Chapter 32 Old acquaintance with Maren


Chapter 32 Old acquaintance·Ma Lun

The visitor walked out of the dim light completely.

Under the intermittent streetlights, the appearance of the person is revealed.

This is a middle-aged man who looks to be in his forties. He is wearing an old but clean, large coat that wraps his body tightly.

There is a natural kindness on the middle-aged man's face, but I don't know if it is an illusion. There is also a touch of weariness that is not easy to detect in this kindness.

But at this moment, the middle-aged man frowned slightly and stared at the car-stealing duo.

Seeing the half stick in the opponent's hand, he took a step forward, stood in front of Song Shi, and slowly said:

"What do you want to do?"

——Broken, two people!

And this new middle-aged man doesn’t look easy to mess with.

The heart of the person standing jumped, and his companion quickly stood up without bothering to continue picking the lock.

When the atmosphere became more solid, they heard the middle-aged man say slowly: "It's so late, you are still picking up scraps in such a remote place, don't you think it's dangerous?"

"Uh. Huh?"

The person responsible for picking the lock was stunned for a moment, but his companion responded quickly: "Yes, yes - we are picking up junk! Thank you for reminding me! It’s too late, we really should go home!”

As they spoke, the two people slowly backed away while staring at the middle-aged man.

After retreating a certain distance, the two people quickly changed from walking to running and disappeared in a flash.

Watching the two people disappear from the end of the field of vision, the middle-aged man retracted his gaze and turned to Song Shi, with a gentle tone: "Are you okay?"

"Ah, it's okay, it's okay."

Song Shi observed the person in front of him.

At close range, he could see more clearly.

The middle-aged man's gray hair is slightly curly and reaches the length of his neck. It looks a bit messy, but it is very clean and does not appear greasy.

Because it was wrapped in a coat, only the exposed left hand could be seen, which had the characteristics of a semi-implantation modification. There are no traces of implants in the remaining exposed parts, including the face.

However, the feeling the other party brought to Song Shi was a little subtle, but he couldn't tell the details for a while.

"But you should know that they are not picking up any "trash", right?"

Song Shi said.

"They were just stealing the car, or stealing things in the car."

Hearing this, the middle-aged man admitted this simply, and then paused: "But I have no choice."
< br>"There are two of them. If they push too hard, I may not be able to stop them all, and you may get hurt."

When Song Shi was observing the middle-aged man, the other party was also observing Song Shi, one A young man with a low degree of transformation who looks like an adult.

“Besides, it’s useless to point it out directly.”

The middle-aged man didn't speak very fast, and his words sounded very clear: "There are too many such things. Even if we really catch them, the Security Bureau may not handle such small cases."

"A person's power is limited and he can't change anything." The middle-aged man smiled tiredly: "Besides, they didn't succeed in the end, right? That's good."

"I see, I understand. "

Song Shi nodded: "By the way, I don't know how to call it yet."

But his words were suddenly interrupted by the other party.

"Wait a minute."

The middle-aged man's expression slowly changed, and he hesitated and said: ".Song Shi?"

"Huh?"

Song Shi was shocked For a moment.

“I am Maren, we should have met several times.”

The fatigue on the middle-aged man's face relaxed a little, and he smiled: "Do you still remember? At the mutual aid meeting at Lomond Welfare Home, there were times when I was a substitute teacher." Then, Song Shi remembered.

He did meet each other.

To be precise, the "original body" has seen the other party.

The middle-aged man named "Ma Lun" is a volunteer who has been in and out of the welfare home for a long time - but that welfare home is not the "Lomond Welfare Home".

"Lomond" is not the only orphanage in Deep Moss District.

The situation of Lomond Welfare Home has indeed not been very good in recent years, but after all, it is a public facility nominally directly under the coalition government, and it can get some support, such as appropriation funds and some temporary services that have been exploited through layers of exploitation. period of processing materials.

But those non-public welfare homes are in a very difficult situation.

The main sources of income are social donations, volunteer work, charity markets, and returns from adults who were born in orphanages.

The Maren in front of me is a volunteer who appeared six years ago.

The first time I met each other was at a mutual aid exchange meeting held by various welfare homes.

I met him three or four times later, when the other person came to teach them as a substitute teacher, which was basically general education classes.

However, because the situation in Lomond Orphanage is relatively good, the other person rarely comes here and spends most of his time in other orphanages, so he has not seen the original person a few times in these years. "Nodding acquaintance".

"It seems that you have remembered it."

Maren smiled, and then, as if he suddenly remembered something: "That's right. Counting the time, you are indeed an adult. .”

"How long have you been away from Lomond? Have you encountered any difficulties now?"

"It's been a while since I moved out."

Song Shi thought for a moment and also showed a smile: "My life is actually pretty good, at least I can afford to eat. Speaking of which, Uncle Maren, why did you come here? It's quite remote here."

"Sprouting Home needs to open a temporary Proof of assets, Melissa is too busy, please help me drive it."

Maren said slowly: "It took a long time, and there were no cars when I came out, so I just took my time. Walk back.”

"Sprouting Home" is a small welfare home in the Deep Moss District. Melissa is the director, an aunt in her fifties.

“So that’s it”

Song Shi showed a look of surprise.

"Is there really no difficulty?"

Maren thought for a while and took out a personal terminal from his arms: "Well, I suddenly remembered that I still owe you the dean. How about you pay them back some money for me?”

Hearing this, Song Shi was a little surprised.

Of course he could hear that the other party was definitely not someone who owed the dean money. He said these words just to allow himself to accept the money - in a sense, the other party was his first person since his rebirth. A nice person to meet.

If you just need to transfer money.

——I cannot let you know that the person standing in front of you is a "dishonest person".

"Uncle Maren, please give it to the old dean yourself."

Song Shizheng said.

The two looked at each other for a few seconds. Maren took the lead to look away and sighed, understanding what the other person meant.

"That's okay, then I'll give it myself."

Next, the two briefly chatted for a few more words, declined the other party's plan to send them all the way, and Song Shi said goodbye and left. .

I don’t know how much time had passed, Maren rubbed his head, a look of confusion appeared in his eyes.

"Why did Song Shi give me the feeling just now that something was wrong?"
