"Dongdongdong..."

A crisp knock on the door sounded outside the room.

"May I come inside?"

Upon hearing the sound, Alice, who was sitting at the desk looking out the window with her chin in her hands, immediately jumped off her chair, ran to the door excitedly, and opened the door.

Standing at the door was Li Shanren who had changed into civilian clothes.

He tilted his head slightly and glanced inside the door. There were two large beds in the large room. Girls of different ages were sitting on the bed with some restraint, looking cautiously outside the door. It could be seen that they seemed to have Playing around, the bed is a little messy.

It can only be said that children are children, even if they were in a dark environment not long ago, now they are in a relatively safe and warm environment, and their lively nature is slowly revealed.

Li Shanren didn't care about this. He thought it would be better to be more lively, so as not to become as depressed as a piece of wood and others would think he was abusing these children.

However, Li Shanren emphasized to them when they checked in that they had to clean up the things they made dirty and messy.

Mrs. Marley is a very good person. The clothes the children are wearing are temporarily borrowed from Mrs. Marley. He does not want these children to add too much burden to each other, and he also does not want these children to develop some bad habits.

The rescued children, including Alice, were six boys and six girls, so two large rooms were opened, one for boys and one for boys.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here to find her."

Li Shanren touched Alice's little head and smiled gently at the girls in the room.

"I want to talk to you." Li Shanren bent down slightly and looked into Alice's blue eyes.

Alice nodded slightly.

Li Shanren took her out, closed the door, came to the edge of the corridor, leaned against the wooden railing, and looked at Fam City, where magic lights were lit everywhere in the night.

Alice stayed with him without knowing why, gazing at the distant scenery.

"Speaking of which, you still don't know my name." Li Shanren said softly, "My name is Li Shanren, um... the pronunciation may be a bit difficult for you, so under normal circumstances, you can call me I am Lithen, this is the name I gave myself after I came into this world."

"Li...Li...Li Sa...Li Sanren..."

The little girl tried very hard to pronounce the name, but due to the different pronunciation habits, it was a challenge for her to pronounce it in correct Chinese.

"Okay, just call me Lisern in normal times. I only told you that name. Don't tell anyone else." Li Shanren rubbed Alice's hair in a funny way.

"Oh." Alice nodded obediently, but still whispered the name.

"Actually, I still don't understand that question, Alice, why are you willing to trust me so much?" Li Shanren raised his head and looked into the distance and asked.

After hearing this question, Alice stopped talking, lowered her head slightly, and said nothing.

Yeah, why?

Alice remembered the first time they met.

That day was originally a happy and joyful day as usual. Her father and mother, who were businessmen, took her to play on the street. As soon as she reached the church not far away, her parents just turned around and fell down. In a pool of blood.

She stood there blankly, grief-stricken and at a loss.

Two church personnel came out and wanted to take her away.

"Don't be caught by strangers, don't be taken away by the church, don't go to an orphanage."

This was what her father had solemnly told her, so under the pretense of cordial concern from the two church personnel, Alice chose to run away.

She kept running, with three church personnel chasing after her.

After running for who knows how long, she finally used the crowd to get rid of the church personnel and escaped into an alley.

It was a very dimly lit place, and it was difficult for sunlight to shine in. But unexpectedly, there was a bed made of various strips of cloth. There was no smell at all. There were some small objects neatly placed next to it, giving it a shabby feel. Little cozy.

So, Alice, who felt very tired, lay down on the bedclothes. There was still someone's scent on it. For some reason, she didn't hate the smell, but it made people feel at ease.

In the quiet environment, she gradually calmed down, and at the same time recalled the appearance and fact of her parents' death. The huge sadness overwhelmed her heart. She buried her head in the bedclothes, curled up, and cried softly.

I don't know how long it took, but under the influence of sadness and fatigue, she slowly fell asleep.

When she woke up, the sky had darkened. Alice sat up in fear, and then saw a sleeping figure leaning against the wall, sitting with her head bowed.

She knew that this was the owner of the alley. When she walked in here before, she had noticed an obvious warning device at the door.

Although she didn't know why the other party didn't drive her away, she understood that she was not suitable to stay here anymore.

So, she quietly left the alley and returned to the street.

In a strange city, Alice didn't know where to go. She walked on the street in confusion, and all kinds of passers-by passed by her. They all had their own lives, their own places to go, and their own selves. family......

But Alice was gone. The moment she lost her parents, she had nothing but herself.

Alice, who hadn't eaten for almost a whole day, felt very hungry. She usually had to stretch out her hands for food and open her mouth. She didn't know how to get food, but she knew that stealing was wrong, so she could only stand on the side of the road. Face looks longingly at the people in pubs and restaurants devouring their food.

Later, she discovered that the waiters would dump the uneaten food of customers into the garbage in the alley behind.

Alice hesitated for a long time, and finally, driven by hunger, she decided to go there to see if there was anything she could swallow.

When she walked into the alley, she didn't know that she had been targeted by three homeless people.

They attempt to capture Alice and sell her to a slave trader.

Finally, when they were about to take action, the vigilant Alice discovered the three tramps following quietly behind her. Without much hesitation, she ran away again.

He rushed left and right in a panic in the deep alley, running wherever there was a road, until he ran out of the alley and tripped over a depression.

She struggled to get up, tears streaming down her face, thinking she was about to be caught.

Then, she was pulled up by a clean and warm hand. The man happened to be standing in front of a magic street lamp, with the light behind him, and a gentle and kind smile on his somewhat dirty face. There was no hypocrisy of church personnel, and There is no greed and evil of the wanderer, as if he just did a trivial thing.

This is not a bad person.

Alice's intuition told her so.

So she quickly hid behind that person, nervously and fearfully expecting the other person to help him.

Unexpectedly, the man told her to run away.

With some confusion and loss, Alice could only continue to run away alone and got into the crowd, with the three homeless men behind her chasing her relentlessly.
