Lin Yilan hugged her slightly heavy bag in the merciless bumps of the car, and the person next to her had already gotten out of the car, so she sat outside and waited.

A few minutes later, the car stopped at the entrance of the familiar alley, and she rushed into the rain with her bag.

The rain was heavy, and the alleys were paved with black carbon slag, which would be washed away and broken up every time it rained, mixing with the rainwater and flowing into the sewers.

Lin Yilan picked up a clean high place and walked steadily for a while, passing by the edge of the puddle, so she had to carefully step on the stones protruding from the water. After such a delay, his body was already drenched, and he continued to run forward with his bag trembling.

After turning three corners, Lin Yilan finally saw a two-meter-wide street, so she breathed a sigh of relief, she took care of the black carbon slag on her shoes at the puddle, slowly walked to a noodle restaurant and stopped, and slapped the rain on her body at the door. Only then did he walk into the noodle restaurant with his bag in his arms.

"Welcome."

The first thing to sound was not the enthusiastic greeting of the shopkeeper, but the sensor attached to the glass door mechanically announcing the female voice. Lin Yilan stood down and waited until the woman's face was full of smirks.

"Let's eat noodles! Sit down ......"

Lin Yilan watched the smirk on the woman's face gradually disappear, and retracted her half-truthful and half-false kind words, and instead glared at her angrily, and the big thorn came over.

"Hey, old Yang, let's see who's coming? The Big Buddha is back, so why don't you hurry up and entertain you! ”

The woman rolled her eyes and went to the back kitchen, and soon there was a lot of scolding, mixed with the sound of things falling to the ground.

A man rushed out of the box, and when he passed by Lin Yilan, he laughed, and Lin Yilan subconsciously took a step back with his bag in his arms. The man turned around and saw the woman chasing after her with a broom, clenching her pockets and running away like a ghost, leaving behind a smoky smell of smoke and alcohol.

"The things born of the son of a, so I died outside-"

Along with the scolding, a half-bald broom fell into a puddle in the middle of the road and was directly pressed by a passing motorcycle. The woman's scolding came out again, and the motorcycle didn't pay any attention to it, so she had to grin and go to the puddle to break the broom.

Lin Yilan stood still, reaching out and grabbing her when the woman passed by her, the woman was obviously in a period of irritability, and shook her arms to break free.

"What? See the joke? I'm not afraid, my son will be back on vacation soon, I'm not afraid of anyone! ”

"Hey! They all laugh at me! They all laugh at me! ”

"I'm not afraid! I'm not afraid of anyone! I have a son! ”

"I have a son......"

The woman shook her hands and chattered nervously, while finding two chopsticks on the nylon rope rack and began to wrap them.

"Mother."

The woman gave the knotted hand of the rope a beating, and with a hard tug of both hands, the knot was tied.

"Mother, father, he can't do this, we sent him to quit gambling, I will pay for Dongdong's tuition, and I will pay the money he owes......"

"Shut up—"

Before Lin Yilan finished speaking, her forehead was hit by a shiny thing flying overhead, she reached out and touched it, feeling a hot spot, and her eyes turned red.

The woman didn't seem to expect Lin Yilan to stand there still, and she was obviously panicked when she saw her face covered in blood. With a broom in his hand, he rushed over with toilet paper and pressed the wound on Lin Yilan's forehead.

Lin Yilan blocked the woman's panicked hand, pressed the wound with toilet paper, turned around and closed the door, and the bag that she had always held in her arms was placed on the polished and reflective table.

After a pause, she took the pen and paper out of her bag and said, "It's—I owe you." But I'm never going to give you money again. ”

The rustle of the pen on the paper is simply decided in the quiet room.

She quickly finished writing, signed her name without hesitation, and instead pushed the two sheets of paper in front of the woman. The woman was stunned, her expression was obviously dazed, she took the paper and looked at it, and almost tore it.

"500,000? If you can get 500,000, I will accept to cut ties with you! Otherwise, you don't want to be alone! ”

"Okay."

Lin Yilan pulled a cara chain, pulled out a pitch-black plastic bag from his bag, opened a small opening, revealing the pink coins inside, and pointed to the pen on the table.

The woman swallowed and signed, opened her arms and held the black plastic bag in her arms, quickly locked the door, hid behind the counter and began to count the money.

"The agreement to dissolve the adoption relationship is in duplicate, you and I have signed it, and legally you and I can't rely on it. If you are not at ease, we can also go to a lawyer for notarization. ”

"Don't worry! Feel relieved! Lanlan, you are the most reliable in doing things. The more the woman counted the money, the happier she became, and her wrinkles deepened with her smile.

"Can you hand over my household registration book now?"

The woman was so excited that she was about to fly with a little determination of the amount of money, and she clung to the plastic bag to open the door.

"Let's go, I'll go back and get it to you now. Look at you, isn't it just a household register? What's so nice about you alone? ”

Lin Yilan was zipping up a lot of bags, when her movements suddenly stopped, she hesitated, reached in and pulled out a jujube umbrella.

"Come out quickly, I have to save the money while the dead ghost is gone, oops, my son won't worry about going to school, going to school......"

Lin Yilan trembled and quickly closed the zipper. Before going out, she grabbed the obviously overexcited woman, and the force was so great that she almost came to seek revenge.

"You said that you must have used the money wisely! I got this money in exchange for the trust of others, and I am already sorry for him, you ...... Can't let him down! Otherwise......" Lin Yilan let go of her hand and smiled at the woman.

"I'll tell you about stealing."

The woman's face changed instantly, and she almost subconsciously wanted to reach out and hit Lin Yilan's face, but Lin Yilan dodged lightly and looked at her coldly. The woman's blue face clung to the plastic bag and walked away.

Outside the window, it was pouring rain down all day, and the air was irritatingly damp.

Xiang Hai turned on the table lamp, and the warm yellow light added some warmth to his expressionless face.

He placed the bag of papers he had received in the afternoon in the light and pulled out a stack of papers from it. He quickly read them in order, his eyes lingering on the photographs on each person's file for no more than three seconds.

There is an inner piece in the document bag, and the bag reads "Lin Yilan".

Xiang Hai's fingers rubbed over the file bag and opened it.

The wind was very strong, and the raindrops were swept by the wind and slapped on the flower seedlings that had just emerged a finger length looked very impactful, and the flower seedlings were beaten crookedly, and some of them fell directly to the ground and surrendered, and they didn't even keep the cool "hairstyle". There was the sound of someone coming downstairs quickly from inside the house, but unfortunately he couldn't understand the cries for help from the flower seedlings.

The refrigerator was vigorously opened, revealing that it was full of local food. The most conspicuous thing is the large and small bright crisper box.

Xiang Hai was visibly flustered, threw away the sliced bread he was used to holding in his hand, and carefully took out two boxes of fresh-keeping boxes. He calmed down his slightly flustered mind, and then slowly walked to the kitchen and turned on the microwave to heat the food.

Incoming calls from mobile phones –

His eyes were glued to the mutton soup slowly turning in the microwave, and he listened to the report of the person on the other side of the phone, and only said:

"Just these two days? Good. ”

He hung up the phone and began to heat up the second dish.

——————

Lin Yilan looked at the dilapidated tube building, and she stood downstairs waiting for the woman to come down. Recently, several people passed by her and threw strange glances at her, and one was her high school classmate, who came over to talk a few words and said goodbye.

Waiting left and right, 20 minutes have passed, and there is still no trace of the woman.

Lin Yilan held her bag and walked into the familiar narrow corridor.

The staircase had been completely taken over by the rain, glowing with a wet glow. The walls have long been smeared with various smudges and small advertisements, and the hallways are filled with various smells and smells.

Lin Yilan circled three times in the corridor and went up to the third floor.

The first one on the right hand side had already opened the door, Lin Yilan gently opened the door, narrowly dodging a pillow that flew out of it, and lay at her feet in the dark.

She looked inside, and the woman was tearing up with her man, and the room was a mess that had been turned over badly.

The two of them, who were fighting and scolding, noticed that someone was approaching, and their movements stopped. As soon as the woman saw the visitor, she exclaimed:

"Hurry up and hold him down, he's snatched the money!"

The man kicked the woman away, ignoring the stains on his body and rushing out, Lin Yilan turned around and closed the door, and put the bag in front of him to block the person in an attempt to stop him.

Na Cheng thought that as soon as this person saw that the road ahead was blocked, he was vicious, picked up the broken wooden stool and fell over. How dare Lin Yilan stop him? Holding the top of his head and hiding to the side, the man opened the door and ran.

The room was quiet, Lin Yilan looked at the woman lying on her stomach under the sofa and didn't move, walked over and put the person on the sofa to sit, and looked around for the worn-out blue kettle that she looked at behind the sofa. She picked it up and went to the kitchen to fill it with water and boil it in an electric kettle.

During this period, the woman didn't say a word, her eyes were dull and she sat on the sofa, until Lin Yilan handed her the hot water in the cup, she held the warm water cup as if she had just woken up from a dream, her eyes fell on Lin Yilan's face, her mouth grinned, and she suddenly started crying.

"Money-

The money for the children to go to school-

My life is gone—"

Lin Yilan covered the wound that had just broken with one hand, and gently patted the woman's back with the other. She didn't say anything, and she didn't know what to say, but her eyes fell on her bag, which contained a small red umbrella, which she didn't put herself.

She felt a little cold in her palms, and unconsciously reached out to touch the kettle, and finally felt warmer. She looked at the woman who kept crying and asked:

"Where's my household register?"

The woman's crying stopped abruptly, she looked up at her with teary eyes, and suddenly shook off Lin Yilan's hand and rushed towards the bag she put on the side, with madness in her eyes.

"Money - you must be rich! There must still be! There must still be ......."

Lin Yilan sat on the sofa and didn't move, letting the woman turn her bag upside down, and her clothes and daily necessities fell to the ground, and she didn't see a penny again.

"There's no money in the bag...... If you don't have any money in your bag, it's definitely on you! ”

The woman threw her bag and rushed towards Lin Yilan, who slapped her and knocked the crazy woman to the ground. The woman lay on the ground for a long time and didn't get up, so she began to scoop up things on the ground and throw them over.

Lin Yilan picked up his things from the ground one by one and stuffed them back into his bag, ignoring the pain caused by the beating on his head. The farthest thing that fell was the two bags of tea, and she picked up only one of them, rubbed the dirt off the outside of the sealed bag on her clothes, patted it and put it back in the bag.

She zipped up and went to the back room with her bag to find it, but found nothing.

Came to the woman sitting on the sofa, threw the bag heavily on the table, and asked patiently, "Hand over the things." ”
