maple leaves don't know autumn

Where did it all start?From that sunny morning?Because he knew that he would wear a red scarf during the flag-raising ceremony, so Ye Yang went out early.Although Uncle and Aunt Tang would not pick him up like other children's parents, Uncle Tang still rubbed his head and praised him after listening to his report.

"Baby, come with me." A person stopped him, it was a thin old man who brought his two children to perform nearby yesterday. "I still have a good time today."

The skinny old man was not tall, and his clothes were not too clean, but the light in his eyes made the young Ye Yang very scared.In fact, their performance is still very attractive to Ye Yang.A little girl in a red and white striped top yelled "Hey", and the red brick was split into two pieces under her palm; a half-meter-square large stone slab was placed on the belly of a ten-year-old boy, " "Pa" and was smashed into several pieces at once, but the child jumped up and patted the stone powder on his body, and nothing happened.

Ye Yang thought that they were really powerful, if he could be so strong, no one in that class would dare to bully him anymore.The crowd dispersed, and he tried to please the young lady's hand, but unexpectedly, the girl yelled "ah" and shook off Ye Yang. "Blood!" Ye Yang's hands were all over, he turned around and wanted to escape, but was caught by the skinny old man.

"It's not me, I didn't..." Ye Yang didn't know what he was talking about, he just wanted to run away, but his arm seemed to be bitten by a tiger, and the pain quickly spread from the place where the old man pinched to the whole arm.

"Baby," the skinny old man looked Ye Yang up and down, "What about your lord, you have to pay for the medical expenses for hurting Shui Ling."

"I didn't do anything, she was injured a long time ago!" Knowing that he couldn't run away, Ye Yang endured the pain and stopped struggling, looking straight into the skinny old man's eyes.

The thin old man narrowed his eyes, looking at the little boy who went out alone and dared to argue with him.Although the baby's clothes are clean, they are old and faded, and he doesn't belong to a rich family.There is childishness between the eyebrows and eyes, the red lips and white teeth make people look like they can't tell, and it's not bad that the proportion of the bones can reach such a young age.so……

"Well, you and I can accompany Shui Ling to the health center for a look. If the doctor says she's fine, you can leave." The skinny old man felt that this way he could easily take the child away.

Sure enough, Ye Yang nodded in agreement.

Ye Yang pointed to his blood-stained right hand and said to the thin old man, "Wipe it for me first, it's so scary." The thin old man let go of his hand and turned back to find a piece of cloth. Turning his head, Ye Yang ran away.

"Danzi, bring that baby back." The skinny old man yelled at the little boy beside him who was collecting things.

Danzi is bigger than Ye Yang and has been trained, so he catches up in a few steps.Danzi didn't pay attention to Ye Yang at all, and grabbed the clothes on his shoulders with his hand, who knew that Ye Yang threw bread crumbs into Danzi's eyes, and Danzi hurriedly rubbed it with the other hand.Ye Yang pulled hard to get rid of Danzi and fled desperately.The thin old man saw this scene clearly from a distance, and smiled "hehe" with his big mouth open.

Ye Yang ran out of breath, turned to the alley and stopped when he found no one was chasing him.He secretly rejoiced that it was not a bad thing to eat dry bread at noon, and it was more wise to put the bread crumbs in his pocket and take them home to feed the small fish.Ye Yang was very afraid. If his aunt found out that he would not go home after school to watch the fun, and was almost blackmailed, then the aunt would definitely teach him a lesson.Looking at the torn sleeves on his shoulders, he decided to sew them himself.

But how did Ye Yang know that what the old man wanted was not money but him.

This time the thin old man was waiting for him on his way to school.So Ye Yang didn't even have a chance to call out, he just felt a numbness in the back of his neck, and he didn't know anything.

After the strength of the Sleeping Acupoint passed, Ye Yang found himself locked in a very dark place, which is a small warehouse.There is no goods, only three or four plastic rackets and the tarpaulin piled there randomly.There was a small window a little higher up in the wall, which was covered with paper.

Hungry, really hungry, like a steel needle in the stomach nailing the front heart and the back together.He didn't know how long he hadn't eaten, and even his consciousness began to blur.Only the paper on the small window is bright and dark, dark and bright, reminding the alternation of day and night.The door finally opened, and the skinny old man walked in. Although he squatted beside Ye Yang when he spoke, his voice sounded so far away.No matter what he said, Ye Yang could only nod his head, so that he could have something to eat.

When the physical strength came back to him little by little, Ye Yang began to have some courage.Because of his obedience, Shui Ling and Danzi would turn on the overhead light when delivering meals, and teach him some basic skills by the dim light, but they still locked him here alone and did not let him out.This day he stacked the rackets against the wall and landed on their only fifteen centimeters edge.In this way, it only needs to overlap three beats and pins to send him to the small window.

Climbing up to the beat, Ye Yang cut open the paper pasted on the window with the convenient chopsticks that he secretly left behind, and tried his best to turn the small handle to open the window.The sun dazzled him so much that he couldn't keep his eyes open, but the free air refreshed his mind.The window sill was about three meters high from the ground outside, "I hope I don't break my feet", Ye Yang thought so and jumped down.But just when he was lucky that he only scratched his arm, the skinny old man who was supposed to take his child out to perform shows appeared like a ghost.

That "madman" had long held back and beat himself up, Ye Yang always thought so.The whip dipped in salt water was directly drawn on the ****'s skin, which was as hot as fire and as sharp as a knife.You can't hide, you can't escape; you can't make a sound even if your mouth is gagged.Ye Yang closed his eyes tightly and buried his face in the high-hanging arms as much as possible. He didn't dare to look at the skinny old man's fierce expression, let alone look at his gradually bloody body.The escalating pain was densely intertwined, almost taking his breath away.Can only endure.It seems that there is no end to such beatings...

"Am I going to die?" Ye Yang thought this way before losing consciousness.

Not knowing when he was let go, he lay on the cold concrete floor in a daze.Looking at the old clothes lying next to him, he really didn't have the strength to put them on.The fiery sharp pain hit him again crazily, biting every inch of his skin like a beast fighting for food.The smell of blood filled the entire space, forcing the original musty smell to dare not approach.I wish I could pass out right away so I wouldn't feel every second so hard.

During the healing process, Ye Yang missed the days of living in his uncle's house very much.Although Aunt Tang is sometimes a bit fierce to herself, but Uncle Tang is right about her, it's all for her own good.If I go home immediately after school to help my younger brother, I won’t meet these people.Will they come looking for it?Why, didn't she always complain that she spent all her brother's milk powder money when she went to school?This time everything worked out.

The thin old man took them to a new place when Ye Yang could walk by himself, but Shui Ling could no longer go out to perform.Because Shui Ling concealed the fact that Ye Yang left the chopsticks privately, two fingers were broken off.Later, because he didn't get a thorough treatment, the hand that could split bricks was just useless.
