Return From The Immortal World
Chapter 473: Obedient Children
After leaving Shanghai Airport, Tang Xiu took a taxi and returned to the Villa Bluestar Complex instead of going to Zhang Xinya's concert.
"Boss!"
Banshou crouched near the entrance of the Bluestar Villa Complex. He smoked a few cigarettes while waiting. Upon seeing Tang Xiu get off the taxi, he hurriedly stepped forward to greet her.
Tang Xiu glanced at the commercial vehicle that was roaming over ten meters away, as he nodded and said, "Have you brought a few more?"
"A total of five of them, but they are rather special," Banshou said.
"What's their situation?" Tang Xiu asked with a strange expression.
“These five children are all seven years old. Three women and two men. They were adopted before, but when the old man contracted cerebrovascular disease and later died, the five of them were expelled by the old children, so they were forced to roam and live on the streets. When our people found them, they were having a fight with a group of kids for two packs of instant noodles. ”
"Call instant noodles?" Tang Xiu knit his brows.
"Yes. They had lived on the streets for over four months, and had always been unable to fill their stomachs. Finally, they met a boy a few days ago who was bullied by his schoolmates. The boy promised to give them two packs of instant noodles if they helped him teach his schoolmate a lesson, ” Banshou said.
"And the results?" Tang Xiu asked with a strange expression.
"Although they won, they also failed to get their prize," Banshou forced a wry smile. “Also, the number of their opponents has more numbers. It was five against a dozen and they beat them. ”
"Are you sure that the five of them won against a dozen kids?" Ask Tang Xiu.
“Yes, when I first saw them, they were currently fighting with that group of children. I had already asked them, and learned that the five were once adopted by an elderly man, who then taught them some martial arts. I also learned the identity of the old man, and knew that he was some sort of grandmaster in martial arts. He lives in seclusion because his leg was broken by his opponent when he was challenged to compare notes with others long ago. ”
Tang Xiu nodded, “Let's get in the car and chat in it. ”
"All right!" Banshou replied, and followed Tang Xiu to the commercial vehicle.
After opening the car door, Tang Xiu immediately sat in the front seat. After Banshou registered at the entrance gate, he drove the car into the interior of the villa complex. Tang Xiu, however, did not look back, even though he knew that the five children were sitting in the back of a commercial car. However, he used his spiritual senses to observe them instead of his eyes.
Two boys and three girls!
They dressed simply, and their appearance was very common. The five people were injured, even though it was a minor wound and would not cause anything serious. Right now, their eyes were fixed on him, and looked somewhat curious, as well as alert.
"Relax, I'm not a human trafficker. "Tang Xiu finally turned his head to have it after the commercial vehicle was parked in the courtyard of the villa. He smiled lightly after speaking, and then descended. After which, he took them to the villa's living room and said, “The five of you, just take this place as your own home for a while. You are free to see anything. ”
After saying that, he looked towards Banshou, pointed to the opposite sofa and smilingly said, “You have been relentlessly searching for street children recently. Tell me about how you feel about this. ”
“Bos, I really don't want to talk much, even though you made us do a very meaningful job. I've seen too many things, and I know too much, but every time I see these orphans and the streets. . . To be honest, I felt a bit sad inside. We were much luckier and had a happier life than these kids. Given the time when I was a trivial street thug, I felt like living like this seemed to have meaning, and it was worth it. ”
"Doing what you like, and doing what you feel is meaningful only proves that you are happy now," Tang Xiu said with a smile. “Because you love this job, then do it well. What I ask of you is not quantity, but quality. Of course, you can also think of ways to care for unqualified street children. For example, sending them to an orphanage, or to the local police, letting them find a solution for them. As for your current performance, I'm very satisfied, and I hope you can persevere in your efforts as well. ”
"I promise I'll get the job done, boss!" Banshou said seriously.
"Well, tell me about these five!" Tang Xiu nodded.
"I've investigated these five. Little Yi and Little Er are twin brothers. They were babies when the old man found them while doing a morning run by the river. Three others were also abandoned and sent to orphanages in the local area. Eventually, the orphanage was closed, and the issue of placing children there was not resolved. Although the orphanage guards tried to find a home for all of them, the three were eventually abandoned. The elderly living near the orphanage heard about this, and eventually adopted all three. ”
"So, in other words, you can't find their family members, huh?" Ask Tang Xiu.
Banshou forced a smile and replied, "We can't find them. ”
"Then, you don't need to keep looking," Tang Xiu said. “By the way, for the five of you, I want to ask you something. Do you want to be adopted by me? Of course, I will give you all the necessities of life, as well as teach you martial arts, so that you can become a skilled person in the future, "Tang Xiu said.
The five children did not run around when Tang Xiu was talking to Banshou. It was because the place was extremely luxurious, so they stood nearby, keeping their vigilance and curiosity at the same time. After hearing Tang Xiu's words, they walked towards Tang Xiu, and the tallest one, a girl, then asked, "What are you really going to do with us?"
"What a smart child," Tang Xiu said with a smile. “You are obviously much more mature than your friends. Anyway, it's okay to tell you now. So to say, I'll let you stay here for a while. After you stay here for a period of time, some homeless children will also be sent to this place later, and I will send you to Jingmen Island later. You'll all stay there for a few years, and I'll take you to my house if you show an outstanding performance. ”
“This is my home. My home in the true sense. Likewise, if you study hard, practice martial arts seriously, and then get my approval, I'll take you to my house, and it'll be your home too, "tang Xiu said.
"You're telling us that you want us to continue practicing martial arts? Are you a martial artist or something? "Ask the girl again.
"I . And I am also very strong, ” Tang Xiu said with a nod.
The girl turned her head and spoke with the other four whispering. Finally, he looked at Tang Xiu and asked, "There's the last question we have for you. Why did you adopt so many orphans and homeless people? They're like us! "
The smile on Tang Xiu's face turned thicker as he replied, "Although you're still young, I have a few words that I'm sure you'll understand. The more people you have, the stronger you become. If many orphans and street children gather, learn and practice martial arts together; in the future, when you all have grown up, and in that case there are people who dare to bully our family members, he said, there will be many people who will fight with us against those bullies. So now, are you satisfied with my explanation? "
"Yes!" The tallest girl nodded and replied in seriousness after the five children whispered to each other.
"All right then . Say your name, "said Tang Xiu smiling.
“My name is Little Yi. They were Little Lan and Little Qing. As for them, they were called Little Yi and Little Er, ” said the tallest girl.
"Did you not have a family name?" Tang Xiu asked curiously.
"No, Grandpa didn't tell us what our surname was," the girl said with an honest expression.
Tang Xiu was silent for a while, before slowly saying, "Then you will have Tang as your surname later! As for your own name, I think I should change your name as well, and I'll give it to you right now! "
"Then, what name will we have?" Ask the girl.
"I will give you names according to the five elements; metal (Jin), wood (Mu), water (Shui), fire (Huo), and earth (Tu). You will be called Tang Xiaojin. As for them, they were each: Tang Xiaomu, Tang Xiaoshui, Tang Xiaohuo, and Tang Xiaotu. How dothat sound? "
The five children got together and talked to each other again for a while, and finally decided to accept their new names. Smiles finally appeared on their faces.
A few minutes later, Banshou left and left. Tang Xiu then brought Tang Xiaojin's group of five to tour the villa while telling them the things they needed to know. Finally, after they returned to the hall on the first floor, he said, “You will remain on the first floor. Xiaojin would have a room to himself, whereas Xiaomu, Xiaoshui, Xiaohuo, and Xiaotu would stay in one room together. Tomorrow I will invite you to buy clothes, shoes, and some simple basic textbooks. I will also hire teachers to teach reading and writing. As for your food, you don't have to worry about it. I'll also hire a housekeeper to take care of your daily life. Also…"
Ring, ring, ring…
Tang Xiu's phone rang and cut his words following.
Taking out her phone, Tang Xiu saw on the screen that the caller was unexpectedly Li Laoshan. He immediately pressed the answer button and smilingly said, "Hey, Big Brother Li, why do you remember calling me?"
"Brother, I just arrived in Shanghai. Are you free now? ”Sincere laughter Li Laoshan came from mobile phone.
Hesitating for a moment, Tang Xiu then smilingly said, "It will be fine if next time, Big Brother Li. But I have a small problem to deal with at the moment, and I'm afraid I can't get out now. What if you come to my place? ”
"I'm coming to your place now?" Li Laoshan asked, surprised. "Aren't I going to bother your family members coming this late?"
"Of course not!" Tang Xiu laughed.
"Well fine then! Tell me your address and I will come there now, ” Li Laoshan said with a smile. “However, do you want me to bring some dishes, wine, or something? I had just arrived in Shanghai and settled into a hotel, so I was a bit starving here. ”
"No need, thank you," Tang Xiu laughed. "It's okay if you just come here. ”
After hanging up the phone, Tang Xiu texted his address to Li Laoshan. Then, he looked at the five children and said, “You don't have to worry about your daily life later, and I only have one request for you. ”
"What request is that?" Tang Xiaojin asked curiously.
"Accomplish all my orders," Tang Xiu said. "If I tell you to go east, you can't go west. If I command you to stand, then you must sit. In short, my orders are above all else, understand? ”
"understand!" The five children, Jin, Mu, Shui, Huo, and Tu, nodded repeatedly.
Obedience! That's their strong point. It is the education that is taught to them after being adopted by their Grandfather, who must pay attention to what the parents say.
