breeze blowing

Sure enough, Zheng Ling was punctual, and he appeared outside the rented house where Xiao Yanfeng was hiding at the appointed time. Xiao Yanfeng got into the car right away, and said to him worriedly: "Boss Zheng, if you are looking for something, you must hurry up. I... I Afraid of being discovered by others," Xiao Yanfeng smiled and said, "Let's go."

In fact, Zheng Ling wasn't looking for something, he was just curious. Although he followed Xiao Shan when he was in high school, he had never been to his house. Besides, Xiao Shan didn't have many friends, so maybe he could find any secrets about him. .

It was really different from what Zheng Ling thought. The signs of dilapidation in that house should be that no one has lived here for a long time. The tables and chairs are all scattered, and the curtains are also dilapidated due to the wind and sun.

Xiao Yanfeng said that he had already mortgaged the house, and it no longer belonged to him. His voice was a little emotional. After all, this was the only thing left to him by his parents. Zheng Ling just smiled, and Xiao Yanfeng didn't know whether his smile was what do you mean.

I don't know how Xiao Shan will react when he knows that the "home" he lived in since he was a child has changed into what he is today. Zheng Ling thought, and he thought of Xiao Yanfeng's words, "I don't even remember Xiao Shan coming back after he went to college...", he was really cruel. For such a person, the relationship for so many years is just like a shoe, and there is no regret at all. It is like facing a dilapidated house to him. Maybe it is not as good. At least he still wants to be a good son. For him, it's not good at all; for him?But it might be worse than throwing away a rag. Even a rag is worse than a pure stain, and there is nothing to recommend it.

"Where did Xiao Shan live before?"

"He used to live in the attic up there, and we moved his stuff down when he didn't come home very often..."

"Take me up there to see"

"it is good!"

"Forget it, I'll go by myself"

The light in the small attic was a bit dim, making people unable to open their eyes for a while, and the humid air inside made people feel a little chilly. It can be seen that this place should have been open like a balcony, and these things should have been built the day after tomorrow. , The project is naturally shoddy, Zheng Ling took a closer look, except for the electric lights, there is almost no electrical appliance here, which fully reflects the family status of the people who live here.

There was basically nothing in the room, and some books could be seen here and there. Zheng Ling slowly picked up those books and stacked them together. He looked at the books in his hand and smiled. He saw this book Xiao Shan has read it and it is called "The Little Prince". Xiao Shan introduced the content of the book to him. He said that his favorite sentence is: time will ease all sorrows. I am satisfied.

Zheng Ling pretended to be disapproving, "Yaoyaoyao, our great genius Xiao is really extraordinary, his realm is beyond the reach of ordinary people like me." Xiao Shan just chuckled and ignored his ridicule at all.Later, Zheng Ling bit the bullet and read the book carefully. Not to mention, he really finished it after reading such a childish book.

His favorite quote is: "The fox said: "To me, you are just a little boy, just like thousands of other little boys.I do not need you.You don't need me either.To you, too, I am just a fox, no different from thousands of other foxes.But if you tame me, we'll need each other.To me, you are the only one in my world; to you, I am also the only one in your world.”

People are sometimes a kind of contradictory thing. They know they are wrong, but they don’t want to turn back. They know that the chances are slim, but they still want to gamble confidently. They know that there is no chance of winning, but they are still willing to sink deeper and deeper.Just like a gambler, once he tasted a little bit of sweetness, he would ignore the consequences, knowing that it was a trap, but still lose himself to nothing.

Sure enough, "If you want to tame a person, you have to risk tears."

There was indeed nothing here anymore, he kicked the mess on the ground hard and went downstairs.

"Where are all the things in Xiaoshan?" Zheng Ling asked eagerly.

"They were all sold, some were thrown away," Xiao Yanfeng said scratching his ears.

Zheng Ling kicked the chair next to him hard, and the chair seemed to fall apart, falling apart and turning into a pile of wood.

Xiao Yanfeng didn't know why he was angry, he just thought maybe he didn't find that important thing.

Zheng Ling took out a cigarette, closed his eyes, and exhaled a smoke ring. "Xiao Shan has no status in your family. Fortunately, he still sends you half of his salary every month."

Xiao Yanfeng just felt ashamed, but then he said, "It's not that I have been paying him to go to school. If it weren't for me, he didn't go to university, so he would have to go out to work. How can he be like a dog like today? Father doesn't even recognize..."

Zheng Ling was surprised: "He can't pass the college entrance examination, who are you lying to? How could he fail the entrance examination?"

Xiao Yanfeng also seemed to see that he didn't understand what happened back then, so he said, "He really didn't pass the exam back then, so I punished him to kneel for three days, and let him repeat the exam obediently..." His brows were a little complacent, as if I did great good deeds, and I didn't feel anything wrong at all.

Zheng Ling's face was a little blue, "What did you say? He didn't get into college...Knelt for three days?..." He couldn't believe it.

Three days... He understood what it was like. He just knelt down for one night a few days ago, and he felt exhausted, as if he was dead.He also thought of Xiao Shan's frail body in high school. He didn't know how that person survived. Could that person be a god?He didn't feel any pain at all, he didn't want to think about it, and he couldn't think about it.

He really doesn't remember what happened so many years ago, and he doesn't know why Xiao Shan didn't perform well and didn't get into the university. The impression is already blurred.I only felt the chill that penetrated the bone marrow when my knees hit the cold floor.

"Then I have to thank you more." He asked coldly.

Xiao Yanfeng laughed, "That kid is lucky to meet a friend like you, I should thank you."

Xiao Shan had been kneeling on the ground for a day, and his thin trousers had long since been worn out, revealing a large area of ​​bruises.He bit his lip, trying his best not to groan in pain, but his legs were already stiff, and a slight movement would cause severe pain.

He keeps his head down, and will wipe the cold sweat from his head after a while. He feels that his brain is a little lack of oxygen. In order not to let himself pass out, he thinks about his childhood.

When I was a child, my mother was very gentle and beautiful, and she was the envy of everyone. My mother wrote beautiful and beautiful calligraphy, delicate and elegant, and he always liked to watch her write from the sidelines.She always looked at him with a smile, and sometimes held him in her arms.Just watching the strokes stretch slowly, just looking at it makes people feel pleasing to the eye.

"What does Xiao Shan want to do when he grows up?" she asked gently.

Xiao Shan thought about it seriously for a while, "Well... I'll just write all day long."

"Does Xiao Shan want to be a writer?" She smiled.

Xiao Shan frowned, and after a while he said, "Well, as long as you can write"

She was still so gentle, Xiao Shan didn't see the sadness in her eyes at all.

What about the father at that time?Just busy fighting and gambling, not staying at home all day, forget it, don't talk about it.

A few days later, Xiao Yanfeng told him seriously, "Your mother is gone!!"

Xiao Shan didn't understand, mother left, did mother go to work?But why do you have to tell him again?

He nodded his head half-understood, and said, "Yeah!"

Xiao Yanfeng was angry, "You little bastard, why didn't she take you along? Didn't that bitch just see that I have no money? Ah? Why did you marry me back then?"

Xiao Shan just looked at him blankly, Xiao Yanfeng looked at his face, raised his hand and gave him a slap.Due to inertia, Xiao Shan immediately fell to the ground.

He said - "I feel disgusted when I see this face"

Turn around and leave.

Xiao Shan was stunned, at a loss, and fell there. He approached the familiar room, and found that his mother's clothes, shoes, and cosmetics were all gone, and the closet was empty.

Only then did he realize what his father meant by "Mom is gone".He thought of his mother's face a few days ago, and for the first time he had an inexplicable fear of women.

Xiao Shan was dizzy, he knew that he had been supported by something called "spiritual power", but he also felt that he was very tired, and he didn't know when he would collapse.

His consciousness is still clear now, and the woman's shrill voice kept coming from his ears, "Didn't you say that you are a good student? You are not a waste, not even the last one in their class. Look at us, Xiao Xiao, singing She's a good dancer, she's such a good girl, she will definitely marry a rich man in the future." The woman laughed loudly, and the person who laughed had a headache.

That woman is Xiao Shan's stepmother, and Xiao Xiao is his younger sister.After his mother left, his father quickly found a woman who was willing to marry him by virtue of his outstanding appearance. From that day on, Xiao Shan moved into the attic.

Xiao Yanfeng doesn't like to gamble like he used to, but he always idles around every day.

That woman is not ugly, but her laugh is very loud, like a motorcycle engine, people who don't know only think that she has a cheerful personality, only Xiao Shan knows how many ideas she has to punish her.

Her voice echoed throughout the room, lingering.His gambler dad also echoed, "I spent so much money in vain, just like his snobbish mother, who looked down on me and clamored to repeat my studies. Don't even think about it, I will go out to work in a few days... "Xiao Shan clenched his fists and felt his whole body trembling. He couldn't hear that person belittle his mother so blatantly, he was not qualified.

Where was he when she was sick?Where was he when she passed out in the street?Where was he when they were stuck at home, listening to the frightening knocking on the door?He has no right to say that, no right!

In a blink of an eye it was time to eat, Xiao Xiao walked up to him and said to him, "Brother, it's time to eat." Xiao Shan moved, but felt that he couldn't move his whole body, he just lay down and didn't move.

Xiao Xiao was very dissatisfied, "If you don't eat and let go, I don't care about you."

Xiao Shan felt his chest throbbing violently and felt very tired, he closed his eyes and fell asleep.

It seemed that after a long time, someone slapped his face, but he still didn't want to open his eyes.

A glass of cold water poured down on him, and the slippery feeling made him feel like he had an illusion—he was like a dog lying on the street in the rain.Thinking of this, he couldn't help laughing.

When he opened his eyes, he saw the woman's face and his sister.

"You don't eat, right? You have a backbone, but don't think about asking me to spend another penny for you," the woman said.

Xiao Shan looked at her as if looking at a stranger.But the woman was furious, "Both big and small are useless, I really didn't marry your fucking father until eight lifetimes ago..." The more she spoke, the more excited she became, and she kept cursing.

Xiao Shan didn't seem to hear what she was saying, but just looked at the distorted face.After a while, she was finally tired and left angrily.

Xiao Xiao looked at him, and slowly pulled him up, "Brother, don't be lazy." She had an adult face, "It's much warmer down there than on your top", she looked at him with a pale face, as if What a lucky thing happened to him.

Xiao Shan just smiled and said to her, "Go to sleep, I won't be lazy."He didn't want to make her cry, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble.The girl left happily.

Xiao Shan slowly leaned on the chair next to him, rubbed his sore knees, and tried hard to stand up, but failed once.He rubbed it slowly, but it still didn't work.Although he would stop and rest for a while when they couldn't see him, he was still half dead.

Hehe, am I going to be scrapped, he thought to himself.Climbing forward a few steps vigorously, the whole body stuck to the dirty floor.He simply stopped and just lay on his stomach like that, "I'm really like a dog" he thought.

In the middle of the night, maybe God was also moved by him. He finally stood up with difficulty and walked slowly to the kitchen. Usually he always left some leftovers for him, but now there is nothing, he sneered With a cry, he picked up a potato, rinsed it on the water pipe, and cut it into small pieces with a knife. Not to mention, it was quite delicious, Xiao Shan thought, this is the most delicious potato he has ever eaten in his life...

Zheng Ling looked at Xiao Yanfeng, took out a passport from his wallet, and gestured with his hand, Xiao Yanfeng immediately took it readily.

"I will take everything from Xiaoshan," he said calmly.

"Whatever you want, there is nothing valuable anyway." The man seemed more interested in sex.

"Apart from those few books, is there anything else?"

"I don't know... I should throw it all away."

"If there is one, I want it too"

"Okay, anyway, I'm too lazy to throw away this junk"

……

Zheng Ling returned to the original attic, and took out those books that were piled up with thick dust. The books were so dirty, Xiao Yanfeng immediately stood aside holding his nose.Zheng Ling cleaned them up casually before he could barely see their original appearance.

Xiao Shan has always attached great importance to books, and never let them get a little dusty, even other people's books are the same. Somehow, these few things that belong to him really look like this now, can he just have the heart to let them be lonely lying on the cold floor.

Zheng Ling didn't think about it any more, and walked out with those books in his arms.Because they came secretly this time, he parked his car on a road far away, and he had to pass through a narrow alley to get there.

He always felt that someone was following him, and when he realized something was wrong, he quickened his pace, but that person suddenly jumped out and shouted at his back:

"Brother Xiao Shan, are you back?"

Hearing the man's name, he froze, then turned his head, and the man ran towards him immediately.

Seeing his face, the man was obviously disappointed, and said to him, "I'm sorry, I recognized the wrong person."

"Do you know Xiao Shan?"

"know"

"Who are you?"

The man froze for a moment, "Do you know Brother Xiao Shan?"

Zheng Ling gave an impatient "hmm".

"Then do you know where he is?" The man's voice seemed eager.

"I don't know." Zheng Ling put the book in the boy's hands, and took out a cigarette from his pocket.

The boy looked disappointed.

"What are you looking for him for?"Zheng Ling asked with a cigarette in his mouth.

"Of course I thank him." The boy's face showed joy, "He is the best person I have ever met," the boy said proudly.

Hehe, upon hearing this sentence, Zheng Ling was calm on the surface, but he was laughing wildly in his heart.

"why"

"Because he is the only one who is willing to help me." The boy recalled something, and said intermittently, "My grandma is sick, and all relatives at home are unwilling to help me. Only Brother Xiaoshan is willing to lend me money..." The boy suddenly took He began to cry, "Although my grandma was still not rescued, I still thank him."

After speaking, he took out a paper bag from his pocket, shook it, and said with a smile, "I originally wanted to pay him back these first, and I will work hard for the rest." His voice was a bit sad.

"Did he not ask you for interest?"

"……No"

"He is truly compassionate"

"……You are?"

"You don't have to know"

Zheng Ling took the money from him, "I will return it to him, don't worry"

"..."

"You don't have to pay back the rest"

"..."

"Why don't you trust me"

"..."

"He still owes me 300 million, which is not even enough for interest"

"..."...

Zheng Ling cut off the cigarette in his hand, "Why don't you leave me my phone number, my phone number is *************, remember it?"

"...-_-||...Okay"

Zheng Ling slowly put the money into his pocket, said to himself, "It was originally my money..." and then turned and left.

Zheng Ling suddenly felt that the boy looked a little familiar, and he tried to think about it, "Isn't this the little junior high school student who "hero saved the beauty" in Xiaoshan back then? He looks like this."

Xiao Shan, you helped him because he resembled you. His parents were absent, he lived with his grandma since he was a child, he was bullied and neglected since he was a child... But he is still different from you. After all, he still has his grandmother. Take care of growing up, and who are you?

Zheng Ling smiled wryly in his heart, but then he became a little excited—poor people must have something to hate, cut!
