Is it the one who came to adopt a child again?
Lilixia thought to herself. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The aristocracy of this world does not look hateful, at least the adopted children will come back from time to time.
Ten minutes later, Lilixia was released.
was taken downstairs by Mama, the children who hadn't woken up were still rubbing the corners of their eyes, and the children were gathered together, a group of girls, a group of boys.
Both boys and girls looked at Lilixia with vigilance and fear.
Children who do bad things are locked up in the attic, and Mama doesn't allow them to play with bad children.
Lilixia didn't bother with those children, she hadn't slept all night, she just felt very sleepy.
I found a place for myself, leaning my head against the pillar and intending to sleep.
The old lady and the dean didn't pay much attention to her, and went up to talk to the two guests.
The people who came were two women.
The older one walking in front was white-haired and red-eyed, wearing a black dress.
Looking cold, the other girl behind her was already squatting and chatting with the children.
She has long, slightly curly pink hair, the same pink pupils, and long eyelashes that give a fluttering feeling.
It doesn't look big, not over 20 years old.
At this time, all disobedient boys will pretend to be obedient, although they are still young, but they are still very sweet when they have a beautiful big sister, not to mention the sweet-looking pink-haired sister.
The pink-haired girl immediately mingled with the children, who bowed their heads in front of her and pinched the hem of their skirts, and the boys circled around her.
The dazed feeling that the children had just woken up immediately dissipated and began to make noise.
Lilixia continued to sleep unconcernedly.
The white-haired woman didn't know what to say to the dean.
The two parties seemed to have negotiated the terms, the dean and the old lady walked out of the church, and found a group of people in black uniforms who looked like soldiers outside the door, the old lady's frightened legs were weak, and the dean was also full of consternation, and then the two were asked to leave.
Only a group of children and those two people were left in the room.
The white-haired woman and the pink-haired girl looked at each other.
The pink-haired girl stood up and walked over to the white-haired woman as the children watched.
"Boys and girls stand separately, from the lowest to the tallest." The white-haired woman said in a commanding tone.
The children began to get agitated, they did not understand what this command meant.
"Good boys have to be obedient, stand in line." The pink-haired girl said with her hands behind her back, looking closer.
Lilixia leaned her head against the pillar as if she hadn't heard, and it had nothing to do with her.
The white-haired woman also seemed to ignore her.
The children are not soldiers, and after causing a lot of commotion, they reluctantly lined up, waiting for the white-haired woman's next sentence.
"Which of you fights the most?" Unexpected problem.
Some of the boys looked at Connor, who was the king of the children, and Connor snorted at Lilixia, and the boys all looked at Lilixia who was leaning against the pillar and pretending to sleep.
The pink-haired girl stepped forward.
"Are you the best of them to fight?" The pink-haired girl asked, crouching in front of Lilixia.
The air seemed to freeze, and the boys felt as if Lilixia had fallen asleep and would not bother with the pink-haired girl's question anymore, and the kind girls were worried about Lilixia, and a strange atmosphere permeated the air.
Lilixia slowly opened her eyes and glanced at the person in front of her.
"Who are you?" Lilixia didn't react at all like a girl of her age.
The pink-haired girl snorted and laughed.
Lilixia seemed to be asking an ordinary stranger what your name was, completely oblivious to the strange atmosphere.
"Sofio."
"Lilixia."
"Then her name is Tia." continued.
The pink-haired girl smiled like a flower, took Lilixia's little hand, and brought her to the children, without sending her into the girls' ranks.
"Ahem." Tia coughed lightly and motioned for Sophio not to say too much.
Sofio fumbled for something in the pocket of her skirt and pulled out a silver glittering coin.
On the front is a hooded man holding a cross staff, which is the Pope, and on the back is a concentric gear.
This is a silver coin.
"Money?" Lilixia reached out to grab it, she hadn't seen a silver coin above the copper coin.
Sofio shrank back, "Do you want it?" ”
Lilixia nodded and stepped forward.
"Let's play a game, then." Sofio turned to the children, "You can also participate." ”
"The rules of the game are, I toss this coin, and you guess heads or tails." After speaking, Sofio confirmed that the children understood this simple rule at once, and showed the coin to the children a little, "The gear is the head, and the person is the tail." ”
"Good! Begin! ”
Sofio flicked his finger and the coin spun and flapped
"Positive!"
"Gears!"
"People!"
The boys loved the game and shouted excitedly, staring at the coins, and some of the girls shouted boldly.
"In the middle."
The girl's lips in front of Sofio were lightly raised, and her rare black pupils stared at her tightly, not looking at the coin.
Lilixia stepped forward again, as if throwing herself into Sophio's arms, grabbing her wrist.
"In the middle!"
He shouted more firmly.
Sophio's hand reaching out to catch the coin was held down by Lilixia.
The spinning coin in the air, after reaching its highest point, began to fall, and landed on the ground, without a crisp crashing sound, and got stuck in the gap of the stone bricks, where Lilixia's feet had been stepping on before.
There was a burst of amazement among the children, Sofio's eyes widened at Lilixia, and Tia looked at Lilixia a few more times.
The boys started to heckle and complain that it wasn't fair, that they were going to reguess, that Lilixia was too cunning, and so on.
"Quiet!" Tia let out a soft snort, and the boys immediately fell silent.
Suddenly there was silence, and suddenly there was a loud bang.
Bang dang!
The iron doors of the church were rudely opened, and the black-clad soldiers seemed to rush into the chapel like a torrent, surrounding the children.
"Take it away." Tia went first.
Sofio picked up the coin on the ground, pressed it into Lilixia's palm, and whispered goodbye.
The black-clad soldiers took the children.
A few disobedient boys were unceremoniously kicked a few times, and the boys immediately became honest, and the girls were very well-behaved.
Outside the church, it is not known when dozens of limousines appeared.
Lilixia watched as the two men got into one of the limousines and were taken by the soldiers into several other limousines.
The children were escorted into black limousines and no one knew where they would be sent.
Or hell, or heaven.
