Chapter 110: The Orphanage
"She, she, where did she go?"
Su Yi looked at the staircase in horror, startled by the scene in front of him.
Xu Annian was also puzzled, and hurriedly took a few steps forward to look around, but the strange little girl was indeed really gone.
He hurriedly looked at Zheng Huajin,
For her own people, Wang Siyun is a girl, although she is born with yin eyes, but she knows very little about this kind of ghostly thing.
As for Su Yubao, I don't know what his ability is yet, so I don't make judgments.
As for Yi Yi, she is simply an ordinary little girl, so only Zheng Huajin can discuss with herself.
Zheng Huajin didn't say a word, but also looked around, and then whispered tacitly
"It's supposed to be people!"
Person?
Hearing this conclusion, Xu Annian squinted his eyes, recalling the feeling when his hand touched the little girl just now, warm, with body temperature, it really doesn't look like an evil spirit, plus in broad daylight, the sun shines around, which reduces the possibility of evil.
Xu Annian stood in place, it seemed that this orphanage was getting more and more interesting.
Thinking of this, he ignored the little episode, turned around and prepared to push the door in, wanting to see what was so strange about this so-called orphanage.
Boom, hoo!
But as he pushed the door hard, there were several sounds of chains shaking.
The gate was locked from the inside.
He shook it vigorously, and the door was locked so firmly that it seemed impossible to open without brute force, which made everyone helpless.
Perhaps it was the fluctuation of the chain of the gate that alarmed the people inside, and only a sound of footsteps was heard, mixed with the sound of talking,
"Wait a minute, wait a minute!"
Then a man stepped out of the depths of the hallway, took out the key from inside, and opened the door!
The door opened, with a heavy crunch.
The man in the door was obviously stunned for a moment when he saw Xu Annian in front of him, and then quickly adjusted his state and asked suspiciously
"Excuse me, what's the matter?"
At this moment, both sides are looking at each other.
Xu Annian looked over with the voice.
This is a middle-aged man, in his fifties, very fat, slightly bald, wearing a loose sweater, old style, and some small patches in some places, with big black glasses, he looks simple and kind, which makes people feel very kind!
Hearing the man's inquiry, Su Yiyi behind him immediately rushed forward and greeted him with a smile
"Uncle Bai, it's me!"
When the man saw Su Yiyi, his eyes lit up, obviously the two sides were very familiar, and he immediately showed loving eyes and said enthusiastically
"Yo, isn't this Yiyi, why are you here again, isn't the physical examination over?"
Suyi shook his head,
"No, I'm not here for business, no, this friend of mine wants to do charity and sponsor the children here, so I brought him early this morning, so I didn't bother you!"
Hearing this, the man became even more enthusiastic and hurriedly greeted politely
"No interruption, no interruption, it's so good, we welcome!"
After speaking, he looked at Xu Annian, who was in the center of the crowd,
"This kid is so caring at such a young age, it's really a hero out of a teenager, there aren't many people like you anymore, come on, hurry, please inside!"
After speaking, he welcomed everyone into the building, but he just glanced at Bai Sanfu in Wang Siyun's arms with his spare eyes, probably because it was too small, and he didn't say anything.
Su Yi winked at Xu Annian playfully, it seemed that she was quite clever and found such a suitable reason to make everyone's sudden visit seem less abrupt.
The man invited the group to the reception room on the first floor, where the facilities were very old and there were few furnishings, and there were only a few retro leather sofas in the small room, the surface of which had been polished and wrinkled.
Xu Annian looked carefully, the air was filled with the smell of moldy walls, and the lights above his head were not so bright, dim and gloomy, highlighting the indescribable dullness.
The man poured the boiled hot water for everyone, and it could be seen that there were cheap tea leaves brewed in it, floating in the cup, exuding an ethereal heat.
"Come on, drink tea, I'm sorry, the conditions here are limited, please understand if the hospitality is not good, this morning let you stand outside for so long, it's my negligence, it's my negligence!"
Of course, Xu Annian couldn't lose his politeness, he was simply polite, and expressed the purpose of coming this time according to Su Yiyi's reason.
Of course, the man was very happy when he heard it, and he was busy with a solemn and serious face.
"Then I will formally introduce myself, the contemptible surname is Bai, is the director of this orphanage, at present, there is indeed a shortage of funds here, and I urgently need caring people like you to help, so that the children here can live a better life, I really thank you for them in advance!"
After speaking, he solemnly bowed to everyone, which Xu Annian did not expect, he could feel that this man's emotions came from the heart, not in disguise, they were all his true feelings, such a kind man, is there really anything wrong?
He was a little skeptical of his judgment, and his favorability towards men also increased, and his impression was much better.
He picked up the teacup slightly and took a sip, smiling to express his understanding of Dean Bai,
Then he asked to see the children here, of course, there was no problem, Dean Bai got up and led everyone upstairs.
On the second floor, the space is much larger, and there is a hall converted into a canteen in front of you.
Obviously, the children have already gotten up and washed up, and are obediently sitting in their seats waiting for breakfast. Two simplely dressed teachers shuttled through it with ease, looking not young, but clean and neat, with a face full of love.
Xu Annian looked at all this, and faintly felt that something was wrong, that is, these children and the two teachers felt that their spirits were not very good, I don't know if it was because of the morning, each of them was very depressed, as if they hadn't woken up.
Dean Bai didn't notice Xu Annian's doubts, and kept talking
"The second floor is where the children usually move, and the third floor is where they rest and sleep, because of the heavy work, and I can't pay a high salary, so at present, only these two teachers take care of them, there is no way, this is now the limit of what I can do! Ay! It's just that these kids are suffering! ”
Xu Annian didn't speak, nodded, and looked at the children's food, which really made Xu Annian feel uncomfortable.
A bowl of light millet porridge, a small steamed bun and a little black pickles are their breakfast that needs to grow their bodies, and the conditions are really difficult.
He thought of himself, although he had been weak and sick when he was young, at least he had the care of his parents, he could eat enough, and he could eat meat during the New Year's holidays.
But for these children, they are all poor people who have been abandoned, not to mention being cared for by their parents, and maybe even eating meat is a luxury!
Xu Annian's heart softened, and he hurriedly rummaged through his pocket, wanting to take out some money to come out, but he came out in a hurry, and there was nothing in his pocket.
Fortunately, Wang Siyun understood what she meant, took out a wad of money from her bag and handed it over.
Xu Annian took the money and stuffed it directly into Principal Bai's hands.
"You take these first, buy some meat for the children to eat in the next few days, make up for it, and I'll send it to you when it's finished!"
He knows in his heart, after all, there is still a lot of money sent by Wang Siyun at home, even if he does his best to make the children live better.
Principal Bai gratefully settled the money and shouted excitedly into the cafeteria
"Children, this uncle said he would buy you meat to eat, thank you uncle!"
When the children in the restaurant heard the news, they finally showed their long-lost innocent smiles, cheered, and regained some of the vitality that children should have.
Xu Annian only felt very relieved, this is what they should be, looking at the about thirty smiling faces here, each of them is malnourished, thin and small, which makes him feel a lot of emotion,
Suddenly, Xu Annian remembered something, kept patrolling, he wanted to find someone,
He wanted to find the weird little girl on the stairs at the door!
