Chapter 2 (Catching Insects)

"Oh dear Gail, may the Lord bless you. It's been a long time since the kids have tasted sweet sweets! Together with Mrs. Green, the nuns took care of the orphans in the consignment. It's just that Dean Green is a little unable to support such a large orphanage. Usually ensure that the children are well fed and clothed. But more than that, it's hard to do. Candy is a good thing that can only be found at Christmas. The price, indeed, is Mrs. Green's heirloom jewels.

Gale didn't quite understand why Mrs. Green would rather sell what she had passed down to feed her group of people than close the orphanage. But as one of the beneficiaries of this behavior, Gail doesn't say much, just does something in some small place.

At the end of dinner, everyone was given a candy. Although Mrs. Green, who led everyone in prayer, had a stern face, something flashed in her eyes. There is the surprise of seeing candy, the joy of seeing children eating candy, and some self-blame.

Gail raised an eyebrow and said nothing, still keeping his head down and biting on the dry bread. He has been eating this food for 7 years, and he is numb. Fortunately, because of the orphanage's financial constraints, there was no haggis or anything like that. Otherwise, he would have vomited at this group of Britons!

Finally, at the end of the day, Gail had time to read his book in his little room. Because he couldn't turn on the lights to increase his electricity bill, Gail also learned to gather a slightly bluish ball of white light in mid-air. After getting used to the ball of light, Gale was a little unaccustomed to the dim lights in the orphanage. Because the ball of light condensed by Gale is closer to the incandescent lamp of the 21st century.

Time is in Gail's memorization of the meridian acupuncture point map→ Gail tries to let his ability travel along the meridians→ so that this ability forms a concentrated mass and returns to his little belly, that is, the dantian→ which is really useful to do so, and the process of the energy mass starting to grow bigger and thicker gradually passes.

Gail loves the feeling of letting power run through his body. And after this kind of power became more and more obedient, and more and more and more savings were accumulated in his dantian, Gail became more and more sure that he must have entered the urban cultivation mode! This is the rhythm of Susu Su right away!

"Gail, why are you getting the predicate and the adverbial wrong again?" Gale looked at the nun teacher who taught grammar with a straight face on him, and felt that the "Sususu" feeling he had before must be an illusion.

"And your spelling is also a little wrong!" The nun saw Gale bow her head with a "I was wrong" expression, and finally softened her stern voice, but finally asked Gale to copy the correct sentence twenty times.

Gail received the punishment with a teachable face and returned to the classroom, thinking that copying 20 times was really a lot. When he was in elementary school in his previous life, he was rarely punished, but he had seen the entire scroll of paper copied 50 or even 100 times.

In fact, the nuns also have a headache. Gail is really a very smart kid and a quick learner. But there are always mistakes in grammar and spelling, and I don't know what to ask them to say.

But as a person who has spoken Chinese for decades, Gail's language habits cannot be changed overnight. Now, after 7 years, Gail can listen and speak fluently, except for the occasional spelling mistakes and reversal of word order, which is not easy.

In the afternoon, Gale and the others said that they were going out to play, but the nun and the dean's wife knew that the children had gone to do the work. Mrs. Green had stopped her before, but unfortunately it didn't work. So she visited the families who hired the children one by one, hoping that the employers would take more care of the children. The helplessness in it always makes Gail feel a little sad.

There seems to be a new family moving in the block, a family of four surnamed Evans. The couple has a pair of daughters and seems to be a very kind family. After learning about the situation of the orphanage in the neighborhood, he also asked a child to mow the lawn of his own family, which did not need to be mowed at all. Sometimes a pie or something is given to the children who come to trim.

Children can clearly distinguish between good and evil, so everyone loves the people in the neighborhood. Although some people are a bit mean, most of them are kind to a group of big-eyed children. The Evans family is one of them.

"My name is Lily, and you're an orphan at Grimm Orphanage, right?" A red-haired, green-eyed girl asked Gail with a big smile.

The corners of Gail's mouth twitched when he heard such a question. Well, this girl wants to show kindness. But the words that come out are really poignant, aren't they?

Although Gail doesn't care much about his orphan status, it's really a little uncomfortable for this girl to say it so aggressively.

"Lily! Come back! Gail heard another voice coming. When I turned my head, I saw a small brown hair head poking out of the second-floor window of Evans's house.

Lily also turned her gaze, and when she saw the other party, she waved happily: "Penny! This is my new friend! Let's play too! ”

When did I become friends with you? Gail was surprised by Lily's familiarity, and looked at Lily with round eyes.

The girl named Penny saw that Lily had not returned, and immediately disappeared from the window. After a while, he ran to the two of them out of breath and took Lily's hand: "Come back with me!" The teacher said don't talk to strangers! ”

"But he's not a stranger! He's from Grimm Orphanage and is my friend! Lily said stubbornly, taking Gail's hand with her other hand that wasn't being held by Penny.

Gail watched Lily hold his hand, sighed, and spoke, "Hello, I'm Gail, Gail Green. You must be Lily Evans and Penny Evans. ”

"Hey! You see, Gail is a good boy with good manners! Lily smirked at Penny.

Penny's face became even more ugly: "Don't say the word 'hey'!" This is rude! Also, you have to go home with me! When she turned her head to look at Gail, Penny looked a little less guarded.

"I think Penny is right, Lily. You know, the children in our orphanage will take care of themselves on their own. But there are still a lot of orphans out there, and they are not like us. In order to eat, there will be theft and robbery. Lily, you and Penny seem to be good and kind girls, and if you just hold something that looks good, but is actually very bad, you will be hurt. Penny is afraid you'll get hurt, right? ”

Gail's words made Penny's face better: "Lily, listen to what he says. Come back with me! ”

"But Gail is good, isn't he?" Lily persistently asked.

"Yes, I'm good." "Yes, he's good, he should." Penny and Gail answer Lily at the same time, making Lily's smile even brighter.

Penny, with Gail's cooperation, was able to bring Lily home. Before leaving, Penny whispered, "Forgive me for my faux pas." ”

Well, it's just a good girl who broke her heart for her sisters. The use of grammar is also beautiful. The phrase "forgive me for my faux pas" sounds like an apology in French, but it's so elegant! Gail watched as the two sisters went back to the house, stroked their hair, and went back to the next family to clear the fence.

While busy with the work in his hands, while using his own strength to remove some difficult stains without a trace, Gail felt that the names of the two sisters just now were really familiar. However, Evans is a very common surname in the UK, and Lily and Penny are also very common names. So, it's just an illusion. So Gail put the "aura" in his body into operation again, and worked while "cultivating".

Because of this, Gail, who has a big heart, once again missed the opportunity to learn the truth about this world.

Penny is a good girl overall. Compared with her sister, who is always smiling brightly, she prefers to read quietly alone. Although he is always wary of people, most of the things he does are really right in the eyes of Gael, a man with an adult soul.

Lily is very lively and lovely, and this energy and enthusiasm comes from loving her parents. Because of the comparison with a sister like Penny, who is a little cold to people, Lily is basically the little angel in everyone's heart.

Gail, who has experienced a little life experience in his life, is really not used to this kind of enthusiasm, so he is always a little uncomfortable with Lily's closeness.

"Good afternoon! Penny! Gail, who was mowing the lawn in the afternoon, greeted Penny, who was sitting under the porch reading a book.

Petunia replied in the same way, "Good afternoon, Gail." Well, after a little half a month of getting along, Penny finally stopped being guarded, obviously classifying Gail into the category of "safe to socialize".

After saying hello, Gale lowered his head to tidy up the fence for Evans' house. The warm afternoon breeze was comfortable, and Gail decided to do something for Evans' house. He escaped from his pocket and sprinkled a handful of seeds under the fence.

"Gail, what's that?" Penny couldn't help but ask curiously when she saw Gail's movements.

"This? This is lemongrass, I got it from the flower shop owner. He said that this thing has a repellent effect on some bugs. You know, summer is coming, and there are always a lot of mosquitoes. ”

"If you plant them, won't there be mosquitoes?" Penny closed the book and walked over to Gail to see him plant the seed—
