Chapter 126: Orphans' Grievances: Night Visits to the Orphanage
"How is she?"
"Emotions are still not very stable." Dean Sun's eyebrows were furrowed, looking full of sadness, "And she has a little fever, I fed her dinner and antipyretics, and the sleepiness came up again." ”
"Looks like I'll have to stay for now." I squeezed a wry smile out of my mouth.
The rain outside continued, and the wind intensified as night fell. The orphanage is located in a remote location, and in addition to the external teachers and volunteers, the director and the caregivers only have time to go home during the holidays and weekends. I came all the way, and I didn't even book a hotel, and I didn't know how to get into the city in this weather and time.
"You must not have looked at the weather forecast when you came, did you?" Dean Sun quipped.
I smiled and scratched my head, thinking to myself that I had come too abruptly and had not done anything to prepare. I didn't even think about staying in an orphanage if I couldn't find the old director.
"There's a teacher who has taken a week's off, so you should sleep in his room first." Dean Sun's eyes flickered, "But you have to do me a favor." ”
"Okay." It is my duty to do my duty, whether it is to help the orphanage or to help the director himself.
Dean Sun smiled slightly: "It's been a long time since the children from the orphanage have come back, I called the children to the classroom to play games at night, you can tell them about life outside by the way." ”
I nodded my head in agreement, it wasn't a difficult task.
"Let's go eat first, and only when we are full will we have the strength to go to class." Dean Sun warmly grabbed my arm and dragged me all the way to the cafeteria.
In the evening, the children were made scrambled shredded potatoes, rice porridge and boiled eggs, and each person had a carton of milk, but this was for them to take back and drink in the evening. Because I am afraid that they will eat too much in one go, and they will be uncomfortably swollen when they go back.
As I watched the children line up to get milk, it occurred to me that I seemed to be like this when I was a child, and that I had eaten more than other children since I was a child, and sometimes the old dean would secretly stuff an extra carton of milk into my arms.
Just as I was immersed in my memories, a coquettish voice dragged me back to reality: "Yi Ran, come here!" ”
The little boy named Yi Ran walked up to Dean Sun tremblingly, and Dean Sun pulled him to his side, and I noticed that the child was holding two cartons of milk in his arms.
Dean Sun pinched Yi Ran's little nose and asked, "Why did you take two cartons of milk?" ”
"I didn't ...... It's nothing ......" Yi Ran hugged the milk in his arms tighter, and was so scared that he didn't dare to raise his head.
"For the sake of knowing that you take the initiative to drink milk, the teacher will forgive you." Dean Sun gently grabbed Yi Ran's ear and said in his ear, "Next time you want to drink it and tell the teacher in private, don't take it directly, otherwise the other children will be unhappy, you know?" ”
"Dean, I see." Yi Ran pouted, looking very aggrieved.
"Well, let's go back, don't forget to go to the classroom to play games later." Dean Sun gently patted Yi Ran's little buttocks, and then turned around
He said to me, "This kid usually doesn't like to drink milk the most, and every time he has leftovers, I don't know what happened today." ”
I snickered as I peeled the eggs, these children were so cute, they were orphans, but they never complained about life. All of this is due to the Angel Orphanage, who take care of each child in every detail.
After peeling the eggs, I put them into Dean Sun's bowl, but I didn't expect that almost at the same time, she also threw the eggs she peeled into my porridge. The two of us looked at each other and smiled, feeling a touch of warmth in our hearts.
"By the way, tell me about Xia Tong, do you know how she was sent to the orphanage?" As I spoke, I cut the eggs in half with a spoon and ate them one by one.
"I really know this, before the old dean adopted Xia Tong, he told me her story, Xia Tong is really a poor child." Dean Sun looked a little moved, "When she was five years old, her parents were in a car accident and both died, so she and her sister were sent to an orphanage. ”
"She has a sister?" I was slightly surprised.
"There is one, I remember that it seems to be six years older than Xia Tong, called ...... Summer Dream! That's right, it's called Xia Meng. Dean Sun didn't even care about drinking the porridge, and tried to recall, "Not long after I came to the orphanage, I was adopted by a young couple. At that time, the old dean begged them to take Xia Tong away together, because the sisters had a good relationship and it was difficult to separate, but the economic conditions of the young couple did not allow them to raise two children. There is no way, Xia Meng is about to enter junior high school, and someone must raise him, so he can only follow the family in the end. ”
"Where is Xia Meng now?"
"I should still be at my adoptive parents' house, and I'm about to go to high school." Dean Sun suddenly said with a serious expression, "Xia Meng is a taboo for us, you must not use this name in front of Xia Tong." ”
"Why?" I'm puzzled.
"I heard that Xia Meng promised Xia Tong when she was leaving, that she would definitely come to see her often, and that she would be picked up when she grew up. But she hasn't been here once in the past five years. At first, Xia Tong always cried alone, but later she may have slowly become numb, but as long as the word 'Xia Meng' is mentioned, her emotions will be even more out of control than today, and she will even drop things! ”
"The Great Luo of the Worlds"
"Why don't you take Xia Tong to see her sister?" I asked again.
Dean Sun said, "You think we haven't thought about it." But the person who adopted Xia Meng changed his contact information and moved, and we couldn't find it at all. ”
"Maybe they have something to worry about." I don't want to speculate on the bad side, but I really can't think of it, why didn't Xia Meng come back to see Xia Tong, did she forget her sister?
After dinner, Dean Sun gathered all the children in the classroom, of course, except for Xia Tong, she was still sleeping in the bed. This is not a classroom full of desks and chairs, but more like an activity room, with desks in a circle and a large open space in between.
The children enjoyed the game, and Dean Sun and I took them into two teams and played eagle and chicken. Finish the game, everyone
Chatting together, the kids wanted to hear stories, and I almost couldn't resist telling them ghost stories. But look at the lightning and thunder outside, forget it, let alone children, I'm afraid that Dean Sun will be too scared to sleep.
I told a few random myths and stories, and also told them about their high school life, and told them what courses they would take in the future, although I haven't learned it myself, but it's certainly not a problem to fool children. The children also had a lot of questions, asking all kinds of strange questions, and in the blink of an eye, it was almost eight o'clock in the evening. I may have drunk a little too much porridge and couldn't help but want to go to the toilet, so I took leave and left.
In order to save electricity, the orphanage has turned off all the lights in the corridor on the second floor, and only our classroom still has lights. But the toilet is a bit far away, I had to turn on the backlight of my phone and walk forward, the sound of clear footsteps echoed in the dark corridor, change to a timid person, walking this road must be terrifying.
As I walked, I suddenly remembered that Fat Boy and I had also done this kind of thing to visit the teaching building at night, and it was almost this kind of terrain, I deliberately hid so that Fat Boy couldn't find me, and he was so scared that he cried in the toilet alone.
I stood in front of the toilet door, the dark corridor was illuminated by white light, and at the intersection of light and shadow, I seemed to see a shadow flash. I didn't dare to be careless, so I hurriedly chased over there, and soon chased to the corner of the stairs. What made me even more nervous was that I felt a residual yin qi, and this yin qi was not weak at all! These yin qi seemed to drill into my bones, and as soon as I touched my body, I had an inexplicable feeling of palpitations.
This is by no means an ordinary ghost, maybe it's a terrible ghost!
My backpack was still in the classroom, and now that I didn't have the power of the Emperor's Eye, I definitely wouldn't be able to face the ghost with my bare hands. So I rushed back to the classroom, and as soon as I entered the door, I saw Dean Sun scolding a child: "How can you go through my brother's bag casually, and put it back for others." ”
I hurriedly ran over and snatched the bag, but the backpack, which was already wide open, was still seen by Dean Sun and the children in my bag, such as the peach wood sword and other magic weapons.
Dean Sun's face changed and he asked, "What are you doing?" ”
"I ...... Engage in collecting. I explained casually, regardless of whether she believed it or not, and then added, "Don't leave the classroom for a while, trust me, wait for me to come back." ”
When Dean Sun was still in a daze, I had already copied the guy and rushed out, and at the same time posted two ghost repelling talismans at the door, even if I couldn't completely stop the ghosts, I could delay the time.
These talismans were all drawn by myself, and my talisman making level is limited, so my talisman is far less powerful than Lin Siqi's. Master didn't leave me anything except his own peachwood sword, and even the power of this sword, I could only exert fifty percent.
"Looks like I'm going to have to improve my existing means."
I thought as I traced the yin qi along the road, which went down the stairs and through the corridors on the first floor, and was finally blocked in front of a room.
It was Xia Tong's room.
