Chapter Twenty-Six: Taishan Stone Dare to Be
Roque won't move out of the dormitory until the room is built.
With money in his hand, Roque was not stingy with spending, and Anton also 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, and the materials used were of course marble.
After living two lives, this is Roque's first home in the real sense, Roque 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 dock to hire two people to mow the lawn, and slowly turned this murderous house into a home according to his own imagination little by little.
Cecil Rhodes has a high status, but he is not in Cape Town, but in Kimberley, and now Kimberley is besieged by the Boers, and Roque does not know what the Cape colonial government will do, which should also be beyond the power of Police Chief August Russell, this is not something Roque can interfere with, and the only thing Roque can do now is wait.
As for Auguste Russell's one-week deadline, it is estimated that Auguste Russell himself forgot about it.
Oh no, August Russell asked for a deadline of ten days, and Austin Pence asked for a week of time.
It was another bright morning, and Roque went out early to find a plumber to see if he could get the fountain in the rockery back to work, and just after walking out of the dormitory, he heard screams coming from the nearby alley.
It's not a scream, it's the kind of wailing "babbling", as if trying to say something, but can't say it.
Roque immediately woke up, opened the leather buckle on the holster at his waist, and slowly leaned over the handle of the gun with his hand.
In the middle of the alley, several local Boers were beating a man with sticks, and the beaten person had been knocked to the ground, although the man was holding his head in his hands and his body was curled up, and Roque recognized at a glance that the person who was beaten was Zach.
"Stop, don't move!" Roark jumped out and yelled at him with his gun in both hands.
The few people with sticks turned around and ran after seeing Roque, Roque didn't shoot, the distance was already more than 20 meters, even if he shot, the probability of hitting the target was not large.
Zach was badly wounded, his head and arms were broken, and the men were so ruthless that they probably had broken ribs, and if it wasn't for Roque passing by, maybe Zach would have been beaten to death by them.
"Are you looking for me? Why not go to the pier? Roque didn't understand why Zach was here, and according to Roque and Zach's agreement, if there was news, Zach should go to the temporary rest point on the docks to find Roque.
Zach shook his head blankly and looked at the corner next to him.
A broken blanket and a straw mat were piled up haphazardly in the corner, and there was a wooden bowl that had been kicked and torn beside it.
Roque was surprised: "You've been living here for the past few days?" ”
Zach nodded, his eyes reddened slightly.
"Let's go, I'll take you to the doctor first." To be honest, Roque didn't have to do this, but the greatest virtue of being born a human being is mercy for the weak, and Roque can shoot smugglers without hesitation, and he will also give alms to beggars, which is not in conflict.
Jonathan Jackson's hospital is always so busy, and Jonathan Jackson was overjoyed to see Roque.
"Luo, it's so nice to see you, how do you feel? Are you in the process of reviewing? I applied to Mr. Auguste Russell several times, and Mr. Auguste Russell said that you are on a mission and do not have time to be examined, how is it, is your work done? For Jonathan Jackson, Roque is like a guinea pig for experiments.
"I'm sorry, doctor, I'm still working, and I can't cooperate with your examination for the time being, please help him check it, he was beaten just now." Roque didn't want to be examined, so it was right to bandage Zack quickly.
As a doctor, Jonathan Jackson still has a great work ethic, and although Jonathan Jackson is curious about Roque, seeing Zach's appearance, Jonathan Jackson still lets Roque go for the time being.
"Luo, I'm so glad to see you." I hadn't seen her for a few days, and Melody's voice was still gentle.
"Melody, call me Locke, I've become a naturalized Cape Town, Locke is my English name." Roque's attitude towards Melody is very different from that of Jonathan Jackson, and he takes the initiative to introduce himself, which is a sign of respect for his friends.
"Really? That's great. "Melody is genuinely happy for Roque, unlike Austin Pence and Henry, Melody and Roque have no interest, this relationship is more pure.
Uh, just friends.
Ordinary friends.
"I bought a house on Mill Street, and if you have time, you're welcome to come and visit." Roque sincerely invited to become a naturalized Cape Town, in addition to the Chinese police officers, Roque also needs to expand his social circle.
"Mill Street—" Melody rolled her eyes upward, thinking cutely, as if she had suddenly remembered something.
"Yes, it's the murderous mansion." Only then did Roque realize that the murderous mansion was now "famous".
"You're so brave!" Melody's expression was a little tangled, not wanting to refuse Roque's invitation, but with the instinctive fear of the murderous house.
"It's okay, you know that we Chinese know witchcraft, so we have a secret method to turn evil into good fortune, don't worry, no matter what happens in that house, it won't affect you." Roque blackened himself, about witchcraft, which is one of the rumors about the Chinese in Western society.
"Alright, alright, I'll go when you rest." Melody's Too young, too simple Tucson is broken, and she believes whatever Roque says, but Roque is not all a lie, for the town house, Roque has indeed thought of a lot of ways.
Of course, Luo Ke will definitely not listen to Luo Yi's replacement of the statues of Greek gods with Zhong Kui, it is still okay to put a "Taishan Stone Dare to be" in the living room, and the construction progress of the ear room is also normal, and it won't be long before Luo Ke can move.
This cannot be said to be Roque's superstition, for the occult, Roque does not know much, but maintains a basic respect.
Roque is not a megalomaniac, he will not think that the whole world revolves around himself, the feng shui of the East, the beliefs of the West, since these traditions have been passed down for a long time, they naturally have their tenacious vitality, Roque does not blindly follow, but he is not opposed, the attitude towards the occult is to believe in it, not to believe in it, such as the murder house, if it has no impact on Roque, of course it is the best, but if it has an impact?
Roque is definitely not willing to use his life or health to verify the existence of the murderous mansion, put a piece of "Taishan Stone Dare to be" in the living room, if you can't control the house, it is better to use it as an ornament.
Anyway, in the eyes of Westerners, Easterners are eccentric.
