Chapter 4 The Orphanage (Asking for Votes and Seeking Follow-up!! )

When Ma Wei opened the kitchen door, he saw a cat with literary feelings.

Xiao Hei stood by the window, staring at the fiery morning sun in the sky, and said in a sad tone: "What am I living for? Why did you die? ”

"What is the meaning of the existence of cats?"

"Beneath the cute exterior, is there danger or purity?"

Mavey looked at the newspaper spread out on the table, and guessed that it must have read an excerpt from Shakespeare's plays.

"Ahh Here you are, master! Meow! I was wrong! Don't dare to meow again! ”

The moment he saw Ma Wei, what literary feelings, Shakespeare, were all driven out of Xiao Hei's mind, it rushed to Ma Wei's feet, and cried: "The master is so ruthless... Knowing that Xiao Hei was afraid of the dark, he locked Xiao Hei in the kitchen overnight.... Woo woo... I can't get by without three small fish! ”

Perhaps because he felt that he was selling miserably, Xiao Hei showed the level of a face-changing master in the next second, as if he had been greatly wronged.

"Heh...."

Ma Wei sneered: "Call again, be careful, I cut your balls." ”

"Meow meow?!"

Little Black's whole cat was shocked, cutting the balls.... What kind of torture is this?!

Without the balls, how can it go out and huo other little female cats!

Thinking of this, Xiao Hei immediately became obedient, stopped calling, and didn't want to eat dried fish, it obviously cared more about its own balls than the current mouth.

That's the long-term solution.

Fat Orange walked past it without looking at it.

"Dad, what are we going to have for breakfast?"

Yunia climbed onto the high stool and cast an expectant look.

"Canned ham, green peas with butter bread, and a glass of holy water."

Ma Wei took out a few cans from the cabinet, opened them with a can opener, poured them into a plate, and handed them to Yunia along with the butter bread: "Vegetables must be eaten, more vitamins are supplemented, last night I saw that you don't eat tomatoes, picky eating is not a good habit, Mama doesn't like picky children...."

Having said that, Yunia still couldn't eat the green peas on the plate when she saw them, and finally she quietly put the green peas in front of Fat Tangerine while Mavi was reading the newspaper.

"Good cat, help me eat it...."

Yunia kissed it.

Fat Orange: "......"

As a carnivorous feline, Fat Tangerine's menu is fish in addition to meat, and occasionally eats a few catgrasses, which is very different from Xiao Hei, who does not refuse to come.

If Ma Wei asked him to eat green peas, he would definitely scoff at it and ignore it, but....

In the face of Yunia's pleading, Fat Orange, who has always been unfazed....

Finally lowered his noble head.

It ate the green peas in three or two bites, and then beat up the little black fat who kept pleasing Ma Wei.

This scene was all seen by Ma Wei.

He didn't say anything, he just thought....

Yunia, who has extraordinary powers, seems to be able to live well without herself.

After breakfast, Mavi put the used utensils into the sink, and at nine o'clock Mrs. Cecil would come to clean and make a fire for the stove, which was included in the fee of 10 shillings a week.

"The hosts! Don't go, master! ”

The little black fart followed behind Ma Wei: "Your cat is still hungry!" Meow! ”

"yes, I almost forgot about it...."

Seeing Ma Wei stop, Xiao Hei's eyes lit up: "Master, you really still love my meow!" Xiao Hei wants to eat canned mackerel! Dried fish is fine! ”

With a weird smile on the corner of his mouth, Ma Wei returned to the kitchen, took out a box of canned mackerel from the cabinet, and opened it....

Put it in front of Fat Orange.

Xiao Hei, who was full of anticipation, hurriedly reminded: "Master, big brother, it eats three meals a day outside, and never eats the meow of things in the house!" ”

"Yes, this is a good cat...."Ma Wei touched the head of the fat orange: "I never cause trouble to the master, and I don't scold the master for being stupid...."

“......”

"This canned food is a reward for those obedient kittens, and the disobedient kittens will have nothing to eat and will be cut off eggs."

"Little black is obedient! Xiao Hei is the most obedient meow! ”

"Then can you promise that you will never speak in front of outsiders?"

Seeing this, Ma Wei finally said what was in his heart.

A cat that can speak human language?

This kind of thing is comparable to a fantasy, once it is publicized, it is bound to attract the prying eyes of countless people with intentions.

It must be addressed as soon as possible.

Xiao Hei nodded his head vigorously and promised that he would not speak in front of outsiders, and then Ma Wei opened a can of mackerel for him.

Looking at the wolf-gobbling little black, Ma Wei felt in his heart that he was really a good master with a big heart, gentle and kind, and then put on his hat, wrapped a brown woolen scarf around Yunia, and walked out of the house.

8 a.m., South Street, Orphanage.

"I wish you all the best, Father."

Six bronze pennies 'jingled' into his arms, and the coachman jumped into the back of the carriage with agility and drove away in the Hansam carriage.

Unlike Beale Market, South Street is a relatively peaceful area, and although there are also many thieves at night who prey on drunk people who have drunk too much, it is still safe during the day.

Mavi took Yunia's small hand and stepped forward to knock on the dilapidated door of the orphanage.

"Dad, what kind of place is the orphanage?"

Waiting for the management staff to open the door, Yunia, who was wearing a long white dress, looked curiously at the old building in front of her, like an abandoned hospital, and held Ma Wei's hand tightly, not leaving an inch.

"An orphanage is a place for orphans."

Ma Wei briefly explained: "There are many children of your age here, nine years ago there was a severe famine in this land, many people died, and the number of orphans increased suddenly, so some good nobles funded the construction of orphanages, specifically for the relief of homeless children.... This orphanage was built by Arthur Windsor, the lord of New Ross City, who was also the fourth prince of the Kingdom of Windsor. ”

"Is he a good man?"

"Compared to the children who were not well fed and clothed in the workhouse, the children who lived in the orphanage did think that the fourth prince was a good man."

"Oh...."Yunia nodded as if she didn't understand.

Click.

As she spoke, the door opened, and a mama with a baby in her arms and a tired face appeared in front of Ma Wei, followed by a group of children in loose coats.

"Good morning, Father," Mama grinned reluctantly.

"Good morning, Mrs. Thyssen."

Ma Wei took off his hat and gestured: "You don't seem to be resting well." ”

"There was a child who had a fever and cried until three or four o'clock in the morning, plus the sudden shaking last night...."Mama Thyssen sighed: "I only slept for an hour... Hey? ”

Mama Thyssen saw Yunia standing next to Mavi and was surprised, "She's..."

"Her name is Nia." Mavi scrambled before Yunia could reply, "We only met last night... Is it convenient to get in now? ”

"Of course! Look at my head, patronizing and chatting with you, Father..."

Mama Thyssen, who was holding the baby, quickly got out of the way, and when Ma Wei and the two entered the orphanage, they closed the door, locked it with the key, and then turned around and greeted: "Gulhana! Gulhana! Hell, where did this little girl run away again! ”

On the other side, Ma Wei was surrounded by a group of children.

"Father! Father! What story are you going to tell us today? ”

"Father Priest, I want to eat honey candy!"

"Be honest! How many times have I said this, Kurz, don't drag the priest's clothes! And McKinney, what are you doing crawling on the priest! He's not a tree! Hurry down! ”

Under the loud scolding of Mama Thyssen, the once chaotic situation finally subsided, and Ma Wei calmly smoothed the folds on his clothes, and always maintained a quiet smile on his face, he came to the orphanage every Friday to preach and tell stories, and he had to suffer a similar 'ordeal'.

Today, he has long developed a good mentality that Mount Tai will not change in front of him.

After all, in his eyes, these naughty children have a chance to become the most faithful believers of the Church of Truth in the future....

He believes that day will not be too far away.

Yunia, who came to the orphanage for the first time, was frightened and was squeezed by the children like a bowling ball, and as soon as the scene was quiet, she immediately returned to Mavi, grabbed his clothes, and used the strength to feed.

"Did they go to work?"

Surrounded by a group of children, Ma Wei walked into the activity room and asked.

"It's not a coincidence that I just left for a while."

Mama Thyssen said, "But they will come back for dinner at noon, and you will definitely be able to meet.... Father, sit here for a while, I'll pour you tea, and by the way, I'll go and get Gulhana back, I can't handle so many children alone!" ”

The orphanage has 53 children, 6 grandmothers, and 1 director, which would normally be so busy, but when the earthquake occurred last night, Mavi estimated that everyone else had gone to check the facilities, so only 17-year-old Gulhana and Thyssen were left.

"Today, let's continue the story of Yunia, the goddess of truth, and the evil dragon."

Mavi sat down on a stool, put his hat aside, took out the Book of Truth, flipped to the middle page, and cleared his throat.

When the priest was about to tell the story, the children immediately sat down and listened with wide eyes.

"Uh... Where did you come from last time? ”

"Speaking of the goddess Yunia, she drew her sword in the stone and single-handedly slew the castle where the dragon used to hold the princess!" McKinney, who was sitting at the front and liked to climb trees, replied loudly.

"Yes, yes, yes." Mavi turned the page back and read in harmony: "In order to prevent thieves from invading the castle while they are asleep, the evil dragon has planted a large number of blood thorns outside the castle, this thorn is full of barbs, likes to suck blood, any creature entangled by it will be squeezed into jerky in pain, in this regard, the goddess Unia has come up with a good plan..."

Yunia, who was sitting next to Ma Wei, listened to the story blankly, although the protagonist of the story was her, she did not have the impression of pulling out the sword in the stone or single-handedly taking on the evil dragon, but fortunately, this did not prevent her from listening to her father's story.

In Ma Wei's eloquent narration, the atmosphere was in place, and everyone was fascinated.

The most important thing is how to insert the belief of the Church of Truth in the process of storytelling and subtly change the audience's cognition.

Ma Wei has a lot of experience, and this little thing can't bother him at all.

"During the battle, the goddess Eunya was seriously wounded, she came to a mountain spring, washed her holy body with the spring water, and the blood flowed into the spring, and a miraculous scene appeared.... Okay, it's not too early, that's all for today, I want to know what happens next, and listen to the next breakdown. ”

As soon as it was noon, Ma Wei slowly closed the book and ended today's sermon with a dull gaze.

The children almost blew up on the spot.

The four of Maimaiti, who hurried back, only heard the last short paragraph, and their hearts were like cat scratches, but they were helpless.

As much as they regretted, there was Gulhana, who had been captured by Mama Thyssen, who had been hiding behind and listening for a long time.

"Miss Gulhana, long time no see." Ma Wei stepped forward to say hello to her.

"Long time no see, Father."

Gulhana lifted her skirt with both hands, tapped the ground with the tip of her left foot, and said with a smile, "Your story is so good. ”

"Only a good listener can understand a good story." Ma Wei smiled and looked behind her, "Isn't Mama Thyssen here?" ”

"She's gone to prepare lunch, do you have anything to do with her?"

"There's something I want to ask you for."

Ma Wei glanced at Yunia behind him, lowered his voice and said, "Actually, it's like this...."

"Uh-huh, uh-huh..."

Gulhana nodded as she listened, her eyes occasionally glanced at Yunya, and after she listened, she said: "I see, it's okay, we are such an institution, Father, you don't need to have psychological pressure, just leave it to us." ”

"Then please."

Ma Wei bowed, then turned around and said to Yunia, "Yunia, I'm going out for a while, you can stay here and play games with Sister Gulihana, okay?" ”

"Daddy, will you come back to pick me up?" Yunia said with her head bowed.

With a 'grunt' in his heart, Mavi didn't expect Yunia to understand what he was going to do.

He opened his mouth, as if he had lost his voice, and could not utter a word, and at last Gulhana stepped forward, took Yunia's little hand, and said, "Father, go ahead, leave it to me here." ”

"Ahh Well. ”

Mavi stood up, slowly put on his hat, lowered the brim of it, and when he could no longer see Yunia's gaze, he turned away.
