Simultaneous travel: I have forged an immortal name in the heavens

Chapter 230 [Jingcheng Orphanage, my brother is here to see me]

Jingcheng.

An ancient city with a long history on the bank of the Yangtze River.

In an old downtown area near the river, there is an Arabic-style building with a light golden dome, which is very eye-catching.

But if you look closely, you will find that this is not a temple, but an orphanage.

A privately run orphanage.

The scale is not large, maintaining at around 40 people.

Because it is located on the bank of the Yangtze River, this ancient city often experiences drizzles in the summer.

Starting from July.

It has been drizzling for more than half a month, the sun has not been seen for a long time, and the feeling of dampness permeates every corner.

It was just after ten in the morning and the sky outside was still foggy.

In the yard, younger children were chattering and playing in the drizzle.

A black Audi sedan drove out of the yard, and a man and a woman could be seen standing at the door seeing each other off, until the red light at the rear of the car disappeared in the drizzle and could no longer be seen.

"Crench--!"

The rusty iron door made a sound.

"Xiao Ya refused to adopt again?"

The middle-aged man closed the rusty iron door, turned around and looked at his wife who was urging the children to go back to the room to avoid the rain and asked.

"Eh."

The middle-aged woman nodded, her face full of fatigue.

After sending all the well-behaved children back into the building to shelter from the rain, she turned around and followed the man to the self-built hut that served as a kitchen.

When the adoptive parents arrived, she had just come back from buying groceries and was preparing to cook.

Because the economic situation is bad.

The money the couple earns is barely enough to cover the orphanage's daily expenses.

The three caregivers originally hired also left in the first half of this year. Now the burden of taking care of more than 40 children falls entirely on the two of them.

But neither of them regretted it.

This orphanage has been open for more than 20 years and I believe it will continue to be open.

The light in the small room that served as a kitchen became dimmer, but the two of them did not turn on the lights.

I sat down in the dim light from the window and started picking vegetables.

In a large enamel basin with bright red peony patterns next to it, there are more than ten different kinds of fish, all of which are still alive and kicking and look very fresh.

This is the food in the courtyard today.

The people who rely on the mountains to eat the mountains and the water to eat the water.

Jingcheng is close to the Yangtze River, where fish resources are abundant and cheap. If we want to improve the food and help the children regulate their bodies, fish meat is the best choice and can also be used to make soup.

On such a rainy day, drinking a bowl of hot white fish soup is a real treat.

But even relatively cheap fish is rarely available to children.

Most of the daily food is monotonous stir-fried vegetables and rice.

"Does your leg still hurt?"

When the middle-aged man saw his wife sitting down, he paused for a moment, with a look of pain on his face, and asked with concern, "Let's go find Doctor Zhang for another acupuncture treatment later."

"No, a plaster will do. My joints hurt after the rain." The woman immediately refused.

"."

The man did not try to persuade her any further. He lowered his wrinkled head, which was covered with white hair at a very early age even though he was only in his forties, and continued picking vegetables in silence.

Rheumatic joint pain is common.

Especially in humid areas, older people will feel dull pain and itching in their joints when it rains, and the feeling is so painful that they want to die.

But the price of acupuncture is very expensive, which is equivalent to two days' meal cost for children.

Can save, save
The only sound in the silence was the sound of raindrops hitting the asbestos tiles.

After a while.

"Mr. Lin said that he wanted to donate 100,000 yuan to the hospital." The man spoke to himself casually but tentatively.

"They also said they could find a way to get some government subsidies for the children. It should be 10 yuan per person per day."

The woman was silent.

Seeing this, the man sighed, "I know you like Xiaoya, and I like her too. Although she is a little withdrawn, she has always been well-behaved and obedient, and she also takes care of her younger brothers and sisters."

"Xiao Ya said that she doesn't want to be adopted, and she's older now. She'll be an adult in a few years, so there's no need to find an adoptive parent."

The woman interrupted her man, stood up to get some vegetables from farther away, and then continued to sit and pick vegetables.

The man was silent and quietly changed the subject, "Yes, she said she has a brother who will come to see her, but who knows."

"Then Mr. Lin refused?"

"."The woman said nothing.

The man continued to talk to himself, "Mr. Lin and his wife seem to be kind-hearted. Even if Xiaoya doesn't want to be adopted, they will probably donate money to the orphanage, which will then ease the pressure on us."

The woman relaxed a little, stopped, and rubbed her joints in pain. "I hope so. Then I can buy new clothes for the children."

"You can go to a big hospital and let the doctor take a good look at your leg." The middle-aged man said gently.

The couple held hands, looked at each other's wrinkled faces, and smiled at each other.

The gloomy little house seemed to no longer be damp and cold.

There is a warmth of mutual support.

But they didn't notice that a figure flashed by the window at the door.

There are three buildings in the courtyard.

The main building is an Arabic-style building, next to which is a three-story building and a small house for cooking and washing clothes.

In the large room on the north side of the second floor of the three-story building.

The house was very lively.

Some of the children were playing, while others were holding tattered books, immersed in the world of books.

A few older brothers and sisters gathered together alone, whispering to each other.

At this time, the sound of footsteps was heard.

A sturdy boy who looked about sixteen or seventeen years old pushed the door open and walked in.

If you look closely, you can see that his right hand has only half an empty sleeve.

He was born with congenital limb deficiency and was born without a right arm. He is a congenital disability, but fortunately, other parts of his body are normal.

"Brother Tong, I'm back."

It seemed to the older boys and girls who gathered together.

"Ah."

The boy called Brother Tong took the towel handed to him by someone else and wiped his head.

Parents are role models for their children.

Although they don't have parents, they still feel the warmth from 'Mom and Dad'.

They all have decent conduct.

He doesn't do any petty theft and never bullies other children. Instead, he helps take care of his younger brothers and sisters.

"What's wrong? Is it the sponsor?" a younger boy asked expectantly.

"Yes, that's an Audi. My classmate's father also drives this car. It's said to cost more than 300,000 yuan."

"So expensive!"

Children from poor families grow up early, and these children become mature and intelligent beyond their age.

They naturally noticed the black Audi that had just left, and also noticed the conversation between the owner and his wife and the dean and his wife.

Brother Tong nodded, hesitated for a moment and said, "They are planning to support our hospital."

"Really?!" Everyone's eyes lit up.

Funding means new clothes, new shoes, new utensils, and better meals.

"Great."

The joy spread quickly.

But the boy hesitated, wondering whether to say something else and pour a bucket of cold water on everyone.

"Is Mr. Lin simply providing financial assistance, or does he want to adopt a child?" someone asked.

Now, the boy had to say

He stretched out his left hand and scratched the back of his head, looked around the room, and then locked his eyes on the lonely figure outside the balcony.

She was wearing white clothes, had a thin figure, and had long black hair. She sat on the bench on the balcony and looked into the distance outside the wall.

That figure seemed to have a feeling that was completely different from everyone else.

It feels like being isolated from the bustling world, and feeling lonely.

"You're not planning to adopt her again, are you?"

A girl nearby followed the boy's gaze and locked onto the thin figure. She couldn't help but speak with a sneer.

"Well, don't use that tone, she didn't do anything wrong." The boy said with a frown.

"Humph."

As if dissatisfied with the protective tone in the boy's voice, the girl's face turned pale and she sat down with her arms folded.

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

"Why, she's only been here for more than half a year, and you're favoring her."

"Yes."

It seems that many older children can't stand the lonely figure.

Well, they are all girls.

Another girl echoed, "No child has been adopted in our hospital in the past few years, and today three groups of people came, all wanting to adopt her. Why?"

"Of course it's because she's pretty, and she looks so cute and pitiful, so 'parents' like her."

"I wish I had a face like that."

The two girls spoke one sentence after another as if to vent their dissatisfaction.

The boy was helpless and looked outside again. After hesitating for a moment, he stood up and walked over.

He was holding a coat in his hand.

"Brother Tong, you are not in love with her, are you?"

I heard the person next to me asking jokingly.

The boy surnamed Tong quickly shook his head, "What are you talking about? I treat her as my sister. If she catches a cold or has a fever, my parents will have to take her to the hospital."

At this time, the girl, who was still venting her dissatisfaction, muttered something.

"You are not her brother. She sits there every day, waiting for her brother to arrive."

"Maybe she is just mentally ill and has imagined her brother."

"That's right, she floated all the way here from the Yangtze River and was rescued. How could she have a brother?"

"Crack!"

The boy ignored the discussions behind him.

Push open the balcony door.

A damp chill hit him in the face and he quickly slammed the door shut with his shoulder.

It seemed that in this way, the thin figure would not hear the cold words spoken to her in the house.

Although she didn't care about that.

The girl was like an autistic person, ignoring everything around her and looking off into the distance.
Through the small buildings in the downtown area, you can see the Yangtze River in the distance covered with mist and the drizzle that is gradually fading away.

"Give me some clothes, don't catch a cold."

The boy hesitated for a moment, then stretched out his left hand and handed the clothes to the girl from behind.

Hear him speak.

The thin back finally turned around
The plain white dress, which had been washed so many times and had some rough edges, could not hide the girl's beautiful face.

It is a beauty that makes people forget to breathe and immerse themselves in the beauty, without being able to produce even a trace of blasphemy.

Awesome beauty!
Coupled with the girl's thin cheeks and pure eyes, there is a feeling of a sick beauty that makes people feel pity.

With delicate facial features and fair skin, she looks like a porcelain doll, and people will subconsciously lower their voices, slow down their movements, and be careful when they speak and move.

I am afraid that if I am not careful, I will destroy this precious beauty.

"I see it's cold outside, I'm afraid you'll catch a cold." The boy was stunned for a moment, then quickly reacted. Looking at the girl's pure and flawless eyes, he hurriedly lowered his head and handed her his coat.

"Thank you."

The voice was soft and ethereal, like a butterfly flying in the woods.

The boy waited for her to take the coat away, and then he felt less nervous.

No, he didn't like the girl. It should be said that he didn't dare to like the girl because she was too beautiful. That beauty made him feel ashamed of himself and he didn't dare to have any profane heart.

So he never had any improper thoughts, he just cared about her.

Unfortunately, whether it was towards him or anyone else, the girl had a faint sense of distance that kept them at a distance, as if they were from a completely different world.

"Um. What does your brother look like?"

The boy picked up a random topic and said awkwardly.

He didn't mean to ask this.
Instead, I wanted to persuade this girl who had forgotten her name, her origins, and her parents, but who only kept mentioning "brother, brother".

Don't wait any longer, why not live a better life?

A girl like you.

I shouldn't have stayed here, in this shabby little yard, sitting on a wooden chair at a slanted corner, staring blankly outside all day long.

Instead, you should be like the girls on the street, dressing up beautifully, wearing sandals, and carrying nice bags when going shopping.

No wonder there were three waves of people wanting to adopt her.

Anyone who has ever met this girl will be struck by her flawless cleanliness and beauty.

As for age and identity, they are not a problem at all.

But the boy still didn't say anything. He subconsciously asked the question that he was most curious about.

A brother who can make such a beautiful girl like a porcelain doll always talk about him.

What kind of person is he?
as predicted.

When it comes to my brother.

"Brother?" The girl's originally pure but empty eyes suddenly lit up, and her whole body lit up.

Tong Ping felt a little jealous. He wished he could have a sister like this. He would never let his sister leave more than three meters away from his sight.

At the same time, out of curiosity, he waited for the girl's description.

But half a day has passed.
"."

"Xiao Ya forgot." The girl's face suddenly looked a little lonely, with confusion and panic in her eyes.

Should have known better.

Tong Ping then realized that she had lost her memory and even forgot her own name. It was given to her by her father, the dean, and her mother. She took her mother's surname, Xu, and was called Xu Ya.

He is so stupid.
In other words, it is difficult to maintain a normal mentality under the gaze of a girl. Anyone would be nervous when being stared at by such a beautiful girl.

Tong Ping thought about it and decided to speak to comfort the frightened girl.

But the next moment.
The girl's eyes suddenly lit up again, and she spoke quickly in a brisk tone that Tong Ping had never heard before.

"But... I can feel it."

"What do you feel?" Tong Ping asked in confusion.

"Brother." The girl said seriously, then she turned her head and looked at the distance of the balcony again, her eyes seemed to penetrate the distant distance.

"I can feel that my brother is about to find me."

"Boom--!"

A loud thunder suddenly streaked across the sky.

Tong Ping was also shocked.

He saw a pair of dazzling eyes emitting golden light.

Tong Ping suddenly felt a surge of fear in his heart.

I can't tell where it came from, but it was like a fear of top predators emerging from the bottom of my heart.

The boy took a step back.

Looking at the lonely back of the girl who turned her head again.

Without saying a word, he hastily opened the door with his left hand and rushed out as if escaping.

My mind was filled with those dazzling golden eyes.
