202. Memories(1/2)
Eastern New South Wales.
The full moon hung lonely in the night sky, making the surrounding stars look dim and small. Like a queen surrounded by her ministers, she spread her silver brilliance over the dark city and land, covering the whole world with silver gauze.
"Look..." the young woman looked respectfully at the middle-aged man opposite and said, "How about this batch?"
The middle-aged man flipped through the documents in his hands and nodded frequently:
"They all look like cute kids."
The woman then said:
"Yes, the last few are a little naughty, but they are all smart children, and none of them have particularly bad personalities. If the bishop thinks there is no problem...
"We just handed these over to you?"
The man turned to one of the pages:
"This child has just turned three years old?"
Three years old is basically the bottom line for them to accept children. There is no point in bringing them in at an early age. This age already has enough time for them to slowly cultivate and educate them, and they have already passed the period when they need professional care the most.
.
This blank is also so that they can determine the child's "character" before accepting it.
"Yes." The woman explained, "Although he is a bit arbitrary, I still arranged for him to come in because I think he is particularly suitable for your requirements. This is a very smart child, and according to the doctor's judgment, he will be better in the future.
He will also have a good face.
"And he has reached an age where he no longer needs to be taken care of."
The bishop smiled:
"It's okay, it just makes him feel the warmth of the Lord as soon as possible."
After saying that, he handed the information back to the woman opposite, then turned and walked out of the door.
Moonlight flows on the street.
"..."
"...Marn..."
"...Marn, Marn?"
Several consecutive questions brought the boy back to reality.
Ma En looked up along his well-proportioned legs, and a young female face appeared in front of him.
The woman was looking at him with worry:
"Are you nervous?"
Ma En replied in a daze:
"without……"
Then he was surprised to find that his voice sounded milky.
The woman smiled and said:
"It's okay, it's normal to be nervous, but little Ma En is really sensible. Other children would cry when they first came here, but you and he have already behaved very well.
"Come on, I'll take you to meet other children."
The woman took his hand and took him into another room before he could react. In his daze, Ma En vaguely heard the sound of broken glass and felt that he had hit something.
When he raised his eyelids again, he was already in a strange room.
A sickly girl was standing shyly in the corner, looking at Ma En who broke into the room with eyes like a frightened deer, as if she was frightened by his sudden appearance.
Before Ma En could react, the main door was gently pushed open.
A cute girl poked her head in, looking at Ma En and the thin girl with a slightly excited expression, and then looked at the standing woman with pleading eyes:
"Is it okay?"
The woman gave her a doting smile:
"Xiaoyun, please introduce yourself to your new friends."
The girl jumped into the house very lively, ran to Ma En and looked at him curiously:
"My name is Chen Yun, I am four years old this year.
"How are you, brother Ma En and sister You Yue."
Ma En's body paused, and then he replied a little at a loss:
"Hello?"
You Yue almost buried her head in her chest and said in a voice like a mosquito:
"Hello……"
Ma En's head was still a little groggy.
If he remembered correctly, he should have appeared here after sensing the Heart Butterfly. This was a trap set by the Moon God specifically for him, but if he remembered the current scene correctly...
It seems to be a memory of my own past.
This girl's face is somewhat similar to the current Chen Yun, and he has never seen photos of Chen Yun at this age. If what he sees now is her true appearance, it proves that this is not entirely a trap set by the Moon God.
The fantasy of creation.
At least his memory was used in its creation.
Something he doesn't even remember.
Ma En was still thinking about something, but it was as if his mind had returned to the underdeveloped childhood, and the thoughts running in his mind were much slower than normal. Before he could think of something clearly,
Chen Yun used warm words to distract his attention.
"Brother Xiaoen and Xiaoyue, let me show you around."
A child's little hand reached out to Ma En and pulled him out easily.
Ma En did not try to break away, but he noticed that Chen Yun only held his hand, and the girl named You Yue followed them carefully at a very subtle distance.
"..." Chen Yun opened his mouth to introduce the facilities of this orphanage to him, but these words were like loud noise in his ears, and there was no way to form a concrete consciousness.
Since this is his own memory, maybe he can find some useful information in it...
etc?
You don't have time to waste.
"look……"
Chen Yun's words seemed to have magic power, causing Ma En, who was still thinking, to turn his eyes to the houses on both sides of the corridor. Almost all the houses they passed by had their doors open, and they could easily see what was going on inside.
The figures of countless strange children and several adults flowed past his eyes. In the moment of mental trance, various different scenes also passed quickly in front of him. He always felt that he saw many faces.
It was repeated in the rooms on both sides.
Suddenly, a face without facial features broke into Ma En's field of vision.
An adult man with nothing on his face stands in the middle of one of the rooms. If his body is as straight and stiff as a statue, you can't even feel that his body is breathing or moving. The position of the eyes on his face
There are only two slightly concave inward contours.
But Ma En could feel that he was staring at her.
This figure only appeared in front of him for a moment. When Ma En wanted to pay attention to other details, other bizarre scenes also appeared in front of him one after another, and he could not find the strange man he just saw.
After taking a few steps forward, Ma En couldn't even remember whether he was his hallucination.
As he continued to move forward, he always felt that the children he saw were getting taller and taller, as if they were arranging the rooms according to age. He even vaguely saw children who looked like Chen Yun and You Yue.
figure...
"We're here." Chen Yun stopped in front of a wooden door with beautiful withered patterns.
These words made Ma En turn his head to her, and then all the doors on both sides of the corridor behind him closed at some point, as if they had never been opened at all.
When looking at Chen Yun, Ma En always felt that she seemed to be slightly taller than before, and at this time he also noticed something strange behind him. When he turned his head, he saw that You Yue was already holding her tightly.
The corners of your own clothes.
He didn't even notice when this happened.
"This is where you will live in the future." Chen Yun said as he opened the door, "Finally, I would like to introduce to you my roommate, this sister Seri."
A girl with short silver hair was sitting quietly in front of the desk in the bedroom.
When she heard the door opening, she also looked at the people outside the door, and then showed a gentle smile:
"Xiaoyun, you are back, they are Xiaoen and Xiaoyue."
Chen Yun happily ran to her, his eyes full of expectations for the future:
"Yes, we will live together from now on."
The silver-haired girl walked towards the chair and looked at them with a smile:
To be continued...
