Miller spread his hands and said, "This happened a year ago, but now not only have I not paid back the interest, but the money I owe him has also changed from 34 pounds to 58 pounds. God is my witness, I can only borrow money from him."

Just pay once."

"Maybe even God owes him money."

Vanessa led the postman Miller into the room and said jokingly, "It's okay now. As far as I know, Mr. Reno won't be back in a short time, and Uncle Miller can take a breath."

"This is really today, no, this is really the best news I've heard this year."

Miller hung his raincoat on the hook hanging from the top of the corridor outside the door. After walking into the room, he was allowed to sit on the sofa by the fireplace. Then he took out an envelope from his arms and said, "Vanessa, before you

Before you bring me hot tea, let me finish my postman's job. This is a letter from your sister Heidi to Mr. Renault from Spain. Speaking of which, is she in Spain now?"

"In France"

Vanessa took the letter and said with a normal expression, "Our place has been occupied by the Germans. All letters must be sent to Spain first and then to the UK."

“So that’s how it is”

Miller nodded in realization, and asked before Wei Ran brought him the black tea, "Isn't Heidi here?"

"Come here, she will be here soon. We are not taking the same route. Victor and I set off from Paris."

Vanessa clutched the letter and explained, "She will set off after I arrive safely. I guess this letter is asking me if I have arrived here."

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "So that's it." Before Miller finished speaking, Wei Ran also placed the tea cup in front of him.

After seeing off the postman with a cup of tea, half an hour of chatting, and a temporary extra lunch table, Vanessa couldn't wait for Wei Ran, who was walking behind, to close the door, and couldn't wait to tear open the envelope and take it out.

There was an envelope inside, and then he tore open the second envelope and pulled out a piece of letter paper.

"What did Heidi say in the letter?" Wei Ran bent down and picked up the second envelope as he spoke.

Unfortunately, there is no information written on this envelope.

However, when he raised his head, he found that Vanessa had handed the letter in her hand to Wei Ran, "I can't understand it, it seems to be in Hebrew."

Curiously, Wei Ran took the letter and frowned after reading just the beginning. In the upper right corner of the letter, there was a photo fixed with a stapler. In this photo, he was taken sitting down.

Heidi seemed to be looking at the scenery by the window.

And judging from the photos, the layout inside seems to be that of the room that belonged to Spier before Castle Philip. Whether intentionally or unintentionally, there is a folded newspaper seemingly casually discarded on the table in front of Heidi.

The newspaper was published on September 15, 1940! It was the day after they escaped from Saint-Omer to Chateau Philippe!

"What's wrong?" Vanessa looked at Wei Ran and asked.

"Nothing," Wei Ran responded in a muffled voice, and then continued reading.

Judging from the tone between the lines, this letter was definitely not written by Heidi, but more like that written by Spear.

But the content expressed in this letter written in Hebrew is particularly dark. That scumbag Spear is actually planning to use Heidi sisters to pay off the debts he owes!

Not only that, he also agreed with Renault that if the other party agreed to the transaction, he could rush to a hotel in Edinburgh to conduct the transaction any day between October 1st and 7th.

As for Spear's purpose, in addition to paying off his debts, he also hoped to buy the farm at a low enough price.

"What is nothing?" Vanessa asked with a frown.

"I'm just praying that Mr. Renault will pay back later. After all, he doesn't accept French ration coupons, and Heidi hopes to buy this farm." Wei Ran replied with a normal expression, "The letter is that she escaped to Philip's house after we escaped.

Written on the second day of the fort.”

"But my sister doesn't speak Hebrew," Vanessa asked.

"It's true that your sister can't do it, but Spier can." Wei Ran said as he folded the letter paper according to the original mark and stuffed it back into the envelope.

"I can't trust that bastard Spear!"

Before she finished speaking, she had already taken the envelope and headed towards the stairs, "Victor, if you are tired, you can take a rest. I am going to go upstairs and wipe the furniture and stair railings. I will wait until you have rested enough. If you want, you can

Go upstairs and help me."

"I'm going to help you now." Wei Ran followed him as he spoke.

Vanessa did not refuse, and she and Wei Ran spent the entire afternoon wiping the windows, tables, chairs, floors, stair railings, etc. in each room more than once. By the way, she also asked Wei Ran for help to clean up the leaks.

All the windows have been repaired.

Taking advantage of the opportunity to clean the room, the two discovered two locked safes hidden in a cabinet in an inconspicuous utility room on the third floor.

With the help of Wei Ran, he opened the two safes that had never appeared in Vanessa's memory. Not surprisingly, one of them contained various IOUs and mortgage certificates, including one belonging to the postman Mi

Le's share.

In another safe, there were several stacks of pounds with varying denominations, as well as various valuable gold products or various jewelry, watches and other valuables. He even put it in a coffee cup tray.

Saw some gold teeth!

"Mr. Renault's business is really profitable."

Vanessa mocked but turned around and left, seemingly not caring how Wei Ran distributed the property.

Vanessa doesn't care, so naturally he doesn't care even less. Even if these things are given to him, he can't bring them back to future generations.

He also ignored the two safes. After checking the window of the utility room, Wei Ran turned around and left, but he didn't even bother to close the door of the safe.

Towards evening, when the two of them had taken a bath and cleaned the bathroom, the sky outside the window finally cleared up, revealing a beautiful fiery red sunset.

"Ah sneeze!"

Vanessa, who was wiping her short hair, sneezed involuntarily, and then said to Wei Ran, who was admiring the sunset by the window, "Victor, how about you light the fireplace? I'll prepare dinner."

"Of course." Wei Ran came to his senses, opened the door and walked out.

Not long after, he used a small cart to push back most of the cart of dried peat blocks and pre-chopped firewood from the barn.

According to what he said when chatting with Vanessa before, these peat blocks were dug from around the swamp in the oak forest where corpses were dumped, and were used both as fertilizer for the farm and for burning for heating.

It is precisely because of years of excavation that the terrain there is getting lower and lower, and the water accumulation is getting more and more serious, so naturally it is becoming more and more suitable for dumping corpses.

When he lit the firewood and ignited the pieces of dried peat placed around, as the temperature in the room rose little by little, Vanessa also prepared a large pot of French stew that had been cooked in advance.

He put it on the table and took out two large bottles of whiskey and said, "Let's try this tonight!"

"Where did you find it?" Wei Ran walked to the dining table and asked curiously.

"in the barn"

Vanessa explained while wiping the wine bottle with a towel she had just washed, "I found it in those boxes filled with various daily necessities. Anyway, let's have a drink tonight!"

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! As she spoke, the girl had already opened the wine bottle with a corkscrew.

However, the girl then took out a small jar of honey from the kitchen, scooped two spoons out of it and threw it into their cups, then poured some hot water into it and stirred it.

Next, she poured some whiskey into the two glasses, and Vanessa threw a small piece of cinnamon into each of their glasses. Then she picked up a glass and said, "Try it, it's my first time drinking."

This is it, it can be used to prevent colds, and it is a very practical bartender in a hellish place like Liverpool."

"Is this what your grandfather taught you?" Wei Ran picked up the cup as he spoke, reached over to touch it with the other person, and also looked at the food on the table.

This time it was extraordinarily rich. In addition to the French stew and the baguette baked in the morning, there was also a vegetable salad and a French mushroom soup, plus there were so many cans of American sausages that almost filled the kitchen.

slice.

"It was my sister Heidi who taught me. She learned it from my grandmother. Since I was 12 years old, I can always drink this stuff every time it's cold, whether in France or England." Vanessa

Before he finished speaking, he put the cup to his mouth, and before drinking the wine in the cup, he finally said, "This is the only British food that barely satisfies me, if it can be considered food."

Hearing this, Wei Ran also tried to take a sip. In addition to the taste of the whiskey itself, he could also taste the sweetness of the mixture of cinnamon and honey, as well as the slightly scalding taste of the hot water.

Overall, the taste cannot be said to be good or bad, but it fits his stereotype of British food very well.

Although the taste was not high, he had to admit that just one glass of wine made him sweat all over his body.

"Want another drink?"

Vanessa said, having already dug out another large spoonful of honey from the honey jar with a spoon, and threw it into Wei Ran's cup before he could give the answer.

Seeing that there was no chance to refuse, Wei Ran, who had already finished a bottle of whiskey with the other party, nodded happily and allowed the other party to help him pour hot water and whiskey again.

Before eating, Wei Ran drank three large glasses of wine in a row. Wei Ran, who was already hot and sweating profusely, had already noticed that Vanessa, who was sitting opposite, probably planned to get him drunk.

"Could it be another French woman's romance?"

Wei Ran muttered secretly, but he didn't refuse anyone who came. Anyway, he also planned to get the other party drunk.

As we drank a glass of wine, the sky outside the window also fell into darkness as the setting sun was completely blocked by the horizon. At the same time, the power supply, which was not very stable during the day, was cut off due to the blackout.

The sudden power outage was like a signal. One of the two people who were still drinking lit the candle on the table, and the other held up his skirt, staggered to the window, and turned on the heavy light control.

curtain.

"Let's keep drinking," Wei Yan said after adding two more pieces of peat to the fireplace.

"Of course, we have to drink both bottles of whiskey tonight!"

Before Vanessa finished speaking, she had already filled their glasses with brown wine. This time, let alone honey, she didn't even add water.

Picking up the cup and clinking it with the other person, Wei Ran took a big sip, Vanessa also took a big sip, then they each picked up their spoons and put a big spoonful of stew into their mouths.

This can be considered a candlelight dinner... Wei Ran muttered secretly, drinking one cup after another while chatting with Vanessa, and by the way, he also filled his stomach with the food on the table that was definitely sumptuous at this time.
