Chapter 1317: Childish Words
At this point, the wolf began to think in his heart: What should I do to swallow Little Red Riding Hood and Grandma in my stomach?
Hugo told the story vividly, while Fokine, who was wearing a hood, stood in front of the big tree, constantly turning in circles to indicate that he was "thinking", but he turned in too many circles, and he didn't stand firmly, and leaned back, which scared the volunteers next to him, but he didn't expect the children to burst into laughter because of this accident.
Luckily, Forgin pulled the backdrop and managed to stand firm.
Hugo looked at the smiling children in front of him, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw Pedro hurrying over, he patted Neil on the shoulder who was standing in the back row, Neil looked back and saw that it was Pedro, and frowned. At this point, Pedro looked a little sloppy, his shirt was messily tucked into his belt, one of the buttons was wrong, and the shirt was completely wrinkled, and a smoky gray blazer could still see a little red wine stains, and his hair was not fully combed.
However, Hugo did not have time to look at Pedro in detail, the performance still had to continue, and he turned his attention to the story again. Until the end, "Little Red Riding Riding Hood lived happily ever after with her grandmother...... Do you think that's the case? Of course not! When Little Red Riding Hood grew up, she learned the hunting skills from hunters and became a good hunter. ”
The children were stunned when the story was reversed, and after Hugo finished the story, they all shouted "continue, continue", and the atmosphere was very lively.
However, the nurse who was standing next to her and was in charge of supervision did not dare to relax at all, lest there be problems with children during today's activities. Fortunately, the whole storytelling session ended smoothly, and when Hugo took the actors onto the stage, the children excitedly cheered their hands.
But the children didn't have much strength, and some children couldn't even applaud, and the applause at the scene seemed a little sparse, but the volunteers took the lead in applauding, which made the scene lively. However, this qiē does not matter, because the laughter of the children is the best reward.
The fairy tale is just one part of it, and there will be different interactive sessions at a while, and Hugo brought a guitar today, not to perform and sing, but to sing nursery rhymes with the children. For this matter, Hugo also went to look through the scores of many traditional American children's songs and did a little understanding.
Of course, there are also some interactive games, but since most of the children are not able to exercise vigorously - or even move, it is up to the volunteers to set the mood and let the children really feel the childhood they have lost due to illness.
Hugo hurriedly took a look at Pedro, and couldn't help frowning, "You had another crazy night last night, right?" He didn't smell the wine, but Pedro's wheat-colored skin had obviously lost its luster, and at a glance he could tell that he hadn't slept well last night, and his eyes were a little dull.
Pedro laughed, "I'm sorry, my fault, my fault." Say, what do I need to do? ”
"Just follow Neil, we're going to start playing games in a while, we need to bring up the atmosphere and then interact with the kids." Hugo said simply, looking at Neil who was standing aside with a stern face, Hugo patted Neil on the shoulder, "Now the children are the most important, and I will settle accounts with him when I go back if I am late." Then he walked over and got busy.
Neil is clearly unhappy with Pedro's late arrival, which is also due to his personality, and as a captain who has been honored to death, he also needs to manage the discipline of the band. However, he also knew that Hugo's words were correct, that today's protagonists were children, and that everything else needed to be put on the back burner for the time being.
Neil took a deep breath, "You go to the locker room first, Fokine is there, and then come out quickly." ”
The progress of the charity activities was very smooth, although Pedro was late, but he quickly entered the state, his personality was originally easy-going and outgoing, and in the blink of an eye, he became one with the children, but Neil and Fokine were both a little overwhelmed in front of the children and did not know how to deal with the children.
The hour-long interactive activity came to an end, and the children couldn't stay outside for too long, and they couldn't be active for too long, so today's activity was over.
Hugo said goodbye to the children one by one, and one of the children asked Hugo with wide eyes, "Are you really a police officer?" Survey? Hugo didn't react for a moment, and listened to the child explain, "I went to the cinema with my mother last year to watch a movie, and you saved a whole bus of people on it, you are really a police officer." Survey? ”
It seems that it is "the speed of life and death", Hugo was dumbfounded for a while, and he didn't know how to explain the actor's work to the child, so he could only change the topic and say, "You envy the police." Survey? The little boy nodded vigorously, and Hugo gently rubbed the child's arm with his thumb, "Then when you grow up, try to become a police officer." How's it going? ”
"Can I be like you?" The boy stared at Hugo with those watery eyes, and the hope in his pupils made Hugo sad for a while, but he couldn't express it, but showed a bright smile, "You are not as good as me, I believe you will be better and more powerful than me." ”
"Oh yes! I'm going to be even better than Jack! The little boy shook his little fist, smiled on his face, ran over on his little legs, ran towards the nurse who cared for him, and excitedly boasted, "Lady Horton, Jack tells me that I will grow up to be even better than him!" ”
The nurse, surnamed Horton, turned to look at Hugo, gave Hugo a friendly smile, and then gently stroked the little boy's head, "I believe you can too." ”
Looking at the big smile on the boy's face, if you ignore the dripping wounds on his arms, if you ignore the gauze around his neck, he looks no different from other children. The boy's beautiful smile made the midday sun dim.
"Hugo, will Nick really be better than you when he grows up?" A voice came from behind her, Hugo looked back, and it was little Jenny, who was still sitting quietly in her wheelchair, her left hand gently turning the windmill tied to the wheelchair, and the nurse pushed her wheelchair and explained with a smile, "She insisted on saying goodbye to you, saying thank you." ”
Hugo half-squatted and turned around and looked at little Jenny's emerald green eyes, although little Jenny still had a bright smile on her face, but she couldn't hide the tiredness on her face. It can be seen that although she had a lot of fun just now, her body can't support it anymore, and that fragile body makes it so difficult.
"What, you don't believe it?" Hugo suppressed his inner thoughts, and said with a smile, looking at little Jenny's sly smile, the corners of Hugo's mouth rose high, "Actually, Nick is better than me now, what I am most afraid of is taking medicine, every time I think of medicine so bitter, I want to cry." ”
Hugo's vivid expression made little Jenny laugh, "Then your mother must be very troubled, you are always reluctant to take medicine." ”
Hugo paused, but he didn't explain, but nodded, "That's why I think Nick is better than me now." I think there was a little girl named Jenny who was also better than me, and she had the brightest smile in the world, which made me envious. ”
Little Jenny couldn't stop laughing, but because she laughed too hard, she coughed instead, and the weak body made Hugo suddenly scramble, and the nurse standing behind also quickly squatted down to check, but Little Jenny shook her head and whispered, "I'm fine." ”
Little Jenny looked at the worry on Hugo and the nurse's faces, a weak smile was drawn on the corner of her mouth, and she quietly looked into Hugo's eyes, and then whispered, "I'm sorry, my body is always bad, making my mother worry and worrying you." ”
The child is so sensitive, even the subtle expressions on the faces of Hugo and the nurse were captured, which made the smile on the corner of Hugo's mouth bloom again, "I think your smile is the best healing agent, I feel extremely happy now, I think your mother must be the same." ”
Hugo's words made little Jenny lower her head a little shyly, then looked at the nurse, then at Hugo, and said hesitantly, "Hugo, can I give you a kiss?" ”
"Absolutely!" Hugo looked at the hesitation and hesitation on Little Jenny's face, without any pause, and answered directly, but after speaking, he realized that Little Jenny's body was not sure whether it was suitable for moving, and subconsciously looked at the nurse. The nurse nodded her chin slightly and replied in the affirmative. Only then did Hugo relax.
Hugo fell to his knees, then supported the armrests of the wheelchair with his hands, avoided the windmill, and cautiously approached little Jenny, and lightly imprinted a kiss on her thin and pale cheeks, and his lips could even feel the cold skin of little Jenny. Then Hugo closed his eyes and leaned his cheek in, and little Jenny lifted her chin with difficulty and kissed Hugo gently on the cheek. The fluttering touch was as if a dandelion had lingered on its cheeks for a moment and then drifted away with the wind.
Hugo remained motionless in his position, allowing little Jenny's kiss to linger a little longer, a little longer. But Hugo felt that little Jenny gently left his cheek, and without waiting for Hugo to leave, he whispered in Hugo's ear, "Dear Hugo, am I going to die?" ”
These words made Hugo's body stiffen directly, and he stepped back slightly with difficulty, looking at little Jenny's emaciated face, wondering if he had heard it wrong, and subconsciously made a questioning voice, "Oh? ”
Little Jenny quietly looked at Hugo's amber eyes, those emerald green eyes were covered with a thin layer of mist, "Hugo, am I going to die?" ”
The midday wind was blowing softly, and the rainbow windmill in Jenny's wheelchair was spinning gently, but Hugo didn't know how to answer the question.
