Chapter 331: Sad Past
Wei Yi and the children laughed for a while before stopping. Looking at the embarrassed appearance of the bear child, an inexplicable sense of pity suddenly rose in Wei Yi's heart.
Where are the child's parents? Why do you do such a thing? Why are there so many children here? Wouldn't the families of these children be in a hurry? and so on, and suddenly came to Wei Yi's mind together.
Wei Yi walked over slowly, patted the child's shoulder, and asked with a smile, "What's wrong?" This little smell smokes you like this? ”
The boy scratched his hair in embarrassment, but immediately shook his hand in disgust. yes, where can he be comfortable with the dirty things on his head and face? Wei Yi suddenly felt that he was a little too different. Such a trick on this young child.
He looked at the children beside him who were also in rags, his mind changed quickly, he asked about the location of the bath, and then rushed to the bath with the group of children.
The matter of taking a bath is not big, but it is also said that it is not small. "My mom used to urge me to take a shower every day." The bear child confided in Wei Yi while washing.
Through Wei Yi's efforts, it only took a short time to release his suspicions with this bear child and become good friends. There seem to be a lot of stories about the bear children. From time to time, he would talk to Wei Yi about the past.
But what he had in his mouth was always "before", but he never mentioned "now", which made Wei Mi slightly surprised at the same time, and his heart couldn't help sinking. It seems that these children have experienced far more than he thought.
Wei Yi couldn't help but wonder, what kind of situation caused such a situation? Before he came to Aoyama, he had heard that this city was one of the few cities that had been occupied by the rebels without a large-scale battle. In such a city, the safety of ordinary citizens should not be too bad.
But what Wei Yi learned from the mouth of the bear child was very different. Not only has it experienced terrible bloodshed, but it has also experienced a long period of curfew. In this way, the state of the city is far worse than what it claims to be.
"What about your parents?" Wei Yi finally asked the question he had been wanting to ask.
When the bear child heard Wei Yi's question, he immediately fell silent. He let the water from the bath jet wash him from top to bottom, but he didn't speak for a long time.
Wei Yi immediately knew that he had asked something he shouldn't have asked. He hurriedly spoke, trying to get the question to light. But just when Wei Yi wanted to speak, the bear child slowly spoke: "They don't want me anymore." ”
"Don't want you anymore?" The bear child's answer immediately surprised Wei Yi. He originally thought that the parents of the bear child might have been killed, or there was an accident, in short, he never thought that there would be parents who did not want their children to happen.
"Hmm." The bear child nodded, and continued with a little sadness, "They locked me in the house and went out on their own, and I waited for them at home for a long, long time, and they never came back. They must not want me anymore. ”
When Wei Yi heard this, his nose suddenly soured. He put his arms around the bear child, patted the child gently on the back, and comforted him slowly for a while, so that the bear child's mood stabilized.
The parents of the bear child were most likely killed. This was Wei Mi's first feeling. No parent would lock their children in their home for no reason. The only possibility for them to do so is to protect the bear child from the dangers of the outside world.
But a child's thinking is extremely simple. They can't guess such a profound content, and they won't understand the parents' sincere love for protecting their children. But they can't be blamed, not the slightest.
Thinking like this, Wei Yi continued to ask slowly, "What's the matter with those children?" What were you going to do when you stole my wallet? ”
The bear child looked at Wei Yi with some embarrassment, and then said slowly: "We don't have any money, so, so..."
Halfway through his speech, he couldn't go on. Wei Yi only thought about it slightly, and suddenly understood. Needless to say, those children, like this bear child, are all orphans who have lost their parents and relatives. In these troubled times, they are helpless. There is neither income nor relief, and there is really no other way but to die.
"You're their chief, aren't you?" Wei Yi asked.
The bear child nodded, and his eyes suddenly became firm. "I'm older than them, and I'm going to take care of them," he said. ”
At this moment, Wei Yi suddenly remembered Lin Hai. That kid once said the same thing to Wei Yi. Wei Yi still remembers the scene where Lin Hai used his thin body to protect several children behind him.
Thinking of this, Wei Yi's heart softened again. He touched the bear child's head and asked, "What's your name?" ”
"Lin Zhinan." The bear child replied. When Wei Yi heard this, he was stunned for a moment. This seems to be a bit too coincidental. Lin Hai's surname is Lin, and this bear child is also surnamed Lin, and these two people have been separated by more than a hundred years, this coincidence suddenly made Wei Yi feel a very wonderful feeling in his heart.
"They can't be relatives." Wei Yi secretly guessed. But this kind of thought was only fleeting, and Wei Yi didn't take it seriously. In this place of China, there are too many people with the same surname. Even if there are people with the same name, there are too many to count.
If someone shouts someone's name loudly in the street, it must not be just the person who was called to him. There must be many more people with the same name and surname, responding at the same time. This kind of thing, Wei Yi has not encountered before.
When he thought of this, the bad taste in his heart suddenly began to play tricks again. "I'll discuss something with you, do you think it's okay?" Wei Yi suddenly discussed with the bear child.
The bear child was slightly surprised, nodded, and responded, asking Wei Yi to speak up. The corners of Wei Yi's mouth curled slightly, and said: "In the future, if you have a child, or if your child has a child, you will let one of them be called Lin Hai, do you think it will work?" ”
When the bear child heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and nodded half-understanding and half-understanding. Wei Yi was just joking like this, but he didn't take it seriously. But what he didn't know was that a child's mind was extremely simple. Although the bear child didn't understand what Wei Yi meant, he still remembered the incident firmly and honestly fulfilled his promise.
One day many years later, a baby boy named Lin Hai was born in a family surnamed Lin. And when the baby boy grew up, he met Wei Yi, who had a bad taste and came up with such an idea. Then, this boy named Lin Hai followed his benefactor, Wei Yi, to this world more than 100 years ago.
And all this, Wei Yi has no way of knowing. At this time, he just had a bad taste and came up with such a funny thing. But when he said it, he quickly forgot about it. Who can remember those unintentional words that they said casually? This is not just Wei Yi, but any person.
After talking to the bear child for a while, Wei Yi left the bath first. He gave the bath owner a large piece of hard currency and wrapped up the entire bath. He instructed the owner of the bath to prepare some food and water for the children, so that the children who had not eaten for a long time could have a good meal.
And ask the bath owner to buy the children a suitable new outfit for each of them. It is best to have ready-made ones, and if you don't have them, then order a few sets. He believed that the price he gave was enough for the bath owner to pay for all the expenses.
The owner of the bath accepted the money, and naturally happily followed Wei Yi's instructions to buy it. For a small bath like his, even if it is open for half a year, it is difficult to receive such a large piece of hard currency. The current market value of this thing is enough to buy his entire store.
But this strange guest just asked him to prepare something to eat for those little Hanako, how could he not be happy to accept such a deal? The owner of the bath immediately closed the shop, refused to accept customers, and concentrated on supporting the few little Hanako in the store.
After settling the children for the time being, Wei Yi left the bath and went out into the street to find the map he wanted. This kind of thing is what Wei Yi is most in short supply. He had to get his hands on it as soon as possible to get acquainted with the local situation.
Although the technology is very advanced now, you can view all the maps of Aoyama City on the Internet. But there are pros and cons. Wei Yi didn't want his actions to be accidentally leaked out. Just from the fact that it was not easy to buy a map of Qingshan City, Wei Yi could guess that the control of information here was far stricter than he could have imagined.
Wei Yi's idea is indeed not wrong. If he really chooses to look up on the Internet, it will really reveal his plan of action immediately. In Aoyama City, there is a team dedicated to network supervision. This mysterious team, with a tight control of information, makes it easy for the rebels to find anyone who wants to resist. This is one of the reasons why Aoyama City, despite its declining decline, has not been able to effectively organize a revolt.
Wei Yi naturally had no idea about these situations. He was now walking the streets of Aoyama City, browsing every shop that seemed to buy a map. But he walked around for a long time, but he still found nothing.
The shops in downtown Aoyama look full of products and are very well decorated. But I don't know why, the people in every shop are sparse. Very few people enter the store to buy items, and even a few people who occasionally enter are quickly and hurriedly gone.
The pedestrians on the road are even more sneaky, and no one will say a word to anyone. The whole street is often quiet, as if it were empty. But in reality, the streets are crowded with people coming and going. It's just that everyone seems to have some scruples, and they all remain silent.
The whole city looks like a ghost town, which is very eerie. And such a strange scene, Wei Yi is not the first time to see it.
He had noticed this strange situation even before. It's just that at that time, he was so engrossed in finding the map that he didn't pay too much attention. And after the incident of the bear child, Wei Yi paid more or less attention to the outside world. With this attention, he noticed this strange situation.
Wei Yi was puzzled by this. He grabbed a hurried pedestrian and asked what was going on. Unbeknownst to him, Wei Yi's opening immediately attracted the attention of countless people.
Wei Yi looked around suspiciously, and when he was wondering, there were several big men in ordinary clothes who quickly surrounded Wei Yi.
