Chapter 58 Circus

"Everyone, get on the car."Younis stood in front of the hearse, gesturing for everyone to come aboard.Mina, Rent, Chris, and Sarah, each time they got on the car, Younis would lend a hand."Thank you, teacher.""Thank you, teacher."Younis also got on the hearse, closed the door, and pulled the handle. When she looked for a place to sit, she found that a row was already occupied by the four children, leaving the entire opposite row empty for herself."Don't you mind the crowding?"Everyone replied in unison, "Teacher, we don't mind the crowding."

"Do you want someone to come and sit with me here?"No one spoke.Even Mina, who was usually the most sensible, seemed a bit shy at this moment.There was no way around it, what kind of experience was it to suddenly have your math teacher become your future sister-in-law?Of course, it was shyness on top of shyness, completely losing the previous encouragement she had for her brother."Well then."Eunice could only sit alone on the opposite side, in front of her was a rectangular pit with a barbecue grill, charcoal, and skewered vegetables, as well as various meats that had been marinated the night before.Karen sat in the driver's seat and started the hearse. She glanced through the rearview mirror and said, "Mina, go sit with your sister."Mina blinked and could only smile, "Okay, brother. Teacher, I'm coming."

Yunis reached out and helped Mina jump over. After Mina sat next to her, Yunis held Mina's small hand in hers.Mina had a smile on her face, similar to the one she had when receiving an award, elegant, dignified, and a little stiff.Lunt, Chris, and Sarah, who were sitting across from them, had a look of schadenfreude."Everyone sit properly, don't run around, if you need something, tell me first, understood?""Understood, brother.""Understood, Karen."Karen started the hearse and headed towards a farm in the suburbs.Last time when Mrs. Janie came to their house, it seemed like she had a very pleasant conversation with Dis. In short, Mrs. Janie's enthusiasm towards him had reached a new level.Karen even felt that if he had held Yunis' hand and said, "It's too late and it's raining, why don't you stay here tonight?"Mrs. Janie would most likely agree.

Although Karen couldn't imagine the scene of "harmonious" and "enthusiastic" communication between Dias, the results were very good.Moreover, Karen was aware that the day she would leave for Vienna was getting closer and closer, and what she couldn't bear the most was her family.So during these days, he tried his best to make the lunch more abundant, and patiently taught his aunt and aunt the tricks of making Chinese food.For these younger siblings who usually have to go to school, Karen chooses to take them out for a barbecue on weekends.If they are destined to be apart for a while, at least let each other have more cherished memories.But Karen didn't think this separation would be too long;Dias is dealing with something very important at the moment, and the aftermath of this matter will be huge, but Karen believes that Dias can handle it perfectly.Because... he is Dias.Moreover, Dias gave himself a choice, either to stay at home and be an ordinary person, or to give himself a chance to go outside and breathe the free air.So, the family should be able to continue living peacefully in Luo Jia City, and after going to Vienna, Karen can start to touch the "taboo" that belonged to his grandfather but couldn't be touched at home.

Karen actually knows in his heart that although he has always thought of himself as an ordinary person, the special abilities he possesses are objectively present.In Pu'er's words, this is the manifestation of the power of the evil god;But Karen firmly believes that he has no connection with those "gods", and as for the ability to make the dead sit up, does it mean a kind of...talent?A talent that is overflowing due to his "special experiences"?Pu'er once said a possibility that was immediately denied by itself, unless he was originally a person who had died and come back to life, born with the ability to "empathize" with the "dead";And in the early myth of the Order of the Gods, it was recorded that the God of Light awakened the God of Order, even though the current book "Light of Order" has been modified and deleted the role of the God of Light, it still retains the record of the God of Order "awakening".The God of Order has no childhood, unlike other true gods who have stories from their childhood. He seems to have suddenly appeared in this world and immediately stood at a high position.The Order of the Gods was founded by the God of Order and has undergone more than a millennium of development, and must have had more filling, enrichment, and improvement. But the standard ability of the judge is to "awaken" the corpse;It can also be said that the foundation of the "arts" under the belief of the Order of the Gods, the most primitive line, must have been set and left by the God of Order himself, and it must be the most suitable "ability" for the God of Order himself.What "chosen one" what "son of destiny" what "evil god descends",

Karen is not recognized;He is still an ordinary person,Someone who may have similarities with the god of order in some way, making him a more suitable person for the belief system of the Order of the Gods.To embark on this path, the threshold is purification.In Luo Jia City, at the Inmoleis family, he will not have this opportunity, and Dias will not give him this opportunity either.To go to Vayne,Only by reaching Vayne can he truly experience and enter the true wonders of this world."There is water in the bag." Karen reminded, "Whoever is thirsty can take a drink, and there is also juice.""Is anyone thirsty?" Eunice asked on behalf of the children.The children all shook their heads.

The hearse drove into the suburbs, and the road conditions began to deteriorate. Fortunately, the car was spacious and today was a rare sunny day after continuous rain, so the air was fresh and the outside looked like it had just been washed, giving a comfortable feeling."There's a circus over there," Rent exclaimed.Karen turned her head to look and saw a big tent set up by a circus, with many smaller tents outside. However, the two seemed to be unrelated.If the circus was going to perform here, it would definitely attract a lot of people, so some small vendors would also come to do business, especially the Chaser people, who liked to follow the crowd.After all, the three main professions of this group: fortune-telling, theft, and p**********n, could only find suitable clients in places with a lot of people."It doesn't look like it's fully set up yet. Even if there is a show, it should be in the evening. We can come and see it then," Karen said."Yay!" Rent shouted, pumping his fist, and Mina and the others were also very happy.Children have always been unable to resist the performances of the circus.The picnic spot chosen by Karen was only about five or six kilometers away from the circus site, by a small river. Although it was winter, the scenery here was still exquisite.Compared to the other direction of the suburbs, which was surrounded by factories and turned into industrial areas, this direction of the suburbs seemed to be developing towards a future residential area. Many wealthy families from Luo Jia City had built mansions here.

Alfred had been waiting here for a long time. This place strictly belongs to a baron's private property, although not much development has been done, it is still necessary to inform in advance if one wants to come and play.In addition, in order to let his young master play in peace, Alfred had to come early to clear the area.Karen parked the car on the side of the road and took a look at the small road. In the end, she drove a little further down the slope and made way for the small road.There was a middle-aged man next to Alfred, not very tall but with a sense of superiority on his face."Alfred, your friend's ride is really high-end. If I'm not mistaken, this is a hearse, right? Hahaha, could it be that he's bringing a group of corpses for a picnic? How interesting.""Hahaha!"Alfred also laughed and then reached out to grab the man's hair and pressed it down hard. The man's face was buried in the fresh horse manure from his chestnut-colored beloved horse.

"Listen, he is my master. Today, I don't want to ruin my master's mood. Otherwise, I will twist off your head and throw it directly into the river to feed the fish.Don't forget who helped your family pay off their debts, who helped you smooth things over and get you, a financial fraudster, released from prison.I can make you look like a respectable person, but I can also turn you back into a dog!"After saying this, Alfred let go and walked to the river, taking out a bar of soap and starting to wash his hands carefully.The Baron looked up, a bit afraid, at Alfred."Get lost!""Yes, yes, yes." The Baron quickly got on his horse and rode away.Karen walked over and asked, "What happened?"Alfred replied, "He said Miss Eunice is very beautiful.""Hmm? Isn't that the truth?"

"It's true, but he has no right to say this in front of me. You and the women around you are all sacred and great in my heart. I will not allow any blasphemy.""Hmm."Karen turned around and waved to Eunice to come over with the children.The barbecue grill was set up and the charcoal was ready. Alfred was grilling the meat instead of Karen. Minalunte and the others were all gathered around Alfred, waiting to eat.Karen and Eunice sat on a slope a little further away, where they could see the shimmering waves on the river."Is your yard also like this?" Karen asked."Yes, it's just as beautiful as here.""What about the buildings?" Karen asked."There's a four-story main house where the family and servants live. There's a theater on the east side and an old castle on the west side, which belongs to the ancestral home. It's usually only used for ceremonial activities and not inhabited.""And there's a theater too?"

"Yes, my father told me that a hundred years ago, my great-grandmother loved watching operas, but she didn't like going to the opera house in the city. So she had a theater built in her home and would specially invite opera troupes to perform there." "That's extravagant," Karen said. "But could that great-grandmother be Pu'er?" Looking at it, even if it turned into a cat and ate squirrel and mandarin fish, it still had to be accompanied by a cup of coffee. She must have been someone who would do such things. "Yes, but now even though it's still cleaned, in my memory, it's rarely used." "Hmm." Karen leaned back slightly, her hands supporting her behind her, trying to make herself more comfortable. "I've never lived in such a big house before, so I'm a little excited." "Actually, there's only one room for sleeping, it's not that big, there's not much difference." "In the future, when you get tired of living here, we can move to York City, or back to Rui Lan, or even back to Ming Ke Street."

"We are still young now, but in the future we will be able to make our own decisions, right?"The demands given by my grandfather, father, and mother are for me to return to Wayne with Karen, which is something I cannot change and Karen has accepted.But I know that a man living in the woman's house will definitely have some reservations in his heart.I cannot change it, I can only comfort myself.When in a relationship, one should tidy themselves up a bit and, without deceiving, show their best and even add a bit of performance to impress the other person, just like a gorilla picking up a few dry leaves and beating their chest while calling out during mating season.And when the relationship is established, it is time to gradually reveal one's true self.For example, being good at cooking, having fun, being thrifty or spending money freely, and of course, being a bit promiscuous is not a flaw.Just like when Karen suggested a picnic this time, he drove a hearse because there were many people and other cars were not convenient, and the hearse happened to be spacious enough to fit everyone.He doesn't mind showing his "hearse fetish" in front of me, because his family runs a funeral home, and he may not be able to hold his own in front of true "nobles," but there's no need to hide it.He also doesn't mind showing his desire to live in a "grand estate" in front of me, because he has lived two lives and has never experienced it, and he really wants to try it out.

During the period of establishing a relationship leading to marriage, it is a stage of emotional adjustment. At this time, it is important to show your true self and see if the other person can adapt and tolerate it. Of course, this is not about being careless. If there are existing flaws that cannot be tolerated, you can say "I will change in the future."Otherwise, if you always hide and pretend, once it is exposed after marriage, it will cause major problems due to lack of preparation and cushioning. On the other hand, even if you keep pretending, the married life will not be comfortable.Fortunately, Eunice does not have the bad habits of a spoiled princess. She is very smart, extremely smart. Although she may seem immature in terms of emotions due to her past blank experiences, she learns quickly.Sometimes, as the "master of rhythm control," Karen can clearly perceive Eunice consciously cooperating with her rhythm. This love affair is like a spotlight, with a top-notch sea king and a seasoned green tea dancing tango. It's just that no one had time to have a "scum" past."In this lifetime, we must experience what we should experience." Karen looked at Eunice, "Do you have any thoughts about the future?""Now?""I mean, if I hadn't appeared, what were your original thoughts?"

"But you have already appeared," Eunice said.This is not a love confession, Karen could tell the meaning behind it. Even without her, there would be someone else. But if she said it directly, it would ruin the atmosphere.Although they were a marriage of convenience, they had always pretended to be destined for each other.Eunice's father was not the eldest son in the family, so he was not originally the first in line to inherit the family business. That's why he was able to have a free love and marry Lady Jenny, a woman who didn't belong to that circle.But later, there were some unexpected events and Eunice's two older brothers were unable to inherit the family business, so her father became the head of the family.And in Eunice's generation, her marriage could not be free."What about your other thoughts, interests and hobbies?" Karen asked. "In terms of art? Traveling, painting, and such?""If it's those things, we can still continue in the future, right? Besides, I think if we focus too much on our goals, life will become very tiring."Karen smiled slightly and said, "You do have a broad perspective.""What about you, Karen? What did you originally want to do?" Eunice added with a smile. "Before you met me."

Karen's face showed a pensive expression;In her previous life, she had been constantly studying and working hard since she became an adult. Her life was like a gear, constantly pushing herself to keep turning;It was tiring, but she didn't feel it was hard, because in this state of being a gear, she could feel a certain sense of pleasure.But in this life..."I originally wanted to go to college, choose a major, find a decent job after graduation, save some money, and then invest, so I could achieve financial freedom in this stage of my life.""And then?""And then... I haven't thought about it.""Shouldn't you be looking for a girlfriend you like and building a happy family?"Karen hesitated for a moment, then shook her head;"Have you never thought about it?" Eunice looked at Karen curiously, "My two brothers used to discuss with me at home about what kind of sister-in-law they would find for me in the future."

"I never thought about it, maybe it's because I haven't reached the same level as your brother yet?" Eunice propped her chin on her hand and murmured, "But I feel like it might be because you have a mature mindset?" Karen changed the subject directly, "Why, do you also like studying psychology?" "I've read some books on the subject, I wouldn't say I'm studying it, but I find observing and analyzing people very interesting, like observing you." "Observing me? Did you gain anything from it?" "The only thing I gained is that I feel like you've already figured me out a long time ago." "Hahaha..." Both of them laughed.

Mina walked over to her brother with a skewer of meat in her hand.Karen smiled and naturally reached out to touch Eunice's hair, and Eunice naturally rested her head on Karen's lap.Mina walked back with another skewer of meat.The two of them stayed in this position for a long time....In the evening, the hearse arrived at the circus camp, where there were many people. Fortunately, there was plenty of space for parking.After getting off the car, Karen led everyone to the big tent of the circus. Along the way, many vendors were selling various goods.Alfred walked at the back, making sure the children wouldn't get lost in the crowd.Outside a small tent belonging to the Chaser people, a husband was selling divination props, with a sign saying they were blessed by a certain god of a certain religion.Business was not good, so his eyes kept scanning the crowd, looking for a target with a low guard to see if he could steal their wallet.

Unfortunately, perhaps it's because in recent years, my fellow people have been too ruthless in similar activities, so even though the visitors watching the circus have smiles on their faces, they are all very cautious.But fortunately, his wife has already received a business deal inside the tent.Inside the small tent:"You don't have to move, I'll just lie down for a while.""Okay, sir, you are so kind." The woman smiled as she held a coin, "Are you looking for a sense of home?""I am looking for the feeling of my childhood," Rasmar replied."Then that is the feeling of home," the woman insisted."Yes, you're right." Rasmar nodded, then a smile appeared on his face, "My mother did the same job as you, she supported me when I was young."The woman silently placed a bill next to Rasmar's head."What does this mean?" Rasmar asked.

"The guests who come home will of course receive discounts; shh, don't let my husband know, but it doesn't matter, you already gave more, he won't notice anyway.""I don't have a father." Rasma said.If her father hadn't passed away when she was still a baby, her mother wouldn't have had to struggle so hard to raise her.The woman licked her lips and leaned in close to Rasma's ear, whispering:"Actually, I also wish I didn't have a husband.""Hehehe, is this considered a prayer?" Rasma asked.The woman shrugged and laughed, "Will God hear it?"Rasma replied, "Yes."After saying that,Rasma closed her eyes and placed her hands on her stomach.

The woman saw this and moved away, not wanting to disturb the "wanderer" resting.Lasma's world once again turned gray and white."Hmm?Tsk tsk tsk, there's a little demon with a charm eye, his eyes would make a delicate pendant.Huh?There's more than just him.Hehe,The owner of this circus is actually a bewitching demon.""Why is it taking so long, is it not over yet? You'll have to pay extra for overtime." The husband lifted the curtain and entered the small tent.Lasma slowly sat up.

Smiling, she said, "It's over." Her husband fell to the ground and died.
