Zheng Anze also took a sip, and the two of them ate a mantou. They weren't that hungry anymore.
Zheng Enze saw that his sister's braids were loose.
He asked his sister to sit down and knelt behind her, clumsily combing her hair. He was a boy and had never tied his hair up before, but it should be like this. However, he realized that his limbs were too short. In just a short while, his head was already covered in sweat. He did not know if he had hurt his sister. Langlang only opened his big eyes innocently and looked at her little fingers. She did not cry out in pain. She did not have pupils at all. Zheng Anze realized this. His sister actually didn't know how to speak.
However, this did not matter. This was a sister he had picked up, a relative he had picked up. It did not matter whether Langlang was mute or not, whether he could speak or not. It did not matter.
This was his little sister.
He thought of what the uncle who gave them the deep-fried dough sticks had said. He said that they should go to the orphanage where there was food and water, and they could go to school. He rested his chin on his sister's head.
"Langlang, big brother will bring you to the orphanage, okay?" This way, we will have food to eat, a place to sleep, a place to go to school, and no one to bully us."
Langlang nodded her little head obediently. She did not know what an orphanage was, but she was afraid of hunger and being bullied.
come, I'll carry you. Let's go. he bent down and let his sister climb onto his back. The little girl was really thin and didn't have much meat on her body, so she was very light. However, he was also young, so he didn't feel anything when he carried her for a while. However, after carrying her for a long time, he was very tired.
They had no idea where the orphanage was, so they could only ask as they walked.
When they were hungry, they would eat the steamed buns that they had saved up. When they were thirsty, they would drink water from fountains and other people's water pipes.
The weather was getting colder and colder. Most of the time, they were squeezed in a small corner. The older child held the younger one and used his not-so-wide front to block all the cold for his sister.
The little girl was carrying an old doll in her arms. Her brother, Zheng Enze, had picked it up for her sister on the road. The doll was not dirty and might have been thrown away. It was just broken, but her sister liked it very much and had been carrying it in her arms.
He rarely saw his sister smile.
When he was tired from walking, he would carry his sister to a place where no one was around and rest his legs. At this time, someone would stop beside them.
"You two little ones, where are you going?" It was an older uncle.
Along the way, the siblings met many good people. Even Zheng Anze, who had always been cautious, felt that there were many good people in the world, except for those relatives who had taken over his house after his mother passed away and chased him out.
"Our sister is going to the orphanage."
As he spoke, he pressed his sister's little head into his arms.
Langlang hugged the old doll in his arms tightly. Then, he reached out and held Zheng Anze's hand, grinning at him. Although she was small, she was very stunning. Zheng Anze probably didn't know what that meant. He only felt that his sister's smile was very cute. However, the eyes of the man standing opposite them flashed.
"I'm going to the orphanage, do you want to take a ride? I won't take your money."
Zheng Anze didn't say anything. He didn't really trust this uncle.
the orphanage is very far from here, " the man said. if you walk, it may take months. You don't know the place, so it's easy to go the wrong way. It may take more time. &Quot;
don't worry. the man laughed heartily and patted Zheng Anze's head. I often travel long distances, so I'm very familiar with those places. If I drive fast, I'll be there in a few days. Even if you're not worried about yourself, what about your sister? she's so young. How can she walk such a long distance? "
Zheng Anze was a little hesitant. He held his sister's hand tightly, not knowing if he should agree to sit in this stranger's car.
"Uncle still has something to do and will be leaving soon. You don't have much time to consider." The man reminded him again. He took out his wallet and took out a few notes, placing them in front of Zheng Enze.
If you don't go with uncle, you can keep the money. I hope you can reach the orphanage safely. After the man finished speaking, he sighed. This area wasn't very safe. He heard that many children had already been lost.
Zheng Anze didn't take the money. He lowered his head and looked at his little sister sitting beside him. He held his sister's hand and looked at the man.
"Uncle, we don't want your money. Can you please send us to the orphanage?"
mm, okay. the man retracted his hand and reached out to carry Langlang away, but Zheng Anze held his sister and did not let go.
"Uncle, I can carry her. My sister is afraid of strangers."
As he spoke, he also stood up and hugged his sister who was on the ground in his arms. Lang Lang also placed his small head on his brother's shoulder, not saying a word.
The man had no choice but to withdraw his hand, and then took the brother and sister to his car. It was a black car, and when they got in, the driver took out the candy in the car and gave it to them.
thank you, uncle, " Zheng Anze thanked him. He unwrapped the candy wrapper for his sister.
Langlang licked it, then placed the candy into his pocket when Zheng Enze was not paying attention. Zheng Anze ate one too. He turned around and patted his sister's little head.
Langlang rested his head on Zheng Anze's lap. They had no idea what was going on outside when the car started moving. They had no idea where they were going or which road they were taking.
After Langlang had woken up while rubbing his eyes, she gently reached out her little hand and tugged at Zheng Anze's sleeve. Zheng Anze didn't say anything as he was sound asleep. Langlang let go of her little hand and continued to sleep on her brother's leg.
Just as she was about to fall asleep, she opened her eyes. The car stopped, and the door seemed to have opened. She closed her eyes tightly and held her brother's hand tightly, instinctively afraid of people.
"The goods you got today seem pretty good?" A man's voice was heard, " have you found out that these two don't have any background? "
don't worry. it was the driver's voice. I've asked around. I've been with them for a long time. They're both orphans and are going to look for an orphanage. The older one can be sold to work as a worker. This girl is very beautiful. She should be able to sell for a good price. &Quot;
