Mudun brings benefits to the United Kingdom and the United States

Fujiya was still in astonishment, and didn't recover for a while, because she felt that the contrast between what she heard and what Esther showed was too great.The voice in the women's room gradually weakened, and the door lock was opened with a "click", and Esther came out with a smile on her face after venting.

Her mood has returned to calm, and her flushed face has gradually calmed down. She began to arrange her messy hair and skirt in front of the mirror, and then listened carefully to the movement outside, before turning off the rattling noise. tap, and walked out as if nothing had happened.

"..." Fujiya still didn't recover and slowly withdrew her ability. Soon, she saw that petite figure appearing in the corridor in the distance.The little girl saw the three of them from a distance, showing a surprised expression, trotting all the way over, raised her head affectionately and asked, "Uncle Bucky, why are you back? Mom, have you finished?"

"Well, we just finished talking." Fujiya put away the turmoil in her heart and smiled again. She can hide it very well when necessary. After all, they are all professionals who travel across the world to complete tasks.

"You've been away for a long time, so I want to come back and wait for you." Bucky showed a warm smile, reached out and rubbed the top of Este's hair, and said nothing else.

The little girl looked around at the standing postures of the three of them, blinked her eyes, and judged that after Uncle Bucky came back from the car, he just bumped into the two of them, and was caught talking with them here, so she let go without a trace. He took a deep breath, smiled sweetly, and Wen Wen said quietly: "Mom and Dad, let's go back."

In the short distance from the corridor to the car outside, Esther stretched out his hand naturally, took the hands of Steve and Fujiya from left to right, and snuggled between them very intimately, like a real The family of three went out like that.

Steve didn't have any other reaction, but exchanged looks with Fujiya with questioning eyes, and didn't act rashly.He knew very well that Fujiya had activated her ability just now, what exactly did she see to show that unbelievably shocked expression?Due to the presence of Esther, he couldn't ask, but Steve was very patient and decided to wait until he got a chance to ask the reason.

Dinner was Bucky's fried steak. In order to celebrate Esther's going to school, a few more dishes were added to the table-fried shrimp and fried mushrooms and other dishes suitable for children's tastes.

"Esther, how do you feel at school today?" Steve asked with concern.

He just heard Fujiya's new discovery, and was shocked by Est's intelligence.But this means that you can't believe what the psychiatrist said. Such a young child has such deep scheming and camouflage ability, and people can't help but want to find out what happened to her past.For those who are doing the task, they also have a hunch that only by clarifying this point can they better understand how to complete the task.

So Steve wants to know more about Esther's experience at school today.

"...Uh huh, that's it." Esther was holding a small silver knife and cutting steaks piece by piece. She didn't raise her eyes, as if she didn't like this topic very much, so she lowered her volume perfunctorily and said in a low voice. , "As boring as in the orphanage, I understand, children of this age are like this, stupid, very childish. I'm just different."

The small willfulness and mature complaining tone she exposed will not be a demerit, but will be considered cute because of her true feelings and pretending to be mature. She is like an over-smart child pretending to be an adult. .

Fujiya noticed that all the steaks on Esther's plate had been cut into small regular cubes. She didn't put down the knife until all the meat was cut, and began to enjoy the food bite by bite.During the process, the alluring aroma of the steak did not tempt her to steal a slice or two.Reading La

As if to change the subject, Esther said quickly: "Can I use the computer after dinner? Just surf the Internet for a while, I want to check some information."

"Of course." Steve agreed. He wasn't worried that Esther would find something wrong. Jarvis's program was on the Internet and could help them at any time.It just so happened that they could call the nuns in the orphanage while Esther was busy, and ask in detail about the area where Esther lived before. It is impossible that there will be no clues.

The room with the computer was their default study. After Esther passed, Steve decided to sit in the living room and call the nun.

"You want Esther's previous information?" The nun asked for confirmation, not at ease, "What's wrong with her? How have you been getting along recently?"

"No, we just want to know more about Esther's past and help her better." Steve said evasively, and said a few words of comfort, "We get along very well, she is very caring and lovely. But Esther is so smart, she always hides her bad mood so well that we don't know what to do."

"I understand." The nun said clearly, sighed and laughed, "The children who go out here are like this. They only want to show their good points in the new family. They haven't relaxed yet." She thought for a while and pondered After a while, "Well, I understand the situation. A character like Esther will indeed choose such a tiring way of expression... When she is here, I feel that no one can understand her heart."

"Because of the previous fire, we don't know much about Esther's previous information. After all, it is a foreign country, and it seems to be a very unknown place. But I will help to check, and I will tell you when I have news. The nun agreed, and said, "Oh, yes, I need a copy of Esther's physical examination report here, the full set, and you need to keep the files. Just hand it in next week."

"Understood." Steve agreed first, caught the key words in the passage just now, and was about to ask, "Before you said..."

His words stopped suddenly, and Fuji Ya, who was listening quietly beside him, raised his head as if feeling something.Bucky, who was playing chess with himself in a ball on the single sofa on the other side, also held the chess piece and raised his eyebrows slightly, looking keenly towards the direction of the corridor.

——The three of them are not ordinary people.Steve's quadruple hearing, Bucky's transformed senses, and Fujiya's special ability to manipulate plants all made them aware of the little girl's approaching footsteps at the same time.It was Esther who quietly slipped out of the study, trying to lurk in the corridor to eavesdrop on the phone in the living room.

Maybe she would have heard the important news if she changed the family, but for these three people, Esther's clever hiding skills did not exist at all, and the sound she made was as clear as footprints on the snow.

Steve paused suddenly when he was about to ask because he heard footsteps approaching.

"I see, so the only thing that needs to be kept in the file is the full set of medical examination materials?" Steve changed his words smoothly, as if he hadn't asked the half of the sentence, "We will be ready, Well, I see, goodbye, nun."

He hung up the phone and gave Bucky a tacit look.

The brown-haired young man immediately dropped the chess piece in his hand, took out his mobile phone and started sending text messages, silently preparing to ask Jarvis for help—asking what happened to the fire in the orphanage, and synchronizing from the Internet Look up Este's previous information through channels.

Fujiya didn't seem to see the interval between the two of them, and then talked with Steve in the next moment: "I'll make an appointment and take Esther to the medical examination tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."

"There is also a dentist." Steve reminded with experience, "What the nuns want is a full set of physical examination results."

"How are you so proficient??"

"Come on, he's had an untold number of medical checkups before, you forgot? What Steve used to be—" Bucky winked at her knowingly.Fujiya understood, and instantly remembered that Steve had teased him before.When he was very thin, he wanted to join the army many times, but he was dismissed every time.

There was a lively conversation in the living room, and after hearing the footsteps on the other side of the corridor, he left gently, and returned to the study the same way.

"..."

The three who stopped talking looked at each other.

"I didn't want to dig out her secrets at first, but now it's impossible not to find out." Fujiya said distressedly, lowering her eyes.She shuddered at the thought of Esther's ghostly whispers she heard through the plants.

It was like a terrible cry from hell, and the emotion contained in it was frightening.In any case, it didn't seem like a child could send it out. Fujiya was so worried, she felt that she would never forget it again, and couldn't wait to find out what happened to Esther.

"What the hell is she hiding?" Steve thought of the therapist's words.If that's the impression Esther wants them to think, what is Esther's true self that she's hiding, that she just doesn't want to show herself too badly in front of her new family?

Early the next morning.

Esther caught the cold and had a high fever. Not to mention the physical examination, she couldn't even go to school, so she could only lie at home and get transfusions—this was because Esther was crying and playing in a fragile state of illness. I got a little temper and didn't want to go to the hospital.

The three of them sat together again in the living room, and the atmosphere was dignified.

Fujiya sighed: "It's suspicious..."

Bucky rubbed his chin: "The second day after eavesdropping, I have a high fever and can't go for a medical examination..."

Steve nodded silently: "...The three of us can't be suspicious this time, can we?"
