Tom saluted again, and walked out with the two girls behind him.After going back to the room and reading a book for a while, feeling that the power calling him was getting stronger and stronger, Tom stood up and told Nong Ping beside him: "Clean up and leave now." Put the book you are reading in.

Nong Ping brought Tom the orphanage clothes he had worn before and changed him, and took another cloak to put on him. After the cloak was put on, Tom went out with the burden, but it was only a step away. This person is gone.

It wasn't the first time we met Nong Ping, but Cui was bluffed by seeing this situation for a while, and he got better after a while.

One step away is the orphanage, and Tom is used to it, but this feeling of powerlessness and being at the mercy of others can't get rid of it.It was dark outside the window, it was midnight, he had disappeared for such a long time, and the private room was not used by Mrs Colin for other purposes, it was still empty here.

Put the burden on the bed, there are some snacks wrapped in oiled paper, and homework, considering that it will be overnight, Nong Ping also specially put a big thick clothes and some toiletries in it.Tom looked at the thick clothes and nodded, saying that money touches people's hearts. If it's just these things, even if Mrs. Colin finds out, she wouldn't dare to do anything based on the power of the devil in her body, but if the usual Bringing things like jade pendant sachets is nothing in the Lin residence, but here, even if he has already frightened Mrs. Colin, he might not be able to survive.

Tom had always known beyond his years the dangers of the human heart.

There was no light for him in the orphanage. After looking through the bundle, there was no lighting. Tom gave up, put the bundle on the table with missing legs, spread the big woolen clothes on the bed, and fell asleep.After sleeping in the high bed and soft sleeper of Lin's family, now sleeping in such a template, Tom felt that he couldn't sleep.

But no matter how drowsy he was, whether he fell asleep or not, the sun would always rise.

Tom's room was in a corner, and even if the sun was in the sky, there was no sunlight in his room, except that it was daylight.

Even the sun of justice cannot shine on every corner of the world.

Tom shook his head. Without the servants serving tea and water, he can only be self-sufficient now.

Out of the room, Tom went to the kitchen.They said it was the kitchen, but there was nothing to eat in it. Fortunately, Tom didn't come here to find food. When he saw a pot of water sitting on the stove, Tom was not polite and took it down to use it.

He took out his handkerchief and was wiping his face when half of his face appeared at the kitchen door. It was Bodo.Tom withdrew his peripheral vision, groomed himself, and when he was all packed, he turned and went out. When he passed by Bodo, he said, "It's packed." As he passed by, Bodo was thrown into the kitchen directly. .

Back in the room, I ate some snacks. The overnight ones are not as good as the fresh ones.Tom frowned, took a sip of water and swallowed, spread out the pen and ink in the book and began to review his homework.

In the morning, Tom carefully examined his handwriting, and after a long while, he was quite satisfied.He also explained the four books mentioned before, and wrote an article that Lin Ruhai picked out topics within the scope of what he had learned from the previous rural examinations, and revised them carefully. With a little smile.

A thin rustling sound at the door interrupted him, turned his head, and the door was opened.The people outside the door may be surprised to find the door opened, keep squatting on the ground and raise their heads, looking straight in.

It was Bodo. There was a bowl under his feet, and there was something like clear water in the bowl, and there was a pitifully small potato in his hand: "Mrs. Hawking only distributed these at noon today." Mrs. Hawking shared the meals in the kitchen. .

Tom sat on the stool without moving, just raised his chin slightly: "You bring it every day, I saw it. That's good, you understand what I said."

"I take it every day, every day." Bodo's voice was a little high, and he thought he was trying to prove something with a little fear.Tom looked scarier today than ever, even though he was smiling now without a trace of gloom on his face.Bodo felt a little weak in his legs.

"Very good. Because of your loyalty, these things are yours now." The potatoes from the previous two days and today's food floated in front of Bodo. He was a little scared, but the temptation brought by the food made him barely restrain himself He stopped himself and looked at Tom anxiously.

Tom still smiled reservedly and nodded. As if the pause button had been canceled suddenly, Bodo stuffed the potatoes into his mouth without a moment's pause. He also devoured the soup that was as clear as water that night.

After eating all the food, Bo Duo wiped his mouth and licked his hands again, still squatting at the door, not daring to move.

Tom didn't say he could leave.

Regardless of what Bodo was doing at the door, Tom turned the pages of the book and previewed the next lesson.By the time he thought enough was enough, the sun had tilted a lot, and the sun was about to fade away.

Turning around, Bodo was still squatting at the door, and that position has not changed.Tom raised his eyebrows: "You are very smart, Bodo, and you are very obedient. You know that I am very satisfied with your current performance, so I decided to reward you with something." After thinking about it, a piece of egg yolk puff pastry floated to Bodo in front of the eyes.

Bo Duo stared at the egg yolk pastry in front of him almost in pairs, and he couldn't move his eyes away at all, but following the instinct of the little beast, he didn't dare to move at all, stared, and only dared to stare.

Tom was satisfied with his performance: "Eat it, it's yours."

Almost immediately after he said the word "eat it", Bodo stuffed the meringue into his mouth.Until the egg yolk cake entered his stomach, Bo Duo was still recalling the taste just now. For a child who was always on the verge of life and death, a piece of egg yolk cake was almost the most precious thing in the world.

Bodo now looked at Tom's eyes as if with light.The smile on Tom's face faded a little, and Bodo was suddenly pulled into the air, almost unable to breathe.

Tom played with the little golden ring in his hand: "Bodo, do you understand your position now?" The twisted Bodo nodded in difficulty, and Tom looked at him: "You should know that as long as I want, I can do it to you." anything."

Falling down from mid-air, kicking up a cloud of dust, Tom frowned. There seemed to be something at the door, which immediately blocked the dust.

Bo Duo lay on the ground, coughing unbearably: "I know, I... I know... I will do whatever you ask me to do."

Tom withdrew his eyes and looked at the gradually darkening sky outside: "I hope you can promise me that no one can enter this room and no one can touch my things while I am away." Thinking about coming back When he found the traces of being turned over and the things taken away in the broken cabinet, Tom's air pressure became even lower.

"I promise you, when you're not around, no one can come in, and absolutely no one will touch your things." Podo promised, lying on the ground, he didn't even dare to look up at Tom.

The door closed in front of him, and because he was lying too far forward, the door almost hit him on the nose.It wasn't until the night was completely dark that he slowly got up, put his ears on the door, and stood up when he heard that there was no movement inside, and ran away scrambling.

Tom left early, closed the door with his front foot, and opened the door with his back foot to put the things in the rotten wardrobe.As soon as he stepped out, he was still in Daiyu's room. As soon as he came in, he saw Daiyu hugging Najiya and having fun.

"Tom, Tom, have you gone back again?" It was the first thing he found out except the little girl who was pulling the curtain at the door.After this period of time, the little girl Nagiya has been raised very well by Daiyu. Her body was only the size of a finger, but now she is as thick as Daiyu's wrist.

Seeing such a healthy Nagia, Tom had a rare reflection on whether the raising of Nagia was qualified.

"Brother, brother, come quickly. Najya will be able to tie a knot." Daiyu can't hold Najya anymore, so she can only wave the knot in her hand and call Tom.

Tom flicked the corner of his clothes and asked Mrs. Wang: "Where are the master and madam now?"

Wang Momo hurriedly replied: "Go back to the uncle, the master and his wife are in the house now, and they just had dinner. Because sister Yu went to sleep at noon, the lady asked to take her back first because she was afraid of being sleepy, and waited for sister Yu to go to bed first." .”

"Understood, ask someone to report to Mrs. Ma'am, I'm back, and I'll go say hello after I wash up." Tom turned around and patted Daiyu's little head: "Sleep well." He said without waiting for Daiyu's reaction, and directly and left.

Back in the house, someone had already reported that Mr. Nong Ping was back. Now the house has prepared hot water and so on. Nong Ping and Zhi Cui took care of washing and changing clothes. Later, Xiao Yaoer took the homework done yesterday.

"Master is here." As soon as he entered the yard, a little girl sent a message inside, and all the way into the house, Jia Min and Lin Ruhai were sitting on it. "Greetings to father and mother, the son is back." Tom greeted respectfully.

Jia Min decided to be a loving mother, but she was much more enthusiastic than Lin Ruhai: "Have you eaten yet?" Without waiting for Tom to say anything, he repeatedly ordered the meal: "After staying for a day and a night, I brought a bag of snacks, which are half a big My boy, where is enough to eat, I want to go again next time, and I have to bring some dried meat and the like, why did I forget this one. It’s hard for me, and I will always go there in the future, who will protect you Yo."

As he spoke, he hugged Tom in his arms, crying out that he felt distressed.

"Mother, my son is not suffering. My father also said that since God arranged this way, there must be a reason for him. My son has endured it for so many years, and he can bear it." Tom felt a little embarrassed to be held in Jia Min's arms.

Lin Ruhai only drank tea by the side, looked at Tom's unnatural expression, and said, "Brother Tang, can you do your homework? Are you slacking off?"

Tom quickly came out of Jia Min's arms: "Where is the little girl outside holding it?" A little girl next to him immediately went out vigilantly and took it from the little girl outside and passed it into the room.

After receiving the homework, Tom handed it to Lin Ruhai: "Father." He then waited beside him with his hands down.

Coincidentally, the passed meal also arrived, and Jia Min rushed to the table with Tom's hand in his hand: "You eat first, your father may not know how long it will take. A half-child like you can't be hungry."

Tom sat at the table and ate slowly, the little girl stood by and waited on him, and Jia Min brought him two dishes with chopsticks from time to time.Lin Ruhai looked at the words and articles written by Tom yesterday. While reading, he smiled and nodded from time to time. He inadvertently glanced at Tom and Jia Min next to him, and pretended to be okay and forced himself to smile.

After Tom finished eating, he greeted him, commented one by one, and nodded in satisfaction after evaluating these pages: "Your schoolwork is at your age, even if you count it up for two or three years, it will be considered good." , but you must not get carried away with your high talent and stop working hard.” After a pause, seeing that Tom had listened to it, he said: “The thing about practicing martial arts that I mentioned earlier, your mother married a family in the early years. Come on, the head of this family has been on the battlefield, and you will learn to ride and shoot from him in the future."

"Yes, father, the son dare not slack off." Tom held his hands and saluted.
