The two stared at each other in silence for a long time, Lan Xue looked at Wang Tie, then at Wei Mingyan, and gently tugged at his sleeve.
There were a lot of people in the ward and it was very noisy, but it was precisely because of this environment that Wang Tie's tension eased a little. The local anesthesia had passed, and the pain was gradually getting worse. Enduring the pain, he squeezed out a cramped Smile, "Sit down."
Wei Mingyan sat on the chair beside the bed, his face was always expressionless, Lan Xue sat behind him, and could clearly see her lover's nervously clenched hands.
Wang Tie has been looking at the young man in front of him, he looks very good-looking, very similar to his father in memory, he is gentle, like an intellectual.
He was very enthusiastic, and carried himself out of the car. He was also very good. He was serious and careful when performing the operation, and he was very dedicated. It can be seen that he has grown very well.
"I always thought...you don't want me." Wei Mingyan's voice fell into Wang Tie's ears in the noisy ward.
"No." No matter how hard he tried to hold back the tears before, in front of the child he had been looking for for so many years, he still couldn't hold back the tears.
With red eyes, he said, "You were snatched away by traffickers, we didn't want you..."
Wei Mingyan lowered his head, couldn't see the expression on his face clearly, but his voice became hoarse, "You...have you been looking for me?"
"I've been looking for..."
After listening to his words, the doctor who was still hanging his head raised his head just now, and Wang Tie realized that his eyes were also red, and he didn't shed tears, but just looked at him stubbornly.
"Don't be afraid, can't you find it?"
The two of them were like asking and answering, Wei Mingyan asked, Wang Tie answered.
"You were only five years old when you lost it. You are so clingy. If you don't look for it, you are afraid that you will suffer where we can't see it."
Facing this son who has been separated for twenty years, Wang Tie is timid. He has thought about many scenes where father and son recognize each other, and how to make up for his own child, but he looks clean and bright and has become an excellent adult. , I dare not admit it again.
For twenty years, they hadn't been together, and they hadn't felt any joys, sorrows, sorrows, or joys. He hadn't shared in his child's life, so how could he dare to stand up as a father after he was an adult.
Hearing what the man said, Wei Mingyan pursed his lips, and said softly, "I didn't suffer much, they treated me very well, and they didn't hide that I was adopted."
"That's good, that's good..."
Wang Tie smiled and cried, and murmured, "It's good, it's good..."
He has been worrying about whether the child will suffer, whether he will suffer.
When looking for children, he found the wrong one after another.
Those children are skinny and have wounds from being beaten. These are the treatment for children who want to escape.
Human traffickers are simply inferior to animals. They control the younger children by feeding them sleeping pills. When the children fall asleep, they will naturally not cry and make others suspicious.
The older children are sensible, the timid ones only dare to shrink back, and the daring ones who want to resist will be severely beaten.
These people seem to have no conscience, they are all born to their parents, and they will have children in the future, but they have exhausted all means to these tender dolls. Once, he heard that a boy was rescued. He was of the right age. But someone scalded the scar, and no moles could be seen.
Wang Tie hurried over, but what he saw was a dying child with wounds all over his body, almost as thin as ribs.
This child has a memory and is smart, but he will not hide this smartness in front of the traffickers. Those people know that he remembers them, and of course they will not let him go.
That child became a chicken to scare chickens and monkeys. The beatings were trivial. He was burned with a cigarette, was splashed with scalding water when serving water, and was forced to kneel down to eat the dirt on the ground.
They are no longer human beings, but beasts in human skin.
Incapable and courageous to hurt adults of the same age, instead attacking children who have no ability to resist.
Looking at the dying child who needed oxygen to breathe on the hospital bed, Wang Tie prayed through the glass window.
Whether he was praying that this was his child or not, he couldn't tell.
He really wanted to find his own child, but if the child who had suffered the most misery in the world was his son, Wang Tie didn't even know if he could bear it.
It turned out that it wasn't his child.
Wang Tie's heart was heavy, and he couldn't help wondering whether his child would also be suffering like this...
That kid was really smart, he handed over what he wrote down to the police, the trafficker's lair was destroyed, and the kids inside were rescued one by one.
They were terrified and hugged by the police, and only dared to cry when they knew they were safe.
Few of the few police officers present were married. They hugged the children with unskilled children, patted their backs and coaxed them.
Even though it might be uncomfortable to be hugged, subconsciously, the children knew that someone who was good to them was coming, so they pursed their mouths, grabbed the police sleeve and cried loudly.
When Wang Tie arrived, the child was crying immaturely and aggrieved. The parents of the child who were notified were ecstatic.
Wang Tie was not among them. He watched the two couples ask panicked questions from a distance. When he got the answer, his eyes suddenly burst into great sadness, and he knew what they got.
Traffickers don't pay much attention to children. Older ones are fine, but younger ones can get sick if they are a little negligent. When children are sick, they only show them to their own doctors. If they don't look well, they don't treat them.
The child, of course, is gone.
They would rather watch the child die than take such a small risk to take him to the hospital. Even if the child's parents are willing to give up all their belongings in exchange for his health, in their eyes, this is just a commodity.
Wang Tie is not the only father who is looking for his child. In the past 20 years, he has seen and heard a lot.
The more I search, the colder my heart becomes.
Every time there was some news, he rushed over, and when he knew it was wrong, he couldn't close his eyes that night.
He would rather reduce his life, would rather use his own life in exchange for the safety of his children.
Even if you can't find it, even if you don't see each other for the rest of your life, as long as you are safe, safe...
And now, his child is back.
He didn't endure hardships, had a pair of parents who treated him as if he were his own, and was well-educated. He was an excellent doctor and had a bright future.
Wei Mingyan sat beside his bed, talking softly about his childhood.
His grades are excellent, his parents love him, he is the child with the most books in the class, and he will use his pocket money to buy papers for himself. The teacher said that his classmates are envious of him.
From childhood to adulthood, the parents of other children did not support their hobbies very much, but his parents were very supportive. They bought him any books he wanted, and even set aside a room for him as a study room at home. .
Listening to Wei Mingyan's description of his life, Wang Tie smiled contentedly despite the pain in his body.
In the end, he seemed to be able to say only this sentence, "It's pretty good..."
His children did not suffer.
Be happy, be safe and be happy.
very nice.

Seeing that it was almost eleven o'clock, Wang Yulin finally drove the car to the hospital.
He was a little surprised why the meeting was here, didn't it mean that his brother was a doctor in City A
Wan Youlan put down her phone, with a nervous expression on her face.
"It is clear that he will come down to pick us up."
Wang Yulin parked the car, "Auntie, don't be so nervous, there is my uncle."
His attitude towards this childhood playmate who has been away from his parents for twenty years and should be an adult now is still not optimistic.
Although it is said that blood is thicker than water, after all these years of separation, the lost time cannot be made up for.
But seeing that Aunt Wan's happy hands didn't know where to put them, he swallowed those words back.
Forget it, anyway, with him watching, nothing can go wrong.
The two had just gone to the hall for a while, and two young men came down the stairs.
The man is gentle and handsome, with a cool demeanor, the girl is beautiful and cute, holding the man's shoulder is very dependent.
Wang Yulin felt his eyes light up when he saw it. These two people are so good-looking. Just by standing in the hall, the originally dark hall seemed to be much brighter.
It's really rare for them to be able to grow such good-looking characters in such a poor country...
Just as he was thinking, he saw two people walking over.
Wan Youlan seemed to have noticed it too, fixedly staring at the slender and handsome young man in front of her, who was a head taller than her, with trembling lips, unable to speak.
"We're here to pick you up."
Wei Mingyan looked at the excited middle-aged woman in front of him, and clenched his hands slightly nervously, but he still didn't call out "Mom". After Lan Xue felt it, she gently squeezed his palms to express her encouragement.
The beautiful girl raised her smiling face and said humanely to her, "Auntie, let's go up first."
Because it was already late at night, they went to the office of this hospital, and the three of them sat down with a somewhat reserved face.
Wan Youlan took out the bag she had been carrying with her all the time, her hands were shaking nervously, and she took out a folded boxy sweater from it.
"It will be early autumn soon, I knitted you a thin sweater, take a look, does it fit..."
She didn't even know what she was talking about, only her hand holding the sweater was shaking violently.
Wang Yulin was a little speechless. Although they are mother and son, it is the first time they meet, don't ask what happened in these years, just give a sweater, is it really okay
Wei Mingyan looked at Wan Youlan's hands, dry and thin, with shriveled veins, and calluses all over the palms, which were the result of long-term labor.
The sweater in her hand is light yellow and looks extremely soft, all knitted by Wan Youlan stitch by stitch.
The eyes of this old mother, who was clearly under fifty, were full of hope and timidity.
She loves her child, but she doesn't know how to get along with him after being separated for so long.
Thinking about it, when I was thinking about it, I estimated his age and height, and made a piece of clothing for him, hoping to find it back, and give this piece of clothing to him.
She thought for twenty years, and made hundreds of clothes, from small to large, from short to tall.
In the original world, Wan Youlan thought, send the clothes over to let the child know that they have not abandoned him, they have been looking for it all the time, and have never given up.
She just wanted to take a look.
See what your child looks like now, and hope that he can take that dress.
Then, the sweater she had knit all night was thrown on the floor.
Her child said, "Whoever wants to be your son doesn't look at what he is."
Now, Wei Mingyan had a light yellow sweater in front of him, and Wan Youlan became timid on the way of nervousness.
He didn't seem to be short of money, so how could he see what she did.
The mother who has been separated from her son for twenty years has low self-esteem, and if she is lost, she wants to take back her clothes.
A slender and beautiful hand landed on the light yellow sweater, Wan Youlan looked over, but saw a faint smile on the handsome young man.
Very light, but also very nice.
"Thank you, I like it very much."
She covered the tears in her eyes and smiled contentedly.
