Chapter 25: The Forsaken of the World!
"Scum!"
"Brute!"
"Beast!"
"Bastard!"
Along the way, Deng Rui and others scolded non-stop.
It wasn't until Wang Buren couldn't listen anymore and let the bodyguards shut their mouths that Deng Rui and the others quieted down.
But their eyes were still full of anger, resentment and ...... Fear.
The location of the orphanage is very remote, between the suburbs of Chongcheng and the urban area, but it is surrounded by green mountains and lakes in front, which is a treasure of feng shui.
It's no wonder that some developers have taken a fancy to this place and want to renovate the real estate.
The road was not easy to walk, the potholes, the business car was shaking, Wang Buren's face was pale, and when he was about to vomit, it finally arrived.
The car door opened, and Xu Bai got out of the car.
In front of him was a small courtyard, where a lonely three-story building towered.
The walls are mottled and old, and there are creepers all over the place.
The five big characters of the Angel Welfare Institute have also faded.
There was light in the room, but it was too faint to penetrate the darkness of the night, just like the despair of Tan Ziyue and the others at the moment.
Without Xu Bai's command, Wang Buren waved his hand, and the four bodyguards stepped forward and opened the heavy iron door.
Crunch......
The piercing sound echoed in the night sky, and there was a sense of horror.
The former orphanage is very suitable for making suspense movies.
"Sister Ziyue is back!"
"Brother Deng Rui!"
The door opened.
A group of children flocked out with smiles on their faces.
But soon, the smile on their faces stiffened, and turned to fear and vigilance.
At a glance, there were twelve children, the eldest was fifteen or sixteen years old, and the youngest was only four or five years old.
The older children, with the younger ones behind them, were obviously terrified, but they didn't take a step back.
"Who are you? Why do you want to arrest Sister Ziyue and Brother Deng Rui? Are you going to drive us away? We can go, you let Sister Ziyue and them go!"
Xu Bai took out a cigarette and wanted to light one.
But look at these children, the smoke is extinguished again.
"Xiao Wang, let them go. Xu Bai said.
Wang Buren nodded, and the four bodyguards gently pushed Tan Ziyue and the four of them.
The four of them quickly ran to the children, tore off the tape that sealed their mouths, didn't say anything, turned around and looked at Xu Bai and the others angrily.
"What do you want to do? Trouble is our cause, and whatever comes at me! They are innocent! How can you attack them? Do you still have a conscience?" Tan Ziyue shed tears again.
She couldn't imagine what these children would suffer.
Xu Bai grinned, revealing a mouthful of white teeth.
"Is there a place to sit?" Come all the way over, just let us stand?" Xu Bai asked.
Tan Ziyue was stunned for a moment.
Deng Rui stared at Xu Bai stubbornly, his clenched fists powerlessly released, he knew that no matter what he did, there was no point.
Do your best, let it be the fate of heaven.
"Ziyue, take them to rest, Yuan Hua and Geng Fan, go and see Xiao Cheng's situation. ”
Deng Rui said, took a deep breath, and said to Xu Bai and Wang Buren: "The person who comes is a guest, come in and sit." ”
In the frightened and blank eyes of the children, Xu Bai and the others followed Deng Rui into the fish.
There were three candles lit in the hall, no wonder the light was so faint.
"It's too dark. Wang Buren frowned.
"The water and electricity have been cut off for three months, and we have to rely on candles and oil lamps. Deng Rui brought two old, but very clean wooden stools.
Xu Bai sat down casually, but Wang Buren reached out and touched it, and then sat down.
"To be specific, I'm curious. Xu Bai said.
When Wang Buren heard this, he blinked, and then began to touch his pocket.
When he touched his phone, he stopped moving.
Deng Rui didn't understand what Xu Bai was going to do, but there was nothing unsightly here, so he immediately spoke: "This is a private orphanage, and the old dean has taken in a lot of orphans. ”
"The old dean died of stomach cancer, and the children were no longer taken in, so we orphanages went out and took on the responsibility of raising them, and our wages were not high, all of them were gathered, and it was only about 20,000 yuan a month, barely able to maintain their lives. ”
"They are very sensible and will also find ways to make some money on their own, pick up bottles, sell newspapers, sell flowers, and wash dishes in small restaurants...... I've never done anything illegal!
Deng Rui was a little emotional: "One of the children is called Xiaocheng, he said that he found a good job, secretly went out without us, disappeared for three months, a few days ago, he came back, he fell at the door of the orphanage, he was sick, very sick, we took him to the hospital for an examination, the examination fee was 3,000 yuan!
"Later, we had to take him to the clinic, and the doctor at the clinic said that he was in the uremia stage of chronic renal failure, and he needed to go to a big hospital for a kidney transplant, which would cost at least 200,000! Hahaha, where did we get 200,000? This is an astronomical amount!"
Xu Bai sighed faintly: "But you don't want to give up on him, so you come out to cheat, touch porcelain, and try to get money." ”
Deng Rui grabbed his hair with both hands, a big man, crying tears and snot flowing together: "We...... We can't help it...... We are all orphans, we are outcast......s of the world! If we don't even value ourselves, who cares about us? No one cares about us!"
Xu Bai still couldn't hold back and lit a cigarette.
Taking a deep breath and exhaling the smoke, Xu Bai asked, "How many orphans have been taken in by the old dean, and how many have grown up like you and come out to work?"
"The old dean doesn't have much savings, he can't afford to adopt too many people, from the construction of the orphanage to the present, there are less than fifty in total, and there are more than 20 about the same age as me. ”
"Do they know that the old dean is dead? Did they help?"
Deng Rui was silent for a long time, and Xu Bai saw gloom in his eyes.
"I've been to them, some of them can't be contacted, some of them are doing well, they have bought a house and a car, they have married a wife and had children, and some of them are similar to me, working boys, three or five thousand a month, and there are also work-study students like Ziyue. ”
"Have they ever helped?" asked Xu Bai again.
"Out of it. Deng Rui nodded: "Relying on the efforts of the four of us, how can we earn more than 20,000 yuan a month?" Excluding our daily expenses, we have at most 5,000 yuan left a month, and the rest of the money is pieced together by the partners who walked out of the orphanage together. ”
"Heh, what about those who buy houses and cars?"
"They...... They also have difficulties. ”
Xu Bai took a deep puff of his cigarette.
Yes, who doesn't have a hard time? Housing loans, car loans, children's diapers, milk powder, kindergarten, which doesn't cost money?
But Deng Rui, who has no house, no car and no high income, how can they make up this money?
People with a conscience are always in the minority.
Or it's not that they don't have a conscience, it's that they have to take care of themselves before they can take care of others.
Throwing away the half-burned cigarette, Xu Bai smiled and said, "A kind person must always be rewarded, otherwise who wants to be a good person?"
As he spoke, Xu Bai turned his head to look at Wang Buren: "Xiao Wang, is your money clean?"
Wang Buren was a little stunned.
"If your money is not clean, I'm afraid of dirtying the clear eyes of those children. Xu Bai said.
