The cell of the Wu County Police Department is damp and cold, even if the sun is just right outside, it is cold inside, even if the elite is locked up for a few days, it will be a little unbearable, let alone a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl.

It was indeed the girl who was imprisoned that Li Yao substituted for the stick that day.

The little girl was kept alone in one place, and the person who held her was still conscientious, and her room happened to be by the window, and a warm sun shone in it, and a blanket was given to keep out the cold at night.

The little girl was a little surprised when she saw Li Yao, her originally guarded eyes gradually relaxed, Li Yao brought her some food and drink, and the prison guard opened the door and said, "You can stay as long as you want, just say hello to me when you leave." ”

Li Yao nodded, she put the food in front of her, the little girl's eyes suddenly filled with tears, her little hands were a little dirty, she reached out to grab the food, suddenly hesitated, looked up at her, she really couldn't understand why this big sister helped her three times.

Li Yao took out a handkerchief and wiped her hands, and said, "Eat, these are all for you." ”

The little girl's tears were like a flood that had burst the embankment, and suddenly she couldn't help crying.

Li Yao couldn't help but feel that she was really like her previous self, as stubborn and forbearing, she wiped her tears for her, and she couldn't help but feel a little sour.

"What's your name?"

Orb

"Where's your mom and dad?"

Baozhu choked up and returned: "My father and mother are dead, I only have a younger brother, I thought I could get a salary to buy medicine for my brother, but I didn't expect them to be so fierce, not only beating people but also locking us up!" ”

She suddenly grabbed Li Yao's sleeve and cried: "Sister, you are a kind person, I don't want you to help me bring this food to my brother, he must be anxious if he can't see me go back, my brother is still sick, I really can't eat, you help me go and see if he is okay!" ”

Li Yao's heart seemed to be pricked by a needle, and she reassured: "Baozhu, don't worry, my sister will go to your house in a while, and by the way, take your brother to the doctor, and I will let the person who came with me just now rescue you." ”

When they came out of the prison, they went to her house again, which was a small dilapidated house, which was so windy on all sides that it could not even be called home, and they entered the house, and there was a musty and foul smell in the house, and on a small old bed lay a boy, thin and disheveled, with an earthy face, as if there was only breath out but not in, and his eyelashes trembled slightly, and his brow furrowed tightly, and he occasionally let out a low murmur, as if he was trapped by a nightmare, and at first glance he was not lightly ill. Li Yao took him out and put him in the car, the little boy snorted and barely opened his eyes, with a trace of fear in his dark eyes, wanting to struggle down.

Li Yao touched his forehead, it was very hot, she comforted him, "Don't be afraid, it was your sister Baozhu who asked me to take you to the hospital." ”

Hearing his sister's name, he closed his eyes and fell asleep again.

The doctor took his temperature and hung him with water, "This child is severely malnourished and suffering from wind and cold, so the high fever will not go away, and if it is delayed for a while, it will be difficult to deal with the deterioration of the condition." ”

As soon as she finished hanging a bottle of water, Miss Huilan came, along with her younger brother Hu Muran and Baozhu, and said to Hu Muran that it was easy to let a little girl out, but he couldn't help other people who were imprisoned like Baozhu.

Baozhu was grateful to give them a few kneels, and Li Yao hurriedly helped her up and took her to see her younger brother. The younger brother's head was finally sobered up, and when he saw his sister, he was very happy, and the two brothers hugged each other and cried on the hospital bed.

"You have done your best to help them, and you have paid them the medical expenses, let's go." Hu Huilan said.

Li Yao nodded: "Thanks to you, I don't know how to thank you yet!" ”

Hui Lan smiled and shook her head: "It's just a gesture." ”

Li Yao suddenly thought of Hu Muran's merits, although they had a holiday, but a thank you always had to be said, just wanted to look for him, but he didn't know when he had left.

As she walked, she remembered the dilapidated house of her sister and brother, and thought that she would have to call someone to repair it when she turned around, but she always felt that she was still not at ease, so she said: "Why don't you go first, I will stay and accompany them, the two children have no father and no mother, blame the pitiful." ”

Hu Huilan saw through her thoughts and asked, "Are you thinking, sooner or later, they will have to go back to live a life of eating and sleeping in the open, how can you help them?" ”

Li Yao nodded: "I think tomorrow, I will find someone to repair their house, rebuild the leaky wall, and buy some clothes for the sisters and brothers." ”

Hu Huilan said: "Although you are kind-hearted, you also have to know that you can only help for a while, not for a lifetime, and you have to rely on themselves in the future." ”

Li Yao felt that Hu Huilan was a very wise woman, she knew how to make trade-offs and know how to be proportionate, so she nodded and replied: "Well, I know." ”

Hu Huilan walked out with peace of mind, and met Lin Zichen at the door, he was leaning against the wall and smoking, and when he saw her coming out, he put out the cigarette and looked at her, as if he could never get enough of it.

Hu Huilan was puzzled: "You have been waiting for me outside?" ”

Lin Zichen nodded: "I'll send you back." ”

Hu Huilan was stunned for a moment, and from his eyes, she noticed a trace of abnormality, but she only regarded it as her own illusion and smiled: "No need, I can go back alone." ”

He immediately said: "No, today's incident is thanks to you, besides, there has been a bit of chaos in the city recently, I don't worry, my driver is driving very steadily, you don't have to worry." ”

Hu Huilan hid her face and smiled, and said with great enthusiasm: "Okay, good, I can't talk about you." ”

The back seat of the car was a little crowded, the two of them sat together, arm to arm, Hu Huilan hadn't been so close to a strange man for a long time, so close that she seemed to be able to hear his breathing, and his breathing was a little rapid, as if he had something to say, but he looked out the window.

Hu Huilan didn't dare to think about anything else, Lin Zichen was a few years younger than her, and she wouldn't have any thoughts about herself, so she relaxed a little in her heart when she thought about it.

For more than 30 years, Lin Zichen has not married a wife and had children, and has been busy with his leg treatment and opening a school, he is afraid that his defects will become a burden to others, besides, what woman would be willing to marry a lame person.

In his mature heart, ordinary women have long been unable to make him moved, but he met Hu Huilan, and he felt like ten thousand years at a glance.

likes can't be hidden, but some likes are always unspoken, Lin Zichen thinks, will she like herself, they are two people who have no intersection.

The world in the car seemed to stand still, and the two of them had their own thoughts and could not speak.

After a long time, the car stopped steadily, Lin Zichen secretly blamed himself for his cowardice, and wanted to go out to open the door for her while crutches, and when he passed, Hu Huilan had already opened the car door by herself.

almost bumped into Lin Zichen, Lin Zichen behaved so embarrassed in front of a woman for the first time, a little overwhelmed, he had no experience in love.

He stood in the door of the car stupidly, Miss Whelan was a wise woman, she would not not know that he might really like herself, but she did not dare to think, she did not want to think, she had failed twice, and now that she was no longer young, how could she dare to ask for such beautiful things.

She said, "Thank you for sending me back, I'll go back first." ”

Lin Zichen reacted at this time, replied with the word "good", and watched her leave with her back, Lin Zichen was reluctant to give up, maybe in the future, they would never have a chance to meet, and they didn't have time to understand each other. Hu Huilan's son Qi Wensheng ran out and jumped in front of his mother like a happy little sparrow: "Mom, you're back, I haven't been to school for the past two days, I'm bored, you can play with me!" ”

Hu Huilan touched Wen Sheng, who was holding her leg, and her eyes were gentle: "Okay, play with you!" ”

Wen Sheng saw Lin Zichen behind her, and his round eyes were full of curiosity: "Who is that uncle?" ”

Hu Huilan realized that Lin Zichen hadn't left yet, standing there, looking at them and laughing.

"Friend who sent me home."

Although Qi Wensheng is not very old, five or six years old, he has a clever brain, and his mother usually never deals with other men, and suddenly an uncle who looks so handsome suddenly came out, and he smiled evilly: "Is it someone who likes mother?" ”

His voice was crisp, which made Hu Huilan and Lin Zichen stunned at the same time, Lin Zichen's face turned red, and the kid saw through his thoughts.

His mother immediately covered his little mouth and reproached, "Don't talk nonsense." He looked at Lin Zichen embarrassedly again, a little at a loss.

Lin Zichen wanted to tell her that what Wen Sheng said was right, he did like her, but he really didn't know how to speak, so he could only wave at them: "Then I'll go back first." ”

Qi Wensheng looked very enthusiastic, and immediately beckoned to him: "Uncle walk slowly, remember to come to the house often." ”

Hu Huilan sat in the courtyard, watching Wen Sheng spread his feet and scurry around, with a smile on her face, when she thought of Lin Zichen, her heart beat a little hard, that man was handsome, gentle and mature, although he had a bad leg, but it couldn't cover the brilliance on his body.

However, he is younger than himself after all, and he should find a girl who is younger than himself, has never been married, and has no children.

She couldn't help but think of the past, the first man she fell in love with, Li Bingxing, he was a full 10 years older than herself, but she didn't care, although that relationship ended without a problem, she never regretted falling in love with him.

The second man, Wensheng's father, a poor scholar, at that time she had already given up on herself, that man was very good to herself, but unfortunately he didn't love her, only their family's money and status.

People outside don't know that his death was due to an overdose of opium, which is a family ugly.

Wen Sheng didn't have a particularly deep impression of his father, he only knew that his father was always sick, he had a mother who loved him and an uncle who liked to tease him, his childhood was carefree and speechless, and even did whatever he wanted, but his greatest wish was that his mother could be happy, even if a strange man came to the family to be his father.
