Chapter 339 Orphanage

We were talking, the driver over there had already driven the car, we were not talking, the roar of the car made communication a little difficult, but from time to time the sisters around me, or with gestures simple communication, during this period I noticed, do not blame the woman around me to introduce her sister to others, although the girl over there is dressed a little rustic, but she looks really good, very simple like a rural girl. And the three people sitting opposite us have not spoken, sitting there quietly, not only has no communication, not even movement, their eyes are also fixed, if it weren't for their undulating breathing, I really don't know if these three people are still alive.

As the master said, there was no road here, we drove along a dirt road, the bumps on the road naturally needless to say, there were a few times I felt like my car had already flown up, the two sisters around me were obviously used to such bumps, and there was no discomfort, but I had been bumped. I drove for more than an hour, and I didn't expect that it would take so much trouble to go to the Jiang family's mansion, and finally the car stopped, and I heard the driver come over and shout, "Yamaguchi, can't go." ”

"Sister, did you ask if you got off the bus, you can't get off?" The woman next to me asked me, I quickly stood up, said yes loudly, and jumped out of the car, I never felt so eager to escape from a place, and the moment my feet stood on the ground, my heart was much more steady. I watched as the car drove away slowly, looking around. I thought there should be an orphanage here, don't worry, it's a place where there are people. But I looked around for a long time and didn't find any orphanage, strange, isn't this the mountain pass, why isn't it, can this orphanage still run with long legs, just thinking so, a small courtyard entered my field of vision.

It's not like I haven't been to an orphanage, and I didn't participate in charity activities when I was in college. The feeling that the orphanage gave me. It should be a clean and clean small building, with a small yard, lots of children's toys, and those orphans are all smiling around you. I want you to give them candy. That's what an orphanage should look like. But this one in front of you. I couldn't get in touch with the orphanage, after all, it didn't look like an orphanage. It's a place that I feel familiar to me, because it's also a place we can see in our lives, and we call that place a recycling station.

It was a small courtyard, and the reason why I didn't see it at first was because its walls were all made of stones, and it was near the mountain pass, so it was not noticeable at all. There is a row of small houses in the yard, which is the kind of small houses commonly built for workers on construction sites, simple prefabricated houses. There are still a lot of scraps picked up in the yard, piled up everywhere. There are no toys in the yard, no slides, and when you get closer, you can see a sprinkler hanging high in the air, which is probably the most extravagant thing in this small yard, which is used for children to bathe in summer.

There was no noise or laughter in the yard, only a girl in her twenties, who was doing the laundry, but the clothes were very small, and they seemed to be for the younger children. I stood next to the courtyard wall and looked inside, in the row of prefabricated houses, there was an open door, an old lady was cooking in front of the stove, the kind of big pot of rice with a wood fire, there was steam coming out of it, but there was no smell of the rice, I guess she was just cooking a pot of light porridge. There is a sign hanging on the wall at the door, crooked, with a few words written on it, Chaoshui Welfare Institute.

"Hello?" I politely said hello, and the girl who was doing the laundry looked up at me, and the sight almost scared me, and I noticed that the girl's entire face was a birthmark, showing a strange red. "Excuse me, is this an orphanage?" I asked.

"Isn't there a word on the door? What do you do? If you're here to ask for bones, we don't have that here. The girl said, her tone unfriendly.

"No, that's the case, I want to ask, is there a Jiang family's mansion near here?" I asked, and when I heard about the Jiang family's mansion, the girl was stunned for a moment.

"Where are you going? Do what? The girl asked.

"yes, something." I said, the girl wiped her hands on her body, stood up, but eliminated a lot of hostility, I quietly used the eyes of the sky, looked, this girl and the old lady in the house, all good people, their souls showed a faint golden pink, looking very soft.

"You wait a minute." The girl walked into the kitchen, muttered a few words to the old lady inside, and walked out again.

"You came by car, that car won't go into the Jiang family's mansion, it's all going to go around the mansion and go directly into the mountains, as for the mansion to take this way, it's not too early now, you just stay here, I'll send you over after dinner, that place is a bit evil, if you go, you may get lost." The girl said.

"Thank you very much." I said, but what I thought to myself was, I really don't know why this girl has changed so much, and she doesn't even ask me why she wants to go.

"By the way, why are you going?" She asked, and I thought to myself, this reaction is fast enough.

I told me all about the cause and effect of the incident, and the girl suddenly laughed, "It turns out that the letter sent by your uncle is for you." The girl said.

"So, you know the letter?" I asked.

"Yes, yes, of course I do, because I sent the letter." She said naively.

"You sent it? Then I ask you, did you send two letters at that time? I asked.

"yes, yes, how do you know?" The girl said.

"Do you remember where the other letter went?" I asked anxiously.

"It's like... In Japan, the postage of the one I sent was expensive, and I don't know what the use is, but it took a lot of money to sell such an expensive thing. The girl said.

"Well, okay, thank you." My guess was confirmed, "By the way, are there any people who have been in and out of here in the past two days?" I asked.

"Do you say into the mountains or into the ancient mansion? It's just a group of you who go into the mountains, because the car comes every three days and never delays. There are no more people who go into the mansion inside, and there are very few people there. The girl said.

I didn't feel like I saw that uncle, and I wouldn't know what I wanted to ask, so I just took a step at a glance, I looked at Ji Ziyang, and he was not far behind me, nodding at me quietly, as if to tell me that this place is safe. However, because I heard that Yun Ximing and Uncle Li Jing have not yet come, I will inevitably have some apprehension in my heart. I walked into the yard, and at this time the old lady came out of the kitchen and greeted me with a smile on her face.

"I heard, you're here to find Agui?" The old lady asked.

"Yes, mother-in-law." I replied.

"Okay, good, not busy, not busy, it's too late to eat and then leave, it's not too far, but the road is not easy to walk." The old lady said and took out a bowl of porridge and handed it to me, there were only a few vegetable leaves in it, very bland, I was embarrassed to refuse, took it and took a sip, I didn't expect this porridge to have some taste, quite delicious. Looking at the girl and the old lady's bowl, it was cool and only water was left.

"Mother-in-law, aren't you an orphanage here? Why didn't I see a single child? I asked.

"The big ones were taken away and went to the city, and I don't know when it was a head, saying that they were sent to school, and they had to come back in a few days, on the weekend. The little ones are still sleeping in the house. The old lady said.

"But mother-in-law, why do you go so far to school, and why don't you just move to the town, life is much more comfortable than now." I asked.

"Alas, this place is full of yin, many people like to come here to throw children, can save one is one, I want to do something in my life, simply stay here, pick up children, cook, it's also good. The older children were sent to school in the town, and the younger ones stayed with me. Originally, it was said that he would be able to get a license this year, and he would be able to move to the city when the time came. But he also said that he always failed the review, so you can tell me how this can be done, and it has been dragged on. The old lady said, listening to her say this, I seem to understand something, the town is just using the old lady to adopt the baby, the old, easy to manage and raise the old, to take the school, at the same time to reduce the number of orphanages, because the number of people is not up to standard, so can not apply for a new orphanage address, inside and outside the town left a construction money, it is really a lot of money.

As he was talking, there was a child's cry in the house, and it seemed that there were really a lot of children living here, and when they woke up, they all became vibrant. The small courtyard was instantly filled with the cries of children.

"Wake up, wake up, hurry up and feed it, little girl, you sit down for a while." The old lady said and walked away with the birthmark-faced girl.

I looked around in the small courtyard, there was garbage everywhere, it was not a gathering place for postmodern art, this orphanage did not have such high artistic attainments, all the garbage here was picked up by them and sold for money, and it also revealed that this orphanage was not rich, so to speak, it was overstretched.

The child's crying continued, but it soon weakened, and not long before the girl came out, complaining as she went, "It's so tiring to be fed at last." The girl sat on the ground, tired and unwilling to move.

"Look at how you work here at such a young age?" I asked.

"Of course there is a reason, because I was the first orphan in this orphanage." (To be continued.) )
