They did have many doubts, but they didn't dare to ask Su Yang. They just followed behind him, helping to carry the two large bags of things, and slowly walked towards the dilapidated buildings ahead.
This is a very old-fashioned area. The buildings here are even older than those in their camp. There are many potholes and gravel roads on the ground. Only a few steps on the left and right sides are flat cement. Even this road can only accommodate two motorcycles side by side at most. If a car wants to come in and another car is coming out, it will be completely blocked.
In short, the evaluation of this place can be summed up in two words.
desolate.
Almost all the shops around were closed. Not far away, there was a public phone booth with an old man sitting inside. He sat there like an ancient tree, leaning on his cane and not moving. He just sat there quietly.
Ye Feng felt a chill run down his spine about this road and couldn't help but look at Qin Shaoyu, saying, "Is there really an orphanage here? This place is so desolate..."
After thinking for a moment, Qin Shaoyu said, "Because the prices here are cheap."
Ye Feng's lips twitched. It seemed like there was nothing wrong with him.
After walking for a short while, we soon saw several dusty and rickety signs hanging above an iron gate. The words "Hope Home" could be vaguely made out on the signs.
The four characters looked worn and dilapidated, with many of the characters already fallen off. They could only make them out because they knew about this orphanage.
Su Yang pulled open the old iron gate. The lock on the gate was rusty and could be easily cut with a sharp object. The situation inside the orphanage was equally bad.
This place can hardly be called an orphanage, because there is only one building here. Even if there is a front yard, it is the kind that can be seen at a glance. The area is so small that it is hard to imagine that this place was once an orphanage!
At this moment, Su Yang noticed a little girl standing to the side. She was holding a patched rag doll in her left hand and watering the flowers and plants around her with a worn-out kettle in her right hand. Surprisingly, the flowers and plants were growing quite well.
Their arrival clearly caught the little girl's attention. When she saw Su Yang, she immediately became wary, put down the kettle, and backed away, her eyes filled with repulsion.
Seeing this, Qin Shaoyu forced a smile and said, "Little sister, don't be afraid. We're not bad people. We're here to deliver something to you."
As they spoke, Qin Shaoyu and Ye Feng took out some of the things they were holding, looking just like evil uncles trying to abduct girls.
Seeing this, the little girl became even more vigilant.
Su Yang shook his head speechlessly, then looked at the little girl and said, "Don't be afraid, we are Bai Yifei's good friends. Bai Yifei often mentions you to me. That's why we brought so many snacks for you and your friends. Aren't you happy!"
Upon hearing that he was Bai Yifei's friend, the little girl's wariness vanished instantly, replaced by a happy smile.
The little girl smiled and said, "So you're Brother Bai's friends! Brother Bai has been bringing back a lot of people he doesn't know lately, are you the same?"
Ye Feng and Qin Shaoyu exchanged a glance, and finally looked at Su Yang.
Su Yang said calmly, "Of course, we're here to discuss some things with him. I wonder if you could ask Brother Bai to come out and meet us? Oh, and by the way, please have your friends take these snacks back and share them."
Upon hearing that snacks would be shared, the little girl became even happier, repeatedly saying "right away," and skipped and hopped inside while clutching her doll.
Seeing this, Ye Feng asked with some reluctance, "Brother Su, you're not planning to use these children to blackmail Bai Yifei, are you?"
Su Yang turned to look at Ye Feng: "Do I look like such a despicable and shameless person?"
The two of them agreed, thinking that such methods were unnecessary in dealing with Bai Yifei.
What's the point of them doing this?
Is this really a community outreach effort?
Before long, many children came running out with smiling faces. When they saw so many toys and snacks, they were all shocked and exclaimed in amazement. It was clear how hard their lives were here.
Then they hurriedly helped carry the large bags. Despite their young age, they were quite efficient in getting things done.
As they carried their things inside, several children kindly pulled the three of them inside, calling them "brother" repeatedly, which made them feel very comfortable.
In that instant, Ye Feng and his companion thought that doing good deeds occasionally seemed quite nice.
Upon entering, the first thing I saw was a large table. Apart from some empty storage cabinets, everything around it was completely empty. It seems that when the orphanage abandoned this place, they even took all the valuables with them. Even the large table in the middle was probably left here because they couldn't take it with them.
It's worth mentioning that although there are very few items here, the space is large, and areas that would normally easily accumulate dust are very clean.
It's clear that the children living here also consider this place their home, keeping it spotless.
At this moment, a boy of about twelve or thirteen years old smiled and said to Zi Suyang, "Brother, wait here for a little while. Xiaolu has gone to call Brother Bai. He should be down soon."
Su Yang smiled faintly: "No rush, you go and play with them too, we'll just wait here."
The boy nodded emphatically and quickly joined his friends to eat, drink, and play together.
A happy atmosphere permeated the dilapidated orphanage.
A short while later, the sound of Xiaolu's footsteps echoed from upstairs as she lightly descended the stairs. Seeing her friends sharing snacks, she quickened her pace even further.
At the same time, two figures slowly walked down from upstairs.
Ye Feng and Qin Shaoyu immediately recognized the two of them.
Bai Yifei and Mo Yan!
At this moment, Bai Yifei had a very warm smile on his face. When he saw that it was Su Yang, the smile on his face froze instantly. Meanwhile, Mo Yan put his hand on his waist.
Suddenly, Xiaolu appeared from below, holding up several chocolates and handing them to Bai Yifei and Mo Yan. She smiled and said, "Brother Bai, Brother Mo, these three brothers bought so many good things, including chocolates! Here, one for each of you, so you can all have some!"
Mo Yan did not answer.
Instead, Bai Yifei smiled and took the snacks from Xiao Lu's hands, ruffling her hair and saying, "Of course! These three older brothers are very capable! I'll be going out with them later to discuss some important matters. You guys stay here and eat your snacks, and don't wander off, okay?"
Xiaolu nodded emphatically.
Bai Yifei smiled, then patted Mo Yan on the shoulder and pressed down his restless hand.
Bai Yifei then looked at Su Yang and said, "Good brother! You've been wanting to see me so much after just a few days? Come on, I know a nice place. Let's go grab a drink, eat, and talk, how about it?"
As he spoke, he grabbed Su Yang's arm and smiled, acting as if they were real brothers.
