After hearing Ling Yuan's words, Ah Cheng's tears became even more violent and he couldn't stop, he was extremely sad.

Ling Yuan looked at his tears and continued quickly: "Ah Cheng, listen to me, the one lying there now is a bad mother who doesn't love you. She doesn't love you. Everything she does is hurting you. You, you know? She beats you, abuses you, keeps you from school, it's against the law, and she doesn't love you."

"But Ah Cheng, don't worry, now this bad mother has been subdued by the good mother. The good mother beat the bad mother away for you, so the bad mother is lying here now. The good mother loves you, you have to remember, the good mother is very Love you."

Ah Cheng was crying out of breath. After hearing Ling Yuan's words, he sobbed and asked: "Then good mother, where did she go? She will still come back and find me?"

Ling Yuan wiped his tears for him, and told him: "The good mother beat the bad mother away, so she was too tired. She went to rest in another place. She built a house there, and you will live with her later. But Now the house has not been built yet, many years later, when the house is built, Ah Cheng will be able to find her."

After hearing what he said, Ah Cheng nodded half-understanding, and sniffed his nose.

At this time the police also arrived, Ling Yuan followed to the police station and made some records, it was already past 2 in the morning, Ah Cheng was sleeping on the sofa in the reception room with red and swollen eyes, Ling Yuan looked back at the sleeping Ah Cheng Cheng asked the policeman in a low voice: "Then what about this child?"

The policeman also sighed, and looked at Ah Cheng with his head: "Let's sleep in the police station tonight, and I will ask the police station where their hometown is to check their household registration after work tomorrow to see if there are any family members. Try to get in touch with your family."

Ling Yuan frowned and said, "I heard from neighbors that there should be no relatives or friends in my hometown."

The policeman froze for a moment, and said, "Well, no matter what, let's look it up, just in case, but if you really can't find it, then you have to contact the orphanage."

Ling Yuan was silent.

It's getting late, he should go home, and he has to go to work tomorrow.

"Okay, it's okay, you can go back first, and I will contact you if there is anything." The policeman said with a smile.

Ling Yuan nodded, and looked back at Ah Cheng again.He was so small, but when he fell asleep, he frowned, not knowing what he was dreaming about.

Ling Yuan was lying on the bed, his wet hair stained the pillow, and he couldn't sleep.Ah Cheng's small figure appeared in front of his eyes, looking at him with big eyes red and swollen from crying, a little timid but full of trust.

Ah Cheng stood alone on a lonely planet, and met Ling Yuan on the boat like a drowning man.He didn't dare to ask Ling Yuan to keep him. In fact, it took all his courage just to ask Ling Yuan to go to his house to save his mother.

Ling Yuan believes that Ah-Cheng should have no other relatives, and the orphanage is the inevitable destination.

He thought about adoption.

But what does he do to support him? The house is rented, not to mention the car, and the salary is not high when he first started working. What's more, the most important thing is that he has not yet married. There is nothing to do about it alone.

Ling Yuan turned over and sat up irritably. He walked to the window and opened the curtains, even wanting to smoke a cigarette.

Looking quietly out of the window for a while, Ling Yuan adjusted his overly anxious and depressed mood.

He comforted himself that the orphanage was not necessarily a bad result, he could visit him anytime and give him more care.And although Ah Cheng is a bit older, he has clear logic, he is a smart and kind child, he will be liked, maybe he can find a good family, and I will help him check it out.

Sitting so quietly, the sky slowly dawned.He checked the time and decided to call the director to explain the situation and ask for a leave.He decided to go to the police station to accompany Ah Cheng first, and then wait for the police to make further arrangements.

Arriving at the police station, the policeman on duty yesterday had already left work. Ling Yuan explained his identity to the new policeman, and said that he wanted to accompany Ah Cheng first, so he was taken to the reception room again.

"Don't worry, the child is still asleep. There will be no problem here. We will arrange for someone to check the child's household registration in a while." The policeman said, leading Ling Yuan to the door of the reception room.

But as soon as the door was opened, both of them froze.

The sleeping child that the police said just now was still asleep. He sat quietly on the sofa with his knees hugged, motionless and silent, with only emptiness and fear in his eyes.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, Ah Cheng looked up, and when he saw Ling Yuan, tears welled up in his eyes. He wanted to call him, but he didn't dare. He wasn't sure if he had caused Ling Yuan a lot of trouble.

He knew his mother was dead, he thought, and he was a burden, and all these grown-ups walking around were wondering where he was going.

He's scared, he doesn't know where he's going, he's ten years old, and his bad mother kept him in the house for eight years and never let him out, and he has no one he knows, and no one in the world loves him.

He thought of the good mother who seemed to have appeared only in his distant and vague memory. He wanted to find her, but his uncle said that the good mother can't see him now, and her house hasn't been built yet.

Ling Yuan looked at Ah Cheng curled up in the corner lost and lonely like an abandoned little beast, raised his head to see that his big eyes were filled with tears again, and his heart ached.

He walked towards Ah Cheng gently, sat beside him, raised his hand to gently caress Ah Cheng's back, half embraced him in his arms, and asked him with a smile, "Are you awake? Are you hungry?"

Ling Yuan's palm was big and warm, Ah Cheng felt the warmth of Ling Yuan's body, the tears that were about to fall could no longer bear it, he curled his lips and finally cried quietly.

When he woke up in the morning and found that Ling Yuan was gone, his fear was soothed, he stretched out his little hand and secretly grabbed the corner of Ling Yuan's clothes, calling him: "Uncle...Uncle..."

Ling Yuan wiped away his tears, patted his head lightly, and said, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, uncle is here, are you hungry? Uncle will take you to have breakfast?"

Hearing this, Ah Cheng burst into tears even more. He was always hungry, and he was never asked if he was hungry.The bad mother always checks all the food when she goes out, and if she finds that there is less, she will beat him severely when she comes back. Only occasionally, the mother-in-law next door will stuff him with a biscuit or two through the crack of the door. I can't bear to throw it away, so I must pick it up carefully from the ground and eat it.

Ling Yuan asked the police if they could take Ah Cheng out.After the police agreed, he walked out of the police station with Ah Cheng.

He planned to take Ah Cheng to have breakfast first, then buy some clothes, take them home to take a shower, and then go to the hospital for a physical examination.

There are many bruises on Ah Cheng's body, and he is so thin that he hardly looks like a ten-year-old child. I just hope that the long-term abuse will not cause him any major problems.

Sitting in a breakfast shop, Ah Cheng drank a bowl of porridge almost greedily. This porridge was given to him only after Ling Yuan let the whole bowl cool down.

Ling Yuan watched Ah Cheng's face almost buried in the bowl, and sighed silently. When the white porridge was first served, Ah Cheng didn't dare to move, but just looked straight at the white porridge, and then secretly glanced at him.

Ling Yuan felt sour, and told him that this was the porridge ordered for him, so Ah Cheng reached out and picked up the bowl to drink the porridge.He didn't care if his mouth was red from being burned, as if he was afraid that the porridge would be gone in a second.

Ling Yuan felt sad and distressed when he saw it, fearing that he would burn his esophagus and rush to grab the porridge bowl, and warm him carefully before he dared to give the bowl to him.

Ah Cheng drank plain porridge, didn't want any side dishes, and was very satisfied. Ling Yuan peeled an egg for him, and after peeling it, he called Ah Cheng softly.

Ah Cheng was stunned for a moment, then immediately put down the porridge bowl, lowered his head, and tugged at the hem of his clothes in bewilderment.

Ling Yuan was also stunned by his actions, and it took him a while to realize that Ah Cheng probably thought that he just called him to tell him not to drink porridge, so he immediately told him: "We will drink porridge later, let's drink porridge first." Would you like to eat eggs?"

Ah Cheng looked up at him, blinked, then looked at the egg in his hand, and swallowed.

Although it is a simple hard-boiled egg, this is something I have never eaten before.

Ah Cheng carefully followed Ling Yuan's hand and took a bite of the egg. The egg white was tender and bouncy, and there was a special umami taste in his mouth.He swallowed the first bite, and carefully took a second bite.

Well... the texture and taste of this mouthful...

Seeing Ah Cheng's tangled expression, Ling Yuan laughed out loud and asked him, "Do you not like egg yolks?"

Ah Cheng shook his head quickly, but secretly wanted to nod in his heart.Thinking of this, he immediately shook his head more vigorously. He is still hungry and still wants to eat. Uncle must not take it away.

Seeing how dizzy he was shaking his head vigorously, Ling Yuan smiled more clearly.He put the egg on top of the porridge bowl, squeezed it lightly, squeezed the egg yolk into the porridge bowl, crushed the egg yolk and white porridge with a spoon and mixed them together.

He handed the spoon to Ah Cheng again and said, "Ah Cheng is good, eat slowly with a spoon. It won't have a strong taste if you put it in the porridge."

Ah Cheng took a spoon to scoop up the turned yellow porridge and drank it silently. While eating the egg white that Ling Yuan brought to his mouth, he blinked his big eyes and secretly looked at the smiling Ling Yuan, thinking: Uncle, why is this so? , making fun of me.

But uncle is really kind.
