Chapter 11: Come Home with Me
"It should be here, right?" Joaquin walked down the street with a travel bag, which belonged to Isabel, but the girl threw it directly on her body when she was on the subway, and never took it back, treating herself as a coolie.
After a long journey, the two finally arrived in Queens from the northern suburbs of New York, and by this time the two had returned to that familiar town. That's thanks to Katie's $10 for her support. In addition, thanks to the one-ticket transfer system.
"It's nice to experience the life of ordinary people, right?" Isabel bumped Joakin's shoulder and said with a grin. She knew Joaquin's laziness too well, and even in the mutant school, he was basically flashing around, a typical master who could lie down and never sit.
"I'm almost home." Joaquin endured Isabel's teasing and pointed to the small house in the distance.
"Home, well, I'd better go back and have a look." Isabel's original good mood slowly lowered, and her face was a little hesitant, obviously in her memory, home was not a warm place. For knocking on her door, Isabelle's heart was more afraid than expected.
"What do you see, the professor told you to take good care of me, don't think about those useless ones, let them hurt you again in the past?" Joaquin patted Isabel on the shoulder, his tone a little stiff, "Just come home with me." ”
Isabel ignored Joaquin, she took off the toad mirror on her face, hung it on the collar on her chest, her slender fingers trembled slightly, and walked towards the home she remembered. The little house has been renovated and looks like new. In the small yard in front of the door, a green lawn looks full of life.
Isabel bent slightly, stretched out her hand and opened the fence door, walking slowly, and when she was really standing in the doorway, her raised hand froze in the air, as if she did not have the courage to knock on the door. Turning his head, he looked at Joaquin with a complicated expression.
Joaquin turned his head and said nothing. Just silently accompanied her. If you follow Joaquin's idea and still watch a fart, it's better to have no such parents!
The contradiction between mutants and ordinary people is now so big that it cannot be resolved. Along the way, Joaquin once saw a street café with a banner that read, "Mutants get out of my restaurant." There are countless examples of this, and you can see all kinds of slogans to eliminate mutants everywhere, and I never imagined that in today's society, the problem of white people and colored people is no longer the only racial problem, and the racial problem between mutants and ordinary people has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
Seeing that Joaquin was hard-mouthed on the surface, but in fact refused to leave and stayed with her, Isabel was a little moved in her heart. Under the sun's rays, the girl's body was sprinkled with soft sunlight, her gorgeous blonde hair was slightly messy, and there was a hint of hesitation in her crystal eyes. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath, arranging his shirt up and down with his hands, and a charming smile on his face, showing what he thought was his most beautiful side
"Ding-dong." Isabelle's fingers dropped and she rang the doorbell.
After a while, an elderly man opened the door and looked at the young and beautiful girl in front of him with a puzzled expression: "Do you need any help?" Child? ”
"Huh?" Isabel was stunned for a moment, none of the countless pictures imagined in her mind became a reality, and she even thought that her mother or father would see her, only to leave herself with a disdainful look, and then slam the door hard. Unexpectedly, a stranger came out of the house.
"Well, sorry to bother you, but I can ask about the family that used to live here, well, the family where British immigrants came." Isabel sorted out her complicated emotions and tried to make a polite expression.
"England? Sorry, I don't know, I moved here three years ago and I don't know any English. The old man's hoarse words directly made Isabel's tear ducts collapse, her eyes instantly reddened, and a layer of mist appeared in her eyes, and in her sight, the old man's old face had been blurred, just like her memory of "home".
"Child, what's wrong with you, child? Don't cry, I've only been here for three years, maybe you should ask your neighbors, they've been living here. Trust them to have the answer, don't be so sad. You're going to find the person you're looking for, trust me. The old man whispered to Isabelle, and could probably tell what was going on. The old man, who was used to seeing parting, could only sigh silently in his heart.
"Thank you for your construction and have a great day." Isabel choked up, smiled and turned her head, covering her mouth. Even if her parents hated her, she always thought that it was her parents. Even when she knocked on the door and was greeted by disgusted glances and abusive words, she was mentally prepared. Even though the memories of her childhood are not good, she still misses her parents, she doesn't have any luxury, she just wants to see her parents. However, I never thought that they would go away silently, silently, as if they had never been their own daughter, and such damage was deeper and greater than any verbal stimulation.
It's still the golden sunshine, it's still the gorgeous blonde hair, it's just that Isabel's charming face is already covered with tears, and that pitiful appearance makes anyone who looks at it can't help but feel distressed, covering his mouth, crying and running out, hugging Joaquin's body, that force, and taking Joaquin back several steps.
Joaquin felt uncomfortable in his heart, he was also a mutant, and he felt the same for Isabelle's heart at this time, especially when he saw Isabel's tearful appearance, Jooquin's heart was furious, his voice was a little cold, and he hated iron and steel: "Since you were three years old and had the ability, they have abandoned you." What to cry about is just a matter of whether you know sooner or later. ”
"Don't you have a professor? Aren't there teachers? Isn't there still me? Cry what to do when they never save zài good! Joaquin listened to the intermittent sobbing in his ears, and remembered the little girl who sat in the back seat of the car with him five years ago and kept sobbing, "Isabel, you already have the answer in your heart, why do you torture yourself over and over again?" ”
Isabel buried her head deep in Joaquin's shoulder, tears drenching Joaquin's clothes, and the sound of sobbing made Joaquin even more distressed. Having lived through that "moment of death", Joaquin was well aware of Isabel's place in his heart. Unable to stand her appearance any longer, Joaquin picked up the injured girl in the posture of a princess and strode towards his home.
"Stop crying, come home with me." The young man's soft whisper made Isabel's body tremble.
