The staff hesitated.
At this time, other tourists also said: “Please take us to see! Those children may welcome us! We also
want to help them, and they will definitely not hate us.”
The staff: “Okay! I’ll show you guys.”
The staff took them to a building at the back of the temple.
As they approached, they could hear the voice of the little girl playing.
“Some of the school-age children went to the school at the foot of the mountain. Those who stay in the
temple now are all children who are not fit for school or children who have not yet reached school age.”
The master walked in front and introduced to everyone.
“School children, do you go up and down the mountain by yourself every day?” Avery asked.
“Yes. We take turns to pick them up every day. But they also need to climb the mountain by
themselves. It is harder for them to go to school than the children down the mountain. Like in winter,
they have to get up and go down the mountain before dawn.” The master explained.
Avery just climbed up the mountain and felt a little tired. It was hard to imagine that such a small child
had to climb up and down every day.
Avery: “Why don’t the children who can go to school normally go to the local welfare home?”
“The welfare home cannot accept so many children at one time. Besides, the children are used to
staying in the temple and are unwilling to leave here.” The master explained, “There were pilgrims who
wanted to adopt our children before, but the children didn’t want to, and we wouldn’t force it.”
Avery was very moved: “It must be because the masters are very kind to the children, so the children
are reluctant to leave. Here.”
Chatting and chatting, they came to the area where the children lived and played.
There were about a dozen children, under the care of a staff member, some played games, some
played by themselves with small toys, and some children lied on the ground and watched the little ants
in the cracks of the bricks.
The children saw that the tourists who came together immediately walked up to a little girl.
“You are Lilly, right? Lilly, you are so cute! And you’re so brave! Auntie brought you a toy…” Avery
looked at Lilly and was shocked.
This child had white hair and fair skin…
“Master, does Lilly have albinism?” Avery immediately asked.
“Yes. Her disease cannot be cured. Before, pilgrims came to take pictures of Lilly and posted them on
the Internet, so people often came to see her.” Master explained, “She is four years old and should
have gone to school. But we don’t worry about her going down the mountain to go to school, and she
doesn’t want to go down the mountain. So we let her stay in the temple, and we usually teach her some
basic knowledge.”
Avery looked at that little girl like an angel and moved with compassion…
There was currently no effective treatment for albinism.
And the care of people with albinism was also very important. A little careless, the patient might have
problems.
“Master, can I take her down the mountain to the hospital? Even if she can’t be cured, I will try my best
to keep her in a healthy state. I will ask someone to take care of her and let her go to school for
education. Many people come to see her because of her illness, and I don’t think it’s a good thing.”
Avery wanted the child to have a better environment, and even wanted her to live a normal child’s life.
The Master was a little embarrassed: “There are many people who want to adopt her because of her
rare disease.”
“Master, I understand your concerns. I will talk to Lilly later, if she wants me to help her, I will take her
down the mountain. If she doesn’t want to, I will never force it.”
The Master: “In addition to Lilly, we have to agree to this matter. But you need to get Lilly’s consent
first! Lilly may not go with you.”
…
A cool breeze blows past, and leaves fall with the wind.
A little girl was lying outside the door, her bright, dark eyes staring at the picture in the room.
Inside was her good friend Lilly.
The unfamiliar Auntie beside Lilly didn’t know what she was talking to Lilly.
