The sun in New York in July. Amidst the crowd, a skinny young man quietly stared at this familiar and strange city.
“It's been fifteen years. I finally came back. How are my seven sisters?” The young man muttered.
His name is John, an orphan, He grew up in a welfare home and has seven sisters who have no blood relatives.
They treat her as their family, their favorite game in their childhood is playing house with John, and they promise to marry her when they grow up.
At that time, John was five years old, He said in a childish voice that we were not yet three or four years old, so we had to keep our word.
So his sister made a little promise with him and decided to never eat their words.
In this way, John looks forward to growing up every day until a great fire completely burns his life.
His sister could have escaped the fire, but when they found out she was trapped inside back to find him.
In the end they were all surrounded by a sea of fire, they immediately turned John scared and cried, But even in this condition, his elder sister still hugged him and comforted him fearing the Fire to burn.
The eight children leaned against each other and immediately fainted from the smoke.
When John opened his eyes again, the sea of fire was still there, The only difference was the existence of an old witch standing before him.
The old witch was just standing on the flames, with her clothes still intact.
The old witch said, "I can heal your sister, but you must regard me as your teacher"
"MY!"
This sentence was like a life-saving straw, and John agreed without hesitation.
At that moment, he did not realize that his life would change completely.
After leaving the welfare home, the old witch took John to a witch school, then taught him medical skills, martial arts, and magic, and even let him learn nameless skills.
He has lived there for ten years.
When John was fifteen, he thought he could finally return to New York, but the old witch instead sent him to the border battlefield.
Then he stayed there for another five years.
In the past five years, he had fought together with other soldiers, and an organization called 'Oracle'
rise up.
Thirty-six Oracle soldiers were all as powerful as gods, they kept the peace of the US, and no one in the world dared to offend them.
And their master, the Horizon King, had secretly returned to the place where he was in his childhood-New York.
Remembering the past, it was like a dream.
But John knows it's true.
If that hadn't happened to him, John would never have believed what he'd been through all this time. Everyone would think he was crazy if he told them his story ..
John stands in front of the Sunshine Welfare Center.
The building still exists.
However, John's feelings were mixed at the time.
The fires of fifteen years ago attracted a lot of attention. People across the country are actively contributing and rebuilding
welfare home.
The old brick house was now a small high-rise building, and the facilities were much better than before, but eventually, it was no longer a place John was familiar with.
However, when John saw the innocent smile of the children, the strangeness in his heart disappeared in an instant.
He seemed to see himself and his sister when they were children.
Apparently nothing has changed. The welfare home was still a beautiful place he remembered.
John finds a welfare home employee and explains the purpose of his visit.
Immediately, a woman with presbyopic glasses came up to John and looked at him confusedly.
“I'm director of Sunshine Welfare Center. Who are you looking for?"
"Are you the director of the welfare home?"
John's stunned.
In his memory, the director's last name should have been Wodehouse, and he was a kind-hearted parent, obviously not that
the woman in front of him.
The old woman nodded and said, “I have been a director here for over ten years. Aren't you looking for me?"
"Oh so. He's been retired a long time!”
Hearing that John was here for the old director, the woman dispelled the suspicion in her heart and treated him more kindly than ever.
But John frowned.
Mr Wodehouse retired?
According to what this woman had said, Mr. Wodehouse seemed to have resigned from the position of director
more than ten years ago.
Is it because of the fire?
"Do you have Mr.'s address. A wodehouse?" John asked in a hurry.
"Yes yes. Waita minute. I'll write down the address for you.”
The woman turned and entered the room. Soon he took out a note with an address and handed it to John.
"Thank you!"
With the address the woman gave him, John came to a one-story house.
A gray-haired hunchbacked old man was cleaning the courtyard in front of the house. John recognized him at first sight, he was Mr. Wodehouse.
They haven't seen each other for fifteen years, and Mr. The house is very old.
Seeing this, John felt a strange sadness and quickened his pace, but what happened next immediately turned his grief into anger.
When Mr. Wodehouse was cleaning, a flower-shaped young man suddenly pushed him hard, then cursing at him violently.
“Old Sister, I know those women will send you money every month. Where's money?"
How dare he rob an old man in broad daylight? With mounting anger, John rushed over, grabbed the young man's collar in a flowery shirt, and shouted,
“How dare you rob the old man's money? You poor bastard!”
“Ehem..”.
The young man did not expect that someone would suddenly rush over. A trace of panic flashed across his face, but he quickly pretended to be calm.
“You... Let go of me. How dare you do this to me? Grandpa, help me!”
"What's? Grandpa!"
John narrowed his eyes and turned to look at Mr. Wodehouse looking sad and sighed, “Son, he is indeed not a robber. His name is Gary, and he's my adopted son.”
gary's?
gary!
John stared at the young man in a flowery shirt for a while and finally realized who he was.
No wonder John felt a little familiar with it. It turns out that he was Gary who bullied John a lot and was punished by his younger siblings when he was a kid.
Why was he adopted by Mr. Wodehouse?John was deep in thought. Gary took advantage of the opportunity to escape from his hands. He coughed violently and it took him a long time to recover from the panic.
"Fuck, take care of your own business and get out of here!"
Gary stared intently at John, then shouted at Mr. Wodehouses
“Old people, since you adopted me, it is your duty to offer me good food, and good clothes, and make me happy. If you can't meet my needs, why did you adopt me?
“Where is the money that those women gave you? Take him out! Why are you hiding it from me? Do you want to spend it in a coffin, right?" resumes again
"Old man, I don't think you can live that long. After all, you must rely on me to live in the future. Who else can you leave your money for? You brainless old man!”
Gary went too far with his words.
Mr. Wodehouse trembled violently, but he simply lowered his head in silence and endured Gary's abuse.
Watching this scene, John could not stand it anymore and slapped it.
The slap!
"It's for you that doesn't show respect to your parents!"
The slap!
"This is for you to rob your grandfather instead of taking care of him!"
The slap!
"This is for you who don't know who I am!"
