What Zhang Xiuyan was worried about did not happen.

Early the next morning, Warner Cairns' parents arrived in a hurry.As soon as they got off the plane, they went straight to the shelter.When they saw Warner Keynes sleeping in the triple room, the young couple burst into tears.This is their child!The child was so small when he left them, but he must have looked heavier than he did now.

Warner's mother nervously checked Warner's whole body, afraid that he would be beaten in that terrible place.Although there were no traces of the beatings after the inspection, Warner's mother still shed tears even more fiercely.This must be starving, right?The ribs on the chest can be clearly counted one by one, and they are so thin!

Warner woke up from his sleep in a daze, and saw a hazy figure in front of him.So beautiful, so familiar, just like in a dream.With a wow, he threw himself into his mother's arms and cried: "Mom, am I dreaming again, am I dreaming of you again, I miss you so much, I will never disobey you again, you Come and take me home, okay?"

Warner's mother felt her heart was breaking.She patted Warner's back and comforted in a hoarse voice: "Baby, it's okay, my little baby, it's okay. Look, Dad is here too, and no one can hurt you again in the future."

Warner looked to the side with tears in his eyes, and saw a tall figure standing next to him, finally lying in his mother's arms with peace of mind.He cried and said: "They are terrible. When they find someone asking for help from others, they will beat them. Once someone went to the uncle of the policeman, but he was caught again, his leg was broken, and no one treated him. He kept yelling It hurts, but I can't help him. Mom, I'm very scared." It took him a lot of determination to throw a distress signal to Yuan Ning and his group.It was such a horrible day that he couldn't bear it any longer.

Warner's mother felt that it hurt even to breathe.

Her child is still so young!Why let him suffer this!

Warner's mother hugged Warner tightly.

Warner's father also stepped forward to give Warner a hug, then turned and walked out, found the communication room in the hospital, and made a few fierce phone calls.He almost roared angrily to the other end of the phone, and when he finished venting, the tall man covered his face and let the tears fall silently.

They have been searching for so many years, and even learned most of the Chinese they didn't learn since they were young, in order to find Warner.They are almost 30 years old, but they have never had a second child. They don't want the second child to be born in pain, and they don't want Warner to return to find that there is a new addition to the family.

The longer the time gap, the slimmer the hope.

The country of Hua is really too big, so big that you may not be able to visit it all in your lifetime.

Now they finally found Warner.

They finally found their baby.

Unable to bear it any longer, Warner's father cried bitterly in the communication room of the hospital.

As soon as Deputy Director Liu stepped into the inspection office, a small patrolman ran over and said, "Director Liu, someone is looking for you! A couple with a child are the parents of the case that was handled two days ago. It's a foreign Chinese."

Deputy Director Liu was taken aback for a moment.I didn't expect the Foreign Affairs Office to handle things so quickly!He straightened his collar and walked in.Before he could speak, his hands were firmly held, and the other party shouted gratefully: "You are Director Liu, right? We are Warner's parents, thank you so much."

Facing the grateful eyes of the other party, Deputy Director Liu was a little dazed.Most parents in this world still love their children, and there are only a very small number of people who abandon their children because something happened to them.Thinking of the child with a broken leg still lying in the hospital, Deputy Director Liu was a little worried.The child's family has never shown up. First, it may be because they have not been contacted for too long, and second, it may be...his parents heard that his leg was broken and they don't want him anymore.

History seemed to reappear before our eyes.

Hearing the thanks from Warner's parents, Deputy Director Liu looked at the other party's decent attire, and said, "Mr. Keynes, you don't need to thank me, this is what I should do." He paused, "If you really What do you want in return, I have a request."

Warner's father said: "Please tell me!"

Deputy Director Liu said: "Among the group of children rescued this time, two were seriously ill, and one of them was amputated, but his parents have not yet appeared. I hope you can help this child."

Warner's father originally thought that Deputy Director Liu would make a request related to himself, but he didn't expect that Deputy Director Liu would say such a thing.He couldn't help being awed, and he firmly held Deputy Director Liu's hand and said: "Huaguo is so lucky to have someone like you. Don't worry, I will help the children rescued this time to the end, and I will set up a A relief fund, so that more children in need will not be delayed due to lack of money."

Deputy Director Liu said: "I'm not that great, I just want to feel at ease." He said ashamedly, "I rescued a similar child more than ten years ago when I first started working, but his parents I think he is disabled and I don’t want him anymore. He was still very young at the time, but I couldn’t continue to help him because I was going to be transferred soon—I had to send him to an orphanage.” Talking about the past , his heart was heavy.

Warner's father said sincerely: "No, it is very great that you can do this. You have done your duty for so many years. Relief work is originally the work of welfare institutions and society."

While talking here, the little patrolman suddenly ran in and shouted anxiously: "Liu Ting! Liu Ting! Someone is coming!"

Deputy Director Liu put on a straight face: "What do you look like in a panic? Speak up!"

The little patrolman took a deep breath to calm down.He said as calmly as possible: "Liu Ting, someone outside brought you a pennant! That pennant is very beautiful, come out quickly!"

Warner's father looked curious, and said, "The pennant?"

The little patrolman knows that foreign countries may not like this.He explained to the three foreign friends: "The people Liu Ting rescued made a pennant to thank him. The pennant usually has words of thanks and praise written on it, which represent the gratitude in the heart of the other party."

Warner's father and Warner's mother looked at each other and understood each other's thoughts.Warner's father said, "Since it's a pennant, Director Liu, please go out, we'll take a look."

It wasn't the first time for Deputy Director Liu to receive a pennant, so he wasn't too excited.He went out with the patrolman.

Seeing the young man standing outside, Deputy Director Liu froze for a moment, somehow feeling familiar.He has been handling cases for many years and has seen more people than crucian carp crossing the river. He can't remember where he saw them.

Deputy Director Liu asked hesitantly, "Who are you?"

The young man was tall and handsome. Seeing the puzzled look on Deputy Director Liu's face, he was agitated and pulled up his trouser legs in public.

All eyes are on his right leg.It wasn't a real leg, but a prosthetic.

Deputy Director Liu remembered.This is the child, the child who has been popping up in his heart these days.More than ten years have passed, and the child is nearly thirty years old, and he seems to be doing well.Still alive, alive and well.Deputy Director Liu excitedly stepped forward and pressed the young man's shoulder, and swept the young man up and down, with tears in his eyes: "You have grown so big."

The scene when he first came out to work came to his mind.At that time, he was not so utilitarian, and he hadn't thought about trying his best to climb up. He was just a fledgling kid, and he couldn't help beating his chest and yelling at injustice and injustice.The superiors asked him to be responsible for sending the rescued child home, but the family held the second child and kicked him and the child out of the house, saying that this was not their child at all, and they should not throw a crippled child to them.

That is their child!How could they say the word "disabled"?

When the newspaper reporter came to interview, he did not follow the instructions above, but broke the matter out.As a result, it was not mentioned in the report, and he was transferred to another place to sit on the bench.

At that time, an old man persuaded him that this was a great contribution, how could such a stain be caused?

stain!

A matter related to a child's life was wiped out as a blemish.He sent the child to the orphanage and cried bitterly in front of the child.He is just a young man who has just stepped into society, how can he get used to these cruel rules of survival.

Slowly, he was promoted; slowly, he got used to it; slowly, he forgot why he gritted his teeth to climb up in the first place.

Now this "why" suddenly came to him again.

Deputy Director Liu burst into tears.

He understood that the restlessness these days was due to this long-forgotten original intention churning in the bottom of his heart to get out.Deputy Director Liu hugged the young man, and said repeatedly: "Grow up, it's good to grow up."

The young man said: "I came here on a business trip yesterday. I heard that a gangster group was attacked here, and I immediately thought of you. I didn't expect to ask someone, and then I looked for reports related to you. You did it!" He also had tears in his eyes, "Uncle Liu, I have been looking for you all these years. I know that you were transferred because of me, and I feel very sad. After leaving the orphanage, I heard After a long time, I went to the south and was lucky enough to meet my adoptive father. He helped me install a prosthesis and taught me how to start a business. Ten years later, I saved a lot of money with the money my adoptive father gave me, married a wife, and had children. With the kids, life is getting by."

Deputy Director Liu choked up and said, "That's good."

"Over the years, I am most grateful to you. It is you who saved me from those kidnappers," the young man wiped his tears. "When I go back, I will bring my wife and children to see you. You should Do you have kids too?"

"Yes, yes, one son and one daughter." Deputy Director Liu said, "My son is about to take the college entrance examination, and my daughter just entered her first year of high school."

After some conversation, the young man solemnly handed the banner to Deputy Director Liu, and asked the people who came together to take a photo of himself and Deputy Director Liu.

Witnessing this scene that has been here for more than ten years, everyone present has a lot of emotions in their hearts.On weekdays, he felt that Deputy Director Liu was too utilitarian, and his opinion of Deputy Director Liu has also changed a lot. The new policemen are full of longing and expectation for their future work.

Director Meng didn't come out. Hearing the commotion outside, he slammed the ashtray on the table.

Deputy Director Liu was no different from him.

It's completely different now.

After this incident, Deputy Director Liu won the hearts of everyone.

The inspection hall in the afternoon was even more lively.It turned out that Warner's parents had someone rush to make a pennant, called reporters from the newspaper and TV station, and solemnly thanked Deputy Director Liu in front of a large number of media.

Director Meng was quickly found by his superiors, saying that his position should be changed, and then he was moved to another city. He was still the director, but it was a small mountainous city, and his powers were cut by half.

Deputy Director Liu was promoted, and he took off the adverbs that he had been with him for several years, but he seemed much calmer, and he did not have the smug complacency after being promoted before.

Director Liu took Warner's parents to Zhang's house.

Director Liu dare not take the credit for Zhang's father and son.And even if he wanted to, he couldn't. Warner Keynes was not dumb, and the kid could talk. After the reunion, Warner's parents learned from him how he was rescued.

Mr. Zhang personally received Warner's parents.

Warner's parents expressed their gratitude to Mr. Zhang and offered to meet Zhang Xiuyan and Yuan Ning first.

Mr. Zhang naturally would not refuse.

Zhang Xiuyan was answering difficult questions for Yuan Ning during his self-study, when Aunt Shen came up to say that the Warner family was here, Zhang Xiuyan led Yuan Ning downstairs.

When Warner saw Yuan Ning and Zhang Xiuyan, his eyes moved. He ran up to Yuan Ning and mustered up the courage to say in broken Chinese, "Thank you, my name is Warner Cairns."

Yuan Ning said, "No, you're welcome, my name is Yuan Ning."

Warner opened his arms and hugged Yuan Ning, learning to read word by word: "Yuan, Ning."

Zhang Xiuyan frowned, and said hello to Warner's parents: "Hello."

Warner's parents looked at the pair of outstanding brothers and understood why their son asked them for help.These two brothers, one is cold and the other is hot, one is hard and the other is soft. The small one can make people feel close, and the big one can make people feel at ease. Standing together makes people feel that they are very good people to call for help.

Warner's parents stood up and thanked Zhang Xiuyan.

Zhang Xiuyan sat down and said, "If possible, we also have a favor and hope you can help."

Warner's parents cheered up: "We will definitely try our best to help."

Zhang Xiuyan told the progress of the current investigation.

After hearing the situation of Zhang's family, Warner's parents felt a sense of sympathy for each other.Their child was found, but Zhang's child was still living in a foreign country.No one can understand this pain better than them. In the past few years, thinking about the unknown life and death of their children, they can't sleep well every night.The Zhang family encountered such a thing, but they were able to raise their two children so well. What an amazing family!

Warner's father promised: "I will definitely do my best to help you pay attention."

Zhang Xiuyan said, "Thank you."

It is not enough for the Zhang family to search for the traces of their younger brother in a vast foreign country. They must weave a wider and denser net in order to obtain more information.

After the Warner family left, everyone's eyes fell on Yuan Ning.Yuan Ning leaned against Zhang Xiuyan.Ms. Xue said with a smile: "Our Ningning is a lucky star. With Ningning around, everything will be better."

Yuan Ning said, "Brother is great." He boasted, "Brother can speak English, and it can be seen that Warner can't speak Chinese! Brother English is so good, I can't even understand it."

Ms. Xue couldn't help looking at Zhang Xiuyan.

Zhang Xiuyan said: "I guessed it too." He paused, "He scratched out 'SOS' on the stone. I think he is so young, and he hasn't learned this in China. He is probably an overseas person. That's why I tried to communicate with him in English." Unexpectedly, I really tried it.

Ms. Xue suddenly realized.

Zhang Xiuyan led Yuan Ning upstairs and continued to tutor Yuan Ning with her homework.After the day's study was completed, Yuan Ning closed the book and said, "Can you teach me English, brother?"

Zhang Xiuyan looked at Yuan Ning for a while, and then said: "Yes." Looking at Warner who is living in a foreign country, he thought of his younger brother, and also thought of Yuan Ning.He will definitely take a good look at Yuan Ning and not let Yuan Ning get lost.But if something like that really happened, the most important thing is to teach Yuan Ning how to save himself—and Zhang Xiuling and Zhang Xiuwen must also be taught well.Zhang Xiuyan nodded, "Start tomorrow." He has to go to the library today to sort out the ways of calling for help and basic expressions in various countries, at least to sort out the more commonly used languages.Really want to meet, but also considered a bit more hope.

Seeing that Zhang Xiuyan was lost in thought, Yuan Ning didn't interrupt, but ran to talk to Mimosa.Mimosa heard about Warner and said sadly: "I don't know if the little master will encounter such a thing."

Yuan Ning couldn't help but also worried.

Seeing this, Mimosa comforted him in turn: "Maybe the little master will meet a kind person too!"

Yuan Ning said firmly: "I will definitely!"

In the afternoon Zhang Xiuyan took Yuan Ning to the library.

There are not many people in the library and it is very quiet.This is not the first time Yuan Ning has come here, but every time he comes, he feels that this place is very big.He was led in by Zhang Xiuyan, holding a small notebook for recording in his hand.Zhang Xiuyan was a fast reader, and when he needed an excerpt, he would stop and give Yuan Ning a range, and let Yuan Ning copy by the side, which was regarded as exercise for Yuan Ning.

Zhang Xiuyan scanned through the introductory books in various languages, and after confirming that the content he had been exposed to before was correct, he asked Yuan Ning to sort out the "textbooks" to be used tomorrow.

Yuan Ning admired Zhang Xiuyan very much.

Why does the eldest brother seem to know everything!

The two left the library one after another. Before they had gone far, a young man wearing black-rimmed glasses chased him out.Panting from running, he stopped Zhang Xiuyan and Yuan Ning and shouted: "Hello, I saw that you can understand Italian, right?" He had been paying attention to Zhang Xiuyan and Yuan Ning for a long time.At first, I thought they were here to play, but after watching for a long time, I realized that Zhang Xiuyan could really understand a lot of foreign languages.

Zhang Xiuyan replied truthfully: "Know a little, but it's not considered proficient."

The young man took out a piece of paper from his pocket, on which he copied a passage: "Can you translate this passage for me? I can't translate it accurately, and the teacher doesn't care about me anymore. Alas, it's a bit difficult. There are many professional terms. I wonder if you can understand it. It's related to autism!"

Zhang Xiuyan took the paper, looked at it a few times, and said, "I'll try it." He returned to the library with the young man and asked Yuan Ning to find an Italian dictionary just in case.

The young man hurriedly said: "I will go, I will go, I will go!"

When the young man turned back with the dictionary, Zhang Xiuyan had already written a translation on another piece of paper.The writing posture was so correct that the young man was ashamed. When he got closer, the young man felt that he didn't have to work anymore. The handwriting was so beautiful that it was even more beautiful than the printed ones!This boy looks like he is only in his teens, how can he write so well?

Zhang Xiuyan said: "Actually, it's not difficult." He handed the translated content to the young man.

Youth feel they have been hurt.

Seeing that Yuan Ning was also looking at him, Zhang Xiuyan said a few more words: "Grandma is a university professor. She has research literature on Italian, and her major happens to be about the same. I have watched it since I was a child, so I can understand it naturally." And Ms. Xue After his illness, he also consulted a lot of foreign language materials, hoping to learn more about the research on mental illness.

What can be learned is not scary, what is scary is the unknown and what cannot be mastered.

It turned out to be a family history!The young man was a little balanced and said gratefully: "Thank you very much. There is no related research in China. I want to write some related reports. I went abroad for interviews some time ago and learned a lot about this aspect. In fact, there are quite a few children with autism in China, and if the condition is not serious, they can be well guided and helped to live a normal life.”

Yuan Ning was a little curious.

The young man couldn't help but tell Yuan Ning what he saw in a foreign treatment institution.He said: "Foreign countries have done a good job in this area. Although the disease has only been officially named for a few years, there is already a complete treatment system. I also saw that children as old as you are led by the head of the school to do it there. Volunteer, help them do some research. I also took a copy of the research results and got permission from there to publish it in newspapers. It’s a pity that they don’t want me to publish the photos, otherwise there will be more things to write.” He paused Dun added, "The management in this area is very strict in foreign countries, and you can't publish relevant photos at will without getting a written reply from the other party."

Yuan Ning opened his eyes.

The young man exchanged names with Yuan Ning and Zhang Xiuyan, and also reported his newspaper address before rushing back to sort out the manuscript.

After waiting for the bus, the young man thought about it for a while, and said puzzledly: "It's the first time I've seen you, so why do you feel a little familiar? It stands to reason that such two outstanding children should have left a deep impression on them..."

The bus wobbled, shaking him back to the newspaper office.

Because he was busy with the manuscript, he also put the inexplicable sense of familiarity behind him.

Saint Lorenborg.

Pullman family.

"This is for you." The man handed over the envelope containing the photos, "You took some of the photos when you were volunteering, and you will give them to the school, and you will keep some of them as souvenirs."

The boy took the envelope, opened it, and saw that the first photo was taken at the gate of the institution, and there was a sign next to the gate, with the name of the institution on it—【St. Lorenburg Rehabilitation Center】
