Somewhere in the countryside in central England.

There is a big house here, and there lives an old man who is very knowledgeable and respected.

This old man's name is Digory Kirk.

Living with this old man was a woman named McCready.

The clouds of war have not spread to this village on a large scale yet, but the instability of the situation has made most of Britain nervous.

Most people who are shrouded in the clouds of war desperately want to leave and get themselves out of dangerous places as much as possible. Even if they cannot leave, they will send their children to a safe place.

Villages and other remote places that have not been affected by the war have naturally become places where people gather.

The sky was covered with dark clouds, and wisps of rain were floating in the sky.

A carriage stopped in front of old Professor Digory's house.

A young man who looked very young and well-dressed stepped out of the carriage, walked straight to the door of the house, and pressed the doorbell.

"Ms. McCready?"

Looking at the woman who appeared in front of him, Tang Bai smiled calmly.

Ms. Macready who appeared behind the door was not young. She had a rigid, cold, and inhuman face. The first impression she gave people was not only cold, but also repulsive.

Arrogance and indifference make people feel that this is not an easy person to get in touch with.

"Mr. Bai-Tang?"

Macready looked at Tang Bai, his rigid expression only changed slightly, and he said a cold question.

"Just call me Tang."

Tang Bai spread his hand helplessly, handed a sealed letter of introduction along the crack of the door, and said with a shrug of his shoulders.

"You came earlier than planned."

Ms. McCready rummaged through the envelope in her hand, glanced at Tang Bai, and after initially confirming her identity, she opened the door completely and welcomed Tang Bai in from the outside. Although she said it very respectfully,

But the expression on his face has not changed, and he still maintains the sense of distance that prevents strangers from entering.

"Things are always full of changes, aren't they? Being early is not a bad thing."

Tang Bai blinked and stretched out his finger to gesture to the coachman outside. The coachman immediately handed his salute to Tang Bai's hand while jogging along. Tang Bai's suitcase was not big, probably only bigger than a

The suitcase should be slightly larger.

"This is your reward, please take it."

Tang Bai handed over a small denomination of pounds, and then took his suitcase.

"The professor is working. If you want to see him, you may have to wait until he has finished his work. The professor doesn't like anyone to disturb him while he is working."

After Ms. Macready waited for Tang Bai to enter the room, she folded her palms holding the envelope and placed it on her belly. It was called asking, but it was actually a reminder to Tang Bai.

"I can understand."

Tang Bai nodded understandingly.

"Then, please come with me and I will take you to your room. Please do not touch those artifacts casually, they are all the professor likes."

Ms. Macready was very vigorous and resolute in her work. After Tang Bai came in, she didn't even say any polite words and took Tang Bai directly to the guest room upstairs. Of course, she had to give Tang Bai some pointers and introductions to bathrooms along the way.

, kitchen, how to call people, etc.

Professor Digory's house here does occupy a large area, with many spaces and rooms. The room Ms. Macready chose for Tang Bai is very spacious, with not only a large and soft bed, but also matching tables and chairs.

and sofa.

A green spider plant winding down from the top adds a touch of greenery and vitality to the room.

In the corner stands a small bookcase filled with books.

Tang Bai was not dissatisfied with his new room.

"Someone will notify you during the meal. Of course, you can also choose to eat alone in your room. The professor's meal time can only be determined after his work is finished."

Macready obviously had no intention of talking to Tang Bai. After leading Tang Bai into the room, he dropped the last sentence. After seeing that Tang Bai had no questions or intention to speak, he said goodbye directly to Tang Bai.

Closed the door and left.

Tang Bai didn't take it seriously to Ms. McCready, who was a bit distant and indifferent. He even wished that everyone in this house could be as indifferent to him as Ms. McCready. It was too much.

If he was diligent, it would be difficult for Tang Bai to launch his own actions and plans.

Yes, Tang Bai spent a lot of time and energy and went to great lengths to find this place, just to be able to find the wardrobe and enter the world of Narnia through it.
