[恐怖小说]The Visitation(9)

That was how we got access from uncle Marvin. When we got out from "Sunset Tranquil" , both my parents breathed a sigh of relief.
Everything, as my uncle had said, was fine and comfortable. Yet those words he said about that shed disturbed my heart, as time went by, I found my parents' mind was no difference than mine. Field's grass was fresh and green, wheats and corns cultivated by my uncle was tall and strong, yet our topic within conversations weren't beautiful sceneries, rather than the secret my uncle had hide in that shed. "He must hide his fortune inside.", "Might be those precious antiques he bought from India, I knew it.", "Could be gems from Africa?" Guessing games after every meal became a routine in our daily schedule.

Finally, that day had come for us to pay that mystery a discovery. Our Marvin paid us a visit just like we did him once few months earlier. We expressed our biggest hospitality to thank him, and treat him well on the banquet--with his cups filled with whisky and brandy every time after it was empty. My uncle was bibulous, he treated wines as golds, yet he seemed to resist our toast at first in that banquet, but soon started to empty cups after cups after my parents gave him strange looks. In the meantime, my parents' cups were also full of "wine"--at least they tried to made my uncle to believe so. In fact, it was soda pop intermingled with sweet wine. Without doubt, he drunk, and felt sleepy. Of course, we offered him a nice bedroom. Within seconds he was asleep.
