Chapter 627 Waiting
He seemed to notice something out of the corner of his eye, turned his head, and saw a word written on the pushed open iron door where he was.
zero.
Is this the room number?
Jiang Cheng frowned slightly, he seemed to vaguely remember something, and some scattered images flashed through his mind.
But before he could think about it, he heard a strange rubbing sound.
The sound was not loud, and it seemed that the person who made the sound was very cautious.
He looked up and found a door in the corridor opened, and then, a small head poked out from inside.
"Zero?" A voice came, although it was very low, it was hard to hide surprise.
It's a child, boy.
I can't see his face clearly, but he looks about 5 or 6 years old.
"Zero?" Jiang Cheng paused in his heart, "This child seems to regard me as the master of the room behind him."
He walked over calmly, and could see numbers written on the boy's door.is 4.
The boy in the No. 4 door first looked around and found nothing unusual, then walked out from behind the door, tiptoed towards Jiangcheng, and said quickly: "Zero, why did you sneak out, if you let Mr. know , you should be punished again."
Although he said so, his tone sounded very happy.
It seems that the relationship between the two is very good.
"I..." Jiang Cheng wanted to say something to prevaricate, but the other party didn't seem to doubt his identity at all, and directly took his hand and walked in another direction.
Along the way, the doors on both sides of the corridor kept opening, and behind each door stood a child, with different heights, fat and thin, including boys and girls.
"Zero came out?"
The news swept through this boring and cold place like a gust of wind, and these children walked out of the room carefully.
He noticed that there were corresponding numbers on each door, starting from zero, number 1, number 2, number 3... all the way to number 12, and number 13.
There are 14 doors in total, except for the one he came out of which is at the end, and the other 13 doors are distributed on both sides of the cold corridor.
Like a guard, guarding the door he walked out of.
Jiang Cheng stopped in front of a door. Unlike other doors, this door was open from the beginning. He looked inside, and it was empty.
And no one.
"No. 10." Jiang Cheng memorized the number.
Realizing that Jiang Cheng was looking into this door, the boy who came out of No. 4 door with him also stopped in his tracks, and said in an envious tone: "Mr. Arrange for him to go out to play."
Hearing this, a girl next to her said angrily, "Humph! Auntie, I'm doing okay, it's just that my husband is biased!" She raised her small fist, as if very powerful.
"Number 8, don't talk nonsense, sir's orders are never problematic." Saying such mature words in an immature voice makes people feel awkward.
Jiang Cheng turned his head and saw a taller boy. He could feel that the boy was also looking at him.
The tall boy seemed to be older than most children, and he spoke with a different temperament.
After being scolded, the girl who came out of door No. 8 quit immediately, "No. 3." She pinched her waist and stared at the tall boy, "Don't talk to me in that tone, I don't want anyone to control me! "
"Okay, okay, if you continue to quarrel, you will attract the husband." The child who came out of the No. 4 door threatened, "At that time, our plan will be ruined."
Hearing what No. 4 said, No. 8 girl, who was about to have a big fight, instantly lost her temper. The other children who made a fuss also seemed to have been poured with cold water, and the scene was immediately brought under control.
It can be seen that this man called Mr. is the absolute authority here.
And Jiang Cheng looked at the children around him. These children were not ordinary, otherwise they wouldn't be locked up in this kind of place.
Jiangcheng judged through experience that this place should be a place like an orphanage.
Because these children were all dressed in similar clothes, uniform blue and white striped plaid clothes, some wore slippers, and some were barefoot.
The ground is a very cold concrete floor. Normal people would not be willing to let their children step on the ground like this. It is only possible for orphans who are not wanted or cared about.
Obviously, these are abandoned children.
"Go, don't be in a daze." Boy No. 4 urged, "Let's go to the old place."
After speaking, the group of people seemed to have received an order. They immediately lined up and headed in one direction. They walked very carefully, with very light steps. After turning a few turns, they kept walking up the stairs.
Finally, they turned into a small and remote room at the end of a corridor corner.
The room was empty, but there was a rare small window with no glass installed, only a few heavily corroded iron bars lying there.
The outside wind blows in, bringing a touch of warmth.
As soon as they entered the room, a group of children turned around and closed the door as if they were guilty of guilt, and then crowded together by the narrow window, looking out.
The taller and older children could barely restrain themselves, but the younger children desperately squeezed to the front, leaning against the window, staring outside without blinking their eyelids.
Jiangcheng had only seen a similar scene in the zoo, the small animals waiting to be fed, but the feeling was different.
Time passed by, and just when Jiang Cheng was tired of waiting, suddenly, the children burst into shouts, and then turned around and ran out the door.
Jiang Cheng was so crowded that he stood there with a dazed expression on his face. After a while, he walked to the empty window, took a look outside, and a figure came into his sight.
He was also a child, wearing the same clothes as other children, with a slightly fat body and a gray bag on his back.
Jiang Cheng immediately confirmed the identity of the person who came, and it should be the child in the vacant door No. 10.
It seemed that those children were waiting for him.
Curious, Jiang Cheng turned and walked out the door.
The first time he saw No. 10, Jiang Cheng was surprised by the scene. He could feel that No. 10 was more popular among this group of children, but he didn't expect it to be such a scene.
The vicious No. 8 girl jumped on No. 10 when she saw No. 10, hanging on him like a koala, "Wow! No. [-], you are finally back!"
"Hey, No. 8 is the most obedient. Guess what gift I brought you!" No. 10 put down the bag behind him, knelt down and supported her with his hand in order not to crush the girl.
Immediately afterwards, in the expectant eyes of girl No. 8, she took out a small thing from the bag with a smile, "Look!"
It is a small hammer not much bigger than a key pendant. In some small commodity supermarkets, it is estimated that it will not cost 10 yuan.
"It's a hammer!" Girl No. 8 snatched it over and said excitedly.
Although they couldn't see their faces clearly and everything in this world seemed to be covered in a layer of fog, Jiang Cheng could feel the excitement in the girl's eyes.
Immediately afterwards, like Santa Claus, No. 10 took out worthless little things from the broken bag and distributed them to each child with a smile.
With each gift being sold, there will be a burst of cheers from the crowd. Everyone gathers together, and the scene is more lively than New Year's Eve.
Number 4's gift was a mask. After he put on the mask, Number 10 picked him up from behind and put him on his shoulders.
Number 4 is like a knight, commanding Number 10 to chase other children.
The 3rd received a book and the 6th received a dagger.
Looking at this group of children, Jiang Cheng suddenly realized something. After returning on the 10th, the cold orphanage suddenly became like a home.
