The other children noticed this sensitively. One of them, a petite 10-year-old girl, immediately said, "All uncles and aunts, he is Du Di'an. He has a problem with his brain. He likes to be in a daze and can't speak. Don't take it off.
Although she is young, the harsh living environment has made her learn extremely smart. This is very clever. It does not appear that she is jealous, but also points out Du Di'an's flaws, and sells it well.
"Yeah yeah!"
"Uncles and aunts don't know him in the same way."
The other children reacted with hindsight and hurriedly agreed.
Barton and several other children who lived in the same room as Du Di'an looked at the little girl who took the lead in surprise. They didn't seem to expect that she would speak out. At this moment, when they heard the words of other children of the healthy faction, they couldn't help but look ugly, but they didn't dare to. Speaking for Du Dian, for fear of leaving a bad impression on these adults.
Du Di glanced at the little girl lightly and was a little surprised. In his impression of the past three months, he remembered that this little girl was one of the few healthy children with a good personality. It is to the deformed children such as Patton, and he never speaks harshly, especially this little girl, who is very gentle to everyone. Even Patton and other deformed children mention her in private chat, and they are full of praise.
Du Di'an also has a good impression of her, remembering her name, it seems to be... Lisa?
At this time, when these adults heard Lisa's words, there was a sudden glimpse in their eyes. It was no wonder that a child with such clean skin and such a delicate appearance would be abandoned. For a time, many adults felt regretful.
Seeing the expressions of the adults, Lisa and the other able-bodied children were immediately relieved.
"All uncles and aunts."
In vain, without any warning, a young voice sounded from the crowd, and all the children and adults looked at it in surprise. Suddenly, all the children widened their eyes as if they had seen a ghost because it was Du Di'an who spoke!
During the three months of life in the orphanage, Du Di'an observed and listened carefully every day in silence, and learned a lot of simple terms. Moreover, the orphanage also had essential speech and pronunciation teaching, even if it was a dilapidated orphanage. A baby around the age of 2, although he did not join, he learned a lot from eavesdropping.

It's just that the people around him have long regarded him as a mute, and they usually communicate with him with gestures, and no one comes to chat with him, so he simply doesn't bother to speak, and is happy to be quiet.
"I don't have any problems with me." Du Di'an said calmly.
The immature voice gave people an unquestionable illusion.
The adults were a little surprised. The next moment, they seemed to understand something. One after another, they turned their eyes towards Lisa who had spoken earlier. When they saw the shocked face of the little girl, they couldn't help but be stunned slightly. Soon the adults discovered that other The child also looked surprised, only then did he know that the problem was not with the little girl, but with Du Di'an.
For a time, many adults frowned.
One of the sturdy, dark-skinned middle-aged men said with a sullen face: "Looking at their expressions, they don't seem to know that you can speak. Can you tell me why you are hiding them?"
The most taboo thing for adults is to adopt a child who is full of thoughts and has no sense of security.
Du Di'an knew he had stepped on a line in these people's hearts, but he was very calm and said, "I didn't hide it from them deliberately, but I was autistic and didn't like to talk. They regarded me as dumb, and I let them go. ."
Hearing his words, the coldness in the eyes of the adults gradually eased. Most orphans have autism, and they understand and understand.
"Even if you are autistic, you are so old in the orphanage, you can't have said a word, right?" A fat-faced woman in the crowd asked suspiciously.
Before Du Di'an could speak, Aunt Dai next to him said first: "That's it, this child loves cleanliness, we specially allocated him a separate room, so there is no chance to communicate with other children."
As soon as these words came out, Du Di'an, Barton, and the other children were all slightly startled. They didn't know why Aunt Dai lied. No child in the orphanage could enjoy a room alone.
Du Di's heart moved and immediately understood. In this regard, today's orphanages are similar to the orphanages of the old days. They will package the children in the courtyard to perfection and cover up the flaws to the smallest extent. If these adults are allowed to I know, that Du Dian has only been admitted to the hospital for three months. Even if his conditions are good, no one is willing to adopt him, because seven or eight-year-old children already have memories, and they must remember their biological parents. No one can guarantee him. , will he leave himself to find his parents again.

Knowing this, Du Di'an sank slightly, glanced at the other children, and saw those able-bodied children and Lisa, who seemed to be about to say something, at this moment, Du Di'an saw Aunt Dai's back to the adults. , glared at Lisa and the children who were about to speak, and their faces turned pale with fright.
In the orphanage, Aunt Dai has the power to kill all of them. As long as Aunt Dai speaks, they will never have the chance to be adopted.
As for why Aunt Dai helped him, Du Di'an certainly wouldn't narcissistically think he had any special personality charm, but the sooner he was adopted, the less food would be consumed in the orphanage.
"So it is." The fat-faced woman came to her senses, looked at Du Dian sympathetically, and said, "Child, I chose you, and you will be my child in the future."
As soon as these words came out, Barton and several other children who had a good relationship immediately looked at Du Dian enviously and were happy for him.
Du Di'an glanced at the fat-faced woman's clothes and palms, seeing that her fingers were rough, and at first glance, she was doing hard work, she couldn't help frowning slightly, and was about to say no, when suddenly another person smiled: "I see this child It's very pleasing to the eye, and I think, with my conditions, it is more suitable to be the parent of this child."
Everyone looked at him and saw a middle-aged man with a mediocre appearance, with a faint smile on his face.
The fat-faced woman's expression changed, and she said coldly, "I would like to hear, what kind of big man you are."
The middle-aged man smiled slightly and said, "I can't talk about a big man, I'm just a little gardener in Mel's family."
Hearing this, everyone was stunned. The children didn't react much, but the surrounding adults couldn't help but change their colors. Some of them whispered, "The Mel family? Is that the Mel family?"
"In addition to the Mel family, which Mel family can afford a gardener?"
For a time, everyone looked at the middle-aged man with a bit of awe.
The fat-faced woman's face turned pale, and she lowered her head and said nothing.
"How is it, child?" The middle-aged man was very satisfied with the other people's reactions and looked at Du Di'an with a smile.
Lisa and the other children, including the deformed children such as Barton, are smart, and they can see some clues at this moment. They look at Du Di'an with envy and jealousy. It's a bit big!
Du Di'an frowned slightly and was silent for a while before saying: "Sorry, uncle, I hope my parents are doctors, so I feel more secure."
This is a refusal.
The middle-aged man was a little stunned. He didn't seem to expect that Du Di'an would refuse. He went to many orphanages to find children with good eyesight. All of those children were excited when they heard that they could be adopted. There is no such thing as Du Di'an. Calm and methodical.
Soon, the middle-aged people came to their senses. Although everyone in the Meishan family knew nothing about this outer wall area, these children didn't even know what a "gardener" was. After all, the world they lived in was too far apart.
Of course, Du Di'an knows what a gardener is, and from the expressions of those adults, this "Mel's family" must also be a great behemoth, but even with a name.
He also doesn't want his parents to be slaves.
The mere gardener...proud of what?

The Perks of Immortality
This story will no longer be updated. After living decades and dying hundreds of times, Kegan has learned that he has finally passed some test that the cruel spirit had given him. Now, Kegan has the ability to gain “perks” that can make his life much easier. He is looking forward to finally having an easy life with the new perks he has earned. Rules to keep me honest for the perk system: Spoiler: Spoiler 1. The purpose of perks is to help the MC live longer and do new things each life. 2. The perks can be unlocked by getting hurt or killed. 3. The perks can be unlocked by putting in a lot of effort that isn’t easily duplicated in a new life. 4. Perks are generally beneficial enhancements to the MC’s body. 5. Perk costs can be lowered with more impressive achievements to unlock them. 6. Perk costs can be lowered by repeated death or injury from something the perk protects against. 7. Perk costs are increased for quality of life improvements that don’t benefit survival. I want to avoid one of the pitfalls I see for other LitRPG stories where the game elements barely relate to the story, or offer very little information. If people are skipping over and not reading the perks then I'm doing things wrong. So I promise to try and make the perks interesting, sometimes humorous, informative, and relevant to the story.Cover art by http://dertypaws.com/
