King Who Will Cross

Larry is eleven and a half years old. When he was just born, his parents abandoned him at the door of the hospital.

He doesn't blame his parents because he hates his parents.

After living in the orphanage for eight years, Larry, who had just remembered, escaped from the orphanage because their director planned to sell him and some orphans about his age to a drug trafficking organization.

Although Larry is only eight years old, he clearly knows what life is like in a drug trafficking organization. In other words, most people in his country are not unfamiliar with the term drug trafficking organization. There are even many people who are members of such organizations themselves.

Brazil's drug trafficking organization is world-famous.

Similarly, Brazil's slums are also world-famous.

Larry couldn't recall how he spent the three years after escaping from the orphanage, wandering around various garbage dumps and slums, relying on begging, scavenging, and even stealing to survive.

When he was eleven years old, he met a foreigner who came to Brazil to work, and the foreigner extended a pair of warm hands to him.

In fact, it was not that he had never encountered such a situation in the past three years of his life, but most of the time, he chose to refuse. Not because he likes the wandering life, but because he is afraid of leaving a familiar place.

However, this time, he chose to accept it by mistake.

In half a year, Larry felt what warmth was and what a normal life was. However, it seemed that fate liked to play tricks on him. After he had enjoyed a life in paradise for half a year, the foreigner had to leave Brazil because of a job transfer.

Because there are more and more requests from various countries for foreigners to adopt orphans from their own countries, the foreigner who helped Larry could not meet the conditions for adopting Larry, so he could not leave Brazil with Larry.

If Larry was left in Brazil without anyone to supervise him, the foreigner was very worried that Larry would return to his previous life.

As for sending Larry to some welfare institution? After listening to Larry's description of some orphanages, the foreigner completely gave up the idea.

Just when they were at their wits' end, the foreigner cheered for joy because of some news.

Larry clearly remembers hearing the foreigner say: I found a good place for you.

How good is a good place?

Larry never believed that there was any better place in the world than to be with that foreigner.

A week later, Larry was sent to a welfare institution by the foreigner. If he hadn't seen with his own eyes that the foreigner gave some money to the person in the welfare institution, he would have even thought that the foreigner sold him to the welfare institution.

After two days in the orphanage, when Larry was already preparing to escape again, he was put in a car and taken to the airport to a country called New Zealand. After that, he was sent to a large ship.

On the ship, he saw many orphans like him. Compared with those orphans, he was older.

On the way, he had almost nothing to eat because no one gave him anything to eat. And after arriving on the ship, he actually found countless snacks for them to enjoy at will.

Is this the so-called good place?

Larry felt that it would be a very good thing if he could live on this ship for the rest of his life.

But he didn't wait long for happiness before he was shouted out by the adults on the boat. Then they got off the boat one by one, took the car again, and came to a place similar to a school.

New Tuvalu Royal Primary School?

This is what Larry heard others call this place, and some people also called this place the New Tuvalu Royal School Primary School.

Under the guidance of others, Larry walked through the beautiful teaching building, walked through the huge playground, and entered a building called a dormitory building.

In a spacious and bright room, ten wooden beds were neatly placed, and each bed was covered with sheets and bedding that looked very warm. On the right side of the door, there is a small door. An adult said that there is a place for washing and using the toilet.

Many children have the urge to rush to bed and make a fuss, but Larry stood cautiously by the door.

This is your student ID card! Someone handed Larry a small sign tied with a rope and said, Did you see the number above? Among these mantissas, 2 refers to the second dormitory, and 3 refers to the second dormitory. In the third unit, 4 refers to the fourth floor, and 7 refers to room No. 7. The bed with your name on it belongs to you. By the way, do you know Arabic numerals?

Know! Larry took the small sign called student ID card and walked to the wooden bed with Larry written on it. He thought of his miserable life in the orphanage again. Because the name Larry was given to him by the people in the orphanage.

An adult clapped his hands, attracting the attention of the twenty children in the room, and said, Everyone can take a look at the lockers under the bed. There are new clothes, new shoes, and toiletries prepared for you. Everyone can Go to the bathroom first, take a shower, and then put on these clothes and shoes.

Like other children, Larry couldn't help but sit on the ground beside the bed. Then he saw new shoes on a shelf under the bed. When he opened a cabinet next to it, he could see several items placed inside. Set of clothes.

It's really new. Some children cheered and took out their clothes eagerly.

Larry looked at the clothes he was wearing and remembered the foreigner who helped him, and he didn't want to change.

The adult walked up to Larry. Larry was a little nervous. He thought the man wanted to force him to change clothes.

Larry? The man bent down and said, You are the oldest in this dormitory, so you will be the head of this dormitory.

Chief? Larry asked doubtfully. For him, it was fine as long as he was not forced to change clothes.

Yes, you have to take responsibility for the safety of the other children in this room. If there is any problem with other children in the future, you must press the button on the bedside in time.

Larry looked at the red button on the bedside and asked, What will happen if you press it?

There will be teachers on duty coming to help you.

Teacher on duty? Larry asked, Is he the same as those aunties in the orphanage?

Absolutely, but they will teach you knowledge during the day.

…

After spending half an hour getting familiar with the situation, many children had already changed into new clothes and shoes and were standing there in high spirits.

A burst of pleasant music sounded, and the adults who had been responsible for arranging them began to guide them downstairs one by one.

Many children are reluctant to leave their beds, but when they hear that they are going to eat delicious food, they temporarily give up the bed that they miss.

After coming out of the dormitory, they walked into a circular building next to the playground. As soon as they entered, Larry smelled the fragrance of food.

Someone guided them to line up according to age and nationality, and then walked through a row of windows one by one. Many orphans were familiar with this situation, but they were very surprised by the food they got.

Is this milk?

“What a delicious bread!”

I love this green salad.

I love steamed buns the most, and this looks even more delicious than the ones at the welfare home during the Chinese New Year last year.

…

Hundreds of food types, distributed by nutritionists from the New Tuvalu Royal School, give orphans from different countries a familiar taste.

When Larry was about to start eating, he noticed a man slowly walking towards him, and behind him were many adults.

Hello, kid.

Larry, who was devouring his food, did not expect that the person just now was standing next to him. He quickly raised his head with a puzzled look on his face.

How do you feel about coming to New Tuvalu? Li Daniu kept smiling and asked a question that made the people behind him chuckle.

How does it feel to ask an eleven-year-old?

Are you sick?

Larry was much precocious compared to the average 11-year-old child. He noticed that when this person asked questions, many people behind him became quiet.

Can we eat so much delicious food every day? Larry asked cautiously.

Of course, you are growing, how can I make you hungry? Li Daniu replied with a smile: Besides, the food you eat every day will be as delicious as today.

Larry asked again: Then can I stay here forever?

Of course not. Li Daniu joked and said, You still need to go back to the dormitory to sleep and go to the classroom to study. How can you stay in the cafeteria every day?

Larry understood what Li Daniu said. He had wanted to go to school like other children a long time ago, but he never had the chance. Even when he was adopted by the kind-hearted foreigner, there was no way for him to go to school because of incomplete adoption procedures.

Then I think this place is very good. Well... New... Tuvalu is a good place! (.)
