Chapter 110: Pursuit
After breakfast, everyone learned that they didn't have to study today and had a day off, so they all took Xiao Shiwu out to play games on the grass.
With No. 4 leading the game, there was laughter and joy during the game.
Lilia was also watching with a smile not far away, everything was so peaceful and beautiful.
It was just that No. 1 who came to find Bai Mu under the big tree, the smile on his face was no longer warm, but angry.
When he had a secret conversation with No. 3 last night, No. 1 had already known that the so-called adoption might not be a good thing.
No. 3 was not a member of this orphanage before, but came later. In the orphanage before him, the adopted children never came back, nor did they send a letter back.
No one knows what happened in this process, but it is certain that the children in the orphanage are not the kind of people who will forget them.
"Brother."
The sight was blocked by the shadow, and Bai Mu looked up and saw No. 1's face was ugly.
"How is this passage in the world's strange language recorded?"
Under Bai Mu's guidance, No. 1 also knew the existence of the decryption code, corresponding to this pattern, he also saw that sentence.
Number One, who never read these books, now realized that the truth he was looking for might be hidden in an inconspicuous place.
Number One, who subconsciously ignored these places, frowned at this time.
"Don't tell anyone else about this matter, okay? Little Seventeen."
Number One, who took a deep breath and calmed down, reminded Bai Mu at this time.
Nodding slightly to show that he knew, Bai Mu looked around and said to Number One: "Brother, this orphanage may have problems."
"I know." Nodding, Number One reminded: "Little Seventeen, Big Brother knows that you are very smart, but you must not reveal more things, understand?"
As he grew older, Number One felt that he had lost something, to be precise, some memories.
There was no impression before the age of five in his mind, and when he asked his mother, he only said that he had always lived in an orphanage.
His mother lied about this matter, because he had dreamed of some pictures that did not belong to the orphanage.
These pictures were extremely real, so real that they did not seem like a dream, but things that had been experienced.
This is also the reason why No. 1 is keen to find the truth, but unfortunately his starting point seems to be wrong.
"Brother, maybe we were not abducted by human traffickers, but kidnapped."
Bai Mu narrowed his eyes and said this tentatively.
After a while, the originally calm weather suddenly became gloomy, and the sky was covered with dark clouds.
"Kidnapping?"
No. 1 has also considered this issue. After all, the children in the orphanage have high IQs and their scores in every educational examination are exceptionally good.
Except for the fifteenth child who is about to be adopted, the scores are basically above 90% pass rate, and their top four and seventeen have reached 100% pass rate.
Even if the environment can affect it, it is not so exaggerated.
"Boom."
The sound of thunder sounded, looking up at the raindrops that had begun to fall, No. 1 stretched out his hand to Bai Mu: "Brother will investigate this matter. Don't tell others, especially mother, understand?"
"I know, brother."
The conversation between the two ended here and returned to the hut.
Number 4, who had not yet had enough fun, saw Little Fifteen, who was also not satisfied, so she begged Lilia to play for a while longer in the afternoon.
Lilia did not show any embarrassment. After all, this was the first time they had adopted children here, so it was okay to let them play for a while longer.
The time for learning was long, but the time for playing was short.
Soon the night fell, and it was time for Little Fifteen to leave.
"You guys wait at home obediently, Aunt Aya will be here with you."
Lilia, holding the oil lamp, took Little Fifteen, whose eyes were red, and told her.
Number 4's face was full of unhappiness at this time. She didn't want Little Fifteen to leave. They should be a family. But being adopted is the hope of every child, and she couldn't selfishly leave Little Fifteen behind.
After watching Lilia leave, Number 4 turned around and ran towards the rest room.
Parting is always painful.
"Rest."
Looking at Number 4 who had already run upstairs, Number 1 sighed and called the other children.
At this time, Bai Mu looked at the door that was not locked yet, and there was no blood-colored vine blocking him. With a thoughtful look in his eyes, he silently landed at the back of the team.
After Lilia left, the eyes on the wall also closed. This was undoubtedly a good opportunity.
Bai Mu took advantage of the large group going upstairs, turned around and ran out of the house and ran outside.
"It's different from the daytime."
If the orphanage in the daytime is extremely warm, then the orphanage at night is dead.
In the extremely dim light, Bai Mu was very glad that it rained this morning and could follow the blurred footprints to follow the way out.
"Huh."
It was still too strenuous for a six-year-old body to walk such a long distance. Bai Mu panted and raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead.
But the good news is that he has seen the oil lamp held by Lilia, and the light emitted has not moved, which means that she has reached the iron gate.
The bad news is that when Bai Mu can see the whole picture clearly, Xiao Shiwu has disappeared.
"Take care of yourself."
Looking at Xiao Fifteen who looked back at her from time to time, Lilia covered her mouth to hold back the pain in her heart and choked out these words.
Although she only took care of him for three months, for Lilia, Xiao Shiwu was already her child.
"Mom, I don't want to leave."
Xiao Fifteen, who was being led by the lackey, was surrounded by darkness and filled with fear. He turned around and shouted to Lilia.
But no matter how she shouted, Lilia turned a deaf ear.
Bai Mu, who was relatively far away, heard it, but Lilia still didn't hear it.
When Bai Mu looked over, he discovered that a hand appeared on the left and right sides of Lilia's ears, covering them tightly to prevent her from hearing the sounds outside.
Just like that, Xiao Shiwu completely disappeared into the darkness.
After Xiao Shiwu could no longer be seen, Lilia raised her hand to wipe her tears, then turned around and left holding the oil lamp.
After confirming that Lilia had left, Bai Mu approached the iron gate.
There is a gap at the bottom of the iron door, just enough to fit through.
It's just that the outside is filled with airtight things like gates, but here it's turned into an iron gate. It's probably a trap.
However, Bai Mu, who had already planned to pay the price of death to see the adoption situation, got down and got in without saying a word.
A sense of coldness swept over him again. Bai Mu approached the inner position of the passage and quietly walked towards the depths.
