Chapter 17 The system asked me to compete with other orphanages for business(1/2)
Great Way
A certain kingdom
On the border of this country, there is a down-and-out street, where the lowest class of people in this country live, this is a slum, with garbage everywhere and rats running around.
There is a small area here, an orphanage. This building is very conspicuous here because it is the queen of this country. It was built to show his kindness. Although it is insignificant for the queen, it is much better for some homeless children.
At least there is food and clothes here, which is much better than the days when I wandered around before.
It was already very late today, and the entire orphanage seemed very quiet. Under the night, there was a small figure not on his bed, but squatting in the open space and looking at the sky.
His name is Crook, an orphan. As for his parents, he didn't know that he was placed in an orphanage as soon as he was born. He had been looking forward to one day when his parents could pick him up. But at least, he is now 6 years old and has not yet waited for this day to come.
Crook was a little desperate.
To be honest, he was not doing well in the orphanage, at least no child was willing to approach him. This was not only because of Crook's temperament, but also because Crook was too precocious and seemed an alien in the orphanage. Sometimes he liked to catch some little mice and play with it. Once, he threw the dissected mouse in front of a girl, and the girl ran away in shock. For some reason, Crook wanted to do this, which would make him feel interesting. The children isolated him and sometimes even harassed him in groups. Only by making these guys scared can these guys stop annoying themselves.
He knew very well that he was different from these guys.
These ignorant little devils, Crook sometimes was taught a lesson by nuns in the orphanage. They were also very fierce to Crook and often insulted him. Perhaps, most of the children here spent this way.
Today, Crook was punished to have no food for not obeying the nun's orders. Now he has an empty stomach and feels uncomfortable, so he comes out to see if he can find some food to satisfy his hunger, or just a mouse, maybe he can eat it too.
The night was very good today, but Crook had no time to appreciate it, and he was too lazy to appreciate it, and his stomach was so hungry that he was rumbled.
Crook thought of the annoying little ghosts during the day. He bit his thumb, angrily picked up a stone, and threw it at it not far away.
Today, all the accumulated emotions suddenly burst out, tears flowed out of his eyes in a daze. He wiped his eyes suddenly, not thinking about it, but the more he accumulated, the more patient he was, the more he was, the more violent his emotions broke out. Why didn’t his parents come to him yet!
All grievances surged in his heart. In his opinion, he might have no meaning or meaning. He was alive here, without any interesting places. It was simply terrible. The exclusion of others and the unwelcome of the orphanage nuns.
Crook continued to hold back his tears, grabbed the grass on the ground frantically and uprooted it, venting it freely, but not long after, he stopped the movements in his hands, and doing so was meaningless.
He really hoped to have a stutter, his stomach was really uncomfortable!
Oh God, if there is God, I hope a piece of bread can be dropped from the sky to fill his hunger. He is really hungry.
Crook felt that he was not suitable for this place, so he did not belong to this place. He seemed out of place with everything here, and he felt pain.
At this moment, Crook heard the sound of footsteps. Is it a nun?
No, she should have a rest now.
Crook looked up and saw a woman with a small figure. Because of the night, he couldn't see her face clearly.
The other party's pleasant voice came:
"Need help, kid?"
Crook felt very strange. This person felt a sense of security all over his body, and a faint fragrance that smelled very nicely.
But Crook quickly became alert:
"Who are you!"
Crook stood up and kept a safe distance.
"I am the dean of Sunshine House."
The other party also kept a distance from Crook.
Crook was a little confused. What the hell is Sunshine House?
But Crook didn't say it.
The other party spoke again:
"Do you need help, kid?"
Crook did not answer, but looked at the woman in front of him carefully. He didn't know why, but this woman always felt a warm feeling, which was strange, but this feeling made him obsessed with, and it was a feeling that he could rely on.
Crook hesitated for a moment, but still hunger defeated his self-esteem, and still spoke:
“If you could give me some food, I would be grateful.”
"Okay, I get it."
I saw that the woman took out a piece of bread from somewhere and handed it to Crook:
“Is bread OK?”
Crook took the bread carefully and looked at the woman in front of him. He could smell the fragrance of the bread, which tempted him, but reason still defeated everything. He broke off a small piece of bread:
"You eat first."
The other party obviously didn't expect this, but in amazement, he took the bread and ate it in his mouth:
"So you can eat it?"
Seeing that the other party had nothing to do with eating, Crook started to eat. He was just used to being cautious. He didn't believe that someone would help him for free. Although he didn't like the orphanage, he didn't want to be abducted in a daze. He kept a safe distance from the other party at all times.
One bread was finished quickly, and Crook felt very satisfied, but his stomach was still empty.
The other party spoke again:
"Do you need another one?"
Crook shook his head, but his stomach betrayed him, making a rumbling sound.
Queen Crook took a few steps back and said nothing.
The woman opposite took out another white bread and handed it to Crook, and pinched a small piece into her mouth:
"Don't worry, you can eat it."
When Crook saw the other party swallowing, he took the bread with confidence and continued to eat it in big mouthfuls.
The bread was very soft, different from the hard black bread he usually ate. It was very soft and delicious. At least Crook could only eat it once during the holidays.
Crook felt the warmth and satisfaction of his stomach. He did not ask for more, but just thanked him obediently:
"Thank you for your bread, I will repay you in the future. Can you tell me where the Sunshine House you mentioned before? When I grow up, I will repay you."
No matter what, the other party gave him food, and he needed to repay it, and it was such delicious food.
“Sunshine House is an orphanage.”
"You are lying, there is only this orphanage nearby."
Crook quickly exposed the other party, but the other party seemed not angry, but seemed a little surprised:
"Are you a member of this orphanage?"
Crook nodded.
"Then why didn't they give you food?"
Crook didn't speak.
"Well, you don't force me to say that, by the way, I didn't lie. I am indeed the director of an orphanage, but it's not here, but Elbaff in the New World."
"Then why did you show up here?"
"This is my little secret. I only appeared when I heard your call."
The bread given to Crook was Carterel who was summoned by the system's rescue function. To be honest, Carterel said it was very fucking. She didn't expect that she had rescued her child and actually rescued her orphanage. It was a hell. What does this mean? The system asked her to meet other orphanages?
interesting.
However, the child in front of him looks pretty good, and the orphanage treatment should be pretty good.
Originally, Carter thought he could adopt children through the rescue function, but he couldn't rob a child who already had an orphanage, right?
What's this?
Crook didn't believe Carterel's words:
"If you don't want to say it, forget it, you should tell me your name?"
"Catriel, my name is Caratriel. I have introduced myself. Should you introduce yourself too?"
"My name is Crook."
"Crook? What a nice name, and your blue hair is beautiful."
Crook was stunned by this sudden praise.
This seems to be the first time someone praised his hair for its good color, and he replied bluntly:
"Thanks."
"So, Crook, do you have time to talk?"
Carteril found a place to sit down and signaled Crook to sit next to him. Crook did not move, but just stood and said:
"I don't feel like there's anything to talk about."
"Okay, this is normal. You can tell me how you live in this orphanage. Just treat me as a family, just like chatting about daily life."
Crook still didn't move, he thought.
Forget it, just treat it as thanking her for her little bread and chat with her
Crook began to talk to Carterel about the daily life here. Sometimes when talking about some pretty happy things, Crook's tone would rise. I have to say that Carterel is a good listener. She did not interrupt Crook's confidence, but just listened silently.
To be continued...
