I was thinking about Baihuang and Yayu at the beginning, but I didn't realize what Heyue would say.
Seeing me stunned for a moment, He Yue explained with a relaxed and normal face:
"When I was very young, children who were playing outside often disappeared. At first, everyone would look for them. Later, the parents who saw them looked calm and stopped looking for them. Later, every time there were children When a child disappears, the family often buys a few catties of rice and has a full meal. There used to be a little girl who would occasionally talk to me, but one day she disappeared. I went to her house to look for her. My mother brought me a bowl of porridge, and I was hungry too, so I drank it down. Her mother told me not to come to her again.”
Speaking of this, He Yue straightened the bangs on her forehead and said:
"Later, I found out that the little girl was sold. Just like other missing children, she was sold to those big men. The family used the money from selling her to buy some rice and continue to maintain their lives. The little girl knew she was leaving, and told her mother that if I came to play with her, she would give me a bowl of porridge, which was a parting gift from her. I never saw her again after that. It won’t be long , I was also sold, sold to Lord Tiancheng's mansion."
He Yue's voice was not ups and downs, she seemed to have become indifferent to these things, held Yayu's face in her hands, and said softly:
"Every big shot has repressed desires, desires that he doesn't want to show to others. So it's a tacit secret for everyone to buy some cheap people and vent these desires on them. thing."
I walked behind her, squatted down next to her, and observed Yayu's expression.
Even though her eyes were distracted, Yayu was still very alert, and she stared at me quickly for a while.
Her mouth was also sealed with a cloth, so she couldn't say anything.
I asked He Yue:
"Speaking of which, do you have any plans for the [welfare home] that I mentioned to you last time?"
He Yue asked:
"Is it the orphanage in the infrastructure construction of Yuxi City? I made a prototype. Before that, I planned a piece of land in the poor area east of Yuxi City and built a simple courtyard. There are old people without children, abandoned babies, and disabled children. Take them in, but at this stage, the medical and educational resources in Yuxi City are too scarce, and they cannot be raised, treated, and educated at the same time as you said, and they are still at the stage of raising."
I nodded and said to her:
"Then let Yayu go to work there."
He Yue froze for a moment:
"Eh?"
I pulled He Yue aside and explained to her:
"Didn't she keep talking about her child? I can't give birth, you can't say if you can give birth, and we can't make a child for her, right? In this case, let her go to the orphanage to take care of the child ... Anyway, there is a shortage of manpower right now, right?"
He Yue held her forehead:
"That's right...but are you sure it's okay?"
I glanced at Yayu who was glaring at us, and said simply:
"No problem. It's better to say that this is the best solution. How many people are currently in the orphanage?"
He Yue thought for a while, and answered immediately without looking up any information:
"The number of abandoned babies is about 20, and the number of abandoned disabled children is about 30. There are more unsupported elderly people, about 160. This number is already considered small. I read I found the records of Yuxi City, when the situation was bad in previous years, you could see dead babies on the road every day. In contrast, the current situation is already very optimistic."
I calculated the amount in my head. The number of abandoned babies is more than twenty, of course Yayu can't take care of all of them, but if she is divided into three or four people to take care of them, she should be able to take care of them very well. As expected, seeing unaccompanied babies should calm her down. Of course, if she is still crazy, she can only be transferred from there.
I had almost calculated in my heart, He Yue suddenly said:
"Speaking of which, although I am in charge of the orphanage, Fang Shisan has been handed over to supervise the work. After the orphanage was completed, she has always found time to go there. For the children living in the orphanage , Everyday life is very monotonous, but Fang Shisan will tell them some stories. When I went there last time, I heard the children discussing that they liked the stories Fang Shisan told, such as... The Daughter of the Sea or something, It's not like the stories recorded in the literature, I don't know where she heard it from."
I froze for a moment, and my eyes were sore for a while.
Yayu was sent to work in the orphanage, and I was finally free.
In the free time, I seriously thought about Liushi. It can be seen from the level of the previous blacksmiths Tufalu and Nicki Gormo that among the blacksmiths who are willing to come to Yuxi City, the level of Liushi is already the highest. Compared with those from other territories The top blacksmith may still have shortcomings, but he is a typical gifted blacksmith. In this field, he can be said to be an absolute genius and has great training value.
But the problem now is that I can ignore his reputation, but Liushi himself has no motivation to live.
I can help him clear the obstacles in the future, but I can't create a future path for him out of thin air. So at this point, I'm a little helpless.
However, what I didn't expect was that when I was still thinking about these issues, Liu Shi suddenly came to me by himself.
"I'm going to leave. During this time... Thank you, Lord City Lord, for taking me in."
He bowed to me, and the naru beside him looked apologetic.
I saw that he had made up his mind to go, so I didn't keep him, and asked instead:
"Is there any place you want to go? Like a trip to find yourself?"
Liu Shi raised his head and said without emotion:
"The Ji Hirata family contacted me. Amo was sick and wanted to see me. As the child's father, I should go back to visit her... Even though I am like this, I will be disgusted by her when I go back. I killed it myself Her mother, I still remember the way she looked at me on the day she left. Ha... That was a look of indifference to the bone, and I don't deserve to be her father at all. Why do you want me to go back, those guys obviously don't want to see you again Come to me, the scum of blacksmiths..."
I took a look at Naru, and Naru respectfully presented a letter, which was indeed a letter from the Jipingtian family, inquiring about Liushi's current situation, and bringing forward the news that Liushi and Carissa's daughter, Amo, were sick, so that the Liushi went back to Ji Pingtian's family to visit her as soon as possible.
I returned the letter to Naru, and said to Liushi:
"If you want to see Amo, but don't want to see the faces of those in the Jipingtian family, I have a way."
