City Z was a small city in the south of China. The monthly salary of the people living here was at most 2,000 yuan. That was a very good unit. It could be seen that the economy of City Z was backward. (Little Bean Chinese Network) c
The orphanage was built along the river in City Z. When Chu Zifeng returned to the orphanage, it was three o'clock in the afternoon. There was no one in the orphanage. He believed that everyone had gone to school.
"Zifeng? Are you Zifeng?"
Chu Zifeng had just entered the orphanage when he heard a man's voice behind him.
She turned around and saw a middle-aged man in a white shirt with a large vegetable basket in his hand. He had just entered the orphanage.
"Dean Li, it's you. You gave me a fright!”
Director Li was the deputy director of the orphanage. His name was Li Shuang. He was 45 years old and had been working in the orphanage for ten years. Other than being responsible for the food in the orphanage, he was also responsible for the lives and studies of every orphan in the orphanage. As for the money of the orphanage, it was funded by the government. He did not have to worry too much about the orphans 'lives and studies.
"Zifeng, where have you been for the past three months? Why did he only come back now? You, why do you seem to have grown taller!"
Director Li walked in front of Chu Zifeng and put down the large basket in his hand. His face was serious and surprised. He had been worried about Chu Zifeng's disappearance for three months, but now that Chu Zifeng had returned, he was very unhappy.
"Dean Li, I'm at the age where I'm growing. It's not strange that I'm getting older!”Chu Zifeng knew that he was now 1.8 meters tall. This must have been caused by cultivation. If he did not find a reason, he really did not know how to explain this height problem, because he was only 1.75 meters tall in the past.
"Wait a minute…Dean Li, what did you just say? Three months? You said it's been three months?"
Chu Zifeng was even more shocked. He didn't seem to have stayed in the Mysterious Heavenly Cave Abode for such a long time. Could it be that it was only a day in the mountains, but a thousand years had passed in the world?
"You brat, you clearly know that your health is not good, but you still run around all day. You made us worry for you. (Little Bean Chinese Network)
"Actually, actually, the last time I went to Wanlong Mountain with my classmates to play, I injured my foot on the way, so I stayed with a family at the foot of the mountain for a period of time and helped them plant the land and do some farm work. I didn't expect that three months had passed without me knowing!”
Chu Zifeng would never tell Dean Li the truth. Even if he did, he would not believe him.
Dean Li's serious expression slowly relaxed and he asked,""Is your foot okay now? You didn't bring any medicine with you for the past three months. Is there anything wrong with your body?”
Chu Zifeng was the pride of the orphanage. His grades were excellent and he was very cheerful. He was not like the other orphans, so the staff of the orphanage liked him very much.
"Dean Li, don't worry. I'll be fine. You see, after this period of labor, my body seems to be much better than before.”
Chu Zifeng knew very well that it was not because his body was much better. Because of his cultivation, he had strengthened his physique. All those illnesses, big and small, had been expelled by him and would never come looking for him again.
"It's good that you're fine. I'm relieved that you're fine!”
Dean Li's eyes flashed with tears, but this scene did not escape Chu Zifeng's eyes.
"Dean Li, what's wrong? Why are you suddenly so sad? Didn't I already come back? Don't worry, I promise that something like this won't happen again.”
"Zifeng, come with me, I have something to tell you," Dean Li said bitterly.”
Chu Zifeng followed behind Director Li in confusion. However, he arrived at the main director's room, which was also the director's room that adopted Chu Zifeng eighteen years ago.
Chu Zifeng couldn't understand why Director Li had brought him to the main director's room. Didn't the main director dislike people entering his room casually?
However, just as Chu Zifeng was about to ask, he suddenly saw a white porcelain jar and a black-and-white photo on the table against the wall in the principal's room. The photo was…
At this moment, Chu Zifeng seemed to have thought of something, but he couldn't believe what he was thinking. He asked,""Dean Li, where's the dean? Where did he go?"
Dean Li turned to Chu Zifeng and said,"" Zifeng, you just came back. I didn't want to tell you about this now, but you'll find out sooner or later, so, so…"
"No, it can't be. When I left that day, the director was still fine. How could it be…"
"On the second day after you disappeared, your teacher came to look for us and said that you were missing. We mobilized everyone to look for you and called the police, but we couldn't even find you. At that time, there was something wrong with the director's heart.”
Chu Zifeng was brought up by the dean. If it weren't for the dean, he would have died 18 years ago. He wouldn't have the chance to go to university today. (Little Bean's original forum:
Chu Zifeng's heart ached like a bolt from the blue, and his tears could not help but fall.
"Zifeng, the dead cannot be brought back to life. All of us are very strong. I will also use my life to manage the orphanage that the principal left behind. Although we don't want any more children to come to us in the future, the children who come to us will definitely not suffer. This is the promise I made before the principal died.”
Everyone in the orphanage knew what kind of person Li Shuang was. He was just like the principal. For the sake of the orphanage, he would not return home for several months. This kind of enthusiasm was something that no one else could do.
"Why, why didn't you wait for me to come back? The dean has done me a great favor, why didn't you let me see him for the last time!”
Dean Li said," Originally, the Dean's family wanted to bring the Dean's ashes and photo back. However, this place is the Dean's life's work, so I begged the Dean's family to leave the Dean's ashes and photo behind. I want the Dean's spirit in heaven to see clearly that his efforts will not be in vain."”
Pausing for a moment, Dean Li patted Chu Zifeng's shoulder and said,""Zifeng, before the dean died, he told me to find you and tell you personally.”
"What is it?" Chu Zifeng wiped his tears and asked.
"It's about your background."
"Family background? Am I not an orphan? What background do I have?”
"Yes, you are indeed an orphan, but you are different from other children. You were not abandoned by your parents at the entrance of our orphanage, nor were you sent here.”
"Picked her up? That's not right. The director didn't tell me that. He said that I was abandoned at the entrance of the orphanage.”
"That's because the director didn't want you to think too much. After all, a child abandoned on the street is too pitiful. His parents didn't care about the child's life at all. It's just that the director felt that your background might be a little different, so he asked me to tell you about this before he died.”
"What's the difference? To me, there's no difference between being abandoned at the entrance of the orphanage and being abandoned on the streets. Ever since the day I became sensible, I have treated the dean as my parents and you as my family. The others have nothing to do with me.”
Chu Zifeng's greatest taboo was to mention his parents. To Chu Zifeng, no matter who they were, they were not qualified to be his parents. Otherwise, they would not have abandoned him eighteen years ago.
Director Li saw that Chu Zifeng was angry. This was also what the director was most worried about before he died. However, he had to tell Chu Zifeng about this because he had the right to know everything.
Dean Li took out a small purple box from his pocket and opened it. Inside was a silver-white ring. He said,"Zifeng, this ring was placed by your side when the headmaster found you. The headmaster believes that this ring should hide the mystery of your past. Other than the ring, there was also 100,000 yuan with you back then. The director also believed that your background should be different because 18 years ago, 100,000 yuan was equivalent to millions now!”
Eighteen years ago, China's economy had just started. At that time, there was already so much money, and it was placed next to an abandoned baby. This was enough to prove something.
However, Chu Zifeng didn't care." They want to take 100,000 yuan as my support, right? But that's good too. At least the money is used in the right places." As for this ring…"
Chu Zifeng took the ring. It was quite pretty. There was a circle on the ring, and the word " Chu " was carved on it. There was also a coiling dragon carved around the word " Chu ".
"Back then, when the director saw the word 'Chu' on this ring, he thought that your father's surname was very likely Chu, so he named you Chu Zifeng. Before the director died, he instructed that regardless of whether you could find your parents in the future, you must always carry this ring with you. You must not lose it or give it to others.”
"Since the dean has instructed me, I'll wear this ring. However, even if I meet them in the future, I won't acknowledge them. I reckon they won't want me as their son, haha.”
Dean Li shook his head. He knew that Chu Zifeng would think this way. However, since the dean had instructed him to tell Chu Zifeng about this before he died, he had completed his mission. As for the future, Chu Zifeng would handle it himself.
"Zifeng, you should focus on your studies now. Let nature take its course and don't think too much about it! The university semester is coming up. Go pack your luggage and report to Yanjing University in two days.”
Chu Zifeng walked up to the Principal's photo and said softly and confidently,""Principal, don't worry. I won't disappoint you. When I succeed in my career, I will definitely come back because this is my hometown.”
