Muted

Mu Ran filled the bowl of rice from the restaurant, added some vegetable soup, and poured some mustard he brought from home, sitting at the kitchen door and eating lunch.

In the living room behind the house, Wang Qin's voice of Li Ping was heard. Occasionally, Li Ping carried a crying throbbing sound, which was severely suppressed by Wang Qin's louder voice.

This is not the first time the mother and daughter have quarreled. Li Ping didn't get into the college entrance examination, and she didn't want to study anymore, she wanted to learn makeup. Wang Qin opened a restaurant in his own room. I felt that Li Ping would not have to read a book, and she could just help in the restaurant. As for studying makeup, don't even think about it.

The two mothers and daughters quarreled for three days and started muting, and then they were stopped by Wang Qin's phrase "What kind of thing is your turn to take care of my family?" From now on, Mu Ran consciously hid far from any quarrel between the mother and daughter, no more than a question.

In Wang Qin's sharp scolding, a sudden rumbling of a plastic bag came from outside the courtyard, and Mu Ran frowned, then immediately stood up and ran out of the courtyard.

A garbage bag stacked near the wall fell to the ground, and a wild cat plunged into the mouth of the bag to search for food. Hearing the footsteps of the man, the wild cat extended his head vigilantly, and his ear moved slightly.

As soon as Mu Ran ran to the door, he saw the cat's feet support it and jumped up the high wall and disappeared instantly.

There was no one around, and Mu Ran was a little disappointed looking at the **** that had been turned over. After so many days, he has never seen the child again. When no one was in the shop during lunchtime, he also looked around and saw no figure. Sometimes he wondered if she was found back by her family, or if she had a place to rest, but every time she comforted herself like this, she became more and more disturbed.

Probably because of his life experience, he was still unable to remain indifferent, and every time he thought of the child burying his head and eating a lot of bread, he felt as if he was pierced. And she is too young, if she is still wandering, or caught by some uneasy people ... Mu Ran is afraid to think down.

"Muran! People!" Wang Qin's unhappy voice came from the room. Mu Ran put the broom cleaned from the yard back, and entered the room with a voice.

It's almost eight o'clock in the evening at the restaurant.

Wang Qin had a quarrel with his daughter today. In the afternoon, Li Ping went out with anger and hasn't returned. Wang Qin has been in a bad mood, and he has no good face with Mu Ran. After packing and packing, I left the restaurant.

Now is the most lively time outside. The students gather in groups of three or five, and there are laughter everywhere. Mu Ran walked through the crowd, and was occasionally hit by a crazy student. In the slightly apologetic apology, he laughed and said it was okay.

He has had such a time and such a time, but he never laughed so happily as they did. In the previous days, he was busy worrying, worrying about tuition, living expenses, biting his teeth to save a little bit of province, here to make up there, to make up here, and finally managed to barely survive. In the days that followed, he met someone ...

The thought of being laughed at here is always the same. When inadvertently, without any warning, this person will jump into his head, and those memories that lie deep in his heart will also churn up.

In fact, he left the nursing home six months ago. At that time, Secretary Jiang said that as long as he did not stay in the city, no matter where he wanted to go, how much money he needed, or any other conditions, he could be satisfied.

But he didn't want anything. He lived in a nursing home for 2 months. The doctor, the caregiver, the room and board, everything was the best, and the Yi family did not owe him anything.

Secretary Jiang did not reluctantly, only gave him his own telephone number, and arranged for him to come to the south as he wished. After several passes, he finally stayed in Jinxi District and found a job in a small restaurant near the school.

In fact, the economy here is not well developed. When it is mentioned by outsiders, it always carries the words of backwardness and poverty. But here the mountains and rivers are slow, and the pace of life is slow. Mu Ran feels that this is the place to spend the rest of his life.

Wandering to his destination, Mu Ran gathered his thoughts, took out the key, opened the door, turned on the light, and entered the room.

The house is a bit old and not large. It has one bedroom and one bedroom. The closed balcony has been converted into a kitchen, and there is a humble and narrow bathroom next to it. The fire was burned in the room. It is a stove used by many people here. A tube is connected to the stove to directly connect it to the outside of the house. Usually, you only need to add some coal or honeycomb coal in the middle of the stove and cover it with a fire. Baking is very warm, and the gas will be discharged along the pipe without leaving too heavy smell.

Mu Ran took off his jacket and took the fire tongs hanging under the stove to go outside and pick up some coal to burn, but just after he walked to the coal shed, by the light of the room, he saw that the coal shed was a ragged one. Woven bag. The bag is large, and is usually used by students to load books when carrying luggage. Mu Ran lowered the fire tongs and reached out to pick up the bag strangely. I just uncovered the bag and saw a child sleeping in a ball.

The coal shed was dark and could not see the child's appearance, but Mu Ran recognized the black baggy coat. Mu Ran quickly opened the bag and tried to reach out and hug the child. The child didn't resist, even without any reaction. He was shocked and reached out to touch the child's face, the tentacles were hot.

Mu Ran couldn't wait any longer, and quickly hugged her into the room. By the light, she could see that the child's face was flushed, his mouth was open, and his breath was hot. Mu Ran took off the child's apparently wet coat with water, grabbed his coat and wrapped the child tightly, picked up the wallet and keys, held the child and ran out at the fastest speed Out the door.

The hospital was too far away, and Mu Ran approached the clinic on the street. This season is the peak of colds and illnesses. At this time, many people in the clinic are hanging on the water. Dr. Liu, who was pulling the needle, heard the sound behind her. As soon as she turned around, she saw Mu Ran panting and sweating. She turned back to continue the movements on her hands, but her mouth was soothed: "Don't panic, I will immediately Just come over. "

Gasping out of breath, Mu Ran hugged the child and nodded.

Dr. Liu finished pulling the patient's needle, and then turned around and took Mu Ran to sit on a bench in the house. He unbuttoned the child's jacket to take her temperature, and asked Mu Ran the specific situation. When she heard that the child was The wanderer Mu Ran picked up slightly looked up at Mu Ran in amazement.

The child burned to 39 degrees, and everyone was groggy and unconscious. The doctor did not dare to drag it anymore, and he gave her an infusion. The two beds in the room were occupied, and 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 and moved his **** a little further away. Mu Ran held the child's hand tightly and moved it to the side.

A little bit of time passed, and there were fewer and fewer people in the clinic, and only two of them were left in the end. Mu Ran embarrassed at the doctor who looked a little tired beside him.

Dr. Liu didn't mind. She came over and tried the child's temperature. When she saw that the situation was better, she comforted Mu Ran and even talked to Mu Ran with a smile.

Her own child was a few years older than the child that Mu Ran was holding. When she heard Mu Ran picking up the child, she was a little moved. She thought about it and said to Mu Ran: "Well, if you rest assured, wait After the child hung up, I took her to the house to take a bath, and checked her by the way. "After a pause, Dr. Liu continued," The homeless children will have some unfortunate encounters. I do n’t know the child. There are no other injuries on my body. "

Mu Ran listened to her awkwardly, and then almost immediately wanted to stand up and thank him, but he just reacted as soon as he had no action. He was holding the child in his arms, and hurriedly sat down cautiously. Thanks a lot. The doctor couldn't help laughing when he saw the incoherent expression of excitement, and he sighed in his heart. He even met a good person who can only see this kind of TV news.
