Ding Ning rushed to send the documents before the courier company got off work.

After leaving the courier company, the rain had stopped, and thin snowflakes fell. The temperature was not low enough, and the snowflakes falling on the ground quickly turned into water, mixed with the dust on the ground and turned into a muddy ground.

She didn't take a taxi, and walked slowly on the road for an unknown amount of time, and finally she was about to reach the community where she lived.

Suddenly her eyes were attracted by an old man sitting on a stone bench by the roadside. She was wearing thin clothes and a pair of slippers on her bare feet. Her gray hair was covered with snowflakes, and she was shivering in the cold wind.

Passers-by around cast strange glances at him, but no one stepped forward, Ding Ning couldn't help but stop.

"Oh, Ding Ning, it's snowing heavily, hurry home."

Aunt Zhang, the neighbor downstairs, just came to meet her. She followed Ding Ning's eyes and looked over: "Oh, what a crime. I don't know whose family is the old man. It's so cold, I'm going to freeze to death."

"Yeah, it will definitely freeze if it goes on like this. I'll go and ask her where her home is."

Ding Ning was about to go forward, but Aunt Zhang grabbed her and said, "You're out of your mind. You can't get involved in this kind of thing. Didn't you hear that two primary school students were extorted money for helping the elderly? This kind of thing Just leave it to the police."

Ding Ning paused, then the old man could not be left here to suffer from the cold, so Aunt Zhang shook her head and walked away seeing how stubborn she was.

"Auntie, what are you doing here in this cold weather? Where is your family?" Ding Ning stepped forward and asked.

"Home...home..." The old man looked at Ding Ning blankly: "My home is..." She stretched out her finger and pointed forward.

"Do you know where your home is? Great, I'll take you home!" Ding Ning stepped forward to help her up.

"No, no!" The old man suddenly changed direction again: "My home is... over there..."

"Ah?" Ding Ning was dumbfounded. Seeing the old man's appearance as if his mind is not clear, this is not the solution. Ding Ning bit his lip: "Then I will send you to the police station."

"Police station?" The old man covered his ears immediately when he heard the word "police station", stamped his feet and shouted in horror: "I don't want to go to the police station. The police stations are all bad guys, all bad guys."

People around looked at them curiously, so Ding Ning could only comfort her: "Okay, okay, let's not go to the police station, okay?"

Only then did the old man calm down, maybe because he was too emotional just now, the old man lost control of himself.

Urine flowed down her trousers, her trouser legs became wet, and she trembled uncomfortably when the cold wind blew.

"Then why don't you go home with me?" Ding Ning gritted his teeth.

She really couldn't bear to just let the old man ignore him like this, it was snowing all over the sky, and it was getting dark soon, if she was left here, I really don't know what would happen.

"It'll be warm when you get home, and there's something delicious to eat, okay?"

"Yeah!" Upon hearing the word "delicious", the old man's eyes lit up, and he nodded desperately like a child: "Sister, take me home...go home."

As soon as he entered the house, Ding Ning found his own clothes and changed the wet underwear for the old man.

The old man was very uncooperative at first, so Ding Ning could only coax him softly: "If you are not obedient, my sister will be angry, and there will be no food later."

It seemed that she was really hungry, and she immediately became cooperative as soon as she heard that she was not being given food. She not only changed her dirty clothes, but also took a bath by the way.

After finally tidying up everything, Ding Ning hurried to the kitchen to make a bowl of hot noodle soup for the old man.

The soup is filled with shredded ginger and beef dumplings marinated in corn starch, which is delicious and can drive away the wind and cold.

The old man ate two bowls in a row and gave a thumbs up: "Sister, it's delicious, so... delicious."

It was already ten o'clock in the evening after such a toss, Ding Ning took out a set of clean bedding and asked the old man to sleep on his bed.

Let her live here tonight, and try to contact her family tomorrow.

Perhaps the old man hadn't had a good rest for a long time, and he snored slightly as soon as his head touched the pillow, sleeping peacefully and soundly.

Seeing her sleeping so soundly, Ding Ning felt relieved.

She remembered that the old man's clothes hadn't been cleaned in the bathroom, and picked up the clothes and shook them habitually. Suddenly, a white bracelet fell out of the old man's clothes.

I didn't know where the bracelet was placed just now, even though I checked it carefully, I didn't find that the old man was still wearing it.

The bracelet had the contact information of the old man's family members, and Ding Ning hurriedly dialed the number.

"Hello, is this Liao Guiqiu's family?"

"Yes! I am!" A man's anxious and joyful voice came from the other end of the phone: "Liao Guiqiu is my mother. Is she with you now? She ran away from home this afternoon and disappeared. I am very anxious... .I..." The man was so excited that he was a little incoherent.

"Don't worry, your mother is with me now, she is safe now, please rest assured."

"Where is your location? I'm going to pick her up now." The other party said eagerly.

Ding Ning looked back at the sleeping old man, lowered his voice and said, "She should be quite tired, she has fallen asleep now, why don't you let her live with me, and you can pick her up tomorrow morning."

"Then... well, I'm going to trouble you." The other side hesitated for a while, and said in embarrassment.

Ding Ning hung up the phone and sent his location. After a while, a text message came back: "Got it, thank you."

In the morning, the old man woke up very early. After a night of deep sleep, her condition seemed to be much better, and her mind seemed to have recovered a bit: "Girl, who are you? Why am I here?"

"Auntie, my name is Ding Ning. Yesterday you ran away from home alone, and I brought you back to my house. Your son will come to pick you up in a while."

"Ah? Have I committed my old problem again?" The old man thumped his head in remorse: "When you get older, you will only drag your children down. It's really useless."

"Auntie, don't say that, children will never dislike their parents."

Ding Ning thought so from the bottom of her heart, how happy she would be if her parents were still alive, no matter what they were, as long as they were still alive, her life would have something to do with it.

Seeing that the loose hair of the old man was a little obstructive, Ding Ning picked up a comb and helped her make a curl.

When she was doing all this, she suddenly remembered the dream she had before, in which she helped the gray-haired mother comb her hair like this.

After breakfast, I changed into clean clothes, and the phone rang on time, which was exactly the time I made an appointment to pick up the old man.

Seeing that the clothes on the old man were thin, she took a clean coat from the closet and put it on the old man, and took out a pair of shoes from the shoe cabinet, which were given to her by the kind-hearted man when she escaped from Zheng Chongyang. Shoes, the size is bigger, some old people don't fit well.

Helping the old man downstairs, a young man stood at the door.
