Strange talk live room

Boom!

The ax struck.

The firewood split into two halves and fell to the ground.

I bent down to pick up the firewood, stacked it neatly on the pile of firewood, and then took a new firewood and stood it on the pile.

The ax was raised again.

I looked outside the curtain intentionally or unintentionally.

In the cafeteria, the whispers between Sister Wang and the old woman cooking were replaced by small talk.

However, the old woman's eyes glanced here from time to time, searching for Li Xiaohei's figure, as if she was planning something.

I calmly adjusted my position to block Li Xiaohei.

Li Xiaohei sat obediently on the bench next to me. After looking at me for a while, he couldn't sit still anymore and came over to help me carry firewood.

I chopped firewood honestly for a long time.

I stopped when I heard Sister Wang say it's okay, it's time to cook.

Put the big ax aside, stack the firewood neatly, and use a broom to clean up the debris.

"You're quite neat at work."

The old cooking woman came in with a vegetable basket and said something.

"Yes, you can't live here for nothing, right?" I hugged Xiao Hei honestly, "Is there any other work you need help with, grandma?"

"Just call me Aunt Ma like them. It has nothing to do with you here. Go out." The old woman waved her hand to me.

"Okay, if you need anything, just say hello."

I carried Xiao Hei out of the kitchen.

Sister Wang is cleaning up the debris on the ground.

"Please wipe the table, it will be time to eat in a while." She glanced at me and said coldly.

"Hey, okay."

I brought a rag over, put Li Xiaohei on the chair, and wiped the table.

"Aunt Ma seems to be quite young. Why does she usually do all the kitchen work alone?"

"She doesn't like people watching her while she's cooking." Sister Wang said calmly.

"What about the hard work of chopping firewood? I've been in the courtyard for a while, and all I see are women, not a single male employee?" I asked deliberately.

"There is a male teacher, but what use is he? He is not as strong as I am, so Aunt Ma can do all the work by herself even if she chops firewood."

Sister Wang suddenly stopped and handed the garbage bucket to me.

"Why are you asking here and there? If you talk so much, there won't be enough work for you to do, right? Go take out the trash!"

"Now I am also a member of the courtyard. Isn't it necessary to understand the situation?" I took the garbage bucket with a smile and took Xiao Hei out.

Aunt Ma looks extremely old, short and fat, but she can swing the big ax to chop firewood.

And when I left last time, the guard Fang gave off that dangerous aura when he chased me.

It can be seen that the "people" here are not simple.

I walked to the wall and opened the lid of the large trash can.

A putrid stench suddenly hit his face, making him sick.

I quickly covered my nose and looked inside.

Sandwiched among the various garbage was a rotting object that looked like a severed hand.

The trash cans here are used to throw away food waste.

Does the orphanage eat food?

I frowned, quickly poured out the garbage, and closed the lid of the large trash can.

Then he took a deep breath, straightened his expression, and returned to the cafeteria calmly.

"Sister Wang, do you have any other work?"

"If you are so restless, go and clean the teaching building." Sister Wang sat on the chair and hummed.

"Okay, I'll go right away."

Putting down the trash can, I took Li Xiaohei out of the kitchen and went to the teaching building.

I am not afraid that she will let me work, but I am afraid that she will not let me walk around.

Now that you have a legitimate reason to move around the orphanage, you can better obtain clues and trigger additional tasks as soon as possible.

"Teacher Jiang, Sister Wang arranged for me to come over and clean."

When I arrived at the door of the office, I knocked on the door and went in. I grabbed a broom from the wall.

Teacher Jiang, who was sitting behind his desk, was stunned for a moment, then nodded.

"Sweep if you want."

I put Xiao Hei aside and began to sweep the floor slowly.

There are several desks in this office, and they are piled with things like old textbooks and homework books, but most of them are covered with dust.

There are even textbooks and homework books on some desks that are still opened and the pens are put aside.

It's as if the teacher suddenly encountered something urgent while correcting homework. He left in a hurry and never came back.

Only two tables showed signs of use.

It was unusually clean and tidy, and Teacher Jiang was sitting behind it reading.

The other tabletop was messy, the drawers were not completely closed, and there was a dirty old suit jacket hanging on the back of the chair.

It can be seen that the owner is a slovenly person.

"Teacher Jiang, how many teachers are there in our courtyard? Why are these tables covered with dust?" I asked while sweeping.

"It's just me and Teacher Yang now."

"Ah?" I was surprised, "Then where have these teachers gone?"

"left."

"Where have you been and will you come back?"

"I'm going to class. Don't move those tables. Just sweep the floor." Teacher Jiang stood up and arranged the textbooks, as if he didn't want to talk about this topic.

Jingle Bell--

The bell rings.

Then, there was a slight noise from children on the second floor.

Not long after.

An unshaven male teacher with messy hair walked into the office angrily with his textbook under his arm.

"I'm furious!"

"These little bastards, they don't take class seriously and they just know how to cause trouble."

He suddenly saw me sweeping the floor and was stunned.

"Who are you?"

"He is a new employee, his name is Li Xiaofeng, and the children over there are also orphans he brought here with him." Teacher Jiang walked out from behind the desk with a textbook and explained.

"New here?!" The male teacher's eyes widened in disbelief, with an extremely exaggerated expression, "Teacher Jiang, the road outside is blocked, where can the new guy come from?"

"Maybe the seal has been lifted. If Uncle Fang can let him in, it means there is no problem." Teacher Jiang said calmly.

The male teacher paused and said, "Don't trust that old man too much. What's our current situation?"

"Teacher Yang, have you forgotten the purpose of this orphanage? I am following the instructions of the old director."

Teacher Jiang had a straight face and hurried out with his books.

"How many years has the old dean been gone?" The male teacher snorted coldly, staggered to his seat and sat down, looking at me sideways.

"It doesn't matter how you came here or what you came for, the end result will be the same anyway."

His eyes were strange. Although he didn't like me, he didn't show any hostility.

On the contrary, there is a sense of schadenfreude.

"You are Teacher Yang, I am Xiao Li, and we will be colleagues from now on. What did you mean by what you just said?"

I walked over politely and said hello.

"What's the use of telling you?" Teacher Yang sat sideways on the chair, picked up the thermos cup, unscrewed the lid and took a sip.

The strong smell of alcohol wafted out.

It was low-quality liquor, but he drank it very drunk, shaking his head.

There was also a relaxed smile on his face, immersed in his own world.

Although he didn't say much, his words, combined with the attitudes of other people in the orphanage, can make it clear.

They don't care about my origins or my purpose.

Being so confident, generally speaking, he has absolute confidence in taking me down.

But would I really let them control me?
