Chapter 640, A Touch of Humanity in the Chaos
After chatting with Hu Hu, Ren Xiaosu also went to the kitchen to take a turn, the rice bucket was already running low, and Ren Xiaosu also specifically looked at the kitchen trash can, even the trash can could not see a little bit of oil and fishy, which showed that the living conditions of these children in the orphanage were really poor.
Nonsense followed behind and said: ”Know why I can’t bear to utilize Zhang Baogen? Just because he revealed his kind nature? No, or more than that.”
Ren Xiaosu turned back and quietly listened.
Only to hear Nonsense continue, “In fact, Zhang Bao Gen himself was also a child, without really having seen how the world is like, he was locked up in a mental hospital by the Qing Clan, fortunately, the Qing Clan is still considered to be slightly more benevolent within the consortium, and only observing their state, and didn’t harm them.”
“Zhang Bao Gen came here when he was penniless himself, some time ago, there was a child who said that he wanted to eat dumplings, that child was thrown to the door of the orphanage when he was three years old, to the age of twelve now, he only remembers a kind of celery and pork-flavored dumplings, that’s the only remaining memory that he has of his original that home, he doesn’t even remember what his mother looks like, but he still remembers the taste of the dumplings. ”
“Zhang Baogen had no money, so he went to the market to pick up celery leaves that others had thrown away, and begged the meat seller to give him a little bit of fat that others didn’t want, and I don’t know how he did it, but the other party really gave him a little bit of it,” said Hu Hu with a smile, “That day the orphanage looked like New Year’s Day. Later, Zhang Bao Gen went out to do odd jobs, help people wipe the car or something to earn a little money, and then every time he earned money, he bought meat back for the children to eat, but he himself did not taste a bite.”
“This time, I’m afraid he wouldn’t have gone out of his way to kill someone if the amount of money needed for cotton clothes wasn’t so great, and if the kids already had frostbite on their hands. You know what I value most about him? When he got here, he really wanted to cut off all that killing in his past and take care of the child. He also wants to eat meat, but he can be happy watching the children eat.”
Ren Xiaosu spoke out, “Don’t you have money, why don’t you buy things for the children.”
Nonsense looked at Ren Xiaosu and said, “Don’t mention this to me, that kid from the God’s altar took so much gold, and ended up not giving me any of it, saying that he wanted to keep it all for you, when I was an official at Li’s I was clean, so how could I have any money! I had some savings at first, but you don’t know how much these kids can eat, as the saying goes, half a big boy, eat dead old man, I was hard to be eaten poor by them!”
Ren Xiaosu froze: “Are you so poor?”
“Poor how?” Nonsense face blackened: “Money can’t buy happiness!”
Ren Xiaosu pondered for a moment and said, “It’s you who have too little money, so you can’t buy happiness!”
He turned around and went out, the next day at noon he came back with more than ten pounds of good pork and dozens of pounds of celery, behind him Zhou Yingxue also carried a large bag of flour, the whole orphanage children cheered.
This time, even Hu Hu followed everyone to make dumplings, Ren Xiaosu used two black knives to show the children fancy chopping dumpling filling, attracted a burst of applause from the children, Ren Xiaosu was very proud.
When the celery and pork dumplings came out of the pot, Zhou Yingxue stood beside the pot, but the children did not compete, under the instructions of Zhang Bao Gen, lined up in a disciplined manner, each person carrying a small bowl, the girls in the front, the boys in the back, the younger ones in the front, the older ones in the back.
Only when all the children had eaten did Zhang Bao Gen come over with a bowl full of embarrassment.
Zhou Yingxue smiled and gave him a bowl full of food, and Zhang Baogen also thanked Zhou Yingxue.
When they finished eating, the children sat on the chairs with bulging stomachs, they hadn’t eaten meat for too long and couldn’t stop eating.
A child smiled at Zhang Bao Gen and said, “Uncle Bao Gen, blow us a bubble!”
Zhang Bao Gen thought about it and even casually blew a magpie.
But saw the children look disgusted: “Uncle Baogen, why do you smell like celery pork in this bubble today ……”
……
After leaving the orphanage, Zhou Yingxue walked next to Ren Xiaosu and asked, “Master, you are quite humane today.”
“What flavor is humane,” Ren Xiaosu kindly laughed, “It’s just a momentary kindness, I ask myself that I can’t do what Zhang Baogen did to guard this group of children.”
“That’s better than nothing,” Zhou Yingxue said with a wry smile, “In this world, it’s very different to have a trace of human kindness. But how come you didn’t leave some money for them, Master?”
“They’re living just as happily without us,” Ren Xiaosu said, “At first I wanted to just leave a million dollars, but then I thought that maybe Nonsense was right, happiness here has nothing to do with money. And Qin Sheng and Zhang Qingxi will solve the problem of money here without us having to do more.”
From last night to today, Ren Xiaosu suddenly felt like experiencing a short period of tranquility.
After coming to Luo City his nerves were all taut, always on guard against the ubiquitous enemies, but this world shouldn’t have been like this, and suddenly, he was kind of looking forward to world peace.
Just as another wave of chaos subsided in Luo City, a group of more than twenty people were rushing towards the direction of Luo City in the distance outside of Luo City.
The person at the head had a red cloth covering his face, and it was none other than Knight Wu Dingyuan.
Originally, he had been traveling with his students according to the plan, but as a result, he was told of the crisis in Luo City just halfway through the trip, so he could only turn back with his students.
However, when he passed by Kong’s barriers on the way, he only rested for one night, but the vehicles were all destroyed by people with ulterior motives, so he could only travel on foot.
Wu Dingyuan knew that this was someone deliberately delaying his return to help, but he didn’t go to Kong’s to theorize about anything, things had come to a head, the knights must treat every consortium as an imaginary enemy.
Just when they were still three hundred kilometers away from L.A. City, Wu Dingyuan suddenly stopped, he looked at Vanilla and the old man playing with sugar paintings in front of him.
Vanilla laughed, “Anjingji Vanilla.”
The old man introduced himself as he boiled the sugar thinning, “Anjing Temple Tang Painting Dragon.”
Wu Dingyuan frowned, “Anjing Temple wants to make an enemy of my knights? Has it considered the consequences?”
Vanilla smiled and explained, “That’s why we appeared here, we have no intention to be enemies with the knights, and we also don’t want to kill in vain inside Luo City, so we don’t enter the barriers, we just hope that you, Wu Dingyuan, will also accompany us to have a chat here.”
“What if I say no,” Wu Dingyuan’s face cooled down, “then you will threaten me with these students behind me?”
“No, no, no,” Vanilla shook her head, “I, Vanilla, am not this kind of abusive person, it’s just that with the two of us against one of you, you really won’t be able to walk away.”
Wu Dingyuan stood in place, he suddenly realized that the people in Luo City were afraid to make a move.
