After rebirth, the female supporting role only wanted to have a grand funeral

Chapter 25 Wei Nan

After entering the Salesian Bureau, I found that it was not as gloomy as I imagined, but full of laughter and laughter. Children were gathering in groups, playing shuttlecocks and turning flower ropes. When they saw strangers coming, they started to

They all gathered around and looked at them curiously.

Xue Shu blinked and looked around but saw no one in charge, so she had to focus on the leading child: "We heard that there is a Salesian Bureau here, so we came to take a look. Winter is about to begin.

Yes, how can I help you?"

Although this young man was thin, he was tall. Xue Shu had to raise her head to look at him. More importantly, there was no curiosity or fear in his eyes, he was just looking at them lightly.

However, as soon as Xue Shu finished speaking, the children suddenly dispersed and looked at them warily.

No one here has ever cared about them, and no one wants to care about their life or death. Today, a pair of brothers and sisters suddenly came over to leave some money for them, which was abnormal. As a result, they had just left, and now another pair came.

Grandpa Wei once said that if something goes wrong, there must be a demon, so you must stay vigilant to outsiders.

"This..." Xue Shu and Qin Xiang looked at each other, really unsure of the situation.

"What are you afraid of? My sister is so good-looking, how can she be a bad person?" Qin Xiang flicked his hair, looking heroic all over, "Who is the person in charge here? Come to my sister to collect money!"

The children looked at each other and shrank back.

Qin Xiang simply found a clean place and sat down, as if he wanted to fight them to the end.

Xue Shu raised her eyebrows. She almost didn't know whether they were here to give money or to rob.

After a while, the leading boy came forward hesitantly: "Sir, he is in the room, I will take you there..."

gentlemen?

This place is so poor that one Buddha was born and two Buddhas ascended to heaven. How can there be a husband?

The two looked at each other, suppressed their doubts, and followed the young man to the wing on the left.

When I opened the door, I saw a desk and several overstuffed bookshelves in the room. There was also a small table and two chairs by the window, and a screen in the corner. Other than that, there was nothing else.

of furnishings.

Although it is simple, it is very clean and there is no unpleasant smell in the air.

Sitting behind the desk was a thin old man, wearing a robe that was so patched that the color could no longer be seen. He was holding a writing brush tremblingly in his hand and was writing something.

"Grandpa Wei, these two girls are also here to donate money to us." The young man sounded mature. Even when he was around the people closest to him, he still didn't have the liveliness and vigor that a young man should have.

The old man nodded, put down the last stroke on the paper, and then turned to look at the two well-dressed girls in front of him: "Little old man Wei Nan, I have seen two nobles. Their houses are simple. If you don't mind, please sit down for a while."

Bar."

According to Wei Nan's experience, noble people all have eyes on the top of their heads. How many of them are not domineering?

The man and woman who came just now threw him a bag of silver as if they were sending away a beggar, and then left in a hurry as if they were hiding something dirty.

Even though he was so disliked, Wei Nan had to be grateful to the person and sent him to the door with gratitude.

There is no way, what is the use of dignity? It can neither keep the children outside fed and warm, nor allow them to survive the coming severe winter safely, and money is still available.

Now that he has gained the truth, it doesn't matter whether he is dignified or not. If the noble wants to step on him, he will give it to others to step on, and make them happy. Maybe they will still think of them when they look back.

Wei Nan bowed slightly, already prepared to be ridiculed by the noble man, but the two little girls just nodded, moved to the window, sat down on the creaking chair, and answered

I took the two glasses of water handed over by the old man.

This window faced the yard. As they left, the children in the yard started to move again, playing and laughing as if nothing had happened.

"The nobles are laughing. In this place, if there is no tomorrow after today, they can be happy for a little while." Wei Nan clasped his hands and stood hunched over. "If the nobles are dissatisfied with the noise, I will go out now."

Say something and tell them to live in peace for a while."

"No!" Qin Xiang waved his hand, put the money on the table, and turned it out of the window, "Do you know how to kick shuttlecock? Come, sister will teach you, watch it!"

Qin Xiang was going shopping today, so he naturally had a lot of money with him. He hit the table with a thud, which made Wei Nan's heart tremble.

"She has this temper, sir, don't blame her." Xue Shu shook her head helplessly, took off her purse, and handed it to Wei Nan along with Qin Xiang's.

"Hey...hey!" Wei Nan quickly stepped forward to take the purse, turned around and wiped her tears and returned to the table, put the money away properly, and returned the purse, "This is your nobleman's personal belongings, please come back to me, nobleman."

Put it away carefully."

Xue Shu nodded and put her purse into her sleeves: "I'll do my best to help you and these children."

Wei Nan quickly bowed and saluted and said: "What are you talking about, noble man? You are so generous. This money is enough for them to spend the winter well!"

"I grew up in the capital, but this is the first time I know about the existence of the Salesian Bureau. I really shouldn't," Xue Shu sighed, "To put it bluntly, I wonder if I can see where these children live?"

Wei Nan was stunned for a moment, then quickly said yes, bowed and led the way.

The Salesian Bureau is a courtyard with two entrances. According to Wei Nan, the front courtyard is full of able-bodied children. As for the backyard, it is not suitable for a girl like Xue Shu to visit.

After walking around in a circle, Xue Shu felt her heart was blocked.

There was not even a bed in the house, only thick straw, which was spread from one end of the house to the other, covered with a layer of rags, and a few old and thin quilts, which were where these children slept at night.

place.

Such a thin quilt is not enough to cover them in autumn, but this is what these children use for winter.

"Last year, the children were lucky. They picked up a few unwanted quilts on the street and sewed them back, so they could make do with them." Wei Nan said, and sighed again, "This year we have a noble man.

With the donated silver coins, no more children will freeze to death in the yard. If...well, the little old man is greedy."

Xue Shu curled her lips but did not answer.

"This is..." They stopped in front of a mottled wooden door. Xue Shu raised her eyebrows and reached out to push the door open, but Wei Nan hurriedly blocked the wooden door: "Girl, you can't do it! This is the backyard.

, the children inside are all with missing limbs, they might scare the girl, please ask the girl to go back!"

Xue Shu's eyelashes trembled slightly, as if she couldn't hear his words, and she still stubbornly pushed the door open.

"Girl," suddenly, a hand clasped her wrist, "Please go back, girl."

Xue Shu blinked and then saw clearly that the man was the steady young man who had led the way before.

She reacted and quickly took a few steps back: "I'm really sorry..."

Wei Nan smiled and pulled the young man behind him: "Girl, you are serious, let's go sit in the yard and drink some tea?"

"Sorry to bother you, sir." Xue Shu blessed her body. Wei Nan was flattered and took a step to the side, then hurriedly walked ahead to lead the way.

The young man was at the end, looking at the back of the girl in front and twirling his fingers.

In the yard, Qin Xiang was having a great time playing with the children.

She was always very active, but no one played with her in Shangshu Mansion. Now she is better, and she has become a child king.

Xue Shu and Wei Nan stood in the corridor for a while. Seeing that Wei Nan looked tired, Xue Shu quickly called Qin Xiang to say goodbye.

When the two girls went out and turned the corner, they were no longer visible to the people in the yard.
