HP Wendy's crossing running account
Chapter 18 old age
Susan was busy running around.Although she is already very experienced in managing the daily chores of the orphanage, she is still in a hurry to take over a lot of documents-she is not a person who is good at paperwork, and Anna, who has the best education level in the orphanage, seems to be busy. He made up his mind to stand on the sidelines.
"I'm sorry, but—" Susan said hurriedly, rummaging through the untidy desk, "—I should have accompanied you. But—damn, where's next month's budget slip?" —You saw it too, I can't go away. Aunt Nancy is going to cook. Anna, well, don't mention it. I thought, let Anita accompany you? She is a little cowardly, but she has a clear head .”
Wendy stood in front of the table blankly, nodded and said nothing.
Anita was wearing a floral skirt, with long, shiny chestnut hair hanging down, looking very youthful and beautiful.She is the number one beauty besides Anna among the nursing girls. Even if her submissive appearance gave her a lot of points, she couldn't hide her beautiful face.If it is said that Anna's beauty lies more in her temperament, then Anita is a natural beauty.
"Those men who like the 'I'm sorry' type of girl will scream for her." Wendy sat on the horse-drawn carriage, looking at the beauties beside her and thought so.
Even facing a child as young as Wendy, Anita still lacked confidence.Probably because Wendy skipped their class and didn't write a single homework, Anita looked at Wendy a bit like looking at those arrogant problem children.This made Wendy very depressed, "Why are you so afraid? I'm so obedient."
Their destination was a cemetery, which had already left the city.
A tombstone that looked relatively new read:
Gavin Richard Carter
+1895-1931
Katherine Jennifer Carter
+1902-1931
Dedicated my life to those in need
Wentimer, she only knew the names of the parents of this body today.And maybe the real Wendy Carter's soul has already reunited with her parents in heaven.She put her hands together and prayed, may your family be reunited and sleep peacefully.
"Actually, we don't pay homage to the children's parents." Anita said timidly, "But Susan said, this is the first year, and you should come and see them. I'm afraid it won't work in the future... …" Wendy raised her eyebrows and gave her a sideways glance, and she stopped talking embarrassingly.
When they all boarded the carriage back to the city, she added another sentence like superfluous: "When you become an adult, you can come by yourself." Wendy was expressionless (I really don't know what expression to put on), so she Cowardly again.
Life in the orphanage still has to go on.
Susan runs like a spinning top, just like Wendy predicted, she is a hard worker.However, the letter of appointment of "Mrs. Cole" has not yet come down.What was waiting was another letter, postmarked by Sterling [1].
Mrs. Smith was unable to make it to her nephew's house for Christmas, and died of advanced lung cancer en route to the Highlands.
On the night when she received the letter, Susan sat on the steps outside the orphanage and wept bitterly.Uncle Kent, the ever-drunk doorman, gave her a bottle of gin.Not long after, Susan was so drunk that she passed out, and Uncle Kent and Aunt Nancy worked together to drag her back to the room, who was crying and scolding endlessly.
It was around this time that Susan began to drink, with a preference for gin alone.
The second to die this winter was the old nun in the chapel.
On the morning of December 12, a week before Christmas, she was found lying soundless in her bed.Under the pillow was a suicide note written at an unknown time.
It was Sunday, and Wendy and the others gathered in the chapel, but they didn't hear the usual sound of reciting the Bible that made people fall asleep. Instead, they heard Susan read the last words of the owner of the sound.
"...I am old, and the only wish left is to die quietly in this place where I grew up...
"... many things in my custody belong to this orphanage, including silverware, reliquaries, frescoes, furniture, pianos, and a collection of recorded books (on file in my in the second drawer from the left of the room), I hope that after my death these items will be handed over to Anna Granville for safekeeping...
"...I still have some old personal things that I had planned to sell so that I could leave some money for the Wall Orphanage. But a few days ago, Anna showed me the children's wish cards. I suddenly found that , My meager inheritance can satisfy many people's New Year's resolutions. So I changed my mind. This is also a little compensation for the lonely and boring old man I give to the children who suffer from me every weekend..."
Everyone was very happy that day.
A girl who was about to turn 16 and left the orphanage received a simple and elegant velvet dress. The style was a bit old, but it was well maintained and looked like new.
Another boy who had just won a scholarship to a public high school (he was one of the rare ones in the orphanage who could read) was given an old gold-plated fountain pen.
The next few gifts were less valuable, but desirable.For example, Jessica got an old pink rhinestone-encrusted hair accessory; Emily's was a Victorian doll;In the eyes of the children in the orphanage, everything is a fortune.
Wendy held a set of four notebooks in her arms with mixed feelings. She just wrote a sentence on the wish card, "Paper is never enough, I really want to have a notebook", and she received such a precious gift.As long as she saved some, it was enough for her to go to Hogwarts.
Wendy almost couldn't wait to sort out the blank paper of the previous notes, and transcribed the contents into a serious notebook.She shrank the words very small, arranged them tightly, and sorted out the knowledge points again, removing the repeated explanations and adding the newly recalled content.That's it, the advanced scientific knowledge brought by the previous life still occupies more than 20 pages.
Then there's the magic research part.
The first part is the core theory.Including the magic power wave equation, magic power fluctuation regulation and spellcasting general theory, magic-power conversion principle, conjectures about the release of magic power controlled by nerves, conjectures about the carrier of magic power organic matter, conjectures about the relationship between soul essence and magic power.This part leaves a large part of the blank.
The second part is "Light Magic".Line by line records the casting process of the light-related magic that Wendy can use so far.After thinking about it, Wendy also left a few pages blank.Because she suddenly discovered that so far, the light magic she has used only emits light, but does not receive light. "If you combine the principle of light emission and reception, it should be possible to realize the magic of 'see-through'."
The third part is "Force Magic".It is also line by line, starting from various mechanical forces and ending with electricity.Leave it blank as usual, although she doesn't know what else to add to this part, but she always feels that there is something lacking.
The newly opened fourth section is "Hot Magic".Except that the title is still blank, and she and Tom have so far been unable to use any magic related to heating or cooling.
Wendy closed her notebook and felt a little sad when she recovered from her "research madman" state.She had a vague memory of the old nun and didn't even know her name.In fact, Wendy had no concept of "Aunt Nun" except for that dry voice reading the Bible.However, it was this person who gave her the most urgently needed gift since time travel.She owed another favor that she could never repay.
Wendy never knew that Anna and the nun had such a good relationship.
Wendy stood at the door of the chapel, and heard the sound of the piano flowing like water swirling in the empty room and passing through the ornately decorated vault.It is an unknown hymn with a beautiful and sad melody.
Anna sat in front of the piano with loose red hair, her eyes closed tightly, letting her body sway slightly with the movements of her fingers.She didn't smile, so there was a real sense of peace and melancholy in the corner of her mouth.
This is the first time Wendy saw Anna playing the piano, wanton and lonely, blooming with an independent beauty.
Because there was no cemetery for burial, the ashes of the old nun were left on a shelf in the church.On the same day, Anna moved into the old nun's room.
Behind every person you ignore, there is his own story.
