Two days have passed, and there is still no news about Grandma Zhang. I am really worried that the police will convict her of some crime.

And poor little Ning Yan, I don't dare to let myself think of him. He just left without a sound, and his body is still lying in that cold, unfamiliar place, unable to return home.

Our hearts are heavy and we feel like we are in a frying pan every moment.

The younger children were always crying and fussing, and I saw that my grandfather really couldn't take care of him. He refused to go back to school no matter what. He only asked Shui Baixia to go back first and asked him to wait. I would tell him immediately if there is any news.

That night Huang Xiaosan and the little old lady came to see me. Huang Xiaosan had recovered his appearance as a handsome man, but he still looked very tired. His face was frighteningly cold. Although he didn't blame me, he ignored me all the time.

I heard the little old lady said that they were waiting for me in the woods last time. They waited all day and night. Then they looked everywhere for me but couldn't find me.

.

After listening to my grandpa and I talking about what happened here, the little old lady couldn't hold back her anger: "I'm going to rescue your grandma Zhang right now. It's really annoying. How can a good person still suffer such injustice? And

Please tell me where the child’s body is?”

The little old lady said that she was about to take action, and Huang Xiaosan was also about to leave. Grandpa hurriedly stopped them and said that this must not be done.

Huang Xiaosan and the little old lady looked puzzled.

"Ha! This is human beings! They are not as capable as you, but they are much more complicated than you. You can do whatever you want, but we can't..." I now feel that the world of goblins is much simpler than that of humans.

Huang Xiaosan punched the palm of his other hand, looking very angry. The little old lady began to walk around the room anxiously.

There is no other way but to wait...

Several days later, there was finally news about Mrs. Zhang, and the police acquitted her. Because after the autopsy, Ning Yan died of natural causes, no injuries were found on her body, and there were no poisons in her body, so the case of Grandma Zhang was cancelled.

suspected of torture or killing.

Ning Yan's body was also allowed to be claimed by the orphanage.

Although we breathed a sigh of relief, the grief in our hearts did not weaken at all. Especially when we saw Grandma Zhang looking so emaciated and calling Ning Yan's name listlessly, our hearts were broken.

We buried Ning Yan on a hillside full of wild flowers behind the orphanage.

The weather was sunny that day, cloudless, and the wind was gentle. Birds were chirping on the branches. Everything seemed to have never changed. I would rather believe that Ning Yan is still here, and he has not left at all...

We picked many petals and sprinkled them beside Ning Yan’s grave. I told him: "Go to sleep! Go home when you wake up. Be sure to come back. We are waiting for you!"

Grandma Zhang sat blankly on the hillside, looking at Ning Yan's grave with empty eyes. Grandpa stayed with her until the sunset.

As grandpa said, everything comes from dust and eventually returns to dust. It's the same for all of us.

Maybe only time can slowly heal the pain. I hope everything will get better soon!

During the days when I returned to school, I became silent and unwilling to interact with anyone. Except for Shui Bai Xia and others who would tease me and say a few words, I would just stare blankly at one place the rest of the time, and would often get distracted in class.

The few girls in the class also gradually distanced themselves from me. During recess, they would get together to talk, laugh, and have fun, and they no longer called me.

The boys were no longer willing to play with me as a girl, so I quickly became a loner and unknowingly faded out of everyone's world. I just lay there in a daze every day without talking, and my sense of existence was almost zero, even a fly

They don't pay much attention to me.

Huang Xiaosan would come every night during self-study. I would only walk out of the classroom at this time and sit with him in the garden. Occasionally we would say a word or two. Most of the time we would be silent, but with his silent company

This is the greatest comfort.

That day the cold-faced woman cried and talked about Zhang Xiaoling, saying that she committed suicide in the mental hospital.

I was a little emotional but not surprised. That woman might have died at the moment her boyfriend's soul was gone, and only her body was alive.

"What on earth did Xiaoling do? How come I never noticed that she has changed?" The cold-faced girl lost her sister and best friend. She was grieved and kept asking me about Zhang Xiaoling. "Remember what she left for you.

How wonderful! Some things are better not known." I said nothing and didn't want to mention it again.

It turned out that Teacher Shao and she were really brothers and sisters. When Teacher Shao went to find Zhang Xiaoling with the identification certificate of brother and sister, she was already dead.

Teacher Shao took the ashes of his sinful sister to a monastery and never returned to school.

Maybe he wanted to atone for his sister's sins in this life, or maybe he had seen through the world and heard that he had become a monk.

He was a good man from nine generations. Maybe he came to save his sister in this life, or maybe it was her sister who saved him.

Grandpa hasn't come back yet. I heard that the local civil affairs department came with a notice, requesting that Zhang *** Orphanage be closed down and all the children taken away.

To put it bluntly, it was just making a fuss. Fortunately, what happened last time was a misunderstanding. If it really happened, they would all be held responsible if the higher authorities investigate it.

They said that Grandma Zhang was old and had no fixed income, so she was no longer suitable to raise children, so they had to make arrangements for the children.

In other words, some of these children will be given to others for adoption, and some will be sent to other orphanages in the city.

When the children heard that they were all being taken away, they were so frightened that they cried and panicked. Grandma Zhang was even more distressed and reluctant to hold these children while she cried.

"Ning Yan is gone. If these children leave again, wouldn't it cost Zhang's life?" Tan Li said worriedly.

"His uncle! Why is this? Didn't Grandma Zhang support her children for so many years when she had no fixed income? Why didn't anyone take care of their civil affairs at that time? No one came to ask? Are they all blind? Now we have to

What do they think about taking all the children away?" Shui Baixia and Pan Xiaoming were very angry.

"Hey! What should I do? Grandma Zhang is old, and grandpa is old too. They can't work anymore. Our family's conditions are not good, and it's difficult for our parents to pay school fees..." I was so anxious that I didn't want to

By keeping these children, we have become a family.

"I'm just wondering, where are all the good-hearted people in the society? Why don't they come to help? And those reporters, who are shouting to serve the society all day long, where are they dead at this time? Damn it!

"Shuibaixia scolded dissatisfiedly.

The government department will come to pick up the child tomorrow morning, and all procedures have been completed.

Grandma Zhang shed tears and cooked a lot of dishes that the children loved, filling a big table. When setting out the dishes and chopsticks, she even prepared a pair for Ning Yan.

All of us sat at the table, lowering our heads silently and no one spoke. This is the last supper. After this meal, the place will disperse. No one knows what will happen to the children in the future and where they will live.

Know.

"Children, eat quickly! You are all good, oh!" Grandpa was holding vegetables for the children, but no one in the group of children moved their chopsticks and looked at Grandma Zhang with tears in her eyes. Grandma Zhang couldn't bear it anymore and covered herself up.

He burst into tears.

"Grandma! Grandma! We won't leave, we won't leave! Don't give us away!" the children cried, very sad.

I looked heartbroken, wiped my tears and walked out of the door, feeling the night breeze and feeling uncomfortable in my heart. It would be great if I could support them, but now I am still a child who relies on my parents to support them.

I could faintly see a light moving under the mountain, getting closer and closer. It turned out to be a car driving up the mountain. I thought to myself, who could it be so late? Could it be that they came to pick up the children in advance?

When I looked back, there was still crying in the house. I looked anxiously at the car that was approaching. The door opened. A middle-aged man in a suit got out of the car. He smiled and waved to me. A middle-aged woman walked out of the car door on the other side.

, he wears jewellery, which is particularly dazzling, and he looks like a rich man at first glance.

"You? Are you here to adopt a child?" I asked tentatively.

"Haha, you're a pretty little girl, can we adopt you?" The bejeweled woman smiled happily and stepped forward to pinch my cheek.

"Are you kidding? Come in, there are children inside, but you have to be nice to them! Otherwise we won't give them to you!" I think these two people are quite kind, and their family conditions must be very good, so it would be good to be adopted by them.

, I led the two people towards the courtyard.

They looked at each other, smiled without saying a word, and followed me inside.

Everyone in the room was startled when they saw a man and a woman coming in behind me. The children immediately started crying, hiding here and there one by one, and some threw themselves into Grandma Zhang's arms and held on tightly to the lapel of Grandma Zhang's clothes.

The old liar looked at these two people for two seconds, then suddenly frowned, stood up from the stool, and pointed at them with a little trembling: "...Xiao Xiangzi? Cuilan?"

Suddenly a smile broke out on Grandpa's face, looking very excited and happy.

The two people looked at Grandpa smiling as soon as they entered the house. When they saw Grandpa recognizing them, they laughed happily, especially the woman named Cuilan, who ran up and hugged the old liar's neck and beat him on the back:

"You old man! You made it easy for us to find you! Why are you here?"

"I, I... Oops! It's hard to explain in words! Come, come, come, you two, sit down and I'll introduce you." The tears in the old liar's eyes hadn't dried yet, but when he saw these two people, he suddenly turned sad.

Happy, with a smile on his face.

It turned out that these two people had met the old liar in the Northeast in his early years. The woman was the old liar's goddaughter, and the man was his godson-in-law. The old liar had saved the woman's life and was their benefactor.

I remember when I was very young, I heard an old liar tell me that he had a goddaughter named Cuilan in the Northeast.

Cuilan is particularly cheerful, and her laughter can be heard far away. Her husband appears to be much more profound, and he looks like a successful man at first glance.

She also seemed to see the relationship between grandpa and *** Zhang, so she opened her mouth to call her godmother, which made her feel embarrassed to call Grandma Zhang.

Cuilan seemed to be very interested in me. When she learned that I was my grandfather's granddaughter, she was so beautiful that she forced me to call her aunt several times, which was not enough.

After hearing about the current situation in the orphanage, she slammed the table angrily: "What do they want to do? They're so fucking awesome, I can't stand this!"

Her husband frowned at her, and she immediately realized how bold she was, quickly looked around at us, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, everyone, I mean, don't be afraid, ***, not a single child is barking."

They took them away, and I bought this orphanage! We don't need the money! Are you not a husband?" Aunt Cuilan winked at her husband like a baby.

Her husband smiled fondly and said: "Then it's settled, don't worry, godfather and godmother, I'll go talk to them! This is nothing more than a matter of money!"

"Yes! As long as money can solve the problem, it doesn't matter!" Aunt Cuilan pinched my cheek again and said with a smile.

"What a rich man!" I sighed secretly.
Chapter completed!
