The dawn of early winter comes later and later.
It became increasingly difficult for Yunchu to crawl out of bed.
However, she had her own persistence. After squinting her eyes for a moment, she got up, put on her casual clothes, and followed Qiu Tong to the yard to practice martial arts.
It has been half a year since she started practicing martial arts. She has found that her strength is getting stronger and her reactions are getting more and more sensitive. Although she is still not able to fight one against ten, she has no problem protecting herself. .
The maids Tingxue and Tingfeng who practiced martial arts with her were also much stronger physically than before.
"Next, the slave will start teaching the young lady how to use the dagger."
Qiu Tong also had a short sword in his hand. He performed a set of sword skills in front of Yun Chu, and then taught Yun Chu one move after another in detail.
After getting the basics, Yun Chu learns faster and faster.
"Mom, what are you doing?"
Children's voices sounded in the morning light.
Yun Chu turned around and saw the little guy lying at the door, his little head sticking out, looking here curiously.
Tingxue hurriedly went over and put a thick coat on her little master.
"It turns out that my mother has to learn martial arts every morning. I have lived with my mother for so long, and I know it now." The little guy pouted, "I want to learn too."
Yun Chu put away the dagger, walked over and picked him up: "Of course you can learn if you want, but you have to take good care of yourself first."
"My body is great." The little guy snuggled into Yunchu's arms. "Learning martial arts is a man's business. Mom, please don't learn it. It's too hard. Now my father can protect you when he grows old. , I will grow up and I can protect my mother."
Yun Chu is sweeter than eating honey.
She carried the child into the house and put clothes on him: "You study hard first, and when it's time to learn martial arts, you will naturally be able to learn it."
She has been learning martial arts for half a year and knows how hard it is to learn martial arts, and she doesn't want her children to suffer.
After getting dressed and having breakfast, Yun Chu sent Brother Yu to the other side of the doorway. Manager Cheng took the little boy to the front yard and then sent him to the Imperial College.
It was already bright.
Yunchu woke the little girl up from the bed: "Chang Sheng, wake up. After breakfast, my mother will take you to a fun place."
The little girl blinked her big confused eyes, and it took her a while to wake up completely.
She sat down on the bed obediently. She didn't ask Yun Chu to dress her. She just wore what she knew how to wear. She was very obedient.
Yunchu wanted to take the child to a shelter.
Today is the first day the shelter officially accepts orphans.
There are many children there, and staying with children of the same age is good for Changsheng's body and mind.
She took Tingxue and Qiu Tong, who were her personal attendants, and four bodyguards, and rode a carriage toward the shelter in the suburbs of Beijing.
After walking for about half an hour, I saw rows of houses built on the ground of the shelter. The houses were surrounded by walls. There was also a low mountain and a lake. There were mountains and water, and it looked refreshing.
"Chu'er, you're here."
Yun Qin walked in front to welcome Yun Chu's arrival.
Although she was a few years older than Yun Chu and was Yun Chu's cousin, she was too far away and she would never dare to act like a cousin in front of Yun Chu.
"Cousin Qin is so polite." Yun Chu got out of the car with the child in his arms, "Are everything ready?"
After Yunqin took charge of the shelter, she moved out of her parents' home and lived and ate in the shelter. Yunqin was in charge of everything here.
"It's all ready." Yun Qin said with a smile, "I'm just waiting for you to unveil the plaque."
As she spoke, her eyes glanced at the child in Yun Chu's arms. She was wondering whose child this was, and how could he be so close to Chu'er.
There is a little girl of about the same age in the Xie family. Could it be that she is a child of the Xie family?
But no matter who this child is, it is not something that her distant cousin can control.
Yun Qin led Yun Chu and his party to the gate.
He raised his head and saw a plaque hanging above the door, covered by a piece of red cloth.
There were many ragged children at the door. The oldest was about ten years old and the youngest was a baby. They were held in the arms of the shelter helpers.
A small number of these children were sent away by their families without mercy.
Most of them are orphans wandering and begging. After they heard about the existence of the shelter, they came here to see what it was like.
Yun Chu handed Chang Sheng to Ting Xue to hold.
Now that the little girl and Tingxue are familiar with each other, it won't be a big deal if they are held by another person.
Yun Chu walked up the steps, stood under the plaque, and looked at a large group of homeless orphans standing at the gate.
"I am Yun Chu. Some of you may know me, but you don't know what I have experienced." Her gentle voice flowed in everyone's ears like a gurgling stream, "At some point in the past, I fell into In the endless darkness, it was the child's laughter that pulled me out of the darkness. To me, children are the purest creatures in the world... Maybe it was from that time that the seeds of love were planted in my heart. I planted a seed and wanted to save those homeless children and create a warm home for them."
She stretched out her hand and pulled off the red silk cloth, revealing three words: Ci Gu Tang.
"From now on, Cigu Hall will be your home." She said with a smile, "You may have complained about life, or you may have thought about giving up your life, but I want to ask you to continue to believe that each of you is a member of this world. The most unique existence. In the past, you were one person, but from now on, you are a family... No matter how cold the winter is, we will eventually usher in the blooming spring."
After she finished speaking, the vigilant children slowly lowered their guard and looked at the gate curiously.
Yun Chu curled his lips: "Children who decide to stay here, please come in and register your name, and then come with me to get the quilt and clothes. Don't waste time eating."
Except for the babies who were abandoned by their parents and didn't know how to make a choice, the older children looked at each other and were a little hesitant.
"What are you afraid of..." an older child whispered, "This is only the first day. Even if they are bad guys, they won't reveal their true colors so quickly. We can eat together and take away quilts and clothes. , no matter how you look at it, we have made a profit, let’s go, let’s go in!”
The oldest child takes the lead, and the other children immediately follow.
Yunqin sat at the entrance and registered them: "What is your name, where are you from, and why did you come to Cigu Hall alone... It doesn't matter if you don't remember. The purpose of registering these is to re-register your household registration..."
The children who filled in the information followed Yunchu inside.
As soon as they entered, these children felt that this place was completely different from the ruined temple. The house was new, and the tables and chairs inside were all new. They could vaguely see the neat beds in the wing.
"Boys and girls stand separately." Yun Chu stood at the front and said, "Line up one by one."
At this time, Chen Defu had people push the new quilts and clothes he bought on carts, and more than a dozen carts were all piled up.
The smell of sun-stained cotton spread into the children's nostrils, and each of them looked in disbelief.
Is this new quilt just for them?
It seemed that I could smell a scent on the tip of my nose. It was the scent of meat!
The saliva of these children immediately flowed down.
