"Lin Luo, six years ago, you followed my car from City B to here, right?" Chen Maocai spoke slowly.
Lin Luo didn't answer, but looked at Chen Maocai. He walked out of the corner, his expression calm.
"Six years ago, I felt strange that there were children playing in my car so early in the morning. I drove all day and all night, and I was not clear-headed, so I let you get away with it like that."
Lin Luo stood up, walked to the door, closed and locked the iron door, then looked back at Chen Maocai and asked warily: "What do you want to do?"
Chen Maocai smiled bitterly and said: "I have no malice, I just want to thank you for saving Chen Chao and tell you something."
Lin Luo said calmly: "You tell me."
Chen Maocai began to reminisce.
"There is a large vegetable planting base in the southern suburbs of City B. Six years ago, not long after you left my car, I took another transportation order starting from the vegetable base in City B, and I met other drivers at the base. While chatting, I heard about a strange thing. An orphanage several kilometers away from the vegetable base lost a child not long ago. The orphanage called the police. The police searched dozens of kilometers around, but could not find it. Another day later, the famous wealthy Sun family actually sent people to search for him and searched all the nearby farmers' homes, just to find the child."
"When people from the Sun family came to search, they brought a photo of the child. They said it was a child adopted by the Sun family. It was very important. The photo was posted on the wall outside the vegetable base. They said that as long as anyone provided clues, the Sun family would give a reward of 10. Jin. There is a very cute little girl in the photo, with big eyes and round face, I recognized her immediately."
"Lin Luo, is that you? You are the child that the Sun family is looking for."
Even though Lin Luo had seen many strange things in the past few years, when it was his turn, his heart still couldn't calm down for a long time.
Lin Luo didn't expect that the Sun family would mobilize so many people to find her, even the farmers in the outer suburbs. Then they must have searched for her in City B. If she had gone to City B at that time, she would have probably been arrested long ago. The Sun family caught it.
"Uncle Chen, why...don't you tell them?"
Lin Luo felt a little complicated inside. She also realized that Chen Maocai recognized her back then, but did not tell the Sun family about her whereabouts in order to get the bounty. She could live here safely because the man in front of her was so secretive. result.
Chen Maocai shook his head, with pity in his eyes.
"What kind of kid can get as much as 10 yuan with just one clue? Hehe, I worked hard for a whole year and couldn't make that much money. And it is said that the group of people who were looking for you looked vicious. Yes, he went straight into the villagers' homes without saying hello to look for them, and also destroyed many people's property. The villagers united and started a riot, and the Sun family lost a lot of money. They all said that this was not like looking for a child. , more like coming to arrest people.”
"It's not that I never thought about telling the Sun family that you came to our town, but when I think of you, I also think of my Xiaochao. He is about the same age as you and lives in this town. A group of people like that If you come here to arrest someone, I don’t know if it will cause any trouble or hurt other children, so I don’t dare to take the risk.”
"Later, I saw you living in Wang's house and becoming classmates with Xiao Chao. I was very happy. It's not easy for you, a child so young. You actually dared to run out of the orphanage alone. You must have suffered a lot. , what I can do for you is to keep this secret."
Chen Maocai looked at Lin Luo seriously and assured her: "Don't worry, I didn't tell anyone about this. My family doesn't even know about it. She always thought you were a kid from this town."
Lin Luo was moved and bowed deeply to Chen Maocai, "Thank you, Uncle Chen. I will never forget your kindness."
Chen Maocai smiled and said, "I helped you, and I also helped myself. If I had provided your clues to the Sun family back then, no one would be able to see me now and help me save Xiao Chao."
"Jingle Bell--"
It was the Chen family's landline phone that rang.
Lin Luo walked over and picked up the phone. It was Wang Zhizhou who called back from the hospital to report that he was safe. He asked Lin Luo to tell Chen Maocai: Chen Chao had a convulsion caused by high fever. Now he is awake and his body is fine, but the fever has not completely gone away. If you go down, you need to stay in the hospital for one night for observation.
Wang Zhizhou spoke in a loud voice, and Chen Maocai could clearly hear the content on the phone, "Thank you."
Lin Luo hung up the phone and saw that it was noon, ready to go home.
"Uncle Chen, I'm going home. Chen Chao is fine. Senior brother and I will send him back tomorrow. Your soul is too exhausted now. It's best to stay at home and try not to go out."
"I understand." Chen Maocai responded.
Lin Luo left Chen's house, carrying her schoolbag and holding an umbrella, and walked on the way back to Wang's house.
She still felt uneasy in her heart.
It was only after many years that I realized that the escape route was far more difficult and dangerous than I thought.
I can't help but sigh, there are selfish people like Chen Xuejun in this world who do not care about the lives of other children in exchange for the health of their own daughter, but there are also kind people like Chen Maocai.
When Lin Luo returned to Wang's house, it was already past 1 p.m.
Since Wang Zhizhou called his family in advance, Aunt Lin left lunch for Lin Luo.
After lunch, Lin Luo felt exhausted both physically and mentally, and fell asleep as soon as he hit the bed.
She dreamed again. In the dream, she was wearing a pink gauze dress and standing in the middle of a cocktail party.
That was the first time she entered such a high-end occasion, like an ignorant fledgling entering the hunting jungle.
People kept coming to toast her, congratulating her as a new actress who had just made her mark in her first movie. She was inexperienced and thin-skinned at the time, so no matter who came to toast her, they would take a sip.
She was drunk and was a little unconscious. There were still people coming to toast her. At this time, the back of a man wearing a brown casual suit blocked her face. She heard him say to the others: "She can't drink." ”
The others left chattering, and the man turned around and helped Lin Luo to go to the terrace to cool down and sober up. He was a very gentleman and always kept a certain distance from Lin Luo.
Lin Luo recognized the person. He was a hot new writer named Chen. When he was in college, he wrote a touching novel "Father", which ranked first in the new book sales list that year. The movie based on the novel, It even made countless viewers cry.
He said that he wanted to invite Lin Luo to be the model for his new book.
Lin Luo looked at the man's face. He couldn't say he was handsome, but his features were regular and his eyes were clear and sincere, making him easy to get close to.
The more Lin Luo looked at it, the more familiar he felt. Isn't this an enlarged version of Chen Chao?
