Chapter 227: The Orphanage

Exorcisms, short-lived families, and the curse of the Silent Night.

Bai Wuji vaguely revealed this information to me, while listening to these things, I also noticed that the route in front of me was a little strange, this road looked more and more "off", the surrounding buildings are getting less and less, more and more yellow sand, continue to walk, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like a place to live, at least it won't be a community or something.

So, I asked him, "Where are you going?" ”

Bai Wuji continued to walk forward, pointed in the direction of the far ahead, and responded: "Don't worry, it's right away, do you see the big iron gate in front?" That's it! ”

I did see two black iron doors from a distance, surrounded by high walls on both sides of the iron gate, inside the iron gate was an old yellow building, and there was a sign hanging on the iron gate, which had a vague self, Wang Sheng Orphanage.

So, I asked, "What are you talking about?" Orphanage? ”

"yes, yes."

"Huh? I remember when you first said 'a family', and later changed your words to 'family'" Forty-two walked up to the two of us, looked at the iron gate in front of us, and smiled, "Little brother, you are so fast to change your words!" Isn't it possible that the story is also made up? ”

"I do have a problem with what I said, but well, it's not a lie. I just don't know how to describe it. Anyway, this orphanage is the family and the family. Let's go, let's go inside, and I'll tell you slowly. Bai Wuji hesitated as he spoke, and I could see that he did not want to say something, but I did not doubt that he was lying.

And even if I lied, the trip was definitely worth it for me. Aside from the quiet night, I could actually smell insects faintly when I approached the area. It was faint at first, but the closer I got to the orphanage, the stronger the smell became, and it reminded me of two people.

The two people who were taken captive by Cedric along with Silent Night in Nameless Village's Forgotten Pool......

"I'll just kid, little brother. And, seriously, I think there's going to be something interesting going on here, at least it doesn't taste ordinary. Speaking of this, Forty-Two deliberately took a deep breath to tell me that he could smell it too so that I could see it.

We then came to the iron gate, Bai Wuji skillfully reached into the door, it was the kind of old-fashioned door plug, not locked, and was directly pulled open by Bai Wuji after two pulls.

It looks very empty inside, and the building is only an old yellow building. On the southwest side of the old yellow building, there is half a basketball court, and several teenagers are playing there.

Bai Wuji walked towards the teenagers, and at the same time, continued to tell me the story of the cursed family, "Didn't I say that their families are short-lived. In fact, this thing is quite cruel, although it is said that everyone will die, but if you tell you in advance, which year and year you are, the approximate time is the time of your death, I will definitely feel uncomfortable. It's good that time is far away from me, but I'm afraid that time, it's much faster than the average normal person. So a few decades ago, someone came up with a way, instead of letting these children ask their parents where they went every day and suffering for their short lives, it would be better to let them live more like normal people, and be as happy as normal people. That person was also a member of the family, and she lived a long life, and she is still alive. Of course, it's not that this curse is broken, in fact, the old woman was originally adopted by this family, what about this secret, these children don't know, I'm an exception. ”

After saying this, Bai Wuji also walked to the middle of the court. He took the basketball that happened to fly in and threw it, but unfortunately he was not allowed at all.

A boy picked up the basketball that Bai Wuji had dropped, and stepped forward with a smile, "Brother Bai!" Haven't you been busy finding a new job lately? How can I still have time to play! ”

"It's not my word to be busy or not, we have the ability, do the bosses dare to fart? He didn't dare. ”

"Don't blow it, the last time you called to beg someone not to fire you, it was still ......"

"Hey, alright, it's almost there. That one...... What about the silent night? ”

"Sister Jingye isn't here, she seems to have gone out yesterday to buy something for Grandma Wang, right?" The boy scratched his head, apparently not knowing where the silent night was going.

But another short child next to him grabbed the basketball at this time and said casually: "No, how can I go out for a day, I still saw Sister Jingye in the bathroom on the second floor in the morning, she seemed to be in a daze, and almost entered the men's toilet!" ”

"Come on, you guys play, I'll go to the royal grandmother to say hello." So, Bai Wuji said goodbye to these children.

When he turned around and walked back to us, his eyes suddenly changed, not as relaxed as before. After walking some distance, I asked, "They are what you said too, the children of the family?" ”

"Well, but they thought they were orphans, and they didn't know that they only had a few years left for the rest of their lives."

When he said this, I probably understood one thing.

"You and Jingye have a good relationship."

"Hmm...... Well? What are you asking? ”

"I mean, you're guilty."

"It's not that I'm guilty or something?"

I looked back at the children on the court, "Guilty of your words, ruined the happiness of the silent night." ”

He froze, and then didn't give me a response.

We walked into the yellow building, there was a lounge on the first floor, Bai Wuji said that usually the old lady would be here, and today was the same, lying on the mat, fanning the fan, looking at us through the window when Bai Wuji knocked on the door, squeezing out a loving smile on his wrinkled face, and hurriedly got out of bed to open the door, "Oops, little Wuji!" Why did you think of this today, you ......" Halfway through the words, he looked at Bai Wuji's hands, and then looked at the hands of several of us, the original kindness disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye, "Empty-handed again?" It's not you, kid, I've taught you how to behave since you were a child, and you're really a fart! Let me tell you, it's past lunch today, and the children are taking a nap, don't make a fuss, go back and forth! ”

"It's not the royal grandmother, I'm not here to rub the rice today!"

"And what else can you do? Ah, looking for a silent night? ”

It seems that Bai Wuji often comes here to find a quiet night.

"Oh, really, I ......"

"What the hell are you? You said you were in your twenties, how old was the quiet night? Eighteen hasn't arrived yet.,You're lolicon? I'll tell you, if you come here again to harass our family's little quiet night, I'll ......" said, turned around and picked up the broom, and I was going to shoot Baiwuji!

So, Bai Wuji directly pulled me from behind to the front, "Hey! Hey, something else! It's not me, it's not me this time, he, he's looking for Silent Night! ”

The broom stopped in front of my forehead.

Actually, after entering here, I have been thinking about one thing, about the smell of insects.

At first, I thought there were infected people, or hereditary ones, or both. However, the children in the stadium smelled normal, and there was no smell other than sweat. Then I wondered, is it the old lady who has lived the longest?

But she still doesn't have that smell on her body, she should be a person.

It was only at this moment, when the broom rested in front of my forehead, that I once again caught the smell up close, right on the broom.

"Grandma......" I was about to speak.

But as soon as he said this, he was stopped by the old lady, "It's appropriate for him to call me grandma, you can call me aunt." ”

Well......

It's a little embarrassing.

"Auntie, this time I'm looking for Jingye, and Bai Wuji is just leading the way. The reason for finding her was that a friend of mine said something to her that she shouldn't have said, so she came to apologize. So, I pulled out the stupid old seven again. In fact, theoretically, the stupid old seven said that day, but I always need a reason, I can't tell this old lady directly, I know another quiet night who looks exactly the same.

"What did he say to Silent Night? Hey, it's okay to say anything, our family has a good temper at night. But since you apologize for a few words, it must be really unpleasant. In this way, you invite us to a meal and take a walk, and this matter will be over, okay? ”

I was stunned, in fact, I was still thinking in my heart, how to make up the stupid old seven's hexagram, so that this "apology" can be more reasonable.

Bai Wuji secretly leaned into my ear and whispered: "This old lady is like this, she loves to take advantage." She said that when she invited them to dinner, she invited the children of the entire orphanage, and by the way, she and Jingye! Normal people will definitely not agree, and she understands it, but it won't be a loss to try anyway, this old guy is thick-skinned. But then again, we don't know where Jingye is now, unless we squat down a few times, you'll have to bribe her......"

As a result, as soon as Bai Wuji was halfway through his words, he let the old lady kick twice and kick away from me, "Little cub, what are you muttering?" ”

"No, it's okay Grandma Wang, my ...... Ahem, you ask him, he's at home today. ”

"Nonsense, I don't dare to go to your home field, eight times out of ten times for dinner, and every time I say that I will go to the outdoor public toilet, you have to ask us to choose a restaurant with a toilet!"

"Ahem...... I don't have any money. ”

"Fuck off, whether your family has any money or not, I knew it for the first few decades!"

Speaking of this, I turned my head to look at Bai Wuji, "So yesterday, you really wanted to trick me." ”

"Ahem, that ...... It's not brother, isn't our theme a bit biased? Silent night, you have come for silent night! ”

"Auntie, I can please dinner. And in addition to eating, I think a lot of the equipment in our orphanage is too old, and I am willing to invest some money to update it. But in the quiet of the night, you must let me see you. ”

Maybe it's because of my attitude, or maybe it's because the old lady sees that I really want to see Silent Night. Her eyes also changed a little when she looked at me, and she was even a little curious, "Okay, I agreed to the meal, you are willing to give money, of course I am willing." But boy, what did you say to apologize, right? Tell me, why the hell do you want to see Silent Night? ”

Sure enough, lies can't be fooled.

But I don't seem to need to carry it out to the end, after all, if these two silent nights are really problematic, the matter is not small, and it cannot be carried out.

So, I responded, "Two things, the first is that I've seen a silent night, but it's not your silent night. Second, the short-lived curse here, I know, and I'm very curious about it. By the way, I might have a way to get around that curse. ”

The old lady's eyes lit up, she should have been surprised by what I said, but before responding, she grabbed Bai Wuji's collar first, and raised her hand to twitch, "I knew you didn't have a door!" You've been this stinky kid since you were a child! ”
