Chapter 152: Reasonable and Abnormal: Sansongta’s “Normal”…
Fei Yi's eyes suddenly sparkled with strong interest, and she was eager to pull Weifeiya over to talk.
"Eddie." On the other side, Nerys' voice was a little cold.
Eddie, who was originally lying on the wooden table, planning to take a nap before Madam Maggie came to teach, sat up straight in an instant.
He glanced curiously at Nerys, who had warned him, and his eyes circled between the three girls. He pulled Fei Yi over and said, "Mrs. Maggie is coming soon."
Upon hearing this, Fei Yi drooped down.
Vifiya's eyes flickered, and she asked Nerys curiously, "Why can't I tell you?"
Nerys clutched the notebook, her eyes filled with resignation. "Sansonta cannot broach this subject. Madam Maggie has expressly forbidden it."
Fei Yi was the one who was least afraid of punishment and had a persistent interest in the devil.
After she said that, Vifia stopped asking questions. After all, Madam Maggie would be here soon, and she didn't want to be punished on the first day.
"I don't want to study! I don't want to!" A sharp voice came from outside the door, even a little hoarse. "Who wants to study? I don't want to study!"
Vifiya looked up and saw Chris dragging a freckled boy in with him, looking hopeless. The boy clung to the door frame and yelled, "I don't want it! I don't want it! You're forcing me! Forcing me!"
"I want to grill fish with Big Beard. I want grill fish." A tired little fat man hunched over as he passed them, mumbling, "I want grill fish. I want grill fish."
Vifia looked at the scene in confusion. Nerys explained, "The one who doesn't like studying is Freckles, and the one who wants grilled fish is Fatty. He often tries to sneak out of the tower, but Madam Maggie always finds him."
But he mentioned a big beard, and Vifiya remembered that she had seen a big beard before she came to Samson Tower.
Did he ever succeed in leaving the tower secretly?
Nairis opened the notebook as usual and winked at her: "You'll get used to it in the future."
Suddenly something flew over Vifiya's head, and she subconsciously turned back in the direction.
"Bang!" An unknown notebook hit Cao Mulu's head accurately in the corner. The man just tilted his head slightly and adjusted back to his original posture as if he didn't feel any pain.
There was still no one around him.
"Well..." Nerys followed her gaze and was puzzled for a moment. She thought for a moment, "He doesn't have a name."
She lowered her head and leaned closer to Vifiya, admonishing her, "Don't get too close to him."
Before Vifiya could ask her why, she continued, "He has bad luck, very bad luck."
She raised her chin and said, "Just like this, he has accidents every day, and..."
There was confusion in her eyes: "He is very strange."
Vifiya asked thoughtfully, "How can a person not have a name?"
"Because he didn't answer Maggie's question." It was Eddie who answered her.
"I suspect he is a person cursed by the devil." Fei Yi said immediately, her eyes lit up again.
As soon as Eddie heard her voice, he knew what she was thinking. He said dissatisfiedly, "The last time you got close to him, you accidentally fell, and he didn't help you."
Fei Yi obviously still didn't want to give up: "I'll just be more careful next time."
The two of them started arguing with each other.
Vifiya glanced around as if nothing had happened. Maggie's question reminded her that when she came to Sansongta, Maggie only asked her name and age.
"If you don't have a name, what should I call you?" She tilted her head.
Nerys placed her hand on the edge of the table between them and leaned down, as if she was about to whisper something.
Vifiya lowered her head.
Nerys whispered, "You just arrived, so you might not know this. Maggie has to give everyone their own name when registering their names. For example, Freckles and Fatty said their own names, and they can't change them later. Don't worry about the problem you mentioned. At least we haven't heard him say it."
She thought about it and rolled her eyes. "Anyway, it's normal not only in our Sansongta, but also in the entire Saint Fagus Island. You'll just get used to it later."
After she finished speaking, she stared at Vifiya thoughtfully. She was so confused that she blurted out the question, "Why are you here?"
Feeling her words were rude, she sat up straight and waved her hand, "Sorry, I didn't mean to ask. No need to answer me."
Here, it doesn't matter where you come from.
Vifiya sat down again and opened her mouth, but out of the corner of her eye she saw Madam Maggie coming in, so she had to take back what she wanted to say.
Mrs. Maggie ignored the inattention and small movements of some children in the classroom. She had only one request to the children: don't disturb her teaching.
There was a faint sound of seagulls outside, and the sound came through the small window of the classroom through the sunlight.
The little fat boy put his head on the wooden table, his eyes dull as he absorbed the warmth of the light on his face.
Vifiya seemed to be listening attentively, but most of her attention was actually elsewhere. In addition, she had enough rest at noon, so she felt pretty good about herself.
There are many things in Nerys's words that are worth pondering. She has always emphasized that you just need to get used to it. In other words, the unusual things she sees here may be normal in themselves.
There may be many similar "normal" places on the entire St. Fagus Island, and Sansong Tower is just a microcosm of them.
She observed the others calmly.
Nerys was listening attentively and taking notes. Vifia hadn't noticed anything different about her yet. She seemed like an ordinary, enthusiastic girl who followed the rules.
Fei Yi is extremely interested in things that Madam Maggie forbids from discussing. Perhaps, this is what makes her different?
Eddie...
Vifiya hesitated for a moment. She had been in Sansongta for less than a day and had not met many people. He was the person she thought was the most contradictory so far.
Compared with Fei Yi, he is much more reasonable, but sometimes, he is unreasonable.
Vifia felt an inexplicable sense of vigilance in her heart. She couldn't tell why. Could it be that she believed from the bottom of her heart that Eddie would be more dangerous?
She pushed down the emotions that were disturbing her for the moment and continued to think about the other people she came into contact with.
Clover, Samsonta's maid...
Vifiya carefully recalled her every move, every expression, every action, and it seemed that she was just an ordinary maid.
After all, the young and kind maid seemed to be more popular with the children in the tower than the serious Madam Maggie.
But for some reason, there was always a voice in her heart that she couldn't ignore, especially Clover's reaction when she asked him the last question in front of the door of the sixth dormitory.
Why can't I ask Maggie for help? What if I encounter a problem that even she can't solve?
Maid, although she is called a maid, she gives her the feeling of... more like... half a manager?
Vifiya was still unsure about the conclusion she had reached.
She shifted slightly, as if to find a more comfortable sitting position, her eyes focused intently as she moved along with Madam Maggie's explanation.
She hid her scrutiny in her black pupils.
Madam Maggie, the manager of Sansong Tower, is the one who sets the rules in the tower, based on what Vifia has heard and seen so far.
Rules, make...
Vifiya believes that there is a reason behind every rule.
She could understand that they were not allowed to leave the tower at night. It was indeed not safe for them to go out at night at their age.
It seems reasonable that they cannot leave the tower without her consent, but in fact they have to stay in the tower most of the time. Can this be understood as a kind of imprisonment? Or is there something outside the tower that makes Maggie make such rules?
However, Rodo and Maggie define St. Fagus Island as their hometown.
What is certain is that she is definitely not a native of the island.
home……
Vifiya clenched her hand around the quill.
Strangely, she lowered her eyes, as if taking notes, and took the opportunity to blink her sore eyes.
Why does my chest suddenly feel so tight?
She took a deep breath and silently adjusted her confused thoughts.
Is “hometown” dangerous?
"Especially at night." What happens on the island at night is worth Maggie and the maid to emphasize at all times.
She was certainly grateful to have Maggie standing before her in the dining hall at noon.
Thinking of this, Vifiya suddenly blinked in confusion. Why did she thank Maggie and guess about her at the same time? She seemed a little hypocritical.
She lowered her head, confused for a moment, and a little uncertain.
However, a voice in her heart told her that she should not make a hasty definition without much contact or observation.
So, she decided to observe for a while longer.
There may be more than just these many children in the classroom in Sangsongtari. How many people are there like Dai'er in their dormitory, or is Dai'er the only exception?
If she asked Nerys, how much would Nerys tell her?
If her previous speculation is correct, then what about her?
If different, what about her? How is she different?
All the problems come back to me, and it is still a mystery.
"That's all for today's lecture." Maggie's voice showed no sign of fatigue as she closed the book. "From now on, until the bell for evening prayers rings, go to the library next door and read."
Vifia looked up and saw that Madam Maggie had already strode to the next room.
"We're going there too." Nerys put down her quill, stretched, and reminded.
"Okay." Vifiya responded.
Except for a small number of children who dawdled, most of the children moved very quickly.
By the time Vifiya and the others had packed up their things, there weren't many people left in the room.
She followed Nerys, feeling a little tired because she had been thinking about other things the whole class.
A tantalizing color appeared in the corner of her eye. Vifiya turned her head slightly. It was the nameless person.
Now that she was close, she could only feel an inexplicable sense of silence lingering around the boy.
Thinking of Nerys's words, she turned back and looked at her roommate without paying any attention. The girl was concentrating on walking forward and didn't notice her.
Vifiya had no intention of leaving. She felt sleepy for no reason. Could it be that she had thought too much in the afternoon?
What kind of books would be in the library? She thought about reading more books, maybe she would find something.
Vifia walked as usual, but for some reason her hair suddenly stood on end. Before she could react, her hand had already reached out quickly to the side and pulled the boy on her right.
The green of the grass and trees stopped in front of her eyes, and her soft black hair brushed against the boy's cheek and intertwined briefly because she looked over instinctively.
"Bang!" A stone as big as a head fell to the ground and broke into pieces.
The noise was quite loud and scared everyone else present.
Nerys' eyes widened as she took in the boy in front of Vifiya and her hands grasping his arms.
She was startled, took a few steps forward, pulled her hand away, and quickly took her away from the boy. Her face was full of tension, and she looked her up and down: "Are you okay?"
