Chapter 253: Fulfilling Wishes or Something Really Shouldn't Be Promised
"Stop playing, kids, you have to prepare for the evening party."
The old butler came out and called out to the children who were surrounding the boy Ode.
"If you want to have a good day today."
Hearing the old butler's words, the children hurriedly ran back with Oude.
"It's coming, it's coming."
"Grandfather butler, look, Oude's leg is healed."
"Yes, Uncle Trist has brought a super powerful doctor."
The old housekeeper felt a little dazzled, and finally lifted his glasses to look at Oude standing in front of him.
Poor little guy who broke his bones not long ago.
Incredulously, he said, "It's amazing. Suddenly something came to mind: "What about the doctor?" β
"With Uncle Trist."
The old butler smiled, "I think you should invite her to dinner, shouldn't you?" to express our gratitude. β
"Yes, yes, yes."
Soon the children ran over, and before Anchen could react to what was going on, they were surrounded by groups.
There are even a few who are not afraid of life who have climbed on her.
"I, I said what are you doing?"
Anchen asked helplessly, she assured that she would not do this even against several times the number of rune soldiers.
"Sister Doctor, let's stay and have dinner together."
"Yes, it's a rare holiday."
"Let's go together, let's go together."
Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·
"Doctor, forgive me for being rude." Trist stood on the lawn and said in a funny way, "I wonder if I can invite you to dinner today." β
"I, I, got it." Anchen nodded in a panic.
"Yay!"
"Yes, yes."
"Doctor, sister, let's go get dinner."
"It's going to be delicious."
Β·Β·Β·
Knowing that a group of children were running away on their tracks, An Chen breathed a sigh of relief and slowly reacted to what they had said.
"Festival, what is today?" He looked at Trist with a depressed expression.
She has never known the customs and customs of Valoran in detail, and she basically doesn't know what festivals there are.
"Don't you know what day it is?" Trist watched the children walk away and pulled out another cigarette.
"Today?" Anchen reluctantly sat down on a bench in the shade of a tree: "November 20th? β
Ah, it's already winter, what were you doing on November 20th of last year?
Well, it looks like I'm still on a boat to Ionia.
"November 20th is right." Trist lit a cigarette for himself: "Today is Christmas Day, and legend has it that today is the day when God created the world. It is also the day of the birth of the Holy One among the human beings. β
"Dear doctor, you don't even know this."
"Phew, I doubt you're a Valoran."
It's been so long. Anchen sat on the bench and tilted his head, the sunlight passing through the gaps in the leaves, fragmented in Anchen's eyes.
It's been more than a year since she came to this world, and she still looks like she goes with the flow, and she is also contaminated with a debt that can't be washed away.
"Christmas..."
Anchen whispered as Trist stood in the shade behind her, smoking a cigarette.
A shallow cool breeze blew, carrying the corners of their clothes fluttering, and the scattered blades of grass rolled up and scattered into the air.
Christmas, this festival is also in the earth of Anchen's previous life, well, they also had this festival at that time, but the sense of the festival is not so strong, it is nothing more than the business to engage in activities, the company school has a holiday.
It's like a family needs to have a dinner or something, but there's no need for that.
Compared to Earth, Valoran's Christmas Day is much grander.
"Here we are." A few children carried the last dish in front of the large table.
This dining table was definitely the largest dining table Anchen had ever seen, and there were dozens of people eating together at the same time, and the feeling was subtle and abnormal.
"Come, let's raise a glass to celebrate the holiday and thank our doctors." Trist held the juice up, still in front of the children after all.
"Oh!"
Little hands held up with juice one after another.
"Char, the guests haven't eaten yet, and you can't catch them with your hands!"
"Grandpa, uncle, little Xidi climbed on the table."
"Eat, eat, eat."
"Wow, Miel, stop!"
Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·
The meal was very noisy, some young children ran around the table, and even some children who had just learned to climb had already climbed onto the table and made a fuss.
The boys also knocked over some things in the chase, and a few of them were already standing in the corner. The girls like to sit around and laugh together.
To be honest, it was really tiring enough to take care of the children while eating, but this lively and excessive dinner made Anchen feel bad.
After dinner, Anchen wanted to leave first, but before she could leave her seat, she was already targeted by the children.
For the children, one dinner time is enough time for them to accept you.
"Sister Doctor, tell me a story."
"yes, yes, tell me a story."
"Sciti, listen to the story."
Looking at those dozens of pairs of eyes, An Chen had a feeling that the needles were on his back.
It's just more terrifying than her killing intent.
"Uh."
She wasn't a good storyteller and scratched her cheek: "Have you heard of Santa Claus?" β
The children were silent for a moment, then shook their heads in unison: "No." β
Is there no Santa Claus in this world?
"Ahem." Anchen coughed, that's it.
"Legend has it that a long time ago on a Christmas. It was a snowy day, and the wind was so strong that it pulled at the robes of the passers-by, and the cold snowflakes made them all have to go home early.
On a snowy night, a house was lit with a yellowish fire, and a child stood by the window looking out at the snow.
Her father has not been home for more than ten days, and with such a heavy snowstorm, his father's hope of coming back is getting slimmer and slimmer.
At this time, she saw a streamer in the sky in the heavy snow, the streamer flew unfast, and when she looked closely, it was actually two reindeer with their heads running in the air, pulling a sleigh in the air.
On the sleigh sat an old man dressed in red and white with a large white beard.
Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·β
The candles in the orphanage flickered, and Anchen sat among the children telling the story of Santa Claus.
The orange-yellow ground was not lit by fire, and could barely illuminate the room at night.
Trist stood in the corner and silently lit another cigarette for himself.
He looked at the children sitting around and smiled.
ββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
It seems to be snowing outside, and the weather in Valoran, which snows in mid-November, is not uncommon.
After listening to the story, the children's eyes lit up, and they knew for the first time that Christmas would have an old man fulfill their wishes.
"Now, Sister Doctor, does Santa Claus really exist?"
"Sister Doctor?"
"It really exists, as long as you are a good boy, he will fulfill your wishes."
"I want a robot."
"Sidi wants toys."
Β·Β·Β·
Watching the children say their wishes loudly, Anchen smiled.
only to find that the eldest girl sitting in the corner was speechless.
She is the eldest child in the orphanage, who is already eleven years old, and she is usually the one who holds the decision-making power when the housekeeper and Trist are not around, so she also needs to be more mature.
"Tina, what is your wish?" An Chen asked with a smile.
Tisna looked a little nervous and grabbed her skirt, "I think, I want to go home." β
An Chen was stunned for a moment, and continued gently: "Where is your home?" β
"In Ionia." There's a bit of crying in Tisna's tone: "I know there's a war going on, but Mom and Dad are there. I want to go home and I'll be a good boy. β
An Chen's smile froze on his face.
IoniaΒ·Β·Β·
The girl with tears in her eyes made her feel like she didn't know how to face it.
She was also one of the participants in that war.
The children were silent, no one was talking, they were orphans since childhood, they were very sensible, and they just silently stayed by Desna's side.
Anchen turned his head, only to find that it was snowing outside the window, and the white snow reflected the light in the room in the deep dark night, which looked very shiny.
What should I do?
An Chen asked softly in his heart.
I don't know who I'm talking about, and I don't know what I'm asking.
Halfway through, she reached out and gently placed it on top of Desna's head.
"Yes, it will definitely happen, as long as you are a good boy."
Sure enough, children only need to be a good child, and those troublesome things will be handed over to adults.
Trist stood in the corner, listening to Ah Anchen's words, and flicked the cigarette ash thoughtfully.
It was late at night, and soon after dinner, the children all went to sleep.
When it was time for An Chen to go back, a black robe spread out from her body.
Walking quietly down the dark corridor, through the snow-covered lawn, she pushed open the door of the orphanage.
"Where are you going?" Trist's voice came from behind.
He was leaning against the railing of the orphanage, the cigarette in his mouth burning slowly in the wind and snow.
The faint smell of smoke dissipated with the wind.
"I've figured something out." An Chen's voice was flat: "It's time for me to atone for my sins." β
"If you promise someone else's things, you should do them, right?" She looked back and smiled.
"This kind of thing, only a madman would do."
Trist looked at Anchen deeply and pouted.
"That can't be helped."
An Chen said slowly, and slowly took out a mask, which was a half-broken Rakshasa mask.
The cold feeling of the mask attached to his face, and An Chen narrowed his eyes.
"Who made me crazy..."
As he spoke, in Trist's eyes, he slowly disappeared into the snowy night.
Trist took a deep puff of his cigarette and tilted his head, the smoke slowly spitting into the air.
"That's it."
"Stop the war."
