A light rain had drifted by the night before, and the dirt road had been turned into a swamp, and Jane Eyre regretted that she was not willing to spend 10 yuan on a wrecked motorcycle, looking at the waste paper, fruit peels, broken glass, and more unrecognizable dirt soaked in the mud on the side of the road, she was sick for a while, and she had to tiptoe like a minefield to carefully find the road surface that was as free of water and mud as possible, and the speed of her journey was greatly reduced.

I finally found the inconspicuous gate, because from a long distance I could see the white stone sculpture more than two meters high in the courtyard facing the gate: a woman with an angelic face and a smile - but without wings - lovingly holding a crying baby.

She explained her intention to the old man in the communication room, and the old man dialed the phone, and soon Dean Liu, who had contacted her, walked out of the building quickly. "Whew...... Hello, is it Mr. Duan?" "Yes, Hello Dean Liu, sorry I'm late. I'm here today to talk about the last time we discussed on the phone about arranging for our school students to come to volunteer in the summer. "Well, okay. Honestly, it's great that you have such an event idea. As they shook hands, Jane Eyre caught a glimpse of the dean wearing a cross around his neck.

"Most of our schools are local children in Beijing, so it is right for them to have an understanding of the children here and here. Dean Liu, it's my first time here, if it's convenient, can you let me get acquainted with it first?" "Okay, okay, let's go in and talk." Hearing this, Jane Eyre breathed a sigh of relief: it turned out that she had heard that Dean Liu was kind and easy, and that he would personally receive the friendly people who visited, and it seemed that this was indeed the case.

From the outside, the building as a whole looks flat, not very straight, maybe the space inside will be narrow. After entering, sure enough, the corridor is a little dark, the walls are a little damp, and the decoration and layout of the house are still the same as the old hospital twenty or thirty years ago.

Dean Liu's steps were a little slow, I don't know if it was because of his body. When shaking hands with her, Jane Eyre noticed that her face seemed to be very haggard with the anxiety and melancholy that had accumulated in her heart for many years, after all, working here requires not only love and dedication, but also enough patience and strong will to face the repeated tragedy of separation. Perhaps this is the root cause of Dean Liu's current body shape - you know, long-term depression does not necessarily make people emaciated, and may even have the opposite effect, she has seen many such situations and such people in school.

There is only one conference room and a few ordinary offices on the first floor, and the archival materials are naturally not stored here. After talking about the details and steps in the reception room for nearly an hour, Dean Liu led her up the stairs. On the walls of the stairwell hang large framed photographs of political and business dignitaries and international friends. "I heard that 'June 1st' is their common birthday, what do you think if some students are arranged to celebrate their birthday before the summer vacation of next semester?" "Okay, great!" Dean Liu's face welled up with a smile, like a spring suddenly spewing out of the dry desert. As they spoke, they walked around the staircase on the second floor, and the door number of the "data room" caught Jane Eyre's eyes.

Jane Eyre wore a dark suit today, looking more like a bank clerk or an insurance seller. She pinned a simple collar pin to the neckline, which at first glance knew that it was a cheap stall, and if it was seen by the ladies who lived a sophisticated life, they would surely laugh at her for not knowing how to dress tastefully. At this moment, Xingtian and White Snake were sitting in a tattered seven-seater van with no license plate nearby through this collar pin, connecting the required simple equipment, and watching everything in Jane Eyre's line of sight with their laptops.

"It's pretty clear. White Snake said excitedly, "If you use the kind sold on the side of the road, it will definitely not be good." "This guy specializes in surveillance equipment, and he is one of the few masters in Beijing, and he owes me a big favor back then. Xing Tian stared intently at the screen, but the nail clippers were grinding on his fingertips. "The sooner we open the gap from the welfare home, the sooner we can liberate everyone from the desk. "This clue from the welfare institute was only heard by Yugong's old friend when he went to adopt the child, and the public security organs in the city have not received relevant reports, and there is no reliable basis for filing a case, so the only chance is on Jane Eyre's side. And didn't Jane Eyre just pull the banner of their school and get in touch with the welfare home?"

At this time, Jane Eyre had already followed Dean Liu to the depths of the second floor. "The front is where the kids rest. "Unlike the first floor, the layout of the second floor has been significantly changed to become much more spacious and bright, and it can be seen that the staff have made use of the not very generous funds, facilities and other conditions to create a small world for those children to be as comfortable as possible for activities and rest. In the activity room outside, children play games, play with toys, and read villain books in groups of three or five, just like in the kindergarten, so that they are not noisy. When the needle was pointed at the neatly arranged cots as Jane Eyre had entered the lounge through the aluminium glass door, Xing Tian saw children, some able-bodied, some disabled, asleep or awake, some no more than a few months old, some close to school age, all curled up in their own bed-guarded with wide eyes of curiosity. "Remember the route, you just go in and check the archives, don't move too much to frighten these children, they are all poor children. ”

White Snake didn't reply, and he continued to stare at the screen. However, he soon heard a few sharp gasps, and he turned his head to look, only to see the white snake's head drooping down, his left hand covering his face, his right hand caressing his heart, and from between his fingers, he could see beads of sweat rolling down his cheeks. Xing Tian quickly put away the nail clippers and held her back, gently letting her lie flat on the back seat. "Oh my God, what do you think of again?"

"Teacher Duan?" Seeing that Jane Eyre was a little dazed, Dean Liu called out softly, "Let's go to the third floor and have a look, the children there are older." "Ugh...... Oh, okay. Jane Eyre pulled her mind back from her distant memory, unwilling to tell the Dean that she had been here about twenty years ago, and that she had not remembered seeing a leader with a cross around his neck.

In the blink of an eye, the white snake was basically back to normal, but it was still blinking in pain. "Your condition is serious. Xing Tian looked at her worriedly, "When did it start again?" "Today...... Just today......" she sat up on her own.

"Did the picture from Jane Eyre connect you with anything?" "Those kids," she didn't dare to look at the screen again, "their parents abandoned them, didn't they, Uncle Xu?" but I think they're luckier than me......" "Don't think so!" Xing Tian punched himself on the thigh, "Your parents didn't abandon you." I repeat, the only thing your father told me before he died was to find you......!"

Coming out of the building, Jane Eyre was accompanied by Dean Liu and slowly walked around the courtyard, aiming her neckline at every corner that White Snake could sneak into at night. For the children here, the backyard is a large playground with a lot of equipment such as slides, seesaws, etc., and the paint is newer. Jane Eyre couldn't help but pause her steps again, remembering her words back then: "Can the ship pull me to the backyard to play?"

"You can finish recording before lunch, right?" said White Snake as if to ask himself, "I still have to go squatting in the afternoon." "No problem, I'll do the picture analysis in the afternoon. If you wait patiently, if Jane Eyre has just been here and the file is stolen, it will be too easy to make people suspicious. "Seriously, Uncle Xu, it's awkward to squat in that place!" "You're alone, is there a problem with your safety?" "That's fine, and Yugong said that he was going to find Zhuo Wu today, and he planned to transfer him to help me as soon as possible." ”
