Chapter 4 No Trace to be Found
Shanghai: One of the most prosperous cities in China. China's economic, industrial, financial, trade, transportation, science and technology, exhibition and aviation center. It is located at the mouth of the Yangtze River, across the East China Sea and Kyushu Island in R country, bordering Hangzhou Bay in the south, and connecting with Zhejiang and Jiangsu provinces in the west and north. It is known as the "Paris of the East", the "Pearl of the Orient" or the "Magic City".
The weather in April is just right, no scorching and no cold, and when the sun shines all over the city, a new day begins!
Duan Tianyu walked out of the airport and looked up at the sky, the morning sun reflected on his face, becoming more and more peaceful and quiet.
It's just early in the morning, but quite a few people are already working, and taxi drivers are some of them!
A taxi stopped next to Duan Tianyu, and the driver rolled down the glass and looked at Duan Tianyu and asked, "Does Mr. need a car?"
Duan Tianyu lowered his head and looked at the driver, opened the co-pilot's door and sat in.
The driver looked at Duan Tianyu and was slightly stunned, and only when he heard the sound of the car door closing, did he continue to ask, "Sir, where are you going?"
yes, where should he go? The city felt so familiar to him and so strange at the same time. He's been out of the city for 20 years, and 20 years can change a lot of things......
"Take me to the city center first!" Duan Tianyu said.
This year's warmth seems to have come a little later than usual, and even in mid-April, the morning is still a little cool!
The main purpose of his visit to Shanghai this time was to see her, he just knew that she lived in the city, and did not know her specific location in the city. It would have been easy to find her with his abilities, but he didn't.
The second is to cultivate, he has suffered from a strange disease since birth, to be precise, poisoning. Even if he had read all the medical books since he was a child, even if he cultivated the truth, even if his master didn't know how many years he had lived on the earth, he still couldn't do anything about this poison, and he didn't even know the name of this poison!
This toxin will attack without warning, the face will be pale, the lips and the tip of the tongue will be blue-black, sometimes it will feel like a burning fire, sometimes it will feel like falling into a thousand-year-old cold pool, sometimes it will feel the pain of thousands of ants gnawing at the internal organs, sometimes it will be the pain of the bones being crushed! When he first wanted to use his true qi to get rid of the toxin, not only did the pain not decrease, but he vomited blood, but fortunately, the master found out about his condition and stopped him in time, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable! When he was 12 years old, his hair became the color it is now: silvery-white! As he grew older, the number of poisoned hairs also increased, and the feeling of heart-destroying liver dissection and nine-fold intestinal breakage became stronger and stronger!
Suddenly, he sounded the camphor tree, the camphor tree with which he used to "be a companion" until he was 5 years old. Turning his head, he asked the driver, "Brother driver, do you know about Yuying Children's Welfare Institute?"
The driver thought about it for a few seconds, shook his head and said, "I only know about the Hucheng Children's Welfare Institute, and I really haven't heard of any Yuying Children's Welfare Institute." By the way, sir, how did you know about this Yuying Welfare Institute?"
"I grew up there, and I want to go and see it when I come back this time!" Duan Tianyu said slowly.
"How long have you been out of here?"
"It's been 20 years. ”
"You also know that the development is so fast now, not to mention that our Shanghai is still a bustling metropolis, almost changing with each passing day, the Yuying Children's Welfare Institute you said has either been demolished or moved to another place"
After the driver finished speaking, he looked at him, and when he saw his regretful eyes, he then said: "I don't know doesn't mean that others don't know, so let's call and ask a friend of mine, he is an old Hucheng man, who has been a taxi driver for more than 30 years." There was almost no place in Hucheng that he didn't know. What's more, he's a warm-hearted person!"
Duan Tianyu heard the driver's words, smiled, and said, "Then I'm sorry for you, big brother driver." ”
The driver waved his hand and said with a smile: "Little things, what's polite!"
Found a place to park and parked the car on the side of the road, and the driver started making phone calls
"Hey, Brother Han, where are you now? I pulled a gentleman here, he wants to inquire about something, so he wants to ask Brother Han for help! Well, okay, we'll wait for you in Yuda Mall." He hung up the phone and said to Duan Tianyu: "It just so happens that Brother Han is also working nearby, it should be there soon, let's wait for a while!"
After hearing this, Duan Tianyu thanked again: "Thank you!"
The driver shook his hand and smiled again!
About ten minutes later, a taxi pulled up in front of their car, and a middle-aged man about 50 years old stepped out of the car: his forehead was full of wrinkles, and his sideburns had a little gray hair, but his back was straight, and his eyes shimmered with a rustic light!
The driver explained the matter and left, Duan Tianyu wanted to pay for the car, but the driver said that he didn't want anything!
Since it was the morning rush hour, the taxi moved slowly.
In the car, the driver surnamed Han spoke first: "This gentleman, my surname is Han, my name is Han Minfu, you can call me Lao Han." ”
"My surname is Duan, my name is Tianyu, you can call me Tianyu, I'll still call you Uncle Han!"
"Hehe, then we're not hypocritical, I don't think you're a few years older than my daughter, I'll call you Tianyu!"
"Uncle Han, you're serious!
"Well, Tianyu, how old did you leave the Yuying Welfare Institute?"
"I lived there until I was 5 years old and then adopted, and this year I am 25 years old. ”
"The Yuying Welfare Institute you mentioned should have been in Pudong District, and I haven't been there often in recent years, so I don't know much about it, so let's go over there first, and if you can't find it, ask around, you can see it?"
"Okay, then it's going to trouble Uncle Han!"
Han Minfu smiled and waved his hand: "This kid, what's not troublesome." ”
The car stopped in front of a park, Duan Tianyu and Han Minfu got out of the car, Han Minfu said: "Well, this is it, let's go around separately first, pay attention to yourself, see if there is any place where there is still a mirror, by the way, find someone to ask, it is best to find some old people, whether you find it or not, meet here in an hour." ”
Duan Tianyu nodded.
Han Minfu muttered in a low voice as he turned to leave: "This kid is so weird, why don't you even have a mobile phone......"
Watching Han Minfu leave, Duan Tianyu smiled and turned around and walked towards the park.
It's the weekend, so there are a lot more people in the park than usual, mainly some parents are playing with their children.
Looking at the children's lively and lovely appearance and listening to the cheerful and cheerful laughter, Duan Tianyu's mood became more and more peaceful! He likes children, because children are the most real! Laughing is laughing, crying is crying. No pretentiousness, no disguise, no disguise!
"Uncle, why is your hair white?" Duan Tianyu lowered his head and saw a 4 or 5-year-old girl standing at his feet, tapping his legs with her delicate little hands.
Duan Tianyu squatted down and looked at the little girl: pink little face, clear eyes, pink hakama, combing two small braids, so cute!
"Because my uncle is sick, my hair is white!"
"Can I touch your hair, then?"
"Absolutely"!
"Uncle, when will your illness get better, will your hair turn black after you get better?"
Looking at those clear eyes, Duan Tianyu said, "I don't know when it will be fine." ”
The little girl blinked thoughtfully, leaned into Duan Tianyu's ear and whispered, "Uncle, your illness will be fine, but your hair is really good-looking!"
Duan Tianyu looked at the innocent little girl, and also laughed with the little girl, rubbing the little girl's little head with his hand.
An old woman walked over, looked at Duan Tianyu and said, "Young man, our Xiaomin didn't bother you, right?"
Duan Tianyu stood up and said with a smile: "How can it be, Xiao Min is so cute!Old man, I want to ask if you know that there is a place called Yuying Welfare Institute nearby?"
The old woman thought for a while and said, "Yuying Welfare Institute, I haven't heard of it. Well, it's not been long since my family moved here, do you see the people who play chess over there? Most of them have been living here, go ask them!"
Duan Tianyu followed the old man's gesture and looked at it, then bowed down and said to the old man, "Thank you, old man." Then he waved his hand at Xiao Min: "Xiao Min goodbye!"
"Goodbye, uncle. Xiao Min said sweetly.
Duan Tianyu walked to the place where the old woman used her finger and saw 4 or 5 old people playing chess, he knew a little bit about chess, and looked at the situation on the chessboard, this game of chess quickly decided the winner and loser, so he didn't speak, and stood aside to watch.
Sure enough, in less than 3 minutes, this game of chess was over, Duan Tianyu walked to the chessboard and bowed down and said, "Hello, old masters." ”
Several old men looked at him at the same time, and one of the old men sitting on the stone pier said, "Why, young man, you also like chess, and you want to come and play a game?"
Duan Tianyu heard the old man's words, squatted down, and replied, "That's right, grandpa, I just came to Shanghai and wanted to find a children's welfare home called Yuying, I have lived in Yuying Welfare Home since I was born, and I was adopted when I was 5 years old, and I want to see where I used to live when I come back this time." Some people know that the welfare home is near here, but they don't know the specific location, so I bother a few old grandfathers to inquire!"
The old man nodded and said, "I have some impression of the welfare home you said, it was originally on the street opposite this park, but it was gone more than ten years ago, I don't know if it moved away or it has been closed, I heard that the welfare home is private, and now it is a restaurant called "Haoweiju", you can go there and ask!"
After hearing this, Duan Tianyu stood up and bowed again: "Thank you, old grandfathers, for disturbing you!"
The old man sitting on another stone pier spoke: "There are not many polite young people like you now, child, I hope you can find the welfare home!"
Duan Tianyu thanked again and turned to leave.
As soon as he walked out of the park, he saw Han Minfu waving to him, walked over and exchanged information with each other, basically the same, at this time Han Minfu's mobile phone rang, and after answering the phone, he said to Duan Tianyu: "Tianyu, I'm really sorry, I have something ...... about"
As soon as Han Minfu said half of his words, Duan Tianyu spoke: "Uncle Han, don't say that, I've been delaying you for so long, and you've helped me a lot, I don't know how to thank you, if you have something to do, hurry up, don't delay!"
After listening to Duan Tianyu's words, Han Minfu walked to the taxi, took out a business card from the car and said to you Duan Tianyu: "You said that you don't have a mobile phone, you are not familiar with life here, this is my business card, if there is anything to call me, although I can't help it, but some small things are still fine! I will ask my brothers to help you inquire about it at night!" After speaking, without waiting for Duan Tianyu to say anything, he walked to the car and left......
Although Han Minfu answered the phone in a loud voice just now, Duan Tianyu knew the content of the call, bowed deeply, raised his head and looked at the shadow of the car that was gradually moving away, this car shadow represented ordinary kindness!
