Chapter 347 346. The Priest’s Family
Gascoigne’s home is next to a wide canal.
This may not be intuitive.
The window of his house is next to a large ditch that is more than three meters wide and six meters deep, without a cover or fence.
The ditch seems to be infrequently used. There is not much water underneath, only a thin layer of silt.
It seems that to make it easier for people to enter the ditch, there is also a ladder directly pressed not far from the window of Gascoigne's house.
Lan En can't imagine what kind of mental state the designer of this kind of building must be in while working?
This is not yet an era where night lighting is widely available. Who would break their neck if they took a single step at night?
Still on the edge of a residential area!
“The architecture of Yanan is very strange. They have all kinds of precision equipment, but the basic design is completely out of line with outside common sense. Maybe it’s because the city is built in the mountains, and terrain with high and low differences is very common. The reason is. If you can’t adapt to the style here, it will be difficult to settle down.”
Gascoigne explained this to the new strangers.
"But. There is no fence in such a deep ditch. What if we walk at night?"
"Walking at night?" Gascoigne asked with a strange smile, " After last night, do you still expect anyone in this city to go out at night?"
Lan En was speechless.
The two people walked along the ditch for about half a minute, passing several coffins tied with chains, before arriving at the door of Gascoigne's house.
His home is no different from ordinary Yannan people.
Thick wooden doors and windows are equipped with strong iron fences. There are several turns of iron chains wrapped around the iron fence, and several locks are hung on the chains.
Insecurity makes every Yannan people’s houses have similar configurations.
At the door, Lan stood aside and Gascoigne stepped forward to knock on the door.
In Yanam, slamming on the door is a very annoying and disturbing behavior.
Because that kind of sound makes people can't help but think of wild beasts trying to break into the door at night.
A brown-haired woman came out of the door, wearing a red knitted scarf as a shawl.
The slender and beautiful figure is in contrast to the strong Gascoigne, but it also matches well.
After seeing Gascoigne standing at the door, she stepped forward and hugged the priest very naturally, as if she had not smelled the smell of his stinking blood.
I felt that I was holding a living human body instead of a corpse, and then I seemed to let go of the stone in my heart and breathed a sigh of relief.
This seemed to be a habit between the two of them. Only after they separated did the woman see Lan En behind her.
"Hello, Ms. Viola."
Lan greeted politely.
"Who is this?"
The brown-haired woman asked hesitantly. Gascoigne made the introduction sideways.
"An unlucky foreigner who just arrived in Yanan last night. The church should not be able to spare time to arrange for him now, so I plan to let him rest at home for a while."
The hostess is indeed like Gascoigne. said.
After hearing about Lan En's current situation, he warmly invited him to stay for a few more days.
"Gascoigne only teamed up with Uncle Henrik. I have always felt that the two of them are not safe. It would be better if there was another hunter."
Viola's side He led Lan En towards the house and said happily.
"Although I'm not a hunter and don't know much, it's easier to do things when there are more people, right?"
Gascoigne listened to his wife's words and smiled helplessly. He took off his wide-brimmed hat and hung it on the coat hook by the door.
"I've told you many times, Viola. The hunter's job doesn't make sense."
But the hostess seems to have learned the resident skills of an old couple.
She can automatically filter what her husband says and what she doesn’t want to hear. Gascoigne could only smile sheepishly at Lan En.
This is a cozy little house. It can be seen that Viola put a lot of thought into decorating this home.
Scattered small decorations, spotless sofas, tablecloths, and shiny glass and tableware
"Is dad back?"
One side Shouting, the sound of two small leather shoes running on the wooden floor came from the back room.
The two little girls hurriedly ran from the back room to the living room. Then when they saw the stranger standing in the living room, they quickly stopped and became nervous.
They seem to be twins. The two little girls are wearing the same small leather shoes, white socks, and plain dresses that look like the uniforms of an early women's college.
The two look very similar, sweet and well-behaved. They also inherited Viola's brown hair, but one had a pure white hairband on her head, and the other had a bright red hairband.
When they crossed Lan En and saw Gascoigne, their restraint when a stranger entered the house suddenly disappeared.
The girl with the red headband seemed a little bolder. She did not approach the hunter stained with animal blood, but just stood there and called "Daddy".
Gascoigne did not approach them, but waved with a gentle smile, and then introduced Lan En.
"My children, twins. The one with the white headband is my sister, Oliveira. The one with the red headband is my sister, Victoria."
"They are both cute."
Lan En complimented half sincerely and half politely.
When visiting someone’s home, you must first praise the children.
Ignore the "humanity +1" fireworks effect displayed on the retina by Mentos.
Lan En smiled at the two girls.
But my sister seems to be less courageous and shy. When both sisters' faces turned red, she took the lead and pulled her sister back behind the wall.
Behind Lan En, Gascoigne had already taken off his coat, which was stained with a lot of blood, and threw it into the bamboo basket.
"Take a shower first to clean up the blood."
Lan En nodded. Before he knew what lycanthropy was, it might be a safer choice to listen to the locals' advice.
The two of them washed their bodies in the bathroom one after another, and Viola prepared a set of Gascoigne's old clothes for Lan En.
Fortunately, the priest is not small, otherwise Lan En might not be able to lasso him.
Gascoyne's hunting clothing is easy to clean. In fact, the reason why most Yharnam hunters choose leather coats is because it is easy to wash away the thick blood.
But for Lan En's armor, Viola does not have the skills of an armor cleaner. She is just a full-time wife.
Therefore, we can only leave it there and wait until the Healing Church has time to settle down Lan En.
Lan En did not raise any objection, just nodded with a smile
In fact, he was a little inclined to leave Yanan after a short rest.
This city gave him too much feeling that something was wrong.
Whether it is the miraculous [Blood Therapy] or the weird animal transformation disease. Everything is wrong.
But since Gascoigne has promised to take care of his family when he goes out to buy incense today, it shouldn't be a big deal to delay him for a while.
After washing away the blood stains of the lycanthropic patient, Viola had filled the table with sumptuous food.
It seems that because of the hunter's schedule, as a hunter's wife, she also adjusted her cooking habits.
What was supposed to be the most sumptuous dinner has now been moved to the morning.
By the time Lan En came out of the bathroom, Gascoigne's family was already sitting at the dining table.
There was room for him at the table.
