Creating a Different World - Chapter 2612
[Chapter 2612: Fainted with Hunger]
Tatanil’s words made the orphans nearby look ashamed.
“Tatanil, it’s all my fault.” A little girl came over with tears in her eyes and sobbed.
“What happened?”
“No! Tatanil, it’s my fault!”
“No, it’s my fault!”
Several other orphans also came over with their heads down.
“Tell me clearly, what happened?” Tatanil frowned and asked.
“Tatanil,” the little girl replied crying, “because we were so hungry, so the dean has shared his food with us these days. It’s all our fault, otherwise the dean wouldn’t be in trouble.”
“You.” Hearing this, Tatanil was anxious and angry, but seeing the children crying, he couldn’t scold them.
After thinking about it, it was also because he was incompetent and couldn’t earn so much money to support everyone.
“Tataniel, hit us! We are the ones who harmed the dean.”
“Stop arguing! The most important thing now is to wake the dean up.” Tataniel sighed, “Stop crying, wait by the side.”
After finally calming the children down, Tataniel anxiously asked Jia Zhengjin: “Will the dean be okay? Nothing must happen to her!”
“She just fainted from hunger, just replenish some sugar.” Jia Zhengjin said calmly, “There’s nothing to worry about.”
After a while, Meili hurried back with the children: “I bought it! I bought a bag of candy, and the rest was replaced with bread!”
She brought everything to Jia Zhengjin and asked anxiously: “What should I do next?”
“Give me the candy!”
“Oh!”
Jia Zhengjin took the candy, poured it into the water bottle, and shook it evenly. Then he motioned Tataniel to help the old lady up a little, and carefully poured the sugar water into her mouth.
After swallowing the sugar water, he turned to Meili and said, “Help her to the room to rest. When she wakes up, soak the bread in water and feed her some. As for the remaining bread, distribute it to the children!”
“Is this okay?” Meili asked hesitantly.
“Okay, I’m not a philanthropist. Don’t wait for me to regret it!” Jia Zhengjin urged, “Hurry up.”
“Cohen, thank you so much!” Meili’s eyes were filled with gratitude.
She and Tatanil carried the dean back to the room and put him on the bed, sent a few children to watch over him, and then distributed the bread they bought.
The children immediately devoured it, and they all looked starving.
Including Meili and Tatanil, they squatted beside and stuffed the bread into their mouths.
If he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, Jia Zhengjin really couldn’t believe that the two female adventurers who looked glamorous outside were so hungry.
After a while, a child came to report that the dean had woken up.
Meili and Tatanil hurried over and took the bread and soaked it in water to feed the dean.
After waking up, the director looked much better, had some food in his stomach, and regained some strength.
When he learned from the two female adventurers that it was Jia Zhengjin who paid for the food, he hurriedly thanked him.
Jia Zhengjin stopped her and did not let her get up. Instead, he was a little curious: “Why is the orphanage in such a mess? There are so many children, but no other staff? In such a big orphanage, are there only three of you adults?”
Hearing this, Meili and Tatanil both looked sad.
The director sighed slightly and replied weakly, “The orphanage was originally fine, but in recent years, due to disasters and human factors, the number of children in need of rescue has suddenly increased several times, and the pressure has become very great. In fact, it was fine before, because the children who were raised before went out to adventure and make money, and there was no pressure. It was just that during an exploration mission, they encountered terrible enemies and never came back. We originally had dozens of adventurers to support them, and they had a good team. Who would have thought that it would be like this! There was no way. The staff of the orphanage went out to do hard labor to make money one after another, but they were completely unable to supply them. Because the pressure was too great, other people also fled one after another, unwilling to take on such responsibilities. The situation in the orphanage is getting worse day by day. Now only Meili and Tatanil are left to support everyone, but there are too many children, and the orphanage’s expenses are quite large. It’s really too difficult!” “It’s
even more troublesome now!” Meili smiled bitterly, “My teammates all died today. It will be especially dangerous to do missions in the future, and the income will definitely be reduced even more”
“What?!” The director heard this, and there was sadness in his eyes, “How could this happen? How can our orphanage survive? What about the children?”
Meili and Tatanil’s faces were full of depression.
Perhaps feeling that the atmosphere was rather heavy, in order to ease it, Meili said, “Dean, don’t worry! Tatanil and I will definitely find a way. Tomorrow we will follow Cohen to Wuzhu City and do the exploration mission there.”
“Yes, Dean!” Tatanil said immediately, “I will go to Wuzhu City on the way to investigate the market there. If possible, I will find some work reselling goods between the two cities, maybe I can make more money.” “
Hey~ Now the whole burden is on your shoulders, I really feel bad!” The dean tightly grasped Meili and Tatanil’s hands.
“Dean, don’t say that!” The two female adventurers said immediately, “We have been in the orphanage since we were young, and you have raised us with great difficulty. This is our home, and you are our mother. It is our duty to contribute to the family! Don’t worry, we will definitely work hard to make money and keep the orphanage going!”
The three of them hugged each other, and Jia Zhengjin couldn’t help yawning on the side: “It’s getting late, and I should go back to rest as soon as possible. We have to set off early tomorrow to explore Wuzhu City.”
“Thank you so much today!” the dean said hurriedly, “How much did you spend? We will find a way to make money to pay you back as soon as possible.”
“Forget it!” Jia Zhengjin waved his hand, “This little money is nothing to me, but it is not easy for you to make money in your situation. In fact, part of the money today is the spoils left by Meili’s dead companions. Since the two of them and I have formed a temporary team and will go on a mission together tomorrow, this money will be considered as my donation to the orphanage. You should rest quickly, and I will come early tomorrow morning.”
“I’ll see you off!” Meili got up quickly.
“Okay!” Jia Zhengjin nodded and said goodbye to the dean, turned around and walked out.
“Dean, then I’ll see him off first.” Meili turned around and said, and immediately followed Jia Zhengjin to the outside of the orphanage.
When they reached the road, Jia Zhengjin turned around and said, “Go back! No need to see him off.”
“Cohen, thank you so much for today!” Meili sighed softly, “Don’t worry, I will return this silver coin to you as soon as possible!”
“Okay, let’s talk about it later! Come over tomorrow morning, don’t waste time.”
“Okay!”
