By the small river behind the orphanage.
Song Lan waited for a whole day but the child didn't show up.
Waiting from early morning until dark.
Grandpa Song, who was hiding in the back, couldn't bear to watch this anymore. Feeling sorry for his grandson, he poked Song Bai's arm and said, "Go and bring him over. Will he become stupid if he keeps sitting like this?"
Song Bai also felt sorry for his brother. "He can't wait for that kid to leave. He has been stubborn since he was a child."
In fact, Song Lan was also very smart before, just like other children, mischievous.
He talks a lot, chattering all day long, making it so noisy that it hurts people's ears and eyes.
But my mother took me to my hometown to raise me for a few years...
When Song Bai thought of Song Lan's somewhat dull and wooden eyes when he saw him again, his heart spasmed and ached a few times, and he sighed.
Grandpa Song slapped his head and said, "Or else, go to the orphanage and ask where the child has gone, or... or send him to the orphanage as well, so he can be with the child. At least he won't be able to make purple sand."
The Song family had some dead and some sick, leaving only this old man and this young boy who were relatively normal. After discussing for a while, the grandfather and grandson decided to take Song Lan to the orphanage to inquire about the situation first.
Ask where the child went.
…
By the river.
As soon as Song Bai arrived, Song Lan's originally dull eyes immediately became alert, and he confronted Song Bai with his whole body tense.
Song Bai felt uncomfortable with his brother's reaction, but he forced a smile and tried to be gentle. "The child in the orphanage might be sick, so he didn't come. Should we go visit him?"
Song Bai shook the lollipop jar in his hand.
"If he's sick, he needs medicine. Can we go get him some lollipops?"
Song Lan looked alert, his eyes falling on the lollipop jar.
Song Bai smiled and said, "Look, my brother bought me all grape flavored ones. Take them and go find him, okay? If my brother doesn't go, you go."
Song Lan then took the jar, pursed his lips tightly, and got up from the ground.
But after sitting for a whole day, my legs and feet were numb, and I fell several times before I could stand up straight.
Holding the jar, he walked straight towards the orphanage like a robot with a programmed function.
Song Bai followed behind not too far away, feeling a pang of pain in his heart and eyes.
Ever since his younger brother and mother were killed in a car accident on the highway, right in front of Song Lan, Song Lan has been like a little hedgehog, refusing to be touched.
At first he and his grandfather didn't understand why they were not allowed to touch it.
Until one day, Song Lan had a fever and was confused. He mumbled: Don’t touch me, I’m unlucky, I’m a jinx, you’ll die if you touch me...
At that time, Song Bai felt as if his heart was stabbed by a knife.
The thing Song Bai regretted most in his life was that he let that woman take Song Lan away and bring her back to her hometown a few years ago.
Obviously, Song Lan was also her child, but she only had eyes for the third child who was born out of infidelity.
It’s hateful that neither he, his father, nor his grandfather noticed that Song Lan was being abused during those years.
It was not until after the car accident, when he returned to his hometown to pack up his things, that he heard neighbors talk about how Song Lan had been bullied in the past. One neighbor even recorded a video in which Song Lan was stripped naked and kneeling in the yard.
It was a snowy day.
It is said that he knelt until midnight.
Another neighbor said that his mother forced Song Lan to watch horror and ghost movies, which scared Song Lan so much that he almost went insane.
It was not until then that he knew what kind of life Song Lan had lived during those years.
But I found out too late.
As soon as the car accident happened, Song Lan was taken to the hospital from the bloody scene. When he woke up again, his mind was completely abnormal. He was obsessed with death and cried and asked why his mother pushed him out of the car.
Why?
Everyone is dead, and no one knows why.
But I guess it was because her father found out about her cheating that day and wanted to divorce her. Maybe it was revenge...
It doesn't matter why.
What’s important is Song Lan’s current state.
…
Holding the lollipop jar tightly, Song Lan stood at the door of the orphanage with a tense face and said to the teacher in the orphanage, "I want to find Xiaoxi, the three-year-old child here."
The teacher smiled gently and touched Song Lan's head.
She recognized that this was the child who played with the brook for a while every day.
When the teacher touched his head, Song Lan obviously dodged.
The teacher thought the child was just in his rebellious phase and didn't want to be touched. He smiled and said, "Xiaoxi went to look for his parents. The dean took him there early this morning."
Song Lan looked at the teacher in shock. After a long pause, he said, "He found his mother?"
The teacher smiled and said, "I think so."
Find mom.
He found his mother.
Now that I have my own mother, I probably don’t need him to be my mother anymore.
He can go die.
I can finally die and don’t have to take care of children anymore, but my heart feels empty and a little uncomfortable.
Song Lan held the candy jar and mechanically said thank you to the teacher at the orphanage, then turned and walked towards the river.
Song Bai watched Song Lan about to lie in the river, his hands and feet shaking with fear, and he hurried to hug him.
"Xiao Lan!"
…
Jiang Mingxi stayed in the hospital for a day and regained consciousness.
Crying loudly.
"That's my home! My home! Woohoo, I want to go home! That's my home! It's Xiaoxi's home! I want to go home!"
Awang usually wanted to give Jiang Mingxi a beating at any time, but now seeing him crying so pitifully, he finally said patiently: "Otherwise, why don't you go ask your mother by the river to see if she knows what happened?"
Jiang Mingxi sobbed and rolled over, ready to get off the bed, "Go find Mommy!"
The dean’s mother just finished a phone call.
They went there to look for Xiaoxi's mother, but ended up finding out that Xiaoxi had stabbed someone else's child. Although the property management directly drove them away at the time, the other parent still called them afterwards.
After a scolding, and after verifying that they were indeed from the orphanage, the other party did not make a big fuss and only asked them to pay 10,000 yuan in medical expenses.
After hanging up the phone, the dean's mother sighed.
No matter how she looked at what happened today, she felt it was a bit strange.
Although Xiaoxi is small, she always feels that since he has entered the yard, he should not make a mistake.
And what about those two security guards? Xiaoxi stabbed the homeowner's child. Logically, shouldn't they have detained them and contacted the family to handle the situation? Why did they just chase them away?
