Chapter 489 [The Storyteller]

Chapter 480 Three [The Storyteller]

Louise was awakened by the sound of the news on the TV.

The first time she woke up, the little girl immediately turned over vigilantly, curled her small body into a ball, and then stared at the surrounding environment with wide eyes.

The room was spacious, even luxurious.

Moreover, it is not the so-called luxury that Louise, who is only five years old, values ​​most—a five-year-old girl doesn't know what luxury is.

But what surprised her the most was that the place was clean.

Clean, dry, neat, and warm.

Far more comfortable than that dirty, damp and cold warehouse.

The overhead chandelier emits a soft and warm glow.There was also air conditioning in the room - a rarity in the 80s.Five-year-old Louise had never seen anything like it.

She stood up from the bed curiously, and reached out to touch the air outlet of the air conditioner.

The fingertips felt the warm wind blowing from the air outlet, and even blowing across the little girl's face, the comfortable, itchy feeling made Louise's little heartstrings tremble slightly.

The bed was soft.

Although she still doesn't know what luxury is, the soft mattress and sheets make Louise very clear: these must be expensive.

very expensive very expensive very expensive...

She hurriedly jumped off the bed, and to the little girl's embarrassment, she couldn't find her shoes.

On the floor was a pair of clean slippers, the kind with fleece, which also looked very expensive.

She stood barefoot on the ground, hesitating to wear it.

Just then, the bedroom door was pushed open.

Chen Nuo stood at the door and looked at Louise with a gentle smile on his face: "Wake up?"

"Yes...Yes, sir. I'm awake." Louise immediately stood up straight and looked at Chen Nuo cautiously.

"Don't worry, don't be afraid or nervous. This is where I live. I said I would take you out of that warehouse, and then I would settle you well." Chen Nuo came over and patted the girl's head: "There is food outside. Yes, you must be hungry."

The table in the living room is already set with food.

Not very expensive, but hearty.

Bread, butter, a roast chicken.

And, a bowl of soup that smells delicious.

Louise walked to the table and hesitated, she was pushed by Chen Nuo and sat down, and then shoved a fork into her hand.

"Don't be afraid, eat with confidence."

Louise held her fork blankly.

But Chen Nuo turned around, took the pair of slippers on the floor in the room, squatted down in front of the little girl, and put them on for her.

Louise stared blankly at all this, and then her eyes quickly filled with tears!
"Don't worry - although I've said it many times, I still want to say that you really don't have to be afraid." Chen Nuo smiled and said, "By the way, I actually like to get along with children. I have a younger sister, Two years older than you. But...she was the same age as you are now when I first met her.

Oh yes, I also have a daughter. "

Louise wiped her tears with the back of her hand, then took a deep breath: "Thank you, thank you! Sir!"

I don't know if it was dinner or what.

Anyway, it must be past dinner time.

Louise was working hard to deal with the roast chicken on the table, while Chen Nuo was flipping through the newspapers in London today.

In fact, Louise was also distracted—obviously, it was the TV in the room that attracted the child's attention.

There's no kid who doesn't like watching TV!

What's more, since Louise was abandoned, she lived alone in the warehouse and hadn't seen TV for a long, long time.

Chen Nuo thought for a while, walked over to change the TV from the news station, and stopped after finding a station with cartoons.

"Watching TV is fine, but don't eat too slowly. Eat quickly, you'll have time to watch TV when you're done."

"Yes, sir!"

Louise looked back very obediently, then lowered her head and tried to eat.

The little girl was obviously very hungry, or she hadn't eaten such good food for a long time.

She actually ate half of a roast chicken, and then drank half a bowl of thick soup.

Seeing that Louise had already eaten up, she still glanced at the butter and bread on the table, but Chen Nuo didn't dare to let her eat it again, for fear that she might get sick.

"Okay, if you eat too much, you will have a stomachache. Don't worry, I can guarantee that you can eat whatever you want here, and you won't have to worry about food in the future."

With that said, Chen Nuo walked over, picked up the napkin and wiped the corner of the little girl's mouth.

After making a phone call and asking someone to clean up the room, Chen Nuo took a glass of water and took a sip.

"Sir, is this... your home?"

"No, this is a hotel. I lived here when I was in London." Chen Nuo smiled.

"Will you always be here?"

"...I shouldn't." Chen Nuo sighed: "I told you, I still have relatives at home, in addition to a sister and a daughter, I also have a mother, and a wife, They're all waiting for me to come home."

"So... will you leave here soon?" The little girl's eyes were a little terrified.

Chen Nuo: "..."

It's not that he doesn't know the little girl's thoughts and fears.

but……

If it wasn't 1981, if it was Chen Nuo's own era, he would have adopted Louise without hesitation.

It's not difficult.

But... this is not our time.

If he goes back, he guesses that he probably won't be able to bring Louise back.

"You sit down first, we need to have a good chat." Chen Nuo seriously pulled the little girl in front of him and let her sit opposite him.

Next, Chen Nuo carefully and seriously inquired about Louise's life experience.

They asked more carefully and paid great attention to details than when the two met for the first time.

However... no gains.

Louise's life experience is that simple.

Abandoned her mother, nothing special.

And the father of the seaman or some other profession... Louise didn't remember it at all.But judging from her mother's occasional swearing words, she was also an ordinary person at the bottom.

After her mother left, Chen Nuo also asked carefully about Louise's life after the warehouse.

Nothing special.

Including her encounter with the gray cat.

Louise actually doesn't think her friend is the gray cat until now.

She thought her friend was the cat slave named Blake.

According to Louise, after she lived in the warehouse for a few days, suddenly one day, the "thin and tall Mr." came to the warehouse and gave herself some food.

The other party came a total of three times.

Bring some food every time.

But that "thin and tall" gentleman rarely speaks, and is a taciturn guy - well, Chen Nuo understands that Black may not have planned to say anything at all, he is just a cat slave, and everything follows the instructions of the gray cat That's it.

But these things are enough to make Louise grateful.

In the eyes of an abandoned and homeless little girl, Blake is a benefactor who brings food to help her.

Even if he is a little taciturn, he will only be thought by the child that he does not like talking.

After carefully inquiring about Louise's past experience again, Chen Nuo himself had to come to a conclusion in his heart:
There was nothing special about this little girl named Louise—as if all the preparations and arrangements were for her to meet herself.

He even used his spiritual power to explore some of Louise's consciousness space again.

The little girl is really ordinary.

Her consciousness space is only the level of ordinary people, and there is nothing special about it.

Also, there is no talent of the able.

She is just an ordinary person.

·
At night, Thompson Roderick, the great knight commander of the Blade Knights, came to the door.

He holds a stack of materials in his hand.

These are Louise's.

According to Louise's own account, Chen Nuo asked the great knight commander to conduct some investigations.

For the local A-level capable team, this was simply too easy, and Louise's life experience was quickly found out.

"The child's mother's name is Ava, her real name is Meryl Swan. Ava is just a stage name. Work...well, how do I put it, she's a dancer in a dance company -- not a serious dance company. . It is in those taverns in the docks and harbors, the grass stage crew who perform dances for the sailors and drunkards. So they are not serious dancers, wearing less clothes, showing their breasts, showing their thighs, drinking and drinking with them, if If you pay a little more, you can accompany something else.

This is generally the case.

But this woman has run away, she owes a lot of money, so she ran away a month and a half ago. "

A month and a half?
Chen Nuo frowned.

Children have no concept of time - obviously, when Louise said "a few days", in fact, a month and a half has passed.

God knows how this five-year-old child could have survived alone for a month and a half without the help of the gray cat.

Chen Nuo nodded.

Then, the Great Knight Commander talked about another matter that Chen Nuo asked him to investigate.

About... Yunyin.

"We can't find that woman." The Great Knight Commander was a little trembling, obviously afraid that he would be blamed by Chen Nuo for not getting things done: "We mobilized almost all the people and eyeliners that could be mobilized in London, but No one saw this woman again.

You know, after the shipwreck, London was obviously a mess, and a lot of government departments were completely paralyzed.The Prime Minister made two speeches in one breath, but failed to stabilize the situation. Now that the supplies from north London have entered the city, some public anger has finally been quelled. I heard that the meteorological department in charge of monitoring the sea situation is going to be unlucky this time. The tsunami didn't have any detection alerts..."

"Okay, I don't care about your Prime Minister's speech, and I don't care if the meteorological department is unlucky or not." Chen Nuo waved his hand: "I just need to find that woman."

"I think she should still be in London." The Great Knight Commander said cautiously.

"reason?"

"She..." The Great Knight Commander looked a little embarrassed, but under Chen Nuo's scrutiny, he took a deep breath: "According to the results of the two-day investigation, it is clear that this woman has been in London for several years, isn't it? What?
She has been in London for several years since the photographer took her.

With all due respect, I have witnessed the battle between you and her with my own eyes. She is very powerful.Obviously, she is also a controller.

A controller who has been in London for a few years, and I have reason to believe that she should make this her home.

Even if it is not a home, it is a long-term residence.

She even had a special reason for her to live in London for a long time.

In this case, I don't think she should leave easily.

Um……"

Moreover, from the scene where the two of you are fighting, it seems that the one who was beaten was you.You were beaten by others - so she is not afraid of you at all, and since she is not afraid of you, naturally she will not move away.

Well, the last two sentences are the words of the great knight commander, but naturally, he would not dare to say it in the face of Chen Nuo.

The young man in front of him can beat that woman, the Great Knight Commander is not sure, but it must be very easy to beat himself!
Chen Nuo thought for a while, then nodded: "No matter what, let your people continue to look for it. Tell me immediately if you have any news - keep looking!"

"Okay." The Great Knight Commander sighed.

"Also, do one thing for me."

"what?"

"Change my place." Chen Nuo shook his head: "I don't want to stay in a hotel anymore."

"Is it the conditions here that make you dissatisfied?" The Grand Knight Commander was a little worried.

"No, there are too many people here." Chen Nuo frowned.

After all, it is in the urban area of ​​London, and it is in the wealthy West London.

The population density is too high.

In case I meet Lu Xixi again, no, if I meet Yun Yin, if the two fight, innocent people will be hurt.

Although the scale of this tsunami was not large, and before the tsunami hit, it had been blocked by Chen Nuo's psychic storm in the sea.

But it has also taken a toll on the city.

Although I don't have much affection for these Westerners, it can even be said that I don't have much affection for them.

But...innocent things, Chen Nuo doesn't want to happen again.

"Find a place that's farther from the city, bigger and quieter."

"Okay, I'll make arrangements right away."

·
Not only did the Blade Knights send people to search for it, Chen Nuo himself was also using his telepathy to search the city.

However there was no response.

Not undiscovered.

After all, in 1981, London was the second largest metropolis in the world after New York.

Chen Nuo found several capable people in the process of searching the whole city with his telepathy.

But it wasn't what he was looking for.

There was no trace of that cloud sound.

Chen Nuo was not surprised.

For a controller with the same level of strength as himself, it is very easy to hide himself in the face of another controller's spiritual search. As long as he converges his mental awareness, he can avoid the search.

·
Three days later, the Great Knight Commander completed a task given by Chen Nuo: arranging a new residence.

However, after this guy brought three alternative addresses, Chen Nuo was stunned when he saw one of them.

This……

The picture shows a manor castle.

Located in the northwest suburbs of London.

Chen Nuo: "Uh..."

This is so special, isn't it Lu Xixi's home decades later! !
"This place belongs to a declining noble family, but it is now in decline. The financial constraints make them unable to repair the manor that has been idle. And... unfortunately, according to them, the manor entered a few days ago. Thieves, they also destroyed something..."

Hearing this, Chen Nuo coughed a few times.

Into thieves?Broken something?
Isn't that what he broke the day he fought Yunyin?

"They don't even have the money for repairs. But I think this place suits your requirements. It's very secluded and quiet, and the place is big enough, so..."

"Did you buy it?" Chen Nuo looked at the Great Knight Commander in surprise.

The Grand Knight Commander felt a little guilty this time: "This...buying it won't make it...the other party is not very willing to sell it, so we rented it. The lease period is one year.

If you need to live longer, I can find a way for the family to sell the property! "

"No, it's fine to rent. One year... is definitely enough."

Chen Nuo sighed.

He didn't intend to live in London for so long.

To be precise, he did not intend to stay in this era for so long.

"I have already sent someone to repair it. I heard that the hall and doors and windows on the first floor of the manor are damaged, but these repairs will be done quickly. I have also asked people to purchase some daily necessities and household equipment, and they will be delivered as soon as possible. …”

"When can I live there?"

"At the latest...later...tomorrow night!" Looking at Chen Nuo's eyes, the Great Knight Commander made a serious promise.

·
After seeing off the Grand Knight Commander, Chen Nuo returned to the living room.

Little Louise was watching TV, and when she saw Chen Nuo approaching, she immediately stood up obediently.

"Keep watching." Chen Nuo sat next to Louise, then smiled: "Tell you one thing, we are moving tomorrow."

"?" Louise cast a suspicious look: "This place, isn't it good?"

"Good, but that place is more suitable."

Chen Nuo didn't intend to explain too much to the child.

Louise didn't ask more, but she asked another question.

"There's one thing that I've been thinking about for the past two days. I even dreamed about it at night, sir..."

"what?"

"That day, when my friend Blake came to see me in the warehouse, I..." Louise hesitated for a while: "I seem to see that the cat he was carrying spoke."

Chen Nuo was taken aback: "Huh?"

Probably due to Chen Nuo's reaction, Louise immediately became a little timid, and said in a low voice, "I know maybe I'm wrong... no no no, I must be wrong.

How can a cat talk.

But...but I really, I swear, I really think I saw it! "

Saying that, Little Louise looked at Chen Nuo seriously: "Sir, is there really a talking cat in this world?"

uh, this...

Chen Nuo thought about it, but fortunately, he has ample experience in dealing with children!
Five-year-old Chen Xiaoye has lived with Chen Nuo for a long time.

"Actually, animals can also communicate like people." Chen Nuo thought for a while: "Let me tell you a story."

"Okay!"

Louise immediately regained her energy, pulled a pillow and hugged it in her arms, sat cross-legged on the sofa, and looked at Chen Nuo intently.

What kid doesn't like listening to stories.

"Well... let's not talk about whether cats can talk or not, but I can tell you a story about other animals.

In this story, someone kept a very human eagle.

Sculpture, you know?
A very large, very large bird with a very ferocious temperament.

This person raised such a vulture, lived with the eagle, and regarded this eagle as his brother..."

Next, Chen Nuo told Louise the story of "The Condor Heroes" after the makeover this evening.

There is no doubt that in Jin Yongda's novels, The Condor Heroes are the most suitable for girls - Jin Yongda's other novels are not very popular with girls.

Except for the gods.

Because... in the bones of the gods, it is actually a love story.

Speaking of Yang Guo's life being saved by an eagle, and then taught martial arts by a eagle...

Finally, 16 years later...

Louise was fascinated by what she heard, and before she knew it, she didn't sleep all night!
Two people, one dares to speak, the other dares to listen.

Chen Nuo is a strong mental power and does not need to sleep at all, so he ignores this.

Louise was too absorbed in listening, and she took a nap this afternoon, so she was not sleepy at all at night.

Unconsciously, he actually talked all night.

"Sir, I've never heard of this story! Did you make it up? It's great!!" Louise finally cheered.

Chen Nuo's face twitched: "No no, this is not written by me. The one who wrote this story is a Chinese writer who lives in HK now."

"HK I know. It's a city in the Far East."

"So you see, eagles can be brothers with people. Then cats can also be friends with people. Although things like talking won't happen, but..."

"I will definitely raise many, many interesting animals in the future!" Louise laughed. "This writer must have other stories, right? Sir, can you tell me another one?"

"Huh? One more thing?"

"That's right! Please say one more thing!"

"I can't do it now." Chen Nuo shook his head and refused: "I was too engrossed when I said it, and now it's dawn! What you need now is not to listen to stories, but to sleep! Now, go back to your room, take a shower and sleep!"

In the luxury suite of the hotel, Louise returned to her own room. After taking a shower, she put on new pajamas, but suddenly an idea came to her mind, she turned and ran out of the door again, facing the standing Chen Nuo opened his mouth in front of the living room window.

"gentlemen."

"Ok?"

"The story written by that writer is in Chinese, right?"

"Correct."

"Can I learn Chinese?"

"why?"

"I... I think that if you leave in the future, no one will tell me these stories. I have learned Chinese, and I can read the novels written by that writer myself."
