It snowed all night and only stopped at dawn. In his sleep, Duanmu Feng felt his body spin. When he completely woke up, he saw an old face staring at him in shock.
Duanmu Feng was so frightened that he hugged his sister and retreated. The other party was an old scavenger. She was dressed in rags. In the morning, the old man wanted to find something to fill his stomach in the trash can. He did not expect that when he moved the trash can, two children would roll out. This gave him a fright.
Looking at the panicked Duanmu siblings, the old man had already guessed that they were homeless orphans, but he still asked tentatively,""Are you orphans?"
The old man smiled and looked kind. Duanmu Feng gradually let down his guard and nodded timidly. The old man pulled a tattered backpack from behind him and squatted on the ground, rummaging through it. A moment later, he took out a half-eaten steamed bun.
"You must be starving. Here, take it. Hurry up and eat!" The old man stretched out his hand and signaled Duanmu Feng to take the steamed bun away.
Duanmu Feng and his sister hadn't eaten anything for a day and a night. Although it was a half-eaten bun that was thrown away by someone else, it was no different from a delicacy in their eyes. Her two pairs of small eyes were shining, and she kept swallowing her saliva.
After making sure that the old man wasn't lying to him, Duanmu Feng quickly took the steamed bun and stuffed it into his sister's hands." Sister, look, we have something to eat." Hurry up and eat!"
The steamed bun was already frozen like a popsicle. The younger sister only left two rows of teeth marks on it.
"Brother, I can't bite it!"
"It's okay. I'll help you warm up!" Duanmu Feng unbuttoned his shirt and stuffed the ice-cold steamed bun into it. The moment the steamed bun touched his skin, Duanmu Feng's body could not help but shiver. After warming it up for a while, Duanmu Feng was afraid that his sister still couldn't bite it, so he used his teeth to cut the steamed bun into small pieces and fed it to his sister piece by piece.
"Brother, let's eat together!" His younger sister suddenly stopped Duanmu Feng and snatched the steamed bun from his hand, bringing it to his mouth. Seeing the stubbornness in his sister's eyes, Duanmu Feng felt a warm feeling in his heart. He opened his mouth wide and swallowed the steamed bun that his sister handed him.
"What sensible children!" The old man beside him revealed a knowing smile. He took two steps forward and moved closer to Duanmu Feng. He said with a pleasant expression,"Little kids, Grandpa will bring you to a place where you can eat your fill, okay?”
The eyes of the six-year-old Duanmu Feng revealed a vigilant expression. He did not know if this seemingly kind-hearted old man was lying to him! The old man seemed to have seen through Duanmu Feng's thoughts and continued,""Little friend, the weather is so cold and you are so young. If you continue to wander outside, you will eventually freeze to death. Look at your sister. She's so cute. Can you bear to let her suffer with you? Grandpa is not a bad person. I really want to bring you to a place where you can eat.”
Duanmu Feng looked at his little sister whose lips had turned white from the cold, and his gaze became gentle.
The old man knew that Duanmu Feng had been persuaded by him. He bent down to pick up his sister. He did not expect Duanmu Feng to take a step forward and block in front of him.
"Sister, let me carry you!" Duanmu Feng's small eyes were filled with unquestionable authority.
The old man retracted his hand and laughed." Haha, you carry me, you carry me. Grandpa won't snatch it from you."
When the old man knocked on the door of the orphanage, the six-year-old Duanmu Feng saw the director of the orphanage for the first time. It was snowing outside. The fat woman with heavy makeup was wearing a mink coat on her upper body and thin stockings on her lower body. The fat on her thighs trembled as if they were about to squeeze out of the stockings at any time.
When the orphanage director saw the old man, he immediately put on a disgusted expression." Stinky beggar, get lost! Hurry up and scram, I don't have anything to give you!”The dean shouted as he picked up the broom on the ground and began to chase away the scavengers.
The old man grabbed the broom that was waving at him. He bent his back and smiled."Director, let's talk things out. I'm not here to beg for food. I'm here to send your child!”The old man said as he pulled out Duanmu Feng and his sister from behind.
As soon as Duanmu Feng and his sister appeared, the Headmaster immediately narrowed his eyes as if he had seen a pearl or gem. The dean pulled Duanmu Feng and his sister to the front, as if he was afraid that they would run away. She looked at the siblings carefully as if she was looking at a cultural relic. At the same time, she rubbed her thick and fat hands on their faces.
"Director, how are the siblings?”Seeing that the dean only cared about the siblings and seemed to have forgotten about him, the old man reminded him of his existence.
"That's right. Not bad!" The dean replied, his gaze never leaving the siblings.
" Then should we talk about it…" The old man dragged his voice and deliberately left out the second half of his sentence.
The director brought out a plate from the kitchen. On the plate was a large pot of hot milk and a few slices of bread. The dean brought the food to Duanmu Feng and his sister and instructed them to make themselves at home. Then, he turned around and brought the old man to a house at the side and closed the door.
Seeing the delicious food that they had not eaten for a long time, Duanmu Feng and his sister no longer restrained themselves and began to wolf down the food. When they were full, the door of the room opened again. The old man looked as if he had picked up a pile of gold. He covered his pocket excitedly and walked out of the orphanage. The old man was so excited that he didn't even hear Duanmu Feng's voice of thanks.
The orphanage director walked up to the two of them and asked with a smile,"Are you full?"
Duanmu Feng duo nodded.
The orphanage director touched their little faces." They're so dirty, you two little cuties. Let's go, I'll take you to take a bath!”She lowered her head and saw the plush toy that her sister had picked up from the trash can. A trace of disgust appeared in her eyes. She squatted down and said to her sister,"This is so dirty. Throw it away. I'll buy you a new one!”
"No! This is a gift from my brother!" The younger sister said as she hugged the doll tightly in her arms, as if she was afraid that someone would snatch it away.
The director immediately put on a smile." Okay, okay, okay. We won't throw it away. Let's go take a shower!"”
Lying in the warm bathtub, Duanmu Feng secretly rejoiced that he had finally found a place for his sister to live comfortably. However, he did not know that the moment he walked into the orphanage, he had actually stepped into the gates of hell.
