Chapter 4 Orphanage (please vote for further reading!!!)
When Ma Wei opened the kitchen door, he saw a cat with quite artistic feelings.
Xiao Hei stood by the window, staring at the fiery morning sun on the horizon, and said in a sad tone: "Why do I live? Why do I die?"
"What is the meaning of cats' existence?"
"Behind the cute appearance, is there danger or purity hidden?"
Ma Wei looked at the newspaper spread out on the table and immediately guessed that it must have read the excerpts from Shakespeare's plays.
"Ah! Master, you are here! Meow! I was wrong! I don't dare to do it anymore, meow!"
The moment he saw Ma Wei, all his literary and artistic feelings, Shakespeare, were driven out of Xiao Hei's mind. He rushed to Ma Wei's feet and cried loudly: "The master is so cruel. He knew that Xiao Hei was afraid of the dark, but he still
Lock Xiao Hei in the kitchen all night. UuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuThree little fishes can’t survive without it, meow!”
Perhaps because he felt that he had done a good job in underselling, Xiao Hei showed off the level of a face-changing master in the next second, as if he had been greatly wronged.
"Ah"
Ma Wei sneered: "If you scream again, be careful and I will cut off your balls."
"Meow meow meow?!"
Xiao Hei's whole cat was shocked and cut off his balls. What kind of torture is this?!
Without its balls, how can it get out and interact with other little female cats?
After thinking about this, Xiao Hei immediately became obedient and stopped barking, let alone eating the dried fish. He obviously cared more about his balls than the current taste.
That is the long-term solution.
Fat Orange walked past it without even looking at it.
"Dad, what should we have for breakfast?"
Yunia climbed onto the high stool and cast an expectant look.
"Canned ham, green peas, bread and butter, and a glass of holy water."
Ma Wei took out a few cans from the cabinet, opened them with a can opener, poured them into the plate, and handed them to Yunia along with the butter and bread: "You must eat vegetables and take more vitamins. I saw you didn't eat them last night.
Tomato, it’s not a good habit to be picky eaters. Grandma doesn’t like children who are picky eaters.”
Even so, when Yunia saw the green peas on the plate, she still couldn't eat them. Finally, while Ma Wei was reading the newspaper, she quietly placed the green peas in front of Fat Orange.
"Good boy, please help me eat it, okay?"
Junia kissed it.
Fat Orange: "."
As a carnivorous cat, Fat Orange's menu includes only meat and fish, and he occasionally eats a few pieces of cat grass. Hei is completely different from Xiao Hei who always refuses to come.
If Ma Wei asked him to eat green peas, he would definitely sneer and ignore him, but
Faced with Yunia's plea, Fat Orange, who has always been immune to food,
Finally he lowered his noble head.
It ate the green peas in two bites, and then beat up the fat little black guy who kept trying to please Ma Wei.
This scene was all seen by Ma Wei.
He didn't say anything, he just felt.
Yunia, who has extraordinary power, seems to be able to live well without herself.
After breakfast, Mavey put the used dishes into the sink. At nine o'clock, Mrs. Cecil would come over to clean up and light the stove. This was also included in the weekly fee of 10 shillings.
"Master! Master, don't leave, master!"
The little black butt followed behind Ma Wei: "Your cat is still hungry! Meow!"
"Yes, I almost forgot about this."
Seeing Ma Wei stop, Xiao Hei's eyes lit up: "Master, you really still love me, meow! Xiao Hei wants to eat canned mackerel! Dried fish will do too!"
With a weird smile on his lips, Ma Wei returned to the kitchen, took out a box of canned mackerel from the cabinet, and opened it.
Put it in front of Fat Orange.
Xiao Hei, who was full of expectations, quickly reminded: "Master, big brother, he eats three meals a day outside, and he never eats anything at home!"
"Yes, this is a good cat." Ma Wei touched Fat Orange's head: "He never causes trouble to his master, and he never calls his master a fool."
"."
"This can is a reward for obedient kittens. Disobedient kittens will have no food to eat and will have their balls cut off."
"Xiao Hei is obedient! Xiao Hei is the most obedient, meow!"
"Then can you promise that you will never say what others say in front of outsiders?"
Seeing this, Ma Wei finally spoke his mind.
A cat that speaks human language?
This kind of thing is comparable to a fantasy. Once it is publicized, it will inevitably attract countless prying eyes.
It must be resolved as soon as possible.
After Xiao Hei nodded vigorously and vowed not to speak in front of outsiders, Mawei opened a can of mackerel for him.
Looking at Xiao Hei devouring the food, Ma Wei felt in his heart that he was really a broad-minded, gentle and kind-hearted master. Then he put on his hat, wrapped a brown woolen scarf around Yunia, and walked out of the house.
8 a.m., South Street, Orphanage.
"I wish you all the best, Father."
Six copper pennies jingled into his arms, and the coachman quickly jumped onto the back of the carriage and drove away in the Hansam carriage.
Unlike Bill Market, South Street is a relatively peaceful area. Although there are many thieves at night who attack drunkards who have had too much, it is still very safe during the day.
Ma took Yunia's little hand and stepped forward to knock on the dilapidated door of the orphanage.
"Dad, where is the orphanage?"
While waiting for the management to open the door, Yunia, who was wearing a long white dress, looked curiously at the old building that looked like an abandoned hospital in front of her. She held Mavie's hand tightly and refused to leave.
"An orphanage is a place where orphans are taken in."
Ma Wei explained briefly: "There are many children here who are similar to your age. Nine years ago, there was a severe famine in this land. Many people died and the number of orphans also increased suddenly, so some kind-hearted nobles
So he funded the construction of an orphanage, specifically to help homeless children. This orphanage was built with personal funds from the Lord of New Ross City, Arthur Windsor, who was also the fourth prince of the Kingdom of Windsor."
"Is he a good man?"
"Compared to the children in the workhouse who don't have enough food and clothing, the children living in the orphanage do think that the fourth prince is a good person."
"Oh" Yunia nodded in understanding.
Click.
While talking, the door opened, and a grandma with a baby in her arms and a look of exhaustion on her face appeared in front of Ma Wei. Behind her were a group of children wearing loose coats.
"Good morning, Father." Auntie forced a smile.
"Good morning, Mrs. Thyssen."
Ma Wei took off his hat and said, "You don't seem to have had a good rest."
"A child had a fever and cried until three or four in the morning. In addition to the sudden shock last night," Mother Thiessen sighed: "I only slept for an hour. Huh?"
Aunt Thiessen saw Yunia standing next to Ma Wei and said in surprise: "She is."
"Her name is Niya." Mawei said before Yunia could answer: "We just met last night. Is it convenient to go in now?"
"Of course! Look at my head, I'm just chatting with you, Father."
Mother Tissen, who was holding the baby in her arms, quickly moved out of the way, waited for Ma Wei and the others to enter the orphanage, closed the door, and locked it with the key before turning around and saying hello: "Gulhana! Gulhana! Damn it,
Where has this little girl gone?"
On the other side, Ma Wei has been surrounded by a group of children.
"Father! Father! What story are you going to tell us today?"
"Father, Father, I want to eat honey candies!"
"Be honest! How many times have I told you, Kurtz, don't pull on the priest's clothes! And McKinney, why are you climbing on the priest! He is not a tree! Come down quickly!"
Under the loud scolding of Aunt Thiessen, the once chaotic situation finally subsided. Mawei calmly smoothed the wrinkles on his clothes and always maintained a calm smile on his face. He came to the orphanage every Friday to preach and tell stories, and he had to suffer
Similar 'ordeal'.
Today, he has long developed a good mentality that will not change even if the mountain collapses in front of him.
After all, in his eyes, these naughty children have a chance of becoming the most loyal believers of the Church of Truth in the future.
He believes that day will not be too far away.
Yunia, who came to the orphanage for the first time, was frightened. She was crowded around by the children, like a bowling ball. As soon as the scene became quiet, she immediately returned behind Ma Wei, grabbed his clothes, and used
Got the urge to suck milk.
"Have Maimaiti and the others gone to work?"
Surrounded by a group of children, Ma Wei walked into the activity room and asked.
"It's really unfortunate that we just left just a short time ago."
Aunt Thiessen said: "But they will come back for dinner at noon, and you will definitely be able to meet. Father, please sit here for a while, and I will pour you tea. I will also go to find Gulihana. I can handle it by myself."
There are not so many children!”
There are 53 children in the entire orphanage, 6 nuns, and 1 director. Normally, it would not be so busy, but there was an earthquake last night. Ma Wei estimated that everyone else went to inspect the facilities, so he only stayed
17-year-old Gulhana and Grandma Thiessen.
"Today, we continue to tell the story of Yunia, the goddess of truth, and the evil dragon."
Ma Wei sat on the stool, put his hat aside, took out the Book of Truth, turned to the middle page, and cleared his throat.
When the children heard that the priest was about to tell a story, they immediately sat down and listened carefully with their eyes wide open.
"Well, where did you talk about last time?"
"It talks about the goddess Yunia pulling out the sword in the stone and single-handedly killing the castle where the dragon was holding the princess!" McKinney, who was sitting in the front and liked to climb trees, answered loudly.
"Yes, yes." Ma Wei turned over a page and muttered harmoniously: "In order to prevent thieves from invading the castle while he was sleeping, the evil dragon planted a large number of blood thorns outside the castle. These thorns are full of inverted thorns.
Thorns like to suck blood. Any creature entangled by it will be squeezed into dried flesh in pain. In this regard, the goddess Yunia came up with a good plan."
Junia, who was sitting next to Ma Wei, listened blankly to the story. Although she was the protagonist of the story, she had no impression of pulling out the sword in the stone or challenging the evil dragon. Fortunately, this did not hinder her.
Listen to dad tell stories.
In Ma Wei's vivid narration, the atmosphere was set off so well that everyone was fascinated.
How to insert the beliefs of the Church of Truth into the story-telling process and subtly change the audience's perception is the most important thing.
Ma Wei has rich experience, and this little thing cannot trouble him at all.
"During the battle, the goddess Yunia was seriously injured. She came to a mountain spring and washed her holy body with the spring water. The blood flowed into the spring water. A magical scene appeared. Okay, it's getting late. Let's talk about it today.
Here, if you want to know what happens next, let’s listen to the explanation in the next chapter.”
Fast forward to noon, Ma Wei slowly closed the book and ended today's 'sermon' with dull eyes.
The children almost exploded on the spot.
The four Maimaiti people who hurried back only heard the last short paragraph. They felt like cats scratching their hearts, but there was nothing they could do.
As regretful as they were, there was Gulhana who was captured by Aunt Thiessen - she had been hiding behind and listening for a long time.
"Miss Gulhana, long time no see." Ma Wei stepped forward and said hello to her.
"Long time no see, Father."
Gulhana lifted up her skirt with both hands, tapped the ground with her left toe, and said with a smile: "You tell stories really well."
"Only a good listener can understand a good story." Ma Wei smiled slightly and looked behind her: "Isn't Sister Thiessen here?"
"She went to prepare lunch. Do you have anything to do with her?"
"I have something to ask of you."
Ma Wei glanced at Yunia behind him, lowered his voice and said, "Actually, it's like this."
"Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah."
Gulhana nodded while listening, and occasionally glanced at Yunia. After listening, she said: "So that's it, it's okay. We are such an institution. Father, you don't need to feel any psychological pressure. Just pay attention."
Give it to us."
"Then please."
Mawei nodded and saluted, then turned around and said to Yunia: "Yunia, I have to go out for a while, how about you stay here and play games with sister Gulihana?"
"Dad, will you come back to pick me up?" Yunia lowered her head and said.
With a thump in his heart, Ma Wei didn't expect that Yunia already understood what he was going to do.
He opened his mouth, as if he had lost his voice, and could not utter a word. Finally, Gulhana came forward, took Yunia's little hand and said, "Father, go ahead and leave this place to me."
"Ah huh."
Ma Wei stood up, slowly put on his hat, and tried his best to lower the brim of the hat. When he could no longer see Yunia's eyes, he turned and left.
