Chapter 63 New Year's Eve

The three of them remained silent.

Finally, the girl stood up and said, "Sister, we are staying in the military guesthouse. You are a member of the army. You did not bring us back to use us as experiments. You are all good people. But sister, what should we do next? Where should we go?"

"Do you still remember your name?" Ye Qinglan asked back.

Mr. Xiao initially found eight children and numbered them, from one to eight, according to their age.

The girl in front of me is thirteen years old and her name is Xiaoqi.

The other two boys were named Xiaosi and Xiaowu.

Everyone else died and their bodies were buried in Malangshan. It is impossible to verify where their hometown is.

Xiao Qi nodded: "I was already nine years old when I went up the mountain. My hometown is Jiang Province. I have younger brothers and sisters at home, and my parents are still alive."

"You want to go home?"

Ye Qinglan thought she wanted to go home because she said so much, but Xiao Qi shook her head: "I don't want to go home. I want to follow you like Sister Weiwei. Is that okay?"

Weiwei was sitting there eating popcorn with a bag of honey fried dough twist on her lap. The injury she suffered during the day was nothing to her. On the way back from the institute in the evening, she was almost drooling at the fried dough twist in the store.

Wen Yan said, "I don't always follow my sister. I really want to follow her, but I don't know how to do anything. If I follow her, I will cause trouble for her. Right, sister?"

Ye Qinglan chuckled. Although the girl was a tiger, she was not stupid. She had already guessed that she would have a new destination.

These kids are not stupid. We took an IQ test this afternoon, and each of them scored above the average. Even Xiaowu and Xiaoqi are among the high IQ ones.

"Weiwei is right." Ye Qinglan turned around and rubbed Xiaoqi's head with his hand: "Xiaoqi, do you really want to follow me?"

Xiao Qi nodded vigorously.

Ye Qinglan then asked the other two people: "Do you want to do it too?"

The fourth and fifth children nodded in unison.

Xiao Si said anxiously: "I was eight years old when I was arrested. I studied before my mother died. Later, my mother died and my father married a new wife. It would be better if I didn't go home."

Xiaowu: "I also went to school before my parents died, and I went to the mountains when I was nine years old. Mr. Xiao arrested children who were not valued by their families. Even if such people were lost, their families would not look for them carefully. After my parents died, I lived with my aunt, and my uncle always disliked me for eating for free at their house."

One night, the family cooked braised pork, and he couldn't help but use his chopsticks. He was then beaten by his uncle, so he ran away from home and was caught on the mountain.

Xiao Qi pursed her lips. She had never been to school. Only when Mr. Xiao's wife was alive did she teach her to read for one year. After her death, no one taught her anymore.

Looking at it this way, it seemed that she really couldn't follow her sister. She couldn't do anything and couldn't help feeling frustrated.

Ye Qinglan thought for a moment and put his arm around her shoulders:

"Xiao Qi, you really can't follow me now. First of all, you have to finish your studies, and secondly, you have to learn how to protect yourself. You also understand your own situation, and you can't do without self-protection methods. You just asked me what to do next. Next, we will send you to a place where you can learn. As for whether you can follow me in the future-"

Xiao Qi's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he asked anxiously, "What about the future?"

"I remember that you can shatter cups and glass from a distance. If you can master this ability, to the point where you can shatter glass whenever you want, instead of having to use some tricks to stimulate you, then if you still want to follow me, I'll transfer you over. How about that?"

Xiao Qi immediately stretched out her finger: "Let's pinky promise."

Ye Qinglan looked at her, reached out and pulled her up, and the little girl giggled happily.

Ye Qinglan found it strange to see how happy she was, and didn't understand why she insisted on following him.

In fact, Xiao Qi's idea is simple and complicated. It is simple because Ye Qinglan saved her, she believes in Ye Qinglan, and wants to repay Ye Qinglan. It is complicated because she is still young and knows that a girl like her has no future if she returns home. She wants to stay. After staying, going anywhere else is not as good as staying with Ye Qinglan.

Then he said to the fourth and fifth children, "It's the same for you."

Weiwei glanced at them and thought, I will definitely follow my sister anyway.

Afterwards, Ye Qinglan briefly told them what kind of place they were about to go to.

We cannot allow people to enter without knowing the reason, because if they do, their loyalty will not be high.

If they don't want to go after hearing this, they can only choose another place.

Fortunately, all three of them were willing to go. Weiwei also raised her hand after hearing this: "Why am I not included? I want to go too."

Ye Qinglan asked: "Of course you are one of them. But you have to leave tomorrow."

Children over the age of sixteen will not be sent to the base. I heard that this rule was made by the person who first established the secret training base. The secret base is different from the ordinary training base. The training inside is very comprehensive.

Weiwei is sixteen now, and will be seventeen after the Chinese New Year. If she is one day late, she will have to find someone to make an exception.

Weiwei exclaimed, "So fast?"

She wanted to stay with her sister for two more days.

Suddenly she felt very anxious, but she really wanted to go to the base. It sounded like a place where she could learn skills. She also wanted to learn well so that she could follow her sister in the future.

He stopped eating popcorn and twisted dough sticks. He walked around the house with his hands on his hips, shaking until Ye Qinglan's head hurt.

Half an hour later, she squatted down in front of Ye Qinglan: "Then you can send me away tomorrow." She grabbed Ye Qinglan's hand and rubbed it on her face: "Parting is for a better reunion. When I come back, I want to stand in Brother Xiao Chen's position and be your most loyal assistant."

Xiao Chen, who had been in the house without saying anything, said: "..."

I thought you were going to say, when you come back, you will become king, but it turns out you were going to drive me away???

What a bad boy this is!!!

Ye Qinglan tapped her forehead and said, "Then you have to work hard. Your brother Xiao Chen is not an ordinary person. He is very outstanding."

"I'm not an ordinary person either." Weiwei said as a matter of course.

Ye Qinglan was amused by her.

That's how it was settled.

The four children have to be sent to four different bases and cannot be placed together. If they are placed together, they will inevitably discuss their respective special abilities.

Weiwei went to the northern base, Xiaosi went to the west, Xiaowu went to the south, and Xiaoqi went to the east.

Weiwei left the next morning. Xiao Chen brought people to see her off because he was familiar with the place.

When she left, she grabbed Ye Qinglan and cried loudly.

Until Xiao Chen said: "You will never surpass me if you keep crying like this. I have never cried since I was conscious."

He knew the girl's special ability, so he was not afraid! He could fight back!

Weiwei wiped away her tears instantly, grabbed her luggage and got into the car, not forgetting to glance at Xiao Chen.

Xiao Chen: “…”

On New Year's Eve, we bid farewell to the old and ushered in the new. Ye Qinglan did not have a family reunion this year as he did not go home, but he was still happy to spend the time with everyone in the army.
