Flowers bloom silently

Chapter 397 Extra Story: The Forgotten Corner (2)

Xiao Miao looked at the heavy snow falling one after another outside the window, wondering if the snow would stop tomorrow?If she couldn't stop, how would she go out and sell small handicrafts?Is it possible that I have to go hungry again?

Just as she was thinking, the door of the room was pushed open from the outside, and she and Da Miao, who were in the innermost position, hurriedly lay back on the bed, pretending to be asleep.

Xiao Miao hid half of her head under the quilt, half-closed her eyes and looked in the direction of the door. The dim light in the corridor came in from the open door, casting two figures, one big and one small standing inside the door, into the room. In the dark and crowded room, they stretched very long, covering several rows of beds before stopping.

Although it was against the light, she recognized the tall and thin person at a glance as Mrs. Green, the director of the orphanage. She was in charge of many things, including finances, daily life, hygiene, and even supervised the work of the children.She is Mrs. Sig's cousin, and the two cousins ​​are very bad-hearted. She and Big Meow secretly call them witches.And the small figure in Mrs. Green's hand is a girl. She has two braids and holds a toy in her arms. Against the light, she doesn't recognize what kind of toy it is.Judging from her height, the girl was very small, probably only four or five years old.

Mrs. Green led the little girl into the room, walked in from the small aisle, and did not stop until the empty bed at Xiaomao's feet. She unfolded the quilt on the bed, patted the bed, and whispered to the child: " Baby, you can just sleep in this bed, if you want to open it up, this will be your home from now on, I hope someone with good intentions will take you away as soon as possible, and you will have a better life with a new family."

In this way, every child who has just arrived here has heard it, and they seem to care about it, but in fact they have no emotion at all.

Mrs. Green left, and as soon as the door was closed, the whole room returned to its original grayness.

Xiao Miao pulled down the quilt covering her head, looked at the little girl through the faint light outside the window, her brows were full of sadness, her red nose wrinkled from crying, and she tightened her grip on the toy in her arms. Meow saw what it was, it was a half-worn doll, very cute, with blond hair, big blue eyes, and a small cherry red mouth.But compared with the little girl, the cuteness of this doll pales in comparison. She is the most beautiful child Xiao Miao has ever seen.But it is such a little angel who has been reduced to the same situation as the children here, without mother or father, without any support.

As if feeling that someone was watching her, the little girl with tears in her eyes turned her face leisurely, and looked at Xiao Miao who was lying on the bed, which made Xiao Miao nervously grab the quilt.

The little girl just glanced at her, and then turned her face away. She gently put the doll on the bed, took off the shoes on her feet clumsily, and then supported the surface of the bed with both hands, and climbed onto the bed with difficulty.

Xiao Miao thought it was so late, the little girl should lie down and sleep, but she didn't, she sat on the innermost position of the bed, so that she could lean against the window, she picked up the doll again, and looked at the world outside the window , After watching for a long time, tears fell involuntarily.

Ugh-
Xiao Miao and Da Miao have seen such a scene many times.She sighed, got up wrapped in the quilt, and moved to the seat at the end of the bed, leaning against the little girl.

"It's cold, don't cry, be good!" She comforted the little girl in a low voice.

"I miss Mom and Dad!" The little girl's voice was soft and weak, which was heartbreaking.

"They will watch you in the sky, they will always guard you!" This is what Da Miao once said to Xiao Miao, and now she can only use the same words to comfort the little girl.

After hearing her words, the little girl couldn't help raising her head and looked out the window at the dark night.

The big cat in the next bed also woke up. She climbed to the bed next to the little cat, sat down next to the little cat, tilted her head to look at the beautiful little girl with tears on her face, pursed her lips lightly, and asked softly after a while: " are you hungry?"

"Well, I haven't eaten all day, I'm so hungry!" The little girl rubbed her stomach with one free hand. After being reminded by Da Miao, her stomach started to growl again, and the sound was really loud. , Even Little Meow and Big Meow heard it.

"Wait a minute!" Big Cat shrugged, and crawled back to her bed again, and took out a newspaper wrapped under the pillow. She opened the newspaper and found a large loaf of bread inside, which was her food storage. Prepare for a rainy day.She broke half of the bread, then carefully wrapped the remaining half in newspaper and hid it under the pillow before crawling back.

"Here you are!" Da Miao handed the half piece of bread to the little girl.

"Thank you big sister!" The little girl took the bread and ate it hungrily. Xiao Miao thought of herself just now.

"My name is Big Miao, and I am 9 years old. The one who is two years younger than me is Xiao Miao. What is your name and how old are you?" Big Miao made an introduction and asked the little girl.

"My name is Sophie, and I'm four years old." The little girl answered Big Meow vaguely.

"It's so small... But it's okay, small children are easy to be adopted, and they think it's easier to develop relationships with younger children, unlike me, who is too big, and no one will look down on them at all." Big Miao pouted.

"If you don't like it, don't look down on it. With me by your side, we won't need adults to take care of us when we get older." Xiao Miao never wanted to be adopted, she would rather survive in this dilapidated orphanage , When she is a little older, she will run away, run far away, and live a free life with Big Miao.

"Stop talking silly, go to sleep!" Big Miao pinched Xiao Miao's thin face, shook her head, crawled back to her bed, wrapped herself in a quilt and fell asleep.

"Go to bed early after eating, it's cold at night!" Xiao Miao looked at Sophie, who was still eating bread, and then lay down after giving instructions.

……

The next morning the snow had stopped.Miraculously, the sun emerged from the clouds and shone warmly on the snow accumulated on both sides of the road by snowplows, reflecting a bright light.

Xiao Miao was carrying a basket of small handicrafts to sell in the streets and alleys as usual.At noon, at the corner of the street in the downtown area, she saw the figure of Big Meow running through the crowd, and thought that it would be great if the two of them could find a place to sit down and eat the bread that was as hard as a stone and chat for a while. chased after.However, after chasing for half a street, she was forced to stop. Big Miao was caught by a middle-aged man in a mink coat, and a high-end leather clip was left by their feet...

The big meow was struggling in the middle-aged man's hand, and she kicked the man with an idea, trying to escape, but was picked up by a strong man in black behind him like a chicken, and she was afraid again. He screamed helplessly, attracting more passers-by to watch.Another strong man in black walked around them, picked up the wallet from the ground and returned it to the middle-aged man. Looking at the situation, the two men in black seemed to be bodyguards hiding in the crowd, guarding the wallet all the time. middle-aged man.
