2025-01-07 10:39:33"Have you seen enough?" Throwing away Ennis who was already unconscious, Mia looked up at the narrow door leading to the backyard. Her red lips pulled up into an extremely twisted smile, and she reached out to pick up the rusty knife and walked towards the man who had been standing there for who knows how long.
If the other party had the guts to confront her, she would still respect him as a man, but now?
Looking at the small puddle dripping under Wright's feet, Mia curved her eyes. A waste dared to run to someone else's house and embarrass himself?
She walked to Wright and stopped, and asked gently, "Do you want to go by yourself or do I send you out?"
Wright, with the herb-chopping knife on his neck, was shaking like a sieve.
He didn't understand why he couldn't move in front of this little girl. Obviously, her thin body looked like she could fall down with a push, but he couldn't reach out to do anything to her. Instead, his mind was blank and he couldn't even control his body.
"Why don't you speak?" Mia exerted a little force on her hand, and a bloodstain appeared on Wright's neck, "Are you mute?"
How can I know what choice you want to make if you don't speak?
Mia raised her hand to cover her nose, trying to block the increasingly unpleasant smell in the room, and frowned slightly.
What she wanted to do most now was to lie down on the bed and have a good rest, giving this severely injured body a chance to buffer. She really didn't want to continue wasting time with such a person.
"I... I will go by myself..." Wright seemed to be unable to see the weird and twisted smile, and he felt that he finally had the ability to speak, and he stammered.
For a moment, he had the illusion that Arthur was disemboweled by his daughter.
The pair of brown eyes that should have a warm background looked dull, as if covered with a layer of dust, without any luster, and wanted to drag everything she looked at to hell...
"Very good." Wright shuddered unconsciously when he heard the girl's obviously happy voice.
What kind of person would be so happy after his father died and his face was ruined?
He moved his body carefully and found that the terrible knife did not move with him, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
But looking at the girl's dull and lifeless eyes, he couldn't think of any resistance.
For a moment, he felt that the other party really wanted to kill him. This feeling came inexplicably, but it really hit him, making him dare not do anything rash, including any resistance.
And is resistance useful?
Wright asked himself in his heart and got a negative answer.
When facing a crazy person, the best way is to stay away from her and not let this madness break out on yourself.
He had no doubt that if he had any consciousness of resistance, he would be stabbed by the other party, which was definitely not the result he wanted.
Wright convinced himself that he was not cowardly or courageless, but just made the right choice.
"You forgot one thing." Seeing that Wright was about to walk to the door, Mia suddenly said, "Take Ennis with you~"
Her voice was cheerful and light, but in Wright's ears it sounded like a demon demanding his life. How could someone say such terrible words in such a relaxed tone?
The girl's originally clear voice instantly became a thin steel wire around the man's neck, forcing him to turn around and look back to grab his brother's body.
Huh?
Wright was stunned as he touched the warm body, and his eyes, which were not very focused, finally had a little spirit. Ennis was not dead?
"Are you happy?" Mia squatted beside him with the rusty guillotine in her hand, and asked with a smile. Her brown eyes looked sparkling and beautiful under the broken light of the street lamp outside.
But Wright was even more afraid.
What is more terrifying than a madman?
It is a madman who has no humanity and has been completely twisted!
He felt that the little girl in front of him was such a person. Perhaps witnessing the death of his brother gave her too much stimulation. This originally timid and cowardly girl has gone completely crazy. She looks like she will stab the people around her with the knife in her hand at any time, and she doesn't care about it.
Maybe she will tear out their internal organs after disemboweling them, just like the murderer who killed her father...
Wright knew that he shouldn't be so afraid of a little girl. She was so small and thin, and it seemed that she could be knocked down with just one finger, but he couldn't control his heart.
His body was getting colder and colder, and he trembled slightly unconsciously. He silently lowered his head to help Ennis up, and dragged his brother out of the herbal medicine shop with great effort.
This place is simply a hell on earth. God has released all the devils!
Drag Ennis, Wright hurriedly left this place he never wanted to step into again in his life.
"Mia?" Perry, who was hiding beside Anne, saw two figures leaving the herbal medicine shop. She walked hesitantly to the door of the herbal medicine shop, trying to make sure that the person left here was Mia and not someone else.
"I'm fine, just a little tired." Mia's figure appeared at the door, with a trace of fatigue on her face, looking fragile and shaky.
She really felt a little tired.
She was seriously injured, and she should have rested well at this time, instead of fighting with the scum.
Now that the matter has been resolved, people relax and all kinds of problems that were ignored because of anger resurface. The pain of the wound and the fatigue of the body suddenly emerged, so she could no longer ignore it. "I think I need to have a good sleep now, and the rest of the things will be solved after I wake up."
The body of a fourteen-year-old girl is really not strong enough to stand here and solve various follow-up problems after suffering such a serious injury and spending so much energy - such as Anne.
"I know, I know." Perry said repeatedly as she looked at Mia holding the door frame, with sympathy for her in her heart.
What a poor girl, she encountered so many things in one day, and now she really needs a good sleep to restore her strength.
Facing the half of Mia's face that was not injured, Perry felt very pitiful, "I'll help you send Anne to the room."
Things are already bad and can't get any worse. Now they can't do anything else except rest well.
"Thank you, Perry. I really don't know how to deal with these things without you." Mia sighed, facing Perry with her intact face, and said gently with tears in her eyes.
I feel like a scum who deceives the feelings of a decent woman.
The current situation is bad enough. She really doesn't want any unexpected situation to happen again. She can only pretend to be a little white rabbit to deceive people's sympathy.
Perry, who has been busy taking care of Anne and Arthur, didn't know what this girl who looked like a wounded little white rabbit had done in the herbal medicine store before. She just patted her hands with pity, held Anne with one hand and Arthur with the other hand, and sent them to the room behind the herbal medicine store together.
I didn't notice that Mia always faced herself with her uninjured face, even when she walked.
"I'll come again tomorrow morning. You and Anne have a good rest." Perry said to Mia after helping Anne to the bed.
The poor girl is now shaky and needs someone to take care of her.
Mia didn't say anything, just hugged Perri tightly and watched her leave.
She was really tired and in pain, and urgently needed enough sleep to restore some energy.
Without thinking about the problem, Mia wrapped herself in a quilt and fell asleep quickly.
If there is anything, wait until she wakes up, she really can't stand it now.
Mia slept until the afternoon of the next day.
The head was cut open and the person was blown away directly. If this happened to someone else, he would have died long ago - Marina herself was indeed dead, so it was not a strange thing that Mia slept for almost a day.
But the pain that remained in her body still made her feel like there was a hammer hitting her head regularly, and the injured half of her face was like a needle rack, it hurt even when she didn't move, not to mention the muscles on her face that were pulled when she got up, it was so painful that she shed tears physiologically and her eyes were red.
This kind of problem can't be solved immediately, she can only get through it slowly.
And there is also the matter of the herbal medicine store.
Mia turned her head and looked out the window. The bad weather in London has not changed at all in the past hundred years. People walking on the streets in heavy fog can be trampled to death directly if they don't rely on the sound of horse hooves to distinguish. It is really too unfriendly to the injured.
But she has no way to change her living environment now.
Although having a real identity is troublesome, it is indeed easier to integrate here than making up an identity out of thin air or buying an identity.
Especially with her current physical condition.
I looked down at the hands that were not deformed but covered with calluses. I touched them and they looked good at first glance, but the skin was a bit rough. No matter how you look at it, this appearance does not look like someone who lives a life of luxury, not to mention the scar on his face.
In this situation, it is really difficult to buy a suitable identity for yourself. There are too many things to consider.
Mia didn't even think of leaving Anne a large sum of money and running away. She should adapt to her current identity and run the herbal medicine store well.
Apart from anything else, at least she is qualified in the knowledge of herbs, which can always be of some use, right?

Whether it can be used or not is another matter.

She has to make these things work no matter how tired she is.But to her surprise, when she used two pieces of bread paste from the kitchen that was so hard that it could knock out her teeth to satisfy her appetite and went to the store, Perry had already helped clean up the empty space in the herbal medicine store that was previously stained with blood, and she didn't have to do it herself."Are you feeling better?" Perry saw Mia appear, put down the bucket in her hand and asked, "When I went to see you this morning, you were still sleeping, so I didn't disturb you. And Anne, she doesn't look very well..."Anne kept crying. Although she didn't cry out loud because there was a child sleeping next to her, it was obvious that her bad mood co

Besides, not every British person loves sweets to the point of being intolerant. There are a few who cannot tolerate sweets. What if one of the two police officers is such a person?Silently cutting another piece of cake with cream and canned pineapple for Perry, Mia cut the remaining half of the cake into two halves, put one half in the cabinet, and took the other half to Anne."I'm sorry..." Anne, who had lost weight and looked much more haggard in a short time, said to her daughter with a guilty look when she saw Mia coming in.She didn't want to be so decadent, but some things were not something she could control just by thinking about it. The endless nightmares at night and the poor physical condition tortured this poor woman.

Derek glanced at Mia who seemed absent-minded, walked to the side of the white-haired forensic doctor and whispered, "Miss Colette wants to see her father's body."He winked at old Toby, and made a gesture of opening the abdominal cavity with his hands at an angle that Mia couldn't see, reminding the coroner who had a bad memory, Mr. Colette, who was.Derrick sympathized with the young girl.

From this, we know that these two police officers have not made any progress in this matter.It's normal to think about it.The Victorian era's means of handling cases were not very rich. They relied more on the police's brains to connect some matters and reason to investigate. But now all the clues cannot be said to be zero, and there is not much difference. Anyway, she herself did not get any clues from Anne, and there were too many things in Colette's house-not so precious, but messy enough. She has not turned over all these things in a short time, and can't draw too many conclusions."Well, I can't say that we will not find the murderer in the end, but we really have no clue so far." Derek listened to Mia's words, felt her low mood, and said a little uncomfortably.The difficulty of this case is comparable to Jack the Ripper. It is completely incoherent. That is, the incident happened indoors and not many people saw the body. Otherwise, it would have been in the newspaper like Jac

Throwing the bearded man into the warehouse, Mia washed her hands, lay back on the bed, closed her eyes, and fell asleep.It is not worth punishing yourself with other people's mistakes, especially this kind of garbage. Even if you want to deal with them, you don't have to be hard on your body. It's still not too late to think about this problem tomorrow morning.Thinking like this, Mia had no dreams all night until dawn, and woke up in the misty sunshine of London's winter.The faint pain in the wound on her head reminded her of her current situation, making her irritability a little worse.It's a pity that no one gave her a chance to vent her irritability at this time, so she could only sit quietly on the bed for a while, waiting for her mind to clear up before standing up and preparing for a day's work.Mia took a towel and took out a kettle of hot water from the stove and added some cold water to the basin.

She was right. Eric had been counting the time since early morning for his patient to come for a follow-up visit, but he waited and waited, and even after lunch, he still didn't see the strange little girl he had been thinking about. This made the doctor very depressed, and he began to think about a question, is the other party not coming?But in the end, he temporarily controlled the urge to run to Colette Herbal Medicine Store with his medicine box to find someone, and decided to wait a little longer. Maybe his patient just forgot about it because he was busy with life?"A young girl will not care about her face." Eric comforted himself. Even if the little girl was for her face, she would come and would not disappear.When Mia came, she saw Eric with a frown on his face, as if someone owed him money, and the person who owed him money was herself.This made her feel confused.

"Woo woo woo?" Arthur covered his face and pretended to be a monster, trying to get away with it, but the other party was not fooled at all. "Do you still remember your grand wish?" Seeing him like this, Mia smiled slightly and whispered the devil to herself, "You said that when you grow up, you will take back what Patricia took from you, but you don't want to learn anything now. What can you rely on to fight against her when you grow up?" Do you really think that you can completely take back your power by relying on the status of the earl? Although my cheap grandfather did a lot of immoral things, he was also an excellent graduate of a decent public school and university. No matter what he studied, his grades were indeed good, and his political skills were not bad. If it weren't for the appearance of Arthur, an heir who was easier to control and manipulate, he might not have died so quickly! But what does Arthur have? All kinds of relationship networks were physically isolated I

"You just let her go?" Old Lady Leamington wanted to scream. She didn't understand why the housekeeper, who was always shrewd, was so confused about this matter. If Mia was going to leave here, wouldn't she put a few servants around her? Old Lady Leamington, who was already exhausted by the London incident, was about to faint from anger at the housekeeper. She had clearly told her to take good care of Mia and not let her feel dissatisfied, but did she take care of her like this? But the housekeeper also felt very wronged, "I have met all of Miss Marina's requirements according to your requirements... ..." The other party was simply domineering in the Meckhill Manor during this period of time. She had everything she wanted, and she never refuted her opinions. On the contrary, this lady often gave her the cold shoulder for no reason. She endured it all, so how could it not be considered taking good care of her? "You!" Old Lady Leamington looked at the housekeeper's aggrieved face a

To be honest, Mia is a very generous employer. She never minds spending money, and she is very generous, as if there is no gate. But the price of not caring about spending money is that her demands are also high. In order to withstand the strong winds of the Scottish Highlands, the building materials used in this manor, which has been hundreds of years old, are stone. Even though the building has been constantly maintained and renovated over the years and has become more and more modern and comfortable, it is still a property that the previous Earl of Lymington did not like. This has led to the fact that since he bought it, Luworth has not been renovated on a large scale, and of course there is no mention of replacing some items here. For example, when many places in London have already used electricity, Luworth is still a place that uses candles and kerosene lamps. This alone requires a lot of effort to re-lay the pipes, not to mention that Mia is not interested in things like fir

I am not good, but others are worse than me. This cognition makes Mycroft feel much more balanced. At least he is still Mia's ally, but old lady Leamington does not have this treatment. I don't know what kind of mood this old lady will be under the double attack from both inside and outside. "What a dirty politician." Sherlock commented on his dear brother. Since becoming a government employee, his brother's heart seems to be getting darker and darker. It's okay to plant his own people in the ally's house, but now he is gloating over the situation of another ally. This is not a problem of black heart, but a problem of heart becoming ink! "Dirty politicians provide you with house rent and shelter." Mycroft accepted his brother's ridicule in full and was very proud. "And this alliance is originally a layer on top of a layer. Without Mrs. Leamington in the middle, I can spend less time and have less pain." This is what Mycroft is most dissatisfied with. Cooperation still has to be s

"You're not going to cause trouble again, are you?" Mars was stunned. Please, my Lord Duke, how long have you just killed Emeril Leamington? Now you want to kill Broussard Leamington again? "Why not?" Lionel shrugged, "Anyway, he's not a good person. Many of the natives in Africa died at his hands. I'm getting rid of harm for the people~" By using the name of the Leamington family, this gentleman has made a lot of money for himself. He colluded with the local garrison to sweep through tribes one by one, and they were all exterminated! So he said that the roots of the Leamington family are rotten, and there is no good person. "I don't know when you have such a strong sense of justice." Mars almost didn't recognize the person in front of him, and suspected that he was cast a spell. And the person who cast the spell was Miss Marina Leamington. But even if the lady is a beauty, the scar on her face also ruins her beauty. Is it really worth it for him to do this? Mars thought so and

The nature of this world is so ugly. Most of the time, power and influence will make people's desires expand infinitely, until they finally get out of control and do things that can no longer be undone. He is of course no exception. Whoever hurts him must pay double the price, this is his principle. But today he met a very interesting person, he can return some kindness to this accident. "What terrible thing did you think of again?" Mars, who had already stopped and didn't want to get to the bottom of it, felt the joyful atmosphere emanating from Lionel, but still couldn't control his gossipy mentality and asked. This young master killed a whole family in Austria. He killed people just like he killed ants. He was so quick and decisive that he almost suspected that he had some psychological problems. That was why he was so calm when doing this job. "How could it be a terrible thing?" Lionel looked at Mars in surprise and refuted his nonsense, "I was obviously doing good things!"

There seems to be a wall between the British brain and the British brain! The corner of his eye twitched, but Lionel still picked up his catalog and began to look for the one that belonged to his family among the pile of jewelry. "I should suggest to my aunt not to buy diamonds next time..." Lionel was dizzy and dazed by the light coming in from the window. He made up his mind not to give diamonds to his family members in the future. Gems also shine, but gems have colors. These diamonds are not only the same color, but also the same size. There is no big difference in style. It really tortures people's eyes! "......That's it." Finally, all the jewelry in the catalog was found. Lionel and Mars were sweating profusely, and their eyes were blurry when they looked at things. "Okay, take these away." Mia said happily without even looking at the selected jewelry. Then he turned to Harry and said, "Don't put the rest back, just put it in the suitcase."Just as they were packing the it

"So she left you to handle this?" Lionel was speechless looking at the person with the familiar lower half of his face. What a mess! He came to talk to old lady Leamington. Who wants to talk to this brat... well, not a complete brat. He remembered that the information said that this girl would enter the social circle next year, which was half an adult. But the question is, shouldn't the old lady of Leamington, who is in charge of things, be the one to discuss this matter? Why did she change people halfway through? Where did she go? Or did this cunning old fox want to make something happen like her son, so she sent her great-granddaughter to perfunctorily deal with him and went to do bad things herself? Forgive him for those bad speculations about this lady. It's really impossible to ignore the past history of this family! Mia was also helpless, but it was a fact that the old lady of Leamington left before dawn. "The matter is urgent, so it can only be handled like this temporarily,

He had heard about the behavior of the Earl of Morris Leamington. A woman who could teach such a son must be guarded against! "You?" Old Lady Leamington was furious. She was not that bastard Morris who didn't keep his word. How dare this man doubt her? "Old Lady Kleinte should be waiting anxiously." Mia reminded Old Lady Leamington that their neighbors looked anxious, otherwise they wouldn't come to find someone at this time, so don't delay, "I will take care of things here." Although she didn't know what the problem was between the two people, it didn't matter. It had nothing to do with her anyway. She would just take someone to find the housekeeper to arrange a place for him to live, and that would be the end of the matter. There was no need to worry too much. "…….……Okay, you should rest early too, don't go to bed too late, it's not good for your skin." Seeing that things had come to a standstill here, Old Lady Leamington had to compromise again, frowning and leaving here to mee
