At this time, an old man walking his dog passed by. It was obvious that he lived nearby, so Mo Laishi went up to him and asked.
"Hello, old man, I'd like to ask why this welfare home is closed?"
The old man glanced at Mo Laishi and felt that he looked unfamiliar, so he sighed and said, "You are not from here, are you? This welfare home closed down half a year ago. I heard that the director here had a strange disease, and there were not many people donating to the welfare home this year, so it closed down."
"Then do you know where the dean here has gone?" Morais asked.
"How would I know? But you can go to the Fu Ji Grain and Oil Shop on the next street and ask. The owner there delivers grain and oil regularly, and he should know the dean here," said the old man.
"Okay, thank you."
After thanking the old man, Mo Laishi left.
He came to the next street and found the Fu Ji Grain and Oil Shop that the old man mentioned, and Mo Laishi walked in.
The light inside was dim, and a bald uncle wearing reading glasses was reading a newspaper.
Mo Laishi came in and asked directly, "Hello, do you know the director of the Renai Welfare Home on the next street?"
The bald uncle looked at Mo Laishi over the top of his reading glasses and asked, "Who are you? What do you want from her?"
Mo Laishi could tell that the other party's tone was a little unfriendly. Although he didn't know why, Mo Laishi still explained: "Please don't misunderstand, I am a Chinese medicine doctor. I heard that Dean Shen was sick, so I wanted to go and help her treat her."
The bald uncle was very cautious and said in disbelief, "You are a Chinese medicine doctor at such a young age? Are you kidding me?"
“I’m really a Chinese medicine practitioner.”
Mo Laishi knew that words were useless, so he had no choice but to take out the silver needle and his medical qualification certificate.
The bald uncle looked at the two things, and then asked doubtfully, "Can you cure A-Di's illness?"
A-di?
When Mo Laishi heard the bald uncle address Dean Shen, he was basically certain that he knew the other party.
"We'll have to go and see for sure." Mo Laishi said with a harmless smile.
The bald uncle thought for a while, then said, "Come with me."
As he said this, he pulled down the iron gate of the grain and oil shop and left with Morais.
After walking for less than ten minutes, the two arrived in front of an old tenement building and went straight to the third floor.
The bald uncle knocked on a big iron door on the third floor. After a while, the iron door was opened and a little head poked out.
"Uncle Peng, you're here." A childish voice came out.
The bald uncle touched the child's head and said with a smile: "Xiao Hai, Uncle Peng brought a doctor to see the dean. Please open the door."
"Okay." Xiao Hai responded obediently and opened the iron gate completely.
Morais followed the bald uncle in and immediately smelled a faint musty smell.
It was a small house with very old furniture and decorations, but it was very clean.
But what surprised Morais the most was that there were twelve children in the living room.
The oldest is only thirteen or fourteen years old, and the youngest can't even walk.
The older children are helping the younger ones with reading and writing, while the oldest child is busy in the kitchen, probably cooking.
They were all very well-behaved, no fighting, no chasing.
Although they live in such a small house, they manage to stay organized and take care of each other.
When the bald uncle came in, the children greeted him one after another. It was obvious that Uncle Peng was very familiar with these children.
The bald uncle responded one by one, then sighed and said to Morais, "These are the remaining children in the orphanage. Many have been adopted or sent to other orphanages, but the remaining ones refused to leave and said they wanted to stay and take care of A-Di. They are all good children."
Mo Laishi nodded when he heard this, but didn't say anything.
The bald uncle took Morales to a room and opened the door. He saw a middle-aged woman with a pale face and chapped lips lying on the bed.
This person is exactly the director of the Renai Welfare Home that Mo Laishi is looking for, Shen Zhaodi.
"Feng Mao, you're here." When Shen Zhaodi saw the bald uncle, she struggled to sit up.
The bald uncle Peng Fengmao quickly stepped forward to support Shen Zhaodi and said anxiously, "Adi, don't move, just lie down."
Shen Zhaodi lay down again and said weakly, "Feng Mao, if it weren't for your help during this period, I and these children really don't know what to do. Thank you for your hard work."
"Hey, why are you saying this again? We have known each other for so many years. Isn't it my duty to help you? Just rest and recuperate. Once you recover, everything will be fine." Peng Fengmao comforted.
Chen Zhaodi and Peng Fengmao have been friends for many years. Ever since Shen Zhaodi got this strange disease, Peng Fengmao has been taking care of her and the remaining children, and also delivers supplies here regularly.
This house was also rented by Peng Fengmao. Although it is not big, it is at least a place to live.
This means that during this six months, Peng Fengmao supported more than a dozen people by himself.
"By the way, this gentleman is a doctor. He said he wants to help you." Peng Fengmao pointed at Mo Laishi.
Mo Laishi stepped forward, smiled at Shen Zhaodi and said, "Dean Shen, hello, my name is Mo Laishi, I am Yun Qingzi's apprentice, and this time I am here to treat you on the orders of my master."
"Are you Taoist Yun's disciple? How did he know I was sick?" Shen Zhaodi looked surprised.
"Yes, let's talk about other things later. Let me understand your condition first." As Morais said this, a blue light invisible to ordinary people appeared in his eyes.
