Chapter 625: Halloween
"Are you really sure that someone will come tonight? If you are so vicious, your little friends will come to find you?" While hanging a freshly made pumpkin lantern on the door, Bernice looked at Jiang Hai strangely and asked, A few days ago, Jiang Hai had said that some friends would come over to ask for sweets tonight, but Bernice had always been in a state of doubt.
Because Jiang Hai's reputation in the town is really not very good, and the most important thing is that Jiang Hai is really too far away from the town.
If you drive, drive slowly for half an hour. If you walk, it won't last more than an hour. Will your little one walk for more than an hour to get candy? Even if they were willing, their parents wouldn't be willing.
"Should, maybe, probably, almost, someone will come." After hearing what Bernice said, Jiang Hai touched his nose in embarrassment. To be honest, he was just doing it on a whim, but whether someone would come, in his heart There is no bottom either.
"What the kid said means you believe it. Okay, hang up. I hope someone will come, but I'll take a picture of the circle of friends first." After hearing Jiang Hai's slightly embarrassing words, Bernice looked at him with contempt. He glanced at it, then hung up the last jack-o-lantern with a smile. After jumping down, he took a photo of the jack-o'-lantern, and then laughed happily.
"Okay, no one is coming, let's just celebrate the festival by ourselves." Jiang Hai touched his nose and smiled.
Hearing what Jiang Hai said, Darlene, Marianne, and Xiaoya all laughed. After everything was arranged, Jiang Hai and the other five returned to the villa, because it was indeed... They were very busy, and Aphra and the others hadn't come over for a while. Jiang Hai and the other five were just sitting on the sofa, watching TV casually.
It is different from July 15th in China. Although it is also a ghost festival, no one will go to this festival on July 15th in China.
At most, I just go to a cemetery or a crossroad to burn some paper, that's all.
But in the United States, Halloween is still a very popular holiday. Not only people celebrate it, but there are also movies about ghosts and monsters on TV.
Basically all the TV stations today are showing films, movies or TV series about ghosts and monsters.
This can be considered quite suitable for the occasion, just like in China, New Year movies are always shown during the Chinese New Year.
Jiang Hai actually didn't know much about American horror movies. He had only seen those few movies before.
Alien, Resident Evil, A Nightmare on Elm Street, etc. Especially watching A Nightmare on Elm Street is entirely because a long time ago, there was a popular way of writing novels in China called Infinite Flow. It became very popular after it came out, because it followed the trend, so Many people wrote about this, and Jiang Hai finally noticed the existence of A Nightmare on Elm Street. After looking at it, he found that it was indeed quite deceptive.
However, although Jiang Hai said that he was not afraid of anything, he was a little bit panicked about ghost movies, so he sat on the sofa and played TV casually, hoping to watch some movies that were not so scary. No one would know. Jiang Hai actually likes watching comedies the most, and this is considered his hobby.
But maybe the TV station didn't like him today. They didn't show comedies, they were basically ghost movies. After watching it for a while, he actually saw a pair of long legs on a paid channel. This sight made Jiang Hai I was stunned for a moment, and then it was broadcast to this station.
"Is this a Chinese movie? It seems to be old." Looking at the movie on the projection TV, Bernice here said with some confusion while eating chocolate. After hearing her words, Jiang Hai couldn't help but look at her with contempt.
"Don't say you haven't seen this movie, it's quite popular." Pointing to the long-legged movie on the TV in front of him, Jiang Hai said seriously. After hearing Jiang Hai's words, Bernice blinked. Eyes, as if she really doesn't know.
"I know, I know this, this is A Chinese Ghost Story, and this is Wang Zuxian. Although he is not young, he is really good-looking." At this time, Xiaoya, who was sitting next to her, said with a smile.
"You haven't been in the United States since you were born. How could you not know about this movie?" Making a comrades gesture towards Xiaoya, Jiang Hai then said to Bernice, this movie was very popular in China at the time. .
Of course, Jiang Hai doesn't know the box office, but it has been replayed on TV quite a lot.
This movie was made in three parts. The first one was not very good to be honest, and the second one was too bloody.
The best part is the third step. The male lead is changed from Leslie Cheung to Tony Leung Chiu-wai, and the female lead is still the super invincible long-legged Wang Zuxian. Li Lianjie's current wife Li Zhi is also in it, exposing her very bluffing In addition to his career line, he also has long legs that are not too short to attract attention. To be honest, this third part is very beautiful and is always being replayed on TV.
The combination of Tony Leung Chiu-wai and Jacky Cheung is also extremely funny. This is a movie that is more funny than ghostly.
"I didn't want to watch movies when I was little." Giving Jiang Hai a blank look, Bernice sat there and started watching.
Jiang Hai didn't say much after hearing what she said, so he sat there and started watching. The movie had just started, and Jiang Hai was very happy to watch it. The most important thing was that the movie was dubbed in Mandarin. The version that Jiang Hai is most familiar with, although it has English subtitles, Darlene and Marianne probably weren't that happy watching it.
Just as Shifang in the movie turned into a golden Buddha and killed the Black Mountain old demon, the whole movie officially came to an end.
But at this moment, Jiang Hai's doorbell suddenly rang, startling the five people on the sofa.
"It's this time, who is it?" I glanced at the watch and saw that it was almost nine o'clock before I knew it. Shouldn't the children be almost asleep at this time? Why would anyone ring Jiang Hai's doorbell?
Although he was startled, Jiang Hai quickly calmed down, walked to the door, and turned on the video.
"Trick or treat if you don't give me candy!" When the video was connected, many children dressed in strange shapes shouted loudly.
"Look, they are finally here." But Jiang Hai couldn't help but grinned when he saw such a scene.
Originally, he thought that these children might not come tonight, but he did not expect that these children did not disappoint him. They grabbed the bowl of candy that was still in Bernice's arms. Jiang Hai He opened the door and walked out.
"Really, but Darlene, your dad seems to like children very much." Looking at Jiang Hai who was going out, Bernice here nudged Darlene beside her with the tip of her elbow and pointed towards her. said.
"That should be the case. Jiang is also very good to us." After hearing Bernice's words, Darlene thought for a moment and said.
In her eyes, Jiang Hai should be the best person in the world, the one who rescued them from the abyss of hell.
Judging from Jiang Hai's normal personality, although his reaction to naughty children is average, he seems to really like children.
"You have to work hard. Jiang loves children so much. It is very likely that the mistress of this family is the mother of Jiang Hai's first child. If you don't take action, it will be too late." At this time, Marianne also poked her head. Come over and look at Bernice and say.
"Who, who is going to give birth to a child for him? Don't talk nonsense. What do children know?" After hearing what these two people said, Bernice's face suddenly turned red, and then she was a little flustered and wanted to take something. He tried to eat something, but ended up feeling empty because Jiang Hai had already taken away the snack plate. Seeing her sister in a panic, Xiaoya looked a little worried.
At this time, Jiang Hai had already walked out of his villa. Looking at the children outside the door dressed as skeletons, wizards, ghosts, vampires, witches, etc., Jiang Hai came to the door in three steps and two steps at a time. forward.
"The candy is here, eat it quickly!" After opening the door and looking at the children in front of him, Jiang Hai directly handed over the plate and said to them. After hearing Jiang Hai's words, the children also cheered and started to grab them. Eat the candy.
"Hey, Jiang Hai really didn't expect that you have a childlike innocence." At this moment, a voice said to Jiang Hai. When Jiang Hai looked up, he found that in addition to these children, there were two adults here. , one of them was Mayor Wallis, and there was a black man driving a pickup truck. When he saw Jiang Hai looking over, he couldn't help but nodded shyly.
"Why are you here? Hello..." Seeing these two people, Jiang Hai also walked over and said with some curiosity. His first sentence was naturally addressed to Mayor Wallis, and his second sentence He said it to the black man.
"Hello, Mr. Jiang Hai." Hearing Jiang Hai's active greeting, the black man was caught off guard. He immediately stretched out his hands and shook hands with Jiang Hai. After Jiang Hai also shook hands with him, he felt a little strange. Looking at Mayor Wallis.
"Do you think the parents in this town will allow their children to walk for more than an hour at night to come to you to ask for candy?" Mayor Wallis rolled his eyes at Jiang Hai and couldn't help but said to him. After Mayor Lis' words, Jiang Hai rubbed the back of his head in embarrassment, which was why he thought no one would come tonight.
"It's indeed too far." He glanced at the surroundings of his manor and saw that it was pitch black, which was indeed not very safe.
"It's one thing that it's too far away..." After hearing Jiang Hai's words, Mayor Wallis nodded, shook his head, and continued: "The other thing is that you have not really integrated into Wensi now. Among Luopu."
Looking at Jiang Hai, Mayor Wallis said with a serious face. After hearing his words, Jiang Hai was a little confused.
"You have indeed made a great contribution to Winthrop, but I can confirm that you know less than twenty people in Winthrop. You must know that there are thousands of people in our town." Looking at Jiang "Hai," Mayor Wallis said seriously. After hearing his words, Jiang Hai calculated it. It seemed that it was probably, maybe, it was really close. In addition to his own employees, could he know twenty of them? (To be continued.)
