Chapter 2: Chapter 2 Brothers and Sisters
After leaving the classroom and walking out of the orphanage gate, Chu Mu saw a small figure curled up on the steps, hugging his knees tightly with his hands, as if to resist the cold in this way.
"The ground is so cold, get up quickly." Chu Mu pulled Xiaobu and pulled him up from the ground.
"Brother Mu, you are out!" Xiaobu looked at Chu Mu in surprise, and then looked in the direction of the classroom, "Did Teacher Natasha embarrass you?"
"Of course not, Teacher Natasha is a great and kind person!" Chu Mu exclaimed sincerely.
"But you said it was the big devil before..." Xiaobu blinked.
"Really? Don't talk nonsense." Chu Mu cleverly changed the subject, "Let's not talk about this first, look at what this is?"
Chu Mu took out the bread hidden behind his back.
Unlike the black bread mixed with bran in the lower class, the bread Natasha gave was a very rare white bread!
Even through the oil paper bag, you can smell the sweetness of butter and feel the softness of the bread!
"The teacher gave it to me. I've eaten it, and the rest is for you." Chu Mu swallowed his saliva quietly when he said this.
Of course he had never eaten it, but his sister needed this nutrition more than he did.
Xiao Bu is still young and has a weak stomach. Eating more of this kind of exquisite bread is also better for the body.
As for himself, it's okay to eat something rough.
"Brother Mu, have you really eaten it?" At this time, Xiao Bu's low voice came.
"Of course, the teacher gave me a big piece. I didn't want to leave it for others. After all, your brother is a famous selfish ghost, you know it. But I really can't eat it anymore, there are only so many left." Chu Mu said this and burped.
But Xiaobu still hesitated and didn't take the bread:
"Brother Mu, I can't have it..."
Chu Mu then grabbed her hand and stuffed the bread into her arms:
"You should take it if I tell you to. You are talking like a big shot giving a speech. Do you want to be a great guardian in the future?"
After that, he threatened:
"I will be watching you here today. If you don't finish eating in front of me, you won't have me as your brother in the future."
Sure enough, Xiaobu lost the courage to resist when she heard this.
She was afraid of losing her brother, the best person in this orphanage to her!
"Brother Mu, why are you so good to me?" Xiaobu's voice was a little choked.
"Nonsense, I only have you as my sister? Is there anyone else?"
Chu Mu's words were taken for granted.
This tone made people feel at ease. Chu Mu looked around and made sure that no one was around, so he urged: "Eat quickly, finish here, or else they will come and snatch your food." When Xiao Bu heard this, she couldn't help but think of the past, and her heart ached again. She and Chu Mu came to the orphanage at the same time. At that time, Chu Mu was four years old and she was three years old. The two little babies who spoke in baby voices became brothers and sisters in an unfamiliar environment. In the orphanage, the children with parents in the town outside always liked to come here to play and bully the new and younger ones in the orphanage. At that time, Xiao Bu was thin and weak, and had very rare silver hair, so she was ridiculed as an old woman and was excluded everywhere. Her favorite toys were always snatched away. Sometimes she couldn't even keep the bread in her hand, and she was so hungry that she had no food to eat. After Chu Mu noticed this, he went to fight with those who bullied Xiao Bu. But the age gap was there, how could he win with his physique? There was no cool drama of a brother getting angry and killing millions of people. He was beaten badly again and again.
The opponent even lost interest in bullying Xiaobu, and focused on Chu Mu, coming to his house to beat him up every day.
At that time, Xiaobu cried and begged Chu Mu not to go out, but Chu Mu was unmoved.
Silly boy, if they don't beat me, they will bully you again.
Until one time when the opponent came to his house again, he hid a sharpened pencil in his sleeve and stabbed it into the opponent's thigh fiercely.
The little bully in Rivet Town screamed like a pig being slaughtered.
When blood is seen in a fight, the original limit is lost.
The opponent's group was undoubtedly going to kill him, but Chu Mu was also half crazy. When the pencil broke, he bit it with his teeth. Children's teeth are fragile. He bit his teeth and broke most of them. His mouth was full of blood. I don't know how much of the blood was his own and how much was others'. He looked like a devil!
The group of children were frightened by this desperate effort. Finally, they dispersed and went home crying for their parents.
This incident even alarmed the mayor of Rivet Town. His son was the fat boy who was stabbed by the pencil. He immediately found the director of the orphanage and asked him to expel Chu Mu!
But the old director did not agree to this request. After all, such a young child, without a father or a mother, how could he survive if he left the shelter of the orphanage?
The old director did not agree, but the other party did not give up. Instead, he made a big fuss about it in the lower class.
Everyone knew that there was a bloodthirsty mad dog in the orphanage, who bit everyone he saw, and no one wanted to adopt this child.
In the orphanage, the best time for children to be adopted is within six years old. Older children are difficult to integrate into the new family.
Chu Mu is already six and a half years old this year, which is a bit over the age limit. With his appearance and cleverness, and his healthy limbs and no diseases, he would not have to worry about being adopted.
Although the orphanage will raise him until he grows up, the difficulties faced by children with parents and those without parents are very different when they grow up.
In the lower class area of Beloberg, if you don't have your parents' connections to arrange a job, you can only do the worst-paid job or become a vagrant!
This incident had a huge impact on Chu Mu.
In Xiaobu's heart, this is a hurdle she can't get over. Because of her incompetence, she delayed her brother.
If I could hide it better at that time and didn't tell my brother about those things, my brother would definitely be able to sit next to the big stove in his new family, eat soft and sweet food, and live a happy life.
Xiaobu bit the bread in his hand, tears slid down his cheeks, mixed with the bread, and tasted slightly salty.
The bread is delicious, perhaps the best bread I have ever eaten in my life.
But why is my heart always hurting?
Chu Mu squatted on the side, watching Xiaobu eat the bread bite by bite, and his stomach couldn't help but surge with acid, and he felt uncomfortable like heartburn.
But he didn't ask to taste it after all, even though he got the bread.
After Xiaobu finally finished eating, he stood up as if he had been pardoned, and smiled with relief:
"Not bad, eat more, your complexion is much better. You are just too thin, if you were white and plump, you would have been adopted by someone long ago."
"Xiaobu doesn't want to be adopted, Xiaobu wants to stay in the yard with his brother." Xiaobu looked at Chu Mu, his eyes slightly red, tears rolling in his eyes.
"You, what nonsense are you talking about?" Chu Mu reached out to wipe the tears from Xiaobu's eyes and sighed, "We will grow up eventually. We can't stay in the orphanage forever." Seeing Xiaobu's eyes were a little confused, Chu Mu shook his head and changed the subject: "By the way, I have something to ask of you. I have something to do in the afternoon, so I won't go to class. When the teacher asks, just say you didn't see me and don't know where I am." "Brother Mu, you skipped class to go to the mine again?" "Shh! I asked you to keep it a secret!" "But, the mine is very dangerous..." "No way, there are so many people in the mine, how can it be dangerous." Chu Mu smiled, "Don't think about it, I'm leaving, remember what I told you." "Well, Brother Mu must come back early, Xiaobu will wait for you!" "Don't worry, I will be back before six o'clock!" ...
