Chapter 97 Orphanage
When Lin Fengmu came to the bus to see Yu Yao, everyone had already finished the previous topic and were discussing the next itinerary.
After Lin Fengmu was welcomed in, his eyes froze for a moment when he glanced at Chi Heng.
"Brother Feng Mu." Yu Yao called out calmly, her eyes as clear as usual.
Lin Fengmu's heart softened slightly, and he naturally sat down next to her and asked, "Have you rested well? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
"I'm fine."
"...Why...did you push me away?"
Lin Fengmu's dark eyes sank slightly as he looked at Yu Yaofen with disapproval in his eyes.
Yu Yao said: "It was a subconscious action."
She really didn't want to drag others into her own troubles.
Lin Fengmu's eyes were full of hurt.
Yu Yao lowered her eyes, pretending not to see.
"Don't do this next time. I'm worried."
"oh."
Don't worry, it will happen again next time.
......
Luo Mei's seductive fox eyes moved back and forth between the two of them, her gossipy look evident in her eyes.
Chi Heng sat quietly aside with a calm expression.
Only the hands placed under the table were clenched quietly in a corner where no one could see.
Fortunately, the two of them just chatted for a few words, and Lin Fengmu tactfully stopped disturbing Yu Yao who obviously didn't want to say more.
Instead, he discussed the subsequent itinerary with Chi Heng.
It was already afternoon, so the group decided to leave here and find a place to spend the night.
......
The convoy set off for about an hour and then stopped again.
For no other reason than there is a small base not far ahead.
The other party set up roadblocks and chevaux de frise on the road that was necessary for passing.
Dongfang Jin and Lin Fengmu got out of the car to negotiate.
There weren't many people on the other side, only five, all of them were psychics below level one.
Although his strength is not strong, his attitude is very tough.
If you want to pass, you must pay the toll!
Dongfang Jin originally thought that it was better to have less trouble than more.
Unexpectedly, when the other party saw him driving such a nice modified car, they made a huge demand and asked each person to leave 100 kilograms of food.
He asked for thousands of kilograms of food.
They really dare!
Dongfang Jin is not going to indulge them anymore.
Just as he was about to take action, two middle-aged men suddenly rushed out from the opposite rear.
As the two hurried over here, one of them cursed loudly: "Nonsense, you are just fooling around, why are you causing trouble again? Get out of my way!"
Seeing this, one of the young men who was blocking the road spat heavily and cursed inwardly that it was bad luck.
"Who leaked the news? How did this troublesome guy get here?"
The middle-aged man who was speaking came over quickly and kicked each of them hard without saying a word.
"You guys! Bastards! You come out again! Blocking the road! Don't think this will work out!"
One word and one kick, impartial.
Although the young men who were kicked looked unconvinced, they were all like defeated quails and no one dared to speak.
They are said to be young people, but upon closer inspection they are actually a group of half-grown children.
Wild and stubborn.
......
After kicking the man, the middle-aged man quickly apologized to Dongfang Jin.
"I'm sorry, little brother. My children are young and don't know much. If I'm offended, please don't bother with them. It's getting dark, and it's not safe for you to walk on the road. To express our apologies, we will let you stay in our base for free and provide you with meals. I just ask you not to embarrass them."
When the young man who had just spoken heard that he wanted to provide meals, he immediately stopped.
"Why should we provide them with meals? What will we eat if we give them food? We are almost out of food!"
"Saihu, shut up!"
Another thin middle-aged man glared at the child who was speaking fiercely and told him not to speak anymore.
Dongfang Jin, who had watched a good show, raised his eyebrows slightly and had a heated discussion with several other teammates through mental communication.
He exchanged a glance with Lin Fengmu, and then said, "We do need a place to stay. But we don't need you to provide meals, we have prepared them ourselves. At the same time, we can also pay for your room."
Upon hearing this, the boy named Saihu's eyes immediately lit up.
"Really? How much? How about 100 kilograms of food?"
Seeing this, the slightly plump middle-aged man hurried forward and covered Saihu's mouth.
With an apologetic smile, he said, "Children don't know how much 100 kilograms of food is, so don't take it seriously. We have plenty of houses, so you can stay there for free!"
When Saihu heard this, his eyes widened and he immediately began to struggle, and it seemed that the middle-aged man could no longer hold him down.
Qifeng, who was driving the car behind, suddenly opened the door and got out of the car aggressively.
His eyes were fixed on Saihu's face with an extremely oppressive feeling, and he shouted in a muffled voice: "What's the matter? Can you stay here forever?"
I have to say that to deal with this kind of child you have to rely on pressure from your aura.
Qifeng glared, not to mention the other children.
Even the tough tiger was frightened into silence, like a defeated quail, not daring to make a sound.
Finally, the group was led by two middle-aged men.
Soon we followed a relatively flat and wide winding mountain road to a small base on the top of the mountain.
It is called a small base, but in fact it is an orphanage.
On the shabby and dim sign at the gate read: Lezhiju Sunshine Welfare Home.
The two middle-aged men, one fat and one thin, are named Zhou Shanhai and Liang Ning.
One is a teacher at the welfare home, and the other is a logistics manager.
Under the command of the two, the children guarding the gate quickly opened the door of the welfare home.
They watched several cars drive into their home.
There was a row of half-old two-story buildings in the yard. When the people inside heard the noise, they came out to watch the excitement.
The leader was a thin woman in her fifties, with silver hair and looking extremely haggard.
After Chi Heng and his companions got off the car, the woman hurried over to greet them.
Zhou Shanhai, who led the way, raised his hand to the middle-aged woman and introduced her to Dongfang Jin: "This is our hospital... uh, base director, Ms. Chang An."
After the introduction, he quickly said to Chief Chang: "These are the guests who want to stay here."
Chang An smiled and nodded to Chi Heng and Lin Fengmu, saying, "Since you want to stay overnight, come with me. Our house is cleaned every day, it's very clean, you can rest assured."
Having said that, he led the group directly into the two-story building.
Yu Yao looked around and found that this so-called base was almost entirely filled with children, the youngest of whom was probably less than ten years old.
Adults, except the base commander and Zhou Shanhai and Liang Ning who led them here.
There was only a young man standing in the corner, who looked like he was dressed as a security guard.
There are four adults in total, and among them there are only two people with special abilities: Base Captain Chang and the security guard.
Then he looked at the pale and skinny people around him, and moved curiously along with their movements.
The children who kept staring at them.
Yu Yao suddenly understood why Saihu took people to block the road and ask for food.
Not rich indeed.
Ms. Chang An took them to the rooms at the edge of the second floor and pointed to the four innermost rooms.
"These rooms are all empty. There are bunk beds inside. You can divide them up and live however you like. I live in the dean's office, the first room on the left under the stairs. You can come to me anytime if you have any questions."
After saying that, after receiving Dongfang Jin's polite response, he said goodbye and went downstairs with a few brave children who had followed him until now.
......
There are four bunk beds in each of the four rooms, totaling eight beds.
For safety reasons, Yu Yao, Luo Mei and Chen Wanjun went to the middle room.
Chi Heng and six others lived in the room at the farthest edge.
Lin Fengmu and his team lived in the room next to Yu Yao and others.
The one nearest the stairs was still empty.
He refused the steamed corn bread and the clear rice soup in which you could hardly see the rice that Liang Ning sent him.
Everyone in the group took out instant noodles, bread, or compressed biscuits and started eating.
......
First floor, principal's office.
Chang'an's office was very crowded, and a small desk was filled with various items.
There was also a small single bed and a shabby but clean cloth wardrobe next to it.
When Liang Ning arrived at the office, Chang An was sitting in a simple wooden office chair and talking to the security guard.
"Director... Commander, those people didn't want our food."
Chang An nodded without surprise, "Didn't they say they didn't want it? Take it back and share it with the children."
"OK."
When he finished speaking, the security guard next to him quickly asked, "Where's the water? Do you want some?"
"I stayed."
Upon hearing that he was staying, the security chief breathed a sigh of relief, "Oh, that's good."
Chang An saw this and frowned and asked, "Xiao Ce, you didn't do anything, did you?"
The man called Xiaoce by Chang An is named Yu Mingce.
He is a security guard at Lezhiju Welfare Home and one of the only two adults with superpowers, a late-stage first-level fire-type superpower.
Yu Mingce heard the question in Chang An's mouth and grinned calmly.
The originally ordinary face inexplicably had a hint of sunshine and youthfulness.
"Dean, what are you talking about? I'm worried that the guests will have a bad experience."
Chang An sighed, "Xiao Ce, I know what you are thinking. But... don't hurt innocent people, okay? They are just passing by to stay for one night and will leave tomorrow. And those people are not simple, don't cause any more trouble!"
"Don't worry, I know."
Chang An looked at him deeply, then nodded and said, "Do you really know?"
"real!"
"That's good, you go out first."
"Okay... Base Captain."
After Yu Mingce finished speaking, he turned around and left.
......
As soon as he left, Chang An whispered to Liang Ning, "Go get all the water back and tell them that the children were naughty and accidentally mixed some dirt into the water when they boiled it. Change some water for them."
Liang Ning was stunned and his expression changed slightly.
"I boiled the water myself, so it should be fine."
Chang An sighed, "It would be best if there is no problem, but when I look at Xiao Ce's expression, I always feel that something is wrong."
When Liang Ning heard this, he nodded heavily.
