Chapter 96: Another points of energy increase

Yue Chai laughed dryly and said quickly, "Sir, I see so many people are paying attention to this orphanage. In addition, Shangliu Village is the first orphanage in Chaoyang. It must serve as a role model and is of great importance. Isn't this foundation a little too small?"

Gao Hongfei was stunned, looking at the two acres of land in front of him. He originally thought it was big enough.

After all, there was already an orphanage in the county town, and the area of ​​that orphanage was only about one acre.

But looking at the people at the village entrance, he felt that what Yue Chai said made sense.

However, two acres of land is already the limit here. After all, it is the entrance to the village, and it is the land where the villagers want to build houses.

If they asked all the people at the entrance of the village to move out of their old houses in order to build an orphanage, which would make everyone unhappy, then it would go against the original intention of their charity.

"Is there any other suitable place?" Liang Wei asked.

Gao Hongfei thought for a moment and said, "Originally, my second choice was the land at the foot of the mountain. It's spacious, but it's not very convenient to get in and out. We need to build a road out of it."

The problem with road construction is not big. It only requires widening and leveling the original crooked and steep path. It will not encroach on other people's houses and fields, and it will also be convenient for other villagers.

The expenditure is much higher.

Liang Wei felt that money was not a problem, so he immediately decided, "Then let's go with the land at the foot of the mountain."

After reselecting the address, Gao Hongfei didn't want to delay for a moment, so he asked Yue Chai to lead them to the foot of the mountain to replan the construction.

The location at the foot of the mountain was indeed much more spacious. There was a dilapidated old house at the location they chose. It had been in disrepair for many years and was already crumbling.

Gao Hongfei acted quickly and immediately asked Yue Chai to find some people to come over and tear down the house today.

The helpers arrived soon, and just as one side of the old house's wall collapsed, Chao Chao in the sky suddenly said, "Hmm?"

She and Yu Zimo had already finished breakfast. Because she was a little full, she planned to eat some roasted sweet potatoes in the afternoon. At this moment, He Nanzhou was carrying her to the hospital and walking down the corridor of the inpatient department.

Then the little body suddenly stiffened, which He Nanzhou quickly sensed.

His steps couldn't help but pause slightly, and he couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

"I'm not feeling unwell." Chao Chao shook his head repeatedly and opened his mouth to say something, but suddenly thought that this matter should not be known to others, so he turned his head and saw that his uncle had already opened the door of the ward and went in.

In the huge corridor, there were only her, her father, and a nurse in the distance.

She leaned close to He Nanzhou's ear and whispered, "Dad, I heard that sound in my head again just now. It's the same as last time, as if it came from very far away, a buzzing sound."

He Nanzhou's eyes narrowed, "Energy increased?"

"Well, it increased by five points." She stretched out a hand, spread out her small palm and nodded seriously.

It’s not much, but five points is also energy value.

However, He Nanzhou's brows were tightly furrowed. Although his energy was increasing, he did not look happy at all.

They still haven’t figured out the origin of the 30 energy points last time, and now it’s here again. How did it increase?

But when I asked Chaochao, she didn't know either. She could only feel the difference from the sound, and when she described it, it seemed like it was just a matter of distance.

He Nanzhou was worried about nothing else but that this inexplicable increase in energy would deplete Chao Chao's health, or that Chao Chao would have to pay a price. If that were the case, it would be better not to increase it.

The father and daughter stared at each other. Yu Zimo poked his head out of the ward and asked, "What are you doing standing in the corridor? I thought you were gone. You suddenly disappeared while we were walking."

He Nanzhou restrained his expression and quickly carried Chao Chao into the ward.

However, this incident made Emperor Jingxuan slightly excited.

"Last time, Chao Chao's energy surged, and he also said that the voice in his head came from far away. That was when we were finalizing the Chaoyang Charity Home. It's the same thing this time. Could it be related to us as well?"

The Minister of War calculated, "His Majesty has ordered Huaiping County to select a site for construction as soon as possible. If Lord Liang and County Magistrate Gao acted quickly, there would indeed be progress by now."

"It seems our guess is correct. Whenever there is progress in the establishment of Chaoyang Salesian Home, Chao Chao's energy value will increase."

"I just don't know what Lord Liang and the others did. Isn't five energy points too little?"

"Maybe this is just the beginning. Don't worry. With other developments in the future, the energy value will definitely increase."

Gao Hongfei and Liang Wei, who were paying attention to the movements in the sky from time to time, naturally heard it as well. They looked at each other.

"It seems that even if we only tear down a wall, we've already accomplished something. I wonder how much this energy value will increase once it's completed."

"I think the energy level will only increase significantly when we actually take in people."

"Lord Liang is right. We have to act quickly now." Gao Hongfei said, and went to find Yue Chai to ask him about the progress of finding construction workers.

However, Yue Chai, who had been following the two of them, now had no idea where he had gone.

Gao Hongfei was a little surprised. He walked a few steps to the side and soon found him.

However, Yue Chai turned sideways to look at the other side of the collapsed wall. The two followed his gaze and found a small figure peeking out from there.

Perhaps feeling the gazes of the three of them, the little figure ran away quickly like a rabbit.

Yue Chai hurriedly called him, "Hey, Xiao Shitou, stop and don't run around. The house is being pushed over here. It would be dangerous if it hits you."

Little Stone continued to run as if he didn't hear anything. Yue Chai slapped his legs anxiously. Liang Wei jumped up and came behind him, picked him up and walked back.

Yue Chai breathed a sigh of relief and quickly took the trembling little stone, who dared not struggle. He said to Liang Wei with an apologetic look on his face, "Please forgive me, Sir Liang. This child didn't mean to do it. He just, just..."

Gao Hongfei raised his hand to interrupt him, "Whose child is this?"

Yue Chai hurriedly explained, "His home is right there. The house at the foot of the mountain is his."

Gao Hongfei and the others looked up. This part of the mountain foot was remote and the road was difficult to walk on. Few villagers had built houses here. So, apart from the dilapidated house they were demolishing, there was only one courtyard. It didn't look very big and looked a bit run-down.

Gao Hongfei thought that the child's family situation must not be good, and he was just thinking of asking Yue Chai to send him back.

However, before he could open his mouth, Yue Chai showed an embarrassment. After a while, he finally mustered up the courage to say, "Sir, may I ask you a favor?"
