Chapter 1478: Chicks 4 (Medium) Color

The streets were a bit lively in the early morning. On a muddy street, the traffic was not big, but it was congested. Even though most of the vehicles were equipped with the AI ​​system, pedestrians were walking around and completely ignoring traffic rules. In the past, there would be people from the Operations Department to guide the traffic, but now there are none.

"Damn it, get out of the way quickly."

A man stuck his head out of the car, and the people who were talking and laughing on the street in front of him immediately came over. Soon a fight started, and the street became more chaotic.

It was not until the fight between the two sides ended that the people from the Operations Department arrived late, but they seemed to know both parties. After mediation, they let both parties leave.

This is District 120, the most remote area located on the western and northern edge, which had become a slum two years ago.

There were many vendors selling things along the street. The whole place was too dirty and messy, and the things sold by the vendors were not of good quality. Some food did not look fresh and the price was very cheap, and there were many people bargaining along the street.

Most of the things sold here are liquid foods produced by small workshops, the lowest price is only 50 cents a can, and many liquid foods do not have any processing labels.

Most people here have a monthly income of less than 300 yuan, and many families are extremely poor. Except for the bustling streets close to District 119, it is basically difficult to see some technological products here. Most people use relatively old models with only buttons.

In this remote urban fringe area, you can see a lot of strange old products, even products from 20 years ago.

The current population in the area is nearly 100,000. Although most people want to leave this poor place, they finally come back. Although life is a bit harder, at least they can survive.

There are basically no gangs in this area. There are more gangs from outside. Every time they come here, they just come to check whether the industry in this area is normal, and most people with a little money will not patronize this area.

Poverty has become synonymous with District 120, but the people here have their own set of survival rules. Many people's citizen level has dropped to 1, but it is difficult to drop further, because most people are willing to pay the tax of 9 yuan a month.

At this time, a woman dressed brightly and beautifully appeared on the street. She looked very beautiful, and there were many men following her, including people from the Operations Department. The local 5th Section Officer was also introducing her.

"Ms. Selena, it is really great that you can come here."

The woman's name is Selena, and she is a popular actress nowadays. She came to the bottom this time because of a project of the agency, which required Selena to experience life in this area and do some charity activities. The place Selena was going to today was the most remote Ruqi Orphanage in District 120.

Selena only brought bodyguards, and the production team's car was blocked on the street in the distance. She had to go to the orphanage first, and then get familiar with it in advance, and then shoot later.

Selena smiled and nodded. She actually didn't want to participate in this kind of program, but in order to consolidate her popularity, this kind of thing that can earn attention is very worthwhile, so Selena agreed.

There was always a smell on the street that made Selena uncomfortable. This smell was a mixture of dust, garbage food and some unknown odors, which made Selena cover her nose with a handkerchief from time to time.

Several bodyguards were also nearby to clear the way for Selena. At this time, many people heard that it was a famous star, and followed as if to watch the fun. More and more people followed.

"What's the point of coming to such a place."

Selena muttered softly. She was a little shocked when she came here, because this place was too backward. She really couldn't imagine that this was in the Brilliant City.

Looking at many things along the street, Selena felt very uncomfortable. She seemed to want to complete this project as soon as possible and then go back to the upper level. She hadn't seen her boyfriend for several days.

In the distance was a low and dilapidated abandoned area that went up all the way. Selena couldn't believe her eyes. This place was the first time she had seen it in her life. This kind of dilapidated building was almost half a century ago. In Selena's impression, she had only seen it in some movies and TV series and works.

The media in the city rarely report on the situation at the bottom. Selina also knows why such reports rarely appear, because of the strict control of the Operations Department. However, when everything is presented in front of her, Selina still feels a little shocked.

"Just shoot the situation of the orphanage. For the extra things, I hope Ms. Selina will pay attention to you. After the shooting, you have to show it to me. The District Rights Office also means the same."

The officer leaned over and muttered something. Selina hummed and looked at the long stone path leading to an old fortress at the top. Selina stepped on it.

The bodyguards also walked on both sides. Selina looked at the dilapidated wooden houses on the street, and saw many names on them, as well as some long-withered yellow notes with some important information recorded on them.

Gradually getting closer, Selena saw a bridge that seemed to have been repaired on the moat. She walked over with some fear. The gate had been broken for a long time. Inside, you could see many children of all sizes lined up in a row, as well as the director of the orphanage, Lu Qi.

Selena walked over carefully with the help of her bodyguard. She didn't dare to look under the moat.

Accompanied by bursts of laughter, children raised pieces of paper one by one, which read "Welcome to Selena". Lu Qi walked over. He was wearing an old and somewhat white suit, while most of the children in the orphanage were wearing some old clothes from the past. They looked colorful and very strange. Many children's clothes didn't fit them well.

Selena smiled and raised her hand. She shook hands with Lu Qi first, and then greeted the children. She noticed the eyes of these children, looking at her with envy, and there was also surprise in them. Many children gathered around. Selena smiled and squatted in front of some younger children. At this time, the filming team behind had caught up and started filming.

Selena immediately began to take it seriously and answered some of the children's questions. At this time, Selena also noticed that there were two older children standing not far away, a tall and thin boy and a girl who looked pale and thin. The two did not come over, but just looked at them with surprise.

Selena continued to deal with the children, and then immediately spoke.

"I sent some things to everyone today."

The two bodyguards immediately moved the big box behind and placed it in front of the children. There were clothes and toys, including some food. Many children looked at it with joy.

"That's great, stars."

Yin Cai muttered, and Allen next to her said with a smile.

"They are just here to do the show, and they don't care about our lives at all."

Yin Cai looked at Allen on the side, and she said with some dissatisfaction.

"Why are you always like this? At least she can send something. I think she is really beautiful and gentle."

Allen snorted coldly, turned his head, turned around and walked away.

"Where are you going, Allen?"

Allen shook his head.

"I'll go upstairs to sleep."

Alan said as he walked away nonchalantly. He had had enough of this place and had wanted to leave a long time ago, but he didn't leave. Behind him was Yin Cai, who was younger than him. Alan hated her because she was always so naive.

"Alan, come and get your gift."

Yin Cai shouted. Alan had already walked into the house. Lu Qi was still watching quietly. Yin Cai squeezed over happily. Just as she was about to pick up a delicate little toy, she was pushed away by several children. They scrambled for the toys. The scene was a bit chaotic. Yin Cai directly pulled several noisy children over and hit them a few times. Several children immediately argued with Yin Cai.

Selena saw that this older child would hit the younger child. She spoke angrily.

"Little friend, you can't bully children younger than you."

As soon as Selena spoke, Yincai became a little embarrassed. Several children younger than her were still kicking and hitting Yincai. This kind of thing is quite common here. Some young children are disobedient, and Yincai will teach them a lesson, but she didn't bully them at all. Yincai looked at them in a daze. Lu Qi noticed it and wanted to explain, but Selena spoke seriously at this time.

Yincai was like a child who made a mistake. She could only lower her head and be scolded. The filming team behind was also filming seriously. After a while, Yincai walked to the side. She supported her chin with her hand and looked at the children who had already divided the toys. The music box that Yincai wanted most was taken away by a child. She felt a little depressed.

After a while, the children happily took Selena upstairs to visit where they lived. Lu Qi found an opportunity and walked to Yincai's side and patted her on the shoulder.

"She just doesn't know, she doesn't mean any harm, there's still a little left, you and Allen take it later, you are the oldest children here."

Yincai lowered her head a little frustrated, she didn't know what to say, every time Lu Qi would say this, Yincai never refuted once, because she always gave in to these children, but when she saw something she liked, Yincai also wanted to get it.

Lu Qi looked at Yincai and smiled helplessly. Now the pressure on the orphanage is a little less. Some middle- and upper-class people who are willing to adopt children have come here, and more than 30 children have been adopted.

Lu Qi also hopes that someone can adopt Yincai, but unfortunately no one is willing to adopt her. She has been sallow and thin since she was very young because of bad yin and yang. She doesn't look pretty.

Every time the dean recommends Yincai first, but no one likes her.

Yincai looked at the things left in the toy box, and some food, all of which were things she hated, and no child would like them. Yincai felt a little frustrated, she wanted to go back to the room, but now those children were making a fuss upstairs.

"Maybe what Allen said is right."

"It's okay, Yincai, when you grow up and have more strength, you can go out to work and support yourself."

Yincai hummed.

"By the way, I'll accompany you to Section 5 in a few days to register your information."

Yincai shook her head. She had always been averse to such information registration, because she always heard some people say that registration would give you a citizen level, and once it fell to 0, you would be expelled, so Yincai was a little scared.

In the last vote, most of the children in the orphanage were not registered because most of the children did not have any birth certificates, and the administrative department also needed these things at the time. There were only some children whose parents died or went to jail. There is such proof.

In the end, the administrative department did not come to investigate these things, because Lu Qi knew very well that they had no time to deal with such things.

"my mom.........."

Yincai muttered something, but Lu Qi didn't hear it. She walked to the gate and looked hopefully at the downward stone path. She rubbed the pendant around her neck with one hand. The plastic pendant had been worn. It's almost impossible to see the broken electronic components inside that can light up and sing, but the sound is still worn.

Because the director had told Yincai that this was hung around her neck when she was placed at the door of the orphanage. Yincai was looking forward to the day when her parents would walk through this long, worn-out stone path. Pick yourself up.

Yincai has talked about this matter with some children around her more than once, but everyone just said that it is impossible, because the children here don’t know what their parents are. From the beginning of understanding things, only those in the orphanage Dean.

Yincai once took this pendant to ask some people, because Yincai felt that if she found the person who made the pendant, she might be able to find her parents.

But in the end, Yincai learned that this kind of gadget had been popular for a while, and many people had bought it, and the price was not cheap, costing 5 yuan.

Five yuan is already an astronomical figure for Yincai. She feels that if her parents buy her such expensive things, they must have to put her here for some reason, so Yincai is looking forward to the day when her parents will buy her such expensive things. Come and pick yourself up.

Thinking of this, Yincai laughed and hummed a tune that she didn't know the name of but was very familiar with. Yincai's eyes were full of hope.

"Maybe they are looking for me everywhere now."

Yincai smiled. At 12 o'clock, the children were waiting impatiently for food on the side of the yard. The star Selena also put on an apron. She will make some pancakes for the children today. Eat, this is the only thing she can cook well and taste good.

At this time, the filming was over. Selena saw the child she had scolded just now, still standing at the gate. She always felt something was wrong, because Selena had also heard from some children just now that this child took good care of everyone. , many children were brought up by this sallow and thin child. On weekdays, when the dean is away, Yincai will be responsible for taking care of their food and daily life.

Moreover, the child who had just been beaten by Yincai also said that Yincai would often teach everyone a lesson, and he would teach anyone who was disobedient.

Selena quickly prepared the food, and the children all sat on the table and chairs. She took a plate, picked up some thin ice, put some sauce vegetables and meat on it, and walked over.

"You must be hungry."

Yincai looked at Selina in front of her with some surprise, swallowed a mouthful, looked at the fragrant bet cake, she took it carefully and started eating.

"It's so delicious. Sister, the food you made is so delicious."

Selina smiled and nodded, looking at the sallow and skinny child, not feeling anything because of her self-righteous remarks just now.

"What do you want to do in the future?"

Yin Cai licked the sauce on her lips and said without thinking.

“Go somewhere where you can make money to support yourself.”

Selina looked at Yincai helplessly. She always felt that this child was pretty good and always had a smile on his face. Compared with other children here, this child was very optimistic and did not feel any discomfort due to the environment here. A little bit of sadness.

Selena looked at the child who had finished eating quickly, and ran over with a smile. Like the manager of the orphanage, she was yelling at some children not to compete for other people's food. Her hands were a little black. handkerchief to wipe and clean the oil on some children's bodies.

Everything looked so skillful to Selena. She looked at the child with some sympathy. She was very capable. Selena had also been to many orphanages. This was a long-term project, but she had never seen it before. Which child in an orphanage is as capable as this 10-year-old?

Soon the children finished eating, and Yincai chose a few older and more sensible children to pack up with him. Everything seemed to be in order.

Selena looked at Yincai with joy. She always felt that this child would have a great future, because Selena had also seen such people, always doing something silently, without any trace of... It is very rare to complain. Selena has seen many people. Many of those who always complain about this and that at work will not achieve much.

After a while, Yincai finished her work and ran to Selina's side. Selena was still discussing something with the director. Yincai looked at the novelty and looked at it carefully, especially the equipment she had never seen before.

After Selina finished the discussion, she saw a curious Yin Cai, and she brought Yin Cai to the work shed that was set up.

"Sister, can I listen to some music?"

Selina was a little surprised.

"Do you like music very much?"

Yincai hummed, and Selena turned on her light and shadow phone and gave Yincai a pair of headphones. Yincai randomly clicked on some music and listened happily. She looked extremely happy.

After a while, Yincai returned the phone and earphones to Selena with satisfaction. Selina looked at Yincai with interest and said.

"Do you want me to sponsor you to go to school?"

Yincai looked at Selena with some joy, but soon she spoke.

"Sister, how about your qualifications here? Everyone wants to go to school."

Selena hesitated a little. She considered the children here more than herself, but Selena knew that this was a huge hole that she could never fill.

"I'm sorry Yincai, sister, I can only support you."

Yincai looked back at the orphanage behind her, and finally she smiled and shook her head.

"Thank you sister for letting me listen to the song."

Yincai turned around and ran away. She was very excited, but she didn't know why Yincai refused such a good thing. The good luck that finally came to her, Yincai refused.

Seeing Yincai returning to the children, Selina sighed and shook her head.

"If this child doesn't know how to fight for it, I'm afraid the future will be difficult."

Selena thought about herself. Although she came from a good background, in such a circle, it is very important to fight for opportunities. If you don't fight for them, the opportunities will not come. The same is true for this child. If she doesn't understand If you strive for it, hope will never come.

Although Selena still wants to continue talking to this child, she knows that this child will not agree, because she grew up here, and there are so many children here. If she leaves, many children may not have it. rely on.

By 4 o'clock in the afternoon, the filming was completed. Selena got up and left the orphanage, but she was still a little reluctant in her heart because she had observed Yincai all day long. She was very good in all aspects, whether it was work or work. In terms of personality, they are the best children of this age that Selena has ever seen.

"Are you really unwilling? Yincai!"

Yincai looked at Selina and asked hesitantly.

"Sister, can you give us a little more stuff? The stuff here is only enough for everyone to use for more than a month."

Selina asked after thinking for a while.

“You can only choose between funding learning opportunities and material assistance.”

"Thank you sister, please give us some supplies."

Selena looked at the 10-year-old child in astonishment. She didn't hesitate at all. Looking at the innocent smile on her face, Selena snorted.

"I'll send someone to deliver something in a few days."

Yincai cheered happily, and the other children also became happy. Looking at this child, Selina sighed again.

"Sister Selena, if I grow up in the future and you need my help in any way, please tell me."

Selina hummed, smiled and waved goodbye to the children. The little light in the ruins looked so dazzling to Selina. It was this light that was missing in the city, but what about Selina? She couldn't do it, because she couldn't solve such a problem by herself. When she was about to lose sight of the orphanage gate, Selena looked back again, and the sound seemed to be singing something happily.

"Hopefully everything will be fine in the future."
