Interstellar boss, she doesn't talk about martial arts

Chapter 1024 Will Not Forget (First update, please give me a monthly ticket!)
Xia Yuanfang knew these two names, and she fell silent for a moment.

After a while, Xia Yuanfang said, "Please help me burn a stick of incense for them and tell them that I will not let their deaths be in vain."

Xia Chujian nodded: "I know, aunt, I won't let their deaths be in vain."

We must make that person pay the corresponding price!
……

Because we were going to Zangge Star to pay tribute to two deceased classmates, no activities were held in the first class cabin.

Each of them stayed in their own cabin.

Some people took this opportunity to start writing a summary of the expedition.

Xia Chujian was also "writing", but she asked Qilu to write for her.

She planned to just take a look at what Qi Lu had "written" and then make some revisions.

There was still time left, and she wanted to take a nap.

After all, she had just "recovered", and her weakness was obvious to everyone.

When I woke up, I had arrived at the airport outside the atmosphere above Changliu County, the capital of Zangge Star.

Xia Chujian has been here.

Before going to college, the Special Security Bureau arranged for her to go to Kanli Star to participate in the flight training. Because of a competition, she had to fly over the asteroid belt, so she flew from Kanli Star to Zangge Star.

Zanggexing is the base camp of the Quan family, and their ancestral home is here.

Xia Chujian also stayed in the Quan family's ancestral home for a few days.

She came out of the interstellar spaceship's port, followed her classmates onto the craft, and stared at the city below in a daze.

The orphanage where Gudemao and Pan Nanjie live is in the suburbs of Changliu County.

This orphanage is not the big orphanage on Zangge Star.

However, although they were mentally prepared, they were still a little dumbfounded when they stood at the door of the very dilapidated orphanage and looked at the "Gupan Orphanage" sign that was already in danger of falling down.

This orphanage is not just shabby!
Chen Yanjun pointed at the doorplate and said, "This is called Gupan Orphanage. Do all the orphans here have the last name Gu or Pan?"

Jiang Sheng said, "It's probably an orphanage jointly run by a man named Gu and a man named Pan, right?"

There were eight of them, all wearing the uniforms of the Empire's First Military Academy, standing at the entrance of the dilapidated and messy orphanage, very eye-catching.

The gate opened, and an old woman who looked like a wrinkled potato stood in front of them and asked in confusion, "Excuse me, who are you looking for?"

Xia Chujian said: "We are classmates of Gu Demao and Pan Nanjie, and we came here specially to see them today."

The old woman understood at once, and a hint of moisture appeared in her cloudy eyes.

She raised her sleeve to wipe the corners of her eyes, silently opened the big iron gate and invited them in.

Xia Chujian walked in with her classmates.

This orphanage is located in the suburbs of Changliu County, the capital of Zangge Star, but it is not a wealthy suburb where the upper class or rich people live.

But near the desolate and depressed village.

The stone exterior is worn and mottled, covered with vines and moss.

The tall iron gate was rusty, eerie and heavy.

The top of the iron gate is covered with spikes, like javelins, piercing towards the sky.

Each iron rod was decorated with intricate patterns, but now it is no longer possible to see what the patterns are.

There are two symmetrical iron rings on the iron gate. The surface of the iron rings is also covered with signs of wear and rust, revealing a dark reddish-brown base layer.

The bottom of the iron gate, close to the ground, had completely rotted away and turned gray-brown. It seemed that if it was kicked casually, the big iron gate would fall down.

The crooked sign that was about to fall off was hanging on the stone wall to the right of the iron gate.

From the gray castle-like house of the orphanage to the big iron gate is an abandoned yard.

The ground was overgrown with weeds and the flower beds on both sides of the bluestone road were abandoned.

The ground was dry and patchy in early summer, but there were still a few unknown egg-yolk-colored wild flowers sticking out from the weeds.

The further you go in, the more musty and damp the smell becomes.

Xia Chujian looked around and couldn't help asking, "Is this an orphanage?"

The old woman nodded silently.

Xia Chujian said: "...then why didn't you see the child?"

Even if it's a shabby orphanage, shouldn't the children be allowed to play outside in broad daylight?
Even in prison, there is time for exercise...

Unexpectedly, the old woman smiled and said, "They have all been taken away... Ever since Ah Mao and Ah Jie... passed away, some kind-hearted people have come here and taken all the orphans to the orphanage in the city."

"It's better there. I can eat well, go to school, and I don't have to work all day long."

"Those kids are going to a good place."

Xia Chujian raised her eyebrows, very surprised: "Did he take her away recently?"

The old woman nodded: "Only about ten days."

"They sent Ah Mao and Ah Jie back, and gave our orphanage some money, saying it was some kind of pension..."

"I didn't know anything, so I asked if I could use the money to send the children to a better orphanage."

"Besides, I am old and I don't know when I will be buried."

"If I leave, what will happen to these children?"

Chen Yanjun was listening quietly at the side, and couldn't help asking, "So how did you get by before?"

The old woman sighed and said, "The previous funds have been used up, and the donations from kind-hearted people are getting less and less."

"Later, the orphans grew up and went out to work, occasionally sending some money back." "Amao and Ajie were originally the most outstanding orphans in our Gupan Orphanage in hundreds of years."

“They have deep feelings for this place.”

"Before I even went to college, I worked part-time to earn money to buy nutrient solution for my younger brothers and sisters."

"Even though it's low-quality nutrient solution, it's enough nutrition and I won't go hungry."

"They are both very capable. They found stable part-time jobs right after entering high school."

"I got an exceptionally good score in the college entrance examination, and was ranked in the top 20 on Zangge Star!"

"They went to military school, and some kind-hearted people sponsored their tuition and living expenses, so our orphanage doesn't have to pay for them!"

"Once they started school, the money they sent back every month doubled!"

Chen Yanjun's words seemed to open the old woman's chatterbox, and she started muttering to herself.

After listening to this, Xia Chujian asked curiously, "Where did they find part-time jobs? Did they also have part-time jobs when they went to Beichen Star to attend university?"

Jiang Sheng was also quite curious and muttered, "They are both in school all day and night and have never left the school. I don't know where they found it... Could it be that they are working remotely?"

This is all possible.

The old woman frowned and said, "I don't know either. Anyway, they are all good kids and will never do bad things!"

"The money they got back was all clean!"

Xia Chujian said hurriedly: "You misunderstood, that's not what we meant."

"We just want to hear more about our two classmates."

The old woman relaxed her brows and continued to chatter on and on, telling them the interesting stories of Gudemao and Pan Nanjie from childhood to adulthood.

As Xia Chujian listened, she followed him into the orphanage's dilapidated stone castle.

Although it was daytime, the hall was still dim.

Because the windows here are tall and small, like a narrow gap.

The sunlight shines through the narrow gap, and you can see the dust dancing in the sunlight.

The wooden floor has lost its original color and is full of cracks, making a creaking sound when you walk on it.

In the corner, on the gray-white spider web, a big black spider was lying quietly.

There were several abstract oil paintings hanging on the wall, as well as tapestries with no figures visible on them. They were badly faded and had black and moldy frames.

Two rows of broken benches and tables were neatly placed in the middle of the hall, as if still waiting for the children who had left.

The old woman led them straight through the hall and into the backyard of the castle.

In the corner of the backyard, there are two rectangular tombstones standing.

The old woman, hunched over, hobbled over, wiped the two tombstones with her sleeves, and said, "They are here."

Then he said to the tombstone: "Amao, Ajie, your classmates are here to see you."

Xia Chujian walked over and looked at the two tombstones carefully.

Surprisingly, the material of this tombstone looks very good.

Liang Peng, who is familiar with the mines, took a look and said, "This tombstone is made of corundum. It is very strong and will last for thousands of years."

After a moment of silence, he added: "...It's very expensive."

Xia Chujian touched it with his hand and asked, "How do you mean it's not expensive?"

Liang Peng looked at the orphanage and said, "It's probably enough to buy ten orphanages like this. It would be no problem to raise 500 children until they reach adulthood."

The other students all gasped and went up to touch the two tombstones in disbelief.

Xia Chujian remained calm and asked the old woman, "Excuse me, did you erect this tombstone for them?"

The old woman shook her head: "It's not me. We don't even have food to eat in the orphanage. Where can we get the money to buy a tombstone?"

"This is the monument set up by the people who sent them back. By the way, they said they were from your school. Didn't you know?"

When she learned that it was her own school that handled the funeral arrangements for her two classmates, Xia Chujian felt as if a small gap had quietly opened up in her heart, which had been filled with unbearable pain.

This world is not hopeless yet, there are still good people, right?
Chen Yanjun said directly: "At least they have done something! Most of the orphans here are taken over by our school and sent to orphanages with better conditions."

Everyone thinks so.

Xia Chujian looked at the gold-embossed words on the tombstone, which included the names of two classmates, their dates of birth and death, and another line of words.

"We will remember your deeds and you will not be forgotten."

Xia Chujian: "..."

It is indeed a bit strange to have this line of words engraved here.

But she didn't think much about it, and just quietly used the camera on the quantum optical computer watch to take pictures of the two tombstones.

After the eight people offered incense to Gudemao and Pan Nanjie respectively, they left 40,000 Beichen coins for the old woman.

Each of them paid 5,000 in cash.

If it is just to maintain ordinary living needs, it will be enough for the old man to live for a long time.

The old man was reluctant to take it at first, and pushed it away, saying, "You don't have to pay me."

"I can get a pension now. Five hundred dollars a month, enough for me to eat and drink."

This is the first update. There will be a second update with a super long chapter at 12:05 noon!

Today is the last day of June!

It’s time to clear out your monthly tickets, darlings!
