55 The Redwin Twins

The two new neighbors were a pair of twin boys with orange hair, one named Horas Redwin and the other named Hobb Redwin, with grapes embroidered on their chests.

It is obvious that they are all from the Redwin family on Qingting Island in the river bay, or in other words, they are the two sons of the contemporary Earl of Redwin. Because they are still young and there are too many people in Red Fort at this time, they are arranged to move into Meige Tower.

The twins cried and screamed when they moved in, and their voices were obvious. Relying on their sensitive hearing, Lan Li vaguely learned that it seemed that one of them had scratched his face by a black cat after entering the Red Fort.

It seems that it is not serious, but it is a bit broken. But the person involved seems to be resolute and quarrels, as if half of the Meigelou can hear it.

"Seven Gods save me, how could they have such a loud voice?"

"Not only has a loud voice, but also has a big temper."

Some servants whispered when they passed by, relying on their sensitive ears, even if they were sitting on the balcony, Renli could hear what they were saying.

"I remembered a midwife in my hometown in the countryside. Every time she went out to work, she shouted louder than a woman who gave birth to a child. I still remember one time when she scared the woman in the next village…"

"I wish all the noble young masters were as quiet as Master Lan Li, although they would lose their temper sometimes."

"Yes, the little guy is good everywhere, he is a little shy..."

The voices of discussion gradually drifted away, and Lan Li selectively ignored the words about her own words, but kept thinking about the useful news.

Finally, he looked at the fireplace not far away and touched his chin thoughtfully.

That night, the twin brothers who had just moved into the new room of Meigelou were sleeping well when they suddenly heard a very terrifying sound coming intermittently, as if there was a child crying and a gloomy smile as if it was a gargoyle.

The strange voice was low and obvious, but there was no way to find out where it was. So one of the short orange haired twins was frightened and cried and howled, while the other one was slightly taller, ran out of the room screaming and shouting that there were ghosts while running.

That night, there was a lot of noise from Meigelou. After someone comforted the two twins, it was already midnight and dawn was about to begin.

However, although there were many people who were alarmed, no one cared about the nonsense that these two little guys said. Instead, they just thought it was just a nightmare or a new place that they were not adapted.

However, at midnight the next day, the two little guys started to make noise in horror, and then cried and insisted on going home or not staying here again.

The servants who were responsible for taking care of them discussed with the court chief, but the rooms in the castle are basically occupied. If you want to change places to live, you can only send people to clean up some abandoned towers first.

Otherwise, the twins would not have been placed in this royal residence.

So the old man had no choice but to continue to appease the two young masters of the family, and finally he barely completed the task.

On the third day, after breakfast, Lan Li pretended to be wandering around and found two twin boys who looked a little wilted in a fountain courtyard outside Meige Building. After approaching, he asked curiously.

"You guys really saw the hell?"

The morning after the twins moved in, the palace manager arranged for them to meet, so they met.

"Really, the sound is so scary." The big orange-haired boy said in a weak tone. The short man shrank his neck and then waved his fat little fist again, and his ugly face covered in freckles was full of anger.

"So what if it's a ghost? Don't tell me to see it, otherwise I must ask it to taste my dad's power!"

Lan Li said a word, then looked at some guards not far away, and whispered: "I guess that's not a ghost."

These words stunned the two children with similar appearances.

"What's not a ghost?"

"It must be a human being." Lan Li said: "I tell you, you just came here and didn't know that there are many secrets in this castle, such as a secret passage inside the wall."

"Secret passage?" The fierce short boy frowned and his nose: "My father said that only mice can dig holes, and there is also a secret passage where the king lives?"

"Of course." Lan Li nodded: "I fell in two days ago. It was pitch black, but it was very big. I suspect that someone used this secret passage to scare you."

"Why do you want to scare us?" The short boy was stunned.

"How could I know this?"

"I don't believe it." The tall boy shook his head and said, "That's a ghost, how could it be a human."

"Your home is not far from the old town. Haven't you heard the scholars there say that there are no quirky people in this world?"

Lan Li snorted after hearing this: "But do you believe it or not? Anyway, if I want to find this secret passage, they don't believe me. But as long as I find it, I must convince them and buy me a lot of good things. Well, you know, I discovered something that no one knows, and it must be a great achievement."

These words made the twin brothers look at each other.

"Is it really a human?"

"Is there really a secret passage?"

They asked in unison.

"It must be like this, the person in the secret passage." Lan Li nodded, and then suddenly asked with enthusiasm: "How is it? Should I come and find it together?"

"Why should we join?"

"What's the benefit?"

"The advantage?" Lan Li said pretentiously: "The advantage is that I have received the credit, and you can have the opportunity to catch the person who scares you."

"Do you really think that's a human?" After hearing this, the short boy asked again.

"Of course, I don't believe that there are ghosts in the world, the bachelors say--"

"I'll join!"

Before Lan Li finished speaking, the man clenched his fists and nodded, his ugly face covered with freckles looked like he was gritting his teeth. The big orange-haired boy turned his eyes and asked curiously: "You said the credit just now, and there is still credit for this?"

"Of course, this is Red Fort, where the king lives. It would be amazing if I discovered a secret that the king didn't know." Lan Li said, pretending to be serious and exclaimed another purpose.

"But if we want to catch the person who scares you, we can't tell others immediately even if we find the secret passage."

“Why?”

"I have heard a word. I pulled the haystack and alarmed the snake inside. If we tell this matter after we find it, the person will definitely not appear again. So after we find the secret passage, we should secretly tell my elder brother Robert and ask him to catch him. My elder brother is very powerful, so that we can get credit and catch the fake ghost. Of course, the credit is mine, and you can't compete with me."

The words in the black-haired boy sounded very admiring Robert, but in fact he didn't trust him at all. If the cheap brother with thick lines was really reliable, he wouldn't have been so troublesome. Just go and report it directly. At most, he just thinks about how to report it to make himself more like a child.

Relatively speaking, although his second brother Stannis had a bad face, he would not be drunk and talk nonsense. Unfortunately, he had never seen anyone recently.

"Why are you the only one who deserves the credit?" The short boy was unconsciously taken into the corner by Renli.

"Of course it's mine, otherwise it's yours." Lan Li answered unhappily, which made the other party's face turn red and he looked a little suffocating. A big man next to him said something.

"We can find it ourselves."

These words made Lan Li stunned and then frowned.

"You can't find it yourself."

"Why can't you find it?" The dwarf also reacted at this time, laughing, "Why can't you find us if you can find it?"

"Because I've fallen in, everyone knows."

"We don't know, we insist on looking for it!"

"That's right! We're going!"

"Then I found it, and the credit and that fake ghost are all ours!" They said, and after making a face at Lan Li, they turned around and ran away with a giggle.

They ran very fast and seemed a little impatient.

Looking at the backs of the two people for a moment, Lan Li scratched her head on the spot, and suddenly felt a little trouble.

Although he deliberately stimulated them, it was just a "preparation" for him. He didn't expect these two guys to be so "unsustained".

His original idea was to participate in it himself, so everything before sounded reasonable. He originally expected to take these two guys around for a while, and then accidentally discovered some clues or something.

After discovering the clues, he would say something to stimulate these two guys and ask them to leave them alone. In this way, he would almost pick himself out, or it wouldn't matter. With two "shields", he would be under much less "pressure".
