"Louis is dead. He saw what you gave me to eat. He wanted to come to this room to look for it. They grabbed me. I didn't stop him, but he flew down from here and died. Kuza said he saw Louis was killed. Throw it down, and Mrs. Colin forbids us to discuss this matter." Podo told Tom what happened that day tremblingly with fear, and the words didn't match up.

"Anything else?" Tom asked casually.

"Ms. Colin invited the priest to pray. Some people came recently. They are different from those who come to do charity and adoption. Mrs. Colin brought them here, but they did not enter this room. They stayed for two days, and then Let's go." Bodo thought for a while, and added: "I saw them carrying knives and axes on their bodies, and they also wore a few black belts, which were bulging and heavy, and Rich went to carry them. They said they smelt of kerosene there."

The orphanage has never had enough food and clothing. If he doesn't find a way by himself, the child will face death.So these children will always run in the streets, either begging or stealing, and those who are a little stronger will try to rob.In such a gloomy view, the children in the orphanage obviously have enough experience to make them discern danger.

"I see, you've done a good job." Tom didn't care about Louis, but had some thoughts about the priest and those people Bodo said later.He was about to send Bodo away, but changed his mind when he saw the big messy bag on the bed: "Wash yourself, and then tidy up here." Tom raised his chin to let Bodo transfer the force to the bed.

"Yes." Bodo stumbled and ran out.

Tom stopped paying attention to Bodo and turned his attention to the window.London deserves to be called the city of smog. Even under the bright sun today, the place where the eyes can see is gloomy and dark.Tom looked at the orphanage that he had been looking at for more than nine years. The world seemed to have only two colors from beginning to end, black and gray. No matter what kind of sunlight it was, the sky was never bright.

Playing with the little gold bracelet on his hand, this yellow color seems to be the only light in the world.

With lowered eyes, Tom sat there quietly, and after a while there was a knock on the door: "Come in." Bodo opened the door and came in.

"Close the door." Tom turned his back to Bodo.

Bodo moved very carefully, and after turning around and closing the door, he stood there awkwardly against the door.Tom didn't speak, and he didn't dare move.

There was no sound for a while, and no movement was heard. Tom turned his head to look at Bodo, but did not speak.On the contrary, it was Bodo, because Tom's eyes became more and more disturbed, his hands were pinched together, and his feet seemed to grow on the ground: "Can I do something for you?"

Tom raised his eyebrows knowingly: "Clean up this room." After finishing speaking, he walked towards the door, and Bodo stepped aside quickly, and Tom walked away from him. When Tom's figure disappeared completely, Bodo looked like It's like being let go suddenly, and the whole person relaxes.

Regardless of what Bodo thought, Tom ignored the people around him, and walked calmly to the door of Mrs. Colin's room from a group of monster-like eyes accompanied by whispers in his ears.The door opened, and Mrs. Colin was doing something at the table with her back to the door.

Knocking on the door, Tom stood at the door and did not go in.

Mrs. Colin glanced back indifferently, caught a glimpse of Tom, and stood up from the table all of a sudden. She seemed to realize something was wrong for a moment, and quickly sat back, holding her posture stiffly: "What's the matter with you?"

Tom moved a little bit, turned his back to the light, and stretched out his hand to Mrs. Colin in front of him. A golden key in his palm instantly lit up Mrs. Colin's eyes.

"Come in." Mrs. Colin walked quickly to Tom's side, and glanced at the children watching outside: "Go to work, don't you think you can get food at night if you stay here? Don't go."

The children outside listened to Mrs. Colin's words, and their obsession with food successfully dispelled their fear and curiosity about Tom.

Seeing that the children outside had all left, Mrs. Colin closed the door, with obvious precautions: "Where did this come from, what do you want to do?"

Tom put the gold locket in Mrs. Colin's table, looked around, and sat down on a chair.Seeing Tom sit down, away from the table, Mrs. Colin flew onto the table and held the gold tightly in her palm.

"I heard that there are guests here." Tom sat on the chair upright, and spoke to Mrs. Colin indifferently.But it was just a simple sentence that confirmed that Mrs. Colin's expression changed.

"What do you want to do?" Mrs. Colin's face was ugly. Even though she was obviously depressed, she could hear that her breathing was much more chaotic than before.

Tom didn't answer her question, but said something else: "A man came to me, he always took me to West London, and he said he was my father." Tom stood up, as if thinking What, go to the window: "I look a lot like him."

"In this case, you can ask him to pick you up." Mrs. Colin's expression was obviously relaxed.

"But ma'am, he said that it's the best choice for me to stay here." This sentence immediately changed Mrs. Colin's expression a lot, and she became gloomy again. Tom continued as if he didn't see it: "You know, Those nobles... I don't quite understand the world of adults."

Tom talked as if he was really just a simple kid.

"He gave it to you?" asked Mrs. Colin.

"Yes, ma'am." Tom was very polite: "He said these are his thanks to you, thank you for taking care of me. He will come here often in the future." Tom took out two more gold coins Kaizi.

Mrs. Colin stared straight at the golden peacock that Tom put on the table, and her breathing became heavier, and the swallowing movement between her throats made her neck rise and fall as if a toad was beating inside.She didn't move but froze, and she didn't say whether she would let Tom stay.

To her performance like this, Tom seemed a little calm, he just sat there from time to time, looking relaxed and at ease.

After a long time, Mrs. Colin almost snatched the two golden keys into her palms: "You can stay here, and that room will always be reserved for you, it's yours."

"Of course." Tom stood up, "About the deaths of Jasmine and Louis, please express your condolences."

Mrs. Colin's eyes turned from the golden key in her hand to Tom's face, but she didn't say a word.

Tom still had a thoughtful manner: "Those guests who came to mourn, Madam, do you need me to greet them? You know, I am willing to do something for Jasmine and Louis."

Mrs. Colin's eyes were about to go out, her jaw was clenched tightly, and the sound of clenching her teeth was clearly heard, which set off the emptiness of the room.

Tom remained calm and calm until Mrs. Colin forced out a sentence from the back of her throat: "No need, there will be no guests." He left the room full of dirty smells, and walked towards Mrs. Colin before he left. present.

Back in the room, Bodo had already cleaned the room.Tom stood at the door and looked at it: "Very good. Go get a pot of hot water."

Bo Duo ran out again, and when he came back, he was indeed carrying a pot of hot water.Tom ordered the kettle next to it. The kettle was a set of teacups used by Nongping and the others, a complete set of white porcelain, a pot with a big belly and four cups, because Tom said that you can’t bring too expensive things. I dug out such a new set and brought it with me.

With a mood like a pilgrimage, Bodo held the small cover with both hands, and slowly and carefully put it aside.Lifting the copper pot, the copper pot is a bit heavy, and the height of the table and the kettle is higher. It is very difficult for Bodo to pour water, which is very inconvenient. It can be seen from the fact that he can hardly hold the kettle steadily when he clenched his teeth.

But even if it costs more, Bodo still maintains that action, ensuring that the water flows into the kettle gently.The tea leaves were stretched out in the hot water, and Bodo looked at the tea leaves as if he had seen a miracle.

"Enough." With a glance, Tom stopped him when he saw that Bodo was about to fill up.Bodo who stopped was still trembling and frightened.

I poured myself a cup of tea, but the taste was wrong, the water was wrong, and the way of making tea was wrong: "Pour it all out, and pour another pot of hot water."

"Down?" Bodo's face was full of distress: "Can I take it away? I swear, I won't let them find out."

Having not been short of food and clothing in the orphanage for a long time, Tom couldn't react. After a while, Bodo's legs were trembling before he said, "Yes."

Bodo took out a small iron pot from his bag, which looked like an abandoned military iron pot, it was tattered, the paint was almost peeled off, and the sides were full of dents.Opening the lid, Bodo carefully poured the water and tea leaves in the teapot.

"Wash it up, and bring in a pot of water." Tom ignored Bodo, opened the tattered wardrobe, took out the books he bought in London, and began to read.Tom learned English from the pastor in the church, and now he is reading a book introducing the East, and Tom compares it secretly when he reads it. Although everything is similar to Xi Chao, there has never been such a Xi Chao in the far east. dynasty.

The sun slowly moved towards the horizon, and the time passed slowly.
