The yellow-haired villain in Feng Aotian's novel also wants to be happy

The old man suddenly threw a piece of paper to Mu En.

"Luota Orphanage, this is..." Mu En took a look and found an address on the piece of paper.

"Go there and have a look."

The old man changed into a comfortable position, closed his eyes and continued to doze off.

"Maybe you can find the truth you want."

[WEB] 127. The tenderness of a girl

Lotta Orphanage.

In the morning mist, Mammy poked out half of her head from behind the door, cautiously looking at the man in black dress in front of her.

"This master... May I ask who are you looking for?"

"Hello."

Mu En took off her top hat and greeted politely:

"I'm Bruce Wayne, a... philanthropist."

"philanthropist?"

Mammy still looked suspicious, but when Mu En passed a gold-plated card, the suspicion and indifference on her face immediately melted away like winter snow.

There is an official certification on the card, which describes in detail how many colleges this master named Bruce has built and donated. Food, loved by the people at the bottom, is a rare, benevolent noble lord.

Mammy immediately changed her enthusiastic attitude and welcomed Mu En in respectfully.

"Oh, sir, why didn't you say hello in advance? We haven't prepared anything yet."

"This way I can see the truest appearance of this orphanage, isn't it? This will determine the extent of my donation."

Mu En showed a smile, and followed Mammy into the orphanage.

Then his smile faltered.

Outside the door, blocked by the tall fence, he couldn't see it.

But when he walked into the gate, he realized that this orphanage...was really dilapidated.

At the end of the wide yard, a row of houses made of earth and mud are arranged evenly, but time has left indelible marks on the houses. The walls are full of gaps, most of the glass is broken, and then pasted with newspapers. There are several large holes, which are simply covered with thatch.

Only this yard is spacious enough, with many scattered trees and simple play facilities.

Can this kind of house really survive the winter?

"Why is it so dilapidated?"

Mu En frowned, a little annoyed, "The orphanage should have funds distributed by the above."

"Those funds... are too little."

Mammy clutched her worn-out apron and said hesitantly:

"Moreover, the funds have been getting less and less in recent years. The higher-ups feel that there is no need for our orphanage to exist, and there are no people to adopt orphans every year. If it weren't for the donations of money from well-meaning people these years, this orphan The hospital has long been unable to continue."

"No one came to claim the orphan?"

Mu En was puzzled and was about to ask a question when a clear bell rang in the courtyard.

Then the whole orphanage came to life completely. A few minutes later, the children rubbed their sleepy eyes one by one, walked out of the house, and went to a small room on the side, with the help of the nuns who had been waiting there. , began to wash.

"This is……"

Mu En's heart tightened for a moment, because all the children in sight had disabilities of varying degrees.

lack of hands.

Missing feet.

blind.

Deaf.

harelip.

Albinism.

These children walked past Mu En, but he didn't see a normal or complete person.

"Is that why no one adopted them?"

Mu En suddenly realized, how could someone adopt a group of disabled children?

But then his heart throbbed,

"These children can only stay until the age of 11?"

"Master, do you know?"

Mammy showed bitterness and self-blame on her face, and said with rosy eyes:

"There is no way. It is the limit of what we can do to let them spend their childhood safely."

"That's it."

Mu En couldn't help sighing.

Just like what the nanny said, there is only so much that can be done for this impoverished orphanage, and there is no need to criticize it too much.

This is the limitation of this era.

"Are all the children in this orphanage disabled?"

"Well, they are all children that other orphanages are not willing to accept, and there are always some more or less physical defects."

Only accept defective children that other orphanages refuse to accept?

That senior sister...

No, strictly speaking, although the senior sister has sound limbs, she is the most handicapped child in this orphanage.

Next, Mu En followed the nanny to take him all the way to visit, and those orphans who were handicapped looked at him, a rare guest, very curiously, Mu En smiled slightly, and took out a lot of candies, snacks and toys like a magic trick The whole orphanage soon resounded with the children's laughter.

Just out of the corner of his eye, he saw a little girl hiding far away, seemingly unwilling to approach.

……

Later, Mu En was brought to an old woman whose hair was all white. She was the director of the orphanage.

After some self-introduction, Mu En directly explained her background.

"I want to investigate someone."

"Who?"

"Anna Capelin."

"...Who are you to her?"

"friend."

"friend?"

The dean showed a somewhat surprised expression, and took a deep look at Mu En.

"What a surprise, that child who has always closed his heart actually has friends.

Moreover, looking at you like this, it seems that you are more than just friends. "

The dean has the sophistication to read people's hearts, and as expected, he handed a stack of documents to Mu En.

"Actually, there's nothing to investigate. The child in the orphanage is just an ordinary girl who doesn't fit in at all and is very withdrawn, but goes crazy when alone."

"No, what you said, dean, is hard to appear on an ordinary girl, okay?"

Mu En smiled, took the file and began to read it.

The file is not thick, just a simple record of the girl.

The girl recorded here is exactly the same as the former self that the senior said. She would sneak out in the morning, play around wildly and then come back.

He will buy candy with the money he earns and give it to the nuns to distribute, but he never interacts with other children in the orphanage.

There is nothing special about it, nothing can be seen from the documents alone.

"Senior sister...Anna, has she ever come back since she left the orphanage?" Mu En closed the file and asked softly.

"No." The dean replied firmly.

"No?"

Mu En was taken aback.

This is not like the style of senior sisters.

"Not once?"

"Of course, I have neither returned nor sent money to the orphanage. As long as I leave the orphanage, it has nothing to do with us, right?"

The dean suddenly became indifferent.

"Mr. Bruce, even if you are Anna's friend, since your purpose is not to donate to the orphanage, please don't waste our time. I still have a lot of things to do about the children."

"……Do not."

Mu En was silent for a while, then turned her head to look out the window, opened and closed and clenched her palms continuously, and murmured in a low voice.

I always feel that the dean is hiding something.

"Let me look again, please.

Behind the house is a large piece of farmland owned by the orphanage.

Now is the harvest season. After breakfast, these children precociously held various tools to help the nuns harvest. Some of them looked only three or four years old, some were still wearing crutches, and some even had to They fumbled forward, but even such a group of children abandoned by fate seemed quite happy here, with innocent smiles on their faces.

When Mu En came to the bank of the field, the children immediately waved their hands and shouted Mr. Bruce when they saw him.

Mu En also smiled and nodded in response. It seems that those candies and snacks before him have indeed earned enough favor.

But Mu En was not so happy in her heart.

Because his purpose of coming here is still helpless, even if the old man asked him to come to the orphanage to find the possible truth, but... how to find it?

Senior sister had left this orphanage ten years ago, and the headmaster said that she had never come back, and she had already lost contact with this orphanage. How could there be such a so-called "truth" here?

The incident that happened not long ago has nothing to do with this orphanage, no matter how you look at it.

"It seems that only give up?"

Instead of wasting time on such futile things, why not think about how to kill Yue...

Ok?

Mu En, whose irritability almost turned into murderous intent, suddenly looked under a tree next to the field.

Out of tune with the harmonious atmosphere, a little girl in black was sitting under a tree alone, concentrating on drawing something.

The people in the orphanage seemed to have gotten used to the little girl's unsociality, and even the nuns didn't care about the little girl's blatant "lazy" behavior at all.

"She is……"

Mu En recognized the little girl. When he distributed candy and snacks just now, that little girl was the only child who was not attracted.

"I always feel... there is an inexplicable sense of disobedience."

……

……

"What are you drawing?"

The little girl raised her head vigilantly, and looked up at the strange man beside her.

After a while, she gathered her little feet together and said softly:

"cake."

"cake?"

Mu En's eyes fell on the drawing board, and the corners of her mouth twitched.
