"'Grimm's Fairy Tales'......" Mrs. Grimm murmured my name, her expression was both delighted and surprised, and she was a little stunned for a moment.

"'Grimm's fairy tales'? It's fantastic! Sanny looked at me in surprise, and then grabbed Mrs. Green's arm, and couldn't contain her excitement between her words, "It's really nice, isn't it......"

I smiled, but my tone was very serious, "Because I want these children to live in a fairytale-like world, away from all darkness and misfortune, and this fairytale-like world is supported by you......" I looked at Mrs. Green, and said sincerely: "Mrs. Green, you are the salvation of these children's lives, an incomparable existence in their young hearts, you have saved them from the darkness of life, and supported their hope in life, Mrs. Green, your behavior is very admirable." ”

"Lingering ......" In an instant, Mrs. Green's emotions fluctuated a little, and her tone trembled, and she looked at me, as if she wanted to say something, but she couldn't say a word.

I realized, took a step forward, smiled and hugged her.

I could feel her old body trembling slightly, and after a while, she hugged me tightly.

"Wow, is it true!"

"Great!"

……

The children had all crowded in, and when they heard the good news, they couldn't help but jump up and applaud and cheer, and in an instant the whole room boiled.

"What is it that makes you so happy to hear you celebrating from afar?" In the midst of the bustle, a voice suddenly interjected, and I let go of Mrs. Green, and looked at the door, where the person who came seemed strange to me.

When the other party saw me, they were obviously taken aback. Surprised: "Miss Fu? ”

I looked at the slightly blessed lady in front of me, and she knew me? But I can't remember where I saw her.

"Do you know each other?" Mrs. Green looked at the two of us in surprise.

She smiled warmly at me, "Yes, Miss Fu, don't you remember, I'm Mrs. Brownie." A year and a half ago, you adopted Nik from us. ”

The faint memory was suddenly magnified, and I couldn't help but be surprised, and I followed the impression and said casually: "You are Mrs. Brownie, Mrs. Brownie in the orphanage in London?" ”

"Aha, it's me. Miss Fu, long time no see. Mrs. Bronny nodded, her eyes narrowing with laughter because of the fortune. Speaking of which, it's been so long, how is Nik? ”

Before I could reply, Mrs. Green looked at me, and the surprise in her words surprised me, "Did you adopt Nik?" It is...... Bella's grandson, Nik? ”

"yes," Mrs. Brownie nodded. "I remember Nik was very withdrawn and barely spoke. I don't want to play with other children, and I fight with people at every turn, but what I didn't expect was that Miss Fu was able to convince him, I remember when Miss Fu brought him to go through the adoption procedures, he actually became well-behaved and obedient......"

Some couldn't wait to interrupt Mrs. Brownie's recollections. Mrs. Green's voice was filled with urgent questioning, "It's just...... How did you adopt Nik? ”

"Because of Bella." I tugged at the corners of my mouth lightly, feeling slightly astringent, "When Bella passed away, I heard Bella say that Nik only has one relative. I didn't want a 11-year-old child to be left alone and deprived of the warmth of my family, so I found out Nik's whereabouts and wanted to compensate him as much as I could. ”

"Because Bella?" Mrs. Green repeated my words, "Then you and Bella are ......"

I smiled, "Bella is my old housekeeper, but she has taken care of me for many years, just like my loved ones." From the time I was very young, she was like my grandmother and always accompanied me. ”

"I see," Mrs. Green said thoughtfully, "I remember when we first met you said you were Bella's relative, and I mistakenly thought you were lying, because I know that many years ago, Bella's only relative in this world was Nik," she looked at me lovingly, "I misunderstood you, child......"

There was a hint of bitterness at the corners of my lips, but I couldn't help but lower my eyes, but even Bella's only relative, Nik, I can't take care of it now.

Then Mrs. Green suddenly took my hand, "Follow me, child." ”

I was a little surprised, but I still followed her footsteps and walked slowly out the door.

Stepping down each ancient and empty staircase, Mrs. Green led me to a room on the top floor, the door of which was sealed with a thick iron lock that looked as if it had not been opened for a long time.

Lady Green trembled and took a slightly longer key from her waist and unlocked the door, and the ancient, heavy wooden door slowly opened, creaking in the silence.

She pulled me into the room, where a cabinet stood alone in the corner of the room.

Mrs. Green opened the locked cabinet door and took out a square box less than half a meter high, and her weathered right hand slowly stroked the top of the box as if in memory of a friend.

After a few moments, Mrs. Green handed me the box, "Son, that's all Bella has left behind. ”

I took it, looked at the box in amazement, and then at Mrs. Green.

She stared at the box, and her voice brought out the vicissitudes of life, "Bella lived here before the accident, it was also the last time of her life, those days, I could see that she had some bad premonitions in her heart, but she didn't say anything, even these things, she was left here after she was taken away that night, and then I put them away, maybe because the incident happened suddenly that night, she didn't deliberately leave me anything, so I don't know anything about the reason for her accident......"

I stared at the box in my hand wordlessly, and my heart was chaotic with complexities that I couldn't figure out.

"Although Bella didn't let me know anything, I can guess that the reason behind her accident is not so simple," Mrs. Green sighed, "So when you ask me if I know Bella, I'm afraid that the person who killed Bella will come to me, and I'm afraid that there will be trouble, so I pretend I don't know...... However, it has been quiet all these years, and no suspicious people have been found, maybe because they have killed Bella, even if Bella's evidence is left behind, it is not enough for them to be afraid, right? ”

"But Mrs. Green, why don't you doubt me?" I looked at her with a straight gaze, "Why do you believe that I wasn't the one who killed Bella?" Believe me, didn't I do all this to gain your trust in exchange for something that might be evidence? ”

She chuckled softly, "Kid, you won't. ”

Looking at my bewildered gaze, Mrs. Green smiled very gently and amiably, "Although I am old, I am not old and dizzy, you are a kind child, I can see that you really care for these orphans, how can a child with compassion and love kill people?" What's more, you also adopted Nik......"

"So, what if I'm actually trying to take Nik out of the orphanage and eradicate the grass in the name of adopting him?" I continued, "After all, Mrs. Brownie hasn't seen Nik since he was adopted by me. ”

Mrs. Green actually giggled, "Ruori, are you really old and confused?" Adopting a child in a London orphanage requires a strict legal process, and the adopter needs to show his or her valid documents and fill in personal information, so instead of going to the trouble of forging a fake identity, why not kill Nik secretly? What's more, if you're the one who killed Bella, then why didn't you come to me earlier, and didn't show up until a year and a half later? This is one of the reasons why I have dispelled my doubts about you. ”

I nodded, and couldn't help but admire, "Mrs. Green, your mind is really meticulous and your mind is also very wise. ”

"I dare not be meticulous and wise," she smiled, "but I have lived for such an age, and I still have some ability to read and recognize people, and I will take off my guard against you, the most fundamental reason is actually because of you, because of your character," she looked at me, her eyes shining with sincerity, "Ruori, because you are really a kind child." ”

Looking at Mrs. Green's sincere gaze, the corners of my mouth gradually faded into a smile.

"But Mrs. Green, I have a question for you." I said.

"Oh, you say?"

"Since you know that Nik will be homeless after Bella's death, why didn't you adopt Nik yourself and have him adopted by an orphanage in London?"

"This, in fact, is out of my personal selfishness." The corners of her mouth were smiling, and she said slowly: "The conditions in this orphanage have always been very difficult, you know, the situation back then was even worse than now, not to mention education, the children can only live on a few pieces of bread and a little rice soup every day, I really can't bear to follow me to live like this, so I sent him to the London orphanage and handed him over to Mrs. Brownie, first, Nik can live better, and second, because the London orphanage is a government agency and is very formal, So a lot of people choose to go there to adopt a child, but rarely come here, so Nik has a better chance of finding a happy family when he stays there. ”

"I see." I nodded.

"Good child," Mrs. Green stepped forward, her dead tree-like palm brushing my cheek very gently, her eyes shining softly, "you must be careful. ”

I was amazed, what a discerning old man, she saw that I bothered to get Bella's relics, and she must have guessed that I wanted to find out the cause of Bella's death and then avenge her.

I nodded, looking back at her with a sudden seriousness, "Don't worry. ”

But there is no more to say. (To be continued......)
