However, how many people knew that behind this flourishing world, there were so many people living in such an environment?
Just as he passed by a family, Fangzheng heard the sobbing of an elderly person as well as He Ming's consoling voice. Although Fangzheng had never learned the local dialect, he could understand the language of all living creatures. Dialect was naturally one of them.
"Captain He, our old man left unjustly … Boohoo, why did he leave just like that? He climbed the stairway to heaven his entire life, but … Boohoo … "
He Ming whispered, "Auntie, don't cry. Isn't there still us even if Uncle leaves? We will come often to accompany you. Look, this is a hair clip I brought for you. It's so pretty. When your granddaughter returns, you can give it to her. "
"Thank you. Thank you, Captain He. You are a good person. It's best you don't come again."
"Why?"
"This path isn't meant for humans. Good people should live to a ripe old age …"
Fangzheng's heart winced when he heard that. Red Boy remained silent as well.
As they continued walking forward, Fangzheng heard a series of maniacal laughter. The moment he heard it, it sounded like a machine gun. It was definitely Yao Yuxin. Fangzheng had the intention of avoiding this girl who was a little crazy and didn't think things through before she did things. However, he soon heard an elderly man's laughter. He was very curious as to what the lass had done to make the elderly man so happy.
He took Red Boy with him and sneaked over. He leaned on the top of the wall and looked inside. He happened to see Yao Yuxin jumping and jumping. Then, she gesticulated and told a story with her saliva flying everywhere. Her expression and actions were exaggerated, but the old man couldn't stop laughing.
"Venerable One, what are you doing?" At that moment, a question came from behind. It gave Fangzheng and Red Boy such a fright that they nearly tripped. When they turned back, they saw the dance teacher, a bespectacled boy named Ma Haomiao.
"Patron Ma, This Penniless Monk is looking at Patron Yao. Her actions are very strange." Fangzheng did not know how to describe it.
Red Boy said directly, "Like a lunatic's actions."
Ma Haomiao instantly smiled when he heard this and said, "Yao Yuxin, she …." When he spoke up to here, Ma Haomiao sighed, and his expression became slightly solemn as he said, "Actually, Yao Yuxin wasn't like this in the past."
Fangzheng was taken aback as Red Boy asked curiously, "What did she look like in the past?"
"Let's talk on the way. If she hears me, I'll be in trouble." As Ma Haomiao walked with Fangzheng and Red Boy, he said, "I heard it from Captain. Yao Yuxin was like Sis Liu in the past, a gentle and quiet girl. But later, something happened to her family. Her grandmother, who loved her the most, passed away. From then on, she became depressed. Captain He Ming saw her like this, so he took the initiative to invite her to join our volunteer team. Perhaps she thought that the old people here were her grannies. She had said that she owed her grandmother company and laughter. Therefore, every time she came here, she would try her best to accompany these elderly people, chat with them, and make them laugh.
Some of them were old and hard of hearing. She tried her best to make her voice louder and louder. Some old people had poor eyesight, so she tried her best to make her smile more exaggerated. She even went to school to learn drama from a teacher for a while.
In order to always have a topic to talk about and not have an awkward silence, she nearly maintained the way she spoke every day. In three months, she has become like this. To be honest, it's fine if you don't know her in the past. Now, it's difficult to link the two of them together. In the past, she spoke softly and didn't show her teeth when she smiled. She was easily embarrassed. Now … She's like a tough woman, a heroine among women, "said Ma Haomiao with a bitter smile.
On the way back, Fangzheng and Red Boy looked at Yao Yuxin in a different light. Back then, they had tried to avoid the slightly neurotic woman, who was a little talkative, exaggerated, and even liked to meddle in other people's business, afraid that they would be targeted. But on the way back, the duo no longer looked at her with prejudice. At the very least, in their hearts, she was a girl worthy of respect. She was a warm-hearted girl.
After returning to Daili Village, the volunteers' last stop was Daili Hope Primary School. No one knew who had donated the school. All they knew was that it was built by a kind-hearted person. The school wasn't big. It only had two classrooms and a teacher's residence.
The volunteers' last batch of water was given to the school. The children there went to school every day, so they needed water the most.
There were a total of twelve children, and each of them was given a bottle of water. That was the amount for the day.
Fangzheng stood by the side and watched. The volunteers were clearly very familiar with their work. All of them chatted with the children like they were friends. They played games and gave them water. They did not make the children feel like they were doing charity for them. Instead, it was more like a gift from friends. Upon seeing this, Fangzheng could not help but marvel, "This is what it means to do charity." Upon saying this, Fangzheng recalled Jing Yan. Back when that lass did charity, she did not do such a thing. She wasn't professional at all!
However, the one who suffered the most was Red Boy. He was pulled into the group of children by Yao Yuxin and played hide-and-seek with her handkerchief. Red Boy didn't look old, but he wasn't young either. He felt like he was about to collapse from playing such games! However, he had no choice but to play. This was because there was a darn baldy who would recite scriptures at the slightest provocation! He had once again become the dead Daoist.
Fangzheng sat by the side and watched this scene with a chuckle. But soon, Fangzheng saw some children secretly hide their water. For example, Dachen and Huzi, as well as the lass who was the first to climb up the mountain, had secretly hidden the water into their tiny cloth bags.
"Huzi, your lips are so dry. Why aren't you drinking water?" the meticulous Sis Liu asked out of concern.
Huzi shook his head and said, "I've already drunk some. I'm like this. My lips crack easily."
"Dachen, Qiuqiu, what about the two of you? Do your lips crack easily too? "Sis Liu asked unhappily.
Dachen was old after all. He was thick-skinned as he nodded immediately. "That's right."
Qiuqiu clearly had never lied before. He was a little nervous and afraid.
Sis Liu knew that she had spoken too harshly. She went forward and said, "Qiuqiu, tell Auntie. Why aren't you drinking water?"
Qiuqiu thought that Sis Liu was going to reprimand him as he burst into tears. He said with a sobbing tone, "Auntie Liu, Qiuqiu was wrong. Qiuqiu … Qiuqiu … I just … thought … Grandma hasn't drunk any water at home. I wanted to give it to her."
Sis Liu's tears streamed down her face when she heard that. She patted Qiuqiu on the shoulder and said, "Qiuqiu, be good. Just drink some water. The aunties have already sent water to Grandma. "
