“Hi sis.”
A few of the kids were unsuspecting when they saw her friendly smile and greeted her happily.
“No, no, no, no sister.” The Davis family boy, who was in the lead, seriously broke his fingers, and after counting, said, “We’ll call her Auntie, or Auntie is fine.”
“Whatever.” Paige smiled.
“Auntie.” The little boy bowed his head politely to her, then looked behind her to Enrico and bowed his head again, “Hi Grandpa.”
“…”
Enrico rolled up his sleeve and tried to punch the kid.
Paige hurriedly put her hands on the little boy’s shoulders and pushed him forward, asking, “What are you guys doing here with me?”
“Auntie, you’re from outside, what’s it like outside?” A little girl asked curiously as she walked alongside.
“Yeah, yeah, yeah, I overheard the adults say that there are cartoons out there that kids specialize in watching, what is that, is it the same as the shadow puppet show my grandma made?” Another child followed and asked.
Faced with a pair of inquisitive eyes, Paige finally realized the purpose of their visit, “Are you guys eager to go out and see it?”
“Yes!” The children responded in unison, then one by one, they dropped their heads again, a little sad.
The little boy from THE Davis Family who was being held on Paige’s shoulder sighed with a look of sophistication, “It won’t work, Auntie said that we THE Davis Family people have to stay here for the rest of our lives.”
“Why don’t you guys take me to Annie’s room and I’ll tell you about the outside world?” Paige offered a deal.
A group of curious children readily agreed, and the little boy put his hand out, “I know where Auntie and Grandma’s room is, come on, follow me!”
Paige laughed softly.
“…”
Enrico followed not far away, a pair of eyes staring straight at Paige in front, seeing her smile naturally, her mood should be okay.
Along the way, Paige told them about all kinds of scenes outside, about children have a lot of toys to play with, playgrounds, but also about children want to be good to learn a lot of knowledge, practice a lot of skills …
The more the children listened, the more they became engaged, and they all stared at her with such fascination that their little feet couldn’t move forward.
“Is it that good out there?”
The little boy turned his head, his big eyes filled with yearning, “But every time I pick up a book, the elders at home say that I don’t need to recognize so many words, and I can’t even ask anyone.”
Many children outside frown when they hear about reading, but the children here are happy when they hear about reading.
Paige had mixed feelings in her heart, and could only look down at them, “Does your family not let you read?”
“Only a little.”
The little boy compared his little tail finger a little bit.
Not allowed to study, no electricity, isolated from the world, raising some small animals, planting some farmland, living the purest life.
“The ignorant have no desires, the mediocre have no worries.” Paige pauses.
This is about the reason why the Davis family chooses to avoid the world, the intelligence in the Davis family’s genes brings them troubles, the more they know, the thicker the knowledge base, the more troubles they have, and the AS schizophrenia gene is the most unsettling of all, it is always ready to give a fatal blow to a the Davis family person when he or she is anxious or in pain or distress. the time to give a fatal blow.
“Since you understand this, you shouldn’t have lectured them so much.” Came an aged, icy voice.
Paige turned around to see a rich old woman, helped in by Armen, staring at her with pale eyes full of disapproval, “Is it any wonder that you came here this time to create a few more Annie’s for me THE Davis family?”
Making these kids yearn for the outside, making them want to get out and then not getting a good end.
Paige bowed her head toward her and said faintly, “Old lady, the truth is that what THE Davis FAMILY is trying to do shouldn’t be to run away, but to be as active as their mother in finding a cure.”
“Heh.” The white-haired old lady sneered, “There’s more than one person who went out, which one came back alive.”
It wasn’t like the Davis family hadn’t looked for it, did it work?
“…”
Seeing that the two have a tendency to dislike each other, Armen aside busily changed the topic, “Ms. Paige, what are you doing here?”
“I wanted to come and see my mother’s room.” Paige said.
“It’s right here, come with me.”
Armen helped the old white haired woman forward and glanced at Enrico, “Uncle Alonso is here too.”
The old woman’s cross-eyed glance was full of dissatisfaction, “What’s the matter with the no-good thing that couldn’t keep anyone back then, and now she’s clinging to her daughter-in-law’s heels, huh?”
“…”
Enrico stood quite a distance away, listening to the sound, his face darkening completely under the brim of his hat.
When it was done, he was going to blow up THE Davis family.
Even the shrine!
Paige didn’t even dare to look at his face, and silently led a group of children behind Armen and the old lady.
Armen pushes open a small door, and as soon as he enters, the scent of flowers hits his face.
Paige was a little stunned to look over, this is a small courtyard, full of walls of rose vines dancing with the wind, set off a burst of green waves.
It was a good time of the year, the rosebuds were in full bloom, the petals were delicate and the colors were white and pink, and butterflies danced among them.
The whole small courtyard seemed to be painted in pink, so beautiful that people could not take their eyes off it.
“Wow! So Auntie’s little courtyard is so beautiful.”
A group of children, who also didn’t seem to have been here before, rushed inside in excitement at the sight.
Paige turned her head to look at Enrico, who had stopped several paces away.
He stood there, head up, one eye looking straight in, his gaze stoic and seemingly surprised.
Annie left the Davis family for too many too many years, but this small courtyard is kept as clean as the outside, more than that, even the roses are guarded so well, it can be seen that the elders of the Davis family have always thought of her in their hearts.
“Don’t think about it so much, when I die, not many of the juniors of this the Davis family will remember Annie, and someone else will have to live here.”
The old lady suddenly looked back at Paige, reading her thoughts with a glance.
Paige looked over, “I heard Francine say that mother studied with a few of the older members of the family.”
“It’s gone, first madness, then death, it’s all gone.” The old woman grimaced coldly.
Armen stood aside and bowed his head gloomily, “Now the oldest ancestor of THE Davis family is Auntie.”
“I’m cold blooded, I can’t set off any touch of whoever is crazy or dead.”
The old woman said walking straight inside.
Armen stood aside and smiled apologetically at Paige, “Don’t mind if you do, the old lady is just like that in nature, she’s very nice and strong, so many of the elders of THE Davis family have gone, she’s the only one who still guards us.”
“Hmm.”
Paige listened, smiling and nodding to him.
“Ms. Paige, go inside.” Armen moved closer to her.
A fishy odor leapt over.
Enrico pressed the brim of his hat and squeezed hard between the two men, and Armen was squeezed so hard that his back hit the side of the door, his back was fine, but his chest hurt like hell.
Did he just … get elbowed?
He looked over and saw that the soft and weak Paige was standing still, nothing at all, and Enrico was walking forward without looking back, as if he was just borrowing a path to pass by.
Could it be his illusion?
But the ribs in his chest really hurt.
