Chapter 485 Suffering
Blind Chen winked at her, and while Shen Changfeng wasn't paying attention, he whispered, "I really can't stand the way he's blackmailing you morally. It's too shameless. I'd really like to teach him a lesson."
Shen Wan did not intervene or say anything. To her, the Shen family was no longer important.
Maybe she would lend a hand when she saw others in trouble, but when it comes to the Shen family, especially Shen Changfeng who had given up on her time and time again, she would not be soft-hearted, nor would she be overly chaste.
Shen Changfeng didn't know that he was holding a soul-calling talisman, and he held the talisman paper tightly.
However, he felt a chill rising from his back, running through his entire body from the soles of his feet.
"Do you feel cold?" When Shen Changfeng said this, cold air came out of his mouth.
Blind Chen's eyes widened when he saw the ghosts appearing behind him, one after another.
When Shen Changfeng saw his sudden change in expression, his heart suddenly shrank, and a strong sense of uneasiness surged from the soles of his feet to the top of his head. His intuition told him that there seemed to be something extra behind him.
His body was stiff, his muscles were as tight as stone, and his neck turned slowly and mechanically.
I saw several children standing quietly behind him, their small figures looking particularly thin in the dim light.
Fortunately, they look normal, with a bit of innocence on their young faces, just like when they were alive.
Shen Changfeng just breathed a sigh of relief, but before he could come to his senses, the children ran through his body like a gust of wind.
At this moment, Shen Changfeng felt a bone-chilling chill running through his entire body, as if he was drenched in ice-cold water.
"Mom Liu!" The children's clear cries echoed in the empty yard.
Liu Yuzhen appeared with a big smile on her face. She was wearing a simple floral dress, her hair was neatly tied behind her head, and her face was filled with a kind smile. She walked among the children and said gently, "Children, uncles and aunts will come to visit us later. What should we do?"
The children immediately cheered and jumped for joy, answering in unison: "Be good!"
“We need to put on a show!”
Shen Wan looked at this seemingly warm scene, but his brows furrowed even deeper.
This scene was just as weird as when he and Li Hanting went to Ghost No. 6 Middle School to find his sister.
The illusion recreated the scenes of the children's lifetime.
It was broad daylight, but the entire orphanage was shrouded in a layer of gray fog and was dead silent.
Looking at the children circling around Liu Yuzhen, she counted them.
All nineteen children were there, including the uncle who was guarding the gate.
Chen Wan glanced at Liu Yuzhen's appearance at this moment. She was exactly the same age as in the photo, which was several years ago.
"There's still one person missing."
Blind Chen: "Lin Lin."
"Xiao Lin!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Liu Yuzhen shouted towards the backyard: "Someone is coming soon, get a bucket of water and clean the swing."
"Okay..." The voice came from the backyard, thin and weak, with a bit of timidity, as if it would be swallowed up by this strange atmosphere at any time.
The three turned their heads when they heard the sound, and saw the small body of Lin Lin, who was only ten years old, slowly walking out from the backyard.
She was pale and thin, with dry and tangled hair that stuck to her scalp without any luster. Her clothes were tattered, had been patched many times, and hung loosely on her body.
What was even more striking was that beneath her slightly rolled-up sleeves, she revealed scars of varying depths.
The new wounds stacked on top of the old ones looked particularly glaring on her tender skin.
Shen Changfeng was shocked and said, "Has this little girl been abused? There are so many wounds on her body. Look at her, she is different from the others! She must have been abused by that mother Liu."
Lin Lin lowered her head, holding the bucket, and walked towards the swing step by step.
She walked slowly and heavily to the swing, slowly put down the bucket, and wiped the swing silently.
Seeing her frail appearance, Liu Yuzhen said helplessly, "Xiao Lin, didn't I buy you new clothes? Why didn't you put them on?"
"You can't do this if you want to be adopted. No one likes a dirty child."
Lin Lin lowered her head even lower and nodded timidly: "Mother Liu, I understand."
"You...ah!" Liu Yuzhen was about to speak, and was pulled away by other children when she wanted to say something else.
Lin Lin looked outside the fence and saw a car parked outside. Her pale and skinny face suddenly darkened and she carried the bucket back to the backyard without saying a word.
Shen Wan followed her, but found that she disappeared after going to the backyard.
Blind Chen guessed: "It seems that we can only see what happened in the front yard."
In the front yard, Liu Yuzhen was arranging clothes for the children. Soon reporters and caring people from the society arrived.
The caring people carried various gifts, including brand new stationery, cute toys, and warm clothes.
The children gathered around them excitedly, chattering non-stop, with innocent smiles on their faces.
Reporters were busy recording this heartwarming scene, with flash cameras flashing continuously.
"Mother Liu, please stand with the children. I will take a family photo for you!"
When the reporter brought it up, he saw Lin Lin sitting alone on the swing and said, "Little boy, come over here and take a photo with us!"
Lin Lin didn't move, but just looked at Liu Yuzhen timidly.
"Why are you looking at me, kid? Come here quickly."
Liu Yuzhen explained somewhat awkwardly: "This child spends the most time with me. She is introverted and rarely plays with others."
Lin Lin walked over, stood in the corner of the first row, and looked at the camera timidly.
The reporter took a photo.
Blind Chen always felt something was wrong, "No, Lin Lin in the photo looked unhappy, that's not the case."
In the photo just taken by the reporter, Lin Lin looked timid, nothing like in the news photos.
Shen Wan looked at Lin Lin in the corner.
The other children went to get their things, and she was the only one who stayed there quietly, looking out the door from time to time, as if she was waiting for someone.
Lin Lin stayed there until it got dark and everyone had left.
Liu Yuzhen couldn't bear to watch it anymore, so she walked over and said, "Xiao Lin, don't wait any longer, go back to the house and have something to eat."
Lin Lin shook her head, clutching the whitened corners of her clothes tightly with both hands, and looked out the door stubbornly.
Liu Yuzhen sighed: "Why are you so stubborn?"
Seeing that she couldn't persuade her anymore, Liu Yuzhen turned around and went back to the house, leaving Lin Lin standing alone in the dark.
When Shen Changfeng saw Lin Lin, he thought of Shen Wan when he was a child.
Xiaowu, are you also as pitiful as this?
As soon as Shen Wan turned around, she saw Shen Changfeng looking at her with a distressed look.
She suddenly felt disgusted and nauseous.
You can tell what he is thinking just by using your toes.
"Xiao Wu, you..."
Shen Changfeng was about to speak when he was interrupted by Blind Chen.
"Look at this!!"
