"During the Chinese New Year, it should be the most harmonious and stable time for the orphanage, but everything is just a superficial phenomenon......" Ling Xingmo said as he looked at the sky that had already darkened.

It's like, behind all the calm, there are bigger waves......

In the eyes of the dean, after the Chinese New Year, the children in the orphanage will be one year older.

Especially...... Girls.

And after Xiaolan's New Year, she can be counted as 16 years old, which is indeed not small.

Although Xiaolan looks mediocre, she is very kind and hardworking, and she is a very good girl, but unfortunately one foot is a little lame.

But in the orphanage, it is still very popular with other children.

When Ling Xingmo first saw her, even if there was nothing to be happy about every day, she was always smiling.

But after the Chinese New Year, Ling Xingmo could often see her sitting in the courtyard of the orphanage in a daze and looking at the scenery outside......

After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the year is basically over.

After the New Year, the children in the orphanage also went from joy and anticipation to silence and calm again.

But the director of the orphanage has always been in a good mood, and even getting better......

Lin Xinmo noticed that Ling Xingmo's brows were getting tighter and tighter, but he still seemed to speak in a flat tone-

"I remember that one day before the end of the first lunar month, a man who looked very tall came to the orphanage, and he seemed to know the director very well, and the director was always smiling when he saw him......"

The two of them had been in the dean's room for a long time since they met.

At first, Ling Xingmo didn't know what they were doing, he only overheard the sound of humming and chirping, and about an hour later, he heard them start chatting.

Ling Xingmo also broke out in a cold sweat and left before they were about to end their chat.

It was a moment before they came out of the house smiling.

After that, they left the orphanage, and at the same time, they also took Xiaolan with them.

Since then, Ling Xingmo has never seen Xiaolan again......

Actually, when the man first arrived at the orphanage—

Ling Xingmo saw the seemingly unusual intimacy between the man and the dean, and felt that there was something between them.

So, he went to ...... Eavesdrop on them.

For the first hour, he barely heard anything useful, but just when he wanted to give up, he heard a big secret-

All the girls in the orphanage who are almost 15 or 16 years old will be ...... They sell!

As for where and to whom, it is unknown.

But it is not without rules, the law is that their futures are determined by their looks, talents, performance in the orphanage, and the mood of the director.

Xiaolan's fate, compared with many people before, is already good.

But it's just a little better—

She was going to be sold to a man in his 30s, who was disabled, who had not yet married a wife, and who had little ability to do so, more than 100 kilometers away from the local area.

And this is because she usually behaves better in the orphanage, so the director is kind to her......

Ling Xingmo stumbled away after knowing this, he ...... went to find Xiaolan and let her escape.

But after Xiaolan learned about this, she was not so surprised and panicked, but said, "I can't run away." ”

"You can't run away, you can run anywhere. Ling Xingmo said in a rare hurry.

"I grew up in an orphanage, so I didn't know anywhere else, so I didn't know where I could run, and I didn't know what would happen if I ran away. Xiaolan just said very blandly.

"That's better than staying here and waiting to be sold, right?!" Ling Xingmo said excitedly.

At that time, Ling Xingmo was not as indifferent as he is now, and he was still more innocent and kind as a child, so he didn't want Xiaolan to fall into the fire pit.

"But I can't run away. There have been people who have escaped before, and the final result is ...... It's just that he was caught and beaten half to death, and then he was still sold. Xiaolan thought of the scene she had seen before, and she was trembling when she spoke.

Ling Xingmo didn't expect such a thing before.

"And this is already a good place for me, a lot of my sisters before, where they go...... Probably not as good as me. Xiaolan turned from indifference to horror as she spoke......

The end result of this conversation was -

Ling Xingmo's dissuasion was ineffective, and Xiaolan did not leave.

However, before Xiaolan was about to be sent away, the former thorny boss of the group of children, Da Hei Fat, stopped the dean and the man and prevented them from sending Xiaolan away.

Speaking of which, Big Black Fat is only 12 years old.

It has been a few years since he went to the orphanage, but because his temper has always been a little strong, and he is not very good-looking, he has never been adopted.

He was one of the two oldest boys in the orphanage.

In general, the boys in the orphanage are not too old, because as soon as they reach a certain age, the orphanage director will find some reason to send them away.

Those who can't be sent away and can't be adopted will be driven away by the dean.

Those who are reluctant to leave must work to earn money for the orphanage in order to continue to live in the orphanage......

For the older girls, the dean's attitude towards them is diametrically opposed.

The dean will treat them to death, and will not let them be adopted again, nor will he let them go.

Until they were sent away by her and the man......

The children in the orphanage seem to have gotten used to this.

But most people don't know the truth, and some even think that they were sent to some good place.

Only a small fraction of the population knew the truth and where the girls might be sent.

Ling Xingmo, who had overheard the dean talking to the man from beginning to end, was one of those small group of people......

Everyone didn't expect that Big Black Fat would do his best not to let Xiaolan be sent away......

They only know that although Da Hei Fat usually has a bad temper and likes to find faults, he is still very good to Xiaolan.

In the years in the orphanage, Xiaolan has always taken care of him, Xiaolan treats him as a younger brother, and he also treats Xiaolan as a sister.

Those of the girls, those of them who have been in the orphanage for a long time, know a little bit about it.

Therefore, the big black fat naturally will not let Xiaolan be sent away.

However, the consequence of his actions was only his own beating.

"Little fatty, let go quickly!" Xiaolan said as she looked at the big black fat who didn't let go of the man's trouser legs.

But the big black fat didn't listen to Xiaolan's words, and he didn't ...... anything Didn't let go.

"Don't fight, don't fight, please stop fighting, I'll go with you obediently, please don't beat him. Xiaolan could only cry and beg the dean and the man who had been beating the big black and fat dean.

But no one listened to her.

The big black fat has been beaten and bruised all over......

The younger children on the side were already trembling with fear, but they didn't dare to step forward at all.

Even the children who had been following the big black fat men before didn't dare to step forward.

Just when the man was angry and wanted to hit the big black fat with an iron rod, the fatal blow was stopped by another stick.

And the owner of that stick is, Ling Xingmo......
