"Hmph, Shen boy still remembers us, he hasn't made a phone call for so many years, and I thought he would never want to come back except to send money here every month."

The old man patted the iron filings on his hands, snorted coldly, turned around and walked towards the courtyard.

Lin Qiye and the others followed closely behind him.

"By the way, what about Shen boy? Why didn't he come? "

"Oh, Shen Qingzhu is on a secret mission, and he can't get out." Lin Qiye replied without changing his face, and then quickly opened the topic, "What do you call it?" "

"My surname is Liu, and I am the director of this private orphanage." The old man pushed his reading glasses.

Old man Liu led Lin Qiye and the others through the narrow courtyard and walked into the only old-fashioned suite in the courtyard.

The house is not high, for a young man like Lin Qiye, it looks a little cramped, the rough and old walls, carefully painted with light green paint, hand-painted red flowers with paint outline on it, although dilapidated, but there is a kind of innocent warmth.

As soon as he crossed the threshold, Lin Qiye saw three or four children hiding behind the door, looking at them curiously and fearfully, the eldest was twelve or thirteen years old, and the younger one was only seven or eight years old.

They were wearing old-fashioned but very warm padded jackets, their faces were ruddy, and they looked very well nourished.

There was only a little boy in the corner, who looked a little different, and in this weather, he was only wearing a thin gray sweatshirt, his face was a little pale, and he was older than the other children.

"Back then, Shen Xiaozi said that he would be a soldier, but I still didn't believe it, with his stinky temper, could he be a soldier? It is estimated that he will be brought back by the instructor on the day he goes. "

As Old Man Liu walked, he muttered:

"Unexpectedly, it really let him stay...... Eh, he's in the army now, what level is he? "

"Count as officers." Lin Qiye pondered for a moment and replied, "I have made a lot of contributions, and I have brought a new class of recruits this year, and my prestige is very high." "

Old man Liu turned around and walked into a small room, which looked like an office, but there was nothing else except a wooden table, a few benches, and a few thick stacks of newspapers stacked in the corner.

Old man Liu brought the bench to everyone, and he also sat down, grinning:

"It's not bad, I didn't disgrace the dean."

"Dean Liu, how long has your orphanage been open?" Baili Chubby looked around and couldn't help but ask.

"More than thirty years." Dean Liu unscrewed the thermos flask, blew a few shriveled wolfberries floating on the water, and said leisurely,

"Don't look at the uncle, I'm like this now, I was also a well-known entrepreneur in Linjiang back then, I made a lot of money in my thirties, and then I had a serious illness, and I can be regarded as seeing through some things, and I opened an orphanage, which is considered to be a good deed.

At that time, Linjiang had not yet developed, and it was not too far away, but later high-rise buildings were built, and there were fewer and fewer people living nearby, and it slowly became a small broken place that no one cared about.

It's not uncle, I'm blowing, in the past thirty years, there have been not a hundred orphans who have walked out of me, but seventy or eighty, Shen boy, I picked it up by the river twenty years ago. "

Lin Qiye nodded thoughtfully:

"By the way, what about the hooligans you just said?"

"This place is old, naturally some people will be eyeing it, isn't the Li Group going to engage in real estate projects here? I often send some gangsters and ruffians to make trouble, but don't worry, uncle, I'm not afraid of them. "

Old man Liu took a sip of tea and said lightly.

"They're bullying! If Brother Qingzhu is here, which ruffian hooligan would dare to come to our Dongtan Lane to make trouble?! "

The little girl in a red cotton jacket, who had been squatting at the door, immediately stood up and said angrily.

"That is, when Brother Qingzhu is here, who dares to provoke us in the underworld of the entire Linjiang? Brother Qingzhu directly knocked their teeth flying! The rest of the children also responded.

"Tsk, children's families, what do you know about the underworld? It's all Shen boy's bad for you. Old man Liu glared at them.

"In that case, why don't you move out?" Cao Yuan asked suspiciously,

"It's so old here, it would be nice to have a new environment? Is it that they can't open the conditions? "

"Not really." Old man Liu opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't open his mouth.

"Understood."

Lin Qiye nodded and gave Baili Chubby beside him a look.

Baili Chubby stood up and said with a smile, "You guys talk first, I'll go out and make a call." "

Waiting for Baili Chubby to walk out of the house, Lin Qiye and the others chatted for a while, the gloomy sky outside the window became darker and darker, and there was faint thunder surging among the clouds, as if a rainstorm was about to usher in.

"Not good...... It's going to rain again, and I haven't bought the dishes for dinner today. "

Old man Liu saw the change of sky outside the window, his brows suddenly furrowed, he hurriedly stood up, picked up the umbrella and walked out the door.

"Shall we go for you?" Lin Qiye immediately got up.

"No, where are you young people going to buy groceries...... Listen to the uncle, you just stay with this group of little cubs, have a meal together in the evening and then leave, and by the way, tell me what Shen boys have done in the camp. "

The dripping rain fell, and Old Man Liu held up his umbrella, pushed open the iron door, and walked out quickly.

In the Hanshan Orphanage, only Lin Qiye and a few children were left looking at each other.

Due to Jiang Er's special appearance, he has been hiding in the sound of An Qingyu's waist in a magnetic field, and the coffin body is in the trunk outside the lane, so there are only three people left in the house: Lin Qiye, Cao Yuan and An Qingyu.

Just when Lin Qiye was worried about how to communicate with this group of children, Baili Chubby took his mobile phone and beckoned to him outside the window:

"Seven nights, come over for a moment."

Lin Qiye was stunned and got up and walked out.

Cao Yuan's gaze swept over the immature children in front of him, and he struggled for a long time, but he still spoke tentatively:

"You ......"

All the children immediately took a step back in unison, and their eyes were full of fear when they looked at Cao Yuan, especially the little girl, who was almost scared and cried.

"No, I'm not a bad person...... I ......"

Cao Yuan, who had a fierce face, was pale and wanted to explain something, and the children quickly turned around and ran into another small room, as if they were hiding from some kind of flood beast.

Cao Yuan: ......

An Qingyu stood up with a smile and patted Cao Yuan's shoulder,

"Don't be discouraged, looks are innate, but if you need that, I can give you the whole ...... when you go back."

Under Cao Yuan's resentful gaze, An Qingyu followed the children into the small room, and soon, there was a giggling sound of the children being laughed in the room.

Cao Yuan let out a long sigh.

At that moment, his gaze met that of the only child in the corner who had not escaped.
