Chapter 371: First Encounter with the Twelve Blood Generals (4)
"Ah Yi, big brother! You’ve come back so early today!" A little girl of about five or six years old said with a giggle.
"Ah Yi, brother, let me take that for you!" A young man with glasses bent over and took the bag from Ah Yi’s hand, glancing at An Yiqing a few times unintentionally.
After dealing with a bunch of younger brothers and sisters, Ah Yi brought An Yiqing inside the house.
The main room had a long table with neatly stacked thirty-some plastic stools around it. On one side, an antique big-headed TV set was placed on the TV cabinet, and on the same wall, hung an old wall-mounted electric fan.
In this vast room, that was all the furniture there was.
"Miss, please have a seat. It’s a bit simple here, don’t mind it," Ah Yi said as he moved a clean plastic stool in front of An Yiqing.
An Yiqing, without a word, slowly sat down.
"Are these all the children at the orphanage?" An Yiqing, who had counted when she entered, keenly noticed there were only a dozen or so people.
"No. These are just some of the younger ones. The brothers and sisters over seventeen are either at school or out working. They haven’t come back at this time. Wait until around five o’clock, and it will get lively here," instructed Ah Yi, who asked Ah Si to boil a kettle of water and then had the boys sit down.
An Yiqing nodded, took a sip of the warm water in her hands without the slightest disdain.
"How many siblings do you have that are over eighteen?"
