you after the mist

Before boarding the train, Tang Ran sent text messages to his parents in the waiting hall, but he waited for an hour, and the train passed several stations before his mother replied a message.

Extremely concise, with only one word "good".

His father's reply came a little later, but at least there were a few more words, "Have you brought enough money?" There were no other greetings, but Tang Ran was already used to it.

Five years ago, right after he graduated from junior high school, Tang Hun and Su Rong went for a divorce.

Tang Ran remembered that it was an afternoon when he played football and went home.He found his parents sitting in the living room.In fact, they seldom appear at home together, Tang Ran thought that something must have happened.

Sure enough, Tang Hui said, "I divorced your mother."

"Oh." Tang Ran glanced at them, "Got it."

He acted too calmly. Tang Hui originally planned to say a few more words, but now he didn't know how to speak.

"Ran Ran," Su Rong smiled, looking a little embarrassed, "Do you have any questions?"

"Hmm..." Tang Ran thought about it, "Who am I with?"

"You and your father."

"Okay." Tang Ran nodded, "That's fine. If you have other things to do, go get busy. I'm going back to my room." After he finished speaking, he turned and went into the bedroom.

The living room was quiet for a while, and then there was a faint conversation, but it stopped soon.Tang Ran heard the anti-theft door open and close, and they had already left.

Only then did he return to the living room, his whole body stretched out on the sofa, as if his bones had been pulled out.The water my parents drank is still steaming on the tea table, but they probably won't sit together anymore.

Tang Ran had a premonition about their divorce.When Tang Hui announced the news, there was even a voice in his heart saying, "They finally left."

They didn't have a good relationship, Tang Ran knew it early on.

Tang Hui is a doctor, and Su Rong is an executive in a foreign company. Both of them have received higher education and are well-mannered, but they never quarrel, they are just alienated, like strangers.

When Tang Ran was very young, they would occasionally take him out to play together, barely maintaining the appearance of a happy family of three.When Tang Ran gets older, this opportunity will disappear.They even seldom appear at the same time, and when one is at home, the other disappears by itself.It seems that breathing the air in the same room is unbearable.Tang Ran sometimes thought, why did they get married in the first place?

But he didn't ask.He also harbored a faint hope that as long as they didn't leave, maybe there would be a day when they would get back together again.But obviously, that hope is completely gone.

Su Rong remarried soon after the divorce.

Tang Hui never remarried, and he didn't know if it was because of Tang Ran, but it was getting later and later when he returned home.

Tang Ran has always been self-conscious without his parents' supervision.After graduating from high school, he was admitted to the law department of R University and went to N City.

In the winter vacation of his freshman year, Tang Ran couldn't buy a ticket to go home.He took the train home, but he missed the stop without noticing.He stood on that strange platform, stomped his feet, gasped, and called Tang Hui.

There was a lot of trouble at Tang Hui's side, and a woman's laughter came over.

"I'll send you the money, and you can buy another ticket and come back." Tang Hui quickly hung up the phone.

It's the Spring Festival, where can I buy tickets?

Out of anger, Tang Ran simply stayed there and spent the entire Spring Festival.

Surprisingly, the scenery of that small town was very to his liking.He stayed there for ten days and felt very peaceful.

Tang Ran never went back for every holiday after that.He always goes to the train station to buy a ticket as soon as he is on holiday, and buys it at the terminal.Then get off at a certain platform in the middle, live in a strange place, and spend his entire vacation.

The same goes for this summer vacation.He bought the nearest bus at the train station, and he didn't know where it went, but it was the same everywhere, and it wasn't home anyway.

Tang Ran leaned his head against the car window and looked at the phone screen.

No matter how long you stare at it, there will never be an extra word on it.

"Enough." Tang Ran replied the message.

Of course money is enough, Tang Hui and Su Rong have never been mean to Tang Ran in this regard.After all, the ever-increasing number in the account is their closest connection with Tang Ran, and they have no plans to cut it off yet.

Throwing the phone aside, Tang Ran scratched his head irritably.

In fact, he didn't need to send messages, and no one cared about his plans at all.On the contrary, such perfunctory will only make Tang Ran realize more clearly that he is redundant to his parents.But he still insisted on doing so, masochistically.

Tang Ran bought a box ticket.Four beds, besides him, there is a couple with a little boy.The child was about five or six years old, and he talked non-stop along the way. His parents listened to him with a smile, and the family looked very happy.

Tang Ran was very upset in his heart, but it was hard to show it.Coincidentally, the train stopped at a certain station again.He simply took his luggage and got out of the car.

This station is not big, but there are many people.The weather was extremely hot, Tang Ran was carrying a schoolbag and a suitcase, and was squeezed in the crowd until he could hardly breathe.

After finally walking out of the station, Tang Ran hurriedly hailed a taxi.The air conditioner was running in the car, and the cool air hit him, and he let out a long breath.

"Where are you going?" The driver saw Tang Ran sweating and handed him a piece of paper.

"Thank you." Tang Ran took the paper over, "I don't know where to go. Is there any residence nearby that I can rent?" Cold and unpopular.

"I really don't know that."

"Then help me find a hotel, a clean one will do."

"Success." The driver started the car.

"Come to travel?"

"Almost." Tang Ran looked out through the window. There were farmlands on both sides of the road, and the fields were full of green.

"How did tourism come here? We don't have much to do here, but there is a famous ancient town in the county next to it. Did you go the wrong way?"

"I just wander around, I don't have to go to the scenic spot." Tang Ran smiled.

"That's it..." The driver rubbed his chin, "We don't have any scenic spots here, but there are quite a lot of snacks..."

This driver has the common characteristics of all taxi drivers and talks a lot.It never stops.

Tang Ran listened to him while looking at the scenery outside the window.Farmland slowly disappeared, and buildings began to appear.

After almost an hour like this, the car finally stopped.

"Just here. This hotel is not bad. My relatives stayed here last time." The driver pointed out.

"Okay." Tang Ran was already tired after staying on the train for so long.Now, after listening to him talk all the way, I feel my head hurting, and now I can be counted as having arrived.

"how much is it?"

The driver glanced at his watch, "42, you can give it [-]."

Tang Ran took the schoolbag and was about to pay, but found that the zipper of the schoolbag was open.His heart skipped a beat, and he quickly flipped through his schoolbag, and sure enough, the wallet was gone.

The driver kept watching Tang Ran's movements from the rearview mirror, "You don't have money with you, do you?"

"I lost my wallet."

"Lost your wallet? Don't you want to renege on your debt." The driver's face sank, completely losing the enthusiasm just now.

"I still have money in the box. Open the trunk and I'll get it for you." Tang Ran's wallet is not big, and he is more cautious. Bank cards and extra cash are placed in the box.

He got out of the car, took the money from the box, and returned to the car, but didn't pay the money immediately, "You take me to the police station first, and then give it together when we get there."

The driver might also realize that his tone was too harsh just now, so he started talking to Tang Ran again. "Go to the police station? Do you have a lot of money in your wallet? It's probably useless to report the crime."

Tang Ran ignored him, and the driver finally calmed down seeing that Tang Ran's expression was not good.

After reporting the case, it was already an hour later.

Originally, when people heard him say that they just lost a wallet, they didn't want to talk to him at all. Tang Ran had no choice but to lie and say that there was an ancient coin worth tens of thousands in the wallet.

"What do you do with antiques in your purse?".

"The old man at home gave it to me, insisting that I put it in my bag, saying that it can make money." Tang Ran nonsense.

"Is it really an ancient coin?" The female policeman gave him a suspicious look, "Is it fake?"

"The ancestors have uploaded it for many years, so it cannot be faked."

Originally, the policeman still didn't believe it, but Tang Ran was good-looking and sincere, so he finally let go

"Come here and register, don't lie to me."

"How could it be?" Tang Ran hurriedly followed behind her to take notes.

As a student of the law department, this kind of behavior is definitely a violation of the law.Tang Ran kept thinking while taking notes.But what can be done?A wallet with ancient coins is a fake, but a photo is real.It was his sixth birthday, when Tang Hui and Su Rong took him to the playground to play, and it was the only photo of the family of three that he could find.

"We will notify you as soon as we have news, but don't get your hopes up too much." The police said when they sent him out.Tang Ran smiled bitterly and thanked her.He knew the chances were slim, but he still wanted to give it a try.

This police station is located on a sloping street. Probably because of the hot weather, there are no people on the street, but there are a few dogs leaning against the tree, but they are too hot to bark.

Tang Ran waited at the gate of the police station for a while, but there was no car passing by, so he simply dragged the box up, there was an intersection above, it might be easier to take a taxi.

The intersection looked not far away, the sun was high, and Tang Ran's luggage was too heavy to walk fast. After finally reaching it, he saw that it was crowded with people, and it turned out to be a film crew filming.

The scenery in R is very good, and from time to time, the crew will come to take pictures. Tang Ran has seen many scenes like this, but he is not very curious.I just feel that I am unlucky. The traffic here is so heavy that it is difficult to find a car. It seems that I have to walk a while.

Tang Ran said sorry while pushing out from the crowd.He had just walked two steps when he heard someone shout, "Student, please stop." He didn't care, just kept walking, and finally squeezed out. Just as he was about to speed up his pace, someone grabbed his hand .

It was a boy, about his age, with very fair skin. Under the sun, Tang Ran felt that he would melt away in a second.He probably ran a little too fast, and he kicked before he said, "Why are you walking so fast? I can't even call you." His tone was natural and familiar, and the hand holding Tang Ran had obvious Sweaty and sticky, but Tang Ran didn't find it annoying.

"busy?"

"I'm from the crew just now. I'm short of an extra. Can you come and help me?"

"Ah?" Tang Ran didn't expect this reason, and was momentarily stunned.

"It won't be too much trouble, just stand." He didn't give Tang Ran a chance to refuse, and dragged Tang Ran over.
