……………………

After breakfast, the rest of the children started morning class as usual, while Elena picked up the breakfast to take care of Benitez, who was still in bed.

The orphanage is not large in size, and Benitez's room is only a few minutes away from the restaurant.

Although the houses with wooden and stone structures unique to the UK are sturdy, they are undoubtedly quite bad in terms of moisture and moisture resistance.

As soon as Elena opened the door, she felt the unique moisture in the lakeside house. She frowned. The girl lowered the tray in her hand, walked to the window, and opened the window.

The cool breeze in the morning swept away the humidity in the house, making people feel refreshed.

"Fortunately you are here, otherwise the orphanage will be in a mess now. Thank you so much for your hard work."

A thick middle-aged man's voice came from behind Elena. He turned around and saw Benitez lifting up from the bed and leaning half against the wall. Although his face was still a little pale due to wind and cold and migraine, his spirit was obviously much better than the sluggish situation a few days ago.

"If you secretly go to black boxing to make money next time and I will swear I will never care about you next time."

The silver-haired girl snorted and walked to Benitez's bed with a fierce look. The lake's blue eyes were full of blame.

If there are bad selections of good people, Benitez will definitely be in the top few.

Benitez was born in a poor family, and his parents had no money to send him to school. He used to take drugs and mingled with society. When he asked for help from the priest, he was kicked out of the church. Fortunately, a Spanish brotherhood took him in and gave him education to become a priest.

Thinking of his helpless childhood experience, Benitez simply built an orphanage next to his chapel, relied on government subsidies, social donations, and the income from his own priest to take care of the orphans.

Elena was one of the orphans he picked up from the streets of London at that time. You should know that Elena, who had just traveled through time six years ago, even said that English was inconsistent. If she hadn't been lucky enough to meet Benitez, it might have been difficult to survive.

However, as the children grew up, the funds for the orphanage became increasingly tight.

In order to raise funds, Benitez, who was unwilling to give up the orphans, had to work part-time odd jobs in the adjacent town. A few days ago, he even started secretly going to the city's underground boxing ring to fight black boxing.

If it weren't for the strong migraine attack caused by this cold, Benitez had to choose to confess to Elena for help. Elena might still be kept in the dark and enjoyed a sumptuous three meals a day with peace of mind.

Elena picked up the bowl angrily and handed it to Benitez, asking with complaints while repeatedly beating.

"During the World Cup last year, there should be a lot of money left in betting? Why do we have to go to the black boxing? And we agreed to find a way to find a way to the orphanage's financial resources? Drink the soup first-"

Although she was not a senior fan in her previous life, because of the song "Don "t cry for me argentina", she still vaguely remembers the tragic Argentina led by Maradona in this session, and made nearly 6,000 pounds through those unpopular events.

Even though the orphanage house was renovated and everyone's three-meal treatment was improved, logically speaking, there was no difficulty or embarrassment to the point where Benitez needed to go to the underground boxing ring.

Benitez blew the soup bowl in his hand, took a sip, and replied in a plain tone.

"I'll save the six thousand pounds for you. The renovation of the house and three meals is the savings from the previous orphanage."

"Why?! Who asked you to save it!"

Hearing Benitez's answer, the silver-haired girl waved her arms and stared at the man in front of her with anger and questioned.

If it weren't for the fact that his body had just recovered, Elena would even have the urge to pounce on her and hit someone.

Benitez shrugged and swallowed the fried egg slowly. Looking at Elena with her teeth and claws, she pointed to the hollow bowl with curiousness and asked.

"Then tell me honestly, what is this? You must know that the Wildlife Conservation Association came to the door because you fry fish in the lake. Besides, I don't know when a variety of Scottish round-faced fat chicken suddenly appeared nearby."

Every time I asked this question before, Elena found a reason to fool me, so Benitez has always been curious about the source of this free chicken soup these days.

Elena spread her hands, so she admitted openly, "Okay, this is actually stewed owl soup."

"O...OWL (Owl)?! Are you a devil?!"

Benitez's throat made a strange purr, his mouth was so wide that it could be stuffed into an egg, and he looked at Elena in shock.

——He originally thought it would be some other wild bird, after all, there are various birds living in and around Lake Lomond.

"In other words, these days have been...oh, my Jesus! You are the devil!"

Benitez, who had already recovered almost, suddenly felt a headache again and raised his left hand to rub his eyebrows. "Fortunately it's not the Middle Ages now, otherwise you would definitely be sentenced to be regarded as a witch. Only the wizard in the legendary story will eat owls."

"No, as far as I know, Chinese people used to eat it, but now they are protected animals. Not to mention these, the taste is really good, and I promise these are not wild animals located in the lakeside reserve."

Elena blinked and smiled flatteringly, swearing with her right hand, and then continued to explain with a serious look on her face.

"Owls have good medicinal value, nourishing yin and replenishing deficiency, and the meat is more tender and smoother than ordinary chicken. After removing internal organs, the whole body can be used as medicine. The most important thing is that owl meat contains some medicinal ingredients that can relieve pain.

Isn’t this a headache you have recently? I thought about using owls to stew soup to help nourish your body. However, it’s a pity that Gastrodia elata is only available in Asia. Otherwise, if you can stew a pot of Gastrodia elata owl soup, it tastes simply, tsk tsk tsk tsk…”

Clang.

At this moment, a strange sound came from the windowsill, sounding like someone accidentally bumped into the half-open window.

Elena stopped talking alertly, turned her head and looked out the window, only to see a brown and black tabby cat falling from the eaves and falling on the open windowsill.

I didn’t expect that there was such a clumsy wild cat that would trip over when walking. Life must be very difficult, right?

Elena blinked, snatched a piece of meat from Benitez's bowl, squatted down, gently placed it in front of the wild cat on the windowsill, and said with a smile.

"Kitten, eat it, eat it."

To her surprise, the next moment when she saw the meat, the tabby cat seemed to be seriously offended. The whole cat suddenly exploded and made a low purr, obviously extremely angry.

Looking closely, there was a strange square pattern around the eye sockets of the tabby cat. When you looked at it, it looked like a pair of glasses.

Elena frowned and looked at the cat squatting on the windowsill. I wonder if it was an illusion, but she seemed to see an angry and condemnation look like a human in the eyes of the shining cat.

A vague thought flashed through the silver-haired little luoli's mind, and she always felt as if she had forgotten something.

Forget it, it doesn’t seem to be very important. Since you don’t accept eating, you dare to lose your temper. Such a kitten is not cute at all.

Shaking his head helplessly, Elena's eyes changed, and she suddenly stretched out her hand like lightning, accurately pinched the soft skin on the back of the black cat's neck and lifted it up, and threw it out of the window without mercy.

"Meow? Meow!"

You should know that rabies vaccines are very troublesome in this era, so it is better to try not to be scratched by wild cats.

After a brief episode, Elena clapped her palms, looked at Benitez again, and said unhappily.

"Anyway, I've confessed. Now it's your turn, why do you have to work so hard, even relying on black punches to earn rewards."

Benitez sat up straight, looked at the girl he brought back from the streets of London six years ago, and said in silence for a while.

"You wanted to leave here very early and go to study in the United States, right?"

"Why?!"

"You... I was particularly worried when I was a child. Every night I was shocked and talked in my sleep."

Beniste said softly, "Although you can't understand most of the words you say, you can still recognize some of the frequently repeated words."

Sleeping in a dream?! Fortunately, I usually speak Chinese when I speak in a sleep. Elena was scared and then looked at Benitez in confusion and asked, "Word?"

"Well, like Harvard University, Silicon Valley, Microsoft, Wall Street..." Benitez frowned and tried hard to recall, "Most of the remaining are some weird words, such as Apple, Blizzard, Amazon, Facebook, Tencent, Alibaba..."

That was not a strange word, Elena's eyes flashed.

In another ten years, they are almost the entire Internet world. As a rebirth, she kept thinking about how to board this train to the top of the great era almost every day.

After pausing for a while, Benitez reached out and rubbed the silver hair on Elena's head, "Going abroad to study is a considerable expense. You should not be limited to the Scottish Highlands by me and the orphanage. If you don't mind, I can find a way to apply for adoption."

"Father Dad..."

The silver-haired little luoli was mixed with emotion for a moment, grabbed the big hand above her head, and looked complicated and was about to say something.

Twist twist.

At this moment, a knock on the door suddenly came from outside the door, and Bran's timid voice then rang out.

"Father Benitez, although I have repeated many times that you are inconvenient, this lady who calls herself Minerva McGonagh still insists on visiting you in person, saying that she is talking about the admission of Sister Elena."

⊙?⊙! Wait...Who is here?!

Elena's eyes suddenly became wide open.

Regarding Elena's admission question? Before Elena could object, Benitez answered loudly without hesitation.

"It's okay, my health has almost recovered. Elena is here too. Ms. McGonagall please come in."

Benitez didn't notice that at this moment, Elena, who was originally confident and prepared to talk about her life plan, suddenly shook and almost subconsciously wanted to jump out of the window and escape.

McGmineva?!

That cold-faced Professor McGonagall from Hogwarts?!

Elena suddenly realized what was the fleeting vague thought before.

——Professor McGonagall is an Animagus who can turn into a cat.

So, the tabby cat who just heard the "Scottish Round Fat Chicken" cuisine collection was thrown out of the windowsill by her...

It's over, it's cold!

She didn't want to experience the feeling of being turned into a small animal because of violating school rules. It's hard to say that other people are. As a woman, Elena wouldn't believe that Professor McGonagall would pretend that he had never happened before.

Now, even if the knife was placed on her neck, starved to death on the street, and was hit by a car, Elena would never step into Hogwarts.
