Fresh wife is amazing

Chapter 383 The Finale

The sewer is the conscience of a city.

Blind roads are the embodiment of humanity in a city.

Like able-bodied people, blind people also need daily travel, food and shopping, work and medical treatment.

But whether they can go on the road safely and smoothly, few people pay attention.

Yang Fan stopped when he passed by the little girl with a blind stick in her arms, which was higher than her head.

The little girl's eyes were clear, but her eyes were out of focus. She heard footsteps around her, which were very close, and quickly hugged the blind stick in her arms.

Yang Fan glanced at the road ahead of the little girl.

During pavement construction, a small area of ​​bricks was dug away, including the blind sidewalk.

A cordon was put up around the construction section.

"Do you need help?" Yang Fan asked softly.

The little girl had a sunny smile on her face, she was very happy, and said quickly: "Thank you, big brother, can you help me bypass this section of the road and take me across the road again? It was fine when I came here at noon, and now the way back Gone."

"Okay, follow me." Yang Fan took the initiative to grab the end of the blind stick in the little girl's hand and led her around the construction road.

In fact, the distance is only a few meters. For normal people, it takes a few seconds to pass.

But it's just a few meters away, and I don't know how long the little girl has been stopped here.

"Left, 1, 2, 3...right, 1, 2, 3...right, 1, 2, 3..." Following Yang Fan, the little girl whispered.

Yang Fan didn't bother her, and led her around the construction section, and then across the road.

"With no family to take you, how did you cross the road by yourself?" When crossing the road, Yang Fan asked the little girl.

A smile appeared on the little girl's face: "I'll follow the crowd."

Looking at the empty zebra crossing, just himself and the little girl, Yang Fan asked: "For example, now, no one is crossing the road, just you, what do you do?"

The little girl was a little confused: "If no one is crossing the road, I will cross by myself. My mother said that whether I can reach the other side of the road depends on luck."

Yang Fan was a little silent.

The little girl seemed to be comforting Yang Fan, saying: "People's luck is always good, and mine is not bad either. I have crossed the road many times by myself, and I have never been hit once."

Yang Fan forced a smile on his face, if he had been bumped, even just once, I would not be able to see you now.

The little girl grinned, her teeth were very white: "My mother told me that when crossing the road alone, you should keep a constant speed, and never stop and go, as it will be difficult for the driver to judge. Every time I cross the road, I have to stand up Listen carefully, and judge how far a car is from me by listening to the sound of the engine."

When a blind person crosses the road, the first thing he considers is the feelings of the able-bodied person. Yang Fan sighs, and at the same time he finally understands why some street crossing lights are equipped with voice prompts.

In the past, he always felt that it was unnecessary.

It turned out that I hadn't considered that there are people in this world who can't see, and some people need this voice.

It's just that not all street lights have sound prompts.

The little girl is very cheerful, without the loneliness and low self-esteem common to blind people. She said enthusiastically: "I like to take the subway and light rail the most when I go out, because the rail transit has a standardized station reporting system, and I can find directions smoothly. The thing I am most afraid of is taking the bus. , because sometimes the line station reporting system is not standardized, and sometimes multiple buses enter the station at the same time, and the bus leaves before the bus to be taken is found.”

Yang Fan listened carefully. It is really not easy for people with visual impairment to go out.

Stepping on the blind path again, the little girl stopped, and kept thanking Yang Fan: "Thank you big brother, thank you, I can go by myself."

Yang Fan put down the end of the blind stick, watched it touch the blind path, watched the little girl breathe a sigh of relief, and asked softly, "How long have you been standing there just now?"

The little girl pressed the watch on her wrist and asked softly, "Youyou, what time is it?"

The smart watch immediately reported the time to the little girl. After listening to it, the little girl smiled and replied, "It's like half an hour."

Yang Fan sighed softly: "Many people don't understand your action of asking for help, why don't you make a sound?"

"There were few people at night, so I asked passers-by for help, but they left without responding." The little girl still had a bright smile on her face.

Yang Fan didn't know whether she was born with visual impairment or acquired it.

If it's the day after tomorrow, then this little girl's heart is extremely strong.

"I apologize to you on their behalf. Maybe they are too afraid of this society and of being deceived. Please forgive me." Yang Fan said ashamedly.

"No, no, no, I'm fine." The little girl became a little flustered: "My mother, I can't wait for help, my mother will come and take me home."

"How far is your home, I'll see you off." Yang Fan smiled.

"It's not far away. As long as the blind path is not invaded, I can go home, and my mother will wait for me in the community." The little girl walked forward slowly, tapped her blind stick, and walked two steps.

She will stop and reposition when encountering a corner.

Some blind paths are not very humane, and there are gaps, but the little girl passed smoothly with her super memory.

Looking at the clothes on the little girl, Yang Fan didn't ask her if she had a guide dog.

Can't afford it, can't afford it.

Although guide dogs are the eyes of the blind, they are only standard equipment for a small number of blind people.

Yang Fan is the most gentle and caring towards guide dogs.

If a dog wants to become a guide dog for the blind, the threshold for primary selection is very high.

The typical breeds of guide dogs are Labrador Retrievers and Golden Retrievers.

The reason is that dogs of this breed are gentle in nature and less aggressive.

Then also check the dog's family history and any signs of aggression against humans.

If you want to become a guide dog, its parents and ancestors must not have any record of hurting people, and the selection standard is even higher than that of police dogs.

This is just the first step.

After learning to report, guide dogs have to go through a series of professional training.

For example, refuse the temptation of food.

It is the nature of dogs to eat gluttonously.

But the staff should curb it and use some special training to let guide dogs learn to actively resist temptation.

Also, they must be at the command of their master at all times.

When guide dogs are working, they will inevitably be disturbed by other animals.

But as long as the owner drinks it, the guide dog firmly ignores it.

Yang Fan watched a video of a Erha yelling at a guide dog, as if he wanted to fight.

But the guide dog squatted there, motionless, not even uttering a "bark".

The pre-employment examination for guide dogs is extremely strict, and the elimination rate exceeds 70%.

There are no cases of them attacking humans, not only in China, but so far, there has not been a single case of "guide dogs hurting people" in the world.

It is precisely because guide dogs are reliable and safe that guide dogs are legally given the green light: they are allowed to enter public places.

But even with the legal basis, many public places refuse to allow guide dogs to enter.

For example, some subways, some buses, and some hotels.

A visually impaired woman was turned away by subway staff 11 times because she traveled with a guide dog.

The guide dog, who is more sensitive and loyal than the average pet, cried on the ground when he was blocked from the door for the 11th time.

"Do you think it's convenient to go out?" Yang Fan asked beside the little girl.

After hesitating for a while, the little girl nodded: "It's okay, as long as the road is not repaired, I can remember how to walk a few more times."

Along the way, Yang Fan looked at the design of the blind road, and found that it was either crooked or intermittent, and very few were straight.

Give way to normal pedestrians.

The little girl is just easier to be satisfied, so she thinks it's okay.

The real situation is that the design and practicality of blind walkways are still far from their requirements.

Indeed, at the beginning, the little girl's mother never dared to let her go out alone, worrying that she would get lost with poor eyesight, and even more worried about traffic safety issues.

Blind people need to constantly compose pictures in their minds when traveling. After walking this road once, they have to rely on the sense of touch under their feet and the sense of hearing in their ears to construct a three-dimensional picture. The blind stick in their hands is like a detector. outside road conditions.

When there is an obstacle at a certain point in this picture, you have to go around and pass it, and you will be extra careful next time, and you don’t even dare to pass it here again.

These obstacles include not only the obstacles left over from the construction of blind paths, but also those erected artificially.

These "blind spots" hinder the travel of the blind, and even make them bruises and shadows in their hearts.

The blind people like the blind road is straight, so it will be smoother to walk, but carefully observe the actual blind road.

There are eighteen bends in the blind road, the manhole cover is sandwiched in the middle of the blind road, the trees on the side of the road occupy the blind road, the floor tiles of the blind road are uneven, and the floor tiles are missing...

Blind paths are becoming more and more like decorations, not specially built for blind people, but for able-bodied people to "see".

In addition, it is not uncommon for cars to occupy blind lanes for parking, and it is common for shared bicycles to occupy blind lanes, all of which make it difficult for blind people to travel.

"Big brother, I'm here, thank you for taking me home." At the end of the blind road, back to the gate of the community, the little girl kept bowing and thanking Yang Fan.

"I helped you. Thank you. After crossing the road, you walked back by yourself. I didn't help you. You don't have to thank me." Yang Fan looked at the little girl who stood at the end of the blind road, and there was no blind road under her feet. .

Despite the problems of one way or another with the blind sidewalks on the street, at least there are roads for the blind to walk on.

But the most critical 100-200 meters from the street to the door of the house, the blind road is blank.

"Thank you very much, big brother, you are a good person!" The little girl's smile was pure and innocent, and it was one of the most healing smiles Yang Fan had ever seen.

"Okay, I accept it." Yang Fan asked, "Can you walk the rest of the way by yourself?"

After hesitating for a while, the little girl said: "Yes, Mom may not be free yet. I will walk back by myself first. If I can't find the way, I will wait for her or call her and ask her to pick me up."

This distance, the little girl walked for a long time, repeatedly memorized, and kept getting familiar with it. Now she can almost walk to the door of the residential building.

When you get to the gate of the residential building, it's easy to handle.

In the past, every time she went home, she could only walk to the gate of the community, step on the last blind brick, and wait for her mother to come downstairs to pick her up.

Because she didn't know how to take the next road.

Later, her mother guided her to walk back and forth many times before she dared to leave.

But the success rate is still not very high, because the interior of the community is intricate, and there are often obstacles in the construction, which are not constant every day.

Yang Fan vaguely remembers that there are nearly 2000 million visually impaired people across the country, but he never sees them going out, and this is the first time he has encountered them tonight.

It turned out that it was too inconvenient for them to travel.

Now, he not only hopes that these visually impaired people can come out, adapt to society, and integrate into society, but also worries that they will be in danger during the integration process.

He doesn't know when the road will be dedicated to the blind, turning it into a straight line, the obstacles on the blind road will be completely removed, and it will be laid to the door of the house. Sound reminder devices, supermarket shelves, and shopping mall toilets are equipped with Braille labels.

"Tell me, which building you live in, and I'll take you back." Yang Fan picked up his blind stick again and said to the little girl.

The little girl quickly pulled back her cane and said, "Big brother, no need, I can walk by myself. My mother said that others can help me once, but they can't help me for a lifetime. I have to rely on myself."

Yang Fan didn't insist, and asked: "Then do you remember how to get there?"

The little girl walked forward with a blind cane, stopped when she heard the words, and said: "Remember, go forward for about 21 steps, then turn right and go up the steps. There are seventeen steps in total. The first nine steps are in groups, and the rear A group of eight grades, five steps in the middle, walk up the steps, go forward [-] steps, turn left..."

"Okay, you go by yourself, I won't say anything, it won't affect you." Yang Fan shut up after finishing speaking.

The little girl smiled at him and walked on.

Only halfway through, a woman in front hurriedly came to meet her, but when she saw the little girl, she slowed down, and finally stood where she was, not coming any more.

It wasn't until the little girl walked over that she followed lightly.

At the same time, she was also wary of Yang Fan.

When she walked over from a distance, she saw Yang Fan was very close to the little girl.

Her daughter is not particularly beautiful, but she is also very beautiful.

If it wasn't for the bustling road section, if it wasn't for some accident, my daughter wouldn't be walking on the street so late tonight.

"Seven, eight..." Suddenly, the little girl stopped, turned her head, and looked in her mother's direction: "Mom, are you here?"

"Well, here we come." The little girl's mother walked over and picked up her daughter's blind cane.

The little girl looked around, not knowing which direction Yang Fan was in, and finally said to the air: "Big brother, my mother is here, thank you for taking me home."

The little girl's mother looked at Yang Fan in surprise.

He also thought that Yang Fan had malicious intentions, seeing the little girl was pretty but blind, so he blatantly stalked her.

"Mom, the road is being built on the road tonight. My elder brother took me there and even sent me across the road." The little girl said to her mother again.

The little girl's mother quickly bowed to Yang Fan, very grateful: "Thank you, thank you for helping Xiaoyan so much, I really trouble you."

"You're welcome, Xiaoyan has thanked me too, so you don't need to thank me any more." Yang Fan said politely to the mother next to her after glancing at Xiaoyan, who was slim and neatly dressed, with very ordinary clothes.

After a pause, he couldn't help asking in a low voice: "Is Xiaoyan born or acquired?"
