Tomb Raider: What kind of heroine is she?

Chapter 133 The Cursed Manor 2

Legend has it that there was once a count who went out and brought back countless treasures and a baby, which saved his family from bankruptcy and made him famous for a while.

Unfortunately, the good times didn't last long. Before long, a series of strange things began to happen in the Earl's manor. Terrible wild beasts would often appear in the manor at night, and the howling of animals could be heard, which was extremely terrifying. Gradually, the servants in the manor also slowly disappeared.

Not long after, several of the count's children disappeared, and even the count's wife went mad and finally jumped into the lake and committed suicide.

This made everyone think that the Count had made a deal with the devil and was rejected by God, so a series of punishments were imposed. For this reason, the Count even invited a priest to come, but he didn't expect that even the priest disappeared in the end...

People in the surrounding villages were talking about it, fearing that they would also be cursed. In panic, the count had to spend a lot of money to find a group of people to plant a lot of trees outside the manor to isolate it from the world.

"and after?"

Zhang Xingxing, who was taken to the sink by the old housekeeper to wash her hands, finally washed off the yellow, smelly mucus that was stained on her hands when she had just lay on the door. She breathed a sigh of relief when she smelled the fresh scent of soapberries that was left on her hands.

She looked up at the old housekeeper who was standing far away from her and telling her the legend of the manor in English, and asked casually.

"Later... the earl died, and the entire estate was passed on to a collateral relative of the earl."

Zhang Xingxing was stunned. Huh? How did a fantasy story suddenly become a fantasy literature about a manor falling from the sky?

Damn, she's so sour. Jealousy has made her unrecognizable.

Some people can inherit a large estate without doing anything, but she worked so hard in her previous life that she only earned a few thousand yuan a month, and even her days off were exploited by her boss. After finally becoming fashionable and traveling through time, she was chased to a foreign country in this life, and had to fight wits and courage with a black-hearted intermediary just to avoid being cheated out of money.

Just think about it, she is almost becoming a lemon...

"What are you thinking?"

The old butler in the distance looked at Zhang Xingxing, who was staring at a place in a daze with a ferocious expression on his face, his eyes flickering slightly, and he couldn't help but ask.

"I was wondering, when will a large manor be born for me to inherit? Ahem, no... I was just thinking about it."

Zhang Xingxing, who was immersed in jealousy and sadness, heard the old housekeeper's question and blurted out his true thoughts without thinking. After he finished speaking, he felt that it was not right, so he had to bite the bullet and make up for it.

After listening to this, the old butler did not feel embarrassed, but continued to speak calmly.

"Miss, you are joking. If you like this manor, you can walk around it during the day. But there are many animals in the manor, some of which are wild and difficult to tame. Please be careful..."

When Zhang Xingxing heard this, she remembered the things on her hands. Could it be that some animal was running around in the castle and accidentally rubbed against her hands?

Raising animals abroad is a bit unrefined.

She thought of the slippery touch and felt a little disgusted. She immediately stretched out her hand and washed it again. She felt much better. She turned her head and looked at the old housekeeper who was wearing a black robe, holding a candle in his hand, with a thin face, even a little skinny, and many red bloodshot eyes.

"Ah, housekeeper, you should also pay more attention. You have to speak English, be in charge of reception, and be responsible for the affairs of the entire manor. It must be very tiring. Look at your red blood streaks. You should be more careful when you are older, and don't work too hard. Being too eager is not good for other employees. You have to learn to slack off, understand?"

At least she stopped wandering around the castle like a security guard. God knows how fast her heart was beating when she turned around and saw an old foreign man approaching her from behind.

If she were to say, it would be nice for the old man to drink tea or go fishing when he has nothing to do.

If you don't catch anything, just wait a little longer. If you do catch something, show off to the other old guys how much fish you caught today. That way, your free time for the day will be spent, and you won't have to wander around the castle like a dean with nothing to do.
