"Who are you?"

A gentle question, like thunder on the ground, knocked the four children at a loss.

"You...couldn't be... amnesia, right?" The little fat man reached out to touch Li Tang's head, but Li Yue slapped the back of his hand.

"Li Tang, I'm Li Ge, he's Li Zijin, he's Li Yue, and this fat man is Li Fan, don't you forget them all?" Li Ge quickly pointed to the others and introduced them to Li Tang one by one. What would they do if they lost their memory?

Li Tang stared fixedly at Li Zijin, then at the other two, and finally said after a while: "No, I remembered."

Li Tang only felt that his memory was pitifully thin. He had a little impression of everyone here, but it seemed to be just that little.

It was getting late, and several people left Li Ge's house one after another and ran towards their own homes. Their homes were all in different directions, only Li Tang and Li Yue were in the same direction.

Li Yue secretly looked at Li Tang along the way, but fortunately there was no other strange place in Li Tang, and she did not forget where her home was, so it seemed that there should be no major problems.

Li Tang arrived home first, and said goodbye to Li Yue at the door.

The summer night is still a bit hot, the wind is warm, the air is sultry, the flowers in the yard are beginning to wither, and the luxuriant pagoda trees bring a little bit of coolness to the yard.

When going to bed at night, Li Tang’s parents took a mat, quilt and mosquito net to the roof. Li Tang held two pillows in his hand. The room was too hot and there was no air-conditioning. On the roof, Li Shang even heard voices coming from the roof next door.

There are many stars in the sky, twinkling, and occasionally you can see red satellites moving. Li Tang is lying on the mat, and the sky full of stars is reflected in his dark eyes. His confused eyes are like a A little lost beast.

"Mom, what was it like when I was a child?" Li Tang turned over and looked at his mother.

The woman opened her eyes and thought for a while: "Aren't you just like a child now, you were like this when you were a child."

"Not now, but when I was younger, from the time I was born until last year, please tell me something, I want to hear it." Li Tang was dissatisfied with his mother's answer, and acted coquettishly at the woman.

"When you were a child, you were so naughty. You insisted on pulling poop in the basin and then playing with it with your hands..." The woman burst out laughing when she said this. This is simply black history. I can't forget it.

Li Tang was also amused, and laughed along with the woman, the movement was too loud and disturbed the host, the two were scolded, and quickly lowered their laughter.

The woman stopped talking to Li Tang for a while, because Li Tang had already fallen asleep and didn't know what he had dreamed of, and there was still a sweet smile on the corner of his mouth.

This dream is very long, Li Shang follows Li Tang every day, watching him sleep, go to school, do homework, and also know many little habits of Li Tang.

For example, Li Tang is very afraid of being asked questions by the teacher. Even if he has memorized the knowledge that needs to be memorized thoroughly, as soon as he comes to the teacher, he will stutter and stumble, and it will take a long time to finish the memorization. Let him go down and carry his back again.

For example, in primary school, Li Tang got good grades, but he was always the second in the class, and the No.1 Li Yue always checked his score, and the No.3 was always the boy named Li Ge.

Another example is that Li Tang really likes to pick up trash. He picks up everything he sees and takes a look. He has a few big boxes at home, like dowry boxes in ancient times, and he picks up everything in them. His mother persuaded him many times to throw away the rubbish that came back, but Li Tang regarded them as treasures and was reluctant to throw them away, until one day his mother took advantage of Li Tang's absence and secretly threw all the things in the car. After Li Tang found out about the garbage pit at the south end of the village, he felt very depressed for a while.

Li Shang looked at the things that were thrown away: the ribbon on the cake box, the shells picked up by the river, nothing special looking stones, a half-turned head, a few sticks...

Li Shang felt a flock of crows flying over his head with a string of ellipses.

Every weekend, Li Tang meets with several other people to play outside the village. There is a small river there, and many people relax, fish and sell things here.Litang's shells are picked from here, and there are as many as a shoebox.

Li Tang and the others would do a lot of things here, such as watching others fly kites, and they would run after them, because they had no money to buy them, but Li Tang had money, but he was reluctant to spend it.

For example, buy a few packs of spicy strips and a bottle of [-] cents to sit in the shade and play cards, or sit by the small river, stretch your feet in the water, and deliberately prevent those fishermen from catching fish...

What surprised Li Shang the most was that the relationship between Li Tang and Li Yue became worse and worse.The reason was a girl, and Li Tang liked that girl, but Li Ge and Li Zijin told him that the girl liked Li Yue, and said that Li Yue knew that he liked that girl and wanted to break up with him, if Li Tang insisted on liking that girl If he did, Li Yue would have a duel with him. Later when Li Tang saw Li Yue, he made a detour, for fear that Li Yue would fight him, so he didn't dare to talk to that girl, so he could only watch from a distance and feast his eyes on it.

……

The surrounding area was covered by another layer of white mist, and this time the white mist lingered for a long time. Li Shang could only hear the surrounding sounds, but could not see anything.

Suddenly there was a sharp brake sound, which hurt people's eardrums, followed by screams from the crowd, noisy footsteps, and then the roar of 120.

The white mist finally dissipated, the dazzling white made Li Shang close his eyes suddenly, and after getting used to it, he slowly opened them again.

This is a hospital, Li Tang lay quietly on the bed, like a doll, lifeless.Li Tang has grown up again, he looks fifteen or sixteen years old, and the baby fat on his face is gone.

Li Shang suddenly found this face familiar, as if he could see this face in one place every day, with worried and pity expressions on it.

Li Tang's mother was sitting on the edge of the bed with a tired face, her eyes were bloodshot, staring closely at the unconscious Li Tang.

I don't know how long it took, Li Tang finally opened his eyes slowly, the woman excitedly held Li Tang's hand tightly, smiling and asking for warmth, while shedding tears, God knows she is going crazy, if Li Tang can't wake up If it comes, she doesn't want to live anymore.

Li Tang's eyes were a little confused, and the blankness in his eyes was like the time when he fell from upstairs when he was a child.

Sure enough, Li Tang held the woman's hand and said in a weak voice, "Mom, tell me something about your childhood, I want to hear it."

The woman laughed as soon as she heard it. At such an age, she always likes to hear the embarrassing things about her childhood, but the woman never tires of telling her son the story she has told many times.
