Chapter 51 - 51

Chapter 51 The temperature begins to dropSu Xiaoyu strode to the door, saw it wasn't locked, and opened it. After a quick glance, she saw there was nothing there. She turned toWang Yalan and said…"Don't mention to anyone that you saw me tonight.""Okay." Wang Yalan agreed with a smile, then smelled a floral fragrance, and everything went black.Su Xiaoyu casually hugged the person and then went into the house.Since there wasn't a suitable place, they made people sit against the wall.Then they started taking things out of their space: quilts, down jackets, twenty bags of various grains, about ten barrels of oil, and some salt.Several bags of various kinds of dried vegetables were also prepared for them.Finally, they brought out some more coal, and now the whole house is full.Feeling there shouldn't be anything missing, they finally thought of medicine: fever reducers, anti-inflammatory drugs, and various painkillers. They kept 20 boxes of each, put them in a large cloth bag, and placed it in Wang Yalan's arms. After doing all this, they closed the door and left.I had dreams all night last night, and I don't want these children to go through those things again.It suddenly occurred to me that treating the symptoms is not a cure; the key is to eradicate the root cause of that person's problems.Not knowing the location of the base, we had no choice but to abandon our plan and return the way we came.The car sped up on the way back, and we got back to the house before dawn. Lying on the soft bed, I finally relaxed and fell into a deep sleep.I slept soundly and didn't dream about those messy things again, as if they had never happened.Orphanage.Wang Yalan woke up to the sound of her children calling her. She saw several children gathered around her and didn't understand what was happening."Teacher, there are so many more things in this room. Are we going to have a full meal today?" one of the children asked.Another child continued, "I want to eat steamed buns, I want to eat twisted rolls, I don't want to drink porridge anymore."Wang Yalan slowly stood up and found that there were many more things in the room, especially a bag in her hand. When she opened it, she found that it was full of medicine.And they're all medicines for children...She carefully inspected the extra items in the room, which made her gasp in shock.Was that boy a deity sent from heaven?They are specifically there to rescue these suffering children, orphans abandoned at a young age, or those who had parents but whom they no longer wanted to raise, leaving them atthe doorstep of Orphanage. Most are disabled children; God made them incomplete and hasn't even chosen a good family for them. If it weren't for Orphanage, their lives would be destined to be difficult, with almost no chance of surviving to adulthood.Remembering what the boy had told him, the smile on his face vanished, and he spoke seriously to the children."With so many new things, you must not tell anyone. These are all secrets that need to be kept."The older children were very sensible and nodded repeatedly to show that they understood.Wang Yalan quickly regained his fighting spirit, gathered all the children together, and without hesitation gave each of them a pill to take.Within just a few hours, large red patches appeared on the child's face, which looked rather frightening.Even she herself ate one, and a large red spot appeared on her face.Some children were frightened and cried, but she comforted them. Although they developed red spots, they didn't hurt or itch, and the crying subsided.The outside temperature dropped sharply, and with coal, we could start a stove. We organized a few older children to find the stove in the storeroom and installed it in the largest room.When the weather gets cold, I plan to bring all the children to live here, as long as they don't get cold.The environment inside the base might not be much better than what they are in now, so what the boy said is credible.Two days later.Qi Tianyu brought his people to Orphanage, thinking that since the weather was so cold,Wang Yalan would probably agree to take the child to the base.Once you get to the base, everything becomes justifiable.The base now has a population of 20,000, all of whom came from nearby areas. Some brought supplies, while others only brought people.Such a large base consumes a staggering amount of supplies every day. Especially with the recent drop in temperature, they've realized they absolutely need coal to last through the winter.After sending the people back, we will lead a team to the coal yard to check the environment and then decide how to transport the coal back.When he saw Wang Yalan appear in front of him, he could hardly believe his eyes.In less than a week, large red patches appeared on the woman's face. She was pale and thin, looking as if she was about to die.But then I thought again, isn't it a good thing that someone dies?After they died, these children were left alone and helpless, with no one to stand up for them. With this thought in mind, the steps that had been taken back were taken back again.But then several more children appeared behindWang Yalan, and their faces were in even worse condition than hers.Only then did he lead his men back seven or eight meters, no longer standing at the doorway.Seeing this, Wang Yalan didn't laugh; instead, she burst into tears and said..."You've finally arrived. My children and I don't know what illness we have, but we've ended up like this.""Is there a doctor at the base? Could you please save the children first? I don't care about myself, as long as they can survive!"People are sick, and it's an infectious disease. Qi Tianyu is no longer the young master he was before the natural disaster. Infectious diseases are very scary. There are no hospitals now, and even if there were doctors, there would be no medicine.The base now has a medical room filled with medicines scavenged from various places. The two doctors are former surgeons who are not very knowledgeable about various pathologies, so whether a patient survives depends entirely on luck.Wang Yalan stepped forward and pulled several children down to their knees."Please, have pity on the children!""I'm sorry, we can't help you. We asked you to take the child to the base before, but you insisted on staying in this godforsaken place. There are more than 20,000 people at the base now, and the accommodation is limited. There is simply no way to accommodate you all, so I can't help you!" Qi Tianyu said these high-sounding words, but in his heart he was afraid that he might have contracted some infectious disease.Not wanting to hear their whining anymore, I quickly got into the car with my brothers and leftOrphanage as fast as I could.All that remained were exhaust fumes and those pitiful people.If it weren't for the natural disaster, perhaps these people could have survived. But with another extreme cold snap looming, it's likely that by the next time it strikes, they'll be a pile of corpses.Little did they know that after they left, Wang Yalan quickly got the children up and went back inside to continue eating breakfast.These past few days I've been constantly teaching the children to act, making sure they scare these people away. And sure enough, they did live up to my expectations and actually fooled them.As for the red spots on her face, she didn't want to remove them, lest those people outside would have designs on them.Even if outsiders know there is food and water in a place with an infectious disease, they will not risk their lives.
