Chapter 47: The Birthday Dinner
Wen Seng Yu was a little surprised, it turned out that they had been on the back mountain for so long.
"Okay~ People are just a little tired, let's rest here, please help Mother Liu arrange the room for us~" Wan Qian said mischievously, as if he had never experienced those things just now.
Liu Ping took them to the guest room on the second floor, which was the same as the children's room, it was also separate for men and women, Wan Qian and Zhou Shiya were divided into one room, and Wen Seng Yu and the four men were divided into two rooms opposite.
"You guys have a good rest first, and I'll call you after the lunch break." Liu Ping took them to the room and left, taking the cake.
Wen Seng Yu and Xiao Xiaobin were separated, and the two sat on the bed and looked at each other.
"What the hell just happened? Aren't these two Liu Ping alone? Why is the attitude so different. Wen Seng Yu asked curiously.
Xiao Xiaobin also frowned and shook his head and said, "I don't understand either, but it shouldn't be a person, or is it that this orphanage has a protection mechanism, and there is no way to show its original form in it?" ”
Although Xiao Xiaobin's words sound ridiculous, they are not unreasonable.
The clock in the room pointed to 2 p.m., and the lunch break "curfew" began.
The mysteries of the orphanage are getting more and more, which makes Wen Shengyu upset, he is not in the mood to really rest at this time, but his body tells him that he is very tired.
Wen Seng Yu tilted his head to look at Xiao Xiaobin, who was also not asleep, his eyes staring straight at the ceiling.
"Can't you sleep too?" Wen Shengyu asked.
"Well, there are so many mysteries that need to be solved, and I don't have a clue right now." Xiao Xiaobin thought the same as he thought.
"What do you think they're doing with this lunch break? We haven't caught a single resident and asked what the hell is going on. Wen Shengyu said.
"It must have something to do with this orphanage." Xiao Xiaobin's eyes were still fixed on the ceiling. "After what happened in the cave just now, I think that the children in the orphanage may have been raised from the soil, of course, this is just a guess on my part."
Wen Seng Yu was silent after hearing this, because he had also thought about the same problem and had the same guess.
But if you want to solve this secret, you can only find a way to go into the "delivery room" and have a look.
"I thought so too, but did you hear the cries of the children on the street during your lunch break before?" Wen Shengyu asked Xiao Xiaobin.
"I heard it, and I opened the curtains to see and found nothing." Xiao Xiaobin replied. "But then didn't he just go straight into the room?"
"What does that kid look like?" Wen Shengyu suddenly thought of this question.
"A rotten face with a few bugs on it." Xiao Xiaobin said.
According to his description, the child Xiao Xiaobin saw should be the same person as Wen Shengyu, but why are there so many children's voices on the street during the lunch break?
There is another question that also bothers Wen Shengyu, that is, if the lunch break is just to screen the next survivors, then what is the purpose of this lunch break?
Wen Shengyu's brain was running rapidly, and he didn't notice the change by the window.
"Knock knock!" A small hand was trying to tap on the window.
"Big brothers, can I come in?" A childish voice came from outside the window, but Wen Shengyu didn't pay attention at all.
"Wen Seng Yu, Wen Seng Yu!" Xiao Xiaobin pushed him before he woke him up from his thoughts.
Wen Seng Yu glanced at Xiao Xiaobin, who pushed him, and then asked curiously, "What's wrong?" ”
Xiao Xiaobin pointed out the window and said, "Didn't you hear?" ”
"Hear what?" Wen Seng Yu was even more curious.
"Someone knocked on the window just now, and asked if they could come in." Xiao Xiaobin said.
"Big brothers, can I come in?" The childish voice sounded outside the window again.
This time Wen Shengyu heard it, this voice is actually very familiar, it should be the little boy.
Wen Seng Yu glanced at Xiao Xiaobin, then nodded, and said out the window, "Come in, little friend." ”
Although Wen Seng Yu was ready, the moment the little boy came in, his rotten face still made Wen Seng Yu very uncomfortable, so Wen Seng Yu didn't look at his face.
"What's wrong... Can I help you. Wen Seng Yu asked with a little weakness, he glanced at Xiao Xiaobin with his spare eyes, but he kept looking at the little boy very calmly.
"Did you help me find my mother?" The little boy said in a childish voice, which was still cute if you didn't look at his face.
Wen Seng Yu strengthened his heart this time, then looked at the little boy's eyes, and said very sincerely: "Not yet, give the big brothers some more time, didn't you say before the good selection day." ”
"Okay, then I'll come back to you tomorrow." After saying this, the little boy was about to leave, but was stopped by Wen Shengyu.
"Child, what's your name, I didn't ask you before, and what is your mother's name?" Wen Shengyu asked.
"My name is Peng Peng, I don't know what my mother's name is, but she has beautiful hair and smiles very gently." The boy replied.
"When was the last time you saw your mother?" Wen Shengyu didn't know why he asked this question.
The little boy was silent for a while, probably thinking, and then he raised his head and said to Wen Shengyu: "I remember that there were many candles, there were other children, everyone was very happy, and they kept singing. ”
There are a lot of candles, and everyone is happy, so shouldn't it be on a birthday?
When Wen Shengyu wanted to ask something more, the little boy disappeared.
He looked at the time on the wall, and it was already 5 o'clock.
"I finally know what you meant last time you said that time flies, it seems that after reaching a certain stage of the goal, time will automatically jump." Xiao Xiaobin also looked at the clock on the wall and said.
After the lunch break, Wen and Seng Yu came to Bian Han's room first, and after a brief inquiry about the situation, they found that they had also obtained some important information.
Now they know the following: 1. The little boy died on his birthday. 2. The little boy's name is Peng Peng. 3. The little boy's mother has beautiful hair. 4. The little boy has no father.
With the above clues, the four of them met Wan Qian and Zhou Shiya who were going downstairs in the hall.
After continuing to exchange clues, Wen Seng Yu found that Wan Qian also learned an important information from there, that is, the little boy had many brothers and sisters.
After thinking about it, they targeted Liu Ping, because now she and her orphanage best fit the description of the little boy.
"Isn't it just a birthday party tonight, it just so happens that Liu Ping invited us to join us, let's see what happens." Wan Qian said during the discussion.
But they ignore the fact that it's not just them who are invited, but everyone who remains.
By 7:50 p.m., 36 people had gathered in the hall of the orphanage.
As the clock pointed to 8 o'clock, the door of the orphanage slowly closed, and on the hour, Liu Ping also walked out of the elevator wearing a gorgeous dress.
"Everyone is welcome to attend the children's birthday dinner, there are a total of 3 children celebrating their birthdays today." Liu Ping clapped her hands after saying this. "Let's go out and greet the guests."
I saw two boys and a girl coming down the stairs on both sides, they looked at the adults present shyly, and then whispered, "Uncles and aunts, everyone is welcome to celebrate our birthday, let's take everyone to the restaurant for dinner." ”
After saying this, several children clearly divided the large army into two teams and climbed from the stairs on the left and right sides to the third floor.
After coming to the 3rd floor, Wen Shengyu saw a huge banquet hall, which was very incompatible with the decoration of the entire orphanage, as if it was renovated later.
Roman chandeliers, Italian wallpaper, Chinese lanterns, Japanese tatami mats, the entire restaurant is presented by a mix of various decoration styles.
After entering the dining room, Wen Shengyu found that the other children in the orphanage had already taken their seats, but they were all sitting quietly, watching curiously as the adults took their seats in turn.
"You're welcome, just sit down, and our dinner will begin soon."
After saying this, the children at the scene finally let out cheers and turned into a seemingly normal group of children.
Wen Seng Yu and the others chose to sit in a row to facilitate communication, but as soon as they sat down, he noticed that something was wrong.
He noticed that everyone except the child had two identical cups in front of them, and the liquid in them was the same.
"Knock~" As a crisp bell rang, the waiters from nowhere began to serve the dishes in turn, everyone was very cautious, and no one moved the chopsticks first.
After all the dishes were served, Liu Ping also picked up the cake she bought from under the table.
It's a three-tiered cake, and although it's huge, it's certainly not big enough for so many people present.
"Before eating, let me tell you one thing, I believe someone has already found the two glasses in front of you, they look the same, but in fact they are very different, because one of them is poison, and if you drink it, you will die." After Liu Ping said this, there was a lot of discussion in the audience, but no one protested to her.
Liu Ping glanced at everyone at the scene, seeing that no one asked her questions, she continued: "Of course, these two glasses of water are not necessarily for you to drink, but if anyone wants to try, there will be unexpected surprises." ”
After Liu Ping said this, there was a boiling in the audience, and everyone discussed it louder, it seemed that some people were eager to try, but more people were waiting for other people's reactions.
"Oh yes, except for one person." Liu Ping pointed at a rough man.
Wen Seng Yu recognized this man at a glance, he was the person who had a verbal altercation with the front desk staff at the door of the hotel before.
The rough man immediately stood up from his seat, slapped the table and scolded Liu Ping: "I'll fuck you, why should Lao Tzu drink this poisonous water?" ”
"Because your evaluation in the commercial street is not good, this is a decision that everyone discussed together." Liu Ping said calmly.
At this time, the children in the seats also began to heckle, they beat the dishes with their chopsticks, and then shouted in unison, "Drink it!" Drink it! Drink it! ”
Seeing this, the man became even more angry and yelled, "What can I do if I don't drink it?!" ”
Liu Ping still said calmly: "Then you can withdraw from this dinner, but I think you may lose your life the moment you walk out of this door." ”
The rough man asked a little panicked, "Why?" ”
"Because people who are kicked out of the birthday dinner have always been a dead end, and they can't even walk to the shopping street." Liu Ping patiently replied.
Hearing this, the man was a little stunned, he was not a bold person, he just liked to have a mouthful of addiction, the man glanced at the two glasses of wine on the table, and then his voice was obviously trembling and said: "Choose it!" Who's afraid of whom! Half the chance anyway! ”
Although his voice trembled, he still shouted this sentence loudly, probably trying to embolden himself.
The man picked up the glass of water on his right hand and drank it down.
"Hahahahaha! Lao Tzu said it's okay! Lao Tzu is fateful. The rough man looked proud, but there was a lot of sweat on his forehead.
Liu Ping stood without saying a word, but looked at the man with a slight smile on her face.
Thirty seconds after the man said this, the originally noisy children suddenly fell silent, everyone put their hands on their laps, and everyone looked ahead and said nothing, as if waiting for something.
At this moment, a trace of blood was left in the man's nose, he wiped his nose with his hand, and the moment he saw the blood, his expression froze, and then the corners of his eyes, mouth, and ears left blood, and his expression turned from joy to pain.
In an instant, the man fell to the ground.
