Chapter 1108 (1/2)

Obviously, lawyer Luke was surprised by Chen Ang's choice. He carefully observed Chen ang for a while before he said, ”of course, Mr. Constantine. This master key can open all the doors of this house...”

Chen ang didn't seem to respond. He still smiled and said, ”my request is abrupt!”

”But who will plot against this house?” lawyer Luke smiled. ”This house may have been very valuable before, but it's really old. We've lived here for more than four generations, and we don't have the money to maintain this big house, so it's dilapidated, and this is a rural town - it's really not worth much!”

Nick interrupted, ”but there must be many antiques in such an old house! That's a very valuable thing! So you can't give him this key...”

Lawyer Luke smiled: ”both of you are trustworthy people, and the 200000 inheritance can help us a lot - we plan to leave here after we get the inheritance. We are old! We need better medical and pension conditions. With that money, we plan to move to New Orleans.”

”Besides, we put all the antiques away and put them in a house in the attic. There is the only door in the house that can't be opened with a master key.”

Chen ang accepted the key impolitely and thanked: ”Thank you for your generosity. I really enjoyed talking with you. You are a knowledgeable person. You seem to have witnessed the changes of the history and times of this town. I am really interested in history. This house has a long history. It is like a gallery of time. Some styles and characteristics of the old times are well preserved here ... shall we visit it? ”

Lawyer Luke welcomed: ”after dinner, you can browse at will. It's too old! It's good for nothing but history!”

Several people leaned against the fireplace and chatted for a while. They had dinner in the restaurant. The dinner was chickpeas with mashed potatoes. It was a classic rural flavor. After dinner, lawyer Luke apologized: ”I'm used to sleeping after dinner. You know - the habit of countrymen. Our nightlife here is very boring. We usually go to bed early!”

Chen ang and Nick looked at each other and nodded to show their understanding - the separation between American cities and rural towns is very serious. International metropolises sing at night and have developed nightlife, but rural towns are simple and boring. Traditional Puritan living habits still dominate here. Although rural towns are also dominated by entertainment - all kinds of parties and entertainment for young people Happy life is no worse than in the city.

But the couple is really traditional - they are like the most conservative American Puritans.

Some hunchback hostesses took Chen ang to the guest room for them to rest. The room was on the second floor. When the door was opened, a faint musty smell floated out. The house was very large. Although there was some musty smell, it was still clean. Chen ang touched the desktop and there was no ash on it.

It's strange. It's a big house with thirty houses.

Chen ang also came suddenly - he came one afternoon earlier than Nick without any prior notice.

People living in large houses know that it is unrealistic to maintain the house for a long time. The kitchen without firing habits will fall ash. As long as it is not used a little, it will accumulate ash in the corners of their bedroom. This is still the room of young people, let alone two widowed middle-aged couples.

How can they have the energy to clean up more than 30 rooms? - it should be covered with white cloth everywhere and most unused rooms should be sealed up.

Chen ang put down his luggage and went to find Nick. Nick lived next door to him. As soon as he stepped in, he found that it was also very clean - musty, but there was no dust, even in the corner.

Nick didn't talk about Chen Ang's sudden calling him here, but just like chatting, he naturally took out some information about the owner of the house from Chen ang. Their words were clever and exchanged a lot of information. It was very natural. At the same time, he didn't disclose a word about his identity.

Enough for eavesdroppers to know nothing.

”There are many portraits and sculptures of religious symbols, including the virgin, the son and some biblical characters.” Nick joked, ”you should be very interested!”

”I'm more curious...” Chen ang pointed to something hanging on the top of Nick's big bed and opposite the ceiling. It was a doll with eyes sewn with buttons and about the size of someone's palm. Other organs of the doll's face - nose and mouth were painted with a paintbrush as clumsy as graffiti.
