It was the summer of 1987, and Gund Manor was still an excellent place to escape the summer, as in previous years.It's just that it's different from the past, this manor is no longer a holy place that people are vying to praise.On the contrary, people in the small town kept silent about this imposing castle-style building shrouded in eerie thick fog, as if the bones of innocent people were buried under its gorgeous buildings.

In 1987, on a certain summer night, the venerable Eddie Rick Gund, the owner of Gund Manor, suddenly went mad and committed suicide after killing his wife.The eldest son and the second son of the Gund family lost both their father and mother overnight, and the manor has been daunting ever since.An unsuspecting outsider once stayed in this manor in the middle of the night, but accidentally saw a ghost wandering in the manor.However, the people in the small town have another view on this.They felt that Mr. Gund, who had always been very prestigious, went mad because he was bewitched by his cousin, the blond femme fatale.

Mr. Gund and Mrs. Gund met at a party, they soon fell in love and got married.They have two lovely and well-behaved boys, the eldest son Novice and the second son Jonafin.The family was living a happy life, but all of this disappeared without a trace after the arrival of the devil.

Six years ago, Mr. Gund took in his cousin India Gwana, whose parents died suddenly and became homeless.The kind Mrs. Gund quickly accepted this beautiful, highly educated blonde, and often encouraged her to get out of her grief and look forward.Not long after, something unexpected happened.Under the temptation of his cousin, Mr. Gund broke his vow with his wife.India gave birth to their son the following year—a good-looking, unboyish child, also with blond hair.

"Just like his mother, he is a beautiful little devil who will make people fall." People in the town commented on the youngest son of the Gund family - Yorman Gund.

For Jorman, childhood was equated with his mother.India is a real noble lady, unlike the country gentlemen of the Gund family, the Gwana family is a real noble family.The profound family history and cultural tradition accumulated for a long time, coupled with the higher education received with the approval of enlightened parents, make India elegant and quiet.Most of the time, she stayed alone in her own little world, coldly shutting out the door of the man who coveted her—except for that one time when she got what she wanted because of negligence.After her son was born, she spent a lot of time on her son.She taught the little man all kinds of knowledge by herself, and told him all kinds of interesting stories, the beauty and knowledge of the countries she had visited.She taught the little guy the etiquette of aristocrats, big and small, and taught him to write and play the piano.

Throughout the absurdity of the story, India has been a silent spectator.She stood aside and watched quietly, watching how hysterical the man who was admired and respected by people was behind his back.Hysterically, he forcibly took possession of his cousin and the Wanguan family property behind her, and hysterically couldn't get what he wanted, so he went crazy and wanted to kill his wife and son.

"I can't let him kill my sons," said the dying Mrs. Gund to India.The woman risked her own life by killing Eddie Rick Gund, already insane. "I know, he's always liked you, but I've never hated you for it. So, I beg you, for the first and last time, please take care of my children."

India did not answer her, and Mrs. Gunder kept her eyes open until the moment when she could stand it no longer.

"Maybe it's all because of me." India sighed deeply, "But I will bear this bitter fruit in the near future, and maybe my child will be involved."

The summer of 1987 seemed extraordinarily long, perhaps because so much happened during it.For the young Yeoerman, the pain was far more than the simple loss of his dear mother.

At the beginning of summer, Gund Hall lost its master and mistress.Young children are not enough to take on the important task of inheriting the family, so India began to take care of some big and small affairs.People in the town believe that she is a witch who can confuse people's hearts, so they stay away from her.Fortunately, Noveth, the eldest son of the Gund family, has been able to share some things. In addition, her son Yorman has been smart and quiet since he was a child, and has never caused her any trouble. India feels that life can barely pass .

But then rumors of haunting suddenly spread in the manor, so the people in the town were even more convinced that the witch India was behind it.

"Let's execute her the way witches were executed in the old days." Someone said this, and people responded one after another.

The fire was burning underfoot, and the beautiful blond woman was erected by the brutal people and tied tightly to the cross.Her face was still as cold and indifferent as usual, as if this was the result she had expected a long time ago.The red flame burned up, and the satin-like blond hair gradually turned to ashes inside, and then drifted away with the wind, and finally there was nothing left.

The crazy people shouted happily, "The witch is dead, and the town will never be patronized by the devil again." They said.

Under a tree on the hillside in the distance, stood a small figure.He stood in the shadow of the tree, almost fading into another shadow of the tree.His shoulder-length blond hair fluttered in the wind, and his expression was as indifferent as his mother's.

It was the last chance to cry, but the tears couldn't fall.

Is it because my love for my mother is not as deep as I imagined?

At that time, Yeo Erman certainly didn't know that the deepest grief was directly rotted in the heart.It will continue to corrode the human heart, absorb nutrients, and then expand day by day, and it will never be cured.
