and the moment her gaze met his, the man miraculously calmed down, the veined forehead and the hideous red scar made him look like a demon in hell It's no different.

Taking advantage of this time, the doctor bled him, and when the blood flowed out, he struggled more violently, "Ah..." An angry and frightened cry sounded here, and his dark brown curly hair was covered with strands of sweat. A strand of it sticks to the scalp, which looks particularly painful.As he struggled, the blood from his arm splashed everywhere, and the doctor yelled at the servant to hold him down, he couldn't be so excited.

Seeing this situation, Mary immediately understood that the blood stimulated him, and he was very sensitive to blood.

"Yarlin, look at me." Mary yelled loudly, and she yelled back and forth several times, and even stepped forward to move the man's head to her instead of the bleeding arm in the eyes of everyone.Taking advantage of this opportunity, the doctor hurriedly stopped the bleeding. It seems that the bloodletting treatment is useless. Normally, the patients who have been bloodletted will be very weak and have no strength to struggle anymore. But this man is born with amazing strength. Difficult to subdue him.

Following Mary's determined gaze, the man gradually calmed down, but his heavy breathing showed that he was still very nervous and frightened.Fear, yes, most people will think that he is angry when they see this person, he is scary, but in fact it is the opposite, he is afraid, he looks like an adult, but his mind may not be mature, he is afraid of these people!

"Get out slowly and don't provoke him anymore." Mary ordered immediately. She used to see doctors doing bloodletting for patients, but since she read a lot of books in Oxford, she sneered at bloodletting. The country doctor didn't A few people know about bacteria and pharmacy, so they know how to let people bleed, regardless of the patient's illness, and sometimes they are not as good as those gypsies who boil herbal medicine.

The servants looked at each other, wondering if they should listen to this bold woman. Facing such a demon, she was calmer than Mrs. Greene, but would it be dangerous to keep a weak young lady here?

"Miss Mary, is it okay for you to stay here alone?" the servant who led her was worried.

"Listen to me, leave, I'll be fine." Mary was struggling in her heart, she hoped that she could move and leave with these people, but she couldn't, her reason could always overcome her emotions, and her conscience could always overcome prudence .

At this moment, the servants glanced at each other and left quietly.With the departure of those people, the man tied to the bed calmed down a lot. He no longer sweated nervously or wailed hysterically.His chapped lips parted and he uttered a word: "Mom."

Marie was embarrassed by such an intimate title, but at the moment she had to play his full role and appease the older son.

She looked at him, he was in very bad condition, he hadn't showered for some time, his body exuded a disgusting smell of sweat, his clothes were torn like a beggar, his gnarled muscles were exposed from the opening, which could be seen ugly scars, which may be traces of the fire.His face was scratched by someone's nails, his young face was covered with stubble, strands of hair were greasy and gave off a sour smell.Mary could hardly breathe at all, she wanted so badly to lose her nose, his face felt greasy where her fingers touched it.

The two of them were relatively silent for a long time, and then the man said in a weak voice, "Hungry." Still in French.Mary stood up, and Yarlin struggled immediately, he was afraid that his mother would disappear again.Mary comforted: "Don't be afraid, I'll call someone to prepare the food, and I won't leave." Mary's French is not very good, and her accent is weird, but Yarlin didn't notice it at all, and Mary's French is not very similar to Mrs. Guz The place where it was, was also automatically replaced in his mind. In fact, he had very little impression of Mrs. Guz, only the tragic scene had brought him a huge impact, deeply imprinted, and could not be erased.

Mary rang the bell to summon the servants and prepared some salad, fruit and bread. Instead of letting the servants bring them in, she carried the tray herself. Since she couldn't find a good place, she had to put the tray on the bed, and she sat bedside.Now he was tied up and couldn't move, she hesitated for a while, but still didn't untie the rope, who knew if he would attack her, so she could only ask Mary to feed him.

After eating something, this aggressive boy wanted to drink water. Mary tried to feed him with a spoon, but either he choked, or Mary's trembling hands spilled on his collar and face, making him very embarrassed.After much tossing and tossing, the whole morning passed.

At noon, Mary wanted to go for convenience. Although the guy was appeased, he looked at the door like a big dog, waiting for Mary to come back.The quiet man was quiet but not good, Mary really didn't want to face the messy and stinky man in this place anymore.

She walked up to him and asked repeatedly: "I'll let you go now, but you must promise not to run around or be disobedient. You promise..."

Yarlin nodded, acting like he was very obedient.Mary went to untie the rope, but it was so thick and fastened that she could not untie it at all.After a long time, there was no movement, and she could only stare at Yarlin. Yarlin was innocent and motionless. Mary sighed helplessly, and could only call the servant to help. When the servant walked into the room, Yarlin Lin Mingming's hair stood on end like a frightened beast, with a ferocious expression on his face.

The servant was too frightened to go forward, but Mary comforted him: "He won't hurt you, relax, relax." Yarlin calmed down a little, but his muscles were stiff and tense, obviously he had no direction to guard against, and then he would explode Hurtful look.The manservant tremblingly helped Mary untie the rope, and rushed out with small steps at a speed rarely seen in his life. Out of politeness, he didn't run away, but it was not bad.

The moment the rope was loosened, Yarlin jumped up from the bed, and the overwhelmed bed board let out a final roar. Mary felt the whole bed sink, the bed board collapsed, and a large piece of the quilt sank in. This room was finally A relatively intact piece of furniture declared disintegration.

Mary was terrified by this turn of events, and almost ran away, but although Yarlin broke free from the shackles, he still stood there obediently. The tall figure was full of pressure, but he didn't dare to move. He stared at Mary with a hideous expression. A horrified smile appeared on his face, trying to please him.

"Hey, this place can't stay anymore, we have to change places, and you have to freshen up..." Just like that, Yarlin followed Mary and left the room like a large animal, and the male and female servants all bowed their heads They didn't dare to raise their heads. It was the first time they faced such a harmless young master. Although they were curious, they knew that the way to be a servant is not to ask about matters between masters.

After the servant arranged them next door, Mary repeatedly asked for a suite. She didn't want to share a room with a strange man when she went to bed at night.But even though the two bedrooms are far apart, Mary is still worried that there will be some messages from the two of them, but if she leaves for too long or too far away, Arlin will become irritable and irritable, and she doesn't know what to do. Can only avoid suspicion as much as possible.

Even taking a bath is very difficult. She stood at the door and kept talking to herself, so that the men inside who were being served by a few servants to wash or rinse knew that she hadn't left. Her face was burning red and she wanted to How embarrassing, how embarrassing, she really didn't know what evil she had done, standing at the door listening to a man taking a bath, and had to keep talking.

Mary outside was very embarrassed, and the servants inside were also uncomfortable. The young master's expression of killing people at any time, coupled with his hideous face, made them feel more stressed. Although he cooperated with them obediently, he never let go of his guard from the beginning to the end. , he is so dirty, he changed the water three times before it was much cleaner, the bath water that came out was muddy, it was horrible, his greasy and long hair used a lot of soap, and even sprayed a lot of perfume to get rid of it It smelled disgusting again, but there was nothing he could do about the stubble on his face. As soon as they took out the razor, he would start roaring, no matter how people outside tried to appease him.

Finally, when Yarlin came out dressed properly, Mary almost laughed out loud. This beast-like man was tied up and didn't know how to walk. Obviously, the clothes were too tight, which made him uncomfortable.They had to re-measure him. How could the former Master Yarlin let them approach obediently, so the clothes didn't fit him well.

In particular, his boat-like feet were much larger than the average gentleman's. When wearing slippers, the heels were exposed, which was very comical.As soon as this tall man came out, he turned to Mary with a face of accusation, and these people were going to rub his skin off.

Seeing the man running towards her quickly, Mary's heart still jumped. No matter what, she was still afraid of him. He didn't know when he would go crazy, so she should be more vigilant.
