This is the reception hall, and there is also a front desk!

However, it may be because it has not been used for a long time, and there is a layer of dust accumulated on the table on the floor.

A diagram of the staff hangs on the wall next to it. Only the dean’s photo and introduction remain on it, and the information on other staff members has long been removed.

The director is an old woman, she must be eighty now. She was an orphan before, and she knows what it’s like to be an orphan, so she founded the Changhai Welfare Home.

The dean was once married, which only lasted three years. After the divorce, she began to travel to various places, and she was there wherever there were abandoned children.

What a good person!

Wang Zun can say with certainty that not many people can protect the childhood of these children throughout their lives. If they are not extremely kind-hearted, who would be willing?

The dean had a daughter. After the divorce, due to his boundless love, he had no intention of taking care of his daughter, and finally gave her daughter to her husband to take care of her.

The dean's daughter also inherited her kindness. She helped many orphans and worked in an orphanage. Later, she left for unknown reasons and did not come back for a long time.

Wang Zun read the dean's introduction with respect, and then looked at another block diagram.

Inside is the basic building pattern of the orphanage. The children's dormitories are on the third floor, the staff's dormitories and some activity rooms for the children are on the second floor, and the offices and medical room are on the first floor.

Changhai Welfare Home was quite famous before. The director's love was seen by many outsiders, and he made a lot of donations. It was also equipped with many facilities.

Wang Zun thought for a while, then he searched on the first floor and found an archive room, which contained files of children who had lived in the orphanage.

It took Wang Zun more than ten minutes to finally unlock the door, then slipped in and turned on his headlight. Inside were rows of files. On the shelves were the dates and dates of the children's admission, as well as their names.

Based on the content of that post, Wang Zun guessed the time when Datou was admitted to hospital. After checking several information, he finally found Datou's information.

Nickname: Big Head!

Age at admission: three days!

Features: The head is extremely big!

He was born with a head disease that cannot be treated. According to the doctor's judgment, he can only live to be ten years old at most!

At this time, Datou’s information when he was admitted to hospital!

Then there is a record once a month to record the changes and growth of the big head.

After one year, it will be recorded every three months.

After three years, it will be recorded semi-annually.

What impressed Wang Zun deeply was that "the head is getting bigger and bigger". This line was included in almost every record, and the details included how much the head circumference had increased compared to the previous record.

Until the last record was when Da Tou was nine and a half years old.

At this time, Datou has become the loneliest child in the orphanage, with no one to talk to, no one to play with, and no one to live with.

He seemed to have been abandoned by the world. The rejection he had experienced since childhood made him very introverted, and he would not speak a word for several days.

Datou died of hydrocephalus just one day after his last record!

Until his death, he never really made a friend!

Wang Zun sighed. Only now did he realize that Datou lived for nine and a half years. He didn't even have a name, only had the nickname Datou. He had never been to school and had left the orphanage very few times.

Going out on the street will only attract strange looks from others.

Pitiful!

Wang Zun can only say this, Datou doesn’t even have the most basic name for this person!

After putting the files together, Wang Zun took a breath and looked at the time, it was 0:30 in the morning!

There is still half an hour before the mission starts.

Actually, Wang Zun is not too afraid of today's mission. After all, this is a partner mission. If successful, Datou will be his partner and family!

After reading Datou's records and files, Wang Zun wanted to see Datou even more. He just felt that Datou was too pitiful and he wanted to give him some warmth.

Wang Zun has no intention of going out. He already knows the dormitory room where Big Head lived before from the files. He has always lived alone. Other children will only make fun of him and play tricks on him. No child wants to live with a Big Head monster.

.

To find Big Head, the simplest and most direct way is to go up to the dormitory on the third floor.

Wang Zun is waiting for the mission time. There may be no use in going out now.

The orphanage was very quiet. The night wind was blowing in the corridor outside, blowing up the shredded paper and debris on the ground, making a rustling sound.

Wang Zun leaned against the wooden door, thinking about how to make Datou willingly become his partner.

This is also the time!

In the dark and quiet orphanage, a strange pestle sound sounded.

Dong dong dong...

One after another, the intervals were very rhythmic and unhurried, as if something was hitting the ground with a pestle.

A scene suddenly appeared in Wang Zun's mind. A wooden stick was beating on the ground and wandering in the dark corridor.

The sound was indeed like the sound of a wooden stick hitting the floor.

Boom...

Wang Zun's ears moved. He heard the sound coming from the direction of the stairs, as if someone was coming down from the second floor.

The first thing Wang Zun thought of was the dean.

Now there is only one director left in the orphanage. The current director is also an eighty-year-old woman. It is normal to walk with a cane.

It's just... It's early in the morning, almost one o'clock, why is the dean still going downstairs?

Wang Zun was just guessing, not sure if it was the dean, maybe it was some other ghost?

Boom...

The voice came this way, very slowly and rhythmically. When passing by the door of the archives room, it suddenly stopped. After about twenty seconds, the voice continued to move forward.

Wang Zun breathed a sigh of relief. No matter whether it was the dean or someone else outside, he would be caught off guard if he came in suddenly.

After the sound moved away from a certain distance, Wang Zun gently opened the door and looked in the direction of the main door.

A rickety back figure, holding a cane and an oil lamp in her other hand, was walking towards the gate.

Um?

It's the dean!

It's a person, Wang Zun is sure of it!

What did she want to do when she left the orphanage so late?

Wang Zun glanced at the time, became interested, tried not to make a sound, and followed quietly.

The dean opened the door and came to the courtyard outside. Under the illumination of the oil lamp, she had silver hair, wrinkles on her face, and a sad look on her face!

He came to the bottom of the slope, took off a backpack from his body, and took out a stack of scented wax paper money!

Um?

Wang Zun was even more curious. It was Da Tou who made this place so smoky. Is the dean going to burn paper for Da Tou?

The dean lit the white candle and lit a bunch of incense!

Yes, a stick of incense!

Wang Zun glared, is it necessary to order so many?

After placing the fragrant wax on the ground, the dean lit the yellow paper on the corner of the ladder.

Only then did Wang Zun see that there was an old brazier in the corner of the staircase!

She threw paper into the brazier and spoke.

"Dabao Xiaobao, Feiyan Xiaoqiang, Axiang Chunlan...can you rest in peace?"

"The welfare home has been closed for more than a year, and all the people have left. Are you happy?"

"What happened back then has passed. Everything that went wrong was the dean's fault. It was the dean who was greedy for petty gains. It was the dean who was obsessed with his own ideas. It was the dean who harmed you. It's been more than two years. It's time for you to get rid of your anger, right?

"

"There are many children in the orphanage. They are just like you, homeless, without a warm home, and without kind parents. They are all in the orphanage now. Orphanages are different from orphanages. You know that, you

Some of them were brought back from the orphanage by me. Children, the director is begging you, please leave!"

"If you leave, those children will come back. They are really suffering in the orphanage..."

The dean sighed, his voice filled with self-blame and guilt, and even more regret.

Wang Zun was shocked. The director named no less than ten people. What happened in the orphanage back then?

"You have been gone for three years, why do you want to come back? Are you still unable to let go?"

"You want to torture me, I have nothing to say, but those children are innocent, take me away, I have no regrets, I just hope you can give the orphanage peace!"

"Today is your death anniversary, the dean is begging you again."

As the dean spoke, tears shed from the corners of his eyes and his body trembled.

Death anniversary?

Wang Zun hid in the corner, took out his mobile phone and searched for Changhai Welfare Home, especially adding the date of today three years ago.

Search this!

Incredible!

A lot of news popped up!

What it probably means is that three years ago today, a food poisoning accident occurred in the welfare home. Twelve children were poisoned by food and were unable to be rescued after being sent to the hospital.

After a police search, it was discovered that the dean had purchased a batch of poisoned beef.

The director didn't know about it. She just wanted to save some money for the orphanage. She didn't expect such a big thing to happen.

The dean, who loved the children deeply, naturally felt extremely guilty and regretful, and even committed suicide several times.

Of course, the beef seller cannot escape legal punishment, but the damage caused is huge.

One misstep will lead to eternal hatred!

The dean made a big mistake, and the consequences were serious and irreversible.

What Wang Zun noticed was that half a year after this incident, Datou also died of excessive water accumulation in his brain.

The bulk of the kids are almost...

Wang Zun was keenly aware that there seemed to be an inexplicable connection, but he couldn't figure it out for a while.

He looked at the dean at the foot of the stairs, his eyes narrowed. He was also a poor old man. He spent his whole life for his children, but he did something wrong.

This is also the time!

A gust of wind suddenly blew by, blowing away the ashes in the brazier and extinguishing the flames on the spot.

The fragrant wax also went out and was blown over to the ground.

The wind did not stop, but instead got stronger and stronger, causing the remaining ash on the ground to fly, and making a faint roar.

Wang Zun's eyes narrowed, and he took a deep breath. Even he, his face trembled involuntarily.

He saw a row of figures standing behind the dean, no more, no less, exactly twelve.

These figures are not tall and look like they are eight or nine years old.

A row of ghosts!

Wang Zun is also hairy!

There is a ghost inside that blows into the wind and destroys the dean's good intentions.

Something ghost came up and kicked the brazier away.

If something ghost comes up and hits the fragrant wax, it will stomp on it.

They are angry, they are unwilling, and they cannot understand.

The dean's body was trembling, he stood up with crutches, and two more lines of tears fell from his eyes.

She knew that the children would not accept her suggestion.
