An Lan of Rebirth

As soon as he entered the door, there was a smell of traditional Chinese medicine. The old man was half lying on the bed, mending clothes with reading glasses.There is only a bed, a desk, and two stools in the room, and the furnishings are quite simple.But the room was cleaned exceptionally clean, and the walls were covered with paintings and artifacts that, with their rough marks, should have been the work of children.Looking at the walls alone, it looks chaotic, but looking at the whole room together, I feel that everything is so orderly.

"Grandma, Brother An Lan is here to see you." Xu Rui said loudly.

"An Lan?" The old man obviously hadn't reacted yet, and it took him a while to put down the clothes in his hand and call An Lan over.

"Grandma, how are you?" An Lan asked, taking the old man's wrinkled hand and holding it in his palm.

"Silly boy, it's inevitable that you will have some minor problems when you get old, but grandma is tough, don't worry." The old man was still so amiable.

"Brother Anlan, why don't you sit with grandma for a while, I'm going out to take care of other children." Xu Rui said with a smile, and then left the room.

"Grandma, why are there only a few of you here, and where are the others?" An Lan asked. She hardly saw anyone along the way, and the courtyard was very deserted. The children and the administrator should not be in the room either.

"Have you met Xiao Nan and Xiao Xi?" the old man asked.

"Yes, they are very cute." An Lan said, "Grandma, you haven't answered my question yet."

"Have you forgotten? Ever since those university student volunteers set up classes in the village, every time the children in the courtyard go to class, Xiao Xi and Xiao Nan have just arrived. I want them to get used to it for a while before going. Xu Rui should have I went, but my body made him really worried, so I stayed to take care of him. Alas, I hope it doesn’t delay his studies.” The old man sighed, “He is a sensible child, I hope he will be as successful as you in the future. "

"Don't worry, grandma, he will definitely not let you down." An Lan said, generally few people at this age are willing to adopt, they can only rely on themselves, but according to his intuition, Xu Rui will not be bad in the future.

"Who knows, your grades are very good, but it's a pity that you can barely go to the police academy because the school can't afford tuition fees. Grandma feels sorry for you." The old man held An Lan's hand, his eyes full of guilt.

"Grandma, I am very satisfied to be able to grow up here." An Lan said with a smile, this sentence is from his heart, if Kay had grown up here, maybe there would be a completely different ending.

"Stupid boy." The old man raised his hand, and An Lan almost reflexively wanted to avoid it at that moment, but in the end he stopped his action and let the old man put his hand on his face.

After a while, the old man came to his senses suddenly, and asked quickly, "Xiaolan, why are you here?" She suddenly remembered that it should be class time now, and besides, according to the school's regulations, An Lan can't leave school casually.

"I miss you." An Lan said softly. Although it was only a temporary decision, he felt that the trip was worthwhile after coming here.

"Xiao Lan, tell grandma, did something happen to you?" The old man took An Lan's hand and asked seriously.

"Grandma, I..." An Lan hesitated, even if he dropped out of school was just a pretense, whether he could go back was still to be discussed, he didn't know whether he should tell the truth to the elder who cared about him.

The old man didn't press further, but just quietly waited for An Lan's reply.

"Grandma, in fact, I am about to participate in a special training camp. This training camp is very special and requires strict confidentiality. Because the special training time will be very long and I cannot communicate with the outside world during the period, the counselor specially approved me to come back once. We can't even meet each other." An Lan thought it over and chose ambiguous words.Although the counselor promised to keep him secret, it is well known that he dropped out of school. If grandma came to the school to look for him next time, even if the counselor deliberately concealed it, it would be unavoidable.At that time, he was already in Cao Ying, so he couldn't tell grandma the truth. Instead of making her sad at that time, it's better to make up a reason to hide it for as long as possible.

"Is there any danger?" The old man's first reaction was of course the child's safety. She had never heard such special training, but she believed that An Lan would not lie to her.

"Grandma, since I choose this path, I will stick to it even if it is dangerous. But don't worry, I have grown up and will take good care of myself." An Lan comforted.

"Okay, okay." The old man seemed very relieved, although he was still worried, he still showed an encouraging smile on his face.

The two talked for a while, and the topic was more about the old man's exhortations and exhortations to the children.Time passed by unknowingly, and considering that he would meet many people if he stayed too late, it would be better if he was not the original owner.So after another round of nagging from the old man ended, An Lan asked to leave on the grounds of meeting time.Although the old man disagreed, he finally nodded with a smile.

"Grandma, this is what I bought for the children." Before parting, An Lan handed over the bag in her hand, which was nothing more than some snacks and toys, and the old man accepted it with a smile.

"And this money is a little bit of my heart, please accept it." An Lan took out an envelope from the inner bag, which contained a thick stack of banknotes.

"Where do you have so much money?" The old man grabbed An Lan's hand and refused to ask for anything.The reason why she accepted An Lan's things was because the children really needed them, and the second was because she knew that An Lan was working and studying at school and had scholarships available. Although these things cost a lot, An Lan was able to afford them safely.However, no matter how hard An Lan tried, she couldn't make such a large amount of money in a short period of time, which made her doubt the source of the money.

"Grandma, didn't I say that I want to participate in special training? From that moment on, I have been considered a police officer, and these are just allowances. I paid all the allowances during the training period in advance, and I don't need them anyway. Don't worry, this The source of the money is absolutely serious." Seeing the doubts in the old man's heart, An Lan quickly explained, although the explanation was a bit far-fetched, it was the only reason.

"But..." The old man still hesitated.

"Grandma, my biggest wish is to make a little contribution to this place. Even if it's for those children, you should accept it." An Lan put the money in the old man's hands solemnly, and said sincerely.This time the old man no longer refused, but just lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Grandma, I'm leaving, you promise to be healthy." Leaving everything to the old man, An Lan planned to leave.

"Xiao Lan." As soon as he reached the door, the old man stopped him.

"Huh?" An Lan turned around in surprise.

"The last time someone came to inquire about you, did they ask you later?" the old man asked, with a hint of worry in his eyes.

"Who?" An Lan was a little surprised, he was just an orphan, unless... An Lan's first reaction was the watch, and then it was Zhan Zhenhao's inexplicable words that made him drop out of school, but he quickly reacted and said, "No one Look for me, grandma, you know that the school management is very strict, ordinary people cannot enter the school."

"That's good." The old man seemed relieved, and asked hesitantly, "Does Xiaolan want to know her life experience?"

"No, this is my home, and you are my only relative." An Lan replied without hesitation. It has nothing to do with him being the original owner, and he has no interest in it.

The old man froze for a moment, and finally showed a gratified smile, "Xiao Lan, grandma doesn't understand your so-called training camp, but I hope you remember that this is your home, grandma is looking forward to your return all the time, and no matter what happens, grandma always believes You are a good boy."

These meaningful words made An Lan's back stiff. It seemed that the old man had not spent the past few decades in vain. Although he didn't know how much the old man guessed from his words, An Lan knew that he had no scruples in his heart at this moment.Bowing deeply to the old man as a silent answer, An Lan left the room.

When I came to the place just now again, the two children were still playing there, but Xu Rui didn't know where to go.

"Brother An Lan, are you leaving?" Xiaoxi blinked and pulled An Lan, "Will you come here again?"

"Well, brother is leaving, and he may not come back for a long time." An Lan smiled, knelt down and patted her head.

"Really?" Xiaoxi's face was full of regret, and Xiaonan also ran over and looked at An Lan intently.

"But I will definitely come again. Here, this is for you." An Lan smiled, and took out a small box of marshmallows from her pocket and put it in Xiaoxi's hand.Children's minds are the purest, which can be seen at a glance.

Saying goodbye to the two lovely children, An Lan left.When she came to the gate, An Lan turned her head as if feeling something, and saw the two children whispering together, Xiao Xi poured out some of the candy and gave it to Xiao Nan, but Xiao Nan poured the candy back into the box again, and then Put the whole candy box into Xiaoxi's pocket.Seeing this scene, An Lan smiled. Although the child had hatred in his heart, it was more of warmth, so he can rest assured.

The reason for coming here is just a sudden obsession, like a dream come true.Now that the dream is over, of course it should return to reality.Standing at the entrance of the orphanage, An Lan took out a bank card from his pocket, with a sneer on his lips.In fact, he lied to the old man just now, the special training is nothing but nothing, his current identity is even more unclear and needs to be proved, the so-called advance allowance is completely nonsense.Although the original owner has savings, but not much, it can only be counted as the sum of the bag of things just now, and the money he took out was taken from this card.Originally, I just wanted to reset the password, but I never thought that there would be so much money in the card.An Lan checked the details and found that the money was transferred on time every month, and the first transfer was half a year ago. Through the words of the old man and Zhan Zhenhao, it was confirmed that there was indeed a problem with the original owner.An Lan was not in a hurry to investigate this. He knew that no one would give a large sum of money to irrelevant people for no reason, and those people would definitely come to him.But now he just needs to find a shelter and wait for the group of people to come automatically.

The tip of her nose felt cold, as if something had fallen, An Lan raised her head and found light snow falling from the sky.Perhaps because there was still a trace of nostalgia in his heart, An Lan once again set his sights on the signboard of the orphanage. He had stayed in that orphanage for 15 years until he finally left, but he still couldn't remember the name of the orphanage.As for this family, he remembered the warm name in his heart as soon as he saw it, lily of the valley, a small white flower like a bell, and its flower language: happiness returns.

=======Demarcation Line========

In the room, the man was processing documents on the computer, when a person dressed like an assistant came in.

"Master." The assistant was in awe of the master in front of him.

"Have you found it?" The man asked, putting down the document in his hand.

"Yes, his identity has been confirmed."

"The police? It's so interesting." The man laughed.

"However, according to the latest information we have received, he seems to have dropped out of school."

"What's the reason?"

"Physical reasons, people around him can prove."

"Really? Continue to investigate, I want his recent whereabouts." The man ordered calmly.

"Yes." The assistant bowed respectfully, and then quietly exited without making a sound.

"Physical reasons?" The man said to himself, and in his mind was the glimpse that An Lan showed that day when he was avoiding the car.His slender fingers tapped on the table unconsciously, and the man showed a wicked smile.It seems that the development of the matter is getting more and more interesting. One must know that with such a vigorous skill, how could he drop out of school due to physical reasons?
