Chapter 101: Unpredictable
The night sky above the rooftop is deep and boundless, and the horizon as far as the eye can see is half dyed with bright lights, half with hazy stars.
As the night deepened, Luo Ying was still lying on her back on the movable chair on the rooftop. She turned her head to look at An Yanyao's courtyard not far away, and the balcony outside his room was still shining.
She flipped through the address book on her phone and kept her eyes on her cousin Lin Lu's number. Two days ago, she called her grandmother again, but she still couldn't get through, so she called Lin Lu, Lin Lu said that her grandmother never came home, and she didn't know where she was going to play when she was traveling.
After her grandmother, who was different from ordinary people, left with Uncle Yu Jing, she used travel as an excuse to not let the family disturb her. In the past few days, she hasn't even called her.
An Ying, who now lives next to her house, is like a grandmother, and has a look that doesn't match her age. Probably, even the age she revealed to the outside world was fake. Those who don't know must think that she looks young because she knows how to take care of herself, but for her, she naturally thinks of other aspects. For example, Anying is a person with special abilities like her grandmother, or is she, like her, a living dead......
After thinking about it, the screen of her mobile phone suddenly popped up with the phone page, and the number of the old director of the welfare home was displayed on it.
An inexplicable sense of foreboding suddenly came from her heart, and in surprise, she quickly picked up the phone. "Dean. ”
"Luo Ying, are you—have you slept?"
The old dean's trembling voice came from the other end of the phone, and she wrinkled her eyebrows and got up from her chair. "I haven't slept yet, what's wrong?"
"I'm going to tell you something. ”
The old dean's voice was still as deep, she sighed secretly in her heart, and said in a shallow voice: "You say." ”
The old dean standing on the small playground of the welfare home looked timidly at the room in front of him, and the cry of the baby boy who had been sent some time ago came from the separate baby room.
She clenched her fist with one hand and spoke to Luo Ying: "Yunyun has been crying and stopping, stopping and crying since two hours ago, Zheng Rui just told me that she heard Yunyun say to her that he wants to see you." ”
Luo Ying couldn't help biting her lip, closed her eyes and said slowly: "Yunyun said that he wants to see me? ”
She knew he wasn't a normal child, but she couldn't guess what he was trying to do. What did he want to see her now?
"Zheng Rui's ears are a little problematic, and I also think that she heard other children say that they want to see you, so they mistakenly thought it was Yunyun who said it, but when I told her this, she repeatedly affirmed and said...... It's what Yunyun said. She's scared to go home now, and Yunyun is still crying in her room, and I can't help it. ”
"Don't worry, I'll go take a look. ”
The night he couldn't stop crying, she stayed with him in the welfare home all night, he didn't say a word to her, and now he opened his mouth to Aunt Zheng again, which was really scared to death for normal people.
"In the middle of the night, don't go out alone, you must find someone to come with you. The dean hurriedly ordered.
"Don't worry, I'll find someone to accompany me out. I'll change my clothes first, and I'll be right over. ”
The wall lamp next to the stairs was soft, and Luo Ying hurriedly stepped on the soft carpet downstairs and returned to her room, changed her clothes, and then called out the whirlpool.
Vortex floated into her room, looking at her dress, and looking up. "Do you still want to go out so late?"
"Well, can I borrow your ghost talisman, I want to go to a place quickly. ”
"Yes, I'll go with you. ”
"Hmm. She turned off the lights in her room, took the ghost charm that Uzumaki had handed her, and got up and floated out of the balcony.
When she landed at the door of the welfare home, she returned the ghost charm to the whirlpool. Soon after she knocked on the door, the dean came and opened it for her.
"So fast?" Dong Ping, the director of the welfare home, opened the door and was surprised to see Luo Ying.
The dean looked out of the door in surprise, and Luo Ying also looked back to see that the whirlpool that had been standing a few steps behind her was gone. Afraid that the dean would think too much, she still opened her mouth. "The car was parked downstairs just now, so I asked Sister Xie Ya to send me over directly. She still has something to do, so she leaves first. ”
Uzumaki had been standing where she had just fallen, unable to move. Luo Ying turned her head just now, and she didn't seem to see her, and her eyes didn't stop at her for half a second.
The door in front of her was shut, and she resumed her movements. But when she was about to float into the welfare home, she was immediately stopped by a ghost net, which felt like a ghost web woven from resentment. Most of the ghosts who ended their lives by suicide can weave this kind of net, but at present, she can't break it, and she can't go to the house to break it, so she has to wait outside obediently and wait for the change.
Luo Ying has Hades Jade on her body, if there is really a ghost in it who wants to harm her, it will not be so easy to get it, on the contrary, if she is not careful, she will hurt herself.
The baby's cry became clearer and clearer, and Luo Ying asked the dean to wait for her outside the room, and opened the door to enter the room by herself.
Warm layout in the baby room with gentle lighting. Luo Ying walked calmly to the side of the crib, leaned over the side of the bed, stared at the baby boy who was smiling at the crying voice. "I heard you wanted to see me, so I came, and now, do you have anything to say to me?"
The baby boy lying in the crib just moved his limbs and laughed at her with teary eyes.
"You can talk to Aunt Zheng, can't you talk to me?"
There was no sound in the room except for her soft sighs and the giggles of babies.
She bowed her head helplessly. "Okay, I don't care if you don't want to say it or for whatever reason you can't say it, anyway, from this second on, you don't cry anymore, I'll go out and talk to the dean. ”
As soon as she let go of her hands holding on to the rails of the crib, the baby boy reached out to her with a uh-uh sound.
"I won't hug you, my arm hurts, you feel sorry for me, I came to see you in the middle of the night, spare me." She coughed, glanced at him, and turned to walk out of the room.
She walked to the door, and the baby boy behind her didn't cry anymore, and she breathed a sigh of relief.
Luo Ying opened the door, stepped in front of the dean, and smiled at her: "Okay, it's okay." ”
The dean lowered his eyes and shook his head. "No, one more thing. This evening I received a letter from the volunteer who sent Yun Yun and asked me to go to her current residence to find her. ”
"Her letter?" Luo Ying asked in surprise.
"Well, it's a letter. After reading her letter, I called her, but I couldn't get through. So early tomorrow morning, I'm going to rush to the place where she left me in the letter to see what is going on. ”
"Far away?"
"It takes about three days to go back and forth. So there's one more thing I want to ask you for. In fact, Yunyun has been crying from time to time in the past two days, and now except for me and Zheng Rui, no one in the courtyard is willing to take him, and now Zheng Rui is going home, and I have to go out tomorrow, you see...... Can you help me take him for three days?"
"Hmm. ”
"Are you sure you can, won't it be troublesome, if there is something difficult, it is better for me to find a friend to take care of it first. Luo Ying replied simply, and the dean hurriedly retorted.
Luo Ying smiled and nodded. "You're going out tomorrow, so I'll take him home tonight, it's going to be tiring to hurry, so you can rest." ”
She rescued him in the alley, and then he came here, whether it was a coincidence or a purpose, she was not sure. However, what is certain now is that if someone else takes care of him, he will definitely not be able to take care of him. He is not an ordinary baby, so naturally he cannot be treated normally.
"Hmm. Thank you so much, Luo Ying. ”
"Don't be polite to me. She beckoned to the dean and walked back into the nursery.
The baby boy moved left and right on the bed with a smile on his face, and Luo Ying raised the corners of her mouth at him, leaned over and picked him up.
She always felt that this child was so happy every time he saw her, and he should have no ill will towards her.
She carried the child out of the room, and after the dean brought her a bag of his belongings, she said goodbye to the dean and carried him out of the door.
Uzumaki had been waiting for her outside the courtyard gate, and when she went out to see her, she whispered, "Vortex, let's stroll back." ”
"Who is this child?" Vortex carefully looked at the baby in Luo Ying's arms, and found that there was nothing unusual, before speaking.
"The child who likes to cry the most in this welfare home, the director is going to go away tomorrow, and other volunteers don't want to take care of him, so I asked me to help take care of him first. Luo Ying weighed the weight on her elbow, looked down at the baby boy's sleeping face under the dim street lamp, and whispered.
He had been crying for so long so that she could come to see him, and now, he was sleeping peacefully in her arms, and she couldn't tell Vortex how special he was, just as she had never been able to tell Ming about him before.
