Bulwark of Light

Chapter 27 orphanage

Light rain.

It was raining lightly.

Landed in the car, covered in soft, soothing piano tunes, everything was quiet save for the slow push of the windshield wipers.

Gu Shen sat in the co-pilot, sighed across his sleeves with his palms, wiped the side glass, looked at the back-flowing high-rise buildings, the increasingly empty isolation belt, the car drove onto the highway, heading towards the remote and desolate Suburban march.

“Wulaoshan…why go to such a remote place?”

Nan Jin’s windbreaker is taken off and stacked on the back seat, and she is not always in the windbreaker She was wearing that tight-fitting battle suit. For an informal casual occasion like today, she was wearing a snow-white shirt with washed jeans. Perhaps because of her posture, the shirt was taut and her red hair was in a bun. , It seems that it has nothing to do with violent madness, and is more like an intellectual and gentle Senior Sister.

“You haven’t seen my file, you should know.” Holding a sleeping orange cat in his arms, Gu Shen said softly, “That’s where I grew up. “

Nan Jin was startled.

Of course she knew that Gu Shen grew up in an orphanage…but the name of that orphanage is…

“Morning light orphanage.” Gu Shen scratched his head, “It’s tacky. It’s normal if I can’t remember the name of the orphanage, the man who sponsored the orphanage was named Zhou Chenguang, so he was named after him.”

The location of the orphanage is very far away, and the icon marked on the map is at the place of Wu Lao Near the mountain valley, this distance… It takes three and a half hours to drive from Dateng city.

“Senior Sister didn’t say that the guys from the review team are coming, so I thought, since I have to hide… it’s better to hide away.” Gu Shen laughed, stroking the orange cat’s back Jin Liang’s hair: “There should be no place more biased than Wu Laoshan. Even if they have seen the archives, they should not have come all the way here.”

“And… “Gu Shen whispered: “Orphanage’s mother-in-law is very kind to me. She hasn’t made a name for herself in two years, so she’s been embarrassed to go back.”

Nan Jin expressed his understanding.

The trunk is full of packaged fresh fruit, organic vegetables, two cartons of milk and a large basket of eggs.

“I thought about it later, but it shouldn’t be like this. No matter how it goes, I should go back and see my mother-in-law and the others.” Gu Shen lightly said, “I just think about it every time I left. I will feel ashamed… My mother-in-law said with a full face, I have a good head and a smart mind, I will do well in the future, and I will get ahead.”

“Aren’t you already getting ahead? “?” Nan Jin said seriously: “Those salarymen in Dateng City can earn 10,000 yuan a month, which is very difficult to deal with. Your current card is 500,000 yuan, and it takes them ten years to save. income.”

“…You say that, I seem to have the illusion that I am very difficult to deal with.” Gu Shen adjusted his seat and leaned back, muttered: ” In fact, the money simply has nothing to do with me… It’s like winning the lottery jackpot, an unfathomable mystery.”

“don’t say this, it’s your selling price, and The nature of buying lottery tickets is different.” Nan Jin raised his eyebrows: “If you use the analogy of must, you can understand this money as the court fee of the oiran a long time ago. The guests who fancy the oiran spend a lot of money, and they think you are worth it. money, then you are worth the money.”

“Half million… I’m really worth it.” Gu Qian asked with some worry, “If you don’t get the ‘S’ Class, Mister Shu won’t let me spit out the money?”

Hearing this, Nan Jin almost laughed.

“It’s only 500,000…sprinkle water.” She waved her hand, “Follow the senior brother and senior sister and work hard, this money is nothing.”

“That’s good…”

Gu Shen paused and said slowly: “I’m going to donate all this money, okay?”

When he said this remark , he kept looking at Nan Jin with a nervous expression.

The bad woman drove the car very intently, seemingly ignoring Gu Shen’s observation, she indifferently said: “Of course…it’s already your money, it’s your freedom to spend it how you want. , without my consent. But if I remember correctly, you don’t have any savings. This money will allow you to buy a lot of things. Do you want to donate it all?”

“Actually, I have it in my account. I still have some money, and I have nothing to buy… Anyway, you pay the rent, food and drink…”

Gu Shen didn’t feel confident when he said this remark.

He only has a few thousand dollars left in his account.

“My mother-in-law sent me a message a few days ago, saying that the walls of the orphanage are still leaking and the roof is collapsing again. When I was six years old, the roof was still muddy, and water leaked frequently at that time, if I was lucky No, the roof is broken in the rainy season, so you can’t read or sleep all day.” Gu Shen sighed, “Senior Sister, you are a Treasured Young Lady born in the metropolitan area, you won’t understand this feeling. All in all, it was very bad. At that time, I was often gnashing my teeth while shoveling water. In the future, when I have money, I must build the biggest and most beautiful house for my mother-in-law and repair the best roof!”

“…”

Nan Jin was silent for a while.

She wanted to say something to refute Gu Shen’s words…but then she found she had nothing to say, because Gu Shen was right, she was born in the most prosperous and prosperous part of Eastern Continent. In the metropolitan area, there are extremely expensive land, some skyscrapers soaring into the sky, and in the icy steel jungle, no matter how you look, it is impossible to find the kind of humble mud house in Gu Shen’s mouth.

“Isn’t the council funded every year?” Nan Jin asked in a low voice, “There are some Foundations…”

“So about starvation and suffering, Senior Sister, you I don’t understand…” Gu Shen carefree laughed, “I believe that these grants have been used on the edge of the knife. But in this world, there are always places that cannot be illuminated.”

“The year I left My mother-in-law happily told me that someone sent a large sum of money to orphanage. Thanks to that money, the house was rebuilt, with white bricks and red tiles, and it looked beautiful. But unfortunately, the quality was not as good as expected, God If it’s too cold, the water pipes are easy to freeze and crack, so water seepage often occurs.” Gu Shen pulled his finger again: “I did the math for my mother-in-law, please ask a reliable engineering team to check inside and out, and re-check it. It’s better to add more money to fix it again… add more money, and the problem will be solved.”

He rambled earnestly, and Nan Jin listened earnestly.

“It’s good to have money…adding money can do everything.” Gu Shen sighed contentedly, “The money in this card, fulfilling the original promise, is almost just right.”

“If it’s not enough, I can help, just take it as a small effort.” Nan Jin lowered his eyes and said softly, “Actually, I have more money than you think.”

Gu Shen was startled.

Is this the legendary rich woman with beautiful legs?

It’s just too fierce, you can’t afford to offend yourself.

“No, no, I’ve got enough from selling myself. If I owe you more, I don’t know what to pay back.” Gu Shen declined with a smile: “many thanks for your kindness. .”

Nan Jin didn’t say anything, just kept driving.

The orange cat, who was lying lazily on Gu Shen’s lap, slowly opened his eyes at this moment, and there was a faint glow in his slender pupils.

It swiped its tail and made a small meow.

Nan Jin glanced at the orange cat and smiled: “Are you awake?”

The orange cat was uncharacteristically ignoring her, but buried his head in Gu Shen’s arms.

Gu Shen was embarrassedly laughed.

His body was a little stiff, because the meow just now, in his ears, was Chu Ling’s slightly annoyed voice.

【“Bah!”】

Due to the special training in the past few days, Gu Shen went out every day and night, and a certain cat at home was bored waiting every day. Gu Shen came back at night, ate the cat food, and analyzed the intelligence. Within a few minutes, Gu Shen would be so tired that he fell asleep.

Finally, the special training is over, and you can go out. Chu Ling specially asked Gu Shen to bring herself… to be precise, bring this cat.

It wants to follow Gu Shen out for a walk.

Although the apartment was theoretically safe, Gu Shen decided to take it with him as the fire had a history of being attacked by a transcender.

At this moment, at the forearm position inside Gu Shen’s sleeve, the Ruler of Truth is firmly bound by two loops of tape… Today’s ring ruler has become an indispensable personal item for Gu Shen.

Except that it is inconvenient to carry on the training ground and easy to be discovered, he will definitely carry it with him at other times.

With “Ruler of Truth”, you have the confidence to fight against unexpected extraordinary events.

And the orange cat’s meow language can also be transformed into human language.

When did Chu Ling go online, Gu Shen was a little surprised.

On second thought, the conversation with Nan Jin just now… was overheard, the sound just now, bah, she must have misunderstood something, right?

Gu Shen rubbed the orange cat’s head.

【“hmph! ”】

The latter didn’t answer, with a resolute attitude, he threw off Gu Shen’s palm, stepped on his shoulders and jumped to the back seat. , occupying the back half of the seat, and nestled comfortably.
