A Tooth For a Tooth

(1)

The next day was supposed to be Saturday, so Yang Ren should be able to sleep until eleven o'clock, but the old man of the Xu family was sick, and the family made him worry so much that he woke up at 06:30.He also knew that he couldn't go to Xu's house at this time, he could only toss and turn on the bed to pass the time.

Lying so empty, memories naturally slowly appeared in front of my eyes.

At that time, the young girl Kang Xiaomeng fell in love with Xu Yao, and knew that her brother and Xu Yao had a good relationship. Every time Yang Ren went to meet Xu Yao, Kang Xiaomeng would find various excuses to follow, but Yang Ren dared not tell My sister has her own thoughts, so this little oil bottle can't be shaken off.

Yang Ren had no choice but to lie, sometimes he said he went to the library, sometimes he said he went to rehearse a drama, and finally went to Xu Yao's house by detour.Later, Kang Xiaomeng discovered his little trick, and simply waited for Yang Ren near Xu Yao's house.

Forced to be helpless, Yang Ren had to really meet Xu Yao in the library, but Xu Yao still liked it there.In a quiet environment, you can't speak loudly, so Yang Ren and Xu Yao sat face to face, holding a big notebook, I write a sentence, you write a sentence, like a small note secretly passed in school.Unknowingly, the extremely thick notebook was filled with writing by the two of them.

Later, when they separated, the black soft leather notebook remained at Xu Yao's home. Yang Ren didn't know where it went now, and where did the architectural model of the room in Xu Yao's little home go?

Finally at nine o'clock, Yang Ren sat up slowly, washed up hastily, put on his down jacket and ran to Xu Yao's house, forgetting even his son.

The anti-theft door in Xu Yao's house is old-fashioned, the kind that can be ventilated. If it is summer, the door inside will definitely be open, but now it is winter, and the door is relatively closed.

Yang Ren knocked on the door, but there was no response. He knew that the old man's legs and feet were not good, so he calmed down and knocked on the door again. After waiting for a while, there was still no response.

God, nothing will happen, right?

The stubborn old man's illness is still not cured, he lives in a room by himself, if he really faints or falls, Xu Yao may not be able to find out in time, if this happens, something serious will happen.

The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, Yang Ren put his ear on the anti-theft door, the room was very quiet, there was no sound at all.He knew that it was impossible for Xu Yao to go out, and it was impossible for the old man to drag Xiao Ai to set up a street stall in the morning while dragging his sick body.

Yang Ren was so anxious that he began to knock on the door desperately. The sound was loud, and soon the door was opened by the opposite door. A middle-aged woman scolded: "What are you knocking on, knocking on the door when you go to a deaf man's house? It's disturbing my grandson." Go to bed and get out!"

This pissed off Yang Ren, he couldn't bear this kind of person with his violent temper, not to mention that she even spoke rudely to Xu Yao, he rushed over and slapped that woman in the face, then The woman was really scared when she saw this, she took a step back, and hurriedly closed the door, Yang Ren refused to do it, and stretched out his hand to pull the door, just in time for the woman to force, his fingers were caught in the crack of the door, and his eyes hurt suddenly Take gold stars.

The old man came up from the stairs, quickly pulled Yang Ren back, then waved his hand and said that he should not be as knowledgeable as that woman.

Yang Ren held up his numb fingers and gasped, and found that the old man was alone, holding a plastic bag containing deep-fried dough sticks, and hurriedly asked, "Where is Xiao Ai? You leave Xiao Ai and Xu Yao alone at home." gone?"

The old man took the key to open the door and said, "No, I just sent Xiao Ai to her mother."

The door opened, and the room was very quiet. Xu Yao was folding clothes for his daughter in his bedroom.Yang Ren walked over, stood at the door and watched, and found that he folded carefully, and would repeatedly touch each piece of clothing to confirm the front and back.

Yang Ren still remembers that when they first met, Xu Yao told him because of his hearing loss: "I don't know how much effort I have to put in every moment to make people feel that I am no different from ordinary people." You don't need to ask to understand, it will be more difficult for him to cope with life now than before.

Yang Ren, who was in a hurry just now, smashed the door and made such a big noise that Xu Yao couldn't hear him, but now he was standing not far behind Xu Yao, Xu Yao still didn't notice, how can we live in such a life?What is the meaning of such a life?

The old man came over to ask Xu Yao to have breakfast. Seeing that Yang Ren was still standing at the door and did not go in, he went straight in and patted his son on the shoulder: "Yang Ren's finger was pinched by the door, please show me."

Yang Ren realized that he didn't want Xu Yao to know how anxious he was just now because he was worried about his accident, so he waved his hand and said no, no, no.

Xu Yao couldn't hear what he said clearly, walked up to him and stretched out his hand, looking at the hand that helped him pull out his tooth, all the struggle in his heart just now disappeared, he put his swollen finger on Xu Yao hands.

The hands of the two finally touched again after ten years. The feeling was beyond my understanding. Xu Yao covered his swollen and painful place with the other hand, and asked: "It's so swollen, why is it so painful?" how did you make it?"

Yang Ren didn't speak, the old man saw his embarrassed face, thought he was embarrassed to speak because of his presence, so he turned and walked to the living room.

Receiving Xu Yao's concern again, Yang Ren wanted to cry out of nowhere. He wanted to let Xu Yao know the countless thoughts in his heart, but he couldn't condense thousands of words, so he had to squeeze his hand hard in response. The tacit understanding was cultivated ten years ago, Xu Yao's face began to change, let Yang Ren know that the little tacit understanding has not faded, even after ten years have passed.

Xu Yao waited with his ears sideways for a while, but he didn't hear a response, so he knew that Yang Ren didn't want to say the reason, so he didn't press the question anymore, and gently stroked the swollen finger with his right hand, and said softly: "Fortunately, there is no Broken to the bone."
