Chapter 68
You Qing doesn't have much kindness. It's not easy for him to live, so he basically won't interfere with other people.
Ming Qiao was his only exception.
When he heard Ming Qiao say that they wanted to go to the dilapidated temple, he did not object.
"good."
He answered that he would not object to Mingqiao's request as long as it could be done.
There were several brothers who came out with them. Among them, Brother Changfeng was still the leader.
"The Lintian Sect has a charity bureau. Qiao Qiao, if you encounter orphans with no one to take care of them, you can let them live in the charity bureau."
Senior Brother Changfeng heard the conversation between the two kids and spoke up at the right time to give his opinion.
“Salesian Bureau?”
Ming Qiao was a little unfamiliar when he heard this word: "Is there any in the city?"
"have."
Before coming here, Senior Brother Changfeng did some written research on the place he was going to.
He knew all the properties belonging to the Lintian Sect in the city.
In addition to many profitable industries, there are also two non-profit places, one is the Salesian Children's Bureau and the other is the Orphanage Bureau.
The former is for raising abandoned children, and the latter is for caring for the elderly.
“There are these two places in the city, but not many people go there.”
You Qing was from the local area. He looked up and glanced at Senior Brother Changfeng. “The managers of the two places rarely accept orphans who come to them. Someone once left an abandoned baby at the Charity Bureau, but until this abandoned baby died at the door, the Charity Bureau didn’t open its doors.”
"The charity bureau is closed eight out of ten days."
You Qing's explanation made Senior Brother Changfeng and several other senior brothers all change their expressions.
"how so?!"
“How is this possible!!”
Several brothers said at the same time: "The sect allocates a large sum of money to the Charity Bureau every year. This money is for them to help orphans. How can they not even open the door!"
You Qing ignored the anger and confusion of his fellow brothers.
He only told what he knew, and the rest was none of his business.
Ming Qiao sat on the cloud, raised his little face, and also looked at his fellow brothers.
According to the original plan, they entered the city and were going to stay in their own restaurant in the city.
But after listening to You Qing's explanation of the situation at the Children's Affairs Bureau, they changed their minds.
They decided to settle down at the Salesian Bureau.
In order to confirm that what You Qing said was true, several senior brothers all looked at Ming Qiao.
"Qiao Qiao, I have a small temporary task for you!"
"Jojo got it!"
Upon hearing that there was a new task, Ming Qiao immediately stood up from the cloud, with a chubby face, waiting for his senior brother to give him the task.
Go out to do tasks and you can get rewards when you come back.
On Mingqiao's waist, there is a small task tag issued by the Deacon Hall!
"Your mission is to cooperate with the brothers and sisters to investigate whether the Salesian Bureau has refused to accept orphans, and whether they are corrupt."
"good!"
Ming Qiao nodded seriously, touched the small sign and promised to complete the task.
You Qing was not from the Lintian Sect, so the senior brothers naturally ignored him and did not assign him any tasks.
soon.
There was a knock on the door of the Salesian Bureau at the northeast corner of the city street.
The knocking on the door lasted for half an hour.
The Salesian Bureau had not heard such persistent knocking on the door for a long time.
The person inside wanted to ignore it at first, but the knock on the door showed no sign of him responding.
They endured the annoyance of the noise and listened for a while longer.
Finally, someone spoke up: "Go open the door and see who that stubborn guy is. He's really annoying."
"By the way, if it's a little beggar who comes to seek refuge, chase him away."
"We already have children in the Salesian Bureau, so we don't need new ones."
So far, there are about ten children in the Salesian Bureau.
These ten or so children all lived in a dormitory in one room. They could just get enough food to eat and not starve to death.
The person in charge of the Charity Bureau took them in not out of kindness, but to use them as a cover to continue to ask for money from his superiors.
"I'll go check it out."
The man in charge of sweeping the floor took a broom and walked towards the door.
The door is open.
The man saw the child standing at the door.
The child was wearing tattered clothes and his hands and face were dirty.
He is small, like a carrot head.
The man took one look and knew that the child in distress was begging for food.
"Go, go, stay away from here."
The man had no sympathy for the child who came to his door. He waved his broom and drove him away mercilessly, saying, "This is not the place for you. Go beg somewhere else if you want to."
"I'm here to eat."
Ming Qiao, who was disguised as a poor little boy, pointed at the sign of the Charity Bureau hanging on the door and said in a soft voice, "The Charity Bureau is a place that takes in children."
"Oh, you know quite a lot, and you even know that this is the Salesian Bureau."
The man laughed, but there was no kindness in his laugh.
He followed the direction Ming Qiao pointed and took a look at the sign.
"This is the Salesian Bureau, yes, but they don't take in children anymore."
"Get out of here now, or you'll get beaten."
"I'm not leaving. I want to live here."
Ming Qiao was threatened with a beating and had no intention of leaving.
The man blocked the door.
Ming Qiao rushed forward with his short legs.
"You little debt collector, I'm talking to you nicely, but you don't understand, right?! Get out of here now! Or I'll beat you to death and throw you out!"
"Hiss, you dare to bite me!"
The location of the charity bureau is not too remote, and it is morning now, which is the time when people come and go to the market.
The commotion Ming Qiao made at the entrance of the orphanage soon attracted many people to stop and watch.
The crowd was talking about it, and someone couldn't help but sigh when they learned that there was a child who insisted on living in the Salesian Center.
"This child must have nowhere else to turn to, so he came here for help."
"How pitiful! I thought the Salesian Bureau would take him in."
"Who says it's not true? Children are young and too naive."
"This charity bureau is just a decoration. I heard that this is just a show put on by Lintian Sect to make everyone think that Lintian Sect has a kind heart."
The voices in the crowd were all heard by several senior brothers standing not far away.
They suppressed their anger and recorded this scene.
These will be used as evidence to hold the Salesian Bureau accountable later.
Mingqiao couldn't get through the door no matter what.
He turned around and was about to look for his senior brother when a pair of patrolmen came to the street.
The patrols were conducted by local soldiers.
Mingqiao rushed over, raised his little hands and complained.
"The Salesian Bureau is a lie. They don't allow children to stay there."
The officers and soldiers shook their heads at the child who was complaining, "This is not our business. The Charity Bureau was established by the Lintian Sect and is not under the jurisdiction of the court."
Ming Qiao: “…”
Ming Qiao had no choice.
He looked at the crowd, and after seeing his senior brothers putting away the balls that recorded things, he knew that the evidence had been collected.
After collecting the evidence, he no longer had to act pitiful.
He walked back to the door of the Orphanage and raised his chin towards the man who had just hit him with a broom.
"I won't pretend anymore."
"I am actually from the Lintian Sect."
"Just now, I came to test you to see if you are irresponsible."
"Now the test is over, you are doomed!"
After Ming Qiao finished speaking, the man holding the broom was startled at first, and then he bent over with laughter.
"Little debt collector, you're quite dramatic."
"You're from the Lintian Sect, why don't you say you're from the Shenxian Sect? It really makes me laugh to death. You're so young, but you're really good at making people laugh."
"I'm not kidding, I really am from the Lintian Sect!"
Ming Qiao put his hands on his waist and told the man in front of him fiercely: "Let the manager come out, this place is under my control now."
When the man heard this, he laughed again. He hadn't had such a lot of fun in a long time.
After laughing enough, he held the broom and stood up straight.
"Come on, stop teasing me here. You can't come in here."
The man didn't want to say anything more to him and turned around to close the door.
Before closing the door, the man brought in a dog, a big black dog that was taller than Ming Qiao.
The big dog was fat and strong. It bared its teeth and growled at Ming Qiao with a fierce look in its eyes.
Mingqiao is a little afraid of dogs.
His chubby little legs trembled and he took two steps back.
"If you dare to knock on the door again, I will let Dahei tear you to pieces."
After the man finished speaking, he shook the dog leash in his hand as a threat.
The passers-by who were originally watching were so scared when they saw the black dog that they all ran away.
Chang Feng heard these people whisper before they ran away -
"The Charity Bureau is such a jerk. This black dog had previously bitten a beggar to death, and they actually took the dog back to raise it!"
"I think if this kid doesn't run away, he will end up like that beggar!"
"Let's stay away, this dog is really scary."
A big black dog scared away all the onlookers.
Although these people ran, they didn't run very far. They hid not far away, and after feeling that this distance was safe, they continued to stand and watch the show.
Black dogs are scary, but we can’t leave out the melons.
The crowd gathered at the door and left, and the space behind Ming Qiao suddenly became empty.
In this empty space, Senior Brother Changfeng and the others standing there were very eye-catching.
When Changfengling goes out on a mission, the itinerary is kept confidential throughout.
Ming Qiao's cultivation speed was so amazing that the Lintian Sect intended to keep this matter secret.
So, when they brought Mingqiao out, no one knew their destination or the task they were going to perform.
"Jojo."
Senior Brother Changfeng, who had seen enough, walked over and held the cub, who was afraid of the big dog, in his arms: "Don't be afraid, Senior Brother, get rid of this dog immediately. This vicious dog has killed people, and we can't keep it here any longer."
With his senior brother around, Ming Qiao's little fear immediately disappeared.
He nodded and agreed, "Bad dog, don't keep it!"
Mingqiao likes cats and dogs. If there are stray cats and dogs, he will feed them some food.
What he doesn't like are bad dogs that harm people.
Changfeng picked up Mingqiao, wiped his face with his hand, and glanced at the vicious dog and the man behind the door.
He was not wearing ragged clothes like Ming Qiao.
He was wearing the uniform of an inner disciple of Lintian Sect, and had a badge of Lintian Sect hanging around his waist.
This outfit, and this waist badge...
All genuine.
The man was holding the dog, confused.
He stared blankly at Changfeng and the other Lintian Sect disciples beside Changfeng.
After watching for a few seconds, he suddenly woke up as if from a dream and came back to his senses.
After coming to his senses, his first reaction was not to greet or beg for mercy.
His first reaction was to close the door with trembling hands.
"Unrepentant thing!"
Changfeng's direct junior brother Changmeng could no longer tolerate it.
Seeing the man closing the door, he kicked it angrily, breaking it into pieces.
The man didn't know whether he was scared or did it on purpose.
He loosened the dog leash and let the vicious dog pounce on Chang Meng.
Chang Meng didn't let it go. He just grabbed the dog's head with his bare hands and threw it to the side.
When Chang Meng took action, Chang Feng raised his hand and covered Ming Qiao's eyes.
Soon, the vicious dog died on the ground, and the man was kicked by Chang Meng and cried out in pain.
With Chang Meng leading the way, Chang Feng carried Ming Qiao and walked into the Charity Bureau.
There is a large yard inside, and some toys that are obviously for children to play with.
But anyone with sufficient vision can tell that these toys have never been played with by children.
The iron nails on it were all rusted.
"Manager, get out of here."
Chang Meng had a bad temper. He had a sullen face and was yelling in the yard.
He was shouting, and Ming Qiao was turning his little face around and looking around.
"Brother, put me down."
Ming Qiao didn't want to be carried anymore, so he twisted his butt and asked his senior brother to put him down.
He had good eyesight and noticed that there was a pair of eyes looking at him from behind the crack of a small door.
He ran towards the small door.
You Qing followed him behind.
"Qiao Qiao, run slower."
"I know I won't fall—"
Before he could finish his words, Ming Qiao fell heavily at the door.
There is a threshold at the door, which you won't notice unless you look carefully.
Ming Qiao fell too fast, and when You Qing rushed over, it was too late.
He picked up the baby who had fallen face down, and his usually calm voice was filled with a hint of urgency: "Let me see, Qiao Qiao, let me see your face."
Ming Qiao raised her little face, tears in her eyes.
The corner of his eye hit the bump and broke the skin a little.
You Qing didn't dare to touch his wound, so he could only turn around and call his senior brother.
The accompanying senior brother Yunze is a medical practitioner, and he is walking towards this side.
"Let me take a look."
Senior Brother Yunze held Mingqiao's little face in his hands and sighed distressedly: "Be more careful when you walk next time. You can't let such a pretty face get disfigured by falling."
He squatted down and applied some medicine to the corners of Mingqiao's eyes.
"Xiao You, please watch him carefully and don't let him touch the wound again. It will be healed by tomorrow morning."
Yunze’s medicine will not leave any scars.
You Qing thanked him, then held Ming Qiao's hand, not daring to let him go alone.
They walked together to the wicket.
Senior Brother Yunze also noticed that there was someone in the door.
He was about to break in the door like Chang Meng did, but was stopped by Ming Qiao.
"There are children inside."
Ming Qiao said softly: "Don't scare them."
Yunze: “…”
Yunze stopped moving.
Ming Qiao politely clenched his fists and knocked them twice.
"Hello, my name is Ming Qiao, I'm here to see you."
"The bad guys in the Charity Bureau have all been dealt with by my senior brother. You can live a good life from now on."
Maybe children can communicate better with each other.
At Mingqiao's request, the small door was opened after a while.
As soon as the small door opened, Ming Qiao smelled an unpleasant odor.
It's the smell of shit and urine.
He looked around the small room and found that it didn't even have a window.
There were several children sitting on the bunk bed.
The youngest child is still in swaddling clothes.
Ming Qiao walked over and saw that these children had dull eyes. They did not have any of the spirit that children should have.
"elder brother."
Ming Qiao only called out once, and You Qing knew what he meant.
The two of them took out their clothes.
These children's clothes haven't been washed for a long time and they smell.
Yunze closed the door, walked forward, cleaned them, and put on the clothes provided by Mingqiao and You Qing.
Mingqiao brought a lot of things when he went out, and it was a good thing that he brought a lot, because many of the things he brought could be used by the child.
Clothes and food.
These kids are in need.
I don’t know how long it took, but the child, who was being manipulated by them like a puppet, was clean and full.
Their dead eyes finally regained a bit of luster after they had enough to eat and drink.
Even the baby in the cradle finally had the strength to roll its eyes and smiled at Ming Qiao.
"You guys, are you really from the Lintian Sect?"
"Um!"
Ming Qiao held the little kid's hand and coaxed him while saying to the kid who was asking the question, "Lintian Sect has always given money to the Charity Bureau. If they take the money and don't take good care of the children, they will be punished."
"Thanks."
A group of children who were afraid to speak finally spoke at this moment.
They thanked Ming Qiao.
Two older boys asked Ming Qiao, "What do we need to do to join the Lintian Sect?"
"Well, it will be spicy if you test it."
Ming Qiao patiently chatted with the children who were slowly starting to talk. Senior Brother Yunze saw that the children were staying together and did not disturb them.
By the time Mingqiao got along well with a group of kids in the small house, all the managers and persons in charge outside were tied up by Changmeng.
After taking care of the Charity Bureau for Children, Chang Meng took two of his brothers with him to the Charity Bureau for Orphans.
It took more than a day to take care of the two places.
Mingqiao and his fellow brothers also stayed at the Charity Bureau.
Chang Meng distributed porridge in front of the orphanage, and the recipients were all little beggars on the street.
After attracting these little beggars, they announced at the door that the person in charge of the orphanage had been changed, and from now on, all these homeless children could live there.
At first, no children dared to live there.
Later, they might have been hungry again, or frozen at night, and they had to be brave in order to survive.
They moved in with trepidation.
Then, they didn’t want to leave.
The Salesian Bureau hired teachers to teach reading and writing, as well as other skills.
Here, you can eat well, wear warm clothes, sleep well, and learn a skill.
Mingqiao was walking with so many children at the orphanage that she almost didn't want to leave.
Fortunately, he did not forget that he had to come out to catch the devil!
It's late at night and everyone is asleep.
Mingqiao was walking outside alone, yawning.
This time he is not dressed as a little beggar.
He was wearing simple clothes, nothing fancy, but he was definitely not a beggar.
He walked from the street to the suburbs, rubbing his eyes from time to time, and called out in a sticky baby voice: "Daddy!"
"Mother!"
He kept shouting all the way and looked like a lost child.
Changfeng and Youqing were both in the dark, watching quietly.
They are all waiting.
While they were waiting, several dark shadows were already spinning back and forth in excitement.
"He's alone!"
"He's lost. It's easy for a kid like him to get lost."
"Children love to play the most. He must be playing."
"Hurry up, take him away, this way Hun Yi's fear of him will be completely resolved."
"Yes, take him away."
Several black shadows had just chased and locked onto Ming Qiao, their shadows twisting in excitement.
They quickly agreed to kidnap Mingqiao.
Mingqiao continued walking.
When he yawned for the fourth time, he saw the dark shadows.
Those dark shadows looked pretty scary.
Ming Qiao stood still, tilted his head, and there was a hint of confusion in his bright round dark eyes.
“No.”
He murmured that these didn't look like the big demons he wanted to catch.
The big demon he wanted to catch was the Heart-Eating Demon, ranked thirteenth on the Hundred Demons Chart.
The heart-eating demon is neither male nor female and is fond of eating fresh hearts, especially those of women and children.
His most recent sighting was here.
Ming Qiao came out specifically to catch him.
This is how Ming Qiao caught the demon during the last mission!
Senior Brother Changfeng said that he looks fair and tender, which might be a bit to the devil's taste.
When demons see him, they all want to take a bite of him.
When Ming Qiao heard what Senior Brother Chang Feng said, he rolled up his arms proudly and praised himself, "I'm fat and delicious!"
Look, this delicious kid, this time when he goes on a mission, he shows up again to seduce us!
The author has something to say:
Baby: Fishing! Fishing!
