Following Long Xueyao's introduction, Tan Xiu and Wu Xiufen simply got acquainted. Then, he sat in the driver's seat and watched the two enter the orphanage. Only then did he start the car and slowly drive in.
The Bluestar Welfare House was very dilapidated and its basic facilities were not perfect. Although there were several swings in the big courtyard, they could only be provided for children to play. Newspapers were pasted on the windows of many rooms in the two-story building, and two windows were covered with plastic sheets.
"Huh?"
Tan Xiu's eyes suddenly narrowed. He was keenly aware that in the corridor downstairs, a boy holding a small wooden stick was standing quietly next to the cement pillar. He seemed to be looking at the world of fluttering snow outside, but his eyes were devoid of spirit. His face was frostbitten and red with some bloodstains. His little hand, which was not holding anything, was stretched out as if to catch the falling snowflakes from the sky.
Tan Xiu parked the off-road vehicle in front of the building. He didn't immediately help Long Xueyao and Dean Wu move their things, but walked toward the little boy instead.
"Who are you?"
The little boy didn't look back and didn't even move his neck.
Tan Xiu slightly furrowed his brows and said, "You can't see?"
The little boy smiled. The smile on his frostbitten little face was very full as he said, "Who said I can't see? I know that it's snowing now, and I also know that you came to me. That's right, there was a car sound just now. It seems that Aunt Xueyao drove this car before. The sound is similar to the last time. Did you come with Aunt Xueyao? "
Tan Xiu nodded. He suddenly remembered the little boy's situation and quickly said, "Yes, I came with your Aunt Xueyao. We bought some clothes and daily necessities and came over to give them to you. Little guy, aren't you cold here? Do you want to go back inside? "
The little boy shook his head and said, "It's quite cold here, but I want to sober up."
"What?"
Tan Xiu was confused by the little boy's words.
Sober up?
What does he mean?
Tan Xiu voiced the question in his heart, but the boy did not rush to answer him. Instead, he walked out of the corridor with the wooden stick and came to the snowy courtyard. He opened his arms and took two deep breaths. Then, he said aloud, "My mother once told me that you don't need to use your eyes to see many things. You can see them with your heart. When I am calm, my heart will be calm. When I am calm, I can see the sky, people, and other things. Just like this snow, if others can see it, I can also see it. "
Saying that!
He gently lifted the wooden stick. Although his hand was trembling in the cold weather, the other end of the stick was very stable. This unscientific behavior made Tan Xiu's pupils suddenly contract. He clearly saw the little boy use the tip of the wooden stick to easily catch the biggest snowflake in front of him.
That's right!
It was the biggest!
Tan Xiu's eyesight was sharp, and he could tell with a glance.
"What's your name?"
The boy said, "You can call me Little Blind! That's what they call me. "
Tan Xiu was silent for a moment, and then asked again, "How old are you?"
The little boy thought about it and said, "I should be 15 years old, right? That's right. I was blinded when I was 8 years old. After living in this orphanage for 7 years, I'm 15 years old now. "
15 years old?
Are you kidding me?
Tan Xiu looked at the little boy who looked like he was 7 or 8 years old. It was hard to imagine that he was already 15 years old. In an instant, Tan Xiu appeared in front of the little boy. When the little boy's ears twitched, he reached out and grabbed his wrist.
"Blood in the veins? Qi in the bones? "
Tan Xiu looked at the little boy in front of him in disbelief, and his heart beat faster. He had seen countless races and encountered countless kinds of special physiques, but he had never encountered a situation like this boy's. However … he had seen records in ancient books: The blood in the veins will not die, and the Qi in the bones will not die. It was rare to meet in billions of years, and it was an ice body.
A boy with an ice body?
According to the records that Tan Xiu saw, the ice body only appeared on girls. Now, it actually appeared on a boy's body. This strange situation left him at a loss.
"Uncle, are you on fire? “
Little Blind suddenly asked.
Tan Xiu's lips squirmed a few times before he asked, "Why do you ask?"
Little Blind said, "Your body is very warm, just like when I was near the fire. It's very comfortable. It feels like the sound of the blood flowing in my veins is louder than usual. "
Tan Xiu was shocked. "You can hear the sound of your blood flowing in your veins?"
Little Blind said with a smile, "Yes! Not only could I hear the blood rushing through my veins, but I could also hear the grinding of my bones. By the way, what I can hear the most is the sound of my heart beating. It's like a drum. Sometimes, it's so loud that I can't sleep well. "
Suddenly …
He seemed to recall something and the smile on his face receded like a tide. His expression turned a bit sad as he shook his head and said, "Uncle, you shouldn't believe me, because they don't believe me. Even the Dean and Grandma Wu don't believe me."
Tan Xiu looked at Little Blind with a complicated expression. Countless thoughts were churning inside his mind. After a long while, Long Xueyao's shout came from the distant corridor. He looked at Little Blind and said, "If … I mean, if I'm willing to adopt you and take you away from here, would you like to go with me?"
"Why do you want to adopt me?" Little Blind asked back.
"It's not because you're pitiful. It's because I think you're very good," Tan Xiu said. "I can train you into a very powerful person in the future."
Little Blind shook his head and smilingly said, "I won't refuse you. It's because I'll be a burden for Grandma Wu and the other aunties and uncles if I stay here for another day. However, I've never thought about becoming a big shot in the future. I want to see more things and have the ability to help Grandma Wu … "
"I just checked your eyes," said Tan Xiu. "I can't cure it with Chinese medicine, and I'm afraid it's also difficult to use Western medicine. But if you really come with me, I guarantee that you'll be able to see things in the future. Not with your eyes, but with your heart. Do you know? I'm actually the same as you. I can see a lot of things even if I close my eyes. "
"Really?"
Little Blind was surprised.
"It's true." Tan Xiu nodded. "My current ability is limited. I can only see a range of 300-400 meters if I close my eyes. I can't see anything further than that. However, I believe that I'll be able to see further once I become stronger. Perhaps one day, with just a single thought, you'll be able to see the scene thousands of miles away. "
"Are you talking about the Heavenly Eye, Uncle?" Asked Little Blind curiously.
"You know about the Heavenly Eye?" Tan Xiu was confused.
"Grandma Wu once told me that monks can open their Heavenly Eye," said Little Blind with a smile. "That's right. I've seen Erlang Shen in the Journey to the West on TV. He can open his Heavenly Eye … the third eye."
Tan Xiu couldn't help laughing. He didn't explain but directly picked him up. While walking inside, he smilingly said, "I can make you see more and further than opening your Heavenly Eye in the future."
"Uncle, don't look at me just because I'm young. I'm already 15 years old. You don't have to coax me with such childish words. Ah … I can smell Auntie Xueyao's scent. She's right in front of me. "
Long Xueyao indeed appeared in front of Tan Xiu and Little Blind. Her eyes were a bit complicated, with sympathy, pity, and a bit of worry. She raised her hand and gently stroked Little Blind's head, saying, "Little Hanhan, are you being disobedient again? It's such a cold day and everyone else is warm inside. Why did you come out? Look at your little face. It's frozen. "
"Auntie Xueyao!" Little Blind laughed. "I'll get frostbite, but I won't get sick. Did you forget that I slept in the snow for a night and didn't get sick the next day? "
"You little guy, you're getting more and more disobedient," said Long Xueyao snappily. "Auntie Xueyao won't come to see you anymore if you dare to run out again."
Little Blind pointed to Tan Xiu and said, "Auntie Xueyao, this uncle said he wants to adopt me."
Long Xueyao stared blankly and quickly looked at Tan Xiu with an inquiring look.
"He and I hit it off very well and I like him very much," said Tan Xiu. "Since he'll become a burden for everyone in the orphanage, then let me take him away! Also, I'll donate 2 million yuan to the Bluestar Orphanage. I'll find a construction team to help the orphanage repair the houses and buy a batch of daily necessities, desks, chairs, and books at the beginning of next spring. Also, I'll find a way to find some teachers to come and teach these children. "
"Really?" Long Xueyao was pleasantly surprised.
"A monarch never goes back on his words," said Tan Xiu.
"Pfft …"
Long Xueyao couldn't help but laugh and said with a smile, "Do you really think you're an emperor? But I'll remember your words. If you don't do it, I'll ridicule you when I see you in the future. "
Tan Xiu let out a faint smile. He felt that he should do more. Suddenly, a bright smiling face appeared in his mind.
Tian Xiaomeng?
After putting Little Blind down, Tan Xiu took out his mobile and dialed the number of Li Hongji, the President of Star City Chinese Medical Hospital. After his call was connected, he directly said, "President Li, during the National Day holiday, when I was giving medical services in Star City Chinese Medical Hospital, a girl secretly uploaded a video of me giving medical services to the Internet. Her name is Tian Xiaomeng, and she seems to be a network anchor. Can you help me find out how to contact her? "
"No problem. Just wait for my good news," said Li Hongji with a smile. "That's right, you should have returned to Star City, right? When will you come to the hospital again? "
"In a few days!" said Tan Xiu. "But don't disclose the news that I'm going to give medical services, lest the situation during the National Day occurs again."
"Alright!"
Li Hongji readily agreed.
After hanging up the phone, Tang Xiu looked at President Wu, who was limping out of the room again. He knew what he had to do. Although he couldn't do much, he was willing to do what he could as long as it was within his ability.
