Chapter 305: The Strange Boy
The will of the world has arranged the trajectory of fate for everyone, and one by one seemingly coincidental events reveal an unusual atmosphere.
Just as danger is approaching Bhapa. Coincidentally, the night sky was suddenly overcast, and thick clouds gathered and condensed, followed by a drifting rain.
"Damn the weather! How could it suddenly rain so heavily! Ocasso cursed.
Even if Okaso, a high-level werewolf, had a keen sense of smell, under the influence of the downpour, he still temporarily lost Bapa. Traces of Midnay.
Marcile and Spiro glanced at each other, and they also saw helplessness in each other's eyes. The only clue to the location of the target was the first to be taken by a bounty hunter who suddenly appeared, and if he couldn't complete the mission, the anger of the adult was not something that he could afford to bear.
Marcile turned to Spiro and asked, "Lord Spiro, is there any way you can track down this bounty hunter?" ”
Spiro shook his head helplessly, "It seems that this bounty hunter is not simple, there is nothing left on the scene, and without his personal things, I can't use the 'Soul Chaser' to track his traces." ”
Helplessly, Marcile reluctantly glanced at Ocasso, who had his hands in his trouser pockets, and the rain hit the smooth skull, which looked ridiculous. "Yours? Lord Okaso, what can you do? ”
"I can only wait for the rain to stop, and now the heavy rain has blocked the smell, but after the rain stops, I can still smell a little bit." Okaso replied.
The three of them could only cling to the eaves on the side of the road, waiting for this damn rain to stop.
The sudden storm blew the window screens of the room, and the paper that was pressed on the table was lifted by the wind. Berdon's birth materials were pasted on Bappa. Midnay's face.
In his sleep, he dreamed of his frantically fleeing Bappa. Midnay felt his face tighten, as if he was about to suffocate. Desperately tearing with your hands. Awakened Bappa. Midnay saw that the thing he was holding in his hand was actually the one who was holding in his hand. When Beldo was born, he let out a long breath, and for some reason, he was restless when he took on this task. It's like an ordinary person, having a nightmare. I guess I'll drink some water, and I'll fall asleep after a while, but for Bappa as a witch doctor. In the case of Midnay, this is not the case. The bounty hunter industry is absurd for ordinary people, but for these bounty hunters who often deal with gods and ghosts, dreams are such an illusory thing, or a revelation, or perhaps a premonition.
Bean-sized beads of sweat kept coming from Bapa. Midnay's forehead slipped. Although I don't know why I desperately ran away in my dreams. But the thought of imminent danger looms over Bapa. Midnay's heart. Looking at the drifting rain outside the window, he gritted his teeth, "No matter!" You have to go under the knife! "Anyway, Bappa. Midnay got up and packed his clothes, and the innkeeper was dozing off at the counter downstairs. Midnay didn't even return the deposit, and dropped the key to the room. Braving the rain, he walked to his car.
After that, he slammed on the accelerator and drove in the direction of the old town. Why would an orphanage be opened in the middle of the Old City of Jerusalem, where there is constant conflict between the Christian Quarter, the Jewish Diocese and the three major sects of Islam? It is said that decades ago, a kind-hearted old doctor who had no children and no daughters saw children who had lost loved ones due to sectarian conflicts. Suffering from hunger and cold. He took in the children who had lost their parents due to sectarian conflicts in his own home. Over time, the five-storey building became a shelter for children who had lost their parents. After the old man died, many kind volunteers came to take care of these children, and with the donations of some wealthy people, this orphanage called 'Equality' was born.
All men are created equal. Here, children who have lost both parents, regardless of their denomination or parent, are treated as equals. It is for this reason that the 'Equality' orphanage has become a special presence in this place of constant conflict. There seems to be a tacit understanding between the three major sects, that is, the sectarian strife will never affect the 'equal' orphanage, which is a paradise for those children.
The Equality Orphanage still retains its original appearance, a five-storey building, fully planned, with small beds in the opened rooms, the first floor is used as a canteen, the second and third floors are arranged for little boys to live, and the fourth and fifth floors are full of little girls.
Although some well-wishers often donate some money, the life of the 'equal' orphanage is still tight. Half of the children eat the poor, and the daily food expenses of each child are a lot of money. Fortunately, a few days ago, many well-to-do families came to adopt many children. It has virtually reduced the burden on the orphanage. Those who are well-off generally like to adopt children between the ages of three and six, because children of this age are a little more sensible and more obedient and easy to lead.
The children in the orphanage are also very eager to be adopted by a kind person, after all, the daily food in the orphanage is only enough to satisfy the stomach. It's not delicious. On Friday, it's a great gift to be able to eat a piece of chocolate.
But among the many orphans, there is such an outlier. Beldo, a little boy born with two different colors of pupils, has repeatedly rejected the adoption of many well-wishers. This greatly annoyed the director of the orphanage.
It's not so much about rejecting the adoption of a well-wisher as it is about scaring away those who want to adopt him. The adoption process is generally for those well-to-do families to come to the orphanage, first reveal to the director that they want to adopt the child, and then the director will arrange for these well-meaning families to select the child they like.
Cover. Beldo's fair face, short black hair, and unforgettable eyes make people look like well-behaved porcelain dolls at first glance. Beldo's inexplicable words would have deterred them.
What's alcoholism can get you dead in ten years. ’
Greed is also an original sin. ’
'Expensive clothes can't hide the darkness in your heart'
These words have made those who come to want to adopt Meng. The faces of the Beldeaux were pale.
The director of the orphanage, who was also a volunteer, stayed behind when the kind old doctor died. I have also looked for Meng many times. Beldo talked about it, but the strange little boy always said it. The person who controls his own destiny has not yet appeared, and when that person comes, he will naturally leave here.
This sudden heavy rain knocked on the doors and windows of the orphanage, and the old doors and windows were whirring with the wind. Some of the younger children were so frightened by the 'boom' thunder that they buried their heads in the quilts.
Sleeping by the window. Beldo was also awakened by the roar of thunder. But it's different from other kids. The look on his immature face was not frightened, but a calm and almost indifferent look. "Are you coming? The one who holds my life and death in his hands! "Mon. Beldo muttered to himself.
Get up and get dressed, as an orphan, there is really nothing else to pack except for the clothes on your body.
After wearing, Meng. Beldo walked towards the fifth floor, where the dean was. 'Knock knock' Meng. Beldeau's little hand slammed on the door three times. The dean, who was awakened by the thunder, heard a knock on the door and asked, "Who?" ”
"It's me, Mon. Beldeau, Madam Dean. "Mon. Beldo said softly.
Hear familiar voices. The dean was stunned for a moment, got up and approved a piece of clothing and walked to the door. Beldo stood in the doorway. For this child, the middle-aged woman still couldn't help but educate; "Why are you running up so late without sleeping?"
Cover. Beldo didn't explain, just said lightly, "The person who wants to take me away is coming." I want you to open the door for him. ”
"What nonsense are you talking about, how can anyone come here with such a heavy rain? If you don't obey again. I'm going to punish you for cleaning the toilet tomorrow! The dean said with a frown. Facing Mong. The strange thing about Beldo is that it really makes her angry. Because of the porcelain doll-like appearance, for women who are overflowing with maternal love, the lethality is even more powerful. Although he often uses strange words to refuse the adoption of those well-wishers, the usually well-behaved and sensible Meng. Beldeau is arguably the most worry-free of all the children.
"I'm telling the truth, Madam Dean. The man who holds my destiny in his hands is about to appear. You follow me and stand at the window for ten minutes, I'm sure he's coming soon! Please believe what I say." Beldo pleaded.
The dean looked at Mon. Berdona's Persian-like eyes. I couldn't bear to refuse this child. Reached out and rubbed Meng. Beldo's silky hair, said softly, "Naughty little one! I'll just wait with you for ten minutes. If that person doesn't come, can you just go back to sleep? ”
Cover. A sweet smile appeared on Beldo's face, "He must be back, fate has arranged." Let him come and pick me up on this night of a thunderstorm full of crisis! ”
The dean shook his head helplessly, I don't know why, I would be stupid to stand by the window with this child and wait for the person he said, although the wind was strong outside, the torrential rain knocked on the glass, and the rain slid down the glass to make people see the hazy and dark night.
Bappa driving all the way. The uneasiness in Midnay's heart grew stronger, and he wanted to hide from someone as if he were in a dream. Pressing the accelerator continuously, the wipers shook and scraped the rain off the windshield. A heart rises and falls along the potholed roadside.
As the time passed, an old man and a young man standing by the window began to chat with each other, passing the time for ten minutes.
"Why would you reject those good Samaritans? You know, the situation in the orphanage is not very good, and if you are adopted by well-wishers, you will not only have a better life than here, but you will also be able to go to school," the dean taught.
Cover. Like a little adult, Beldo's face showed a sadness different from that of his peers, "My arrival will only bring bad luck to those people." My fate is destined to be tied to that person tonight. "Mon. Beldo said lightly.
That sad expression made the middle-aged dean can't help but want to take him into his arms. Suddenly, in the dark and rainy night, two lights lit up in the distance, and the pillars of light from the headlights were very conspicuous in the darkness.
Seeing this light, Meng. Beldo whispered, "He's coming!" Madam Dean, let's go down and open the door! ”
The dean looked at this little boy incredulously, who was usually more sensible than his peers. Although Beldeau often said strange things, the dean's strange behavior on this rainy night shocked the dean.
Dean Mu Ne nodded, followed by Meng. Berdo went downstairs to meet the man whose fate he had in his mouth.
Through the headlights, Bappa. Midnay saw the old five-story building in front of him, with the words 'Equality Orphanage' hanging on the door, "It's here!" I don't know if he was adopted or not! "Bappa. Midnay muttered to herself.
Follow the potholes, drive to the door, and walk out of the car in the rain. Just as he was about to knock on the door, the old wooden door was opened from the inside. A middle-aged woman, dressed in pajamas and a sweater draped over her shoulders, stood in front of her, with a little boy standing next to her. The little boy's eyes were the same as those of the Persian cat, blue on one side and emerald green on the other. (To be continued......)
