I didn't know you were such a vampire

When Joya set off in the morning, the sun was still shining brightly in Monteriggioni, but when she rode a black horse and only saw the dome of the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore in the evening, the sky was covered with dark clouds, and the sky seemed Without going through the grand ceremony of the setting sun, it directly transitioned to the night, and when she arrived outside the city of Florence, the farms and noble manors scattered among the mountains and fields had already lit up their lights.

Qiao Ya found a farmer outside the city, claiming that she was looking for relatives from Rome to Genoa, passed by here, looking for a place to rest, and then spent some money to buy an unused house and bed from this family With the right of use for one night, she led the tired black horse until the afternoon, patted the horse's neck, and fed some fresh weeds. The big black horse chewed the horse grass, flicked its tail, and snorted at Qiao Ya After a day of trekking, the friendship between the horse and her has grown by leaps and bounds.

Qiao Ya thought about it carefully, probably because she used to ride a horse sideways, and every time she rode a horse, she was always in fear, for fear that she would fall off the horse, so she couldn't develop a relationship with her mount.

Qiao Ya fed the horse and went back to the house.

It was evening prayer time, and the farmer’s family was devout Catholics. Qiao Ya finished the prayer with them before eating dinner. Naturally, the dinner at the farmer’s house was not comparable to that of the Auditore Manor. Two coarse grains Bread, a glass of goat's milk, and a glass of wine. Joya tasted the wine, which tasted worse than the Chianti wine in the old Clo's tavern.

But she was not picky, and under the watchful eyes of several farmers, she swept away the bread and wine prepared for her, but the goat's milk was too smelly for her to drink.

After dinner, she said good night to her master and entered the room that temporarily belonged to her.

This room is very empty, only a bed and a table, on the table is a rusty candlestick, although the farmer's wife put a new bedding on the bed, but still can get the ashes from the candlestick and the table It can be seen that this room has been idle for a long time.

She is not picky about where she sleeps, it's just because the horse is tired and she has to find a place to rest. It's safer to live outside the city than to lead the horse swaggering into the city. She remembers Rodrigo Even a small church in Florence can arrange its own eyeliner.

She lay on the bed for a while, until the night became darker, and after hearing that the farmer's family had gone back to their rooms, she got up, took out the assassin robe from Claudia's packed luggage, and put it on , opened the window at the head of the bed, jumped out of the window with a light leap.

The window faced the back of the house, and she heard a neigh just as she landed, she turned her head and just saw the shining eyes of the big black horse, she immediately made a sign of silence on her lips with the index finger of her right hand, Then he stepped forward, patted the horse's neck, and said in a low voice, "I'm going to the city to do some business, so it's not convenient to take you with me, but don't worry, I'll be back soon."

Probably because her movements were too gentle, the big black horse quickly calmed down, but the horse's tail still flicked from time to time.

After comforting her new friend, Qiao Ya headed towards the city of Florence not far away.

At this time, the night was already very deep. Apart from the torches in the hands of the guards who were still on patrol in Florence, there were only a few scattered windows of light left in Florence. Skip, pass the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore and the Lord's Palace, and come to the Ponte Vecchio on the Arno River.

On the opposite side of the bridge, not far away, is the Totti residence.

Qiao Ya still remembered the last time she walked across this bridge, the weather was good that day, the people of Florence, who had been trapped at home by the continuous rain for many days, rushed to the streets, the sun shone on the Arno River, like grains rolling She could hear the sound of wheels rolling over the stone pavement, and the shouts of sailors on the pier on the embankment not far away.

At that time, Martina was lying on the bed, almost breathless, and in a state of panic, she jumped over Florence, wanting to find Ricardo, regardless of everyone's surprised gazes.

And just this way, there will be no chance to see those in the Totti family again.

On her way back, she stepped onto the bridge and watched as the guards took them away.

Ponte Vecchio is the place where Dante reunited with his first love, Beatrice, who had been away for many years. For many readers who are addicted to Dante's long poems, this is a place that symbolizes reunion and new life.

A year later, when Joya set foot on the bridge again, she felt a little dazed. She stood on the empty bridge in the middle of the night, listening to the sound of the Arno River under the bridge stepping over the stones at the bottom of the river. The sound, after a long time, I took my right foot, and then took a few steps slowly, walked down the Ponte Vecchio, stepped on the stone road by the Arno River, and came to Tortoise under the lonely lights of several windows. In front of Ti Mansion.

For unknown reasons, Totti's mansion was not confiscated by the city hall. The Totti family's crest was still hung on the lintel of the gate, but the lock of the gate was neglected and rusty, and the whole building was also damaged. Like this lock, old, decayed, and dusty.

After standing in front of the house for a while, Qiao Ya groped to the left of the door, found a protrusion on the wall, supported the protrusion with both hands, and began to climb up. Climbing to the window sill of the window of his own room, one hand climbed on the lintel of the window, and the other hand rubbed the gap of the window with fingertips, and then pulled the window from the outside.

She didn't procrastinate, and stepped straight into the room with a low waist, and then stepped on the desk facing the window with one foot, and jumped forward with the other foot. After rolling around on the ground, she stabilized again Body.

Her movements were light and quick, and she didn't make too much noise, but the one rolled on the ground was covered in dust.

She patted the dust off her sleeves and clothes, and walked towards the desk.

She left Florence very suddenly, and the books she brought were still piled up on the table indiscriminately, and she hadn't had time to clean them up. She came this time because she wanted to get back the "Ten Days Talk" that she brought back but couldn't take away. .

There is no moonlight hanging high tonight, so in the absence of lights in the house, it has become quite difficult to find a book that is not too thick on the messy and dusty desk things.

As a book she often reads, "Ten Days Talk" should be placed in the most convenient place for her, but she almost searched all over the desk, but still couldn't find this book.After searching for a while, she felt that she might have landed somewhere else. Just as she was about to turn around and leave, her hand hanging by her side suddenly touched something. She lowered her head and saw the thing placed on the edge of the desk. Things fell straight from the desk.

At this time, her body took a step ahead of her thinking and started to work. She bent down and caught the thing before it fell to the ground and made a sound.

All this happened in an instant, she was relieved after catching this thing, breathed a sigh of relief, and stood up straight holding this cold little thing.

She had already guessed that it was a pottery cup from the touch in her hand and the size of the object. She thought that it was probably placed on the table after drinking wine by herself, and when she was about to put the cup back on the table, she suddenly thought After all, she has always been at the dining table with the Totti family while drinking, chatting and reading, and because she can easily forget that there are things around her when she reads the book, she often knocks over the cup and dirty the book, so she hardly ever Drink while reading.

It is impossible for a wine glass to appear on her desk.

She frowned, and raised her hand to bring the cup to her eyes. With the faint light outside the window, she saw Apollo, the sun god, with his head tilted on the cup.
