When I traveled through time and became a player, I just wanted to commit suicide

"Do you still accept children here?"

Li Shanren looked at the bald old man in front of him sincerely.

The bald old man did not reply immediately. Instead, he looked at Alice who was hiding behind Li Shanren with only half of her body exposed. He waved and said, "Stand up and let me see you."

Alice timidly walked out of Li Shanren, looking at the bald old man carefully with her blue eyes.

Seeing Alice's pleasing appearance, the bald old man's narrowed eyes widened slightly, seemingly surprised. Soon, he showed a seemingly kind smile.

"Yes, we are willing to take her in, come in."

The bald old man opened the iron door to allow one person to enter.

Li Shanren was about to take Alice in, but was stopped.

The bald old man pointed at Alice, then at Li Shanren, put away his smile, and said in a cold tone: "She can come in, but you can't."

"Uh, can't you be accommodating? I want to see what the environment is like inside, so that I can hand her over to you with confidence." Li Shanren scratched his head in embarrassment.

"We don't welcome outsiders here." The bald old man said coldly.

Seeing the determined look on the bald old man's face, Li Shanren knew he couldn't get in.

Originally, he planned to take a look at the environment inside and then check on Alice's behalf. There wasn't much he could do but try his best to do everything well.

So he leaned down slightly, rubbed Alice's little head, and said: "Now, you heard it too, I can only send you here, and I can't accompany you anymore. Let's get acquainted with you, and I will do everything I can to help you." Help me, see you again in the future."

Alice pursed her lips, took Li Shanren's hand, shook her head, and said, "If you don't go in, I won't go in either."

After hearing this, Li Shanren's eyelids twitched slightly and he had a headache.

We've only known each other for a day, why is this little girl so clingy to me?

When did I have the qualities that would attract little girls?

So, he could only look at the bald old man helplessly.

The bald old man seemed not to have expected this scene.

He thought for a moment, and finally opened the iron door a little further, and said: "Then you can come in with her, but first, please don't look or talk randomly after you come in, otherwise you two Just get out of here right now.”

These words were a bit harsh, which made Li Shanren's heart tremble and he agreed.

Then, at the signal of the bald old man, Li Shanren led Alice into the orphanage. Without the obstruction of the iron gate, the first thing that caught their eyes was a straight, flat avenue with regular-shaped plants planted on both sides. Ornamental shrubs, you can tell that they are often carefully pruned.

At the end of the avenue stands a three-story foreign-style building with more than a dozen rooms on each floor. There is also an ornamental fountain in front of the building, with clear water flowing out gracefully and rising under the sunlight. Golden light.

The environment looks pretty good.

"Squeak - bang!"

Behind him, the bald old man slammed the iron door hard, and the heavy sound seemed to announce that the orphanage here was isolated from the world.

"follow me."

The bald old man walked past Li Shanren and walked slowly along the flat road towards the foreign-style building.

Li Shanren led Alice and hurriedly followed, not daring to say a word, but feeling a little weird in his heart.

"This place doesn't look like an orphanage, but more like a nobleman's mansion. Besides, it's so quiet."

Generally speaking, a place like an orphanage, where a large group of children gather, is very busy most of the time, and it is impossible for those little ones with excessive energy to stay in one place quietly.

Unless... the discipline here is very strict, so that children dare not make loud noises and can only silently suppress their nature.

Thinking of this, Li Shanren slightly tightened his grip on Alice's soft little hand.

Of course, we can't just guess so straightforwardly. Maybe this is their nap time?

If they had naps...

"I...I don't like it here." Alice suddenly whispered to Li Shanren.

Her blue eyes were a little uneasy, and her sensitive heart felt the oppressive atmosphere in this orphanage.

This place was so quiet, with only their own footsteps and the sound of rushing water in the distance. Besides, except for the bald old man walking in front, no one else was seen in the huge front yard. It was obviously an orphanage. But not a single child was seen.

The towering walls, the quiet courtyard, and the lonely foreign-style building standing in the distance. Every window in the foreign-style building is blocked by curtains, as if to block the sunlight and the sight of outsiders.

Moreover, he didn't know if it was Li Shanren's illusion, but he felt that a gloomy and gloomy aura gradually rose up from the bald old man in charge of the door.

Have I broken into something terrible? I just want to find an orphanage to settle this little sister!

It must all be my illusion, it's the quiet atmosphere here that makes me think too much.

Li Shanren twitched the corner of his mouth slightly, comforting himself while continuing to follow the bald old man, but his pace slowed down a lot, making the distance between them wider.

However, I still have to visit Alice again when I have the opportunity to see if she is doing well. If she is really wronged in any way, there is still a chance to take her away and find another place.

Li Shanren thought silently.

Not long after, they walked to the fountain. There were actually several goldfish in the pool under the fountain, swimming happily in the water.

Seeing these little creatures, Li Shanren felt inexplicably relaxed.

Sure enough, it was because it was so quiet here that it made me think wildly.

The bald old man walking in front stopped, turned around, pointed at Alice, looked at Li Shanren expressionlessly and said:

"Stop here. You can't go any further. You can only let her follow me alone. And you can't leave here by yourself. You have to wait for me to come back and take you out."

Hearing this, Li Shanren didn't think much, let go of his hand, lowered his head and rubbed Alice's little head.

"Follow him. Although it's surprisingly quiet, the environment here looks pretty good."

Alice was obviously reluctant. She lowered her head and grasped the hem of her skirt without saying a word.

In order to relieve Alice's visible tension, Li Shanren could only add one sentence.

"Let's go in with this uncle first. I'll wait for you here. If you really don't like it here, I will take you out of here and find the next place."

Alice nodded obediently and silently followed the bald old man away.

Seeing Alice's small figure leaving with the bald old man, Li Shanren, who was standing by the pool, breathed a sigh of relief.

Finally, he sent this little sister away, so that he wouldn't have to worry about her freezing to death on the roadside with him.

After watching the bald old man push open the door of the foreign-style building and lead Alice into it, Li Shanren sat boredly by the pool, staring at the goldfish in a daze.
