Chapter 336: The Secret of the Orphanage
After that, I bowed deeply to Sister Sun: "Sister Sun, you are really a living bodhisattva, you told me such important information, I don't even know how to repay you." ”
"Mr. Cheng, if you really want to repay me, take me away!"
Sister Sun glanced at me and said with some embarrassment.
"Huh?"
I was stunned: "Didn't you just say that you signed a contract when you joined the orphanage and can't leave here?" ”
"I did sign the contract, but haven't you signed it yet?"
Sister Sun said: "The contract signed by all of us is in the archive room on the second floor, because after signing the contract, we can't get close to the archives, so I want to ask Mr. Cheng to help, sneak into the archives, find the contract, and cross out my name, so that I can regain my freedom!" ”
I had long expected that this sister would not tell me so much information for no reason, it turned out that she was also trying to use me to escape.
"Don't worry, Sister Sun, you have helped me so much, I will definitely help you cross out the name on the contract!"
I looked at Sister Sun and said with an oath.
"Also, those children are also poor people, trapped here, they can only be food for monsters, I plan to escape here with the children then, what do you think?"
The purpose of my visit this time is to find the ghost mother's child, and of course I can't leave the orphanage at will until I find the target.
So I pretended to have a sense of justice and wanted to save those orphans as well.
"Huh? And save those orphans......"
Sister Sun seemed a little surprised, but soon she put on a smiling face: "Mr. Cheng is really a good person, those children are indeed poor people, so take them with you!" ”
"Hmm!"
I nodded heavily: "Sister Sun, as the dormitory manager, you should know those orphans very well, how long has that boy named Xiaohu joined the orphanage, I think he is older than other children?" ”
I wanted to take the opportunity to learn some information about those orphans, so I asked Sister Sun.
"Oh, you said Lei Xiaohu, he and Zhou Xiaomei came together, they didn't come for a long time, according to the time, if the monster reappears, it should eat them, you and Xiaohei arrived, it can be regarded as helping them."
"Zhou Xiaomei? Do you mean the girl who has been holding hands with him all the time? ”
I asked.
"That's right, these two children have always been inseparable, I originally thought they were brother and sister, but later I found out that they also met outside and came together."
It seems that these two children are really different from the children who stayed in the orphanage early in the morning, they joined later, and that Zhou Xiaomei is likely to be the child of the ghost mother!
"Sister Sun, you can help me write a list, and when the time comes, I will cross out the names of you and those children, and as for Teacher Wang and the others, let them stay and fend for themselves!"
"Okay, I'll write it right away!"
Sister Sun took out a pen from her pocket, took out a piece of paper, quickly wrote down more than a dozen names, and handed them to me.
"After class, Mr. Wang will go outside with Zhang's mother to find some wild vegetables and game, which usually takes one to two hours, which is the best time for you to do it!"
"Okay, I know, Sister Sun, don't worry!"
I took the piece of paper and said in a deep voice.
"Well, Mr. Cheng, it's up to you to do the rest!"
Sister Sun didn't say anything more, pushed open the dormitory door, and quietly walked out.
After a while, when it was time for the end of class, the orphans continued to stay in the classroom for self-study, while Teacher Wang pushed open the classroom door and walked out.
"Mr. Cheng, are you there?"
After a while, Mr. Wang's voice came from outside the door.
I hurriedly stepped forward, opened the dormitory door, and said with a smile, "Teacher Wang, is there anything wrong with you?" ”
Teacher Wang glanced around my dormitory, and then said, "I'm going to go outside with Zhang's mother to prepare some food, you can stay at ease first, there are many wild beasts outside, it's more dangerous, it's best not to run around." ”
"Okay Teacher Wang, Xiao Hei and I are staying in the dormitory and not going anywhere."
I said with all sincerity.
"Hmm."
Teacher Wang didn't say anything more, turned around and walked into the kitchen, and after a while, I saw her walking out with Mama Zhang, who was still carrying a kitchen knife in her hand, and slowly walked out of the door.
After Mr. Wang and Zhang's mother left, I stayed in the dormitory for a while, and then walked out, and in the distance, I saw that in the security room, Xiao Li was dozing off at the table, so I turned around and climbed up to the second floor with a smoke.
There are two rooms on the second floor that are locked, and as for which one is the archive room where the contract is stored, Sister Sun doesn't know very well, so I can only look for them one by one.
Walking to the first room, I pulled a wire out of my pocket, inserted it into the brass lock, and after a bit of tinking, the cylinder was stabbed open with a click.
I quietly pushed the door open, slipped inside, and closed the door again.
The archive had apparently been unoccupied for a long time, the floor was covered in dust, and on the left side was a bookshelf filled with various documents.
In order from top to bottom, I stood in front of the bookshelf and rummaged through them in turn, Xiao Hei helped on the side, and after a while, I found a yellowed note in an old book.
There was a string of names written on the note, as well as the date of birth, a total of more than a dozen, I took out the list that my sister gave me, and compared them one by one, but found that the two did not match at all.
Could it be that this is not a contract?
By the way, I remember Sister Sun said that there were originally more than 30 people in this orphanage, but more than a dozen were eaten by monsters, and these names may be people who were eaten by monsters!
Only now, I was looking for a list of people who were still alive, so I stuffed the note back into the book and continued to rummage through it.
I searched around, but found nothing else, and nearly half an hour had passed.
I had no choice but to give up on looking for it here, walked out of the room, opened another file with a gourd scoop, and slipped in.
The layout of the two archives is more or less the same, but this one is much cleaner than the previous one.
After rummaging through the bookshelves for a while, a note with a string of names on it finally fell again.
"Jin Shaoru, five and a half years old, student...... ”
"Tao Xiaosen, four years old, student ......"
"Zhou Xiaomei, six years old, student ......"
"Wang Huaihua, 35 years old, teacher ......"
I looked at the name on the note and compared it with the list written by Sister Sun, there is no doubt that this note is the contract I am looking for!
Just looking at it, I had a little doubt again.
There are a total of fifteen names on the contract, except for the ten children, the rest are the names of teachers and staff, and even the name of Teacher Wang.
