Chapter 369: Temporary Adoption
Lin Fan walked to the eldest girl, a dirty little face was very thin, but a pair of eyes were bright, and asked softly, "Little friend, where are your parents?" ”
The girl was very wary of Lin Fan, and saw Lin Fan approaching and took a few steps back. But when I saw that the other children were still eating, I didn't dare to go far.
Lin Fan smiled and took a piece of dough and handed it to the girl.
Faced with the temptation of food, the girl finally came over, took the dough and devoured it.
"What's your name, kid?"
Lin Fan then asked.
Maybe there is food in the mouth, and the girl is also letting go, and there is a posture that you have to eat if you take me away.
"Debt collectors."
“? What the? ”
Lin Fan didn't hear clearly, so he asked again.
"Debt collectors."
This time the girl swallowed the food in her mouth and said her name clearly.
But Lin Fan wondered, how could someone give his daughter such a name.
"Why are you called that? What about your parents? ”
"I don't have parents, they left me in the stinky ditch after giving birth to me, and my mother-in-law picked me up. She said I was here to collect debts, so she gave me that name. ”
Hearing this, Lin Fan understood, and then asked, "Who are these children, their parents?" ”
The girl ate and replied, "They don't have parents, they were all raised by their mothers-in-law." ”
"What about your mother-in-law?"
Hearing this, the girl's eating speed also slowed down, and her eyes were slightly red.
He sniffled and replied, "My mother-in-law died two years ago." ”
Hearing this, Lin Fan looked at the six or seven children in surprise and asked, "Then who raised these children, are they all you?" ”
The girl was a little anxious to eat, and coughed a few times and replied: "Well, yes, some of them were picked up by me, some were picked up by my mother-in-law, and I took care of them." ”
"Then how do you raise them, do you rely on begging, there is no place for soup kitchens in the city."
"Yes, but it will only be opened once every ten days and half a month, and it is usually others who see us pitifully and give us some food, or pick up the garbage thrown away by others to find something to eat. But during this time, the people in the city didn't give it, so we were hungry for so long. ”
Lin Fan looked at this girl, a girl who lives by begging, and it is not easy to raise a few children younger than her.
Qin Ya finished distributing the food, came to Lin Fan's side, and said softly, "Brother, can we raise them?" ”
Lin Fan looked at the girl in front of him, and he couldn't bear it.
After thinking for a while, he said, "Yes." ”
Hearing that Lin Fan agreed, Qin Ya suddenly became happy, and hurriedly told Shangguan Jing the good news.
However, he was stopped by Lin Fan.
"We can only raise them for a while, and we still have to go. Before I leave, I'll find them a good home. ”
"Well, thank you, brother."
Qin Ya also knew that they couldn't take these children away, but it was not bad to let these children live a good life for a few days.
Lin Fan told the girl that he would take them to eat, eat delicious food, and warm clothes to wear. The girl was still very vigilant, but she had a good impression of Qin Ya, seeing that Qin Ya and Lin Fan had a very close relationship, looking at those skinny children, she nodded and agreed after thinking for a while.
In this way, Lin Fan went out shopping once and brought back seven children.
This matter made Shangguan Hu very dissatisfied.
One is that Lin Fan brought back a few children, although they are very pitiful, but after all, this is the people of Central Plains City, they brought it back for adoption, and some of them did not give face to Central Plains City.
The other is that Shangguan Hu knew about the fact that they were blocked by a group of thugs through the Hou family.
Fortunately, they didn't have an accident, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to explain to Shangguan Zhenhai.
Strictly ordered Shangguan Jing not to go out without his orders in the future, and told Lin Fan to leave.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye, during which Lin Fan saw several planes arriving in the sky.
In one case, it was a small propeller plane, the kind that could only carry up to ten people, but a glider was towed in the back.
Lin Fan really sweated for them, they were all worried about the big plane with four engines, not to mention the kind of glider that didn't have any power.
There were three groups of people who arrived, they were people from the other three main cities, Shuanghu City and Qinhuang City, and the farthest one was the people from Sichuan City who had just arrived today, and those few small planes towing gliders were their people.
The team leaders are all led by ninth-order ability, and the number of people is also forty or fifty.
Today, Zhongyuan City held a welcome meeting for those who can come to help in the city hall, and it is also a departure meeting.
Hou Wenshou, the only ninth-order ability in Central Plains City, also appeared, and it was the first time Lin Fan had seen him.
He is an old man of seventy or eighty years old, with white hair and wrinkles on his face.
"Today, everyone is welcome to come from thousands of miles to support our Central Plains City, and I thank you all here."
He bowed slightly.
Looking at the people below, Hou Wenshou continued.
"You may know a little bit about the crisis in Central Plains City this time, so I'll talk about it briefly. Just to talk about the current situation we have, that spatial gap is fifty kilometers southwest of our city, it is a small mountain range, and there were only a small number of demon beasts in the past. But a few months ago, there was an inexplicable fluctuation of ability, and we also sent people to investigate, but we searched all over the mountains and found nothing, so we didn't pay much attention to it at that time, after all, it was already our hinterland. ”
"But it was only in the last month that a large number of demonic beasts appeared there, and we began to pay attention. Sending people there to reconnoitre, only to find that there was actually a spatial gap that had been formed, and a large number of high-level demonic beasts were gathered there, and we knew that something was wrong. ”
"We first sent high-level abilities and combat troops to clean up, thinking that we could clean up those demonic beasts without fail, but we never expected that there were demonic beasts coming out of the cracks, and the number and level were increasing. Now there are sixth-order demonic beasts appearing. ”
"After the spatial gap appeared, the demonic beasts in the Nightmare Forest were also ready to move, and the front line couldn't send too many troops back. Realizing that things were not good, we sent a wide appeal for help and asked other main cities to support us, but with the current situation we have, we guess that there is a high probability that there will be an emperor-level demonic beast there. ”。
Speaking of this, Hou Wenshou paused for a moment and let the following digest it.
After waiting for a while, Hou Wenshou continued: "We have deployed 50,000 troops and 1,000 capable people there, which is all the military forces we can mobilize now. However, these forces are facing the increasing number of demonic beasts, and some of them are not enough, so they ask for everyone's help to help Central Plains City survive this crisis. ”
