Chapter 51: Nightmares
"Don't be in a hurry to leave, I still have something to ask you!" Lu Ling grabbed the hand of Li Jun, who had not yet stepped out of the hut, and spoke to the group of children seriously.
"Didn't we tell you all what you were going to ask? What else is there to ask? Didn't you just eat one of your cookies? Don't you want us to go? ”
Because of the short time they got along just now, these children also had a preliminary understanding of Byron and Lu Ling, and they knew that Byron just looked fierce, but in fact he was not much bad, so he had no scruples when he spoke.
The reason why Lu Ling stopped this group of children was because of Byron's meaning, so at this time, she also looked at Byron with a puzzled expression, waiting for him to speak.
Byron, with his slender legs, walked up to the group of children in a few steps, and his face was full of smiles.
"I think you misunderstood me, I just heard you say that the conditions in your orphanage are too difficult, so I'm going to find out and see if I can raise some money to help you improve your quality of life."
At this time, after the rain, the sky was clear, and the sun shone obliquely on Byron's smiling face, making Lu Ling's eyes flash unconsciously.
I don't know why, she felt that Byron was particularly handsome at this moment, and unconsciously echoed on the side: "Yes, my brother is very loving, and there are more than a dozen poor schools he has funded, and you can be considered lucky to meet him this time." “
In order to convince this group of children, Lu Ling desperately made up some deeds that could not have appeared on Byron at all, and what she said was colorful, until finally when she felt that she would be struck by lightning if she continued to talk about it, she stopped her mouth and looked at these children with a smile on her face.
"Wow, I didn't expect this brother to be so powerful, then you come with us, and we will take you to meet our dean's mother, she will definitely like you very much."
The children were simple-minded, and after listening to Lu Ling's description, they laughed and joked that they wanted to take Byron and the others to their orphanage.
"No, the dean's mother said, you can't take people back to the orphanage casually, what if they are bad people? Besides, where can any philanthropist be like this? ”
Compared with the excited appearance of the other children, Li Xue's tone of voice was extremely old-fashioned, and her face was full of vigilance at the moment, obviously not believing what Byron and Lu Ling said just now.
"Li Xue is right, we can't take you to the orphanage, what if you are really bad people?"
The trust of this group of children collapsed instantly because of Li Xue's words, and everyone turned around, ignoring the two of them and preparing to leave.
I can't think of the girl's heart that I inadvertently left before, but there are a lot of eyes, and Lu Ling can't help but appreciate her a little more in her heart.
And Byron heard them say that they were leaving, and directly pointed to the ground on his toes, and a flying body blocked in front of the children: "You have also seen my skills, if you are not obedient, then I will not be polite to you!" ”
As he spoke, Byron's bones clattered, and the little ones were so frightened that they didn't dare to move.
Seeing the children's calves trembling unconsciously, Lu Ling hurriedly stepped forward and whispered comfort: "Don't worry, we won't hurt you, if we really want to do something to you, do you think you can still stand here like this?" ”
They were so frightened at the moment that they didn't dare to speak at all, they just stood there in a proper manner, waiting for Byron and Lu Ling's next move.
After a long stalemate, Li Xue said tentatively: "You really just want to fund our orphanage, and you don't have any other bad ideas?" ”
"Really not, I think you should lead the way, lest the time pass slowly for a while, if it gets dark, the road will not be easy to walk, and if the time is delayed for too long, your dean's mother still has to worry about death?"
From the expressions and tone of speech of these children when they mentioned this so-called dean's mother, Lu Ling could guess that she should be a very kind woman, but the specific details could not be confirmed until she met her.
Regarding Lu Ling's repeated assurances, Li Xue has always been skeptical and unwilling to make a decision for a long time.
"Then come with us!" In the end, it was a boy who took the initiative to speak and led the way.
Because now that these children are together, Byron has been cautious on their way forward.
However, he almost ran into someone who was following them, and for the sake of convenience, Byron deliberately found a tattered dress to wear, and wore a black wig on his head to cover his previous short linen hair.
Since she was a child, Lu Ling has seen Byron in many ways, but it was the first time she had seen him dressed like this, and the corners of her mouth twitched unconsciously at this time.
Several people walked for a while, and suddenly a group of black-clothed people ran over fiercely, Byron hurriedly lowered his head to tie his shoes, and Lu Ling took advantage of the situation to stand behind a tall boy.
The two of them moved calmly and naturally evaded the search of the man in black.
"Sister, it seems that you are very afraid of the gang just now, did you cause some trouble?" Li Xue blinked her big watery eyes and looked at Lu Ling curiously, her face full of concern.
"Haha, little Xue'er, your imagination is really rich, how can we cause any trouble? You see those people wearing black clothes, they don't look like good people, so we deliberately avoid them. ”
In the face of Li Xue's inquiry, Lu Ling only felt a little incredible, but she didn't expect that such a small person as her could be so keenly aware of their actions just now.
Fortunately, although Li Xue didn't believe it, she didn't continue to ask more questions in the end.
As the children fought along the way, several people finally arrived at the orphanage.
The gate of the orphanage looks very old, and the walls are relatively mottled, but even if it is extremely ruined, Lu Ling can still imagine its former glory.
Byron, standing in front of the gate of the orphanage, had deep eyes and an unpredictable expression on his face, making it impossible to guess what he was thinking at the moment.
The few people only stayed at the gate of the orphanage for a short time, and then they were noisily pulled closer to the orphanage by the group of children.
With the noise of the children, a woman in her thirties came out of it, her skin was fair and pink, her posture was abrupt, and she had a unique charm when she walked.
She slowly walked to the two of them, and asked with a puzzled expression: "What are the two of you?" ”
Li Jun immediately smiled and explained to the woman: "Mother Dean, this is the brother and sister we met today when we were sheltering from the rain in a dilapidated hut, they were kind to us, and he also said that he would contribute money to fund our orphanage. ”
"Oh? Is it? I don't know where you two came from? "Compared with the children's lack of scheming, this dean is naturally not so easy to fool.
And Lu Ling was slightly stunned when she saw such a young and beautiful orphanage director, and she thought that the children's director should be an elderly aunt.
"There's no need for the dean to know where we're from, right? We're just going to take a look at the situation here, and someone will naturally contact you later. ”
Byron just said it casually before, but he didn't expect these children to be so concerned, which shows that they really hope that the conditions here will be improved, as long as they can live here safely, even if they give them a sum of money.
It's just that now Byron doesn't want to give them too much material help, and he decides to look at it for a while before making a decision.
However, I'm afraid that this place is still the same as before, so things can be ......
The director of the orphanage was a little embarrassed by Byron's words, and after a long pause, he had to smile dryly: "There are many empty rooms in the orphanage, you can choose two at will, my name is Huang Yan, you can just call me if you have anything." ”
After speaking, Huang Yan turned around and left directly, as if there was something important to be busy with.
After the children returned to the orphanage, they were very happy, so they ignored Byron and Lu Ling, and dispersed directly.
For some reason, Lu Ling felt that Byron's face looked a little melancholy at this moment, and his brows were tightly furrowed, as if he remembered something that made him sad.
"Let's go and choose a room first, the medicine that Wang Fang gave us before has run out, and I'll be trying to get you some medicine to treat the wound in a while." In the face of such Byron, Lu Ling deliberately lightened her tone.
But he didn't answer, just walked into a room by himself, sat down on a small bed, and looked out the window in a daze.
Byron rarely showed such a state, and Lu Ling knew that he must have something on his mind, so he didn't continue to bother him, but sneaked into the pharmacy of the orphanage and found some medicine for Byron.
When taking the medicine, Byron was still pensive, and didn't seem to mean to talk to Lu Ling.
Seeing this, Lu Ling didn't bother him too much, but let him sit motionless on the bed.
As night fell, Byron seemed to be too tired, and finally lay down in bed, closed his eyes and rested.
Looking at Byron's quiet side face, the corners of Lu Ling's mouth turned up slightly, and finally lay on the bed directly with his back to him.
When she was in a daze, Lu Ling suddenly heard Byron's shout, which made her quickly get up from the bed.
Only then did I find that Byron was closing his eyes, kicking and beating with his hands and feet, and there were bursts of anger coming out of his mouth.
Lu Ling hurriedly stepped forward and shook Byron's body, and kept shouting: "Brother, wake up quickly, you have a nightmare!" ”
With the help of Lu Ling, Byron finally got rid of the nightmare, but his face was covered with sweat, and there were even tears in the corners of his eyes.
"Brother, what's wrong with you?" Lu Ling couldn't say how distressed she was at the moment, she just knelt on the edge of the bed and looked at Byron motionlessly.
"I'm fine, I just dreamed about some things from before, do you want to hear my old stories?" Byron sat up straight and whispered to Deerling.
