Chapter 5: The Old Beggar

"Xiao Yan, today's incident, tomorrow the dean will definitely know, even if we insist on the yellow-faced mother-in-law to detain our belongings, I guess our dean will not necessarily listen to us, otherwise other teachers will also know these things, then the dean may also know, I suspect that they are all colluding. ”

"Collusion?" Zhou Yan was a little puzzled.

"Okay, don't talk about this, it's good that you know, haven't you always wanted to escape from the welfare home?" asked Mu Xinran;

"Sister Mu, how did you know?"

"Hehe, you little clever ghost, as far as your ghost mind is concerned, anyone can see it, you sit in the courtyard every day and look at Uncle Zhang, in fact, you are not watching Uncle Zhang work, but staring at Uncle Zhang's wooden ladder plan to escape from the welfare home, am I right?" Mu Xinran asked;

"Those who know me, Sister Mu!"

"Huh!"

"Sister Mu wants to escape from the welfare home with me?" Zhou Yan asked;

"Xiao Yan, you want to run away because you don't want to be adopted by others, and I am different from you, I was just born, I was abandoned by my own biological mother at the door of this welfare home, the teachers who were cleaning the welfare home at the time saw a young woman abandon me at the door of this welfare home and ran away, so the teachers are thinking that the woman must be my biological mother, maybe she may have a problem at that time, so I don't go anywhere, I have to wait for my mother to come to me in the welfare home, if I leave, she will not find me！”

"I see!"

"Sister Mu, don't worry, you are my sister for life, I will definitely come back to you when I grow up in the future, and we will look for your mother together when the time comes. Zhou Yan affirmed;

"Okay, let's not talk about it, you can leave here quickly, if it's too late, you won't be able to escape when the yellow-faced woman comes!"

"Sister Mu, thank you!"

Mu Xinran smiled slightly, Zhou Yan turned around and climbed towards the ladder, and in a blink of an eye, Zhou Yan disappeared from the courtyard wall and successfully escaped from the welfare home.

This night was destined to be a sleepless night, after Zhou Yan successfully escaped from the welfare home, the yellow-faced woman immediately notified the director of the welfare home, and then notified the local community police station to look for Zhou Yan who escaped.

Zhou Yan hid under the dark bridge, and above the bridge was to find Zhou Yan's police car with sirens coming and going.

"You're holding me down, young man!"

A decadent voice suddenly came from under the pitch-black bridge, and Zhou Yan's hair suddenly stood on end, and he jumped up in an instant.

"Who is it?"

"Who's talking?"

"Hehe, don't be afraid, young man, I'm just an old beggar who no one cares about, but you are so late and you are hiding here, are you awkward with the people at home, and the police cars coming and going up there are looking for you?" the old beggar asked;

"No...... No!" Zhou Yan retorted;

"Hehe, the old beggar is eighty and three, and he has never seen any winds and waves, and you little doll still want to lie to me, and it is still a little tender, I advise you to go home quickly. Sneaking out at such a young age as you, if you meet a bad person, it's not a good thing, go back quickly, don't disturb the old beggar to rest. ”

"Grandpa, in fact, I don't have a family anymore, I just ran out of the welfare home. Zhou Yandao;

"Oh!"

"Then why did you escape from the welfare house?" asked the old beggar;

It's because ......

Half an hour later, Zhou Yan told the old beggar the ins and outs of his story.

"So that's the case, boy, your life is hard enough, so if you don't dislike the old beggar, then you can beg with the old beggar for a living, are you willing to be a little beggar?" asked the old beggar;

"Hehe, thank you grandpa for taking me in, I'm willing!" Zhou Yan said happily;

"Hey!

"You kid, you're going to be a beggar, and you're so happy!" "Forget it, there's still some cardboard in that bag, you can use it for one night, and tomorrow I'll take you back to our beggar's real den." ”

"The real den of beggars?"

"A beggar's den?"

"Isn't that the beggar's base camp?" Zhou Yan kept thinking about the old beggar's words.

"Hey, I don't want to do this, I finally found a place to be, and it can be regarded as the first step I have taken, since this is the case, then I, Zhou Yan, will start as a beggar first!"

On the second day, the old beggar woke up Zhou Yan early in the morning and took Zhou Yan all the way along the street to beg, and did not forget to explain some questions to Zhou Yan on how beggars beg.

Because of Zhou Yan's escape, the newspapers in Central Henan Province knew about it, and the reporters of the newspapers surrounded the door of the welfare home early in the morning.

"What the hell is going on, why does a good kid want to escape from the children's welfare home?" said the civil affairs department manager angrily at the director of the orphanage;

"According to my surprise questioning of the children last night, the children unanimously said that it was Teacher Huang Yanli, who manages the children's daily life, who punished them and other things, so the child may have escaped because he was afraid of being punished by Teacher Huang. The dean said;

"The child is afraid of punishment and can easily escape from your welfare home?"

"Whether the safety precautions of your welfare home are in place, I see if you, the director, don't want to do it!"

The director of the welfare home kept wiping the sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief.

"You go and call Huang Yanli here, and then take a few children's representatives, I want to re-understand what happened last night. The civil affairs department manager turned to the teacher behind him;

After a while, Huang Yanli and several representatives of the children came to the dean's office, after continuous questioning by the personnel of the civil affairs department, the children finally told the secret for many years, so frightened that Huang Yanli's face turned pale, and she sat on the ground, originally she wanted to quibble, but under the children's unanimous argument, Huang Yanli finally said the fact that she had deducted the items, and the dean who was sitting on the side to listen to the trial was also so frightened that he almost fainted, it was obvious that they were definitely related.

A day after Zhou Yan escaped, the media published the news that day, the Central Henan Provincial Children's Welfare Institute, the black-hearted dean led his subordinate teachers, and collectively embezzled the love materials donated by caring people in the society were taken away by the police for review, and the welfare home was temporarily represented by the civil affairs department and caring people in the society.

At night, Zhou Yan, who had been begging for a day, followed the old beggar to the real beggar's den.

"Elder Liang, are you back?" a beggar asked;

"Well, you're back, is the helper there?" said the old beggar;

"The helper is inside, huh, who is this boy?" asked the beggar;

"Hehe, also a poor doll, his parents are no longer alive, grandpa also left him five years ago, we met by chance last night, so I brought him here. ”

"Hello!"

"My name is Zhou Yan, please take care of me!"

"Hehe, this kid is still sensible! My name is Fat Bo, they all ask me to be called Bo Zai, you can call me Brother Bo in the future." ”

"Brother Bo is good!" Zhou Yan said obediently;

"Well, that's good, then Elder Liang should hurry in, the helper knows that you are coming today, so he has been waiting for you in the inner hall for a long time. "Fat Wave Road;

"Well, you can go with your business, I'll take this kid in to meet the helper. ”

Subsequently, Zhou Yan was led by the old beggar to the beggar's inner hall.

After entering the hall, Zhou Yan looked back and forth, the beggar's hall was slightly empty and a little dilapidated, only a few wooden chairs and a table that was some years old, and there were many notes on the table, which recorded how much so-and-so begged today and where to beg, And so on and so forth, and on the steps in the hall, there was also a bamboo chair, on which sat a man, about thirty-seven or eighteen years old, with a mediocre appearance, pale and sickly, but his expression was very humble and gentle, he grabbed the armrest of the bamboo chair, and nodded forward with his strength, "Elder Liang is here!"

"Well, the helper doesn't need to be polite, the helper has been getting better lately?" asked the old beggar;

"Don't hide it from Elder Liang, my body is getting worse day by day, and I'm afraid my life is not long in coming. The man said;

Hearing this, the old beggar hurriedly got up and came to the man's side, stretched out his hand to touch the pulse of the man's wrist, and then shook his head and said, "Helper, the old beggar is afraid that there is nothing he can do, if the helper listens to the old beggar's words, he may have some chance to turn around if he embezzles part of the begging public funds to be admitted to the hospital for treatment, but now that the disease has invaded the heart and lungs, I am afraid that even if the helper enters the hospital now, I am afraid it will be in vain!"

"It's okay Elder Liang, how many generations of helpers and deacons have never used everyone's hard-earned money, I can't break this rule, I have already figured it out in the past few days, in this life, life is nothing more than a process, either die early or die late, but in the end, everyone can't escape a dead word, so I figured it out, I asked you to come today to discuss with you the candidate to take over as the helper!" the man sighed;

"Elder Wang, why didn't Elder Feng come?" the old beggar asked;

"The two elders Wang and Feng have actually been here, and the meaning of the two of them is to let you choose the old, so let's ask Elder Liang to choose one himself, after all, Elder Liang is still the leader of the previous generation, wasn't I also elected by you at that time?" the man said;

Zhou Yan stood beside the old beggar and was taken aback, it turned out that this old beggar grandfather was still the leader of the previous generation, no wonder so many people were so respectful when they saw him.

"Hey!"

"The old beggar is now also a person who is about to enter the ground, and he has not interfered in the affairs of the gang for many years, so the old beggar does not know who to choose, and now who is handling the affairs of the gang, and the old beggar does not know, if the person in charge of this matter has no major problems, he will be promoted!" said the old beggar;
