Chapter 2385

The little stick kept rolling until a hand with large and slightly rough joints gently stopped it and picked it up from the ground.

Just at the moment when the stick was off the ground, the whole backyard sun farm suddenly quieted down.

In fact, at that moment, little TIA didn't notice that there was a strange figure not far away... No, not just her, but probably none of the children present at this moment.

Then

"Plop."

Little TIA, who was pulled up by her braid, suddenly felt a flower in front of her eyes, and then she sat down on the ground. She saw that the fat Johnny, who had just screwed himself hard and was laughing happily, had lost seven points on his face.

At the next moment, the children, big and small, with different expressions and expressions in front of them, seemed to suddenly remember something. They completely ignored their companions and little TIA, and all at once dispersed and left.

To be honest, this sudden and strange change is not much better than being bullied around - at least little TIA was frightened! The expressions on the faces of the children when they left were different, but they also had very similar numbness, which made little TIA feel numb when she watched this scene happen.

After she fell and sat in place for a while, she recovered a little, so she intuitively turned her head and looked in a direction behind her——

no one! There was no one, only the breeze swept over the sparse and yellow grass tips and shook a few times.

"Call -"

Because no more frightening things happened, little TIA finally settled down a little and turned around again in silence.

But at this time, she supported the ground with her hands that didn't rub the skin. She planned to get up from the ground, but unexpectedly, her palm was suddenly pierced by something hard.

TIA looked down. It was the stick.

"Ah?"

Looking at the stick that appeared in front of her again, little TIA was surprised again. Although she was very hurt by Johnny when the stick fell from her hand just now, she could still hear the sound of the stick falling to the ground. Even if she was not very sure, she remembered that the little stick should have rolled out a distance before.

So, why? Why is it now in front of itself?

Just now, she was frightened by the sudden change of the crowd, and now there was such a sudden doubt, which made little TIA's heart suddenly burst.

"What the hell... What's going on? It's like this today?"

Little TIA, who was particularly flustered, had empty head. Except "weird", perhaps there was no more word to describe it. Little TIA, who was very nervous and confused, didn't even breathe smoothly, as if she was worried that if she inhaled too loudly, she would startle again.

And it is at this time

"Jingle -- jingle -- jingle --"

Suddenly, the hand-operated bell sounded from the front yard. Because it had been used for a long time, the crisp bell seemed a little stuffy. It was familiar to TIA since she was a child.

But this time, the sudden bell startled little TIA again.

Fortunately, it's just a bell after all. Little TIA, who quickly responded, stopped the scream that had burst into her throat, glanced around quickly, and finally ran desperately, even faster than running away at the beginning.

She ignored the inexplicable and strange stick on the ground.

……

In the orphanage under the church, children don't have much free time. In addition to the regular cultural courses, there are church specific morning and evening courses, as well as more religious content and etiquette courses, and even the latter is more strict and valued than the former.

When the bell rings, both bullies and bullies will return to where they should be like others. Because whoever is late will be punished - late is late, and the old sister Taylor with a straight face all day will never listen to any reason.

Little TIA naturally gathered, and the prayer before dinner was something no one could miss, otherwise she would be hungry at night.

But the good thing is that after the thrilling afternoon, there was no accident that day until the end of evening class and went back to the dormitory to turn off the lights and go to bed. The children who bullied themselves and watched them before also looked like nothing had happened. It seemed that everything had returned to normal.

Yes, there are some small things, such as being squeezed deliberately when drawing water, and having her wrist burned a little. TIA has long been used to it. There was no more fear except pain, which was a relatively stable evening for her.

At night, thinking back on the strange scene this afternoon, little TIA, who was very tired mentally and physically, gradually fell asleep wrapped in a damp quilt - the bedding may have been watered by her roommate, or it may be some more excessive liquid. It doesn't matter, because TIA is already very sleepy.

"Kela Lala..."

I don't know how long she slept. When little TIA woke up with this strange sound, she opened her eyes and found that it was completely dark.

Not far away, the curtains were half closed. Tonight may be a cloudy day. There is no star or moon outside the window. It is almost dark.

What's the sound? How... Feel a little familiar?

With the faint light of the street lamp on the distant street, little TIA, who was sleepy and couldn't open her eyes, narrowed her sour eyes and turned her head to look in the direction of the sound.

"Ah."

The frightened voice didn't jump out of her throat. Instead, she took a head and was forcibly cut off by little TIA covering her mouth.

But anyway, little TIA had completely awakened from her half dream. Because she saw that the little stick she picked up and discarded during the day appeared in front of her again.

What's more strange is that the little stick on the bedside table trembled slightly and pointed in a certain direction when no one touched it.

It's the window behind you! The tip of the stick pointed to the window behind him!

After realizing this, little TIA, whose whole body was already a little stiff in the quilt, was stunned. The cool little hands in the quilt were clenched tightly. As soon as she supported her elbows, she suddenly turned over and looked at the window
