Chapter 607 Picked up an amnesiac child

At noon, Li Kailang left the bookstore and went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some seasonings.

"Xu Damao, you are here to buy seasonings as well."

"Li Kailang, yes, if there's nothing left at home, come and buy some, you too."

"Together?"

"Together."

After buying the seasonings, Xu Damao and Li Kailang went back to the yard together.

On the way back to the yard.

"careful!"

Suddenly, a short figure rushed out from the alley next to him.

"Hey hey hey~" Xu Damao was caught off guard and kept swaying the front of the car to avoid it.

"Brake!" Li Kailang shouted, and quickly grabbed Xu Damao's back seat and stopped the bicycle forcefully.

"Almost!"

"Huh~Thanks." Xu Damao let out a long breath.

"Bang!" The little kid seemed to be frightened. His eyes turned white and he slowly fell to the ground.

"Little brat, are you okay?"

Xu Damao was so scared that he got out of the car immediately, and Li Kailang followed to see what was going on.

Judging from his figure, he seemed to be a little boy of five or six years old. He was wearing slightly thick clothes that were covered with stains and dirt, and there were even a few black coal marks on his face.

Looking at the child's pale face, there was no blood on his lips.
The two looked at each other and said, "It looks like this child is a refugee. That shouldn't be the case. Aren't there any refugee children in the city? Aren't they all outside?"

The two looked at each other, wondering about the child's origins.

The two of them didn't discuss for long before the crowd of onlookers gathered around them.

"Tsk, tsk, did someone get killed?"

"I think so. Young man, why don't you look at the road when you ride your bike? You're done."

"Having a bicycle is a big deal, but now someone's dead, let's see what you can do. Don't run away, don't even think about running away after someone's dead."

For a moment, passers-by surrounded the two men to prevent them from killing someone and running away.

Hearing this, Xu Damao became anxious: "Hey, hey, hey, you don't understand, don't talk nonsense. It was obviously this kid who suddenly collided with him. Besides, he didn't hit me."

"If you don't believe me, take a look at this kid and see if he has any injuries on his body."

His explanation did not win anyone's trust. An old lady curled her lips and said, "Hey, I think you killed someone and you don't want to admit it. You are such a shameless person."

"That's right. I see you just don't want to admit it. Everyone has seen it. Don't even think about running away."

"It really wasn't me." For a moment, Xu Damao was speechless and looked anxious.

"Li Kailang, please talk to me."

After checking the child's condition, Li Kailang knew what was going on.

The child was already physically exhausted, and after being frightened by Xu Damao, he fainted from hunger and fear, but woke up after a while.

"Don't worry, you didn't hit the child. This is not your problem. I've seen the child. He just fainted from hunger and fear."

"Let's send him to the police station first. Who knows, maybe this child ran away from someone's home."

"Yes, yes, yes." Li Kailang said, and Xu Damao was enlightened, "Let's go now."

"Who knows if you two are really going to the police station or if you want to escape. We all have to watch them go there to prevent them from sneaking away."

"Yes, add me in!"

Everyone was united in their hatred of the enemy and was determined to take the two men to the police station.

Without paying much attention to them, Li Kailang pretended to take out the kettle and fed the little boy a sip.

After a long drought, it finally rained. Although the little boy was unconscious, he swallowed subconsciously.

Seeing this, Li Kailang fed him some more water, and then stuffed a White Rabbit milk candy into his mouth.

"White Rabbit Milk Candy." When everyone saw the milk candy, they were shocked and smiled bitterly.

Candy is such a precious thing, but they actually fed it to an unknown child. It seems that these two people may not be bad people.

My originally cautious mentality was relaxed a lot after eating this candy.

"Let's go to the police station."

Li Kailang asked Xu Damao to hold the child and push the bicycle to go to the police station together.

Police station.

"That's what happened. Police officer, please check and see whose lost child this is."

After listening to Li Kailang's statement and the testimony of passers-by, the police looked at the child in Xu Damao's arms.

Seeing that he was breathing steadily, he should be fine. Looking at his appearance, he did look like a lost child.

"Hmm~" Perhaps because everyone was staring at him, the child frowned slightly and slowly opened his eyes.

Looking at the pairs of eyes in front of him, the child struggled subconsciously.

"Hey, little brat, don't move. The police are here." Xu Damao hugged him tightly.

Sure enough, as soon as the child saw the police, he immediately relaxed and stopped struggling.

Xu Damao quickly put the child down, fearing that Yi Yi might be accidentally injured.

"Little boy, are you feeling unwell?" the policeman asked softly.

The child remained silent, but shook his head.

"Little boy, where do you live? Have you lost your family? Do you know your parents' names?"

The little boy shook his head gently, his voice hoarse and inaudible: "I don't know, I don't remember."

"What?" The policeman stepped forward and listened.

The little boy repeated it again.

The police continued to ask several questions, but the child just kept saying that he didn't remember and didn't know.

Suddenly, the policeman looked worried: "This is difficult. I don't remember anything."

An uncle guessed: "Could it be that this child was hit and lost his memory?"

Everyone is silent, but this possibility may not be ruled out.

Everyone looked at Xu Damao.

"Why are you looking at me? This kid must not have been hit. He's not hurt at all."

"Maybe he was scared by you, or maybe he lost his memory."

Xu Damao was speechless.

Li Kailang looked at the child, who seemed to be about five or six years old. Logically speaking, children of this age should already be conscious.

Could it be that he really has lost his memory?
Looking at the child's clothes, they are very dirty, and he must have been wandering outside for quite some time.

It may not be true amnesia, but it may be that he is looking for a meal ticket.

"Li Kailang, Brother Li, please help me with this matter."

Li Kailang spread his hands and said, "Maybe he was really frightened and lost his memory."

"Ah? How could this happen? What should I do?" Xu Damao was at a loss.

Faced with the child's ignorance of anything, everyone present was at a loss as to what to do.

This requires finding out the child's situation. It will take at least three to five days to come here, and we have to inform other police stations.

Xu Damao just wanted to get rid of this hot potato as soon as possible: "Comrade police, I have brought the child to you. Please check his parents."

The police nodded and said, "Okay, we will send the child to an orphanage later and return him to his parents after we have investigated his situation."

When he heard that he was going to an orphanage, the little boy was instantly panicked and his body trembled slightly.

Looking at Li Kailang and Xu Damao, he finally grabbed Xu Damao's trouser leg.

"Uncle, don't go!"

The little boy's soft and hoarse voice made Xu Damao feel a little bit uncomfortable, but he and Sai Fengxian were in their prime, so how could they take care of a child of unknown background?

Besides, if we bring this back to the yard, people might gossip about it.

The most important thing is that Xu Damao has not yet had the habit of raising other people's children.

"No, no, I'm not suitable. You'd better follow the police comrade obediently." Xu Damao shook his head repeatedly.

Seeing that the little boy was unmoved and still holding on tightly, he couldn't help but use force to pry it open, but he didn't dare to use too much force for fear of accidentally hurting the child.

"Uncle, I don't want you to leave!" the little boy cried hoarsely.

"This, this, this..." Xu Damao was at a loss again. He looked at Li Kailang and the police, but saw that he was avoiding his sight.

Looking at the uncles and aunts who came to join in the fun.

"Oh, my clothes haven't been put away yet, I have to go back and put them away." "My dishes haven't been washed yet, I have to go back and wash them."

"Oh my, my stomach hurts."

In an instant, the police station reception was empty.

The police tried to separate them, but to no avail. It seemed that the little boy had given up on Xu Damao.

"Comrade Xu, I think you have to give up this little boy. So, please take care of him for us at the police station. Once we have found out the child's situation, we will take him away immediately."

Xu Damao looked at the policeman, then at the little boy's stubborn eyes.

At the moment, there seems to be no better way.

"Okay, but you have to make it clear first. You have to give me an answer as to when you can find it. You can't ask me to keep it forever."

"Okay, but this kid doesn't know anything, so there's no way to investigate. And time won't be that fast. Let's set a month first."

"No, it's too long, 7 days at most."

"Seven days is too short, 7 days."

After a round of bargaining, the two sides finally settled on half a month.

"Boy, did you hear me? I will take care of you for half a month. If the police can't find your parents after half a month, you will have to go to an orphanage, understand?"

The little boy nodded timidly.

"I'm glad you understood." Xu Damao nodded and then raised a few more questions.

After all, if a child is suddenly brought back, the police will have to go out and explain to everyone, and also give Sai Fengxian an explanation.

"Okay, let's go." Xu Damao said reluctantly. The little boy lowered his head with a slight smile on his face.

Li Kailang suddenly said, "I think we should go to the hospital first to see if the child is okay. If there is something wrong, we can treat it right away."

Hearing this, the police nodded, but was reluctant to express his agreement.

Xu Damao had a bitter face: "Okay! Not only does he refuse to leave, but I also have to spend money to see a doctor. Okay, okay? It's my bad luck anyway, I accept it."

Hearing this, the little boy lowered his head in shame.

hospital.

"There's nothing wrong with the child, he's just a little weak and looks like he's been hungry."

"Eat light liquid food for the first few days after you go back, and then eat as you normally would as you recover."

"Oh, ok, thank you doctor."

"You're welcome. This is what we should do." The doctor nodded.

After a busy day, when I returned to the yard, it was already three or four in the afternoon.

"I was just buying some seasoning, but I didn't expect it to take so long and bring back a child. Did I forget to check the almanac when I went out today?"

Xu Damao's mouth looked like it had been blessed. It was indeed [not suitable for traveling] today, but [auspicious for having children] .

Maybe this is something that is secretly destined by fate.

As soon as he entered the courtyard, Xu Damao shouted at the top of his voice: "Everyone, come to the middle courtyard for a meeting!"

"Hurry up, there's something important to say, the police are here too!"

When the people who were staying at home heard that the police had arrived, they all thought something big had happened and rushed out of the house.

In less than a minute, everyone gathered in the central courtyard.

Everyone looked at the little kid next to Xu Damao's trouser leg and talked about it.

"Who is the kid next to Xu Damao? Why haven't I seen him before?"

"Could it be Xu Damao's illegitimate child? I was wondering why Xu Damao didn't have a child for so long, it turns out he has an illegitimate child."

"Pah, I didn't expect Xu Damao to be such a person."

Everyone despised Xu Damao, and even Sai Fengxian looked at him with tears in her eyes.

He knew that Xu Damao was not a decent person, but he didn't expect that he would bring back an illegitimate child.

"What are you arguing about? Shut up! Listen to the police's explanation."

The policeman stepped forward and said, "Comrades, I am a policeman from the police station. The child next to Comrade Xu Damao has an innocent background."

Immediately, the police roughly explained the child's origins.

"So that's how it is. I didn't expect Xu Damao to be such a kind-hearted person. I misjudged him."

"That's right, I didn't expect Xu Damao to be so caring and support an outsider."

The police did not explain why the child stayed at Xu Damao's home for half a month. If the investigation is not thorough in the end, it can be delayed further.

After the matter was explained clearly, Sai Fengxian realized that she had wronged Xu Damao.

"Da Mao, I'm sorry." Sai Fengxian leaned gently on his chest.

Feeling the surging waves in front of him, Xu Damao wanted to do something naughty again, but there was a little kid next to him, so he stopped immediately in public.

"Okay, that's what happened. Let's go back. Don't let me hear you gossiping about it in the future."

"The police have informed everyone about this matter. If you ruin my reputation, I will call the police to arrest you."

The policeman also nodded as a reminder, and then left the yard as nothing happened.

"Sister!" The little boy called out politely when he saw Sai Fengxian.

"Hey, good kid." Sai Fengxian touched his head affectionately, squatted down and said, "Little boy, what's your name?"

The little boy frowned and racked his brains to think of a name but still couldn't think of one. He could only shake his head: "I don't remember."

"I'm sorry, I forgot everything." Sai Fengxian then remembered that the little boy had lost his memory.

"Okay, if you can't remember it, then don't remember it. I'll remember it slowly later." Xu Damao said nonchalantly.

"Kid, let's go to my house."

From today on, little boys will be called children.

Xu Damao didn't have the time to name an unrelated child.

Come to the backyard.

Xu Damao pointed to another house and said, "You will live here from now on. We will clean up the place later."

Normally this room is used as a warehouse. Now that the child is here, it naturally belongs to him temporarily.

The little boy looked refreshed after taking a hot bath. Xu Damao rummaged through the drawers and found some of his childhood clothes and put them on him.

Apart from being a little thin and having dark skin, this child has no other shortcomings.

"Okay, from now on you will settle down in my house for the time being. Come to another room to eat when you eat. I will call you when it's time to eat. You can usually play in the yard."

"Thank you uncle, thank you sister."

"Humph! You call my wife sister and me uncle. Do you know that the sister you call is older than me?"

The child lowered his head in embarrassment.

"Da Mao, why do you care about these things! He's just a child." Sai Fengxian slapped Xu Damao on the head gently, and then hugged the child tightly.

"Ah, it hurts!" Xu Damao touched the back of his head and felt a cold wind. He turned around to look at the child buried deep in his wife's arms. He could only snort coldly and go home.

On the other side, Li Kailang also returned home after the meeting.

"Xiao Li, wait a minute."

Looking back, I saw the three aunts walking towards me quickly.

"What's up, Auntie?"

"Xiao Li, let me tell you something. This morning when you were away, Jia Zhang played with your swing. She didn't hold on tightly and fell. She was injured. You better be careful and don't let the Jia family blackmail you."

"By the way, the Jia family is not in the yard now."

Why does the winking attitude of the third aunt seem like she is gloating over someone else's misfortune?

Li Kailang frowned. This old hag must be crazy. The relationship between the two families is so bad, how could he have the nerve to touch her things.

There is no need to worry about the Jia family blackmailing him, after all, some things have been said in advance.

However, you still have to be careful to avoid damaging the swing.

"Thank you, Auntie."

"You're welcome. We're all neighbors." The third aunt left happily: "Oh, by the way, there's one more thing I almost forgot to mention."

"Jia Dongxu called the police, but it was the Jia family who did something dishonest. The police said it was none of your business."

"Have the police come too? Thank you Auntie for the reminder."

"Well, we are all from the same courtyard, so we should help each other. Okay, I'm going to go back and cook."

After saying that, the three aunts turned around and went home.

Li Kailang stroked his chin and thought about it secretly: "I called the police, but they didn't even say anything. It seems that this matter has nothing to do with me."

Knowing that calling the police was useless, Li Kailang didn't care.
