He wanted to be calm, but when he saw her like this, Joe Wright’s anger was aroused again, and he did not have the patience to reason with her, and asked directly in a cold voice: “What did I say before we left?
At that time, he threw down this sentence with a grim face, scared Eva Taylor did not dare to say back, naturally impressed.
“It’s not dark yet, if you don’t want to go in you can stand here and wait, when the bus returns, you go back with it!”
Shoving his backpack into her hand, Joe Wright turned sharply and entered the door.
After a long time, Emma Rosy saw her squatting in the corner alone, and then persuaded her to go back to her room in a good manner.
After nightfall, the overhead light bulb became dimmer and dimmer, so Emma Rosy turned on the flashlight of her cell phone and lay on her bed to look at the route to the village tomorrow.
She had just found a wood with a strong possibility from the map when a sudden scream came from outside.
“AHHH!!!”
By the sound of it, it seemed to be Eva Taylor!
Her heart jumped and she hurriedly opened the door and ran out, only to see Eva Taylor standing outside the next room with a pair of cartoon sandals that didn’t match the concrete floor, clutching a towel and a nightgown in her hand, and waving frantically.
“Help! Joe WrightEmma, hurry up and help me!!!”
“What’s going on?” Joe Wright almost got his foot stepped on by Eva Taylor as he moved closer to check out the situation.
“The bugs-”
“Ah!!!”
Like a cat whose tail has been stepped on, Eva Taylor jumped up, panicked and ran to the side, and finally hid behind Emma Rosy, clinging to her like a lifeline.
Although she is not afraid of insects, Emma Rosy understands this feeling, and is trying to hug Eva Taylor to comfort her, when her eyes turn, suddenly found a tall figure hidden in the crowd.
Joe Wright saw Emma Rosy staring behind him, subconsciously also looked back, only a glance, then noticed the difference.
“Is that him?” Emma Rosy asked, lowering her voice.
“Yes!”
Joe Wright bellowed and sprinted in that direction, followed by Emma Rosy, while Paul Johnson in the corner pushed past the tenant who was blocking the stairway and stumbled towards the stairs.
It took nearly half an hour for They to return side by side.
The tenants had gone back to bed, and the hallway was quiet, except for Eva Taylor, who was crouched against the wall with her arms wrapped around her, looking like she was crying.
“You guys still know to come back?”
Upon seeing They, Eva Taylor’s aggravation was instantly replaced by annoyance.
Afraid of her misunderstanding, Emma Rosy hurriedly went forward to help her up and sincerely explained, “Sorry Eva , we found an enemy, we haven’t seen him for two years, he suddenly showed up in this guest house, there might be a plot again, so …”
“Who?” Eva Taylor drew her hand and scowled at her with an unkind face.
Emma Rosy answered truthfully, “Marisa Miller’s men, a man named Paul Johnson, your brother should know him.”
Eva Taylor had indeed heard Charles Taylor mention this man, and it seemed that he was involved in the car accident and explosion that had caused Alex Brown’ injuries in the first place, as well as several incidents of injury concerning Emma Rosy. But that’s no reason for them to leave her behind!
“Did you catch up with someone?” She asked without a smile.
She looked like she wouldn’t give up. Emma Rosy was helpless and shook her head, “No. It was too dark and he was alert, so we …”
“Then why talk about these useless?” Eva Taylor interrupted with a frown: “The man did not catch up, but left me in this hellish place, I think you are colluding, deliberately screw me!”
Joe Wright finally lost his anger, pulled Emma Rosy behind him and tried to teach her a lesson.
Before he could say anything, the owner of the guest house came upstairs with the village clerk.
Emma Rosy and Joe Wright did not catch up with Paul Johnson, but their suspicion was not diminished, so they asked the owner of the hotel for information about Paul Johnson’s stay.
Once the owner heard about Paul Johnson’s bad deeds, he was so shocked that he ran straight to the village clerk to report, and after They of them combined, they decided to come to the scene to deal with it personally.
Only after the leader’s authorization, the boss fetched a spare key and opened the door to Paul Johnson’s room.
The layout of the room was similar to other rooms, a bed, a set of table and chairs, a dull yellow light bulb overhead, a low cabinet leaning against the corner, and nothing else, clean as if no one had lived there.
Emma Rosy and Joe Wright looked at each other, thinking that after two years, Paul Johnson was still so mysterious, leaving no trace of his actions.
But why did he come to the guest house, or to this mountain village? Why didn’t Marisa Darcyshow up, did They go their separate ways, or was there another conspiracy?
“When did he check in, and was he accompanied by anyone?” Joe Wright asked boss.
After a moment of recollection, the boss said with certainty, “Yesterday morning! I saw that he had trouble with his legs, and asked him if he wanted to send food up.”
Legs?
When chasing the man, Paul Johnson’s speed and sensitivity were not as good as before, but he should have observed the terrain when he came, so he escaped without any problems.
Emma Rosy asked again, “Did he say what he was doing here?”
The locals are warm and welcoming, and always talk a bit when they meet a new face. The boss quickly nodded: “I think he’s looking for some … professor, I didn’t quite catch it.”
Paul Johnson does not like to communicate with people, the boss is older and used to hearing the local accent, did not hear clearly also makes sense. I just hope Paul Johnson’s trip has nothing to do with them.
Emma Rosy said thank you, ready to discuss the matter with Joe Wright later, to ask his thoughts.
Eva Taylor always watched They men’s every move, and her heart was full of sourness, feeling that she was a redundant person, completely treated as air.
The words of Emma Rosy on the bus during the day were still ringing in her ears, and although she was upset with Emma Rosy at the moment, she knew what was best for her. So she reluctantly moved over to the crowd and whispered her apologies.
“I’m sorry.”
