I opened an orphanage in Pirates

great route

a certain kingdom

At the border of this country, there is a dilapidated street, where the lowest class of people in this country live. This is a slum, where garbage can be seen everywhere and rats fleeing everywhere.

There is a small place here, which is an orphanage. This building is very conspicuous here, because he is the queen of this country. To show his benevolence, he allocated funds to build it. Homeless kids, already much better.

At least there is food and clothes here, which is much better than the days of wandering.

It was very late today, and the entire orphanage seemed very quiet. Under the night, there was a small figure who was not on his bed, but squatting on the open space, looking at the sky.

His name is Crook, he is an orphan, as for his parents?He didn't know that he was placed in an orphanage when he was born, and he was always looking forward to the day when his parents would come to pick him up.But at least, now that he's 6 years old, he hasn't waited for that day to come.

Crook was a little desperate.

To be honest, his life in the orphanage was not satisfactory, at least no child was willing to get close to him. This was not only because of Crook's temperament, but also because Crook was too precocious, so he appeared to be an outlier in the orphanage. He sometimes likes to catch some little mice for fun. Once, he threw the dissected mouse in front of a girl, and the girl ran away in fright. For some reason, Crook just wanted to do this. He finds it interesting that those children isolate him, and sometimes even come to harass him in groups. Only by making these guys afraid can he stop these guys from bothering him.

He knew very well that he was different from these guys.

These ignorant little devils, Crook was sometimes taught by the nuns in the orphanage. They were also very cruel to Crook and often insulted him. Perhaps, most of the children here lived like this.

Today's Crook was fined to have no food because he disobeyed the nun's order. Now his stomach is empty and he feels very uncomfortable, so he came out to see if he could find some food to satisfy his hunger, or maybe it was a mouse. be able to eat.

The night is very good today, but Crook doesn't have time to appreciate it, and he doesn't bother to appreciate it, his stomach is rumbling with hunger.

Crook thought of those annoying little ghosts during the day again. He bit his thumb, angrily picked up a stone, and threw it not far away.

Today, all the accumulated emotions burst out all at once, and tears flowed out of his eyes. He wiped his eyes violently, not thinking about it, but the more he accumulated, the more he endured, the more his emotions exploded. Why did he His parents haven't come to him yet!

All the grievances flooded into his heart. From his point of view, he may be meaningless. He lives here, and there is absolutely nothing interesting about it. See.

Crook continued to hold back his tears, frantically grabbed the grass on the ground and uprooted it, and vented wantonly, but it didn't take long for him to stop what he was doing. It was meaningless to do so.

He really wished he could have a stutter, his stomach really hurts!

God, if there is a heaven, I hope a piece of bread will fall from the sky to satisfy his hunger, he is really hungry.

Crook feels that he is not suitable here, he does not belong here, he is incompatible with everything here, and he feels pain.

At this moment, Crook heard footsteps, is it a nun?

No, she should be resting now.

Crook looked up and saw a woman of small stature. 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 exudes a sense of security all over his body, and there is also a faint fragrance, which smells very good.

But Crook soon became alarmed:

"Who are you!"

Crook stood up, keeping a safe distance.

"I am the dean of the Sunshine House."

The opponent 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 didn't answer, but carefully looked at the woman in front of him. He didn't know why, this woman always seemed to give him a warm feeling, which was strange, but this feeling made him obsessed, which was okay. A feeling of dependence.

Crook hesitated for a moment, but hunger overcame his self-esteem, and he said:

"I would appreciate it if you could give me some food."

"Okay, I know."

I saw this woman did not know where to take out a piece of bread and handed it to Crook:

"Is the bread okay?"

Crook took the bread carefully, and looked at the woman in front of him again. He could smell the fragrance of the bread, which tempted him, but reason still prevailed, and he broke off a small piece of bread:

"you eat first."

The other party obviously didn't think of this, but in astonishment, he still took the bread and ate it into his mouth:

"So you can eat it?"

Seeing that the other party was fine, Crook started to eat. He was just used to being cautious. He didn't believe that anyone would help him for free. Although he didn't like the orphanage, he didn't want to be abducted in a daze. He was always with the other party Keep a safe distance.

One piece of bread was quickly eaten, and Crook felt very satisfied, but his stomach was still very empty.

The other party spoke again:

"Need another one?"

Crook shook his head, but his stomach betrayed him, rumbling.

King Crook took a few steps back without speaking.

The woman on the opposite side took out another white bread and handed it to Crook, and took a small piece of it and stuffed it into her mouth:

"Don't worry, you can eat."

When Crook saw the other party swallowing it, he took the bread with confidence and continued to eat it with big mouthfuls.

The bread was very soft, unlike the hard black bread he usually ate, it was soft and delicious, at least Crook could only eat it once during the holidays.

Crook felt the warmth and satisfaction in his stomach. He didn't expect more, but thanked obediently:

"Thank you for your bread. I will repay you in the future. Can you tell me where the Sunshine House you mentioned earlier is? When I grow up, I will repay you."

Anyway, the other party gave him food, and he needed to repay it, and it was such delicious food.

"Sunshine House is an orphanage."

"You lied, there is only this orphanage nearby."

Crook quickly exposed the other party, but the other party did not seem to be angry, but seemed a little surprised:

"Then are you also a member of this orphanage?"

Crook nodded.

"Then why didn't they give you anything to eat?"

Crook didn't speak.

"Well, I don't force you if you want to say it. By the way, I'm not lying. I'm indeed the head of an orphanage, but I'm not here, but in Elbaf in the New World."

"Then why are you here?"

"This is my little secret, I only showed up when I heard your call."

The person who gave Crook the bread was Katriel who received the call of the system's rescue function. To be honest, Katriel said that she was very dry. She didn't expect that she would rescue the child in the orphanage. It's hell, what is this? Meaning, the system asked her to match up with other orphanages?

interesting.

But the child in front of him still looks good, so the treatment in this orphanage should be considered good.

Originally, Katril thought he could adopt the child through the rescue function, but he couldn't just snatch the child who already had an orphanage, right?

What is this.

Crook didn't believe Cattrell's words:

"If you don't want to say it, forget it, you should tell me your name?"

"Catrell, my name is Catrell. I've already introduced myself, shouldn't you introduce yourself too?"

"My name is Crook."

"Cruck? What a nice name, and your blue hair is beautiful."

Crook was stunned by the sudden praise.

This seems to be the first time someone praised him for his beautiful hair color, and he replied bluntly:

"Thank you."

"So, Crook, do you have time to chat?"

Katriel found a place to sit down and motioned for Crook to sit beside him. Crook didn't move, just stood and said:

"I don't feel like I have anything to talk about."

"Well, it's normal, you can tell me about how you are doing in this orphanage, just treat me as a family member, just like talking about daily life after dinner."

Crook still didn't move, he thought.

Forget it, just thank her for the buns and chat with her

Crook began to talk about the daily life here with Katriel, and sometimes when talking about some happy things, Crook's tone would rise. I have to say that Katriell is a good listener, She didn't interrupt Crook's talk, but just listened silently.

When Crook was tired of talking and didn't continue talking, Carterell spoke:

"Crook, you are a special child, you are very smart, I have no right to say anything about you, I just hope you try to communicate with those children, at least make friends."

Crook didn't speak.

"Crook, I want to ask you, do you think you are doing well in this orphanage?"

"not good."

"Then would you like to come to other orphanages? Like my orphanage?"

Crook smiled helplessly:

"It's too far away. Besides, I don't want to leave here. I want to...wait for a day when my parents can pick me up."

"Really, then well, I should go, Crook, I hope you have a good time tonight."

"Are you leaving? When can I see you again?"

"Maybe I will never see you again, maybe I will meet you by fate, I can't tell, but I hope you can have a happy life in the future."

Before leaving, Katriel gave Crook a hug, and then left, Crook remained where he was, and Katriell left him two buns.

Crook looked at the bun in his hand, and then at Katriel's back. Katriel's hug before leaving made Crook feel warmer than ever before. I don't know why I always feel like It's like a dream.

He then went back and ate his bread and went to sleep.

In the next few days, he often wandered the streets, hoping to find news about Katril, but found nothing.

He also tried to wait for her at night, hoping to meet her again one day.

But none of these methods worked, and she seemed to have really disappeared.

Crook didn't look any further.

He just silently remembered what Katriel once said in his heart, her orphanage opened in Elbaf in the New World.

This may be the last way he will see her.

Although the time they spent together was very short, they left a deep impression on Crook.

At least, he is no longer just looking forward to his parents to pick him up, he also hopes to wait until he grows up.
