In the principal's office of the Xiali Orphanage, Henry, an old policeman in a black police uniform, led a thin, dark child with a blank face into the room.

The child's body was dirty, and his long and messy hair looked like a bird's nest. His face was also dark. I don't know if his skin was originally dark, or it was covered with a layer of black gray. .He curled up in a long black T that was too loose. This slightly cleaner black long T was that Sergeant Henry really couldn't understand his clothes that matched the rags and forced him to change it. Up.

A little mouse whose fur was as dirty as his hair poked out a small head from the bird's nest, squeaked twice and then shrank back immediately.

The old principal Taylor, who was downloading the TV series with his personal brain, looked up at the two people who came in, his face changed, and he hurriedly put away his brain.He adjusted his glasses on the bridge of his nose, pushed away the chair and stood up, and said solemnly: "It turns out to be Sergeant Henry. If you are far away, please sit down as you like."

"Is the principal busy?" Henry sat down on the leather sofa by the door, leaning comfortably against the soft leather cushions of the sofa.

Principal Taylor coughed twice in embarrassment, and replied: "I'm just looking at a few documents." He glanced at the black and thin Asian child standing next to Henry, various thoughts turned in his mind, and asked with a smile He said, "Mr. Inspector, if you don't have anything to do, you don't go to the Three Treasures Hall. What are you doing today?"

Henry was too lazy to play charades with the old fox, so he pushed Shen Ling forward and said, "This child has been wandering on the island for several months. I have investigated it, and there is no household registration information. According to regulations, your orphanage is responsible for adopting him. Until he comes of age at 20."

"This..." Principal Taylor showed a look of embarrassment, "There are too many children in the yard, and there were no beds a few months ago."

Sergeant Henry, who had expected the old fox to react like this, said unhurriedly: "Two days ago, our Chengnan Police Station caught a burglar, Titus, that seems to be the name."

Hearing the name Henry said, Principal Taylor's face changed slightly.

"After questioning, it seems that he left your orphanage a week ago." Henry left his back from the soft leather pad, leaned forward, and stared directly at Principal Taylor with his sharp eyes. "During this period of time, no new children have been sent over. I think there should be at least one bed."

"Don't tell me I forgot." Principal Taylor squinted his eyes and laughed, "I have the impression that this kid named Taylor came out of our yard. But Sergeant Henry, you didn't manage such a child." A big orphanage, I don’t understand the hardships.” Taylor sighed, “The children have to pay for food, clothing, housing and transportation, and now the relief funds of the Municipal Welfare Department are very tight. Isn’t the mayor your brother-in-law? ? You see—"

"Okay, principal, I understand your concerns. I have already applied for relief funds from the General Welfare Administration for this child, and his share will be paid out on time like everyone else."

Upon hearing that the relief funds had been arranged, Principal Taylor immediately put on an extremely sincere smile. "Since it was requested by the sheriff, I can't refuse. We'll accept this child for the time being." He pressed a very old telephone beside him, and after a few seconds of beeping, The other end of the phone is connected.

"Ms. Helen, please come to my office."

After a few minutes, there was a rush of high-heeled shoes stepping on the ground outside the door.

Helen, a pudgy female teacher with an apple-shaped face, knocked on the door of the principal's office. After receiving a reply, she opened the door and walked in.

"Mr. Helen, come and meet the new members of your class." Principal Taylor raised his hand to introduce this black and skinny street kid to Helen, but found that he didn't even know his name. "What's his name?" asked Henry.

"Shen Ling, he can write." Henry replied.

In fact, Helen saw Shen Ling when she walked into the principal's office, and immediately understood the meaning of the principal asking her to come over.

Her brow furrowed slightly.

Why did such a dirty waif be pushed into their class? She had seen a few of this kind of children in the orphanage, and they were often eccentric and difficult to deal with.Forget all these things, seeing how dirty he is, I don't know if there are any messy things growing on him, if he has some kind of disease, it will be bad.

Although she was very dissatisfied in her heart, Helen still maintained the demeanor that a teacher should have in front of the principal and senior police officers. She smiled and said, "Shen Ling, he is an Asian child. This name is quite good."

Sheriff Henry, who is over a hundred years old and has seen all kinds of people, saw the dislike for Shen Ling in Helen's eyes at a glance. He snorted coldly and said, "I hope you can take good care of this child. I still have something to do." , let’s say goodbye first.”

Henry got up and patted Shen Ling on the shoulder. "I'm leaving, little guy, remember what I said, many things can only be done when you grow up."

Shen Ling's eyes flickered because of Henry's words. He raised his lowered head and watched Principal Taylor send Sergeant Henry away in person.

After Henry and the principal left, the smile on Helen's face collapsed.She pushed Shen Ling roughly, and cursed: "What are you doing in a daze, get out!" Probably feeling that Shen Ling's body was too dirty, Helen took a few pieces of tissue from the tissue box on the principal's desk and vigorously Wipe the hand that touched Shen Ling before.

Shen Ling staggered, and the little mouse was almost thrown out of his hair.However, it cleverly grabbed Shen Ling's hair with its small claws, so that it was not thrown to death. ╭(╯^╰)╮

Helen took Shen Ling down from the small foreign building where the principal's office was located, and entered a small five-story building next door.The building was very shady, Helen took Shen Ling up to the fifth floor, and stopped in front of a room next to the stairs.

When Helen led Shen Ling up the stairs, a group of children, big and small, surrounded them.I don't know if it was because they were afraid of Helen or because Shen Ling's body was too dirty. These children didn't dare to get too close. They pointed at Shen Ling from a little distance away. Helen waved them away impatiently, and they laughed. Each ran away.

Helen knocked on the door, and soon the door was opened from the inside. It was a tall and handsome boy who opened the door.Like Shen Ling, he is an Asian boy, with soft black hair and smiling black eyes. At first glance, he looks like a docile and nice guy.

"Teacher Helen." The boy greeted Helen with a shy smile.

Seeing this boy, Helen, who had always been sullen and unhappy, finally showed a little smile. "Anwen, this kid is a new kid in our class. His name is Shen Ling. You can take him to collect daily necessities later. I will greet him at the warehouse. You are the class monitor. You have to work hard these few days and teach him Let’s talk about the rules in the yard, do you know?”

Anwen immediately replied: "Okay, don't worry, teacher."

Helen was always at ease with Anwen, and after handing Shen Ling over to him, she left the dormitory building.

Helen left, facing Shen Ling who bowed his head silently, Anwen suddenly felt a little uneasy.There were also street children who were sent here in the yard, but most of these street children who were used to being wild outside were thorny, so they were usually sent to the class of Mr. Arthur, the only male teacher in the orphanage.This time, they were assigned to their obedient baby class. I really don't know what the teachers think.

"Come in with me." Anwen walked a few steps into the room, and after finding that Shen Ling was still standing still, he thought about it, and simply grabbed Shen Ling's arm and dragged him in.

The dormitories in the orphanage are all standard four-person rooms, which are not big, and a small washroom is added to the 20-meter square.There is a large lockable cabinet, four wooden beds and four tables and chairs, among which the bed next to the window and the table and chairs beside the bed are empty.

"Do you want to take a shower first? I can lend you my clothes." Anwen asked.

Shen Ling still lowered her head and said nothing.

"Then you go get things with me first." An Wen knew that Shen Ling wouldn't move, so he simply took his hand downstairs to the warehouse at the end of the corridor on the first floor to get bedding, basins and other things.

Shen Ling's body was too dirty, Anwen only let him take the washbasin, lunch box and mat, and went upstairs with two bedding and pillows.

Back on the fifth floor, Anwen asked Shen Ling to sit on the empty bed first, and he went to get him the remaining bed sheets, clothes and other sundries.

Before leaving, Anwen persuaded Shen Ling again: "Go take a bath, otherwise the canteen master won't let you in after dinner."

Shen Ling lowered his head and said nothing, Anwen smiled bitterly, and when he was about to look away, he accidentally saw a little gray mouse emerging from Shen Ling's head, which made him turn pale in fright, and screamed: "Old...mouse?" He took several steps back.

Shen Ling looked up at Anwen when he was screaming. At that moment, he remembered that there was a person who also screamed loudly when he saw the dirty chubby for the first time and mistakenly thought it was an ordinary mouse. .

Pang slid all the way down from Shen Ling's head, and Shen Ling raised his hand to catch Pang who was falling. Pang stood in Shen Ling's palm, raised his upper body, glared at Anwen with bared teeth, and said "squeak" Squeak" kept screaming.

I'm not a mouse, I'm Mickey Mouse!It's a strange beast, do you understand that it's a strange beast!You stupid mortals! (╯‵口′)╯︵┻━┻

Looking at the chubby in the palm of his hand, Shen Ling's eyes were filled with tenderness. He put chubby on his shoulder, turned and walked into the bathroom.

Shen Ling was willing to take a bath, and Anwen was also relieved, but he couldn't understand why someone would keep a mouse as a pet?Is this a special hobby of waifs?

Thinking that he might be in the same room with this little mouse in the future, Anwen shuddered, he shook his head, and went downstairs to get the leftover things for Shen Ling.

The bathroom is very small, only shower, hot water fell on the skin, Shen Ling finally felt a little angry.

More than half a year ago, Xiao Hei woke up on the island and didn't see his master. He frantically looked for her everywhere, but he couldn't find his master after searching for a long time.Now the only ones left on the beach are him, chubby, and the emerald dragon jade pendant that Celia wore for him, hoping that his body will recover soon.

Later, he chose to wait where he was. He believed that Celia would come back. Celia would never abandon him. She would definitely take him away as she had said before, and go to the main star of the empire that he had heard about many times. Camilla, make him her bodyguard.

During the waiting period, he ate small bugs caught in the woods by the coast, sour wild fruits picked from trees, drank stream water that was simply filtered, and slept just lying in a random place. on the ground.But since the day Celia left, he hasn't had a good night's sleep. He always thinks, if he didn't sleep so hard that night, then he must know where Celia went .

A month passed in this long wait, and his Celia did not come back.

The longer the time passes, the more hopeless emotions build up.One day, Shen Ling suddenly thought that Celia might have been taken away by bad guys.The first time he saw Celia was when Celia was being followed by bad guys. Those bad guys must have known Celia's whereabouts, so they followed them here and took his Celia away.

He couldn't wait any longer, he had to save Celia!

Shen Ling left the forest by the sea on foot and came to Xiali City.He wanted to sneak into Xiali City's terminal, and there was only one place in his mind where Celia might go, and that was Camilla, he was going to Camilla, to find Celia!

It's just that how could a city-level airport like Xiali City, whose economy has been growing steadily, be easily mixed in by a kid like Shen Ling.So every time Shen Ling entered the terminal, he was beaten up by the security guards and then turned into the police station.

Not having enough to eat and not to wear warm clothes every day, and his consciousness was muddled, Shen Ling lived a wandering life in Xiali City for several months like this.Until two days ago, he was once again turned into the police station because he broke into the terminal. The words of the old Sheriff Henry on duty finally made him give up his fearless resistance and agreed to live in an orphanage.

"I don't know why you do this, but before you realize your own ideas, let yourself grow up first. Many things can only be done when you grow up."
