051 The most valuable medical expenses
The orphanage is located on the edge of the village, where the streets are completely incomparable to the main streets in the village, and the houses and surrounding facilities are very old. Like the slums, this is a forgotten place.
Hinata Kei didn't walk fast on crutches, he sensed his surroundings and asked, "Kakashi, do you usually come to these places?" ”
Kakashi was silent for a moment when he heard this, shook his head and said, "I came here when I was on a mission, but I didn't come when I usually said. ”
"You can come back more often in the future." Hinata Kei said, "Although this place is old and dilapidated, it is the purest place. ”
Kakashi didn't speak, and Hinata Kai wasn't in a hurry, and led him into the orphanage.
As soon as he entered the courtyard, Hinata Kei changed into a gentle smile. Somewhat different from the usual smile, this gentleness is more pure.
In fact, there have been many studies on adults and children in psychology. Studies have shown that children tend to be more sensitive than adults in many of the same situations. They can clearly perceive the good and bad, sincere and insincere of people.
This is especially true for children who have to mature when they are not wealthy. They can really tell from your words and deeds whether you are sincere or false to him.
So in such a place, Hinata Kai didn't want to pretend to be anything, he didn't come here to have any plans against the orphanage, so he was naturally sincere.
In the orphanage, when the children saw someone coming, they suddenly quieted down. Especially when they saw the forehead guards of the two ninjas, there was a hint of yearning and hidden fear in their eyes.
This kind of contradictory and natural emotion, Hinata Kai naturally knows what's going on. When Kakashi on the side saw it, he felt a little uncomfortable.
He originally thought that he and Hinata Kai came to the door with gifts, and the children in the orphanage should welcome them very much. But now, it seems, is not what he thought.
"Let's go, Kakashi." Hinata Kei said, "Let's go visit the dean here first. ”
Kakashi suppressed the doubts in his heart and followed Hinata Kai into the back room, where he soon saw a middle-aged woman.
Hinata Kai took the gift bag from Kakashi's hand and went straight up to talk to her. After explaining the intention, it was obvious that the middle-aged woman had a sense of relief.
A few minutes later, Hinata Kei knew the general situation of the orphanage, and knew that the middle-aged woman named Reina was only the acting director, and the real director had been away from the village for a long time.
With Reina's consent, Hinata Kai began to distribute the gifts he had brought to the children. He didn't rush to ask anything, nor did he say anything to try to treat him.
Hinata Kai just used food to get acquainted with the children first, and then naturally integrated into them and began to play games with them.
It's just right for a child.,For a game that should be a little childish at Hinata's age.,Hinata-kai played it with relish.。
Half an hour passed, and Hinata Kai had completely integrated into the children's team; An hour has passed, and Hinata Kai has become the king of children; For two hours, Hinata Kai had been completely entangled by this group of children.
After a set of procedures, the whole morning passed like this, and Hinata Kei still didn't mention diagnosis and treatment at all.
Kakashi was a little incredulous about the affinity shown by Hinata Kei. He also tried to fit in, but didn't know what to do.
At noon, Hinata Kei asked Kakashi to buy some fine lunches, and after having lunch with the children, Kakashi was approved by the children.
Although Kakashi himself was a little awkward, after all, he had never experienced anything like this, but it was clear that he was actually happy.
It wasn't until the afternoon that Hinata Kai began to ask questions while playing, and began to secretly diagnose and treat the children. It was late in the evening.
In the open space of the orphanage, Hinata Kei and Kakashi sit on stones, and in front of them are children chasing each other in the setting sun.
Kakashi looked at this scene and finally couldn't help it, and said, "Seeing their happy faces, I feel like I'm in a better mood." ”
"Of course, you have to know that any emotion is something that can be transmitted." Hinata Kei said.
At this time, the acting dean Reina walked over, and she said gratefully, "Dr. Qi, thank you so much for being able to come and enlighten the children. It's been a long time since the children have been so happy, and since Dean Nonoyu left, ......"
"Can I know why Dean Nonoyu chose to leave?" Hinata Kai asked, he actually knew the reason, so the words were not for him.
Reina hesitated for a moment, thinking of everything that happened today, she said, "Because of the supplies." The superintendent said that only when she left the village could the orphanage get enough supplies for the children to survive. ”
"I remember that the materials of the orphanage were not distributed in the village according to the amount, how could it be affected by the dean's stay?" Kakashi frowned.
Hinata Kai interrupted Kakashi and said, "This is an orphanage, a place forgotten by the public. Someone wants to use dirty means to achieve his ends, it is simply easy. ”
Kakashi fell silent, apparently not so calm.
Hinata Kai turned in the direction where Reina was and continued to ask, "Where will the children go when they grow up?" Do they go to school? ”
Reina was even more hesitant, but seeing Hinata Kai's smile, she still said, "Children will be tested when they reach a certain age." Qualified children are picked out, and only a very small number have the possibility of going to school. ”
After a pause, she said, "I also don't know exactly what they're picked out for. But after the children were picked up, few were able to come back. ”
Kakashi was even more silent, and Hinata Kei continued to ask, "Are these things voluntary for the children?" ”
"How is that possible?" Reina shook her head and said, "But what can we do?" I can only try to hope that those people can treat the children well. ”
Hinata Kai nodded and didn't ask again.
Reina suddenly made up her mind, and she said pleadingly, "Doctor Kai, I know that my next words may be a bit excessive, but I hope you will be able to grant my request. ”
"Please, don't be so polite."
Reina said, "I hope that you will be able to come to the orphanage in the future to provide free medical treatment for the children." I've never seen the children so happy since the dean left. ”
"You're a great psychiatrist, and you're able to enlighten kids on a psychological level that I can't do."
"It's just that you also know the situation in the orphanage, I'm afraid I can't afford to pay for your medical treatment."
Reina's sincere and pure emotions are evident at this moment, and the plea on her face is a mother's love for all the children in the orphanage.
Hinata shook her head when she heard this, which made her a little desperate, "Sure enough, my request is still too much." How dare I expect someone like you to come all the time. ”
"You misunderstood, I shook my head not to disagree with your request." Hinata Kei looked serious and said, "I mean, you said something wrong. It's not that the orphanage can't afford my medical expenses, but you can. ”
"However, the orphanage does not have enough funds ......"
"The orphanage gave me something more important than money."
Hinata Kei pointed to the children playing in the clearing, and said, "The children have already given me their most precious smiles, haven't they?" ”
"So, from today onwards, I'll protect this smile!"
"In the future, I will come to visit the children from time to time and enlighten them about their worries. In addition, you can bring your children to the clinic at any time, and I will help as much as I can. ”
Reina was so excited that she thanked her and told the children the news. Suddenly, even from a distance of more than ten meters, their cheers could be heard.
Kakashi's eyes were fixed on Hinata Kei, trying to see something on his face full of warm smiles.
"Do you really think that children's smiles are more important than money?" Kakashi was a little suspicious, and he said, "I've heard that you charge a lot of money for patients at the clinic. ”
Hinata Kei said: "Everyone has his different values. You've only heard that my medical fees are expensive for ninjas, but you don't know that I charge very little for treating civilians. ”
"Kakashi, no matter what you think of me. It doesn't matter if you think I'm a hypocrite or something else. ”
"Because I have a clear conscience. For these children, I am willing to just take their smiles and treat them. ”
Kakashi didn't say anything more, his head bowed slightly, not knowing what he was thinking.
Hinata Kei said, "Kakashi, can I ask you a question?" I hope you can answer truthfully. ”
"What's the problem?" Kakashi hesitated for a moment, choosing to agree.
He was actually a little afraid that Hinata Kai would ask him questions, because the last time he was in the middle of one question after another, and he ended up crying.
He really didn't want to experience this feeling again, especially in front of Hinata Kei.
But for some reason, there was always a thought in his mind that made him want to figure it out. So when the ghost sent him, he still agreed.
Hinata Kei sat down and asked, "In your opinion, the stability and prosperity of the village trump everything, right?" The will of fire is your belief and the driving force behind what you hold onto. ”
"Not bad." "The village is our common home, and it is my duty to protect it, and I am willing to give everything," Kakashi said. ”
"I agree with that." Hinata Kai stood up, looked down at Kakashi, and asked, "It's just that you know why the first lord founded Konoha?" What was his original intention in establishing the village? ”
Kakashi was lost in thought when he heard this, and he always felt that Hinata Kei had set a trap for him in his words, just like the previous time.
After carefully considering what he wanted to say and confirming that the content was okay, Kakashi said, "The first lord established the ninja village so that the war would disappear and everyone could live together peacefully. ”
"That's right, that's the wish of the first adult." Hinata Kei first agreed, and then said, "But there is another point, you didn't say. ”
"Which point? The philosophy of the first generation of adults was taught by the school, and I can't be mistaken. ”
Hinata Kai smiled and said, "Don't get excited, listen to what I have to say first." Then think about whether I have a point. ”
Kakashi nodded and listened intently.
Hinata Kai said: "Actually, the first generation of adults established the ninja village, except for what you said. In my opinion, the most important and purest point is to protect children. ”
"The will of fire of the first adult is actually very simple. He hopes that the older generation will protect the new generation and let the new leaves sprout and grow. ”
Hinata Kei tilted his head and asked, "Do you think my interpretation of the Will of Fire makes sense?" ”
Kakashi took a deep breath and nodded. Although he was a little hesitant about some of Hinata Kai's views, he couldn't find fault with these words.
Sensing Kakashi's agreement, Hinata revealed a strange look and said, "Then the question is, why is the new generation in the village so difficult now?" Could it be that the children in the orphanage are not part of the village? ”
"Of course." Kakashi naturally couldn't deny it, he hesitated for a moment and said, "It's just, could there be something wrong with some things......
Halfway through speaking, Kakashi couldn't say anything more when he thought of the precautions and vigilance he had seen the children when he first came to the orphanage.
"Looks like you already have the answer." Hinata sneered, saying, "Even though your mouth is as hard as a fool I know. ”
"But it doesn't matter. You can continue to insist on your ideas for the betterment of the village, or you can continue to watch the children go through what they are going through. ”
"You can lie to me, it's your right. The mouth grows on you, and I will never be able to make a choice for you. ”
Hinata pointed at Kakashi's heart, and he said, "But, can you lie to your own heart?" ”
"You who know the truth, you who have seen all this. Is your conscience passable? ”
"Is everything you want to protect now consistent with what you know?"
Without waiting for Kakashi to answer, Hinata Kei pointed to the outside of the orphanage and said, "This seemingly prosperous scene is made up of countless corpses and bones. The saddest thing is that the bones are from the children who are supposed to be protected. ”
Faced with Hinata's repeated words, Kakashi didn't know what to say. He felt like he was sitting here, a little ashamed.
What happened today, seen from the orphanage, heard from the middle-aged woman. Once again, it was beyond his expectations.
He thought that Hinata Kai would give him something big and continue to trick him into revenge. But Hinata Kei didn't mention these two words from beginning to end, and just brought him to the orphanage.
Then, he saw it all, everything he hadn't noticed. It turned out to be a prosperous village, and someone has been corrupting it with darkness.
Judging by the vigilance and fear that the children showed at the beginning, I am afraid that this has been the case for a long time. But no one ever paid attention.
Are they not aware? Or is it a tacit acquiescence to all this? Kakashi's heart trembled, he didn't dare to think about it anymore.
Sensing Kakashi's struggle, Hinata Kei said, "Kakashi, I'm still the same as last time, you don't have to rush to give me an answer. ”
"I said it, anyway. You and I are here to make the village a better place, and you can't be wrong with that. ”
Hinata Kei stopped here and didn't continue to say anything more to Kakashi. He was going to let Kakashi slow down a little and wait for a big one.
Hinata walked to the open space in front of him on crutches, played with the mud with the children, and taught them to make various shapes with mud.
Kakashi stayed where he was, his thoughts in a jumbled mess, and he couldn't figure it out.
I don't know why, but he thinks that this visit to Hinata Kei's assistant is likely to be a mistake. This mistake is likely to lead him into the abyss.
Leave now if you still have a chance? Kakashi had the idea of leaving quickly. But looking at the children full of joy in front of me, I couldn't move my feet.
