Chapter 591: Baby Girl
"Xiao Wang, this time Greentown Group is willing to give in, thanks to you, you are our great benefactor!" The old lady said gratefully.
"Dean, you're serious. I'm just doing a little bit of triviality. Wang Yu said modestly.
He then asked, "By the way, when are they going to start demolition?" ”
"After the Lantern Festival." The old lady was a little reluctant and said, "This house was left by my husband, and now it is about to be demolished, so I am really a little reluctant." ”
"Then Dean, are you ready for the future?" Wang Yu asked.
"The 20 million yuan compensation given by Greentown has been received, and I donated all of it to the city to set up a charity fund to help orphaned and widowed children in society. And I myself accepted the city's arrangement to become the director of a newly established public orphanage, and the children here would move with me. ”
When the old lady said this, her face was happy, and she didn't feel sorry for the 20 million donated at all.
"That's for the best." Wang Yu also feels that this is the most perfect ending.
"Yes, in this way, Xiaorou's girl doesn't have to worry about the orphanage all day long, she can finally let go of this heavy burden and pursue her own life."
The old lady found that when she talked about Fan Xiaorou, Wang Yu was a little distracted, she didn't know what she was pondering, and there was still a trace of sadness between her eyebrows.
So she also got serious and asked, "Xiao Wang, you came here this time, is there something else?" ”
Wang Yu nodded: "I do have some questions I want to ask you." ”
The old lady turned around and ordered, "Ah Wu, you go out and watch some younger brothers and sisters, remember to help me close the door." Wang Yu and I have something to talk about. ”
After only each other was left in the room, she asked, "Are you here for Xiaorou's business?" ”
Wang Yu nodded and went straight to the point: "I found a lot of unusual things about Xiaorou. ”
The old lady said, "That child is indeed very unusual. Since you came to me today, it means that you already know everything. Well, I'll tell you everything I know. ”
Wang Yu didn't expect the other party to be so happy, he was surprised: "Dean, are you really willing to tell me, aren't you afraid that I will hurt Xiaorou with bad intentions?" ”
The old lady smiled and said, "I only see protection in your eyes when you look at Xiaorou, no matter who will hurt that child, you will not hurt her." ”
I have to admit that her eyesight is very accurate.
The old lady continued: "When I was a child, I discovered that she had a miraculous ability, that is, every time she cried, it would rain in the sky, and if it was winter, it would snow. ”
Wang Yu has also discovered this point in his contact with Fan Xiaorou during this time.
The old lady continued: "Later, when the girl was twelve years old, I discovered that she possessed another, even more incredible ability. ”
Wang Yu opened his mouth and said: "It's 'resurrection', right?" ”
The old lady nodded: "In the winter when Xiaorou was twelve years old, there was an accident, she accidentally fell from the roof of the building, and she lost her breath on the spot. I took her to the hospital, but the hospital refused to accept her, so I had to bring her back again, put her in my room for the time being, and lied to the other children, saying that she was just asleep. That night, I cried all night alone over her body, but I didn't expect that the next day she would wake up unharmed, all the wounds on her body were healed, and there was no memory of the fall from the building. ”
Wang Yu asked, "Why are you like this?" ”
The old lady shook her head and said, "I don't know why that kid is like this, maybe it's God's favor." ”
If it's only once or twice a while, it's really God's favor, but if it's frequent, it's not favor, it's more like a punishment.
Wang Yu asked again: "Has Xiaorou only happened once before?" ”
The old lady said, "Yes, it has been until the age of sixteen, and Xiaorou only had that time. ”
"What about after sixteen?"
"After the age of sixteen, Xiaorou insisted on leaving the orphanage and working hard outside alone."
Wang Yu felt very strange, why did Fan Xiaorou's "curse" almost disappear when she was a child, but now it is so frequent?
"Dean, who are Xiaorou's parents? When and how did she come to the orphanage? ”
"The child was sent to an orphanage by a Taoist priest."
"Taoist!" Wang Yu was surprised.
"Yes, I still remember that late at night in Lixia nineteen years ago, it was raining lightly outside, and I heard someone knocking on the door, so I hurriedly put on my clothes, and after going downstairs and opening the door, I found an old Taoist priest with white hair and long beard standing outside the door."
The Taoist priest was holding an oil umbrella in his left hand and an infant baby girl in his right hand. The Taoist priest said that the baby girl had just been born and was abandoned by her parents in the suburbs, and that he himself was a monk who could not take a baby with him, and hoped that I could adopt it in this orphanage. ”
"Of course I said yes. Then the old Taoist priest gave her a heavy gold ingot, and then told me that the baby girl could only bring her to the age of eighteen at most, and that when she came of age, she must be allowed to leave the orphanage and live alone outside, otherwise it would cause trouble to me and bring disaster to me. ”
"But Xiaorou, this girl, didn't stay in the orphanage for 18 years in the end, and when she was sixteen, she insisted on giving up her studies to work in the city to make money to subsidize the orphanage."
After listening to the old lady's words, Wang Yu understood that maybe the "curse" started when Fan Xiaorou was eighteen years old, so the Taoist priest warned the dean's wife that Fan Xiaorou must be allowed to leave the orphanage when she becomes an adult, otherwise the orphanage will be affected.
The key is, who is that Taoist priest?
How did he know that after Fan Xiaorou became an adult, she would be tortured by life and death?
Wang Yu asked the old lady again.
The old lady said, "I don't know where the Taoist priest came from, and he didn't leave his name." ”
This answer made Wang Yu a little disappointed, but anyway, through today's visit, he got to know Fan Xiaorou better, which made him one step closer to revealing the mystery of Fan Xiaorou.
After returning to the twin apartments in the afternoon, Wang Yu received a text message from Fan Xiaorou:
"Mr. Wang, tomorrow night is the Lantern Festival, and there is a lantern party organized at Bay Square, do you have time to go together?"
Wang Yu looked at this text message and did not reply in a hurry, but called Ning Xue and asked her if she had time to see the lanterns tomorrow night.
Ning Xue apologized on the phone, saying that all the leaders of the Lantern Festival City Bureau had to take the lead in working overtime and going to the streets to maintain order.
Wang Yu felt a little regretful.
Only then did he reply to Fan Xiaorou with a text message: "Okay, we'll see you at Bay Square tomorrow night." ”
He hoped to solve the mystery of the girl.
……
The fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the traditional Chinese Lantern Festival.
In the evening, Wang Yu sent the rice balls he personally wrapped to Ning Xue's office of the Municipal Bureau.
Since you can't watch the lanterns with Ning Xue tonight, you should always have a Lantern Festival with her.
Ning Xue didn't expect Wang Yu to personally make a Lantern Festival and send it to herself, and she was still blushing and a little embarrassed in the coaxing of her colleagues in the office.
After eating the Lantern Festival, Ning Xue was going to patrol the streets, and Wang Yu went to Bay Square in advance.
Bay Plaza is the largest waterfront plaza in Gyeongyang.
Whenever there is a major event party, it is held here.
Tonight's Bay Square is crowded with people, and there are brilliant lights everywhere, all kinds of lantern floats, folk customs, and night market snacks...... It's very lively, like a PLUS version of the temple fair.
Wang Yu leaned on the railing and looked up at the blue-black sky, with a faint moon hanging in the sky.
He took out the half of the thousand-year-old pearl and stared at the sky.
Wei Lin once said that the thousand-year-old pearl will show clues to the location of the void spring under the illumination of the fifteenth moonlight.
Perhaps because the moonlight was too dim at this time, there was no information on the surface of the Millennium Pearl.
Wang Yu took back the thousand-year-old pearl, and it seemed that he had to wait until the moon rose higher later.
