After Jiang Li and the others left the "activity room", they put on transparent raincoats together and went to the cafeteria as a team.
The sky outside the wooden house was still covered with dark clouds.
The rain was heavy and kept falling, accompanied by thunder and lightning from time to time.
On the way to the cafeteria, I passed by the small fork in the road.
Jiang Li glanced at the fork in the road subconsciously.
This time, she saw the man again.
There was blood on the man's clothes. He was about forty or fifty years old.
He still didn't wear a raincoat, so he just stood there in the heavy rain, staring in Jiang Li's direction without blinking.
Jiang Li felt even more strange.
She wanted to take a few more glances, but Yingying suddenly came closer and blocked Jiang Li's sight.
Yingying's eyes always give people an inexplicable sharpness.
She turned her back to the two boys in front of her and deliberately lowered her voice when speaking to Jiang Li.
"Hey, Lili, do you want to be adopted? If you really want to, please beg me and I can give you the opportunity."
Yingying speaks loudly and has the air of a superior person.
Jiang Li looked at her and curled her lips slightly.
Then he pulled out a piece of paper and shook it open.
It read: "Thank you. You are such a good person."
Jiang Lipi smiled and squinted slightly.
This operation confused Yingying.
Yingying originally thought that Jiang Li had a stubborn temper and would never ask for charity from others.
She originally planned to make Jiang Li angry, so she pretended to be bullied and stabbed Jiang Li in the back.
In the end, she didn't expect that Jiang Li would agree so readily! ?
Yingying felt a little angry.
If you say it now, it's hard to take it back.
But she didn't want to really give the opportunity to Jiang Li.
So he had to suppress his temper and pretend to be indifferent.
"Oh, there are many opportunities like this, and I'm not in a hurry."
After Yingying said this, she turned around and walked away quickly.
She ran two steps quickly and walked up to Xiao Zhengtai and Hei Xiaozi to chat.
Jiang Li looked at Yingying's back and sneered at the corner of his mouth.
What Yingying said about "she's not in a hurry" was naturally false.
As soon as Jiang Li heard that tone, she knew that Yingying was almost dying of anxiety.
Everyone knows that all the orphans in this "Sunshine Orphanage" will not live past the age of 7.
Although I don’t know why, the age of 7 is indeed a turning point.
Before the age of 7, they will either be adopted out or die here.
This is why those teachers and childcare workers were secretly shedding tears during their birthday just now.
Because this birthday party held in advance is likely to be the last birthday celebration for their children.
The four children walked to the door of the cafeteria together.
Yingying's caregiver was waiting for her at the door.
So Yingying took the nursery's hand and went in directly.
When it was Jiang Li's turn, the black boy was about to enter the cafeteria, but Jiang Li raised his hand and stopped him.
The black boy looked at Jiang Li doubtfully, "What's wrong, Lili? Aren't you going in to eat?"
This black guy's eyes are clear, but they don't work well.
Jiang Li pointed to the note at the door.
That's a new rule.
[Sunshine Orphanage-Activity Rules] Article 1:
[When entering the canteen, you must be accompanied by a childcare worker. Otherwise your safety will not be guaranteed. 】
This rule is clearly written.
In fact, in most cases, childcare workers wait for the children to finish class before bringing them over.
But Jiang Li and their caregiver died last night.
Today's childcare workers don't care at all about the life and death of children like Jiang Li.
Naturally, it was impossible to wait for Jiang Li and the others to enter the cafeteria together.
The three of them stopped.
While they were waiting at the door, they happened to meet Aunt Xiaoyu coming out.
Aunt Xiaoyu took the little fat girl.
The little fat girl greeted them warmly.
"Sister Lili! And brother Yangyang and brother Zhuangzhuang, what are you doing here?" The little fat girl was surprised.
The "Brother Zhuangzhuang" in the little fat girl's mouth refers to the black boy.
That "Brother Yangyang" should be Mr. Shota.
Jiang Li didn't know the name of this somewhat mysterious young lady until now.
After hearing the little fat girl's question, the little shot said seriously:
"We are waiting for Aunt Xiaoyu. Aunt Xiaoyu, please take us in for dinner."
Aunt Xiaoyu next to her had a lollipop in her mouth and glanced at Xiaozhengtai up and down.
Then he shook his head decisively.
"No. Why should I sacrifice my rest time and take you all the way to eat? If you want to eat, just go in and eat by yourself, and no one will stop you."
After Aunt Xiaoyu said this, she hugged the little fat girl and left without looking back.
Jiang Li was not surprised.
It was only to be expected that this fake nursery would abandon them.
What Jiang Li cared about wasn't this, but... the lollipop in Aunt Xiaoyu's mouth!
Jiang Li had seen something similar to that candy in Black Boy's little iron box.
Jiang Li was sure that it was something from the "Candy House".
And Jiang Li noticed that the little fat girl had an extra layer of fuzzy brown hair on her arms.
The little fat girl is polluted.
Could the source of pollution... be related to the "Candy House"?
"Lili, are we really not going in?" Hei Xiaozi looked eagerly into the cafeteria.
"If you don't come in to eat, the canteen will be closed."
Jiang Li thought for a moment and did not respond.
At this time, there happened to be a childcare worker who hurried over from the rain.
Judging from the body shape of this nursery nurse, she looks like a male.
His whole body was covered very tightly.
Wear a mask, a hat, and gloves.
From top to bottom, only a pair of red bloodshot eyes were exposed.
Judging from the aura around him, he always gives people a sinister feeling.
The fierce childcare worker walked to the door and shook off the rainwater from his body.
When he passed by Jiang Li, he glanced sideways at Jiang Li.
Not sure if it was an illusion, but Jiang Li always felt like he had seen this look somewhere before.
The fierce nursery worker strode into the cafeteria.
Jiang Li followed directly without any hesitation.
Jiang Li was just like a little tail, very close to the somewhat dangerous nursery.
[Sunshine Orphanage-Activity Rules] Article 2:
【You can trust any caregiver in the orphanage. They may not help you, but they certainly won't hurt you. 】
This rule is true.
That's why Jiang Li dared to be so bold and follow the uncle who was not a good person in the cafeteria.
When Jiang Li entered, he extended his hand behind his back and signaled to Black Boy and the others.
She motioned for them to follow her inside.
The rules say:
[When entering the canteen, you must be accompanied by a childcare worker. 】
Only the action of "entering" is emphasized here.
It does not say that a childminder is required to accompany you throughout the process.
Therefore, Jiang Li and the others only need to follow the regulations when entering.
The nursery uncle was walking in front, and he seemed to be aware of it.
But in the end nothing was said.
Instead, he lowered the brim of his hat to cover up the happy smile at the corner of his mouth.
After Jiang Li and the others followed him in, they quickly distanced themselves from him and went to get food themselves.
The three of them finished their meal and sat down.
Coincidentally, the fierce nanny just now found a seat near Jiang Li and the others.
He was sitting at the table next to him.
While eating.
The black boy asked the little shot curiously, "Yangyang, the adoption this afternoon...are you going to fight for it?"
Xiao Zhengtai took two mouthfuls of rice, buried her head and said:
"Of course I want to go, but people may not necessarily like me."
Xiao Zhengtai thought about his cleft lip and palate, and was lost for two seconds.
Then he asked the black boy: "What about you, do you want to go?"
Hearing Xiao Zhengtai's question, the black boy glanced at Jiang Li.
He thought of what Lili had said she wanted to do in the morning.
After hesitating for two seconds, the black boy wondered:
"I'm...not sure. But Lili wants to go. Anyway, if we go together, we can keep Lili company."
The black boy just finished speaking.
There was the sound of a plate being knocked over from the table next to me.
