Xia Yuanfang knew these two names, and she fell silent for a moment.
After a while, Xia Yuanfang said, "Please light a stick of incense for them and tell them that I won't let their deaths be in vain."
Xia Chujian nodded: "I know, aunt, I won't let their deaths be in vain."
That person must be made to pay the corresponding price!
…
Because we were going to Zangge Star to pay tribute to two deceased classmates, no activities were held in the first-class cabin.
Each of them stayed in their own cabin.
Some people took this opportunity to start writing a summary of the expedition.
Xia Chujian was also "writing", but she asked Qilu to write for her.
She planned to take a look at what Qi Lu had "written" and then make some revisions.
There was still time left, and she wanted to get some sleep.
After all, she had just "recovered", and her weakness was obvious to all.
When I woke up, I found myself at an airport outside the atmosphere above Changliu County, the capital of Zangge Star.
Xia Chujian has been here.
Before going to college, the Special Security Bureau arranged for her to go to Kanli Star to participate in the flight training. Because of a competition, she had to fly over the asteroid belt, so she flew from Kanli Star to Zangge Star.
Zanggexing is the base camp of the Quan family, and the Quan family’s ancestral home is here.
Xia Chujian also stayed in the Quan family's ancestral home for a few days.
She emerged from the interstellar spaceship's port, boarded the craft with her classmates, and stared at the city below in a daze.
The orphanage where Gudemao and Pan Nanjie are located is in the suburbs of Changliu County.
This orphanage is not the big orphanage on Zangge Star.
However, although they were mentally prepared, they were still a little dumbfounded when they stood at the door of the very dilapidated orphanage and looked at the "Gupan Orphanage" sign that was already in danger of falling down.
This orphanage is not just shabby!
Chen Yanjun pointed at the doorplate and said, "This is called Gupan Orphanage. Do all the orphans here have the surname Gu or Pan?"
Jiang Sheng said, "Isn't it probably an orphanage jointly run by a man named Gu and a man named Pan?"
There were eight of them, all wearing the uniforms of the Empire's First Military Academy, standing at the door of the dilapidated and messy orphanage, very conspicuous.
The gate opened, and an old woman, as old as a wrinkled potato, stood before them and asked doubtfully, "Excuse me, who are you looking for?"
Xia Chujian said, "We are classmates of Gu Demao and Pan Nanjie, and we came here specially to see them today."
The old woman understood at once, and a hint of moisture appeared in her cloudy eyes.
She raised her sleeve to wipe the corners of her eyes, silently opened the big iron gate and invited them in.
Xia Chujian walked in with his classmates.
This orphanage is located in the suburbs of Changliu County, the capital of Zangge Star, but it is not a wealthy suburb where the upper class or rich people live.
But near the desolate and depressed village.
The stone exterior is worn and mottled, covered with vines and moss.
The tall iron gate was rusty, eerie and heavy.
The top of the iron gate is covered with spikes, like javelins, piercing towards the sky.
Each iron rod was decorated with intricate patterns, but it is no longer possible to tell what the patterns were.
There are two symmetrical iron rings on the iron gate, and the surface of the iron rings is also covered with signs of wear and rust, revealing the dark reddish-brown bottom layer.
The bottom of the iron gate, close to the ground, had completely rotted and turned gray-brown. It seemed that if it was kicked casually, this big iron gate would fall down in the wind.
The crooked sign that was about to fall off was hanging on the stone wall to the right of the iron gate.
Between the gray castle-like house of the orphanage and the big iron gate is an abandoned yard.
The ground was overgrown with weeds, and the flower beds on both sides of the bluestone road were abandoned.
The ground was dry and patchy in early summer, but there were still a few unknown egg-yolk-colored wildflowers sticking out from the weeds.
The further you go in, the more the musty and damp smell hits you.
Xia Chujian looked around and couldn't help asking, "Is this an orphanage?"
The old woman nodded silently.
Xia Chujian said: "...Then why didn't I see the child?"
Even if it's a shabby orphanage, the children should be allowed to play in broad daylight, right?
Even in prison, there is time for exercise...
Unexpectedly, the old woman smiled and said, "They've all been taken away... Ever since Ah Mao and Ah Jie... passed away, kind-hearted people have come here and taken all the orphans to the orphanage in the city."
"It's better there. I can eat well, go to school, and I don't have to work all day long."
"Those kids are going to a good place."
Xia Chujian raised an eyebrow, very surprised: "Did he take it away recently?"
The old woman nodded: "Only about ten days."
"They sent Ah Mao and Ah Jie back and gave our orphanage some money, saying it was some kind of pension..."
"I didn't know anything, so I asked if I could use the money to send the children to a better orphanage."
"Besides, I'm old and I don't know when I'll be buried."
"If I leave, what will happen to these children?"
Chen Yanjun was listening quietly at the side, and couldn't help asking, "How did you get by before?"
The old woman sighed and said, "The previous funds have been used up, and the donations from kind-hearted people are getting less and less."
"Later, the orphans grew up and went out to work, and occasionally sent some money back."
"Amao and Ajie were originally the most outstanding orphans in our Gupan Orphanage in hundreds of years."
“They also have deep feelings for this place.”
