Chapter 175: Chess
Lin Yu knew that the little boy would not be here, in his eyes, all the volunteers were passers-by, they would not become friends with the children in the orphanage, and the gifts they gave were far from changing the children's lives.
Lin Yu's eyes glanced briefly, and found that there was really no little boy in the team, he turned around and walked in the direction of the orchard, the little boy was either sitting under the orange tree at this time, or in the zoo that belonged to him.
Lin Yu walked into the orchard with ease, and saw no little boy under the orange tree, so Lin Yu walked to the next destination, the little boy must be hiding in his zoo.
There was no sunshine this morning, and the trees in the orchard rustled in the cool breeze, and Lin Yu gradually had a feeling of autumn air, and it seemed that summer was going to pass after all.
Lin Yu saw that the orange trees around him still hadn't blossomed and fruited, maybe they hadn't grown to maturity, so he crossed the stream in the middle of the orchard, and in front of him was the little boy's exclusive zoo.
Lin Yu found a figure sitting on the tree from a distance, this time he was no longer facing the direction of the wall, but looked at the orchard in front of him in turn, I don't know if he has less expectations for the outside world, or if he wants to see Lin Yu's appearance for the first time.
Sure enough, Lin Yu was quickly noticed from the boy's perspective, a rare smile appeared on his face, and he sat on the branch and beckoned to Lin Yu.
The boy's change is obvious, at least to himself, and he has become a little like an old friend. Lin Yu also had a knowing smile on his face, he walked over quickly, climbed the trunk of the largest tree, and sat side by side with the little boy.
Looking at the world around them from the trees was different, they could see the top of the orange tree at a glance, the lush leaves gently turning in the wind like wind chimes, and in front of them was the building of the orphanage, which seemed to pop out at the end of the orchard, although it was a little taller than the surrounding fruit trees, but the whole blended in just right.
The wall was about the same height as they were sitting, and Lin Yu could vaguely see the top of the car on the road outside as long as he raised his eyes slightly, but the height of the little boy was not visible, and he needed to hold on to the branches above and stand up carefully to be able to catch a glimpse of the prosperity of the outside world.
The sky seemed to be much closer to them, and sometimes one or two birds flew over their heads, and the little boy often seemed very excited at this time, and his eyes followed the bird's flight path for a long time, until the bird flew to a place where he could no longer see, and the little boy lowered his head in a little frustration.
Lin Yu captured this scene, he felt that the little boy did not like birds, but longed for the freedom that birds could fly, the sky above his head was very vast, but the place where the little boy could move was limited to this orphanage.
It can be seen that the little boy likes the gifts he gave very much, even if he sees Lin Yu again, the headphones that the little boy plugged in still haven't been put down, and there is a kind of indifference in his expression that only adults have.
"Which song do you like to listen to the most?" Lin Yu asked curiously, after a whole week, the little boy must have listened to the songs in it several times.
"This is the one," the little boy raised the mp3 in his hand, and what he was listening to was the answer to the question in Lin Yu's mouth.
Lin Yu leaned his head over to see that the MP3 screen displayed a piano piece, and the name of this piano piece was "Pathos".
Lin Yu's heart couldn't help but contract, this kind of coincidence made him feel a sense of sadness, so people with good lives have their own good, and people with bad lives have similar experiences?
Lin Yu did not particularly recommend this Beethoven piano piece, but among the hundreds of songs he downloaded, the little boy was the only favorite one, which coincided with the choice of Little Wolf and Zheng Xiuwen at the beginning. Is it because of the ill-fated fate expressed in the qin song that he will have a similar feeling, right? Lin Yu naturally thought of such a reason. Needless to say, the little wolf is a pet abandoned by its owner, after a period of wandering life in the garbage heap to find food, and Zheng Xiuwen has been a withdrawn child since he was a child, he is not allowed to play on the street like other peers, and is locked in the piano room every day to practice, so the song "Pathos" will become a secret word between him and the little wolf, so that the little wolf can still understand after death, and the meaning of the song played by Zheng Xiuwen does not need to be said.
Now, Lin Yu met a third person who liked this piano song, and he saw both the little wolf's life experience and Zheng Xiuwen's childhood loneliness in the little boy, which had to make Lin Yu feel more pity in his heart.
After sitting on the branch for a while, Lin Yu remembered the gift he had bought for the little boy, so he said beside him, "I'll listen to the song later, I have something fun to give you now." ”
Seeing Lin Yu's mysterious expression, the little boy was immediately interested, he turned off the mp3, took off the headphones and asked, "Do you have a new gift?" To be honest, the little boy really likes the mp3 given by Lin Yu, in the past week, he has hardly taken the headphones off his head except for eating and sleeping. He thinks that every song in it is very good, and some of the melodies can also paint a beautiful picture for himself, so that the little boy really feels that the whole world is gradually becoming clear from darkness.
So the little boy began to look at the things around him again, the wall of the orphanage was no longer a cage bar, it was just a civil wall, the director and the cleaning aunt were no longer the fierce hell messengers, and the little boy actually found that they were really doing their best to take care of the children's lives.
Everything in the orphanage seems to be less gloomy, the little boy begins to know how to sit on the branches of the trees and enjoy the beautiful scenery of the yard, the songs in the mp3 seem to have become a kind of spiritual sustenance for him, and the little boy feels that this may be the best gift he has ever received.
During the week, the little boy no longer had to attract the attention of others, nor did he do any pranks to make himself proud, and even the dean could not believe that this little devil had spent the whole week quietly.
With the previous gift, the little boy was naturally looking forward to what Lin Yu would give him this time, he watched Lin Yu take out a rectangular wooden box, and after the wooden box was opened, there were many things with words written on it.
"This is chess, have you played it before?" Lin Yu asked with a smile.
