Chapter 20 Chapter 20
Looking at Tom's back, Bodo thought about the past two days and said: "A few days ago you received a letter, I can assure you that no one has entered your room, and that letter was stuck in the gap of the window Here." Bodo handed over a letter respectfully with both hands, but his words were a little excited, he hoped that Tom would believe him, and he would guard the room carefully when Tom was away.
Since Tom began to disappear inexplicably in the orphanage and reappear inexplicably, he seemed to be his servant as a matter of course.
Yes, Bodo felt that he was Tom's servant, even though the master grew up with him in the orphanage and was younger than himself, Bodo also sincerely served Tom as his master, and he even secretly went to the rich Let the family see how the servants work.
Even if Tom didn't think so, he was just giving instructions.But for the two silver coins that Tom gave him every month, Bodo was ready to give his whole body and soul to Tom.
Tom didn't pay attention to Bodo's psychology at all. He took the letter from Bodo, and under his unbelievable eyes, ink slowly appeared on the blank space on the envelope. It was originally addressed to Mr. Tom Riddle, Now it slowly becomes To Mr. Tom Riddle who is dining in front of the window of the small room on the third floor of the orphanage.
Tom glanced at Bodo, and asked without any strange tone: "Have you read the letter?"
"No, I took it off the window and put it in the drawer." Bo Duo already had that respectful look.
Tom looked away and opened the letter. It was an...or an invitation.
Dear Mr. Riddle: We are pleased to inform you that you have been accepted into Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.Please find a list of required books and instruments in the attachment.School will start on September 31st.Your owls please report to school no later than July [-]st.Your faithful Alples Dumbledore.
Tom raised his eyebrows and said nothing.Bo Duo glanced at him secretly, seeing that he was not angry: "A gentleman came yesterday and said he was looking for you. But because you were not here, he made an appointment with Mrs. Colin to come again today." After a pause, seeing that Tom didn't mean to reject himself, Bodo continued: "Mrs. Colin said some bad things, that gentleman, I can't see what he thinks, but he should be here today after 2 o'clock in the afternoon. "
Squeezing the letter, Tom's heart was churning uncontrollably.Intellectually, he didn't want to answer the letter, but there was a voice in his heart that shouted: "This is your chance, you own the world."
"I see, put everything in the closet, and you can leave." Tom held the small gold ring with one hand, and waved the other hand nonchalantly. As for whether he really didn't care in his heart, I'm afraid Only he knows.
Tom's mind was a little messed up, and his usually clear brain was like a paste. He felt that he needed some clear brain to help him think.
Regardless of Porto, Tom opened the door and went out.
It was still dark, and Daiyu hadn't gotten up yet.Seeing Tom coming back, Nong Ping hurried forward to serve him, thinking he would go back to the courtyard, but Tom walked straight to the main room.Nong Ping didn't dare to ask more questions, so he could only tell the little girl to get the cloak while following Tom.Unexpectedly, within two steps, Tom stopped. After a short pause, Tom turned around and walked towards his own yard, and Nong Ping quickly followed.
Tom suppressed the inexplicable excitement in his heart, restrained himself and let Nong Ping and Zhi Cui wait for him to change his clothes, and then went out.As usual, I went to Daiyu's yard first. Daiyu had already got up, and was obediently sitting on the stool to let Heyan comb her hair.
Tom walked over to take the comb from He Yan, and Daiyu looked at him in the mirror, and asked with a smile: "Do you want to comb my hair?" Well, in the future, if you get tired of being the champion, you can still be a lady who combs your hair. Don't thank me, although I gave you the chance."
This makes sense, but soon Daiyu couldn't laugh anymore: "Oh, are you here to comb your hair or to pull it out."
Tom looked at the strands of black hair on his hands with some embarrassment.Daiyu is still young, and her hair is not long. Usually, she just tie two chirps, twist a few red threads, drop some small gems and so on. When I looked at it, Tom thought it was quite simple, but I didn’t expect it to be so difficult. .
Now Tom's thoughts were on the few hairs in front of him, and all invitations and Hogwarts were forgotten.
Originally, the hair was short and soft, but now my hands are still sweating, sticking together, and the strands are not clear.
Seeing two more broken hairs on Tom's hands, and Daiyu's face getting darker and darker, He Yan summoned up the greatest courage in his life: "Master, it's better to come here as a servant. It's getting late now, Please don't delay."
The sense of frustration is too strong. Tom has never encountered such a thing that he can't solve by himself.He let go of his hair sullenly, and watched Heyan neatly tie up Daiyu's little chirp, Tom's attention was entirely on Daiyu's black hair.
After combing her hair, Daiyu ignored Tom and walked towards the main room with her short legs.Thinking about those few hairs just now, Tom didn't dare to choke with her, so he could only follow behind, walking timidly.
As soon as he entered Jia Min's house, he found his daughter's temper: "Yu'er, what's wrong? Her little face is dark, and she won't be pretty if she doesn't smile."
Daiyu pouted, and pulled the red rope hanging from Jiujiu: "My brother said to comb my hair, but it was all pulled off. Mother, look, the hair is all pulled off." The little girl who loves beauty lowered her head, pointed at her hair, Ruthlessly complained in front of the person concerned.
Jia Min cooperatively patted Daiyu's hair: "Brother is so hateful, shall we punish him for copying books?"
"Let him make a braid for himself." With the red string wrapped around her fingers, Daiyu felt that copying the book was not a good punishment.
"Who will weave the pigtails?" Lin Ruhai came out from the inner room and picked up Daiyu. Jia Min stepped aside and Lin Ruhai sat down.
Daiyu pointed to Tom: "Let my brother braid the pigtails."
Lin Ruhai waved Tom to sit down, and took a look at his hair that had never grown: "Brother, this hair can't be braided."
Been thinking about getting Tom to braid himself to punish him, but don't remember he doesn't have that long hair at all.Daiyu looked at Tom's short hair and felt even more aggrieved.
"But what's the matter with Tang Ge'er's hair? This year, he has grown a lot. Why hasn't his hair grown at all? Every time I go out, I have to wear a hair cover. I'll ask a doctor to take a look at it tomorrow. I should take medicine Take the medicine, and make up for it if you need it." Lin Ruhai looked at Tom's hair and said that the tonic was really sincere.
After taking the tonic for so long, now that Tom hears the word tonic, he reflexively feels nauseated.Just as he was about to refuse, the woman outside passed the meal in. Jia Min greeted everyone to eat, but Tom's words were interrupted.
He took a deep breath and drank a bowl of soup. Early in the morning, Tom felt a little depressed.Daiyu, on the other hand, felt better after seeing Tom's expressionless face.
After dinner, only the girl and daughter-in-law came to clean up, and the family sat back inside. Tom just took out the letter and handed it to Lin Ruhai: "Father, I went back to London yesterday and received this letter."
The format of the letter was a bit unusual, Lin Ruhai took it and opened it with a serious expression: Could it be that Tom's biological parents have come here?It was all in English, and Lin Ruhai didn't understand after reading it, so she asked Tom, "This is it?"
Tom's complexion was not very good either: "I didn't know it when I went back last night, but my partner in the orphanage took it out when I got up this morning. He said that the letter was stuck in the window, and he only put it away when he saw it." Unconsciously pinching the small purse at his waist in his hand: "The letter is from a school called Hogwarts. I heard that a man came to the orphanage to look for me two days ago. I guess it should be the teacher of that school." .”
"School? This matter is quite strange. If it is a letter from the school, it should invite you to study." Lin Ruhai deduced: "But since it is a school, why is this letter not in the hands of the dean of your nursing home, but stuck in yours?" in the window?"
Tom stepped forward, took the envelope, pointed to the addressee in front, and said, "This is even more strange. When I first got the letter, it was written to Mr. Tom Riddle, but I was using the pastry at the time. This letter has become what it is now." As he spoke, Tom read out the recipient's information.
"You mean that this letter can immediately discover your whereabouts and actions?" Lin Ruhai and Jia Min were terrified, but they maintained this posture forcefully.
"Yes, I think I have this ability. After all, I saw it change with my own eyes." Tom confirmed: "And I heard that the man will come to Yangsheng Tang to look for me this afternoon."
"This matter is weird. Whether that person came to you for this reason or something else, he must have done something wrong. Safety is the most important thing. You don't go back today, and you will rarely go back in the future." Lin Ruhai thought about such ghosts and gods. It's better to stay away, but Tom can travel between the two worlds, so I don't know if that person has this ability.
Lin Ruhai was already making a list of monks and priests in different mountains and temples.
"Father, I want to go back and have a look." Normally, Tom seldom refuted Lin Ruhai, but now when Lin Ruhai and Jia Min were terrified, Tom still wanted to go back.
Before Lin Ruhai could say anything, Jia Min came to his senses: "What are you doing back home? The other party doesn't know whether it's evil or evil. You are young, what can you do when you go back? You are alone there, what if you get hurt? You are far away in the sky , we can't help you even if we want to help you. Although our mother-child relationship is only a short year and a half, I have always regarded you as my own son. If you were really injured, wouldn't you want to dig me Go away." Jia Min was talking and thinking about what might happen, she couldn't hold back her tears, she patted Tom on the back, and refused to let him go.
If it wasn't for now, Jia Min wouldn't lose her composure like this, but now, Lin Ruhai's life-and-death crisis in the officialdom has not passed, and her heart hasn't let go for a moment. Died in a foreign country, Jia Min really regarded Tom as his son, and now he can't help it anymore, the tension of the past six months has been knocked to the strings.
The maids quickly surrounded her, and Lin Ruhai also wanted to persuade her.Daiyu didn't quite understand what happened, but seeing Jia Min crying, she couldn't help feeling anxious, and wiped the tears on Jia Min's face with her small hand: "Where is brother going? Brother, don't go."
Seeing Jia Min's real sadness, the guilt in Tom's heart was constantly churning, but now his thinking is clear, and he has a strong premonition in his heart urging him to meet that person and go to that school: "Father, trust me, I have I have a hunch, just like coming home for the first time, I must go out."
Lin Ruhai wanted to yell at Tom and keep him by his side.But seeing Tom's firm and serious expression, he sighed in his heart.Forget it, it was originally a fate destined by the heavens. Since this person appeared, no matter whether it was good or bad, he had to face it.If it is really a catastrophe, if you blindly avoid it, God will always arrange other sufferings to appear.That being the case, it is better to face it face to face.
Thinking of this, Lin Ruhai nodded with difficulty.Seeing that her master agreed, Jia Min felt even more sad, and couldn't stop crying while hugging Tom and Daiyu.
"Mother, don't worry, I will be fine. Just like when I first came here, this is my chance." Tom is not used to comforting someone, he can only talk to Jia Min seriously a feeling of.
Seeing that he couldn't stop it anymore, Jia Min held back his emotions a little bit: "My son, you must be careful, you won't be able to take anyone with you when you go there, and you have to rely on yourself for everything. You have to be good , know how to protect yourself..." The words, the sadness, seemed as if Tom was going to leave at once and never come back again.
Since Tom began to disappear inexplicably in the orphanage and reappear inexplicably, he seemed to be his servant as a matter of course.
Yes, Bodo felt that he was Tom's servant, even though the master grew up with him in the orphanage and was younger than himself, Bodo also sincerely served Tom as his master, and he even secretly went to the rich Let the family see how the servants work.
Even if Tom didn't think so, he was just giving instructions.But for the two silver coins that Tom gave him every month, Bodo was ready to give his whole body and soul to Tom.
