Cook in full swing in an escape game

Chapter 60

Lin Sheng took the little boy to the lobby on the first floor to rest. Seeing that the woman surnamed Ma left, the boy no longer behaved so pitifully, but kept a little distance from Lin Sheng.

Lin Sheng couldn't help but laugh.

No matter how you look at it, this guy is too ghostly.

But no matter how ghost-headed he was, he was still a child. Lin Sheng took out some delicious food and drink, and then managed to get useful information out of the boy's mouth.

The little boy's name is Marin, and he is six years old. A couple of months ago, a couple adopted him back home from an orphanage.

Lin Sheng raised his eyes and looked in the direction of the dean's office. At this moment, his voice had stopped, and within half a minute, the dean and the couple came out together.

As soon as the couple saw the boy on the first floor, their already frowning brows became deeper in an instant.

The man turned his head and said to the dean: "Thank you for understanding us, we have no choice but to lock him up all day long."

The woman didn't speak, and bent down to touch the boy's face again, but the boy dodged her when she didn't want to. Her outstretched hand froze in the air for a few seconds, and the atmosphere became a little awkward.

Seeing this, Lin Sheng became more and more curious, what happened to Marin?Was it his adoptive parents who treated him badly?

After the couple left, Marin stayed in the orphanage. Who knew that instead of being lost, he lived happily.Lin Sheng gradually heard some things about him from his colleagues.

Marin, like most of the children here, is a native of Majia Village. Five years ago, a fire broke out in the village, killing many people, and a large number of children became orphans. The first batch of children adopted by the hospital.

Everyone in Majia Village said that the child Marin was smart because he followed his mother. His mother was unusual in the local area. physical.

"It's also our fault that we always talked about his mother in his ears since we were young. Marin has heard it since he was a child. Although he has never met his mother, he admires her very much. This has happened over and over again." He ran out of his adoptive parents' house to find his biological mother."

It turned out that Marin's adoptive parents retired him because of this, but what shocked Lin Sheng more than the reason was that Marin's mother had such a high education.

"A doctoral student studying nuclear physics? Then why is she in Majia Village?"

Majia Village is remote and closed, and many villagers can't even read a single character. How could a woman engaged in nuclear physics come here?

It's a pity that whenever Lin Sheng asked this question, the staff of the orphanage would give him an indescribable look.Most of these people came from that village, maybe it was inconvenient to tell outsiders their secrets, Lin Sheng guessed.

So, Lin Sheng took a day off and came to Majia Village in the name of collecting special products.

Majia Village is the next stop of the orphanage, and the orphanage is still barely under the jurisdiction of the county seat, but Majia Village is an out-and-out rural area.Lin Sheng walked along a long dirt road, and the surrounding scenery changed from lush forests to bare hills, and finally he saw Majia Village.

Coincidentally, Lin Sheng saw a burst of dust at the entrance of the village. He lifted his collar and squinted his eyes to look there. Under the cover of the yellow sand, it was a familiar bus heading out of the village. Come.

The bus was getting closer and closer, Lin Sheng turned his body sideways, only to hear the driver honked his horn, put his head out and shouted loudly:

"By car?"

Lin Sheng waved his hand quickly, indicating that he would not get on the bus. The bus did not leave with dust, but stopped in the middle of the road.

The car door opened, and the driver staggered down from it, and raised his eyelids at Lin Sheng, as if remembering something.

"Aren't you that foreign boy?"

It turned out that it was the driver who had just entered the dungeon. Lin Sheng hurriedly nodded in response, and then took out the work card of the orphanage and said, "I'm going to work in the orphanage, and I want to come to the village to collect some souvenirs."

The woman surnamed Ma said that being a staff member of the orphanage can dispel the local people's scruples about him. Lin Sheng wanted this elder brother to take him into the village, so he began to make friends enthusiastically.

"What souvenir do you want? Do you want dried sweet potatoes? Go to my house and collect them."

Lin Sheng glanced at the bus. He thought the driver was about to leave, but the eldest brother waved his hand and said, "No rush, I'll start the bus when there are more people."

There is no strict time limit for the shuttle bus at the head of the village, and the villagers are used to laxity on weekdays. Compared with starting the bus, the driver obviously wants to earn some extra money at this time.Lin Sheng followed the driver and walked into the village. Majia Village is not big. Seeing a stranger coming in, people from every household popped up to look at them. Some of them talked to the driver, and he introduced him to my house to buy sweet potatoes. dry.

Seeing that each courtyard was small and dilapidated, and looked dilapidated and seldom taken care of in the past, Lin Sheng looked around and soon found something strange.

After walking more than half a circle in the village, the people who showed their heads were all men. Lin Sheng didn't even see a young woman, only a few old ladies basking in the sun on the small bench at the door.

It is impossible for a village to survive without young women. Where are they hiding?Is it inconvenient to meet outsiders?

After buying dried sweet potatoes at the driver's uncle's house, the other villagers saw that Lin Sheng paid the money readily and generously, so they dragged Lin Sheng to their own yard one by one.

Lin Sheng hurried back to the orphanage. It was getting late at this time, and the orphanage was closed at nine o'clock in the evening. When Lin Sheng arrived at the door, it was already a few minutes after ten o'clock, and a big lock was hanging on the iron gate. .

It would have violated the work regulations of the orphanage to come back after the gate control time, but fortunately there was no one around, Lin Sheng estimated that everyone should have fallen asleep long ago, he was planning to throw things in first, and then he climbed over the wall and entered. In the courtyard, unexpectedly there was a sound in the quiet night.

"It's so late, what have you been doing?"

Afraid of what might come, Lin Sheng followed the voice and saw that the dean was standing under the shadow of a tree, looking at him with arms folded, with a very alert look on his face.

Being caught on the spot, Lin Sheng had no choice but to shake the full bag in his hand, and said embarrassedly: "Dean, I went to collect special products, and I came back a bit late."

"Just accept special products?" The dean raised his eyebrows, obviously not buying it.

Other staff also came out of the building. They were neatly dressed, and they were ready to wait for Lin Sheng to appear.

Someone raised his hand to check the time, "Where does it take so long to collect souvenirs?"

"Why didn't you tell us when you came back, what are you doing sneaking outside the door alone?"

In addition to the dean, other staff members also became suspicious of Lin Sheng. Although he explained that he went out to buy food for the children, his mouth was no match for what the other person said. He didn't believe what Lin Sheng said.

"Then why have I never seen you feed the children?"

"How much is your salary, and there are so many children, where do you get the money?"

......

Seeing that the situation was already very unfavorable for Lin Sheng, at this moment, Marin suddenly walked out from the crowd.

He ran straight to the dean and said, "It's true, brother Lin always secretly stuffs us with delicious food!"

The dean didn't believe Lin Sheng's words at first. After all, the quality she valued most in employees was honesty, but the young man in front of her concealed something. However, Marin's appearance surprised her a little.

Behind him, several children also nodded frequently, indicating that what he said was true.

It was only then that the dean and everyone discovered that this new employee had been secretly cooking for the children from the very beginning. More and more children were woken up and went outside, and some of them even took Lin Sheng to cook for them. toys.

Lin Sheng breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't expect his usual kindness to save his life at a critical moment. After everyone dispersed, he called Marin aside and asked him with a smile why he was up so late.

Fortunately, Marin slept late today, otherwise Lin Sheng would not know how the dean would deal with him.

Marin looked very energetic, and danced and said: "Today, an auntie came to the orphanage, and the auntie talked to me for a long time!"

Lin Sheng paused, did any new adopters come during his absence?

No one thought that after one night, Marin, who was still alive and kicking yesterday, suddenly fell ill.

Marin on the hospital bed had a high fever, and he half-closed his eyes weakly, even after taking antipyretics, there was no improvement.The dean invited a doctor to see him, but after three or five days, Marin still didn't get better.

Lin Sheng was very anxious, and he tried various methods, but Marin's illness came on very badly, and the high fever couldn't go away no matter what.Seeing the little boy getting weaker day by day, and the woman surnamed Ma often wiping tears behind her back, the atmosphere in the orphanage became very depressing, and everyone gradually understood that the child might not be able to be kept.

In order to save Marin, Lin Sheng and the woman surnamed Ma came to the dean's office to discuss a solution.

"Dean! Please help him!"

Although the woman surnamed Ma reprimanded Malindo on weekdays, she cried like a tearful person in the dean's office at this time. The dean sighed and said, "Oh, why don't I feel sorry for this child."

"The most important thing right now is to find out the cause of his fever." Lin Sheng couldn't figure it out anyway. How could a healthy child suddenly get sick? "I remember Marin said that the day before he had a fever, an aunt came to the orphanage and chatted with him for a long time."

Unexpectedly, when the woman surnamed Ma heard what he said, she immediately replied: "Impossible! Marin's illness cannot be related to her! She is the biggest benefactor of the orphanage, how could she be detrimental to the children?"

Lin Sheng explained: "I'm not saying that she is not good for the child, I just want to know what she talked with Marin that day, will she know the cause of Marin's illness?"

The obvious protection of the woman surnamed Ma made Lin Sheng even more curious. Who was the woman who came to the orphanage that day?What did she talk to Marin about?

Facing the impasse in front of him, the dean had no choice but to treat the dead horse as a living horse doctor. She intervened and said, "I will call her and ask her to come again."
