People were coming in and out at the entrance of Nanfujing, which showed that the business was not as good as usual. After Zhang Xiaolong and his party had eaten, they came to the front desk of the lobby on the first floor and Zhao Xiniu opened the money. The five of them ate a total of 238 yuan and placed it in Spring City.
In this city where housing prices are as high as 8,000 square meters, it is not high at all. Everyone is so full that their stomachs are full. Even the three-year-old Zhao Menghan keeps eating. Liu Qiaoqiao feeds him fish soup.
Much more.
"Landlord, your sister-in-law and I will go back first. You guys have fun." Zhao Xiniu raised his hand to hail a taxi and got in. Zhao Menghan stuck his head out of the window and waved, "Goodbye, Uncle Landlord! Goodbye, Aunt Xuexue!"
"
"goodbye!"
Zhang Xiaolong and Wang Xue waved at the same time and watched the family of three leave. The remaining two of them became the focus of the crowds of passers-by at the entrance of Nanfujing. The man's eyes were wandering, the woman's eyes were starry, Wang Xue's tight vest and ultra-short jeans
It sets off her almost perfect figure, which is tall and graceful, and the cups and underwear reveal a clear outline. When exposed to such a dress, even the purest man will instantly become an animal. In comparison, Zhang Xiaolong looks out of place.
He was wearing a counterfeit sportswear with the adidas logo that was very loose, covering the only streamlined body worth showing off. The thick eyelashes under his big eyes were slightly narrowed, and there was no way to spot the outstanding features of his somewhat funny face unless you looked carefully. He followed Wang lazily.
Standing together with snow, it feels like a flower stuck in cow dung.
"All the good flowers have been gnawed by pigs. This world is full of sorrow. Hey, when will I find Fairy Chang'e who loves me!" A middle-aged fat man shook his body and passed by Wang Xue, pressing the remote control in his hand to face the problem.
The C-class Mercedes Benz that made a beeping sound on the roadside walked away. You don't need to think about it to know that he was envious of Zhang Xiaolong's good fortune, and secretly compared Wang Xue with his own tigress, making an indignant sound.
Zhang Xiaolong was thinking about his own things and simply didn't pay attention to what those people thought of him. Besides, he didn't care about the worldly opinions. Poor mountains and bad waters bring out unruly people, while clear mountains and holy waters bring out talented people. Zhang Xiaolong can't be considered unruly people, nor can he be considered a talented person.
If I had to use a word to describe him, it would be a "beast" with a hint of simplicity. He has steel-hard tiger claws and sharp fangs, but he plays a kind role all the time. Logically speaking, the little dragon is also a dragon, and the dragon comes from
There must be a rainbow shining high in the fog and auspicious clouds covering the sky, but when he came to the metropolis, he was so ordinary.
"A Dong, what are you thinking about? Bailong Temple is not far from here. Let's go and take a walk there." Wang Xue, who was the center of attention, didn't notice anything wrong at all. She had long been accustomed to being criticized. On the contrary, she was enjoying herself with pride.
Her figure is the asset of her confidence and pride, her smile is charming, and she puts her hand on the arm of the sullen Zhang Xiaolong.
Zhang Xiaolong did not refuse, and looked up at the surrounding streets. He had a good memory and had already grasped the blueprint of Spring City in his heart. When he heard that Wang Xue was going to walk with him to the children's welfare home, he smiled and nodded. Under the envious eyes of everyone
In the middle, the two of them walked hand in hand and side by side in the direction of Bailong Temple.
There is one children's welfare home in Spring City in Bailongsi Village, with several universities and numerous residential areas nearby. As a native of Spring City, Wang Xue naturally has a better understanding of the geographical environment. During the time Zhang Xiaolong spent with her,
She also talked about being an orphan. She was also very curious about Zhang Xiaolong's life experience, but what she valued more was Zhang Xiaolong, otherwise she would not have been made deeper and deeper by Liu Qiaoqiao's few words.
"A Dong, is Zhang Xiaolong your real name when you were born? Or was it the name given to you by the person who adopted you? Did he leave you any more information clues? Are you worried that you won't be able to find your information when you go to the orphanage?
"Zhang Xiaolong was worried all the way. Wang Xue, a twenty-year-old woman, was considerate and considerate. She knew that Zhang Xiaolong had always been cheerful. If he became dull at this time, he must be worried about what would happen when he went to the orphanage. After all, it had been so many years.
It is said that Zhang Xiaolong was picked up at the entrance of the orphanage at that time. It is difficult to say whether there is any information about him in the internal documents.
"Yeah! I don't know why, but I got a little panicked when I thought about going to the orphanage. When the old man picked me up at the door, who knows if anyone saw it? When he died, he only said that he wanted me to come to the Spring City Orphanage to explore him.
My life experience, but now the orphanages have been converted into children's welfare homes. Even if someone knows some information about me, twenty years later, maybe those older generations have retired or died. It is estimated that it will be very difficult for me to go there like this.
It’s hard to find any clues." Zhang Xiaolong said helplessly.
"That's not necessarily true. The year before last, my mother and my aunt went to Bailong Temple to offer incense and ask for fortune-telling. When they came back, they went to the Children's Welfare Home. My sister and I were also present at the time. The director of the welfare home was an old man, and she was also a woman.
, it seems her surname is Shang, yes, my aunt often calls her Dean Shang, she looks like she is in her fifties or sixties. By the way, the guard who looks after the door seems to be an old man too, he looks like he is in his sixties, if you
I picked it up at the door. I guess the guard might have seen it back then." Wang Xue comforted Zhang Xiaolong.
Zhang Xiaolong didn't expect that Wang Xue had been to the welfare home. His eyes lit up and he asked: "Have you been to the welfare home? What were you doing there?"
"My uncle is infertile, and my cousin was adopted from a children's welfare home. She was only seven years old when she was adopted. She is now nineteen years old, only one year younger than me. So my aunt goes to the welfare home every year to visit her.
, subsidize some money or medicines, etc. My cousin often goes there to do volunteer work. She occasionally invites me to help those children review their homework. However, I rarely go there after I find a job after graduation." Wang Xue gushed.
She kept talking as if she was also an orphan adopted from an orphanage.
"It seems that you know a lot about children's welfare homes. Does your cousin know who her biological parents are?" Zhang Xiaolong asked curiously.
"I don't know, but I know she really wants to know, even though she doesn't want to show it, and she never mentions it in front of others. But I know she has asked the dean and the person in charge who adopted him, but it is destined to be fruitless.
, since they are abandoned orphans, it is natural that their parents do not want them, or they may have some unspeakable difficulties. In short, this behavior is very outrageous and irresponsible. My cousin
She often goes to the orphanage to volunteer, ostensibly to repay her gratitude to the orphanage, but in fact only we know her inner thoughts, she is holding on to the hope of seeing her biological parents again."
The two of them walked to the entrance of the orphanage unknowingly. Zhang Xiaolong stopped when he looked at the large iron gate. Wang Xue's words touched him too much, and the only hope in his heart was shattered. Originally, he wanted to go in and ask.
, but now I stand at the door as if there are iron nails at my feet, and I feel very heavy. This entrance, which is similar to a university campus, the stone piers on both sides are obviously newly built, painted bright pink, and brand-new iron doors are inlaid on it.
It had just been renovated not long ago. On the top of the door were written the words "Children's Welfare Institute". On the left side of the door was a small bungalow. There was a table at the door. The sign on the table said "Please register to visit". In front of the table
There was an old man with gray hair sitting, looking carefully at Zhang Xiaolong who was looking up. After one glance, his eyebrows jumped twice, as if he couldn't see clearly, so he put on the reading glasses on the table.
"Xiaolong, I'm sorry!" Wang Xue lowered her head and said like a child who had done something wrong: "What I just talked about was my cousin's situation. Maybe your situation will be better. Since you are here, I will go in and ask."
"No."
Zhang Xiaolong looked at the concrete floor under the stone piers on both sides of the gate and wondered what he was thinking. He said to himself: "I don't know whether the basket I slept in was placed on the left or the right. Coming here can be regarded as fulfilling the old man's last wish. In fact,
I don’t want to look for them at all. What can I do if I find them? They might have died long ago. Go away and never come here again.”
There was no expression on Zhang Xiaolong's face, but Wang Xue still saw sadness in his eyes. Just when the two of them turned to leave, the old man with gray hair walked out of the small door and stood like a ghost.
Under the stone pier on the left, he murmured to himself: "The basket was covered with a red cloth. It was placed in this position at that time. I didn't cry or fuss, and slept peacefully. The word Zhang Long was written in blood on the yellow paper."
, the old gentleman came on the clouds, added a small character in the middle with his bare hands, and named him Zhang Xiaolong from then on. Young man, I have been waiting for you for twenty years. The old gentleman really discovered the secrets of the sky, and he is really a living god!
He said you would arrive today, and the time was not even half a moment apart. It seems that the old man has probably ascended to heaven."
"Old man, does the old man have something for you to bring to me?" After hearing these words, Wang Xue was already frozen there. Zhang Xiaolong turned around without joy or sorrow, as if all this was expected, and looked at the silver-haired man.
The old man said: "Can you tell me about the situation at that time? Do you know who put me here?"
"The little dragon soars all over the world, and his chivalrous bones shine in all directions." The old man did not directly answer his words, but carefully took out a piece of yellowed paper from his arms and handed it over, "Young man, these are the words the old gentleman asked me to bring to you. Please be kind to me.
Go and gain enlightenment! He always travels far and wide, exploring the secrets of heaven, and calculating the secrets of everything. If he hadn't pointed me out, I might have died long ago. Now that you are here, I have fulfilled his last wish. He said that he
Only Erjiazi has ten lives, I don’t know what’s going on now.”
"That's right, he is dead, and he has been laid to rest now." Zhang Xiaolong took the paper with both hands, spread it out and saw ten powerful words written on it, which read "Little dragon soared all over the world, chivalrous bones"
Shining in all directions."
Zhang Xiaolong looked at these ten words for a long time, then folded them up and put them in his pocket. At this time, Wang Xue stood aside obediently and listened to the conversation between the two, with her heart tumbling and wondering what she was thinking.
"Old man, you haven't answered my question yet. Who put me here back then?" Zhang Xiaolong asked again.
"Sometimes in life, things have to happen! Young people, don't force anything. The old man said that you will meet your parents in the future. Whether they are friends or enemies depends on your own destiny. Okay, you go, my
The mission is completed, it's time to retire." The old man seemed unwilling to say more, turned around and walked inside.
Wang Xue suddenly shouted: "Old man, you said Xiaolong and his grandfather got through to you back then. How did he get through to you?"
