0849 Monster in the eyes of a child
The temperature in November mornings is a bit low, due to the difference between indoor and outdoor temperatures, a layer of white fog rises on the glass windows, and the children have a good night's sleep, and the first thing they do when they wake up is to write and draw on the windows with their fingers.
A child stretched, looked at the white mist on the window, and grinned and stretched out his finger to draw a five-pointed star.
The nuns had not yet come to wake them up, and he was content to admire his masterpiece, enjoying the tranquility of the moment he had just woken up.
Looking at it, he seemed to see a strange figure appear on the five-pointed star he had drawn.
Who was that? He tilted his head, raised his hand to wipe the pentagram away, and the mist from the window was wiped away, and he saw a man, someone he had never seen before.
"Everyone, come and see! a beautiful big sister is here!" he was pleasantly surprised and beckoned his friends to come and see, everyone was curious by him, and gathered in twos and threes.
"Wow, is that a new nun?"
"She's so special, her hair is black, it's the first time I've seen my sister with black hair. ”
"She's weird-looking, not like us, but I think she's better looking than Sister Nina. ”
"I feel it too, I think it too!"
The children were talking curiously, and Tom in the corner opened his eyes quietly, and when he heard everyone's noise, he glanced at his brow dissatisfiedly.
He sat up from the bed, got dressed without hurry, got out of bed, and walked towards the window.
He had only taken two steps before he stopped again, turned his head to look at the bedside table, stared at the gloves for a second, walked back, hid the gloves in the quilt with the funny mouse doll, and then continued to walk towards the window.
When the children saw him coming, the noisy chatter immediately subsided, and they scattered to both sides, looking at him with fear and disgust.
Tom was used to seeing himself like this, and he even glanced at them triumphantly, and saw that they were so frightened that they stepped back, and the corners of his mouth slowly hooked.
A bunch of timid and disgusting sewer rats!
He withdrew his gaze faintly, looked at the wiped window, and caught a glimpse of the man in the garden, his pupils narrowing sharply.
Something exploded in his heart, he couldn't tell whether he was happy or hated, he was a little repulsed, but he couldn't help but feel a little curious.
Why did she come? Is it because of him?
Oh, because of him, he almost forgot that she was a psychiatrist.
Tao Bao, is that very curious...... How would you react when you knew that the hand you held last night was stained with disgusting red pulp.
The smile on Tom's lips slowly increased, and a hint of interest flashed in his gloomy gaze.
With a "squeak", the door was opened, and Sister Nina, who had been spoken by the boys before, walked in, her eyebrows and eyes raised in the sky, with a bit of fierceness.
When the children saw her coming, they lined up and stood up, and then looked at Tom, who was still looking at the garden downstairs from the window.
The children longed for adults to take care of this terrifying monster. It's a pity that Nina was really a little stunned of him, so she just shouted: "Get dressed, fold your quilt, and go downstairs to gather for breakfast, by the way, the yard will announce a good news in a while, so it's best for everyone to move faster." ”
With that, she turned and went downstairs. From beginning to end, he didn't dare to look at the ten-year-old boy by the window.
But even so, she stumbled on the way downstairs.
Hearing her exclamation in the stairwell, Tom by the window lowered his head and evoked a penetrating smile.
When the children heard Nina's whisper, their hearts tightened, and they scattered to get dressed and clean up the quilt, and in a few moments Tom was the only one left in the room.
He looked at the empty room and smiled disdainfully. He looked out the window again, and then slowly walked out of the room and went downstairs.
Not surprisingly, he saw her in the dining room. He didn't bother to say hello to her, glanced at her, then withdrew his gaze and walked straight to his seat.
The breakfast director is allotted, and every child's breakfast is the same, the larger ones will be given an extra piece of bread, and the smaller ones will be given half a piece less, and every child can eat enough.
There are three nuns, one is responsible for the livestock in the corner of the garden, one is responsible for the children's food and clothing, and the other is the head of the dormitory, who is responsible for all the chores of the children in the orphanage.
The dean is usually responsible for praying for the children.
The children were used to praying before the meal, and after sitting down, they consciously did not move the food first, but waited for the dean to sit down as well, and said, "Children, let's start." Then we prayed together and then started eating.
Tao Bao sat next to the dean, following the local customs, and she also held hands and prayed with everyone.
But her mind kept looking out at Tom in the corner, two seats away from everyone.
He also closed his eyes and prayed, and his mouth recited the prayer with the dean, which seemed normal.
In front of adults, he seems to be very "well-behaved".
After praying, the dean announced Tao Bao's arrival, and everyone began to eat. The children were excited to learn that classes were going to reopen, and after eating, they went back to pack their textbooks.
Only Tom finished his breakfast unhurriedly and then went back to prepare his textbooks.
By the time Tao Bao came to class, the children had already sat down in their seats, set up their textbooks, and were waiting for her arrival with joy.
Teaching is no problem for Tao Bao, the children are very well-behaved, there are no naughty students, and everyone gets along very happily in the morning's teaching.
In the afternoon, Tao Bao arranged a physical education class, planning to let the children go out and move more. After explaining the afternoon lessons, the morning lessons ended perfectly.
There was nothing wrong with Tom all morning except that he was relatively silent.
But it's because it's too right, it's wrong. He is very good at playing a well-behaved role in front of adults, so that adults can't catch any mistakes.
But in private, the children are afraid of him, and no child will play with him.
He didn't seem to mind, and after lunch, he sat alone on the steps in the back garden in a daze.
Tao Bao left the enthusiastic children and drove them back to their rooms for a nap, and then came to the dean's room.
As if he had expected her return, the dean was not very surprised, and after inviting her to sit down, he spoke first:
"Kid, do you want to ask Tom something?"
Tao Bao noticed that when she said the word Tom, her tone was helpless, and it was clear that Tom was giving her a headache.
Tao Bao nodded, and said in a low voice: "I am indeed a little curious, why are the children rejecting him, did he do something?"
"He ......" the dean opened his head, and finally turned into a sigh, waved his hand and turned the topic directly to the children's learning progress.
