Red Dead Redemption Dawn
Chapter 21: chat
When John returned to the church, he saw the little girl sitting alone on the bench outside the church looking at the sky. She looked a little bored, and seemed to be thinking about something.
She looked very much like a little girl who had just left school waiting for her parents to bring her home.
John walked over softly and sat beside her naturally, the little girl glanced at John out of the corner of the eye and said nothing.
"What are you thinking?" John looked sideways at this beautiful little girl and felt sorry for her past.
"I don't know." The little girl glanced at John and then turned her eyes to the sky.
"How about I go find you a family?" John asked tentatively, looking at the little girl.
"Are you going to send me off?" The little girl didn't look back and still looked at the sky.
"You should have a complete family at your age. It's good for you to grow up. I can't spare time to take care of you." John seemed to remember something after that.
"By the way, I brought this back to you." John took out the ring and the family portrait that survived the fire.
"Thank you, John, you have done so much for this." The little girl picked up the photo and looked at it carefully, stroking her parents and the little boy who asked for cheese once.
"John, I have nothing to give you, so consider this a gift from me." The little girl picked up the diamond ring and handed it to John.
"Wow~ a very precious gift." John rudely picked up the diamond ring and pointed it at the sun to appreciate it carefully. This is a sapphire diamond ring, very beautiful and perfectly cut. Facing the sun, it feels like looking at the water from the bottom of the sea. Like the sun, the sea makes the sun soft and bright.
"But I can't take it." John handed the ring to the little girl again.
John looked at the beautiful blue eyes of the little girl and said, "Because I got enough things, you know, those bandits intercepted a lot of caravans, and they left me a lot of treasure, including yours. one."
"If you don't like being accepted by other families, how about I send you to study?" John asked again.
"You can learn anything you want, and you don't have to worry about financial matters. I will pay enough living expenses to your account every month, okay?"
"Okay, but won't you come to see me often?" The little girl looked back at John and asked.
"You can write often, and I'll send you to a place completely covered by civilization instead of the west."
Seeing that the little girl knew that she was going to sail away, there was a hint of invisible emotion on her face.
"This is the west, not a suitable environment for studying. Even in Saint Denis, what do you think of England?" John communicated with the little girl while trying his best to satisfy and negotiate.
"Is it necessary to go that far? John, can you not go abroad? I don't want to leave my hometown too far." The little girl expressed her opinion.
"Okay, then don't go to the UK. How about the eastern New Zealand? I know where there is a women's college that has been established for more than 50 years. It is very suitable, where you can make many friends and the environment is very beautiful." John suggested again.
"John, where do I write to you, will you reply?"
"Of course, as long as the letter is sent to Blackwater Town, I will get back to you soon. And I will see you at the right time. I also want to see this world other than the west." John answered with certainty.
"When the time comes, you can become a writer, or an artist or something, or somewhere to stay and become a teacher. Anyway, you should go to school when you should go to school, instead of struggling to survive in this wild world, then Not something you should consider at your age."
"Well, thank you, John."
"I'll take you to buy something you need first, and then we'll go to the hotel. Let's stay there for a day or two, and then send you to New Zealand after I've dealt with everything."
"Yes." The little girl nodded, agreeing to John's suggestion.
Later, John took the little girl around the rich area of Heishui Town, and bought two sets of daily clothes and a diary.
Then John took her back to the hotel and opened him a room next to John's room.
"Are you still satisfied?" John took the little girl to his room and asked after taking a look around.
"Well. Where are you going?"
"I'm going to ask a friend about something. You rest in your room first. If you're hungry, you can call the waiter. But don't go out alone at night. It's very dangerous at night, even in Blackwater Town." John said He handed the little girl a stack of one-dollar bills, including two ten-dollar bills.
"I'm a little tired today and won't go out."
"Well, see you tomorrow." After speaking, John left the room.
The little girl smiled and watched John close the door, then the smile on her face stopped, and she came to the window.
She saw John's tall figure walking towards the direction of the Blackwater Zhenluo Tiehu.
Then the little girl took out the family portrait, looked at it carefully, then took out the ring that John gave her, and then looked at the lights outside the window that gradually turned on due to the setting sun.
She took out the diary she just bought today, and picked up the pen again.
"Today is a beautiful day, father, mother, and brother Frank, who likes to eat sugar. The murderer who killed you was sent to **** by John, and he brought me back a family photo. That day mother begged father for you. The one we took together.
In the photo, Frank is still so fond of candy, his mother is still so beautiful, and your father's seriousness is still so old-fashioned and harsh. Oh, by the way, John also got his father's proposal ring back.
John said that he wanted to send me to study in New Zealand in the northeast. He said that the environment is beautiful and I can meet many new friends. He seems to be very busy, but this is normal. He doesn't owe me anything, but I owe him a lot. Maybe I I should do something to repay him, although he never asked me anything from beginning to end.
Mother, you are right. There are many bad people here, but there are also good people. I am very lucky to meet John after losing you.
I don't think I will ever forget the scene of meeting him that day. In those three days of darkness, he was like a beam of light.
Father, mother, and Frank, who loves candy, I think I will study hard and strive to be a knowledgeable and high-class person? At least I won't let him down. This may be the only thing I can do now and try my best to do it well.
Maybe when I graduate, I will be able to repay him, mother, father, Frank, I think I will live well. "
The little girl closed the note, and then looked out the window, the lights were bright, the pedestrians on the street were hurrying, the light shone through the glass on the side of the little girl's face, illuminating the beautiful little white face very brightly.
It's just that the lights outside the window have nothing to do with her.
John, who left the inn, headed towards Edwin Manor. He needed a little help.
"John, I'm very happy that you are here." It was Steve who came out to greet John, who was still the same handsome and saucy bag.
"Actually, I'm here to ask for help, I hope you won't be disappointed." John said with a sorry expression on his face.
"No, of course not, I even hope you will come to me every time you have something. This proves that I am your very trusted partner." Steve shook his head and John walked towards the back garden.
"Mr. Edwin is dealing with work in the town, ah yes, and thank you for the two companions you recommended to me. They are indeed very suitable people."
"Come on, we happened to be having a barbecue in the back garden. You came at the right time, haha." Steve brought John to the back garden. Several guards were grilling, and there were some new faces.
"Mr. John, it's nice to see you again." Several guards said to John, who remembered that they were the few who survived.
"I'm glad to see you again." John gestured.
"Come on, let's sit over there." Steve took two bottles of beer and handed one to John, then motioned for the two of them to talk at an empty table in the distance.
"Uh~ John, what can I help you with this time?" Steve asked after taking a swig of beer after sitting down.
"I helped an unfortunate little girl recently, and now the matter is settled, she is the only one left." John also took a sip and explained his purpose.
"You want to find a family who is willing to adopt her? It's very simple, many people are willing to adopt, people I know." Steve said to John after nodding.
"No, she doesn't seem to want to integrate into other families again, so I want to send her to school." John shook his head and said that was not the case.
"That's good. Learning can change lives. She will have many new friends at the academy."
"Yes, me, but I want to send her to study in a city completely covered by civilization."
"Do you have a good place to go?"
"I heard that there is a very good women's college in New Zealand in the northeastern part of the Commonwealth, in South Hadley, Massachusetts."
"Montholly College? Ah, that's a pretty good college. Mr. Edwin's wife graduated there. She is the thirteenth class of students of the college. It's a very good choice. In fact, Hathaway was also recently accepted by Edwin. Where did Mr. Wen send it?"
"Mr. Edwin also feels that this place is not suitable for Hathaway. Miss Hathaway will leave in two days. She will rush to sign up before the school starts. You can let that little girl follow Hathaway. Wei go together." Steve nodded.
"Ah, isn't it, that's great, does Miss Hathaway mind?" John felt very grateful.
"How could it be? No one accompanies her to go with her in the first place. Now she has a partner. She may be very happy. Otherwise, in front of a group of guards who dare not talk to her, it is estimated that no one will talk to her except reading books." The husband denied.
"However, where the tuition is not cheap, it can actually be paid by Mr. Edwin, because he is more happy that someone can go with his daughter. For him, it is not money." Steve helped John pay attention .
"This is not necessary, I can still afford the tuition." John rejected Steve's superfluous suggestion.
"Can you tell me about that little girl?" Steve asked.
"Of course, an event that happens all year round in the West." John nodded, when the guard brought a lot of tenderly grilled steaks and a bucket of cold beer to the two of them.
In this way, the two have been chatting about Triss's past while eating barbecue.
Until Steve sent John to the door.
"Tomorrow, you can bring that little girl over so you can get acquainted with it first. Anyway, there are a lot of rooms here, so it's convenient to go together at that time." Steve instructed John.
"no problem?"
"Relax, I'm sure Mr. Edwin and Hathaway are also very happy to meet this brave little lady."
"Okay, I'll go back and talk to her, and I'll bring her over tomorrow." John nodded.
"See you John tomorrow." Steve waved.
Then John rode on his horse and headed towards Blackwater Town.
