Bulwark of Light

Chapter 28 Sponsorship and Investigation

Three-and-a-half hours’ drive through Dateng City, and finally came to the shadow of a winding mountain.

Wulao Mountain is a mountainous area protected by big vines. There are no dense steel plants that surround it, and the mountain road is not rugged. On the contrary, the construction site is very wide, and the soft chirping of birds echoes above. It’s just that there is a light rain falling from the sky, like a layer of tarpaulin covering the field of vision. No matter how hard you try to look into the distance, you can only see the hazy shadows of a few mountain peaks.

“These days, the business of the scenic area is too bad.” Gu Shen said: “The signal here is poor and the internet speed is slow, and most people will dislike it, thinking that this is an uncivilized and uncivilized wilderness. The area is actually just a mountainous area…we always have to leave something behind.”

“The uncivilized wilderness…”

“I don’t think so.”

Nan Jin turned off the music and opened the car window, she took a deep breath of fresh air: “This is what nature should be like. Living here can breathe the most natural fresh air, although the metropolitan area It’s very prosperous, and there are high-power air purifiers everywhere, but the air over there… always doesn’t smell the same as here.”

“The best is what you can’t get. .”

Gu Shen shrugged: “Occasionally come to this kind of place to play, but also think that the air in the metropolitan area is not so good. In fact, what is the difference? The purifier filtered The air will only be cleaner. [Deep Sea] After connecting the whole world, the artificial landscape is more beautiful and smarter than the natural landscape. If it weren’t for the poor terrain here, it is estimated that it would have been banned long ago.”

Near the huge mountain shadow at the end of the field of vision, the speed of the car is getting faster and faster, this wide mountain road is not climbing up, but sliding down… At the foot of the mountain is a basin, the middle is low all around and high, showing a ring shape, No wonder so much water accumulates when it rains.

“Alright, alright, it’s coming.”

Gu Shen took a deep breath, he adjusted his shirt collar, and after checking the card balance, Gu Shen was there. Considering the matter of “returning the rich and noble”, I bought a new set of clothes for this purpose.

It’s actually an unpretentious white shirt with a work coat over it, and no new pants or shoes.

The car was parked at the entrance of the orphanage, the iron fence was squeaked by the wind, and the rain splashed on it. Large flat apartment… This style of decoration is indeed very old.

The word “Morning Light” is written on the plaque at the door, and all around are crooked crayon doodles, drawing balloons, white clouds, the sun, and running children.

Nan Jin looked at another black car parked not far from the orphanage, looked thoughtful.

“Senior Sister, you don’t have to get out of the car later.”

Gu Shen was inexplicably nervous, and he repeatedly took several deep breaths to calm himself down.

He got out of the car, opened the trunk, and in his left hand was carrying two cartons of milk and a large basket of eggs, and his right hand was carrying large and small bags of heavy gift boxes. Umbrellas open overhead.

“I’ll give you a ride, stop by.”

Nan Jin said softly, she was carrying a large bag of vegetables, the orange cat in her arms, and the other hand Gu Shen is holding an umbrella, perhaps because the sunglasses have been replaced with black-rimmed glasses, and there are not so many baleful auras on the face that has always been fierce.

“Oh oh oh…”

Gu Shen was a little flattered, squeezed under an umbrella with Nan Jin, and walked forward with a sullen head. At that time, there was a loud explosion, which startled him.

The ribbons of the hand-twisted salute spewed out one after another, landed on the umbrella surface, and hid on both sides of the courtyard wall. The children who had been waiting for an unknown amount of time rushed out all at once and circled around the umbrella. .

“Welcome, warm welcome—”

“Welcome, warm welcome—”

Gu Shen was surrounded by children in the rain , Suddenly at a loss, he looked at these familiar and unfamiliar faces, and there was a sour feeling in his heart.

When they left, they were not that tall. The little guys who could only hug their thighs in the past, now several of them have jumped up to their chests.

In two years, they have changed a lot.

But what hasn’t changed is the innocence in his eyes and the childishness in his face.

No matter how you grow up, you are still a child.

“Welcome Brother Shen home!!”

The children made a fuss, and one by one they took away all the things in Gu Shen’s hands.

Under the eaves, an old woman with a knitted sweater beckoned to Gu Shen, with white hair and kindness written on her face, “They are so happy to hear that you are coming back. These are for the wedding. When others used the leftover salute, they had saved the three cannons for a long time and were reluctant to use them, and they took them all out today.”

Gu Shen has a salute ribbon hanging from his hair, like a chicken coop. He shook his head and said with a smile: “All the treasures from the trump card have been taken out? Even these little brats have a conscience.”

Sanpao is the smallest among the children, but But he was the first to take the lead in the salute, and the first to take away the things that Gu Shen was carrying.

At this moment, he excitedly opened the “gift box” and let out a wailing: “Brother Shen! Why is it all meat!”

The gift box is full of unpretentious meat. custard.

Going in a hurry and forgetting to buy toys, Gu Shen coughed, “Next time, definitely next time.”

“It would be nice to have meat! This means that Brother Shen is thinking about it. How tall are you!” Another child said with a smile: “It’s been two years, and you’re the only one who didn’t grow up.”

With a bang, he held up the chicken legs and tried to fight.

Several children were having a great time with the gift boxes unpacked.

“This is…?”

The mother-in-law looked at the girl holding the umbrella with three-point surprise in her eyes. Such a gentle and graceful beauty can only be seen on TV. .

Gu Shen wanted to introduce Nan Jin, but he didn’t know how to introduce it for a while… Do you have to tell her mother-in-law that this is the benefactor who saved her life, and now she is half a servant big brother?

He scratched his head, but didn’t speak.

“Hello mother-in-law, I’m Gu Shen’s Senior Sister, we are working in the research institute in Dateng City, this is the work card.” Nan Jin laughed gently and handed out a card: “Gu Shen Shen’s grades are very good, very good, and he was favored by my tutor, you can understand it as… Gu Shen.

“Yes, yes… I’ll recommend…” Gu Shen hurriedly said, “accidentally, I was admitted to a research institute…”

The orange cat is lazily in Nan Jin’s arms watching the play, seeing this, I couldn’t help laughing.

Gu Shen, who has always been very good at acting, almost overturned on this kind of thing.

“I can’t read the business card or something…”

My mother-in-law squinted and read it carefully, she couldn’t understand the complicated job description, she just remembered “Nan Jin” name.

“Thank you, girl, Gu Shen must have caused you trouble, right?” The mother-in-law handed back the business card with both hands, and then said meaningfully: “Xiao Gu, I know you can leave here, you can definitely go outside. It’s a good life, but it’s not easy to meet someone who treats you well…you have to cherish it.”

“Mother-in-law, what are you talking about…”

Gu Shen sighed, unable to explain.

He totally understood what his mother-in-law was thinking.

Who would not like such a beautiful elder sister who is considerate, gentle and intellectual? Who would have thought that this beautiful elder sister’s usual image is actually a slaughtering embryo who will fight with three long knives on her waist?

“I came back this time to fix the house.”

Gu Shen took out the card and said seriously: “The teacher at the institute is very kind to me. , gave me a large scholarship. Mother-in-law, didn’t you say that the house often leaks, and they have to study, and there are messy expenses in addition to government subsidies. All in all… these are all covered by me!”

This remark is rich and imposing.

The feeling of being rich and returning home is…awesome.

But Gu Shen didn’t get the expected feedback, the mother-in-law just smiled and looked at him without much movement.

“Ah…”

Gu Shen raised the card, looking surprised and a little frustrated, “Mother-in-law, why are you reacting like this?”

The mother-in-law smiled at Nan Jin: “Girl, I’m whispering to Xiao Gu… There are fruits and tea in the hall. Please wait for a while.”

“You’re too kind.” Nan Jin said with a slight smile: “Just right, I want to take a stroll.”

The moment he turned to leave, the orange cat in his arms swooped out, Nan Jin was a little surprised, but the orange cat slipped so fast that he couldn’t see the shadow all of a sudden.

…………

The mother-in-law took Gu Shen and walked upstairs.

“Mother-in-law, how are you mysterious and secretive…” Gu Shen was a little confused.

“Xiao Gu, I haven’t seen such a beautiful girl for a long time. Your Senior Sister is as good-looking as the stars on the screen.” On the second floor, her mother-in-law’s eyes were full of smiles. “You have to be good to people, and you can’t bully people who are weak and weak girls.”

Gu Shen: “???”

Weak and weak?

It’s this weak girl who beats herself a hundred times a day!

A hundred times, a hundred times.

“This is really just my Senior Sister,” Gu Shen wanted to explain seriously, but he knew that the smile in his mother-in-law’s eyes clearly indicated that you continued to argue.

How can a Senior Sister drive you all the way?

“I already have a girlfriend!”

Gu Shen’s face was serious, and he boasted: “She is a girl who is more beautiful than those stars on the TV screen. Well, next time I have a chance, I’ll bring it over to see you.”

“Yo hoho hoho…I misunderstood.”

Mother-in-law understood at once, surprised and delighted , with a wide-eyed smile: “Xiao Gu, you really… surprised me too much. Then I’m relieved.”

Finally explained it clearly.

Gu Shen relaxed, with a wry smile in his heart. He originally thought that when he came back this time, the money from Cary would make his mother-in-law happier, and didn’t expect her mother-in-law to be more concerned about her “lifetime major event”.

“The house repair… I don’t need your help, I can do it by myself.”

A smug smile appeared in her mother-in-law’s eyes: “There was a gentleman a few days ago. He contacted us and said that he wanted to sponsor a fee to help orphanage renovate and repair it. He happened to be here today for inspection. Who would be so serious about field inspection these days, he must have done practical things. You don’t have to worry about the cost of orphanage.”

“In addition…”

Speaking of this, the mother-in-law lowered her voice, “Just by looking at him, you can tell that he is very rich, and we will wait. You’ll know.”

“Sponsorship…investigation…”

Gu Shen was stunned for a while, but now he recalled that there was indeed a second car parked in front of the orphanage Che, when he was nervous about the next meeting, he ignored this detail.

“This gentleman is on the rooftop, I’ll take you to see him.”

The mother-in-law smiled and picked up her clothes, leading Gu Shen up.

The red brick house has a total of four layers, and the roof on the top floor is usually planted with some flowers and grass.

The rain was fine and pouring.

A man in a suit with a briefcase stood at the entrance of the roof. He held an umbrella and stood alone in the center of the roof, looking at the mountains and fog in the distance.

The mother-in-law’s laughter came from behind.

“Little Mister Han, I’ve been waiting for a long time.”

The man in the suit turned his head slowly, the silhouette of one old and one young reflected in the arc of the gold-wire glasses.

He said with a slight smile: “Not long.”
