Chapter 411 Left Eye Twitching
Monday morning.
Klein suddenly woke up from his dream. He rubbed his eyelids and muttered softly:
"The left eye twitches for wealth, the right eye twitches for disaster... Very good! This means I'm going to get rich!"
He got up in a good mood, washed, and then walked down the stairs with cat-like steps.
Yes, he used the body balance ability of the "clown" even when walking up the stairs. One reason was Leonard's "roll down the stairs" joke reminder when he was in Tingen, and the other was to avoid disturbing the two female roommates in the other bedrooms on the second floor.
"Let's have a Western breakfast today, toast, fried eggs, bacon... eh?"
Just as Klein made up his mind, he was shocked to find that the kitchen door was open. He walked over quickly and saw three dark fried eggs and a few strips of bacon in the pan...
The corners of his mouth twitched involuntarily. Did Hugh get up early to make breakfast? But didn't she like to buy Dixie pies from outside?
"Huh? This is..."
Klein picked up a piece of paper next to the oven and saw the beautiful handwriting on it:
"I'm going out! I have something to do!
"Breakfast... you are responsible for 'taking care' of it, got it?
"There's some toast I made in the oven! Remember to eat it!
"Don't ask me anything!
"Also, if anything goes wrong I'll run away, don't worry."
"Well……"
Klein tilted his head and scratched his ears. The words on the note echoed in his ears like voice messages... The corners of his mouth curled up unconsciously:
"Tsk tsk, Fors can actually get up so early...
"'Handling' breakfast instead of letting me eat it... Fors is really gentle... She cares about me!"
He opened the oven, took out the perfectly baked toast, golden on both sides, spread it with blueberry jam, and was about to eat it, but he hesitated for a few seconds, picked up the chopsticks, put a fried egg and a piece of bacon into the bread, then closed his eyes and started eating.
"Well... it's better than I thought..."
Klein muttered incoherently. He recalled that when he first traveled to this world, the Moretti family lived in a rented house on Iron Cross Street in Tingen. The only food they had was rye bread, rye bread...
Are Benson, Melissa, and the others also having breakfast now? It's been a while since I went home to visit them...
Klein's thoughts raced as he drank another glass of milk to finish his breakfast.
He walked to the door as usual and put on his coat before he realized: today is Monday...his day off!
He took off his coat with a helpless look, returned to the living room and sat down on the sofa, then picked up today's newspaper on the table and began to read it with some boredom.
Hey, didn't Fors know that I was taking a day off today? Why didn't she take me with her when she went out?
Is it something I can't know? Is it... something between women? So Fors went with Xio?
dong dong dong.
There was a sound of brisk footsteps coming down the stairs, and then a strong lady with messy blonde hair appeared from the stairs. It was Hugh Dilcher. She waved to the male roommate in the living room and said,
"Good morning, Klein. What do you want to eat this morning? Fried dough sticks and soy milk? Steamed buns and spicy soup? You've worked so hard!
"Eh...where's Fors? I didn't find her on the second floor just now..." Xio looked a little confused, and her steps towards the kitchen slowed down.
Klein touched his cheek somewhat embarrassedly:
"I seem to have woken up late. When I got up, Fors had already prepared breakfast and gone out.
"By the way, Xio, you guys stayed together last night... Can you tell me what Fors did? Of course, if it's inconvenient for you to tell me, then don't tell me."
Xio's face was full of disbelief:
"What! Can Fors get up so early? Can she even make breakfast?" She then quickly shook her head and said,
"No, that's not right. Wasn't Fors in your room last night?! She told me she was going to your room! Didn't you know?"
"Ah?" Klein was confused. What was going on? Was there another person in his room? It was impossible. His spiritual premonition couldn't have no reaction at all!
So… where was Fors last night?! Where did she go this morning?! Why couldn’t her two roommates know?
Klein's previous good mood disappeared in an instant. He immediately stood up and once again jumped over the stairs leading to the second floor with the clown's steps.
rub rub!
Squeak!
He opened the door of his bedroom and used his clairvoyance to try to find evidence of another person's existence. However, the placement of all the items and the short hair left behind indicated that he was the only one living here.
Klein frowned. He ignored Xio who was catching up with him and immediately took out a coin from his pocket while silently reciting the divination sentence: "Fors is in danger."
Ding!
The coin was thrown high up, and then fell down. Unexpectedly, the coin escaped the hands of the "magician" who possessed professional magic skills, and fell to the ground with a clink, then rolled and rolled... Finally, it was stuck in a gap in the wooden floor, standing upright.
"..." Klein couldn't hold back his expression. What did this mean? Did the divination fail? It didn't seem like it...
He picked up the coin on the ground, then took out the absorbent pen and paper he carried with him and wrote quickly:
"Fors's location last night..."
“Fors slept here last night?!” Xio’s exclamation interrupted Klein’s divination preparations. He followed the sound and quickly walked to the guest room at the end of the corridor on the second floor. He saw that the door was open, the bedding on the bed was a little messy, and there was a nightgown and a purple lace dress on it...
Ahem! Klein turned his head to the side and began to think frantically:
"Why did Fors come to the guest room to sleep? Even if she didn't come to my room, she could have gone to Xio's...
"And getting up earlier than usual, having an unexpected breakfast...
"What happened? Did Mr. X and Aurora put too much pressure on her? Or... did I do something wrong and she lost her trust in me? But why does Xio... also seem to be in the dark?"
Xio had already helped to put away her friend's underwear. She complained in her heart: Really, Fors should at least pay attention! You two are not married yet! What if I am disliked...
Klein made up his mind, turned around and said to Xio:
"I'm worried about Fors. I happen to be on vacation today, so I'll go find her. I'll help her if she needs anything."
……
At Backlund Green Cemetery, a young lady with curly brown hair, a pretty face, and a dark coat sneezed violently several times:
"A-choo! A-choo!
"Shit! It's so cold! Why did I have to muster up the energy to go out so early! Damn it! I miss my warm, soft bed!"
It was only the end of September, but in the cold and damp Backlund... it was already time to light a fireplace to keep warm. In another month or two, the weather would get even colder, and countless poor people and homeless people would die from the cold every year.
But in the spring of the following year, the number of this group did not decrease, and even continued to increase - the Kingdom of Loen will never lack people who yearn for the capital of all cities and go to the land of hope, Backlund, to pursue their dreams.
And that young girl was Fors. She had several dreams yesterday, all of which were about being kicked out of various organizations because of her "lack of ambition"...
So she learned from her mistakes, had a good sleep last night, got up early this morning, tried to make a "delicious" breakfast, and then went to the "One Hundred Pounds Newspaper" to finish the manuscript that would be used later. There was also the crucial last step - to come to Green Cemetery to "accidentally meet" the member of the "Abraham" family.
Fors has already recognized his own "value". Since the "Storm Church" and "Tarot Club" let him join because of the "Abraham Family" behind him, he had no reason to refuse to communicate with Abraham from the beginning. After all... considering the strength of the Storm Church and Mr. Fool, wanting "peaceful communication" is already full of sincerity.
As for why she knew to come to Green Cemetery... on the one hand, she had previously told old Mr. Abraham the burial place of Mrs. Anlisa and her husband, and on the other hand, she used her "astrologer" ability to do a simple divination, and the divination hint was obviously here.
"I've decided! Five more minutes! If I can't touch him, I'll go home!" Fors had repeated this sentence many times. She could only use these five-minute, five-minute time periods to make herself hold on a little longer. She really didn't want to and couldn't give up this time.
"Ms. Wall? You..."
Lawrence cried out in surprise. He came here to say goodbye to his deceased brother and his brother's wife. As he was old and had old injuries, coupled with the sadness brought by the news of his brother's death, he felt that he could not hold on for too long. Therefore, he had to leave Backlund as soon as possible to find a trustworthy family member, entrust the seal to him, and leave a will.
He walked up to the tomb and saw the lady mourning in front of it and the fresh flowers placed in front of it. He couldn't help but sigh:
"You are such a kind and good-hearted lady. With you taking care of her during her last days, I'm sure her life must not have been too hard..."
"Hiss!" Fors sucked back some of her snot, and then said in a hoarse voice:
"No, this is not kindness, nor is it goodwill..." A complex emotion suddenly rose in her heart, with guilt and sadness, and then she said sincerely:
"Mrs. Anlisa once brought me an unforgettable warm time after I lost my mother."
Lawrence put down the flowers in his hand and sighed: "This shows that you value friendship."
Before Fors could respond with a few prepared words, the old man suddenly started coughing violently. His legs became weak from coughing and he fell to the ground, looking like he would suffocate to death at any moment.
“Ah?” Fors was stunned for a second, then immediately squatted down and performed first aid with the level of a doctor who graduated from a regular college. Seeing that the other party’s condition was getting worse, she no longer concealed her shortcomings and quickly took out the "mutated sun holy emblem" from her pocket, input her spirituality, grabbed a ball of warm light and pushed it towards the old man’s chest.
"Cough cough..." Lawrence's coughing symptoms quickly eased, and he said in disbelief:
"You are a Beyonder? The 'Sun' Path?!"
"Uh..." Fors was a little distracted at this moment. She muttered in her heart:
So, so warm... Damn! Why didn't I think of taking out the "Holy Sun Emblem" to keep warm before? I was freezing for so long in vain!
……
"Turn right! Go straight!" Klein shouted to the driver across the carriage. He was sitting in a hired carriage at the time. In front of him stood a gold-inlaid cane, which would tilt in a certain direction from time to time to point out the direction of a certain person's location for the "Fortune Teller", and he would then direct the driver to change the route in time.
"Sir, are you going to the Carpensa Hotel?" The middle-aged driver wearing a felt hat recalled some bad things and immediately showed a strange expression on his face. He had sympathy in his eyes. After hesitating for a few seconds, he said to the young passenger:
"Please don't get so excited and don't do anything!
"I have experience with this kind of thing. Call the police first! Let the police catch the adulterer in the act, and leave the rest to the lawyer! In this way, the division of property after the divorce..."
“…Ah?” Klein wondered if there was something wrong with his ears. His left eyelid twitched violently a few times, and he couldn’t help but mutter:
"Could it be that the left eye twitches for disaster and the right eye twitches for fortune? Am I remembering it wrong?"
