Mu Ran filled a bowl of rice from the restaurant, added some vegetable soup, and poured some pickled mustard he brought from home, and sat at the door of the kitchen to eat lunch.

From the living room behind the house came Wang Qin's voice of scolding Li Ping, and occasionally a few words of Li Ping's crying rebuttal, which were severely suppressed by Wang Qin's louder voice.

This is not the first time the mother and daughter have quarreled. Li Ping didn't pass the college entrance examination, and she didn't want to study any more, she wanted to learn makeup. Wang Qin used her own house to open a restaurant, and thought that Li Ping would be fine if she didn't study, and she could also help out in the restaurant. As for learning how to make up, don't even think about it.

The two mothers and daughters kept arguing like this for three days. At first, Mu Ran tried to persuade her, but Wang Qin stopped her by saying, "What are you? It's your turn to manage my family's affairs." From then on, whenever the two mothers and daughters quarreled, Mu Ran consciously stayed away and didn't ask any more questions.

Amidst Wang Qin's sharp scolding, there was a sudden sound of flipping plastic bags outside the small courtyard. Mu Ran froze for a moment, then immediately stood up and ran out of the courtyard.

The garbage bags piled up against the wall were overturned on the ground, and a wild cat leaned half of its body into the mouth of the bag and rustled for food. Hearing the sound of people's footsteps, the wild cat stretched out its head vigilantly, and moved its ears slightly. .

As soon as Mu Ran ran to the door, he saw the cat's mat jump up the high wall and disappeared in an instant.

There was no one around, and Mu Ran felt a little disappointed when he saw the rubbish that had been turned all over the floor. After so many days, he never saw the child again, and he looked around when there was no one in the store during lunch break, but he didn't see anyone. Sometimes he would guess whether she was found by her family, or whether she had a shelter, but every time he comforted himself like this, he felt more and more uneasy.

Probably because of his own background, he was still unable to remain indifferent. Every time he thought of the child with his head buried in the pie, he felt as if he had been stabbed. And she is too young, if she is still wandering outside, or is caught by some uneasy and kind people... Mu Ran dare not think about it.

"Mu Ran! Where's the person?!" Wang Qin's unhappy voice came from the room. Mu Ran put back the broom he brought from the yard to clean, and entered the house in response to the voice.

It was almost eight o'clock when the restaurant was busy at night.

Wang Qin had a quarrel with her daughter today, and Li Ping went out in a fit of anger in the afternoon and hasn't come back yet. Wang Qin has been in a bad mood, and she doesn't even look good towards Mu Ran. Mu Ran doesn't take it seriously. After packing up his things, he left the restaurant.

Now is the busiest time outside, the students gather together in groups of three and four, and laughter is everywhere. Mu Ran passed through the crowd, and was occasionally bumped into by crazy students, and he would smile and say it was okay amidst the flustered apology of the other party.

He has also had such an age and such a time, but he has never laughed so heartily as they did. In the days ahead, he was busy worrying about tuition fees and living expenses, gritting his teeth and saving bit by bit, making up here and there, making up for here, and finally barely survived. In the days that followed, in the days that followed, he met someone...

Thinking of this, Mu Ran laughed, it was always like this, inadvertently, without any warning, this person would jump into his mind, and the memories that were pressed in the deepest part of his heart would also churn.

In fact, he left the nursing home half a year ago. At that time, Secretary Jiang said that as long as he didn't stay in this city, no matter where he wanted to go, how much money he wanted, or any other conditions, he could meet it.

But he wants nothing. He lived in a nursing home for 2 months, doctors, nurses, board and lodging, everything was the best, and the Yi family didn't owe him anything.

Secretary Jiang didn't force him, he only gave him his own contact number, and arranged for him to come to the south according to his wishes. After several twists and turns, he finally stayed in Jinxi District and found a job in a small restaurant next to the school.

In fact, the economy here is not developed, and when it is mentioned by outsiders, it always carries the word backward and poor. But here are green mountains and green waters, and the pace of life is very slow. Mu Ran felt that this was a suitable place for him to spend the rest of his life.

Arriving at the destination while thinking wildly, Mu Ran collected his thoughts, took out the key, opened the door, turned on the light, and entered the house.

The house is a bit old and not big, just one living room and one bedroom. The closed balcony is converted into a kitchen, and there is a simple and small bathroom next to it. There is a fire in the house, which is the stove used by many people here. A pipe is connected to the side of the stove and leads directly to the outside. Usually, you only need to add some coal or briquettes to the middle of the stove, and then cover the fire, and the house can be burnt. It is very warm, and the gas will be discharged along the pipe without leaving too much smell.

Mu Ran took off his coat, took the tongs hanging under the stove, and prepared to go outside to pick up some more coal to burn, but he had just walked to the side of the coal shed, and by the light of the room, he saw a tattered woven bag. The bags are large and are usually used by students to hold books when carrying luggage. Mu Ran put down the tongs, and reached out to pick up the bag strangely, but just after opening the bag, he saw a child curled up sleeping inside.

It was dark in the coal shed, and the child's face could not be seen clearly, but Mu Ran recognized the black loose coat. Mu Ran quickly opened the bag and tried to reach out to hug the child, but the child didn't resist, and didn't even respond at all. Startled, he stretched out his hand to touch the child's face, and the tentacles were hot.

Mu Ran couldn't care about anything else, and hurriedly carried her into the room, and only by the light could he see clearly that the child's face was flushed, his mouth was open, and his breath was full of scalding heat. Mu Ran immediately took off the coat that was obviously wet and heavy on the child, grabbed his own coat and wrapped the child tightly, picked up the wallet and keys, picked up the child and ran out as fast as possible. out the door.

The hospital was too far away, so Mu Ran went to the nearest clinic on the street. This season is the peak season for colds and illnesses. At this time, many people in the clinic are still hanging water. Dr. Liu, who was pulling out the needle, heard the voice behind her, and when she turned her head, she saw Mu Ran panting and sweating profusely. She turned her head and continued to move her hands, but she repeatedly comforted her: "Don't panic, I will immediately Come here."

Panting for breath, Mu Ran couldn't speak, so he stood with the child in his arms and nodded.

After pulling out the patient's needle, Dr. Liu turned around and took Mu Ran to sit down on the bench in the house. He untied the coat covering the child to take her temperature, and asked Mu Ran for details. The waif picked up by Mu Ran looked up at Mu Ran slightly in surprise.

The child's fever reached 39 degrees, and she was dizzy and listless. The doctor didn't dare to procrastinate any longer, and directly prescribed medicine to give her water. The two beds that could sleep in the room were occupied, so Mu Ran could only sit on the bench and hug the child. The child smelled, and the woman sitting next to Mu Ran gave him an unhappy look, moved her butt and moved away. Mu Ran held the child's hand tightly, and moved to the side again.

As time passed, there were fewer and fewer people in the clinic, and finally only the two of them remained. Mu Ran looked at the tired doctor standing beside him, and repeatedly expressed his embarrassment.

Doctor Liu didn't mind, she came over to test the temperature of the child, and when she saw that the situation was a little better, she comforted Mu Ran, and even chatted with Mu Ran with a smile.

Her own child is not a few years older than the child Mu Ran is holding. After hearing how Mu Ran picked up the child, she was a little moved. She thought about it and said to Mu Ran: "Well, if you don't worry, wait After the child is hung up, I will take her to the house to take a bath and check her up." After a pause, Doctor Liu continued: "These homeless children will have some unfortunate encounters, and I don't know if this child Are there any other injuries on the body?"

Mu Ran listened to her in a daze, and then almost immediately wanted to stand up to thank her, but just now he realized that he was holding the child in his arms, and hurriedly sat down carefully, blushing a little embarrassingly Thank you all the time. The doctor couldn't help laughing at his incoherent state of excitement, and sighed in his heart that he had once met such a good man who could only be seen on the TV news.

The author has something to say:

I have already decided to update the article during the holidays so I don’t want to talk nonsense. But it’s really... so what. I didn’t write Mu Ran and the child to show how holy he is. I just want to find someone who will never let him down. Sad. He was sincere to him from the beginning to the end. He only defends him. This kind of setting is impossible in Yitian. It is only a cannon fodder to shape the second attack. It is boring. His love will never be complete. The family has suffered. Seriously hurt but at least there is warmth and anticipation. So just give it to him. How many people have been killed by the blood spilled before... Let’s take a break for a while. After the beginning, Yi Tian found Mu Ran and repeated the dialogue plot of "Follow me back" and "I won't go back". So Yi Tian The highlight of the show is a little later. In fact, I think a lot of things are already clear here... Really, if you don't like Mu Ran, you just have obsessive-compulsive disorder and want to see the girl who wants to see the end. There is no need to chase after her. They are together in the end. Don't worry.
