Chapter 196: You're an Orphan?!
"Old man, I've finished reading both of your books, I've finally grown up now, right?!"
In the dark night sky, Meng Lin crawled to Pharmacist Li's bed, lay on Pharmacist Li's ear, and asked timidly.
In his sleep, after listening to Meng Lin's words in a vague way, Pharmacist Li unconsciously shook his head, and immediately poked his head out of the window, and found that it was only four days after the house outside, so he pushed Meng Lin with some dissatisfaction, and muttered in a low voice.
"You little fellow, you won't let people sleep! If you talk about it tomorrow, if you make any more noise, I'll turn you back into a gourd!"
After Pharmacist Li finished speaking, he immediately turned over and pouted his buttocks, and took advantage of the situation to knock Meng Lin off the bed.
Meng Lin has been more rational since he was a child, and he doesn't believe that he is a gourd at all, and the reason why he wants to read the book that Pharmacist Li gave him is just to prove that Pharmacist Li is lying to himself.
Rubbing his buttocks, Meng Lin slowly stood up from the floor, and then Meng Lin stood in front of Pharmacist Li's bed, thinking about it and being silent alone for a long time, before kneeling in front of Pharmacist Li's bed and kowtowing lightly three times.
By the moonlight, Meng Lin sneaked out of the door, following Pharmacist Li to the north and south in the past few years, compared to Chu Feng, who had been taking care of herbs at home, Meng Lin's mind was more precocious.
Meng Lin knew the direction to the town, and in order to find his parents, Meng Lin rushed to the town overnight, wanting to find clues about his mother through his own strength.
When Meng Lin came to the town, the sky was just dark, but the streets were already full of pedestrians one after another, Meng Lin finally chose a street with the most people, and then sat on the steps of the road, twitching his head and staring intently at the school in front of him!
Meng Lin didn't know how long he had been waiting, the bells of the bicycles suddenly rang, accompanied by the bells, he could hear different laughter, and then the number of people at the school gate increased, and every peer was accompanied by intimate companionship from their parents.
Seeing other people's fathers carrying their children to school, and other people's mothers squatting down to help their children tidy up the folds on their clothes, Meng Lin couldn't help but gradually leave tears.
"Classmate, why are you crying? What about your family?"
When Meng Lin heard someone beside him talking, he immediately rubbed his red eyes, then pretended to be indifferent, and continued to twitch his head and look at the school in front of him.
It's not that Meng Lin doesn't want to answer his question, but even Meng Lin himself doesn't know how to answer.
The person who accosted Meng Lin was a student from this school, and seeing that Meng Lin didn't pay attention to him, he immediately sat down next to Meng Lin, then stretched out his hand, looked at Meng Lin and continued to speak with a smile.
"Hello, my name is Ren Zuan, can I make friends with you?!"
When Meng Lin heard the word friend, he glanced at Ren Zu'an beside him with some trepidation, and when he found out that Ren Zu'an was the same age as himself, Meng Lin's heart began to beat faster immediately.
Except for Chu Feng, Meng Lin didn't have any other friends of the same age at all, and he could only follow Pharmacist Li every day and meet some strange people, so for Ren Zu'an's proposal, Meng Lin could only shake Ren Zu'an's hand at a loss.
"Why did you ask me to be your friend?"
After Meng Lin and Ren Zuan shook hands, they immediately asked curiously, Ren Zuan listened to Meng Lin's words, and then looked at Meng Lin with a smile and continued to speak.
"Because you're an orphan!"
After listening to Ren Zuan's words, Meng Lin was slightly stunned, and then immediately withdrew his hand, just as Meng Lin turned around and was about to leave here, he heard Ren Zuan smile and continued to speak.
"I'm an orphan like you, would you like to hear my story?"
After Ren Zu'an finished speaking, Meng Lin was slightly stunned again, and then Meng Lin sat back in his place, but he didn't continue to pay attention to Ren Zu'an.
Ren Zuan was not angry when he saw Meng Lin's attitude towards him, because he urgently needed to find someone to share his story with now.
Ren Zuan was born in a very happy family, originally a student of this school, his father worked outside the home, and his mother stayed at home to take care of Ren Zuan.
As a result, early one morning, when Ren Zuan's mother sent Ren Zuan to the school gate, Ren Zuan jumped off his mother's bicycle, walked to the school gate, turned to look at his mother across the road and waved.
But at this moment, which should have been Ren Zuan's happiest moment, a car directly knocked Ren Zuan's mother a few meters away because of drunk driving.
Ren Zuan's mother immediately fell unconscious on the spot, and the driver who caused the accident also fled the scene in panic.
Ren Zuan's mother went through a month of long-term rescue treatment, but finally passed away, and the high medical expenses made Ren Zuan's father work all day long, and finally passed away due to overwork!
Ren Zuan, whose parents both died, also became an orphan, and from that day on, Ren Zuan dropped out of school at home and never came to school again.
After listening to Ren Zu'an's experience, Meng Lin immediately fell silent, Meng Lin didn't know how to comfort Ren Zu'an beside him, but Ren Zu'an seemed to see through everything, and looked at Meng Lin with a smile again and continued to speak.
"I'm done with my story, can I hear your story too?"
Regarding Ren Zu'an's question, Meng Lin didn't know how to speak, because Meng Lin had never seen his parents, so Meng Lin pretended not to hear anything, diverted Ren Zu'an's question, looked at Ren Zu'an and continued to ask.
"I don't have a story, but how do you know I'm an orphan too?"
Ren Zuan didn't care about Meng Lin not answering his question, he just looked at Meng Lin and smiled and continued to speak.
"It's very simple, it's school day, but you're still sitting here indifferent, and judging by what you're wearing, you're not a rich kid, and when I came here, I found that you were looking at the parents of other classmates in tears, and your eyes were full of jealousy for their classmates!
A kid who can't afford to go to school comes to school early in the morning and looks at the parents of other students with jealousy, so I guess you're an orphan. ”
After listening to Ren Zu'an's explanation, Meng Lin had to nod in agreement, and then Meng Lin seemed to have thought of something, so he looked at Ren Zu'an again and continued to speak.
"So what are you going to do when you come here today?"
After listening to Meng Lin's words, Ren Zuan touched the steps thoughtfully, then lay on the ground, looked at the blue sky and continued to speak.
"My mother had an accident here, and I think at that time, my mother would have left me! When my mother was still alive, she would often tell me to keep your smile no matter what difficulties you encountered! By the way, you haven't told me yet, what is your name......?"
After Ren Zuan finished speaking, he didn't continue to speak, just closed his eyes and lay quietly on the ground, not moving at all.
When Pharmacist Li woke up and found that Meng Lin was no longer in the room, he immediately woke up Chu Feng and asked Chu Feng if he knew where Meng Lin was at the moment.
Chu Feng looked at the book that Pharmacist Li gave him last night, and immediately fell asleep directly, so he didn't pay attention to Meng Lin's actions.
Just when Pharmacist Li and Chu Feng were looking around to no avail, Meng Lin rushed back to the wooden house with Ren Zu'an on his back and sweating profusely.
"Old man, save him!
After listening to Meng Lin's words, Pharmacist Li hurriedly hugged Ren Zuan to his bed, and then after helping Ren Zuan check his body, Pharmacist Li immediately shook his head, closed his eyes and said with great regret.
"The poison in him is too deep!Meng Lin!What the hell is going on?!"
