Jasmine waved her thick arms with a complacent expression, as if she was the emperor of this orphanage.The short man next to him held a huge dead mouse in his hand, and the long tail swayed here and there with the thing in his hand.Tom had no doubts that they were going to eat the mouse later.

It's disgusting.

Tom suppressed his nausea and looked at Molly.Jasmine, who was shouting loudly to show her prestige, felt that it was a little hot, but it was winter in London now, so how could it be so hot.Jasmine shook her messy head of hair, but the burning sensation did not decrease at all.

Rich and the little man's servant took a big step back in horror. Jasmine had no energy to pay attention to these things. It was getting hotter and hotter, and Jasmine couldn't help but began to take off her clothes.The clothes were thrown on the mud at her feet, and the vibration grew louder and louder, making the rats in the garbage under Jasmine's feet uncontrollably jump out and flee in all directions.

The fire burst out from Jasmine's body. At first, it was just a small flame. They were hidden in the clothes and hair, and they were not noticed at all. But as Jasmine screamed more and more frightened and painful, the fire became bigger and bigger. , getting bigger and bigger until Ricky and Runt only saw the fireball but not Jasmine.

Ricky and the little man kept backing away, the sudden fire frightened them both, they couldn't even run, they fell straight to the ground, their heads and faces were covered with mud, now they are even closer Like two mice in the gutter.But all of this was not enough to restrain their fear, they crawled forward with all four limbs, hoping to get a little farther away from Jasmine, a little farther, accompanied by their screams that could break through the sky.

Tom frowned, but Lin Ru's upbringing in the past few days prevented him from yelling loudly, but just saying in a normal voice: "Shut up." It was enough for Rich and the little man to find him.

Ricky and the little man, who were obviously out of control just now and almost incontinent, heard the low shut-up in their high-pitched screams strangely.Looking up in shock, Tom's face was exposed through the gap in the window. They couldn't see very clearly, they only saw the dark eyes looking at them. There was no panic or pity in those eyes. Two weeds.

There was no light in the eyes, not even the fear.Rich and the runt didn't realize that Molly had lost her voice, that she was no longer struggling, or even that the window was closed.They only had one breath choked in their throats, and their bodies were cold, thinking of two mice that had died in the mud.

"Rich, Angeda, what are you doing again? You bastards, what are you doing? Oh my God, why did you throw Jasmine's clothes here, you have to wash them all today, hurry up, Otherwise, don’t even think about having dinner.” Mrs. Colin came cursing from behind them, her rough voice woke up Rich and Angeda: “My God, what is this, what did you burn? You bastards , God will punish you."

Jasmine had been burnt into a shapeless black charcoal that could not be seen as a person.Mrs. Colin did not find this Molly.

Rich and Angeda were terrified. Angeda couldn't speak at all. Rich murmured, "This is Jasmine." I think they are both stupid.

Two fools.

Mrs. Colin looked at Rich, then turned back to look at the pile of black charcoal, her eyes were filled with surprise, and she waved her hands to drive away the surrounding children: "Okay, get out of here, don't be like wild dogs anymore Get here and leave now."

After the children had left, Mrs. Colin turned her head to look at the pile of black charcoal, and looked up at the closed window above it for a long time.

A cold wind hit, and the already dark sky in London seemed even darker now.

Tom didn't care about the lives of people outside at all. He took off the boy's clothes on his own, changed into tattered clothes, and took out a small gold bracelet from his purse.This was when Lin Ruhai and Jia Min gave Tom a gift after the ceremony, and Daiyu insisted on giving it like a grown-up.Jia Min looked at the Coke and asked Tom to take it.

Rubbing the little gold ring, Tom forced himself to settle down, thinking about what to do next.

Before he could think of a clue, the door was violently opened, and there was Mrs. Colin standing outside the door.Tom raised an eyebrow, turned to look at her, and said nothing.

Mrs. Colin seemed about to say something, but only squirmed her lips under Tom's gaze.There was a moment's silence, and she turned and walked away without saying anything, as if Tom wasn't here.

From Mrs. Colin's expression, Tom felt that he seemed to have found a good way to survive here.The way Mrs. Colin shrank and feared just now turned in his mind, and Tom was very satisfied with such fear.

Tom sat by the window for a long time, with a presentiment in his heart that he would be able to go back.Sitting in front of the window without saying a word, carefully analyzing the scenes of each time I shuttled past, trying to find the opportunity for the shuttle, but every time I focus on that point, my thoughts will be inexplicably scattered.

A rustling sound came from the door, but it stopped after a second or two, followed by heavy footsteps.Tom ignored it and sat by the window.To put it another way, since he couldn't think about it, Tom memorized the homework he had studied for the past five days in his heart, while devoting his mind to mobilizing the strength in his body, and sat down to try various things.

The sun had begun to set, and Tom had been working in this room all day, and now he felt hungry.He took out the small snacks in his pocket. Today’s purse is prepared with mung bean cakes, which are specially prepared by Jia Min. They are easy to put snacks, let him carry them with him, and change a new small pocket every half a day, just to prevent this kind of Tom Sudden shuttle situation.

The orphanage under the night is as quiet as a cemetery.Putting on the cloak, Tom walked out as he wished, and opened the door. There were two pitifully small potatoes on the ground. Tom hooked into the room and walked out.

Before he took two steps, thin candle flames were reflected in front of his eyes, and he fixed his eyes again, and there was already the door of Daiyu's room in front of him.Tom pushed open the door and went in through the curtain. The little girl watching the night watched the curtain hanging in the air and almost cried out. The girl next to him hurriedly covered her mouth and saluted to the void: " uncle."

Tom glanced past them, lowered the curtain and walked in by himself.Daiyu's nanny was sleeping on the small bed that kept watch over the night, and when she heard the girl's soft voice at the door, she hurriedly got up and saluted in the direction of the door: "Master."

Tom had already come to the bed and opened the bed curtain a crack, only then did the nanny realize that Tom had arrived at the bed, looked at the opened bed curtain, and hurriedly stepped forward: "Master, you can't help it, it's so late at night, don't let me go!" Let my sister catch the wind."

Hearing the deliberately lowered shrill voice, Tom turned his head and looked at Nanny Wang gloomyly.Mammy Wang, whose vest suddenly felt cold, found that she suddenly couldn't speak, couldn't move her hands and feet. People said that this brother Tang was evil, and he really was evil.When Nanny Wang raised her head in horror, she saw Tom sitting beside the bed. The disgust in her eyes was like looking at a disgusting corpse, so that Nanny Wang almost lost control, and she didn't realize that she Really saw Tom.

Tom turned his head, and Wang Momo sat on the ground with her whole body loosened, but now she was so frightened that she didn't dare to breathe loudly.

Daiyu slept well in the bed, and the whole doll was wrapped in a small quilt, like a silkworm baby.It's just that this silkworm baby didn't sleep so well, breathing thinly and a little anxiously, with frowning eyebrows, and the eyeballs under the eyelids were still rolling slightly.

Tom put his hand on the quilt, and without Tom mobilizing that force, it automatically moved towards Daiyu. During the back and forth, the impotent irritability in Tom's heart gradually calmed down.This power began to slow down, and as Daiyu fell into a deep sleep, it began to flow with her breathing.

Feeling the power induced by Daiyu return to his body, Tom frowned.Only by relying on this power can he live well until now, even if it is only from the power of the devil, but now this power is not based on himself when facing Daiyu, but is shifting according to Daiyu's will.

This uncontrollable situation made Tom feel a little uneasy, but he felt that it was not unacceptable.

Daiyu really slept well. Tom stood up and was about to go back to his room. When he passed by Nanny Wang, he said, "Yu'er has slept well, take good care of me."

Before Tom raised the curtain himself, the two little girls who were guarding the door were there.The girl who almost couldn't help screaming just now is still timidly shrinking to the side, but it's another girl who, seeing Tom coming out, quickly picked up the lantern and opened the door curtain: "It's getting late now, this slave will send brother back to the room .”

Tom found that every time he came back, more people could see him.Tom couldn't help but wonder in his heart, does this mean that more and more people will see him when he shuttles a few more times, and can he stay here forever?Tom tried hard to suppress the premonition in his heart that he couldn't stay here for a long time, and the results of the rational analysis made him very excited.

Regardless of these, Tom went out the door, and the little girl turned on the lights in front of him, leading them all the way to the front yard.Tom's yard is next to Lin Ruhai's inner study, which is said to be the front yard, but in fact, the second door is further ahead, so there are only two women guarding the door. Seeing that they are from the girl's room, they say He was lighting the lamp for the uncle, even though he had heard about such a thing, he didn't dare to let him go just like that, he begged loudly, and only waited for the people around his wife to arrive before talking about it.

Then he gave up the cover house for the night watch, and told his brother to go in and rest for a while.

The little girl turned around and looked down at Tom, seeing him nodding before leading him into the hut.The mother-in-law who went to ask for instructions and reports said nothing, the other woman hurriedly took out a new seat, poured out new tea, and took a stack of snacks.

Tom only took a sip from his teacup, and took another mouthful of his pastry.I sighed in my heart: the desserts brought out by those rich people who came to the orphanage to give alms were nothing compared to the snacks offered by the guards of the Lin family.

After taking a bite of the pastry, a girl wearing a dark green cloak came in, about fifteen or sixteen years old. When he lifted the hat, Tom saw her face and recognized the green glaze beside Jia Min.

Tom recognized it, and the woman guarding the door naturally recognized it too, and hurried forward, bowing again and again. Green glaze stretched out her hand to interrupt her and only said to Tom's heart: "Greetings, brother. Brother is back. At this moment, the master and wife know , I was going to come, but the master will go to the embankment to inspect the official duties tomorrow. I am afraid that I will not sleep well tonight and delay the official duties tomorrow, so my wife persuaded me to come down. Our wife is also tired because of the child in my aunt’s belly recently. I'm afraid that it will get worse after a while at night, and it will make my brother feel distressed. Therefore, my brother will take a rest tonight. The master said that tomorrow will still be the same time for studying, but my brother can finish his rest today, and he is allowed to take an extra rest. Time passes."

Carefully watching Tom nodded, he said to the woman next to him: "Don't open the door yet, don't delay the uncle's rest."

The woman who was standing behind to report just now took out the key from her pocket and opened the door.
