Temporary Bodyguard

Seeing Fang Chuyang ignoring him, Zhai Chen wisely didn't catch up.

"I'm working on a case." Gao Yusheng walked over and whispered.

"Don't care about him." Zhai Chen waved his hand, turned around and went to get something from the trunk.A large number of supplies are in the truck that follows, and the precious little things are in Gao Yusheng's car.

Zhai Chen took a breath of oxygen, and easily picked up the two all-in-one computers, as if carrying two paper shells.

"Ouch, give me one quickly." Secretary Zheng hurried over to help.Others didn't pay attention to Zhai Chen who was wearing a mask, but he recognized him at a glance. He was Mr. Gao's excavator bodyguard, little lover brother.

"No, you can't hold it." Zhai Chen glanced at Secretary Zheng in a suit and leather shoes, strode past him, and put the computer on the donation table prepared at the entrance of the orphanage.The table is covered with blue velvet, but it is a bit old, and the velvet is missing in some places.

Looking at the past, this orphanage is obviously much dilapidated than the two in the central area and the new urban area.

The yard is small, surrounded by iron fences, and the ground is still pitted concrete, with grass growing in the gaps.There is a sandpit for playing in the west, and the sand is not very full; the east is full of clotheslines, some are wires and some are strips of cloth.Volunteers from Punctuation Company have been working here for most of the day. The clotheslines are full of children's clothes, shoes and socks, and bedding, and weeds have also been cleared out.

Gao Yusheng stood at the door, quietly looking at the rusty words "Gaoyuan Welfare Institute" on the iron door for a long time.

"Yu Sheng, come and see this." Di Chen didn't call him by his nickname outside, because he was afraid that others would recognize him as a brave little bodyguard, so he didn't call Mr. Gao.

When Gao Yusheng heard him calling him, the coldness on his face melted away, and he walked over.

Outside the iron fence, there is a public notice board.Any child to be adopted must be publicized with photos and various information, and the formalities can only be processed after the publicity period has passed.

The children on this public notice board are also very different from those on the public notice board in the central area.The children on the brand in the central area basically have no major problems, and some are quite beautiful.But the people in this family are basically crooked melons and dates. Some have undergone surgery and still have obvious facial asymmetry.

"It's understandable that the conditions of these orphanages are different. Is there a difference in the quality of the children?" Zhai Chen put one hand on Gao Yusheng's shoulder and whispered in his ear.

"Well, welfare homes with poor conditions send fewer children, and the chances of getting relatively healthy children are smaller." Gao Yusheng carefully analyzed the market probability for him.

Di Chen smiled and pinched his shoulder: "I'm just making fun of it, you don't have to answer it so seriously."

"Whatever you ask, I will answer seriously." Gao Yusheng turned to look at him.

The westward sun shone on the handsome face with three-dimensional features, and shone light into the beautiful eyes.Di Chen was stunned for a moment, suddenly didn't know what to say, raised a finger and scratched his face: "Cough..."

"Welcome, welcome, I'm sorry, a child suddenly fell ill just now, and it was too late to come out to greet him," a middle-aged man in his 40s wearing an old suit ran out of the yard in a panic and shook hands with Gao Yusheng, "this It’s Mr. Gao, I’m Lu Changhua, the director of Gaoyuan Orphanage.”

"I see that in the dean's introduction column, it's not about you." Zhai Chen pointed to the bulletin board next to the bulletin board, where the photo of the dean was a white-haired old man.

"Ah, that's my father. He passed away a few years ago. I was originally in another business. My father was worried about this orphanage, so I continued to run it for him." Lu Changhua smiled bitterly and crushed the orphanage cautiously. Grinding the feet in the open rubber shoes, he turned around and asked the teacher inside to take the children out.

Now in the Gaoyuan Welfare Institute, there are more than a dozen children who can walk by themselves, and the rest are either too young or have serious diseases that cannot get out of bed.Children, caregivers, and the superintendent stood in front of the donation table with the employees of Punctuation Map.Originally, Dean Lu meant to pull up a banner saying "Thank you for the donation of the punctuation map", but Gao Yusheng refused.

"We are here to help, not to cause trouble." Gao Yusheng asked the workers who pulled the goods to help move the supplies in.

Dean Lu was very grateful and took them to visit.

"Why is there such a difference between here and the central area?" Zhai Chen couldn't help asking as he touched the painted blackboard in the kindergarten classroom.

"Hey, it's a long story for a child without a mother," Lu Changhua moved a few stools for them to sit on, "The central area is directly under the city, of course the funds are abundant. We belong to Nancheng District. What does this area look like to you?" I also know, not to mention that it was picked up halfway, and it is not taken seriously at all."

"Why did you pick it up halfway?" Secretary Zheng asked curiously

"This orphanage was run by a state-owned enterprise in the early years. It was considered half-public and half-private. Later, when the enterprise closed down, it was taken over by the district and changed to the current name." Dean Lu showed them the old photo album.

At first it was called "Gaoyuan Orphanage", and the gate basically remained unchanged.It's just that it used to be a courtyard wall, but it was replaced by an iron fence in response to the greenness of the city.Lu Changhua's father, the old dean, is a kind-hearted old man who takes photos with the children at the gate every year.

Looking at the past year by year, the old dean is visibly thinner and thinner, and the last piece of skin still has a kind smile on his face.

"Father died of cancer. He was still worried when he was about to die, so he let me take over. In fact, I was adopted by my father, so my surname is Lu. Did I pick it up by the side of the road?" Lu Changhua said with a smile.

The children in this orphanage, except those who have their own names, all have the surname Lu.

"The old man is really a caring person." Secretary Zheng was very moved.

"Can I take a photo?" Gao Yusheng pointed to the photo on the album and asked Dean Lu.

"Of course." Lu Changhua waved his hand nonchalantly, asking Gao Yusheng to take pictures casually.

Zhai Chen watched him take pictures with his mobile phone carefully, and was a little surprised: "Since when did you become interested in this kind of old photos?"

"I've always been interested in photography and painting." Gao Yusheng returned the photo album to the dean after taking the photo.

"Ah, yes." Zhai Chen recalled the starry sky photography exhibition last time, and the studio that had been locked all the time.

"Our Mr. Gao likes art very much, especially the starry sky," Secretary Zheng smiled and chatted with Dean Lu, when a glass of water was handed over to him in front of him, he quickly took it and looked up, "Thanks... ah!"

A thank you didn't finish, it turned into an exclamation.

The person who poured the water was a boy about thirteen or fourteen years old, with serious burn scars on his face, and looked a little scary.Seeing that Secretary Zheng was frightened, he bent down and bowed, making a "ho ho" sound from his mouth.

"I'm sorry, his throat was burnt out when he was a child, so he can't speak." Dean Lu quickly explained.The child was burned when he was very young, and the family gave him simple treatment and threw him at the gate of the orphanage.

"Oh, there's nothing to apologize for." Secretary Zheng was very embarrassed.

The burned boy lowered his head and poured water for Zhai Chen and the others.Di Chen was not afraid of that face at all, and said with a smile: "A man is handsome only if he has a scar. When I was a teenager in the street, I always wanted to get a scar on my face." He also demonstrated with his hands, Split from the forehead through the eyes to the bridge of the nose.

The young man looked up at him, as if he had heard someone say that for the first time, his eyes were full of surprise.

Gao Yusheng remained expressionless from beginning to end, letting him talk nonsense.

"He's actually pretty good. There are quite a few children here with severe disabilities." Dean Lu sighed, and took them to see the children who couldn't take care of themselves.

Most are mentally handicapped, and some are born disabled.

"It has to be said that none of the children here are really...none healthy." Secretary Zheng swallowed the word "ugly", but it is true. Generally speaking, there are disabled children who are good-looking, but there is not even a single child here. I can't find anyone with good facial features.

"Normal people are rushing to adopt them. We don't know how many adoptions we have. It's just that there are more disabled children and fewer normal children. No one is willing to adopt children with severe disabilities. Those with mild disabilities hang on the door. Yes, it was also adopted by foreigners." Dean Lu picked up a mentally handicapped child who was crawling all over the floor, and put him back on a crib.

"It's too miserable. Dean Lu is really a good person." Secretary Zheng felt sad and donated 1000 yuan on the spot.

It was dusk when we left the Gaoyuan Orphanage.This was the last stop of the day. The employees disbanded on the spot. Secretary Zheng bowed his head and said a few words to Gao Yusheng. After he nodded, he immediately said to everyone: "I've been tired all day, let's go to a dinner party, Mr. Gao said I will reimburse you!"

"Oh yeah!" The employees immediately cheered and ran away with Secretary Zheng.

"Why don't you go?" Di Chen squeezed Gao Yusheng who was in a daze.

"I'm going to spoil the atmosphere." Gao Yusheng couldn't help moving his body because of his pinching.

"Well, that's just right, my brother will take you to eat delicious food." Zhai Chen raised his eyebrows together, just like the courteous Tom cat in cartoons.

"Uh, uh!" The voice of the burned boy came from behind, and Zhai Chen turned around, with a picture book stuffed in his hand.This is a brochure issued by the Gaoyuan Welfare Institute itself, and it was distributed to every volunteer just now.

"Thank you." Di Chen put the album in his bag and waved goodbye to the boy.

Gao Yusheng stuffed his own book into his brother's bag, and took his hand waving in the air: "What do you eat?"

"Look where this is?" Zhai Chen pointed to the gradually bustling urban village. This is Zhouzhai, a famous night market.

When he was a child, he promised to take Tianci to eat all the snacks in the city, and Zhai Chen tasted everything he could.This kind of night market was very unfriendly to his night blindness, so he dragged Fang Chuyang to lead him the way.This Zhouzhai Night Market has very cheap things, and it looks very cheap and messy, but there are also hidden gourmet delicacies.

Gao Yusheng looked at the dark street, but he simply didn't let go of his hand, and dragged him into the city village night market where alleys crisscrossed.

It is said that it is a night market, but there is no unified plan, that is, every night, there will be many food stalls pushing carts, and they will sell it at any place.

A young girl in cool clothes is sitting in front of a simple mala tang stall, eating skewers by handfuls.The burrito-selling aunt yelled loudly while quickly filling the dough with vegetables.The grilled chicken stand is even more lively. The whole grilled chicken skewers are automatically turned over on the iron fork, and the boss is frying chicken tenders beside him.

A young man who has just returned from work buys a white sesame cake at a sesame seed stall, splits it in the middle, and then buys two yuan of chicken tenders to put in it, asking the boss to squeeze more tomato sauce.

"I only bought it for two yuan, and you are still greedy for so much sauce. I am losing money every day!" The boss cursed, and squeezed some more sauce.

The young man happily squeezed out the biscuits, almost bumping into Zhai Chen.

Gao Yusheng immediately pulled Di Chen into his arms.He had some resistance to this kind of crowded place, and he didn't want others to meet Di Chen, so he was as clumsy as an old farmer walking in the thorn forest.

"It's okay, I can see it," said these small stalls. In order to compete for business, the bulbs are getting brighter and brighter, and they can still be seen clearly from the side of the stall. "It won't be so crowded any further."

Taking Gao Yusheng to turn to another street, this side is relatively quiet, most of them are shops facing the street.Di Chen bought several things, and sat with Gao Yusheng on the peripheral table of an ice cream shop to eat slowly.

What Zhai Chen bought were all the ones he had tasted and found delicious, and the taste was naturally not bad, but he didn't know if Gao Yusheng could adapt to the taste that Gao Yusheng had pampered and raised for so many years.Fortunately, Gao Yusheng is not picky about food, and eats with gusto.

"When you were young, you liked the fried jelly in the town the most, but it's a pity that you can only go there once every six months." Zhai Chen took a spoonful of fried jelly, handed it to Gao Yusheng, and waited for him to come back and eat it himself when he opened his mouth.

Gao Yusheng blinked and looked at him innocently.

Di Chen laughed, and gave him the spoon to eat by himself.

At that time in the mountains, Gao Yusheng escaped a few times and his reputation was very low. The hunchback never let him leave the village, and only Zhai Chen took him to go a little farther.Every time Di Chen's father, Li Dahai, went to the town to sell mountain goods, Di Chen would bring Gao Yusheng with him, and only adults who looked at the hunchback would reluctantly agree.

There is nothing delicious in that town, they are all low-quality snacks for tourists from other places, and there is only one fried jelly that is good.Zhai Chen sells eggs for Li Dahai, he will secretly raise the price a bit, and the extra money will be used to buy jelly for Tianci.He learned his arithmetic from Mr. Mazi at the entrance of the village, so he won't have any problem dealing with Li Dahai.

"You remember." Gao Yusheng took a bite, and it wasn't as delicious as it was back then, but because this person bought it for him, it tasted better again.

"Of course I remember." Apart from recognizing faces, Zhai Chen has very good memories in other aspects.

"How did you come to the night market before?" Gao Yusheng was more concerned about this.

"Together with Fang Chuyang." Di Chen remembered his brother now, and saw him at the gate of the orphanage in the afternoon, so he should be investigating the case nearby.He looked down at his phone, there was no news of Fang Chuyang, and he didn't dare to call him casually.

"Wherever brother wants to go in the future, I will accompany you, don't bother his second uncle anymore." Gao Yusheng said casually.

"That's necessary. I'm so full of anger to eat with him, if it's not that I have no choice..."

Before he could finish speaking, the siren sounded from across the street, and seven or eight police motorcycles with blue lights flashing came in and stopped in front of a residential house.Not long after, a bunch of people wrung out from the inside, all squatting at the base of the wall with their heads in their hands.

"Oh, the teahouse has been investigated." The lady proprietress of the ice shop raised her head to watch the excitement.

"Is that a poker field?" Di Chen casually chatted with the proprietress.

"No." Seeing that Zhai Chen is a knowledgeable person, the proprietress smiled at him.

Gao Yusheng squeezed his hand suddenly, and drew his brother's attention back: "That, it seems to be the black face in the afternoon."

Xiao Chen?The lights over there were dim, and Di Chen couldn't see clearly. Since Gao Yusheng saw Chen Zhaohui, it meant that Fang Chuyang was also there.

"Officer, I'm just playing cards. It's fifty cents a game. It's really not gambling."

"Officer, I'm just a card reader."

The people squatting at the door were talking in a hurry and were ordered to be quiet.The passers-by around were all laughing and bustling, and the atmosphere was not very tense.At this moment, the house suddenly burst into flames, and there was a loud bang, and the glass in the house was instantly shattered and shot out.

"Ah—" the onlookers shouted and ran away, and the gamblers who were caught ran away with their heads in their hands.

Someone yelled "the gas tank exploded", and half of the courtyard wall fell down.Chen Zhaohui raised his foot and was about to rush in, but was stopped by other colleagues, and shouted anxiously: "The deputy team is still inside!"

Fang Chuyang!

When Zhai Chen heard this sentence, he took out the oxygen cylinder without saying a word.

"Oxygen will explode if you bring it in." Gao Yusheng held his wrist.

Di Chen didn't speak, took a few sips and stuffed the bottle to Gao Yusheng, then rolled into the yard with his feet up.
