Chapter 155 I Want to Escape From Prison with You

The days in the orphanage were very boring, even torture.

We had to get up at six o'clock every morning and go running according to the director's requirements.

He never tired of this meaningless behavior, and he even called it to improve our physical fitness.

During the running process, anyone whose steps were disordered or different from others would be picked out at the first time and taken to a small dark room by him after the running.

Not only that, if anyone did something he didn't like, or if he was just in a bad mood, he would punish people in this way.

Everyone lived in fear, but they had to force a smile under his coercion.

Even if someone didn't smile brightly enough, he would use it as an excuse to scold or severely punish them.

After that, we would eat some non-nutritious breakfast and then go into the "classroom" to study.

It was called learning, but in fact, it was to let us flip through some books full of words by ourselves.

But how could we understand these books without learning how to recognize words?

However, even if I couldn't understand, I had to pretend to hold the book and continue reading.

Once the director found out that someone didn't read the book properly, he would also be punished.

As he said, in the orphanage, he was a god!

Fortunately, Ke Liang helped me.

Since I entered the orphanage, he has taken good care of me.

His family died in the fire, and he survived by chance because he went out to buy things, and then he was sent to this orphanage.

According to him, I am very similar to his dead brother.

Ke Liang is very smart. Although he is only a few years older than me, his literacy is comparable to that of a teenager.

During the morning study time, the director will not stay in the classroom all the time.

And Ke Liang seems to have been observing and recording the frequency of the director's activities.

Every day, he would secretly teach me to read when the director was away.

With his help, I gradually understood these books and learned a lot of knowledge.

I also learned that Ke Liang's weird hairstyle is called cockscomb head, also known as Mohawk head.

For some reason, I began to think this hairstyle was pretty cool.

Every afternoon, we would be taken to the yard of the orphanage for free activities.

There were many amusement facilities here, and the short two hours were almost the happiest time of the day.

And every time at this time, the uncles and aunts from the neighborhood next door would pass by here and take pictures of us through the gap of the gate with a smile.

It seemed that the director was using this method to make others think that we were very happy and happy in the orphanage.

Time passed slowly, and slowly, I would find that the children in the orphanage would always disappear very suddenly.

But after a few days, new children would join, just like me at the beginning.

The director explained that they were adopted by someone.

Every time at this time, I would be very envious and longed to be adopted and escape from this hellish cage as soon as possible.

But Ke Liang's words brought me back to reality.

"They were not adopted, but sold."

We sat on the swing, his tone was very indifferent, but his face was as smiling as always.

After his explanation, I finally understood.

This so-called orphanage is actually a place where children are sold.

Dean Chu seems to have connections with a certain organization behind the scenes.

He will look for various orphans in Jiangcheng and even several nearby cities, and take them to the orphanage in various ways.

All the children who disappeared without reason were "shipped" when they were ten years old.

As for some troublemakers and those who angered the dean, they would also be "dealt with" in a special way.

I don't know why Ke Liang knows these things so well.

But his expression didn't seem to be lying, and I felt a deep sense of despair.

However, at this moment, he suddenly looked at me seriously and asked me a question.

"Qu Yi, do you want to escape with me?"

I was slightly stunned and looked around.

The entire orphanage was surrounded by a three-meter-high wall, like a cage, locking us tightly here.

The only iron gate was closed all year round, and there was a security guard sitting at the door.

I couldn't imagine how to escape from here.

Although I was extremely eager to escape from this hell, no matter what the cost.

But I hesitated again and again and did not answer him immediately.

I could not imagine how he could take me away from here.

That afternoon, government officials suddenly came to the orphanage for inspection.

Among these people, I saw the staff member who sent me here.

In just a few years, his position seemed to have been promoted, and the people around him were vaguely headed by him.

I showed him a pleading look, and he also noticed me.

I was sure he recognized me.

But for some reason, he deliberately looked away and never looked at me again.

We all gathered in the classroom, squeezed out the same hypocritical smile on our faces, and pretended to read books.

Those government officials took a camera and took pictures of our hypocritical appearance.

The director, who was always cold and domineering, seemed to have turned into an extremely kind person on this day, asking us about our well-being, and even lunch was much richer than before.

The photos taken during this meal should be the most realistic image of our day.

Seeing us wolfing down our food, every government official smiled with great satisfaction.

This inspection ended very "successfully".

Just as they were about to leave.

A child suddenly rushed out and hugged the leg of the government official who had sent me here.

He cried about what happened in the orphanage, but before he finished speaking, he was dragged away by the caregiver in the orphanage.

He was the director's loyal lackey, always doing some dirty work for the director, and often beating and scolding us.

The director came out and explained with a smile that the child had some mental problems.

I noticed that several government staff members obviously showed serious expressions and wanted to investigate further.

But their leader, the staff member who had sent me here, stopped them.

I don't know what made a once warm-hearted and righteous person become what he is now.

Maybe it was the envelope at that time, or maybe it was something else.

But what I know is that after the group of government officials left, I never saw the child who rushed out again.

This orphanage is a cage, occupied by demons, and it is difficult to escape from here in your lifetime.

That night, I found Ke Liang while washing up.

This time, my eyes were very determined, as if I was going to die, and I made a decision.

"I want to escape from prison with you and leave here."
