"How long will I have to wait for the carriage to arrive, minion," the witch asked, her voice thundering.As soon as the witch appeared, all the ridiculous fantasies that Uncle Andrew had when he looked in the mirror disappeared at once, and he stood trembling aside.Aunt Letty immediately stood up and walked towards the center of the room."
Andrew, may I ask who this young woman is," said Aunt Letty coldly."
A very important person, a distinguished foreigner."
He said with a stumbling voice."
Nonsense" "You shameless person, leave my house immediately, or I'll call the police." ”Aunt Letty said as she turned to the witch.She was so disgusted with the witch's bare shoulders that she thought she must have come out of the circus."
Who is this woman slave, kneel down for me, or I will destroy you without mercy."
Jandis said."
Ma'am, please don't speak foul language in this house."
Aunt Letty said.The witch leaned upward, and Uncle Andrew suddenly felt that the woman seemed to have become even taller.She uttered the Curse of Extermination, her eyes lit up with rage, and she stretched out her arms as she made the gesture of turning the door to ashes in front of the palace of Chahn, but nothing happened.Maybe the horrible things the witch was saying were in English, Aunt Letty thought."
As I expected," she said.The woman was indeed drunk, so drunk that she was babbling gibberish and slurring her speech. ”The witch should have been terrified at the sudden discovery that her magic, which could turn people to ashes in her world, was of no use to us, but instead of panicking or frustration, she threw herself on Aunt Letty, grabbed her by the neck and knees, and lifted her over her head and threw her to the other end of the room like a light toy.Before Aunt Letty could land, the maid felt that the morning was wonderful, and she poked her head in and said, "Sir, the carriage you want has arrived." ”"Minion, show me the way," said the witch.Uncle Andrew muttered "Heinous acts of violence, must be protested" and so on, but after Janetis glared at him, he quickly shut his mouth.She urged him to leave the living room and walk out of the house at once.As Diggray went downstairs, he saw the door close as they had gone out."
Damn, if she's messing around in London and having trouble with Uncle Andrew, God knows what they're going to do."
He said."
Oh, Master Digray, Miss Kartley may be injured."
The maid said she was so happy that day.So the two of them rushed into the living room together to see what was going on.If Aunt Letty had fallen on the slippery floor or carpet, she would have been shattered, but thankfully, she just fell on the mat.Moreover, Aunt Letty was a strong old man, like most aunts at that time.She took some medicine to help refresh her mind, and after resting quietly for a few minutes, she said that there was no major problem, only a few swollen places.Then she got to work.She told the maid that this woman had never encountered anything like this today: "Sarah, go and call the police, and tell the police that a dangerous psycho has escaped."
I took care of Mrs.
Kirk's lunch. ”Mrs.
Kirk was Dugray's mother.After Mom, DuGray, and Aunt Letty had all finished their lunch, Digray began to figure out what to do.How can we get the witch back to her rightful place, that is, how can we get her out of us as soon as possible?
In any case, we must not let her do whatever she wants in this house, let alone let her mother see her.If she could, she couldn't be allowed to run rampant in the city of London.Dugray wasn't there when she "killed" Aunt Letty, but he had seen the gates of Charn's palace destroyed by her, knew how terrible her magic was, and knew that she wanted to rule our world, but what he didn't know was that witches' magic had weakened in our world.The witches, he thought, might be destroying Buckingham Palace or the Houses of Parliament right now.Even a large number of police officers have been reduced to piles of ashes.However, he didn't know what to do."
The rings are like magnets, so if I touch my yellow ring when I touch her, I will take her back to the woods between the worlds.Will she be helpless again there, because she was frightened by the sudden drag of her out of her world, or because the place was not good for her, but I had to take a risk anyway.But where the hell am I going to find this scoundrel, Aunt Letty won't allow it anywhere, and I only have two pennies in my body.If I were to look all over the streets of London, it would have cost me a lot of money to take the tram, and I didn't even know where they were.I don't know if she's still with Uncle Andrew. ”Digray thought.Right now, it seemed like the only thing he could do was wait for Uncle Andrew and the witch to come back on their own.If they returned, he had to rush out at once, catch the witch before she could even set foot in the house, and put on the yellow ring.This meant that he had to keep an eye on the front door like a rat hole.So, he walked into the restaurant and "sticked" his face to the window, as is often said.It was a bay window, and not only could you see the whole street, but also the steps leading to the front door, and no one who passed through the front door could escape his eyes."
What is Polly doing now?"
thought to Digray.For a long hour and a half, he pondered this question.Don't worry, let me tell you.By the time Polly came home for dinner in her wet shoes and socks, she was already late.When asked what she was doing, she replied that she had hung out with Degre Kirk.When pressed further, she said that she had wet her feet in a waterhole in a wood.When I asked her where the woods were, she couldn't tell.When asked again if she was in a park, she obediently said it might be in a park.As a result, Polly's mother concluded that Polly had snuck into an unfamiliar park in London that she didn't know about without permission, and jumped into a puddle to play in the water.Mom says Polly is so naughty that if something like this happens again, she won't be allowed to play with "that boy named Kirk" anymore.Later, Polly ate only some leftovers and was driven to bed, where she could not get out of bed until two hours later.In those days, such things were often staged.When Diggray looked out of the dining room window, Polly was lying on the bed.They both felt that the time was so long, and if it were me, I would rather wait two hours in bed like Polly.But every few minutes Digray would hear the sound of a horse-drawn carriage, a baker's wagon, or a butcher's shop man walking around the corner, and he would think "she's coming," and the results would often be disappointing.In addition to these disturbing sounds, only the ticking of the bell could be heard, as if it had been painful and long for hours.Out of reach overhead, a large fly buzzed back and forth against the glass window.The house is extraordinarily quiet and tedious every afternoon, accompanied by a faint smell of mutton.During the long period of surveillance and waiting, a small episode occurred.Because there's an important thing to do with it after that, I'm going to mention it here.A lady came to visit Digray's mom and brought a bottle of wine.Because the door to the dining room was open, it was easy for Dugray to hear the conversation between Aunt Letty and the lady in the hall."
What lovely grapes, these grapes must be good for her body.Alas, poor little Marbel feared that only the fruit that grew from the young earth could cure her sickness.Nothing in this world was of any use to her illness. ”This is Aunt Letty's voice.Later, they both lowered their voices and said a lot, but Dugray didn't hear it.If he had heard the phrase "young land" the other day, he might have thought it was just Aunt Letty's casual remarks, nothing in particular, and would not have piqued his interest, as adults often talk about it.Although he thinks so now, he suddenly remembered that Aunt Letty didn't know that there were other worlds, and that Diggray himself had been to one of them, maybe anything was possible, maybe there would really be a "young land" in other worlds, where there really was some kind of fruit that could cure his mother's illness Oh, can you understand what it's like to have the things you dream of, because of the countless disappointments, so hope is so beautiful and unreal, you are about to declare war on hope.That's how Diggray felt at this point.But it is futile to try to get rid of this thought, because so many incredible things have happened, maybe this time it is true, maybe it really exists.And he can also use the magic ring to explore the worlds beneath each waterhole, and he can search all the worlds.Then my mother's body recovered.At this time, he had forgotten all about waiting for the witch, and his hand had reached for the pocket where the yellow ring was kept, when there was a hurried sound of horses' hooves outside the window."
What exactly is a fire engine, I don't know whose house is on fire.Oh my God, she's coming," exclaimed Diggray in his heart.I don't need to say it, you all know who "she" is.I saw a two-wheeled carriage with no one in the driver's seat, one wheel suspended in the air, and it turned and galloped towards it with an incredible sense of balance.On the roof of the car was not sitting, but standing, Queen Janetis of Charn's god of death, the king of kings.Her eyes flashed with rage, her face was hideous, her teeth bared, and her long hair dragged behind like a comet's tail.She ruthlessly whipped the driving horse.The horse's flanks were covered with foam, and his nose was flushed.The carriage frantically rushed to the front door, grazing the lamppost and being crushed.Then the horse stood on only two hind legs, and then the witch leaped and landed gracefully on the horse's back.After she sat down with her legs crossed, she leaned down and said a few words to Ma Er.Obviously, those words don't calm it down, it only makes it more irritable.The horse immediately raised its forelegs again and roared loudly, and the hooves, teeth, eyes, and fluttering mane of the horse were dangling into a mass on which only a good rider could ride.The series of events that followed gave Digray no respite at all.A second carriage followed at a gallop.Then, a fat man in a dress and a policeman jumped out of the car.Soon, a third carriage carrying two policemen also arrived.About twenty people, mostly child servants, rode bicycles, followed by a burst of boos and cheers, and the bell rang all the way.Finally, there is a group of ordinary people who are sweating profusely and looking very happy.At this moment, all the windows facing the street were immediately opened, and at the front door of each house stood a maid or valet watching the bustle.I saw an old gentleman struggling to crawl out of the wreckage of the carriage, and several people hurriedly ran over to help him, but this pulling of the thigh and the pull of the arm was not in the same direction at all, and if there was no one to help, he might have climbed out long ago.Degree thought it must be Uncle Andrew, but the top hat that had collapsed obscured his face, making it impossible to see what he looked like.So, Digray immediately rushed into the crowd."
Yes, she's this woman, the policeman, you should take care of it, she stole hundreds or thousands of pounds worth of things from my shop.The pearl necklace around her neck is mine too.You see, she's bruising my eyes. ”The fat man shouted at Jandis."
There must be someone behind her back, and I love looking at this panda eye.Haha, she must have played beautifully, she's so strong," someone said."
Sir, you should put a delicious piece of raw steak on the panda's eye, that would be interesting."
The guy at the butcher shop said."
Hey, what the hell is going on here," the officer asked."
I'll tell you, she" As soon as the fat man spoke, someone shouted and interrupted him: "Don't let that old guy in the carriage run away, he instigated it" Needless to say, the old guy was referring to Uncle Andrew, who was already standing up at this time, rubbing his swollen body."
Okay, tell me what's going on," the policeman asked, turning to him."
Uh-huh," Uncle Andrew's voice came out of his hat."
It's not a ridiculous thing to pretend to be garlic with me.Hurry up and take off your hat for me, hear no," the policeman said solemnly.It's easier said than done.After Uncle Andrew struggled weakly for a while, the hat was grabbed by two policemen and pulled off violently."
Thank you, thank you so much, my God, who can bring me a small glass of brandy," Uncle Andrew whispered."
Listen to me, is that young lady your man?"
said the policeman, pulling out a notebook and a pencil."
Be careful," several people shouted in unison.Fortunately, the policeman jumped back in time, otherwise the horse would have kicked him to death.The witch then turned her horse's head in front of the crowd, and the horse's hind legs were already on the pavement.At this moment, she was slashing at the lasso with a long and bright knife, trying to separate the wreckage of the horse from the carriage.During this time, Digray was always looking for an opportunity to get close to her and run into her.But it was not an easy task, for there were so many people on his side that if he wanted to go around the other side, he had to pass through the horses' hooves and the fence of the house.If you know the horse, especially when you see what the horse looked like, you know that it's quite a troublesome thing.Although Degree knew the horse well, he gritted his teeth and prepared to rush over at the right time.A red-faced, bowler-hat man slammed left and right, slammed his shoulders into a path and rushed to the front of the crowd."
Hey, policeman, the horse she rode was mine, and the carriage she crashed was mine."
He said."
One person says the other, one thing after another."
Said the policeman."
It's too late, I know this horse better than you, it's not an ordinary horse, it's a descendant of a cavalry officer's war horse.If the young lady provoked it again, it would surely kill her.Well, leave it to me," said the coachman.In fact, the police were looking for a reason to stay away from Ma at this time.So the coachman stepped forward, pointed to Janetis, and said kindly, "Miss, I'll take hold of the horse's head, and you come down quickly."
You're a lady, and you don't want to get into trouble, right, you think, and it's nice to go home and have a nice cup of tea and lie down quietly. ”At the same time, he reached out and grabbed the horse's head and said in his mouth: "Quiet, Strawberry, my old friend, Quiet." ”The witch finally spoke."
Dog minion, let go of our royal warhorse, I am Queen Jantis."
Her cold, clear voice drowned out all the others.t1706231537:
