To explore my own past from other people's oral accounts, I need to be calm and calm.

After listening to Luo Bing's story, I tried to remove the flesh and bones and dig out the soul.

Luo Bing and I met outside the funeral home.

She's eighteen, I'm sixteen. The two of us stood separately at the door of the funeral home, like "door gods". My face was as cold as frost, and she was crying so much that she was almost out of breath. I completed my father's funeral alone, and I faced countless debt collectors. She was heartbroken and cared for her, and the old director who founded and ran the "Angel Orphanage" alone died suddenly during a fundraiser. The person who wanted to cry but couldn't give the person who cried until he almost fainted handed a bottle of water.

"You're almost dry. Hydrate up. ”

The similar experience of the death of a loved one brings our hearts closer. As long as you stand side by side, even if you don't speak, it is enough to comfort each other.

I got to know Luo Bing, and naturally I also knew the welfare home where she grew up. I think it must have been all of a sudden that I had no relatives and I resonated with the orphans in the orphanage to some extent. So much so that I have been volunteering at the Angel Welfare Home ever since. Even think of yourself as a member of the welfare home.

As a well-known non-governmental charity, the "Angel Welfare Institute" was able to raise very limited donations, and with the death of the most influential old director, the welfare home was even more deadlocked, struggling and crumbling. With the help of the older children who grew up and left the "angels", it survived another four years in a crumbling state.

Four years after acquaintance, my sophomore year in college, Luo Bing is in the graduation season, in view of her excellent performance during the internship period, a large company has sent her an admission notice, but the welfare institute is in crisis again, Luo Bing decided to give up the admission qualifications in hand, and resolutely returned to the Angel Welfare Institute to help. At this time, the welfare institute had come to an end, and the huge financial deficit on the books could no longer be solved by Luo Bing's return. Bankruptcy is not a "possibility" as it is said, but a reality that is about to be faced.

Just when she was sad and broken—

"You told me that your club is willing to give a sum of money for charity, about 100,000 yuan. This money is already a lot, but it is still far from enough to fill the loopholes in the welfare institutions.

"Actually, at that time, you were also being collected for debts. Say it was owed by your father when he was alive. I joked that both of us sisters were unlucky, and they were really a pair of difficult sisters. You just say, anyway, it's a knife left and right, so it's better to go out and fight once.

"After a few days, you came to me out of the blue, and asked me to take you to the owner of this nearby field. You said you were going to buy land. I actually want to buy this land. This wilderness is deserted everywhere, and there is no other value except for planting some trees and crops. I really think you're crazy.

"But you insisted on buying it, and I showed you the owner of the land. Because the money was not enough, you chose left and right, and chose a certain piece of land in a large area, spending hundreds of thousands. Even if you only buy a small piece of land, it will cost you a lot of money, I ask you where you got that money? You said it was borrowed. I'm afraid you'll take a detour, but you reassure me, and I'll know after a while.

"Three months later, you took a large sum of money out to the dean and asked him to pay off the debt first, and it turned out that you sold the land. After another six months, I saw on TV the news that Cloud Group had decided to build a resort here. ”

I was ready to listen to a heinous past, only to get a completely opposite story from Luo Bing's mouth, even with a little bit of grandeur.

I should have found out the news from the birthday party of Lu Zhaochuan and learned that the Cloud Group was going to build a resort near the welfare institute, so I embezzled the public funds of the association, preemptively purchased one of the plots from the landlord, and then sold the land to the Cloud Group as the owner.

Relying on long operations, I have generated considerable wealth in my account. Next, I made up the public funds I had taken privately and paid off the debts owed by my family and the welfare home. I saved a sum separately and sent it to Xiao Yuwai. The rest of the money was invested in the stock market, playing the financial game of buying and selling short.

What an empty glove wolf!

Even after the fact, I still hear the thrill, how can I be sure that the information I am getting is 100% correct? Even if the news is true, what if the cloud group's resort plan is aborted? Who gave me such fat guts that I danced on the tip of a knife!

The whole story sounds similar to the first half of the rabbit.

If it's not for me to come and go, someone is there for me.

However, whether I remember this passage or not, what has always been consistent is that I have been fighting with a reckless force, purely out of the instinct of a hot-blooded animal.

"Although the orphanage's debt has been alleviated, there are a lot of holes to fill next. You tell me you still have some money, but it will take a while to get it out......"

I took her words and continued: "But since then, I haven't been seen again. ”

"Hmm."

I speculate that shortly after saying this to Luo Bing, it will be my trip to Baiyun Mountain, and then, I will stay in Licheng.

Speaking of which, I found that in the story Luo Bing said, there was no Lu Zhaochuan.

So—

"How did you and Ritsu Zhaochuan meet?"

"On the day we agreed to meet, you didn't come, Alu came, he introduced himself as your friend, said that you went abroad to study, and you were in a hurry, so you didn't have time to explain to me. He gave me a large sum of money and said it was a ...... you left for the orphanage."

The donation given by Lu Zhaochuan was used by Luo Bing to build a building, set up a library and issue scholarships, Luo Bing really thought that the donation came from me, so the names of related facilities and bonuses were named after "stars......

Why did Ritsu Zhaochuan do this?

I lowered my head to look at the mobile phone he gave me in my hand, and instantly recalled Lu Zhaochuan's narrow eyes with a little decadence and evil spirit, and his thin lips pursed seemed to have a thousand words, but he didn't say half a word.

I couldn't reach his mind.

To me, he is like the far reaches of the universe, mysterious and terrifying.

My perspective on him has never been one-sided, and I have never really understood him.

"At that time, I really thought that you were studying abroad." Knowing what happened to me, Luo Bing held my hand apologetically, our way of expressing emotions is very simple, but sincerity can be felt.

"Thank you." I say. At the same time, a burst of sour welled up on the tip of his nose. This thank you is said to Luo Bing, and it is also to the "me" of the past that I have forgotten - thank you for not being heinous, thank you for doing something proud.

I asked Luo Bing about the current operation of the orphanage, and also told her about my current situation. I think that even if I can never remember the past, with this meeting, we will be able to get acquainted with each other quickly and return to our previous relationship.

We were chatting when we heard the crisp sound of porcelain falling to the ground behind us.

"Oh, look at your hands. Let's put it aside, I'll introduce you, this is our star! Luo Bing said to the person at the door.

I looked back and was shocked. The helpless girl at the door was none other than Xin Xiaoxing. She was stunned, even a little frightened, when she saw me, and she hung her head as if she were going to go underground.

"Miss Star!" I shouted softly.

Luo Bing explained: "Her name is Xin Xiao, and she also grew up in our welfare home. Alu funded her college tuition. ”

"I'm sorry, I'll make a pot of tea again!" She shouted, stumbling to the door, quickly disappearing from the doorway.

Luo Bing was puzzled and apologetic: "Oh, I really don't know what's wrong with this child, I've never seen her like this before." ”

"What did you say her was called?"

"Xin Xiao. She actually has parents, her father was violent and gambling, and then disappeared, and her mother also left, and her grandmother sent her here. Also a poor child. Do you think her outfit is somewhat similar to yours? ”

Me: "Yes......"

Luo Bing smiled: "I occasionally see her sitting in the courtyard without speaking, and I can't help but think of you." You say it's like it's not. ”

As he spoke, someone brought in freshly brewed tea. Of course not Xin Xiaoxing. No, it's Xin Xiao.

Obviously, she didn't want to see me.

After the conversation with Luo Bing, we agreed to meet another day, and she sent me out. As soon as I went out, I saw Xin Xiao drying clothes in the courtyard. She was standing on a stool and hanging a freshly washed sheet on the clothesline. My gaze fell on her feet.

As soon as I approached, she was standing on the chair and saw me, and her body shook suddenly, and she shook twice, and she almost fell to the ground.

"Your feet are all right." I blurted out subconsciously.

At that point, she vanished into thin air. My biggest concern was what happened to her foot injury.

"Xingxing, did you know Xin Xiao before? Did you know she had a leg injury? Luo Bing was surprised.

I was about to answer.

Xin Xiao hurriedly jumped down from the chair and said urgently, "Dean, can you let me and Miss Xingxing say a few words alone?" ”

Luo Bing was stunned for a moment and wrinkled his eyebrows slightly.

Xin Xiao's unusual attitude made her wonder.

"This ......," Luo Bing asked for my opinion with his eyes. I nodded.

Luo Bing said: "I bought some delicious dried plums and wanted you to take them back to eat, but I forgot to take them just now, so I'll go back and get them." ”

Saying that, Luo Bing turned around and went back.

After Xin Xiao was sure that Luo Bing had gone away, he asked timidly: "You didn't tell the dean about me and Lu Zhaochuan." ”

"What is the matter between you and Ritsu Zhaochuan?" I asked rhetorically.

She choked up at my question.

I broke the embarrassment: "I didn't expect to meet here." "Looking at her clever appearance of jumping up and down, her legs should be fine.

"There was a shortage of people in the hospital, so I came back to help."

"I read the letter you wrote to me."

She was stunned.

"Why are you writing to me?" I never beat around the bush," and it was a letter full of lies. ”

Xin Xiao began to retreat.

I continued: "Since you grew up here, maybe you've known me for a long time. ”

Xin Xiao's face turned pale, and her lips trembled slightly.

"Regarding your affairs, I have no obligation or responsibility to keep it secret for you, so is the person you are afraid of, Luo Bing, or, Lu Zhaochuan?" I give the hardest blow.

"It's not all a lie!" She suddenly raised her voice.

I gave her a look of hope to continue.

"At first, my heart was real, but halfway through writing, I suddenly had a startling conjecture, and I speculated, perhaps, that you were the one he was really looking for...... I'm not reconciled, why, I can only be a stand-in, an irrelevant character who comes and goes when called. I'm not reconciled, I ......" she suddenly fell to the ground, covered her face and cried bitterly, "...... I deceived myself and ended up with nothing. ”
