"Let me see, one, two, three, three and six."

The sun shines on the sycamore trees on the side of the road, revealing mottled shadows. Lin Zixi looked at the boy beside him flipping coins in his pocket with a puzzled expression.

"Why are you counting this?"

Lin Zixi was a little curious about this peer who suddenly appeared beside her.The other party is only in his early teens, with good-looking eyebrows and eyes, and the corners of his eyes are slightly tilted, as if always smiling.After a while he emptied his pockets and tilted his head as if giving up. "Hey... I didn't bring enough money." He tilted his head to look at him. "Please drink milk tea."

"Why did you buy me something to drink?" Lin Zixi was a little puzzled.

"...Why." The other party was taken aback. "If you have to say... because you just cried, right?"

"Just because of this?" Lin Zixi's innate values ​​are completely incomprehensible, such behaviors that harm others and benefit himself.Hastily persuaded. "I may leave as soon as I find the police. If you want to find me, you may not get paid."

He said this seriously, the boy looked at him, clicked his mouth and said. "Hey, I finally know why your adoptive parents don't like you. You are really not likable."

"They are not my adoptive parents..." Lin Zixi argued. "They are just guardians and have to be adopted... hey!" Lin Zixi was patted hard on the back of the head for no reason, and Lin Zixi held his head and looked at each other helplessly.

"Does it hurt?" Lin Zixi shook his head subconsciously.

"Oh, is that so?" The other party took advantage of the situation and gave him another slap, biting his tongue with his upper and lower teeth, causing Lin Zixi to burst into tears from the pain.

"Does it hurt?" He asked again.Lin Zixi still shook her head with red eyes.

"Then what is this?" The tightly clenched fist was pulled out from behind.It seemed that a corner of the shell that had been wrapped with force was cracked, and someone reached out and smashed it, pulling Lin Zixi out together with the sticky and disgusting mucus.

"You don't realize you're angry, do you?"

He didn't read any look of disgust from the other person's eyes, but those eyes looked at him so calmly that he became even more frightened.

"I'm sorry." He subconsciously apologized.

"It's really..." The hand that grabbed him loosened.The boy reached out and poked his head. "You, gritted your teeth and swallowed when you were wronged, and said it didn't hurt when you were beaten. You live so carefully. Who taught you?"

"...It's easy to be hated if you don't do this." Lin Zixi said what was in his heart.

"Really." The young man glanced at him casually. "Then does anyone like you now?"

Lin Zixi was worse than biting his tongue, and couldn't speak.

"If you are wronged, you should confide, if you are beaten, you should fight back, and if you are sad, you should cry. This is the most basic reaction. Otherwise, what's the point of living?"

"... But I won't." Lin Zixi was a little distressed.

"If you don't know it, just learn." The boy patted Lin Zixi on the head again. "It's not difficult, it's really impossible for you to be like me."

His brows were bent, and he was full of smiles.

Lin Zixi looked at him for a while, hesitated, and reached out to pat his head.

The force was so heavy that the boy bit his tongue in pain.

9,

Speaking of which, Grandma Hegu taught him the principle of being kind to others.

The old man whispered instructions in his ears over and over again.Until He Gu grew into a completely opposite look.

Those things are still weirdly and ridiculously branded in his bones.

He Gu's grandmother was cremated at the beginning.

His body, which was hit by a car in disarray, was pushed into the incinerator crookedly, and there was nothing left. Then he was confiscated by the uncle who received the driver's comfort money, and stuffed into the ashes building on the mountain behind the cremation room.

Some people always say that the old lady has a good life, the grandson is handsome, motivated and filial, and there must be countless good days in the future.

It's just that the two grandparents and grandchildren didn't wait for that good day, but the days have long since changed beyond recognition.

At best, He Gu is just a child who hasn't grown up yet.

His arms couldn't twist his thighs, and he couldn't do justice to his grandmother, let alone prevent the legal first-in-line heir from acquiring his grandmother's house.He Gu was forced to move out and rented a dilapidated house with the money he borrowed from Lu Boyan.

On the night of his stay, he burned the money his uncle gave him.The firelight made his face flush.

He looked at the pieces of burned money and felt that what was burned was not money, but his grandmother's hands and legs.

It was all in exchange for his grandmother's life.

From that day on, He Gu's school never went to it again.

He does not communicate or speak with others, and is locked in the room alone.No one cared about his life or death. At that time, Lu Boyan even suspected that the other party would die like this.

>>>>>>>>

There is some dead moss on the ground, covering the old slate floor. Looking up, the old tiles reflect the gray sky, and there is always a sense of time.

Go straight down the main road in the urban area, pass through a junior high school attached to the urban area, and two intersections before that is a row of not too large warehouses.

This warehouse is located in the outskirts of the city. In the past, there were always a few unknown vehicles parked.

It has been gradually abandoned in recent months.

"Tell me, does this look like the house we had when we were young?"

Lu Boyan was sitting on a high shelf, wearing a light-colored T-shirt with the solid but not exaggerated muscle lines of a teenager.There is a silver stud in the left ear.He Gu looked up at the person on the height and sighed. "Why did you invite me here?"

Ultraviolet rays shone through the clouds into the eyes, bringing a slight burn.Lu Boyan didn't speak, looked down at him condescendingly, and stretched out his hand towards He Gu.He Gu held back the urge to call someone sick and climbed up the shelf about four meters high.The rusted pipes were still stained with last night's wet rain, and the freezing temperature pierced into the skin.

Their distance is not far.

At a distance of about half a person, He Gu took Lu Boyan's outstretched hand.

"Why, you still trust me so much." The water-soaked iron pipe was still a little slippery.When Lu Boyan said this, he tightly clutched his wrist, but he didn't intend to pull him up at all.

"Look, you gave me your hand. This means that you expect me to do something. And I have two choices, one is to pull you up, and the other is to let go and kick you down.

And in the same way, Yi can also choose to come up, or drag me down with force. "

The sun shone through the dark clouds with an indistinct but scorching white light, He Gu frowned.In the next second, he was kicked hard in the chest.He fell from the 4-meter-high shelf, hearing the sound of the ground hitting the bones, curled up on the ground, unable to move in pain.

Lu Boyan jumped off the shelf, patted the rust on his hands, and looked around. "This is the place where it will be delivered in a few days. I rented it, and it feels pretty good. Since you won't come, I'll let you see it in advance."

The back of the head hitting the ground brought a strong sense of vomiting, He Gu struggled to open his eyes, and could hardly make a sound.

Lu Boyan crossed to his side, and slowly bent down. "Speaking of which, you pushed my dad downstairs, and now I've paid you back. So..." He got up and walked out of the gate. "Since you don't want to, this matter has nothing to do with you. You don't have to feel guilty about that, let alone worry that it will affect you."

He Gu lay on the ground, clutching his chest, but stared at him stubbornly.

Lu Boyan pushed away and looked back at He Gu, suddenly remembering what he looked like a few years ago.

At that time, He Gu locked himself at home all day, and he begged for several days before letting the other party come to his house for something to eat.

He wanted people to drink the soup, and the scholar boiled a pot at home like his grandmother, but he ran out of old wine.

He reminded him ten thousand times, told him not to run around and let him watch the pot.

But when he came back, the former alcoholic man had lost the strength to hit people.He fell at the corner, with one foot inserted into the gap of the pillar in the corridor, his body was vertical to the wall and landed on the ground, his neck was twisted at a strange angle.

And He Gu stood on the steps, turning his head mechanically and slowly.The moment he met Lu Boyan's gaze, he swayed and knelt down towards him with a plop.

So he used the words "you owe me" to force He Gu to follow behind him.Forced him to become the kind of person he least wanted to be.Even if he heard the sentence that his father was unconscious. "That old thing in your house should have died a long time ago." He knew why He Gu did that, but he also knew that he would never let He Gu disappear, he was afraid.

But why is still not why, he tried his best, but he couldn't make him survive.

"You don't owe me any more."

Lu Boyan pushed open the door and walked out. The door buzzed slightly, and a few pieces of rusty dust fell down.
