Boss, your dragon!

Different from the newly built school building, the staff dormitory where teachers and staff live is an old building with wooden structure.Even the stairs are made of wood, the steps are narrow and high, and they creak when stepped on.

The dean was very embarrassed to let the distinguished guests live in such a backward place. He rubbed his hands and asked if they needed to open another room in a hotel outside.

"It's okay," Luo Xu skillfully lifted the hot water bottle, hooked shoulders with the dean and walked out the door.When he arrived in front of the water room, he lowered his voice, "Don't look at our big boss now, he also suffered a lot back then, and this is nothing at all."

The dean hurriedly praised Zhu Yun for his hard work, but he had another plan in mind—the boss seemed to care about the orphanage, and asked him to experience the difficult conditions of the teachers, and maybe he would be willing to help repair it when the time came. It's a new dormitory.

He piled up a smile: "At the beginning, the money was only enough to rebuild two buildings, so the children's accommodation was cleaned up first, so the children can't suffer anymore. Look at this staff dormitory building. At first, there was no hot water and air conditioning. Relying on the enthusiastic donations from social enthusiasts, it was slowly built..."

Luo Xu smiled knowingly: "Everyone has seen the sacrifices made by the orphanage for the children."

The two of you came and went and flattered each other for a while, but they were interrupted by Qingyue's voice behind them.

"Excuse me." Zheng Gui held two water bottles in one hand, brushed her half-length hair behind her ear with her left hand, and said with a smile, "Hey, are you fetching water too?"

The dean was a little dissatisfied: "Xiao Zheng, Mr. Luo and I are talking..."

On the contrary, Luo Xu took a step back and stepped aside: "It's okay, please invite Teacher Zheng first."

Zheng Gui smiled gently and walked into the water room with his head down.Being interrupted by such a distraction, the two of them couldn't continue to gossip, so they had to separate.The dean asked them to rest well tonight and prepare to participate in the children's sports meeting the next day.

Luo Xu watched him leave, the smile in his eyes slowly disappeared.Thinking about something in his mind, he slowly put the kettle under the spout. The hot water was dripping, and it took a long time to fill up half of the kettle.

"Hey, when do you have to wait to go?" Zheng Gui just came out of the laundry room, and said skillfully, "Give me a moment, I'll do it."

She touched the hairpin from her head, poked it into a slot, and pried it hard twice.I don't know where I pressed it, but the flow rate suddenly returned to normal.She clapped her hands and turned around to explain: "The equipment is old, and it always breaks down in winter. If you still have problems next time, just call me."

Luo Xu was a little surprised, touched the inconspicuous gap: "You can even repair this!"

"How could that be?" Zheng Gui waved his hands again and again, his eyes crooked with a smile, "I can't fix boilers, I just lived for a long time and have a little experience in life!" @无限好文，全在晋江文学城

After finishing speaking, she lightly picked up two pots of hot water and left, walked to the door and paused for a moment, then said suddenly, "Oh, by the way, there are often small animals scurrying around in the old building at night, don't be surprised if you hear it. And , The time to turn off the lights is 10:30, and the sensor lights will also be powered off at that time. It is best not to go out. The stairs are easy to fall if you can’t walk. There was a new teacher who was like this before, and went directly up the stairs in the middle of the night... ..."

Before she finished speaking, she suddenly came back to her senses and smiled a little shyly: "Hey, look at me, it's easy to chatter when you have too many children, so I just want to remind you. It's not as dark as the city here. "

Luo Xu had a good impression of her, and nodded in response: "I see, thank you."

Zheng Gui nodded at him, walked away with her slippers on.

When Luo Xu returned to the room, Zhu Yun had already released Bai from his schoolbag, and one of them rolled into a ball on the bed, playing with his mobile phone.

Luo Xu put the water bottle away, just in time to see Zhu Yun's left hand resting lazily on the edge of the bed, with the little black dragon holding the end of his little finger in his mouth.His fingers are fair and slender, and the soft joints are pale pink, against the black and faint watery light on Xiaolong's body, it looks even more... Luo Xu doesn't know how to describe it, but feels that something is different, and he is confused. Scratched his head.

The little black dragon noticed his gaze, turned his head, and bared his teeth in demonstration.Zhu Yun heard the ringing and moved the phone: "What?"

Luo Xu then repeated the dean's words, and said: "I made indirect remarks several times, and he didn't seem to have any other meanings, as if it was really just an ordinary orphanage."

Zhu Yun nodded: "I also paid attention to it today. There are no injuries on the children, and it seems that the management is quite formal." But remembering the words before the spider girl left, he paused for a moment, and said: "It may be It was rectified after the civil reform. To be honest, I suspect that Spider Girl used to..."

tuk tuk.There was a sudden knock on the door.

The two looked at each other and stopped talking.Luo Xu raised his voice, "Who is it?"

"It's me." The door opened, and Zheng Gui was standing outside with a smile, holding a bowl of strawberries in his hand, "I'll bring you some of the freshly washed ones."

"Ah," Luo Xu hurriedly took it and thanked him, "Would you like to come in and sit for a while?"

"No," Zheng Gui waved his hand, "It's almost time to turn off the lights. You guys should go to bed early too!"

The little black dragon was hidden by Zhu Yun in the quilt behind him. Seeing her eyes sweeping towards the room, Zhu Yun raised the corners of his lips and nodded at her: "Thank you, we are going to sleep now."

After closing the door, seeing Luo Xu was a little dazed, Zhu Yun couldn't help asking.Luo Xu then truthfully told what happened in the water room, feeling a little nervous: "She seems very worried about us going out at night."

"Hmm." Zhu Yun was thoughtful.

The strawberries are bright red, half the size of a palm, and full of juice. The pedicles are removed, and they are neatly stacked in a bowl, with a fragrance overflowing.

Just as Zhu Qiu came out of the cold shower, he wanted to grab one and eat it.Zhu Yun saw it, quickly stopped his hand, and silently poured the whole bowl into a bag and sealed it.

Seeing the little lizard pouting in dissatisfaction, Zhu Yun coaxed him: "Hey, I'll buy you better ones when I go home." But Luo Xu saw it, and his expression changed slightly: "You doubt her? But there is something wrong with her. There is no smell of ..."

@无限好文, all in Jinjiang Literature City

Zhu Yun lowered his voice, described the little girl's gestures, and turned out the phone screen for the two of them to see.I saw the word "Attention" written on the sign language interpretation found in the search.

Pay attention to what?Pay attention to who?Why do you want to avoid Zheng Gui and tell him?Doubts everywhere

"But she seems to be very close to Teacher Zheng." Luo Xu was puzzled.

Zhu Yun didn't know the inside story either, so he just shook his head: "It's always right to be careful."

During the day, they were always accompanied by people, so it was inconvenient to move around. Luo Xu originally planned to continue the investigation at night.Although Zheng Gui gave repeated orders not to go out after turning off the lights, it only made them more suspicious.

Luo Xu visited the orphanage, and now he took out the notebook he carried with him to write and draw, and actually gave a complete map of the campus.In addition to the playground in the center, the orphanage mainly consists of four buildings: the new teaching building, the old school building, the student dormitory and canteen living area, and the staff dormitory.

The new teaching building and the children's living area are connected by a sky bridge, while the other two buildings are scattered in the corner.

"I inquired about it. The old school building has now been converted into a teacher's office building, and the file room is also there." Luo Xu clicked on the upper left of the playground, "Let's go there first and have a look."

"Okay." Zhu Yun nodded and finalized the plan.

At 10:30, the bell to turn off the lights rang, not only this dormitory building, but soon, even the entire campus was plunged into darkness.Through the curtains, you can vaguely see the moonlight reflecting the jagged tree shadows, lingering on the yellowed wall with teeth and claws.

The three of them lay on the bed without speaking, but no one fell asleep.

The corridor outside the door was also dark. After waiting for about half an hour, the sound of creaking came from far to near, and I could see the chaotic light of the flashlight—it was the teacher who was in charge of patrolling the doors and windows.Soon, a door in a distant room opened and closed, and even this last movement disappeared.

Zhu Yun and Luo Xu slept on bunk beds, while the little lizard was lying on the single bed on the other side.After a while, Luo Xu quietly turned over from the upper bunk, Zhu Yun opened his eyes and looked, his eyes were like a cat's in the dark, shining honey-colored light.

The original plan was for Zhu Yun and Luo Xu to investigate, while the little lizard stayed in the room to prevent accidents.Luo Xu's night vision is so good that he doesn't even need a flashlight. He gently opened the door a crack, and looked into the corridor with his head. When he retracted his head, his expression was very ugly.

"What's wrong?" Zhu Yun also leaned over to take a look.The scene he saw through the crack of the door sent chills down his back.

I saw a woman sitting upright in the old wooden corridor.With her back against the door and facing the corridor, she was sitting on a chair with her head bowed, half of her gray hair falling down, as if she was dozing off.Looking carefully, it is clearly Xie Ming, the instructor of the Sunflower class!Even the sitting posture is no different from when taking care of children during the day.

After closing the door, Luo Xu cursed in a low voice: "Are you sick, why don't you sleep on the bed and go out to sleep on the chair?"

Zhu Yun was speechless, he finally knew how the other party's dull eyes, old face, dark circles and red bloodshot came from - wouldn't it be easy to age prematurely if you don't sleep at night?

She seemed half asleep and half awake, and the wooden floor was extremely prone to making abnormal noises. It might be impossible to pass through the corridor without disturbing people.Luo Xu thought for a while, opened the curtains, and looked at the bushes under his eyes.

The room is located on the second floor, next to the drain pipe, it is easy for them to slide down.

The plan changed slightly, and the two of them didn't delay. After nodding to the little lizard, they trot along the base of the wall in the direction of the old school building.

When visiting during the day, the dean deliberately avoided this old building.At this time, Zhu Yun looked up and vaguely felt that the three-story small western-style building looked very gloomy.

"It is said that it was first built during the war. At that time it was called the Yuyingtang, and it was converted into a private orphanage after the reform and opening up." Luo Xu obviously did a lot of homework, and explained in a low voice while picking the window lock.

Perhaps because it was not used much, the building didn't even have anti-theft windows, so the two easily slipped in through the window of the staff office on the first floor.

Even so, Zhu Yun also admired Luo Xu who pried open the window with a card: "Hey, aren't you from the flower shop?"

Luo Xu coughed dryly in embarrassment: "That happened after I met my sister. When I first came to Earth, I couldn't even afford to eat, so I must have some tricks."

Zhu Yun: "..." Before he came to Earth, he might have just made a small mistake. After being exiled for a trip back, he has learned all the sneaky skills!

This building has a brick floor, and the interior is very shady, and it looks damp and cold in winter.Luo Xu's movements were nimble, and he turned up the stairs in twos and twos, leaning over the railing to say hello: "Here it is!"

An ordinary wooden door was installed in the archives room. This type of door could only see the keyhole from the outside, but it was not deliberately locked.Luo Xu held the wire in his mouth and moved faster than before.As soon as the door was pushed open, Zhu Yun was provoked by the dust and sneezed.

"Ahem, how long has it been since it's been cleaned!" The floor was covered with cobwebs and dust, and even the folders on the bookshelves were not spared, and they were dusted with a light touch.

"Ji~" The little black dragon poked his head out from his backpack, and licked Zhu Yun's moist eyes comfortingly.Zhu Yun patted his little head and turned to look at the files on the bookcase.

"Start from ten years ago. It is best to have photos of the children and staff files. I don't know if there are any files after the renovation."

Luo Xu simply threw the flashlight to Zhu Yun: "Where are the teacher's materials, let's find it faster separately."

Zhu Yun slowly fumbled along the student file cabinets over the years.The curtains in the archive room were missing a corner, and the moonlight softly illuminated the world by the window, and the year table taped on the tape could be vaguely seen.

Now that he could barely see, he extinguished the flashlight, fearing that the light would expose them.

He casually took down the recent documents and flipped through them. As expected, he saw a few children in it that he had seen during the day.There are also some unfamiliar faces, most of whom are adopted children. They took the last ID photo before leaving, with bright smiles.

Zhu Yun took out his mobile phone to take pictures, and observed carefully again. He found that most of the adoptions occurred in the first half of the year. Since the second half of the year, the number of adopted children has dropped sharply.

He flipped forward and noticed that the turnover rate of children in this orphanage was not low. Many children found a new home after only staying for a few months, and there were even many children with congenital disabilities.

But Zheng Gui clearly said...

Zhu Yun frowned, put the information back to its original place, and walked to the earlier cabinet.Soon, the file cabinet from ten years ago also appeared in front of my eyes.

Compared with now, the cost of taking pictures at that time was relatively high, and there were fewer photos. There was only one group photo of all the children every year.The student's file simply records the name and age, occasionally notes the disease, and there is no ID photo.

The old paper was brittle and yellowed. Zhu Yun flipped through a few pages, but couldn't find what he was looking for—whether it was a child with "Mei" in his name, or a girl who looked similar to the spider girl.

Zhu Yun sped up his movements and flipped through three books in a row. Suddenly, he stopped, turned back to the photo page, and carefully identified them.

There is indeed no spider girl in the photo, but there is another familiar face - a thin teenager, wearing a worn and whitish old school uniform, standing in the corner of the group photo like a radish, exactly the same as the Christmas Eve spider girl .Zhu Yun checked the location and found his name: Xu Chengjie.

This child only appeared in the group photo of that year. Could it be that he was adopted this year?Zhu Yun asked suspiciously, and followed his name to find his information, but only saw a few lines: XXXX, December 12, Christmas Eve, acute pneumonia, died of illness.

Xu Chengjie died, not long after this photo was taken.

Looking at his shy smile in the photo, Zhu Yun panicked - as long as he seeks medical treatment in time, acute pneumonia is not a disease that will inevitably lead to death. How could he die like this?

He seemed to realize something, and re-read the roster file of this year from the beginning to the end, only to find that the child mortality rate was unexpectedly high, most of them died of acute diseases, and even dysentery, etc. The mortality rate was very low disease.

It's not the war years when there is a lack of medical care, how could this be?Zhu Yun frowned, their deaths... Could it be related to the Spider Girl?The spider girl took on the appearance of Xu Chengjie in the department store, so she probably knew him.

"Zhu Yun." Across several rows of bookshelves, Luo Xu called in a low voice.

Zhu Yun looked up and saw him leaning against the window with a nervous expression: "It seems that someone is coming."

"What?" Zhu Yun was startled, "A security guard on patrol?"

"No, he's wearing a hood, so he can't see his face clearly." Luo Xu hurriedly looked away: "He's come in, we have to leave as soon as possible."

Zhu Yun nodded, turned over the last few pages in a hurry, and suddenly stared.I saw that on the last page starting with the letter Z, there was a familiar name written on it: Zheng Gui.

It turns out that she... grew up in this orphanage?

Zhu Yun's heart was shaken, and he didn't have time to think about it, so he just raised his hand and took a picture of all the pages.Under Luo Xu's urging, he stuffed the file back to its original place, and the two hurried to the door.

As soon as his finger was on the doorknob, Luo Xu suddenly made a "stop" gesture.Zhu Yun listened attentively, the sound of footsteps was very subtle, it seemed that the person who came came deliberately lightened his footsteps, but he could still hear the sound coming from far and near, and it was actually coming straight to the archives room.

Luo Xu's pupils shrank, and he pulled Zhu Yun to run to the window without hesitation.He pushed open the rusty window hard, turned over first, slid down the drainpipe to the bottom, raised his head and gestured to Zhu Yun that he could come down.

Zhu Yun breathed a sigh of relief, stepped onto the window sill, and closed the window with his backhand.Unexpectedly, the window was rusted and deformed, and the last two inches could not be pushed back. He heard the door not far away being gently pushed open, and his heart was beating like thunder. .

In the archive room, which had been dusty for a long time, only the curtain here was lifted by the night wind.This strangely attracted the attention of the visitor, and the rustling footsteps stopped for a moment, then walked towards the window sill.

Zhu Yun was only two meters away from landing. Just as he was about to grit his teeth and jump down, he suddenly felt the backpack loosen behind him.Looking up again, I saw the little black dragon flapping its wings vigorously and pounced towards the window.

A visitor wanted to open the window and look down, but unexpectedly, he finally pushed away the rusted window frame, and there was a mass of puffing black shadows in front of him.

"What are you doing, bat!"

Zhu Yun landed smoothly, and vaguely heard a complaining female voice, but didn't care to distinguish, and quickly dragged Luo Xu into the shadow of the bushes.When the person by the window avoided the "bat" and looked down again, the building was already empty.

The two ran all the way back to the dormitory until An Ran lay back on the bed, still a little breathless.

"Damn it, how could there be someone in the middle of the night." Luo Xu said while twisting a towel to wipe his body naked.

"Perhaps they doubted our purpose and rushed to destroy the evidence." Zhu Yun shook his head: "Let's not talk about this, have you found any clues?"

Luo Xu nodded: "Most of the teacher's files from ten years ago are vacant, but the roster is still there. I took pictures of them, and there is Mr. Xie in it, and Gao Qiao is also there."

Zhu Yun's heart moved: "How many shifts is Gao Qiao in charge of?"

"Class three."

Zheng Gui and the dead Xu Chengjie were also in the third class, Zhu Yun lowered his eyes and thought, this may not be a coincidence.

"We'll sort it out tomorrow." Luo Xu said, "It's too late, let's rest first."

Zhu Yun nodded, and lay back full of thoughts.He couldn't sleep, so he turned his head to look at Bai.In order to protect him just now, the little black dragon flew a long way beyond the limit, probably because he was tired, but now his eyelids drooped, and he looked dazed.

Zhu Yun looked funny, leaned over to kiss him, and whispered, "Thank you, good night."

But after a while, everyone in the room fell asleep, only Zhu Yun kept his eyes open and was not sleepy.He turned over, forced himself to close his eyes, and let his mind go blank. At this moment, a slight sound suddenly sounded.

Swish, Swish.It was as if something was scratching the wall beside him.

Zhu Yun was taken aback for a moment, thinking that he had heard it wrong, but when he opened his eyes suddenly, the small movement disappeared.Suspiciously, Zhu Yun stepped over the sleeping dragon and carefully placed his ear against the wall.

After waiting for a while, the voice sounded again, this time much clearer, as if fingernails were scratching the wall, just across the wall, coming from an upper position.

Above... isn't that near Luo Xu's bed?

After finally confirming that it was not a hallucination, Zhu Yun shuddered, turned over and sat up, and hurried to pull Luo Xu's quilt.Luo Xu woke up sleepily, lying on the side of the bed and was about to ask, Zhu Yun quickly made a silent gesture.

Hearing the movement of the two, the little lizard also woke up and sat up.Several people looked at each other, Zhu Yun silently pointed to the wall beside Luo Xu.

In the dead silence where a needle can be heard, the rustling sound is soft and slow.Luo Xu's eyes widened suddenly - that voice could not have come from the wall behind him!

"Day." Luo Xu quickly slid down the upper bunk and said in a low voice, "What the hell!"

Zhu Qiu volunteered and suggested that he should sneak over to have a look.Zhu Yun thought about it, and it seemed that there was no better way, so he could only tell him to be more careful.

In order not to scare the snake away, the two waited quietly in place.After a while, Zhu Qiu crawled back from the window with a puzzled face.

"There is an empty room next to it." He said, "I climbed in to check it out, but the wall of the other side's upper bunk actually made this strange sound."

Luo Xu's complexion became very ugly - anyone who found out that there was something locked in the wall next to the bed would probably not be able to relax.

Zhu Yun laughed twice: "Maybe it's a mouse. Didn't Zheng Gui say that there are small animals in this building?"

He himself didn't believe what he said, and Luo Xu refused to go back to the upper bunk and lie down again.Zhu Yun originally wanted to say that you and I should squeeze together, but Luo Xu, who came closer, almost got his nose bitten off by the little black dragon who overturned the jar of jealousy.In desperation, he had no choice but to say: "Then you and Zhu Qiu can squeeze together. Just for this night, just let it go."

Zhu Qiu was dumbfounded, and began to tremble at a speed visible to the naked eye: "Brother Yunyunyun, woo woo woo, how could you be like this..." He cried with a sad face, "Or, or I'll sleep on the upper bunk, and we'll change beds."

"No." Before Zhu Yun could speak, Luo Xu sternly refused, "I still don't know what it is, it might be dangerous."

"But……"

"Hey, don't make trouble." Luo Xu put on the appearance of a big brother, wrapped the stiff little lizard tightly in the quilt, stuffed it into the bed, rolled up the bedding himself, and lay on the outer mattress.

Zhu Qiu huddled into a small ball, looking like he really wanted to get out of bed, but he didn't dare to pass Luo Xu, so he could only tremble pitifully.

He was shaking so that the whole bed board was shaking and creaking. For some reason, he thought they were doing something strange.

Finally, Zhu Yun said blackly: "Forget it Xiaoqiu, come here."

"Brother Yun, you are so kind." The little lizard rushed over, ignoring Bai's fierce eyes, and curled up in the corner knowingly.

The night passed without incident.The next day was the sports meeting of the orphanage. Whether disabled or healthy children, the instructors prepared corresponding rides.

Even children with polio who have difficulty walking can take part in roller sports while lying down.Under the bright sunshine, the faintly gloomy atmosphere dissipated, and the playground was full of cheerful and lively atmosphere.

There are many sports that need to be timed, and the teacher is too busy, so Zhu Yun and others joined the team to help.

"Hey, it seems that you are quite good at taking care of children." Zheng Gui said with a smile as he passed by.With a ponytail and a perky cap, she was pushing the rollers the kids needed.

Seeing her bright and harmless smile, Zhu Yun felt a little unnatural, and just perfunctory said: "How can I say that, my experience is far worse than that of Teacher Zheng." He took back the veil that wiped the little boy's sweat, She straightened up and patted him on the back, and said softly, "Go and play."

Zheng Gui saw it, and his eyes softened a little: "No, the most lacking in childcare is not experience, but love and patience. Mr. Zhu, children like you very much."

After a short pause, she said again: "Then... have you decided who to take with you?"

Hearing the content of the chat between the two, the children around all pricked up their ears and looked over secretly.Several boys who were good at sports began to work harder, obviously, they hoped to be taken home by the kind Mr. Zhu.

Zhu Yun shook his head: "I'm ashamed to say that, in fact, I only wanted a healthy child, but I was a little uncertain when I heard what Teacher Zheng said yesterday."

"Hey, don't listen to me," Zheng Gui laughed, "I'm blind Bibi."

She seemed to want to say something, but was hurriedly called away by another teacher, and only had time to wave to Zhu Yun: "When you think it over, you can tell me, we will help him hold a send-off party."

Zhu Yun nodded, and suddenly felt a light touch on his feet.He lowered his eyes and saw a small ball rolling to his feet. Not far away, Xiao Ran squatted, smiled at him shyly, pointed to himself, and pointed to the ball.

Zhu Yun understood, picked up the ball and was about to roll back, but found a small piece of paper under the ball.His eyebrows twitched, and he quickly returned to normal. He passed the ball back to Xiao Ran as if nothing had happened, turned around and walked into the dark, and quickly glanced at the piece of paper in his hand.

There was only one crooked word written in pencil: go.

Walk?Are you trying to persuade him to leave quickly?Is it because he is afraid that something will happen to him?Zhu Yun put away the note and looked at Xiaoran's thin back among the children who were jumping the long rope from a distance, his expression became a little complicated.

According to the itinerary, they will also stay overnight in the orphanage.Because today is a sports meeting, there will be no classes in the afternoon, and the children will be sent back to their room to rest and prepare for the small banquet in the evening.

The orphanage has no money to hire a pastry chef, and it has snowed again in the past two days, so I don't even want to travel so far to the suburbs for takeaway, so I can only keep everything simple.

Hearing this, Zhu Yun smiled and said, "Since we are having a party for the children, how can there be no cake?"

The dean waved his hands again and again: "They still have more chances to eat cake, this time is not bad."

Luo Xu also came to his senses, and leaned over and said, "Leave the matter of the cake to us, we just happened to go to the city for a run, and buy some other snacks by the way."

The dean couldn't hold back a few people, so after lunch, Zhu Yun and the three drove to the city. Zheng Gui watched them leave at the door with Xiaoran in his arms.

Luo Xu glanced at the rearview mirror: "I see that Zheng Gui chatted with you in the morning, she didn't suspect anything, did she?"

Zhu Yun shook his head, took out the roster of employees photographed last night, and started dialing numbers one by one.The so-called buying cakes is just a pretense, the point is to visit the people on these lists.

However, after many years, many people have moved, and even the phone number has become empty.

A few people went round and round, and finally arrived at an old small apartment building.Knocking on the door, a benevolent old lady poked her head out, with a puzzled look on her face: "Are you...?"

Zhu Yun was the first to smile and said, "Excuse me, is this Mr. Hu Guangping's home?"

The old lady looked surprised: "What are you looking for with my son?"

Luo Xu and Zhu Yun looked at each other with surprise in their eyes - they finally found the right family!

The task of fooling people was handed over to Luo Xu. He lied and didn't make drafts. The old lady said that she used to be a student of Mr. Hu, and now she was passing by City H on business, and she came back to visit specially. A bag of fruit.

"You said you were a student of Ah Ping?" The old lady seemed to relax her vigilance, and slowly opened the door, "Oh, please come in and wait, he just went shopping."

To be honest, Luo Xu didn't know what the so-called Teacher Hu looked like, but he calmly led Zhu Yun and Zhu Qiu into the door and sat down. Looking at the age of the old lady, Hu Guangping must be at least 50 years old. It's normal to not be able to recognize them at times. Soldiers come to cover them with water and soil.

While he was busy installing magnets, Zhu Yun took a cursory glance and saw that the house was very clean, but it was a bit too simple, the interior furnishings were very simple, and the atmosphere of life was very weak.

"Sit down, I'll cut some fruit." The old lady walked into the kitchen as if remembering something, "Apple or pear?"

Luo Xu said, "It's all fine, please."

The old lady left, Zhu Yun stood up and began to walk around, looking at some family photos around.They are all old photos, either of Hu Guangping alone, or a group photo of mother and son.The old lady in the photo is younger, with a very amiable smile, but the middle-aged man's complexion is a bit gloomy.

Zhu Yun looked around and was a little puzzled: "It seems that this person has never been married?"

Luo Xu rubbed his chin: "Maybe it's a divorce? You see, these photos are a bit old. It doesn't look like he has been living with his mother all the time."

"Hmm..." Zhu Yun thought for a moment and thought it made sense.

The kitchen door opened again, and the old lady smiled a little embarrassedly: "I'm sorry I forgot, did you just say you want apples or pears?"

Luo Xu was stunned, and said, "You can do as you see, we won't choose."

"Okay." The figure of the old lady disappeared into the kitchen again.

"Brother Yun, come and see!" Zhu Qiu's voice was full of surprise.

Zhu Yun turned his head to look, but saw the little lizard sneaking into the bedroom that was concealed aside while the two were not prepared.He hurriedly dragged the person out: "Don't walk around, it's very impolite!"

The little lizard shook his head and struggled: "No, brother Yun, look!"

Zhu Yun took a look, and stood there blankly, only to see a black and white photo on the bedroom cabinet, as well as tributes. It was Hu Guangping.

He is already dead?But why did the old lady lie to them that he was just shopping for groceries?

"Hey, little classmate," the old lady's voice floated from the kitchen, "Are you eating apples right?"

Zhu Yun came back to his senses, hurriedly dragged Zhu Qiu out of the bedroom, and said loudly: "No, auntie, I eat pears." He recalled the details, and the old lady seemed to have a problem with her memory. Son still alive?

Zhu Yun glanced around, but Luo Xu was nowhere to be seen.He turned his head and saw another bedroom door that was originally locked, suddenly opened at this moment.

Zhu Yun approached the door and whispered, "Luo Xu?"

There was no response from inside, Zhu Yun caught a glimpse of the old lady still busy in the kitchen, so he boldly opened the door and went in.

The curtains were drawn in the room, and the light was dim. Zhu Yun looked around and found that most of the furniture was covered with white cloth.Luo Xu was standing in front of the bookshelf, looking at something intently.

Zhu Yun breathed a sigh of relief, walked over and said, "Why did you come in? Don't be afraid..." Before he finished speaking, he saw the booklet in Luo Xu's hand, and fell silent for an instant.

@无限好文, all in Jinjiang Literature City

This is an album of old newspaper clippings, and the page that Luo Xu is reading is the old news of H City.

It was written: Due to the untimely isolation measures, child teachers in the orphanage died one after another due to malignant infectious diseases, the director resigned to take the blame, and the government took over the orphanage and restructured it.

"This is... ten years ago?"

Luo Xu nodded, frowning, "Look." He slowly turned back a few pages, only to see Hu Guangping's newspaper clippings covering a time span of five or six years, and there are various missing family members looking for people in it. news.Zhu Yun took a closer look and found that those names were quite familiar.

After Luo Xu took out the employee roster of the orphanage and compared it, he said, "What kind of roster is this? It's the list of today's shooting!"

Turning to the last page of the newspaper clippings, there was only a line of pencil words scrawled on the back: What to do, she is coming to me.

"He must have discovered something." Zhu Yun suddenly raised his head, only to feel his heart beating slightly faster.

Ten years ago, the Internet was not well-developed, and missing person notices reported by local newspapers had little impact.Without constant attention to such events, it is difficult to link information from different time periods together.

But Hu Guangping not only found out, but also consciously sorted out an album of newspaper clippings, and even predicted his own death.The strange thing is, since he was afraid, why didn't he call the police?

Luo Xu's face was solemn: "This is not a place to talk, put it away first." The little lizard nodded, and quickly stuffed the book into the backpack.

They turned around and wanted to leave, but they saw a figure blocking the backlight door, it was Hu Guangping's mother.

Zhu Yun was a little embarrassed: "Sorry, well, we didn't mean it..."

"..." The old lady didn't say a word, she turned her head to look at the three of them with strange eyes, and suddenly took a step forward.

With a flash of white light, Zhu Qiu blurted out: "She has a knife in her hand!" As if startled by the voice, the old lady no longer concealed it, raised the kitchen knife, and slashed at the heads of several people without hesitation.

"Damn it, what kind of old lady is this!" Zhu Yun couldn't help but swear.

Luo Xu immediately protected Zhu Yun behind him, and Dayi said lingly: "I'll stop her, you go first."

Zhu Yun was speechless: "...you have to be able to leave."

Missing a hit, the old lady rushed towards several people again.She swung the knife in a random manner, but with great strength, when she chopped on the furniture, sawdust flew across in an instant.In the small room, she blocked the only exit, and no one could slip out for a while.

Pulling out the kitchen knife, she seemed to be muttering to herself: "You shouldn't have seen it. You shouldn't have come."

Seeing her facial muscles twitch and her gaze lacking focus, Zhu Yun realized that her memory had fallen into chaos.Before he could figure it out, the old lady came up to him again with a knife and said angrily, "Who told you to see it! Don't blame me! Who told you to see it?"

Zhu Yun managed to dodge a blow, and argued aggrievedly: "No, Auntie, I really didn't see anything!"

"Liar!!" The old lady glared, her silver hair was disheveled, her originally kind eyes were bloodshot, "Ping is a good boy, you, you are all liars!"

"You will speak out! You will destroy him!" Her face twisted, "No, I must, I must kill you—"

I don't know where Zhu Yun's words hit, and the crazy old lady's hatred was instantly filled.She also didn't care about Zhu Qiu and Luo Xu, and flew forward, vowing to chop Zhu Yun into meat paste.

Don't look at the old lady who is over seventy years old, but she has a dexterous figure and is obviously a square dancer
