Chapter Ninety-Seven: Human Affairs
Running away from home can be difficult, especially for children.
This must be clear to most people, after all, most people basically had this idea when they were young.
In fact, for children, in this era of underdeveloped information, it may be a bit serious to say that it is difficult to move an inch, but it really can't go far.
In his previous life, Li Ran had seen a data on the Internet, which was about how far an ordinary person could go every day.
Experiments have shown that an average person can walk 35 kilometers a day without any weight bearing and in good weather.
If this is true for adults, how far can two children go in a day? You must know that although Ding Man is a little older, about ten years old, he still carries a small oil bottle after all.
Moreover, the two children not only had to walk, but also had to find food and a place to rest. In this way, it is impossible for the two children to be too far away from home.
So, it's very likely that their home is actually in the vicinity, so you can determine the approximate range.
Aunt Zhao suddenly appeared before and chatted with her, Li Ran almost forgot that there were still two small troubles in his house.
It wasn't until Aunt Zhao was sent off that when he turned around, he suddenly remembered that he could actually ask Aunt Zhao if she knew the parents of the two children.
As an old resident who has lived in this alley for at least 40 years, she is still an aunt who likes to be short in her parents. If the scope is not large, then it should not be difficult to find the family of two children.
However, considering that the two of them have been away for a long time, this range may have to be enlarged a little bit. The scope has become larger, so even if Aunt Zhao lives for a long time, she may not know her.
However, at this moment, Li Ran has also taken care of so much, and can only use dead horses as live horse doctors. If he really can't do it, he can only send the two children to the police station in the end, and he can't take the two bear children back to his home.
Thinking of this, Li Ran hurriedly caught up with Aunt Zhao, who hadn't gone far, but was about to enter the door.
briefly explained to her what happened, omitting the process of discovering the child before. concisely said that he had "picked up" two children surnamed Ding, and asked if there were any people with the surname Ding nearby, after all, the surname "Ding" is not very common.
To Li Ran's disappointment, Aunt Zhao didn't know. However, she pointed out a "clear way" to him.
She told Li Ran that someone would definitely be able to help him in this matter. This person Li Ran is not a stranger, and he has looked for her before, it is Director Liu of the Street Office.
Well, I went around and around again, and I still have to find her in the end.
Saying goodbye to Aunt Zhao, Li Ran didn't think much about it, and went back to the yard directly, planning to take the two children to the street office to find someone.
I came out before twelve o'clock in the morning, and it was almost two o'clock by now. Nothing should be done, the time has dragged on for a long time, and now it is still stuck in such a "quagmire".
beckoned the two bear children to get into the car, and they were not restrained at all, which made Li Ran even more convinced that the two were not ordinary children.
In these years, whose child can get on the car so skillfully, and he is not curious at all when he gets in the car, it is obvious that he is usually used to sitting in a car.
In order to deal with this troublesome matter as soon as possible, Li Ran drove all the way to the street office.
Came to the door of the street office again, left the two children in the car, and he went in alone to find someone.
When she entered the courtyard of the street office again, the little girl surnamed Wang was still sitting at her desk and didn't know what she was busy writing.
Listening to the movement, she raised her head and looked over, saw Li then frowned, and said a little unhappily, "Why are you here again?" Didn't I tell you, the specific demolition will have to wait for the notice. ”
Wang Yan looked at the person in front of him and felt a little disgusted.
Originally, he was quite polite, but now it seems to be the same as the people he usually sees. Relying on the big relationship, he came to find someone if he had a little matter, and he had to be a leader, as if other people were lying to him.
Just joined the work, Wang Yan didn't understand and didn't want to hide her emotions. So Li Ran saw her dissatisfaction at a glance and knew that she was misunderstood by the little girl. can only quickly explain: "Don't think about it, I came to find Director Liu for other things this time." ”
"What are you looking for her?" The little girl asked suspiciously.
Li Ran: "I can't tell you about this matter, just tell me where Director Liu is." ”
"Humph!" Wang Yan snorted coldly, not believing Li Ran's words. However, he turned around and went into the back room and went to call someone. After a while, he came out of the back room office with Director Liu.
Seeing the main owner, Li Ran didn't be polite, stepped forward and called "Aunt Liu", and then said his intentions.
……
"This is the situation of the Ding family, I will give you the address, and you can send those two children back!" As she spoke, Li Ran could see that Aunt Liu had sadness on her face.
This time he didn't disappoint, and he asked about the family of Ding Man's two siblings very smoothly.
As Li Ran thought, the home of the two children is indeed not far from here, but it is not close, two kilometers away. However, the two children do not live in their own home, but in their aunt's house, and their parents are no longer there.
In fact, it is precisely because of the death of their parents that Aunt Liu can accurately tell the specific situation of the two children based on Li Ran's limited information.
After knowing the specific situation, although he still didn't know why the two children "ran away from home", he also had some guesses in his heart. At the same time, a previous question now has a reasonable explanation.
Although he had figured out the addresses of the two children, he did not have a trace of ease, only depression and sourness that slowly spread from the bottom of his heart.
And his mood is like a drop of ink, dripping into the colorless pure water, slowly, slowly, dyeing the water black.
The most regrettable thing in life is that I easily gave up what I shouldn't give up and stubbornly insisted on what I shouldn't have.
Li Ran didn't know whether the woman who ended her and her husband with gas was in heaven or hell at this time, but she must have regretted it very much when she saw the current situation of her two children.
I can't imagine how the two of them came over during this period of time after experiencing the death of both parents. If he hadn't heard it with his own ears, it would have been really hard for him to associate the orphan with these two lovely children.
But the truth is so cruel, God is so unfair.
Coming out of the courtyard of the street office and getting into the car, looking at the two children sitting quietly in the back seat in the rearview mirror, they are like two simple angels, so well-behaved that people are pitiful.
After being silent for ten minutes, Li Ran turned around and looked at the two siblings in a daze. Looking at two pairs of pure eyes without a trace of impurities, I wanted to say something, but found that my lips were dry and I couldn't speak at all.
Because he was afraid that he couldn't help crying, Li Ran turned his head and didn't look at them. Silently started the car and drove towards the address given to him by Aunt Liu.
Li Ran was also very uncomfortable and sad about the suffering of his two children, but he couldn't do anything after all.
The guardians of the two children are now their aunts, and they are blood relatives anyway, so Li Ran thinks that it is most appropriate for them to raise these two children. As for what he can do, all he can do is send the child back.
Thinking about the hundreds of yuan he still carried, Li Ran decided to leave the money to them, which should be more or less useful.
