antique on the run

Chapter 65 Conan Doyle Fragment 12

The little boy Mick is about thirteen or fourteen years old. He has blond hair and blue eyes, and is shorter than children of the same age. He is led by the teacher obediently, and he looks very cute.

However, Qi Xiao noticed with sharp eyes that Mick's mouth was slightly open, his nose was red, and his eyes were staring blankly ahead. He was led by Helen like a puppet, and he didn't react at all to the things that appeared in front of him.

Mental retardation, also known as dementia in children.

No wonder...he is called fool Mick by his classmates.

Helen led Mick to Qi Xiao, bent down and said to him patiently: "Mick, look, this is your uncle. Uncle is here to see Mick."

It took a long time for Mick to react to Helen's words, rolled his eyes, and repeated slowly: "Uncle, uncle came to see Mick..."

Helen sighed, stood up and said apologetically to Qi Xiao: "I'm sorry, Uncle Mick, we have been trying to find a way these years, but Mick's situation has not improved." She paused, and asked in a low voice: "Mick Was it like this when you were a child?"

Qi Xiao nodded noncommittally, then shook his head, his eyes fell on Mick with pity, fully expressing the helplessness and helplessness of a "pro-uncle".

"When he was young... he could see that he was different from other children, but it was obviously not as serious as it is now. Alas, I didn't expect that I had been away for so many years and he had grown up so much. My sister still couldn't find a doctor to treat Mick well."

He squatted down, took Mick's hand from Helen's hand, thought for a while, showed a gentle smile, and was about to speak, when Mick suddenly grinned, opened his arms and hugged his neck. let go.

Sevi: "!!!"

Why does even a little kid come to snatch his lover from him!

"Hey, it seems that Mick likes uncle very much." Helen joked on the side.

Qi Xiao smiled, he didn't know where he was following the little boy's eyes, but it happened that he and Sai Wei had many questions and wanted to get answers from Mick, although Mick suffered from childhood dementia, but This disease does not mean that the IQ is zero, but that Mick's intelligence level is lower than that of children of the same age, and may stay at the childish level.

Qi Xiao thought, if you speak slowly and plainly, Mick may not understand.

As soon as he hugged Mick with all his strength, the 13-year-old boy was relatively thin, but he was still quite heavy. Qi Xiao struggled to hold him.

Saiwei subconsciously reached out to take Mick, but Qi Xiao refused.

He is a "pro-uncle", how can he hold his nephew and give it to other people to hold him.

"Mr. Helen, I'll take Mick for a walk around the campus and bring him back soon, do you think it's okay?" Qi Xiao asked.

"Oh, of course!" Helen immediately nodded and said, "You can take him around to play, it doesn't matter. They should return to the classroom after this activity class, just send him to my office later."

Seeing Mick grinning and rubbing the top of his head against Qi Xiao's cheeks, Helen said with relief, "I've never seen Mick so happy. Usually, when their housekeeper comes to pick him up, he's always depressed." Yes, as expected, I still have a good relationship with my uncle, and it's still the same after not seeing each other for so many years."

Qi Xiao...Qi Xiao himself didn't know why Mick had such a good relationship with him, he smiled kindly at Helen, hugged Mick and left.

"This little brat, why are you hugging him so tightly!" As soon as he left Helen's sight, Sai Wei tried every means to pull Mick out of Qi Xiao's arms, but regardless of his young age, he was quite strong. Moaning and chirping, he refused to let go of Qi Xiao.

"Forget it, don't bother, just let me hug him." Qi Xiao stopped Saiwei and said, "Also, you are a Frenchman who can only speak French, so you should speak French obediently at school, Don't speak to me in Chinese."

Sai Wei and Qi Xiao are always used to speaking Chinese when they get along, but now they are still in St. Carmel Middle School after all, maybe their conversation will be heard by someone, so it is better to pay attention.

Sure enough, Saiwei was taken aback for a moment, then scratched his head apologetically and said, "Sorry, I didn't pay attention."

He has switched back to the French channel.

They sat down on the bench by the woods, and Mick refused to let go of Qi Xiao, so Qi Xiao had to let him sit on his lap, and Sewe got a lot of jealousy for this.

"Mick, are you happy at school?" Qi Xiao slowed down, saying each word slowly, so that Mick could understand what he meant.

Mick reacted for a while, shook his head, and whispered: "No, not happy."

"why?"

"Bully, bully Mick, call Mick a fool..."

He was probably talking about those classmates who always laughed at him as a fool.

Qi Xiao sighed, and asked again: "Then what about going home, does Mick want to go home?"

This time Mick's reaction was much faster. He twisted in Qi Xiao's arms, shook his head and said, "Well, no, I won't go home."

He seemed to dislike the word "home" very much, and he became irritable. Qi Xiao stretched out a hand and patted his back gently before gradually calming down.

"Why doesn't Mick go home?" Qi Xiao asked tentatively.

"Fierce..." Mick flattened his mouth and said aggrievedly: "Dulu fierce..."

Dulu is probably the butler of Mick's house.

"What about mom? Doesn't Mick want to see mom too?"

When mentioning his mother, Mick blinked blankly, shook his head after a long time and said, "No, I don't want to see you."

Qi Xiao was very patient, and said in a more gentle tone: "Then what about Dad, doesn't Mick want to see Dad too?"

Mick is obviously more sensitive to the word dad than the word mother, and said angrily: "I don't like dad, Mick doesn't like dad."

"Why don't you like Dad?"

Qi Xiao is very strange. It stands to reason that Richard has been working abroad all year round. Mick must have more contact with Michelle than Richard. Why is his sensitivity and disgust towards Richard obviously higher than Michelle’s? you?

I only heard Mick whisper: "Dad, always take away the people Mick likes, whoever Mick likes, he will take away..."

the person I like?

Qi Xiao and Saiwei looked at each other, and Qi Xiao asked again: "Who does Mick like?"

Mick thought for a while, "Ms. Natasha, she is good to Mick."

The gentle Natasha has always been friendly to the students, including of course Mick, who suffers from childhood dementia and is rejected and ridiculed by the students.

At first, Natasha simply felt that this child was quite pitiful, so she often took him to chat after class and gave him some delicious and fun things.However, after Natasha and Mick's father Richard got married, she obviously ignored Mick a lot. She put all her heart on the handsome and rich lover. For the silly son with low IQ of the lover, naturally Some are not used to it.

Especially after Natasha found out that she was pregnant and was likely to give birth to a smart and healthy son for her beloved Richard, it was even more unpleasant to see Mick.

This fool is like a stumbling block on his son's bright future.

But in Mick's eyes, he didn't know the twists and turns in Natasha's heart. He just intuitively found out that Teacher Natasha treated him badly after she met her father, so she always felt that her father took him away. the person I like.

He took Qi Xiao's hand and said cautiously: "Mick likes uncle, don't let uncle be snatched away by father..."

The kid doesn't seem to know of his father's death yet.

That's right, according to Teacher Helen's words, the butler will come to pick up Mick only when the school is on holiday, and it's not the time for the holiday yet.Or Mick had gone back, but no one had told him that Richard had died.

This child is not taken seriously at home, this is what Qi Xiao and Saiwei have already learned.

"Uncle won't be taken away..." Mick was still whispering alone, "There is also Teacher Helen, Grandpa Gardener, Mrs. Diane, and Immazhe! Oh, Immazhe..."

Mick suddenly became depressed.

Qi Xiao said: "What's wrong with Yimaizhe, who is he? Is he your good friend at school?"

"Well..." Mick replied in a low voice, "Imaizhe is very good, he plays with me, he doesn't say I'm stupid, he can do magic tricks, so powerful, so powerful magic tricks! He can do this and that. Turn, you can still sit in a small box!"

Mick was dancing and dancing, and he could see that he should like that classmate named Imazhe very much, but soon he became listless again.

"But Imazhe hasn't been here for a long time, and he doesn't play with Mick anymore..."

"Oh, Imazure, that kid recently took a long vacation and hasn't come to school for a long time."

After Qi Xiao and Sai Wei sent Mick back to Teacher Helen, and the little boy waved goodbye to "uncle" reluctantly, Qi Xiao casually asked Teacher Helen about Mick's little friend, Imazhe.

"I heard from Mick that Immazhe has a good relationship with him, is that true?"

"Well, yes, the relationship between these two children is really good." Teacher Helen thought for a while and said, "You know, Mick doesn't have many friends in school, and Imazhe... Imazhe is older than them There are many students in college, but their personality is relatively introverted and withdrawn, and they are often isolated by other students, so the two of them get together to play instead."

Under Teacher Helen's narration, Qi Xiao and the others probably understood why Imazhe and Mick could become good friends.

As advertised to the outside world, St. Carmel Middle School is an aristocratic middle school. Most of the students who go to school here are children from rich families. It has high-end hardware facilities and excellent teachers, and the cost of studying here is also very high. It is very expensive, so the children of ordinary families cannot afford the fees of this school.

Because Imaija's mother used to be a flower worker at the school, she accidentally fell off a flower stand and died four years ago when she was working. The flower stand was an inferior product bought by the school, and its feet were not stable. The school did not admit it in order to cover up the mistake. It was his own fault, let alone being responsible for the death of Imazhe's mother.

Therefore, Yimaizhe was left alone for several years, until some craftsmen were dissatisfied with the salary, quarreled with the school, and made public the truth about what happened to Yimaizhe's mother, and the school had to admit it and reluctantly raised her on her behalf. For the underage child, let Yimai Zhe enter this noble middle school and exempt him from tuition fees, and also pay him monthly living expenses as compensation for his mother's death.

At that time, Yimaizhe was already four years older than his classmates.

Of course, the school did this out of compensation, but of course it would be discriminated against if Imazhe, who was from a poor family, was put together with a group of children from rich families. There are two most famous students in this school, except for "Silly Mick" , and there is another one, that is, "Imaj the Poor".
