That night, Lily tried to invite Liu Shiqin to have dinner with everyone at the orphanage, but was rejected because she was not feeling well. She only asked Lily for some compressed biscuits and water.
After closing the door, Lily couldn't help but sigh. She had known that she had proposed to eat something with Shiqin in her room, so that she would have a chance to talk to Shiqin for a while.
"Don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry." Lily reminded herself in a low voice.
Although the longer John's disappearance lasts, the more likely it is that John's team will completely lose the chance of rescue.
But this matter is between Lily and the St. Lance Orphanage, not Liu Shiqin's. For Liu Shiqin, everyone in the orphanage is a stranger, and she cannot force them to do anything.
And Lily now understands that the reason why Liu Shiqin was willing to share so much information with her in the morning was to repay the orphanage for its help.
If you want to get more information, either become her friend, or use anything in exchange.
After thinking about this, Lily did not stop in front of Liu Shiqin's room, but went straight down to the public area on the third floor to look for Aiden.
Aiden is the most familiar with the "garbage" dump underground. Lily wants to try to use some things with Liu Shiqin in exchange for useful information. After all, in the era of information explosion decades ago, important information gaps have disappeared. It goes without saying, not to mention that the world has become so weird and incomprehensible now.
As long as Liu Shiqin is willing to reveal more, it will be of immeasurable help to everyone in the orphanage.
But Lily couldn't find Aiden, but sister Natasha grabbed the two corners of the skirt.
Lily adjusted her mood, squatted down and asked the two sisters with a smile:
"Natasha Natasha, good evening, how can I help you?"
Neither Natasha nor Natasha spoke. They just pulled each other's hand. Natasha took out an envelope from her cake skirt with her other free hand and handed it to Lily. Tasha spoke at the right time:
"The black-haired sister gave this to us in the afternoon. Let us give it to you, Sister Lily, after dinner."
"A letter from Miss Liu Shiqin?" Lily was a little surprised. She reached out to take the envelope and felt it. There might only be one or two pages in it.
Miss Shiqin, what does this mean? Why did you write to me specifically? You have already told me face to face this morning to express your gratitude. There is no need to write another thank you letter... Is this Xia Xia? What is the custom of the country?
Lily was full of questions, but she still thanked Natasha and Natasha seriously before taking the letter and walking to the gym area in the public area on the third floor, where the children were relatively least and quietest.
The seal of the envelope was not sealed, but was simply folded in half. Lily easily pulled out the letter inside. Sure enough, it was two pieces of letter paper, neatly folded.
Taking a slow breath, Lily unfolded the paper and started reading.
Good evening,
Miss Lily.
I'm sorry to say goodbye to you in this way.
Lily's eyelids jumped as soon as she saw this, and she wanted to rush to Liu Shiqin's room on the fourth floor to confirm, but in the end she endured it and decided to read the letter before talking.
I'm sorry to say goodbye to you in this way.
The reason why I don't have the ability to describe my 'guest' to you in detail is because I decided to try to 'visit' my original destination tonight. Regardless of success or failure, I don't think you will be able to find me in the guest room. . "
The ability of 'guests', in Western terms, can be understood as teleportation. As far as I know, at least one 'guest' will appear in all orphanages wrapped in mist tornadoes in the Xia Kingdom, so when I I was so surprised to learn that there were no 'guests' at St. Lance Orphanage.
I'm also surprised that your orphanage has zero understanding of 'Route'.
The only explanation I can think of is that the government of the British Empire deliberately concealed this from you. I have borrowed your "Two Points and Four Mists" with the two little girls, and I have read them in Xia Kingdom. The version has many specious parts.
I believe you have realized the fact that the world is no longer the same as before, and we, the 'chosen children', will be the first to glimpse the real corner of the world.
On the second piece of paper, I gave a brief explanation of some of the abilities and external manifestations corresponding to the 'roads' I mentioned during the day. I hope it can help you at St. Lance Orphanage.
Nice to meet you, Miss Lily. Your Chinese is really good, which surprises me.
Liu Shiqin
Lily did not rush to read the second piece of letter paper, but took the letter to Liu Shiqin's room on the fourth floor, raised her hand and knocked on the door.
No one answered.
Lily smiled bitterly, turned the handle, and pushed open the door.
Sure enough, Liu Shiqin was no longer in the room. The bedding on the bed was neatly folded, like a piece of tofu. The pillows were quietly placed on top of the piece of "tofu". The window in the room was open and the curtains were open. Swaying gently with the night breeze.
The moonlight shines through the mist like a thick but translucent gauze and spreads on the only table in the room. Half of the tabletop is shimmering and half is completely hidden in darkness.
Lily was just about to leave when she suddenly noticed something flashing across the table. After hesitating for two seconds, she went forward to check and found that it was actually a small and exquisite wooden stick with a big head and a tail. But it was shaped like a round cone, the head of the stick was carved into a beautiful shape like a cloud, and the body of the stick showed the unique undulations and deformations of wood.
Reaching out to pick up the small wooden stick, Lily suddenly felt that it had some weight, which made Lily almost think that she had mistaken the material of this thing.
She didn't know what it was, but she thought the stick was really pretty and she liked it very much.
"Could this be what Miss Shiqin left for me?" Lily thought silently.
After all, the only person who would be the first to come to her room could be herself, whom Miss Shiqin asked the Nata sisters to deliver the letter to.
After two seconds of silence, Lily looked up at the dim moonlight outside the window and murmured softly:
"Thank you for your gift, Miss Shiqin, I like it very much."
Looking at the tofu-like quilt again, Lily exited the room and closed the door again.
She was going back to her room to read the second letter. Maybe she could figure out which of her 'paths' she was going to take. However, she remembered Shiqin's demeanor and expression when she told her about these 'paths' in the morning. Lily felt that there were more than just a few "roads" in the wording. When Shiqin listed them for her, it was more like giving Lily examples.
