第四百十五章 曾经死去的秘密（15）

“区别啊。。。”姜乔微微仰起头思考了下，继续说道：“其实也没什么很大的区别啊，很多病人吃了药，整个人迷迷怔怔的，跟没睡醒似的，而且他们的行为也没有很奇怪，就是自言自语啊之类的，不过有几个好蛮逗的。”
"How amusing is it?" asked Ah Moon with interest.
"There was a man in his 40s who I saw crawling with his limbs on the ground and he didn't respond when I talked to him. Later, I learned from a nurse that this man had a mental illness and imagined himself as a turtle, so he would study turtle movements every day," Jiang Qiao laughed.
"Huh? How strange, why do I feel like I'm a turtle?" Ah Moon wondered.
"Maybe he thinks that by feeling like a turtle, he can live for thousands of years like the old turtle. Hahaha~" Mao Daxin's voice came from the front driver's seat.
“还真的被你说对了，护士也是这么说的，好像是这个男人家里有遗传病，所以他每天都很焦虑怕自己会死，结果遗传病没有，倒是得了妄想症，唉，所以做人啊，还是想开点的好，该是什么命就是什么命。”姜乔叹了口气道。
The car suddenly fell into an eerie silence, with everyone preoccupied with their own thoughts. It remained that way until they arrived at the small county town where Qiming's orphanage was located, and the atmosphere livened up again.
This small county town is called Xiatan, famous for its endless stretch of mudflats and abundant seafood. Many people like to come here during holidays to appreciate the rare beauty of the sunset over the mudflats. The population of the town is not very large, mainly composed of elderly people and women, as well as some laborers who make a living from the sea by fishing. The purpose of their visit this time is the orphanage built by the provincial government as a welfare project.
"We're almost there. Let's eat something first. After driving for so long, we should take a break." Mao Daxin suggested. The four of them stopped the car and found a small restaurant by the roadside. It wasn't until they went in that Jiang Qiao realized that this county was famous for its seafood, especially the big and plump shrimp, clams, and crabs. Jiang Qiao happily ordered a table full of seafood, but when she turned around, she saw Mao Daxin and the others standing by the window, looking outside."
Seeing Jiang Qiao coming over, Mao Daxin pointed outside and said, "You see, the county town is surrounded by tidal flats, and there is only one mountain there. I checked the map and that mountain is Nan Tuo Mountain, and the orphanage is there. It has been built for more than thirty years."
Looking from their perspective, a gray building stood alone on the mountain. Jiang Qiao quietly looked to Jiang Li and asked, "Do you have any impressions?"
江离摇摇头：“我对这座城市一点印象都没有。”
毛大新故作轻松地笑道：“肯定的啊，这里的变化多大啊，你怎么可能会有印象啊。
```json[{"text":"\u003cli\u003e“Oh, you've been here before?” The owner, sitting on the side drinking tea, overhearing their conversation, chimed in with a smile, “This place used to be just a small fishing village. You could walk from one end of the village to the other in ten minutes, haha, I never imagined it would change like this.”\u003c/li\u003e"}]```
“老板你是本地人啊？”姜乔凑过去，坐在老板的茶座对面。
老板摇着自己的蒲扇笑道：“你看我黑成这样就知道我是地地道道的本地人拉，以前啊，我总跟我老爹出海捕鱼呢，现在不出海了，也白不回来咯，哈哈哈。”
As they listened to the boss's hearty laughter, Mao Daxin and Ah Moon joined them, leaving only Jiang Li staring at the mountain through the window lost in thought. Curiously, Mao Daxin inquired, "Boss, you're a local here, do you know anything about the orphanage on the mountain across from us?"
“你说的是幸福孤儿院啊？怎么可能不知道，开了好多年了，我小时候就有了，当时我还觉得奇怪，我小时候我们这多穷啊，竟然这里凯哥孤儿院，连个捐款的人都找不到，你说是不是傻。”老板喝了口茶，砸吧砸吧嘴继续说道：
"The orphanage was built quietly, which is strange because our village is small and any changes are quickly noticed. But this orphanage was built without us knowing until it was finished. Also, the location it was built in is strange, so far away. Even though it may not seem like it now, that mountain used to be outside of our village's boundaries, and nobody would ever go there."
"It's quite strange, isn't it?" Mao Daxin nodded in agreement.
The boss noticed their interest in the orphanage and asked, "Are you here for the orphanage?"
"Oh, right. We want to do a good deed and donate some money to an orphanage," Mao Daxin said sincerely. Jiang Qiao couldn't help rolling her eyes inwardly: "Boss, do you know where the children in that orphanage come from?"
"Who knows? They're probably orphans, rejected by cruel parents," said the boss.
"That's true!" nodded Mao Daxin.
"Customer, your food is ready," the server called out from the other side.
Mao Daxin and a few others could only thank their boss and return to their own table. However, they found that Jiang Li was still staring out the window in a daze. Mao Daxin stood up and pulled him back to the table, whispering, "Alright, stop looking. We'll go there after we finish eating and let you have a good look at it all at once."
姜乔看着江离怅然若失的表情，顿时对眼前的一桌子佳肴失了胃口，几个人食不知味地扒了几口饭，匆匆买了单，重新上路。
On the car, Jiang Qiao spoke up: "I've always been curious why the orphanage wasn't built on the outskirts of a big city, but in a small county like this. And today, the boss said that the orphanage was even far from this fishing village when it was established. What do you think the reason is?"
阿moon点点头：“对，我也觉得不合理，建得这么远，想要过来捐钱和这收养孩子岂不是很不方便嘛！”
"Perhaps this orphanage has some other purpose. I have seen cases where some people use orphanages for illegal activities such as trafficking children, smuggling, and drug trafficking," Mao Daxin chimed in while driving.
Sure, here's the translation while preserving the HTML tags:```html

“If such a thing really existed, wouldn't it have been discovered after all these years? And besides, if it did exist, when we asked Liu Qiong Bao about it, she should have revealed something, but from her tone, it seems like this orphanage is quite normal.”

```
"I suddenly have a hope that Qi Ming and Jiang Li have nothing to do with each other, and we won't be involved in any conspiracy anymore," Jiang Qiao suddenly said.
After she said this, everyone fell into silence. Seeing everyone's faces become a bit gloomy, Jiang Qiao felt a little embarrassed. She was about to speak to liven up the atmosphere when Mao Daxin shouted, "We're there, that's it up ahead."
