Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 26

Rock would not move out of the dormitory until the side room was built.

With the money in hand, Roque was not stingy with spending it. Anton wanted to take people to repair it himself, but Roque drove them all into the training ground and went to the market to hire a few people to repair it. The material used was of course marble. .

After living for two lifetimes, this is Rock's first real home. Rock cherishes it very much, just like a squirrel preparing to overwinter. He went to the market in the morning to buy two curtains, and in the afternoon he went to the pier to hire two people to mow the lawn. Slowly and bit by bit according to his own vision, he turned this haunted house into a home.

Cecil Rhodes has a high status, but he is not in Cape Town, but in Kimberley, and now Kimberley is being besieged by Boers, Rock does not know how the Cape colonial government will deal with it, this should be It is also beyond the scope of power of Police Chief August Russell. This is not something Roque can interfere with. The only thing Roque can do now is to wait.

As for August Russell's one-week deadline, it is estimated that August Russell himself has forgotten it.

Oh, no, August Russell asked for ten days, and Austin Burns asked for one week.

It was another bright morning, and Rock went out early, looking for a plumber to see if he could restore the fountain in the rockery to work. Not far from the dormitory, he heard screams from the alley next to him.

It's not a scream, it's that kind of "babbling" like howling, as if trying to say something, but can't say it.

Rock immediately woke up, opened the leather buckle on the holster at his waist, and slowly leaned forward with his hand on the handle of the gun.

In the middle of the alley, a few local Boers were beating a person with sticks. The person who was beaten had been knocked down to the ground. Although the person was holding his head in his hands and his body was curled up into a ball, Rock still recognized him at a glance. The person is none other than Zach.

"Stop, don't move!" Rock jumped out, holding guns in both hands and shouted sharply.

The people holding sticks turned around and ran away when they saw Rock. Rock didn't shoot, and the distance was already more than 20 meters. Even if they shot, the probability of hitting the target was not high.

Zach was seriously injured, with his head and arms broken. Those people attacked him so hard that he might have broken his ribs. If Rock hadn't passed by, maybe Zach would have been beaten to death by them.

"Are you looking for me? Why don't you go to the pier?" Rock didn't understand why Zach appeared here. According to the agreement between Rock and Zack, if there is news, Zach should go to the temporary resting point on the pier to find Rock.

Zach shook his head with a blank expression, and looked at the corner next to him.

A broken blanket and a straw mat were randomly piled up under the corner of the wall, and there was a broken wooden bowl next to it.

Rock was surprised: "Did you live here these days?"

Zach nodded, his eyes flushed a little.

"Let's go, I'll take you to see a doctor first." To be honest, there is no need for Roque to do this, but as a human being, the greatest virtue is compassion for the weak, and Roque can shoot smugglers without hesitation. It also gives alms to beggars, which is not a conflict.

Jonathan Jackson's hospital is always so busy, Jonathan Jackson was overjoyed to see Rock.

"Ro, it's great to meet you. How do you feel? Are you reviewing? I have applied to Mr. August Russell several times. Mr. August Russell said that you are on a mission and don't have time to come Get checked, how's your work done?" For Jonathan Jackson, Roque was the equivalent of those experimental guinea pigs.

"Sorry, doctor, I'm still at work, and I can't cooperate with your examination for the time being. Please check him for him. He was beaten just now." Rock didn't want to be examined, and it would be serious to bandage Zach quickly.

As a doctor, Jonathan Jackson still has professional ethics. Although Jonathan Jackson was very curious about Rock, seeing Zach's appearance, Jonathan Jackson let Rock go temporarily.

"Luo, it's nice to meet you." Melody's voice was still gentle after not seeing you for a few days.

"Melodie, call me Locke. I have been naturalized in Cape Town, and Locke is my English name." Rock's attitude towards Melody is completely different from that of Jonathan Jackson, and he introduced himself proactively. This is for a friend. respect.

"Really? That's great." Melody is really happy for Rock. Unlike Austin Burns and Henry, Melody has no interest relationship with Rock, and this relationship is purer.

Uh, just friendship.

normal friend.

"I bought a house on Mill Street. If you have time, you are welcome to be a guest." Roque sincerely invited him to become a naturalized Cape Town. In addition to Chinese policemen, Roque also needs to expand his social circle.

"Mill Street—" Melody rolled her eyes up, thinking hard cutely, and suddenly seemed to remember something and exclaimed.

"Yes, that's the haunted house." Only then did Rock realize that the haunted house was now "famous".

"You're so brave!" Melody's expression was a bit tangled, she didn't want to reject Rock's invitation, but she was also instinctively afraid of the haunted house.

"It's okay, you know that we Chinese all know witchcraft, so we have the secret method to turn evil into good fortune, don't worry, no matter what happened in that house, it will not affect you." Rock blacked himself, about witchcraft, This is one of the rumors about Chinese people in Western society.

"Okay, okay, I will go when you are resting." Melody's pattern is broken, and she will believe whatever Roque says, but Roque is not all lying. For the town house, Roque really I have thought of many ways.

Of course, Rock will definitely not listen to Luo Yi's suggestion to replace the statue of the Greek gods with Master Zhong Kui. It is still possible to put a "Taishan Stone Gandang" in the living room, and the construction progress of the ear room is also normal. It won't take long for Rock to be able to moved.

This cannot be said to be Rock's superstition. Rock doesn't know much about occultism, but he maintains basic respect.

Rock is not an egomaniac, and will not think that the whole world revolves around himself. Eastern Feng Shui and Western beliefs, since these traditions have been passed down for a long time, they naturally have their tenacious vitality. Rock does not follow blindly, but he does not object either. The attitude towards the occult is that it is better to believe it than to believe it. For example, things like haunted houses would be best if they didn't affect Roque, but what if they did?

Rock is definitely unwilling to use his life or health to verify the existence of a haunted house. Put a piece of "Taishan Stone Dare" in the living room. If it can't be used as a town house, just use it as an ornament.

Anyway, in the eyes of Westerners, Easterners are weird.
