Chapter 71: Hidden treasure in the barren land
After hearing what Nina Koda said, Lu Yunying was shocked and horrified. What was shocking was that He Xuelan actually paid for so many orphans and the elderly privately, so that these people could have a shelter from the wind and rain.
What is shocking is that so many orphans have gathered in this desolate place where birds do not poop and chickens do not lay eggs.
"Sister, let's jump rope together."
The two little girls held a rope and pulled Nina Koda's clothes with their faces full of anticipation.
"Okay, sister will jump rope with you. But sister may not be good at jumping, so don't bully me." Nina Koda held the hand of a little girl with a kind smile on her face, just like a big sister.
, the previous cold arrogance has disappeared.
"We will not bully our sister." The little girl said innocently, pulling Nina Koda to the big tree not far away.
The two children were holding the two ends of the rope and shaking it vigorously. As they moved, the rope swayed and drew circles in the air.
Nina Koda jumped up and down in the middle, letting the rope pass under her feet and flash over her head. With a faint smile on her face, she was already mingling with the two children and having a great time.
"Sister, you are so awesome." A little girl said with an innocent face and a childish voice.
Nina Koda smiled faintly, then deliberately stepped on the rope, "My sister is not good at all. Look, you have stepped on the rope now. My sister is out, you do it."
After saying that, she took one end of the rope and shook it gently, letting the little girl jump in the middle.
However, before the little girl could jump many times, she tripped over the rope and almost fell.
"You are so stupid, you are not as powerful as your sister." Another child teased.
Seeing this, Lu Yunying couldn't help but smile, and was a little surprised at the same time. Because Nina Koda was usually cold and cold, but now he was getting into a ball with these innocent children.
Looking around, whether they are children or old people, their faces are full of sunshine and they are full of smiles.
This place doesn't look like a poor orphanage at all, but a playground full of joy.
Lu Yunying moved her gaze to the middle room and saw the solemn faces of He Xuelan and the dean. She couldn't help but become curious: What were they talking about?
After hesitating for a moment, he quietly walked outside the door and watched the two old men playing chess while listening attentively, trying to understand what He Xuelan and the dean were talking about.
"I brought a lot of things. You can ask people to distribute them to everyone later." He Xuelan said with a smile.
"Xiaolan, I'm really grateful to you all these years. Without you, this orphanage would have been destroyed long ago, and these children and the elderly don't know what would have happened." The middle-aged dean said seriously.
"Go and discuss with the Civil Affairs Bureau. This place is dilapidated and must be rebuilt. No matter how much money is needed, I will give it as long as they approve it." He Xuelan's voice was very low, but it was still heard by Lu Yunying outside.
The dean said excitedly: "This is a great thing, and the higher-ups will definitely support it."
He Xuelan smiled with satisfaction and said seriously: "I may have to leave gz later and won't be able to come here often. This card has one million. You can use it to buy some new equipment and invite a few more teachers to come back."
"Thank you, thank you." The dean thanked him repeatedly, with tears in his eyes.
When Lu Yunying heard these words, her admiration for He Xuelan arose spontaneously. These orphans and old people had no relationship with He Xuelan, but she sent money and gifts, and showed such care, which is really rare.
At this time, He Xuelan said again: "By the way, Dean, no one else knows about the boxes of things I shipped last time, right?"
"You told me not to let outsiders know. Of course I will keep your words in mind. Don't worry, the things are still there, intact, and no one has touched them."
"I came here this time to take these things away."
The two walked out of the house.
He Xuelan saw Lu Yunying outside the door, so she smiled and said: "Yunying, come here and help me move some things."
Lu Yunying nodded in agreement and followed He Xuelan and the dean to a small road.
Soon, a one-story bungalow appeared in front of them. The bungalow was very dilapidated, and there were even a few cracks on the walls. The door was also dilapidated and covered with dust, but it was locked, as if no one had been there for a long time.
Went in.
The dean took out a key, opened the dusty lock, and said to He Xuelan: "No one has been here since you put your things here."
She opened the door and let He Xuelan and Lu Yunying in.
It was also full of dust, and there were many spiders on the walls. In the middle, there were three wooden boxes. Each wooden box was nailed very tightly.
"Are these also antiques?" Lu Yunying was shocked when she saw the wooden boxes. These three wooden boxes were exactly the same as the wooden boxes containing cultural relics in the basement.
Therefore, Lu Yunying suspected that these wooden boxes also contained cultural relics.
Just when Lu Yunying was worried, He Xuelan patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "You can carry the three wooden boxes into the car."
"Okay." Lu Yunying nodded, then lifted up a wooden box and shook it gently.
Suddenly there was a sound of "thumping" coming from inside the wooden box, just like the collision of metal.
"Is it really a cultural relic?" Lu Yunying was secretly surprised, then he stacked three wooden boxes on top of each other and carried them out. The three wooden boxes weighed more than a hundred kilograms, but he was a person who had practiced martial arts, so he carried them easily.
In the car, it was not difficult at all.
He Xuelan asked Lu Yunying to stay in the car, keep an eye on the three wooden boxes, and then went into the house with the dean.
Lu Yunying looked around and saw that no one noticed what was going on in the car, so he thought of opening the wooden box. Just now he just suspected that the wooden box contained cultural relics, but he had not seen it with his own eyes, so he wanted to confirm his guess.
There was a nail with a protruding head. He pinched it with two fingers and immediately caught the nail. Then he pulled up hard and pulled out the nail.
There was a slight gap in the lid, and he raised a corner of the lid with his fingers to make the gap a little wider, and he could already see inside the wooden box.
When he looked through the gap, he immediately frowned. Because he saw that inside the wooden box, they were all made of bronze!
"The director said that the cultural relics salvaged in the Nanhai Sea were transported back in two batches, and both batches were robbed. One batch was robbed by a bald man, and these should be the remaining batches.
"The more Lu Yunying thought about it, the more shocked she became, "Did Sister He find someone to kidnap her back? She shouldn't do such a thing, right?"
He quickly knocked the nail back. He knew that the Shaolin Monument Opener had luck in his palm, and the palm was as hard as a stone, so it was easy to knock the nail back.
"Sister He is such a thoughtful person, she actually hid cultural relics worth over 100 million in this remote place. If she didn't tell, no one would know." Lu Yunying began to admire He Xuelan's mind.
At the same time, he still didn't want to believe that He Xuelan had robbed these things. In his heart, He Xuelan was a good person, because He Xuelan opened a welfare home with private money and raised so many orphans and elderly people.
"That's it, I'm going back first. If you have any news, give me a call."
"Okay, I'll give you a call once it's approved."
The dean sent He Xuelan out, his face full of excitement, and he regarded He Xuelan like God.
He Xuelan waved her hands to the children and said with a smile: "You must listen to the dean, my sister has gone back."
"Sister, goodbye."
After Nina Koda waved goodbye to the children, he got into the cab, drove away from the village, and then asked He Xuelan: "Boss, do you really want to spend money to expand this orphanage?"
"They are so pitiful. I just tried my best to help them live a better life." He Xuelan said with a smile.
Lu Yunying asked: "Does it cost a lot to expand the welfare home?"
"If it's just an expansion, it won't cost much, maybe a few million. But after the expansion, there will be a lot of money to follow up." Nina Koda said seriously.
"As long as we can make those children live a better life, no matter how much money we spend, it is worth it. These children are still young, and I don't want them to suffer like I did when I was a child. I can help as much as I can." He Xuelan looked at the car.
The world outside the window has a faint smile on his face.
Because the road was long and bumpy, the speed was not fast. When we returned to gz, it was already past six o'clock in the evening.
The setting sun was blocked by the mountains, and its afterglow was brilliant, dyeing half of the sky red.
The autumn wind is bleak, the fallen leaves are flying, and the clouds are rolling in the sky, forming a colorful picture of autumn colors.
They went directly back to the high-end residential area. Lu Yunying moved three wooden boxes into He Xuelan's room alone.
"It's been a busy day and you're all tired. Go back and rest." He Xuelan said sternly.
Nina Koda nodded and left silently.
But Lu Yunying did not leave. After Nina Koda disappeared, he closed the door directly.
He Xuelan was slightly stunned and asked in confusion: "Yun Ying, are you okay?"
Lu Yunying sat on the sofa, looking at He Xuelan intently, and said solemnly: "Sister He, how did you get these three boxes of things?"
He Xuelan frowned and did not answer.
"Sister He, please listen to what I have to say." Lu Yunying approached He Xuelan, gently took her hand, and said softly: "I hope you will not sell these cultural relics to Japanese people. These are the treasures of our country, China.
Absolutely not sell it to rb people."
After saying that, he gently hugged He Xuelan and stroked her head.
He Xuelan looked hesitant and moved her lips, but there was no sound, as if there was something unspeakable.
"Sister He, promise me, okay?" Lu Yunying asked again in a pleading tone, and then gently touched her face.
He Xuelan's face suddenly darkened, and she revealed a cold aura: "Yun Ying, I hope you won't interfere in my affairs. I have my own discretion in what I do."
