Chapter 42: I can't forgive myself
The more Ji Yu thought about it, the more confused she became, she didn't want to waste time, so she turned her head and went to the backyard while the nurse wasn't paying attention.
The nurse wanted to stop her, but she was fat and had a hard time walking, let alone running, and she couldn't catch up at all.
After entering, Ji Yu knew that the two uncles were not exaggerating at all, and only when they saw it with their own eyes did they know that this was not heaven but hell.
The backyard is in the shape of a zigzag, which is more dilapidated than the appearance of the Salesian Bureau, and Ji Yu is calling Dabao while pushing it out from room to room.
There are at least a dozen children crowded into each room, and the inside is cramped and dirty, and flies can be seen flying in the winter weather.
And those children, all with yellow faces and thin muscles, were not surprised, curious or confused when they saw someone suddenly break in, and their eyes were dull, like soulless puppets.
On such a cold day, they were wearing patched jackets, which had not been washed for a long time, and emitted a pungent smell, and many children did not even have a pair of shoes, and their hands and feet were frostbitten early.
Ji Yu was so anxious that she couldn't take pity on others, but she found one room after another, and she carefully pulled out every child to see it, but there was no big treasure.
The nurse had already run into the backyard with a shout, and Ji Yu pushed open the last door, but there was still nothing.
The nurse leaned against the wall and finally gasped evenly, and scolded when she opened her mouth: "You dare to break into the Salesian Bureau, I think you are impatient!" Do you know that there are people above us?! ”
Ji Yu slowly turned her head, trying her best to control her emotions: "Let me ask again, where are you going to have the big treasure?" ”
"You don't understand people, do you, they all told you that people aren't here!"
Ji Yu pursed her lips and walked towards her, and the last trace of calm was about to be exhausted.
The nurse is a paper tiger without steel, seeing that her face is getting more and more frightening, and her eyes are particularly terrible when she stares at people, she can't help but feel a little worried: "You, he ran away when you walked on the front foot!" Also bit our people...... That's a little madman! ”
Ji Yu stopped and frowned.
When Dabao is nervous, he does bite people, and Hu Dacheng was bitten by him.
Don't......
"It's not like that!" A girl of seven or eight years old suddenly spoke.
The children in this room are all gathered around the round table in the middle, burying their heads in stacking some artifacts and offerings, and even children of two or three years old have to follow along with the paste and sticky paper.
"It's you little bastard again, you dare to be nonsense, see if I don't tear your mouth apart!"
The little girl merely grimaced at the nurse's threat.
"You're looking for that weird kid you just delivered, isn't that your brother? The nurse wanted to snatch his sugar gourd for her own son to eat, but your brother refused to let go, and the nurse slapped him several times, and then he bit her, and was kicked far away by the nurse, and lay on the ground for a long time without getting up, and no one cared...... Just as the steward went out and forgot to close the door, he ran away. ”
The little girl poured beans into the bamboo tube and said the truth with a crackling sound.
Hearing that Dabao was beaten, Ji Yu's nails were cut directly into the flesh.
The breath that had been blocked in her heart from just now instantly broke through her reason, she turned around suddenly, raised her foot and kicked the nurse's fat belly!
The nurse stumbled to the threshold behind her, and fell out of the door, and outside the door was the steps, and she rolled down the steps like a huge ball.
"How many times did she slap Dabao?"
The little girl was looking at the miserable appearance of the nurse being beaten with excitement on her face, and when she heard her question, she suddenly opened a slap: "Five...... No, ten! ”
She also stretched out her other hand, as if she was afraid that Ji Yu would not see it, and shook it vigorously.
Ji Yu picked up the scissors on the table, crossed the threshold, walked to the nurse who was still lying on the ground, grabbed her collar and lifted the person halfway, and slapped ten times in a row without stopping.
The nurse covered her swollen face like a pig's head, and her teeth leaked and said, "You dare to hit me...... Believe it or not, you regret reincarnating, I'm ...... above"
"Is there someone above you? You said it. ”
Ji Yu had a calm face, and her tone was a little colder than her face, "What you said is nothing more than the county government, I believe that there are your people in the county government, but the county government will not be all your people, at least not the county commander." The people of Yeyang praised him as a good official, I guess he was only temporarily blindfolded and deaf, if he knew that the Salesian Church, which was originally designed to be a loving and rescuer, had become a profit-making tool for you people, what would he do? ”
The nurse shrank for a moment, her eyes were a little weak, which also confirmed Ji Yu's guess.
The people of the Salesian Bureau are in collusion with the government, but the people behind them are at best imps, not Hades.
"You'd better bless Dabao to be okay, otherwise you'll ......" The scissors turned flexibly twice in her hand, and Ji Yu poked her backhand into a place less than a finger away from her head, "I'll let you go directly to reincarnation." ”
The nurse was trembling all over, and she was directly scared to pee.
"Oops, such a big person still pees his pants, and he has no face to see people! Hahahahaha......ha
The little girl leaned back and forth with a smile, and when she saw Ji Yu raising her feet to leave, she hurriedly followed and grabbed her: "I know where your brother's things are, I'll take you there!" ”
"Xiaoqu, you bad embryo! How dare you ......" came the angry roar of the nurse behind him.
The other children were trembling with fright, and as if the girl called Xiaoqu didn't hear it, she took Ji Yu to the front yard, pushed open one of the doors, and pointed it out to her.
"This is the room of the pig woman, she is the only nurse on duty today, your brother sugar gourd was trampled on by her, and this bag of things was hidden by her...... Wow, such a good garment, it's still made of cotton......"
Dabao's luggage was really here, and it was opened, and the things inside were placed on the kang, Xiaoqu touched one of the padded jackets, sucked the snot that flowed from the cold, and his face was full of envy.
It's a pity that the clothes are too small for her to wear.
Ji Yu wrapped the things again and touched them in the inner pocket of the padded jacket, but fortunately, the money bag was still there.
She opened the purse, took out half of it, and handed it to the little girl.
"Thank you today, you can buy some food and share it with other children."
Xiaoqu's eyes widened in an instant, she grew so big, this was the first time she was so close to the silver.
"This ...... Really give it to me? "She just wants to borrow this person's hand to teach the dead pig woman a lesson, and she even has the money to take it! Don't be a fool, are you?
Seeing Ji Yu nodding, she hurriedly snatched the silver, looked at it over and over again, and put it in her mouth to bite.
She had seen others do it, though she didn't know why she wanted to bite such a precious thing. What she understands is to mark and prove that the money will be hers in the future! There's her tooth marks on it.
Ji Yu has another layer of concerns.
"You just went against the nurse like that, and when I'm gone, will she embarrass you?"
Xiaoqu didn't take it to heart at all: "She didn't dare to beat me, so she was just a good mouth, I know the "good things" of her and the steward...... Hee-hee. ”
Being able to protect oneself in such an environment naturally has its own set of survival wisdom.
Ji Yu still wanted to find Dabao, so she didn't dare to delay any longer, so she left the Salesian Bureau with her baggage.
She even borrowed pen and paper from a letter-writing stall to draw a portrait of Dabao, and took the portrait to ask people on the street one by one, and asked when she met someone: "Have you seen my brother?" ”
But without exception, the response was to shake the head.
"I don't know", "I haven't seen it", ...... Ji Yu is going crazy.
If Dabao really disappears, if Dabao is sold by abduction, if Dabao is deliberately broken and thrown on the street to beg......
Countless terrible thoughts rushed out of her head, guilt and panic filled her heart, and there had never been a moment like this, which made her hate and even loathe herself so much.
It was her, it was she who abandoned Dabao.
If Dabao can't be found, or if she has something long and short, she won't be able to forgive herself in this life.
