Chapter 79: Abandoned Building No. 7 9 (Kindergarten)
Yili was finally let go by Aunt Chen.
She hurriedly picked up the basket and the small hoe and met Kai Xin who had just woken her up.
Kai Xin was standing at the door of the orphanage when he saw Yi Li coming over. He waved happily, "Come on, Yi Li. I heard from the security guard that it rained in the mountains these days, so there will definitely be a lot of mushrooms. We can have a big harvest today. Aunt Li has already taken them to pick mushrooms, so let's go too. I heard that whoever picks the most will get candy."
"Okay, I got it." Yili nodded, and happily pulled her hand, skipping up the mountain.
The orphanage is located in a remote area halfway up the mountain. It is difficult to travel there on weekdays, and buying daily necessities is also very troublesome. Fortunately, there are many edible things on the mountain, such as mushrooms, wild fruits, and wild vegetables. In order to save living costs, we organize a wild picking event every week to collect edible mountain products to nourish their bodies.
Yili has never been interested in these things. She just wants to use this wasted time to make more money. Once she has money, they won’t have to live so hard.
After walking along the winding mountain road, the two of them finally reached the mountain.
The ubiquitous porcini mushrooms grow everywhere.
Kai Xin's eyes lit up and he said excitedly, "Yili, tonight's candy must be for both of us! We actually found so many mushrooms."
"Yeah." Yili nodded, responding to his excited happiness.
Kai Xin immediately picked up his small hoe and started picking mushrooms.
Yi Li was also picking fruits slowly nearby.
The two of them became more and more addicted to picking, and before they knew it, they had walked deep into the forest.
Yili stood up, looking at the emerald green forest. Looking up, he saw the blue sky covered by dense leaves. He called out to Kaixin, who was picking mushrooms nearby, "We seem to be lost."
"Huh? Really?" Kai Xin looked around and found that the surrounding environment was extremely unfamiliar.
"It's okay, let's go back the way we came. There must still be traces of our footprints and mushrooms."
Kai Xin was a little panicked, but when he looked at Yi Li, who was younger than him, he pretended to be calm and comforted the expressionless Yi Li with a mature look.
Yili: “…Okay.”
The two little kids walked for a long time but still hadn't gotten out of the vast forest.
Kai Xin was already a little scared, tears welled up in her eyes, and she comforted the calm Yi Li with a choked voice: "Yili, don't be afraid, Sister Kai Xin will take you home."
Yili suddenly stopped, pulled Kaixin, and looked at him seriously: "Did you hear any strange noises?"
Kai Xin couldn't hold it in any longer: "Wow, I'm not happy at all. I'm scared. Is there a monster coming to eat us?"
Yi Li: "..."
She patted Happy, who was crying with fear: "It's not a monster, it seems like someone fell into the pit."
Happy sobbed and looked at Yili with red eyes: "Really?"
"Won't you know if you just take a look?" Yi Li said calmly.
"Yili, you are really brave."
Kai Xin looked at Yi Li with admiration.
Yili patted Kaixin's head and said, "Don't be afraid as long as I'm here. I won't let you get hurt."
Kai Xin was quickly coaxed by Yi Li: "Well, I believe Yi Li."
Yi Li walked towards the source of the sound, pushed aside the dense leaves, and saw a gray little boy standing in a big pit. He was grunting as he used a thick branch to dig the earthen wall of the hole.
"What's your name? How did you fall here?" Yi Li stood at the edge of the pit, folding his arms and looking at the little boy who was still working hard below.
Shang Qiyu looked up and saw Yi Li wearing a blue short-sleeved shirt, black trousers, rain boots, and carrying a mushroom basket in his hand.
She looks very much like the girl in the children's song "The Little Girl Picking Mushrooms" that Shang Qiyu had heard before.
Cute, beautiful, and delicate like a doll.
At this moment, he looks more like an angel.
"My name is Shang Qiyu. I can't believe I missed a step and fell down. Can you help me up?"
Shang Qiyu's voice was hoarse, he hadn't had water for a long time.
If he had known that he would get lost and be trapped in this deep pit, he would never have run away from home just because his mother deprived him of his rest time and forced him to learn piano.
He wiped his dusty cheeks and felt like crying, but he held it back because there were strangers watching him here.
Don’t cry, Shang Qiyu, you are a little man.
Yili decisively refused: "No."
"Why?"
"Because I can't do it now. I can't pull you up."
Shang Qiyu panicked immediately after hearing this: "Can you help me call the adults over? I've been trapped here for a long time."
"How long have you been sleepy?"
"long time."
The two asked and answered each other.
Kai Xin, who was standing nearby, looked down curiously and saw Shang Qiyu. His eyes widened immediately. "You're the little boy who came with that wealthy couple to see the dean's wife that day. How did you end up in here?"
Shang Qiyu was a little embarrassed when he was recognized, but he was even more surprised when he looked at Yi Li: "Are you children from the Happy Orphanage?"
"Yes, my name is Kai Xin and her name is Yi Li." Kai Xin introduced herself and Yi Li without any precautions.
Yi Li said cheerfully, "Why should we tell him his name? What if he complains?"
Yili had seen the bad, naughty and arrogant behavior of the young masters and daughters of rich families.
The Happy Orphanage was once prosperous for a period of time. Countless philanthropists invested in the Happy Orphanage in the name of their own children. In order to thank those philanthropists, the director's wife specially arranged a program prepared by the children of the orphanage for these people.
As the one with the most outstanding appearance, Yi Li naturally ranked first.
It was the first time for her to stand on such a big stage, and her performance was captured by countless cameras. She also took photos with those kind-looking philanthropists and those well-mannered young masters and daughters.
But when the cameras were removed, those young masters and daughters who seemed to have excellent family education, in order to satisfy their own evil desires, deliberately threw her most important necklace into the freezing cold lake and forced her to pick it up.
After this scene was secretly filmed and exposed, the philanthropist, in order to preserve his reputation, forced the dean's wife to admit that she accidentally dropped the necklace and then jumped into the lake to pick it up.
And forced her, who was still in the hospital bed, to act out a play with this group of hypocritical people.
Yi Li looked at the little boy in the pit. Even though she didn't like these rich people's children, including the rich people themselves, she still couldn't bear not to save him.
After all, if they didn't rescue him, they would definitely be found out if something happened to him, and then they would be in big trouble.
"I won't make any accusations! When I get out, you can have whatever you want."
"Whatever you want?"
"Of course! I'm the only heir of the Smith family. The entire family belongs to me. There's nothing I can't achieve."
"In that case, then get out now." Yi Li squatted there with a very bad tone.
"This... I can't do it." Shang Qiyu, who was full of confidence just now, immediately blushed and spoke in an embarrassed tone.
