Chapter 140: Nurse Vitelles
Walking around like this, Alice kept talking excitedly all the way, as if she wanted to finish all the words she hadn't said in a daze at once. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
But she rarely talks about herself, mostly talking about the old days when the Collins family lived together.
Alice led them further and further away, always looking to drill into those dark and narrow alleys, and the surrounding environment was getting worse and worse, and domestic garbage was everywhere.
Sloppy alcoholics can be found everywhere, and in some corners you can see needles thrown on the ground with bloody needles on them.
This is clearly the chaotic place of Oxford, the gathering place of social dross.
The slums struggling to survive in the cracks of such metropolises are all mixed places where you can buy anything you want for a starting price.
Roger's eyes lit up in these scenes, and in a sense, this chaotic place was even more attractive than Hogwarts.
However, when the sanatorium is opened in this vicinity, there is a big suspicion.
Passing by a low-rise residential building, a shriveled old woman with a wrinkled face and a slumped body reached out and put her hand on Alice's shoulder: "My little star, my suspenders... Alice Liddell: You're in the slum again, aren't you? With friends?"
The hunched old woman has a male duck voice that doesn't match her figure, but her words reveal that she knows Alice.
Roger looked her up and down, the odds of meeting a good guy in such a place were no higher than the sow's coming up the tree, and Caroline clenched her fists.
As long as there is something wrong, this woman will not want to spend her old age in peace.
Alice turned to look at the old woman, and the happy expression on her face suddenly disappeared: "Nurse Veteras, I'm just passing by here to go to the High Street, and I've only been here twice in so many months." ”
The old woman was also looking at the two siblings, her eyes lingering on Roger for a few more seconds, and then she asked again, "With friends?" you look very haggard, baby." Isn't it going well?"
There was a false concern in her words.
Alice glanced at her two friends: "Actually, it's not ...... either"
"Come home and look at my pigeons, these birds are lovely... As cute as you are. The old woman interrupted her, and invited the girl with great impatience.
"No... Not today... I'm going to get my medicine. Alice's eyes involuntarily swept over Caroline and the two, and she refused in a bit of a panic.
"I might be able to remember where your dirty rabbit went. The old woman wrinkled her nose and smiled with a mouth full of yellow teeth, as if she was not afraid that Alice would not go with her.
Alice's refusal swallowed back into her stomach, and the old woman's bony palm dragged her into the building.
Caroline was not reassured, and reached out to grab Alice.
Roger reached out to stop his sister and shook his head at her slightly, although the conversation between Alice and the old woman was a little foggy, but the boy was sure that Alice must be hiding something from them.
The old nurse who didn't know which hospital it was easily persuaded Alice to go with her, so she must know something, and before asking, the boy was afraid that the old lady would slap her apart.
On the roof of the building were scattered with a few empty pigeon cages, and the pigeons were jumping freely on the rooftop and making cooing sounds.
Alice and the three followed the old nurse upstairs, and Roger hung at the end, looked down for a moment, picked up a broken wooden stick that was not long, and pinned the roof door.
The old woman opened the small bag of bird food that she had brought from the hallway, and sprinkled it among the birds one by one, without the impatience she had when she was downstairs.
Alice had some pleading in her tone: "Now you can say it, xx I will bring it to you later." "One of the terms is rather vague.
The old woman turned her back to them and said, "I can't help it, dear... I hope you understand that I always want to have a drink......"
Roger pushed aside Alice, who was in the way, and kicked the mother-in-law who was holding the tone to the ground with a simple and rude kick.
Then he covered his mouth with his hands and looked like "what did I do" with a panicked expression: "Oh my God, are you okay...... I'm really sorry, I'm not usually so grumpy, mainly because this old face of yours reminds me of the Coke can on the road. ”
He cautiously squatted down to check the old woman's injuries, dismantled a pigeon cage next to him, straightened the wires one by one, and said in a rather interesting tone: "I respect the old and love the young, and respect the rights and interests of women...... Hit you, I'll say I'm sexist, don't hit you, it's even more sexist, I hate word games the most......"
Then he lifted the old woman lying on the ground head-on, pointed the wire at her fingertips, and roared and threatened: "So... Don't force me to stick this in your finger... It's the kind of sourness you don't want to experience. ”
Nurse Wittles stiffened and said in a panic, "What do you want? I'm old and ugly, and I don't have any money... I used the old-age security money to buy alcohol......"
"Well...... Mainly want to ask you some inconsequential little questions, like ......"
Before he finished speaking, the old woman took advantage of his opening to speak, kicked Roger away with a huge force that did not match his figure, turned over and stood up: "Boy...... I dare to let you follow, and I will be sure to deal with you. Besides, you don't think two kids and a madman can deal with me, do you?"
This mother-in-law's strength is not small, at least on par with a man in the prime of life, if she is dealing with ordinary three children, she really doesn't have to be afraid of anything.
It's a pity that the three people present are not weak stubble, and if they give Alice a kitchen knife, they can chop her into dumpling stuffing without injury.
Roger lay on the ground and didn't get up, just looked up at her: "Now I'm curious, which hospital nurse still requires muscle exercise?"
Nurse Vitelles snorted and did not answer, but threatened them: "The old woman will not bully you children, and if you pay for the kicking of my pigeon cage, I will let you go, or I will let you taste my methods." ”
Alice shuddered imperceptibly and ducked behind Caroline.
Instead, the old lady hugged her arms and watched the play safely beside her.
"Oh. Roger simply replied, and put a large font on the ground without moving.
Seeing that none of the three of them wanted to cooperate, Nurse Wittles' eyes turned cold, but she could see that she still had no intention of making a move: "Alice Liddell, don't you want to know the whereabouts of that broken toy bunny?"
Alice trembled again, biting her lower lip and shaking her head hard: "No need... I don't want to find Mr. Rabbit again!"
