Zhang Qilu stayed alone in his studio for seven days and nights. During this time, no one knew what he was doing inside.
Looking at the finished product in front of him, he let out a long sigh. Suddenly, the genius boy's legs were imprisoned and he lost his ability to move. He couldn't fight or run away when encountering trouble. He could only rely on his own mouth. This made Zhang Qilu somewhat uncomfortable at first. Panic, but he still got through it. This sigh is really meaningful.
Zhang Qilu was already asleep in bed. Li Xiaoxiao didn't watch TV or do anything else. She was watching her brother silently. The jade charm of peace hung around her neck. Zhang Qilu made a base for the jade charm with gold and embedded the jade in it. Although it seemed a bit heavy to wear around Li Xiaoxiao's neck, she didn't care at all because it was a gift from Brother Qi.
Liu Silong is currently sitting in a small pavilion in the yard, reading a book. The book is an elementary school student exercise book that Zhang Qilu gave her yesterday.
"Hey Fatty, we'll be leaving in a moment. Go and clean up." Xu Qianqian ran over and urged.
Liu Silong continued to look at the book in his hand without raising his head and said, "Where are we going? I have nothing to pack."
"What's the use of just feeding the little fat guy? Let's give him a hand and practice."
About the same age, about the same experience, and about the same hobbies, these two girls stick together whenever they have free time these days. Because of Zhang Qilu's existence, the two's cultivation has improved rapidly during this period, and fighting each other has become one of the most common things they do.
Just as the two sisters were getting ready, Xu Qian, who was covered in travels, walked over from the outer courtyard.
"Have you found Senior Brother?"
"No."
Seeing the eldest brother's tiredness, Xu Qianqian did not bother him. She took out a wooden "Nothing" sign from her pocket and handed it to Xu Qian and said, "Elder eldest brother, this is what my junior uncle asked me to give to you."
Xu Qian took the wooden sign and looked at it carefully. The sign was about the size of a palm, the wood was crystal clear, and the background was golden. The wood grain is clearly scattered with dotted patterns, and there is nothing else except a talisman carved in the middle of the wooden sign. This is a wooden talisman.
Xu Qian held the wooden talisman and felt a peaceful and peaceful spiritual power lingering on it. In just a moment, his tiredness subsided a little.
...
This is a children's home at the junction of the suburbs of Qinchuan City. A small two-story building, the building is small and the walls are mottled. The exterior walls are covered with red and green ivy, which adds a touch of life to the place.
All the adoption procedures for Li Xiaoxiao have been completed, and Brother Xu, who is in charge of finance, has now become her nominal adoptive father. But they still decided to come to the orphanage to stay for a few days. It was necessary to make some impressions on the staff and children of the orphanage.
Liu Silong pushed Zhang Qilu at this time. She was very natural and showed no reluctance. When her master Jing Rifei asked her to be the driver for these two little brats, she was very resistant, but now she no longer has the slightest intention to do so. She complained, and she looked like an obedient maid in front of Zhang Qilu.
The director of the orphanage, whose surname is Fang, is a kind-hearted middle-aged woman who is introducing the orphanage to Zhang Qilu and the others.
"This is the playground, and the two buildings over there are a utility room and a duty room."
Dean Fang has always been supported by the Qianjumen. This time, he only knew that the Menli rescued a poor orphan from a trafficker. The Xu family decided to adopt him and asked the hospital to help with the procedures.
Xu Qianqian greeted on the side and said, "Dean Fang, I'm sorry to trouble you this time. The child has been imprisoned by the traffickers for a long time. Now he has some psychological problems, so he wants to stay here for two days to see how he can live in a group with some children of the same age." Will it be of some help to her?"
Having said this, everyone looked to the side of the playground, where Li Xiaoxiao was playing happily on the children's slide.
Xu Qianqian smiled awkwardly, "Dean, look, this child has become much more cheerful since he came here. This time I really trouble you."
"It's okay, it's okay. If you don't bother me, I'll take you to meet the staff and children here."
In addition to the director, this children's home also has three staff members, a female teacher wearing glasses. The aunt who is responsible for purchasing and catering, and the old man who is responsible for cleaning and guarding the door.
There are now more than twenty children here, the youngest ones are six or seven years old, and most of them are about the same age as Zhang Qilu and Li Xiaoxiao.
There was a child who left a deep impression on everyone, because this child looked a bit like Zhang Qilu. He also had a delicate appearance and his legs and feet were not very good.
Next, the dean introduced the children to each other. This child with handicap was named Xiaojie. His grandmother who raised him suddenly passed away two months ago. The local security personnel could not contact his parents who were working in Shanghai, so they sent him away. After arriving at the orphanage, he didn't expect that he would stay there for only two months and there was still no news from his parents.
Get up, wash, eat, study, and watch TV with a group of peers. This is something Zhang Qilu and Li Xiaoxiao have never experienced before.
Li Xiaoxiao became the eldest sister to all the children on the first day. Her open-mindedness and cheerfulness infect the children here, and all the children are willing to play with her, not to mention her little schoolbag full of snacks and candies. After the meal, she took this schoolbag and gave out candies to the children watching TV. At this time, Zhang Qilu can see the expectation and hope in the children's eyes.
The person who played best with Li Xiaoxiao was a teenage girl named Xiaoling. With two small ponytails. Follow Li Xiaoxiao happily all day long.
Because conditions were really limited, Xu Qianqian returned to Qianjumen. Liu Silong lived alone in the duty room. The weather was hot and there were many mosquitoes, but she didn't take it seriously at all and just read his exercise book for elementary school students all day long. Sometimes I can even sit and move all day and night.
The carefree days passed very quickly. Three days passed in the blink of an eye. I was originally planning to go back to Senjumen today, but I didn't expect something unexpected to happen as soon as I got up in the morning.
Early in the morning, before Zhang Qilu got up, he heard someone say that Xiaojie and Xiaoling were missing.
Everyone was shocked at first when they heard this, and then immediately calmed down. Who among the children in the orphanage would really care. They are like a wild flower on the roadside, no one cares whether they are there or not.
Others didn't care, but Li Xiaoxiao did. This was the first time Zhang Qi saw Li Xiaoxiao cry. She just smiled openly when faced with life and death. Even if she was beaten to the ground, she would just get up with a smile after sleeping and continue eating.
Seeing Li Xiaoxiao like this, Zhang Qilu was heartbroken.
"Dean, can't you call the police?" Zhang Qi asked Dean Fang
"Xiao Qi, it's not that I don't call the police, even if I go to the police, the security officers won't take care of you. Not to mention a child from an orphanage, it's the same for a child from a normal family. They won't do anything if it hasn't been 48 hours since you disappeared. Accepted. Lost children in orphanages often happen. Most of the children are ignorant and run out to find their parents. Some will come back on their own after two days when they are hungry."
Zhang Qilu did not argue with the dean because he knew what the dean said was right. He wiped the tears on Li Xiaoxiao's face and said, "Xiaoxiao, go and call Silong."
Before Li Xiaoxiao could go out, Liu Silong hurried in and said, "The person has been found."
The person was found in a pond not far from the orphan. The boy named Xiaojie had died in the pond.
Everyone was lamenting that the two children might have drowned because of the hot weather while playing in the water, and they were discussing whether to go out and fish for Xiaoling.
Zhang Qilu said, "Dean, please call the police. Xiaojie was not playful and drowned. The drowned person had his hands and feet forward, his mouth was closed, his eyes were opening and closing uncertainly, his hands were clenched, and the soles of his feet were wrinkled and white but not swollen. There are traces of light blood and scratches. Because people struggle when they fall into the water. The Qi pulse circulates, so water is pumped into the intestines. The hands are naturally curled. There is mud on the hands and feet. There is water foam flowing out of the mouth and nose, and there is swelling in the abdomen. Based on this, it is judged that the child is small Jie was killed by someone and then thrown into the pool. So Xiaoling couldn't have been caught by something under the pool. She should have been kidnapped by someone."
Zhang Qilu said to Liu Silong, "Go and talk to Sister Qianqian and ask her to send out everyone in the door to find someone. Just tell them that a friend of my junior sister-in-law is missing. Let's go back now."
