Chapter 31 World 4

The cold wind is howling, it only snowed heavily yesterday, and now it is white as far as the eye can see.The cold, damp and biting magic damage in the south is hard to resist no matter how many coats and equipment you have, people almost stay behind closed doors except for the necessary maintenance of life.

There are very few pedestrians on the cold and lonely road. Occasionally, people pass by with their heads buried in their heads and bodies, and the white snow is infinitely crushed and solidified by the soles of their shoes, stepping on a brown-yellow path that is constantly melting.

Zhao Wenle rolled up his sleeves and stomped non-stop at the edge of the alley. When the wind was strong, he would hide in the alley, leaning against the wall and listening carefully to the movement on the road.

The snow is rustling, and there are people.

Zhao Wenle poked his head out, a buddy probably in high school, dressed clean and thick, with a Bluetooth headset plugged in, an iPhone dangling from his chest, his hands in his pockets, his eyes fixed, he looked so rich.

After a little calculation, he couldn't run, and turned his head back in disappointment. Two figures, one large and one small, appeared in the corner of his eyes. Zhao Wenle's eyes lit up and he looked intently.

At the end of the road came a young mother holding a five or six-year-old child, with a purse slung across her shoulders and a shopping bag hanging on her arm. She must have returned from shopping in the supermarket with her baby.

There is a play.

Zhao Wenle leaned back against the wall and waited patiently, rehearsing nervously in his mind.

The woman led the child closer and closer, and appeared in his field of vision. Zhao Wenle stretched his body and was ready to go. The woman walked through the alley, exposing her entire back. One meter, two meters, three meters, Zhao Wenle exerted force with his heels, and popped out. , crashing like a flying arrow.

"Boom", the woman fell into the snow firmly facing the ground. Zhao Wenle quickly tore away the bag and kicked over the shopping bags on the ground. He was about to run away, but the woman knelt down and grabbed his ankle, screaming, "Help! Rob! Rob!"

Zhao Wenle was so anxious that he kicked her in the face, changed his direction abruptly and kicked her on the shoulder, the woman let go of the pain, and Zhao Wenle ran wildly.

Panting all the way, I ran back to the slums, took advantage of no one to pull out the valuables in the bag, the necklace and ring were hidden in the tube shoes, the red RMB was put in the sleeve, and the green and blue pockets were not dared to ask for the mobile phone. Throw it in the trash can.

Go home with the ribs in your arms.

Grandma can't stand the cold, and she has been sleeping badly since winter, and has been tossing and turning all night for the past few days. It might be even worse when the snow melts, so she still has to buy medicine.

Zhao Wenle was thinking about something, bumped into a person head-on, and hurriedly said with a smile, "Brother Hu."

The man with a cigarette squinted his eyes, raised his lips and smiled, the scar on his right face was even more hideous, "Xiao Le, are you buying meat for grandma again?"

"Yes, the doctor said to eat more nutrition, it's good for your health." Zhao Wenle nodded, with an indescribably cute face.

Brother Hu smiled again, his rough palm slipped from the boy's hair, and rubbed against his earlobe, "Xiao Le is a filial child, remember to ask Brother Hu if you need something."

The boy's eyes were bright, and he nodded gratefully.

"Go."

Zhao Wenle bowed his head and hurried home, the burning sight on his back made him want to vomit.

City D is a third-tier city. As prosperous as the city center is, the slums are as dirty as they are.

Run across rows of old gray walls, pass through fragile wooden doors, and stop when passing by the next door.He remembered that the walls of this old courtyard were dilapidated. Although the interior area was large, there was only one ruined earthen house. Usually, the courtyard door was wide open to make people want to explore, but today the door was closed, and there was even smoke from the kitchen. .

Resident?

That's pathetic, hope it doesn't freeze to death.

Pushing open the door of his own courtyard, he shouted loudly, "Grandma, Lele is back!"

"Hey~~~" The old man in the stone house echoed with a drawn voice.

Zhao Wenle ran and jumped into the house, lying beside the old man's bed, his eyebrows beaming, "Grandma, look! Today our boss married his daughter, and everyone who ate wine gave two hundred red envelopes, and the hotel staff even sent ribs!"

The old man was half-lying on the bed, and when he heard the words, he raised his kind eyebrows and said happily, "Okay~~ The boss is kind, Lele must remember to reciprocate."

"Grandma who knows!" Zhao Wenle dragged out the basin under the bed to empty it in the toilet, rinsed it with the morning wash water and put it back under the bed.

Grinning at the grandma who had been doting on her eyes all the time, she turned to the kitchen to cook.

Zhao Wenle's culinary skills are very poor, even though he has been cooking for five years.

Since the old man became paralyzed, he was responsible for all the cooking and cooking, and he still had to go to school.There is often a lack of oil and salt at home, so he can only boil and stir-fry.After the doctor recommended a light diet last year, nine times out of ten I boiled it.

Fortunately, the old man doesn't mind, and thinks it's good and fuel-efficient.

Just this pot of meat, which smells bland, can also attract the neighbors. Zhao Wenle held the spoon and looked at the person at the door, his eyes became more sympathetic.

Song Li pursed his lips, feeling a little annoyed. He spent the whole afternoon tidying up the yard. As soon as the boy came home, he knocked on the door impatiently.But it was the first time I saw my brother's fourteen or fifteen-year-old green and tender appearance, and I couldn't bear to leave.

"Stand at the door." The young man gave him a hard look, and slammed the door shut, "Wait."

"..." The gate of the courtyard closed in front of his eyes without mercy, and the indifferent wind blew over, making his face hurt.

"Who is Lele?"

"Begging!" Zhao Wenle ran back to turn the ribs over.There are all kinds of bad people here, every door and every household is too busy to take care of themselves, and you have to be careful about helping neighbors and being willing to help others.

Last month, Sister Yingchun rescued a man. It is said that the man fell to the door of her house covered in blood. He was taken home and cared for for more than half a month. He just ate the savior. Sister Yingchun's parents howled in the alley every day, terrified.What's more, my family is old and weak, and my grandma has hidden medical expenses under her pillow. Oil and rice are precious, so don't let others covet them.

The color of the pork ribs became lighter, and Zhao Wenle raised the salt bag to shake, and the fine snowflakes fell on the water involuntarily and disappeared in a blink of an eye, like an irresistible fate and fleeting life.

The boy stirred the bottom of the pot, scooped out a small mouthful of soup and tasted it, it was salty, smashed it if you were satisfied, sprinkled a handful of chopped green onions, and served it~~~

Zhao Wenle brought a big bowl of rice and pork ribs to grandma, brought another bowl of rice with soup and opened the door, "Your."

Song Li took it, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, gentle and polite, "Thank you, my name is Song Li, I moved next door today, I am not familiar with this place, and the two families may move around frequently in the future. Call me if you need help."

Zhao Wenle looked at him carefully, he was very good-looking and his clothes were new, his skin was tender and he didn't look like a down-and-out person, but he only wore a sweater in the twelfth lunar month of winter... I see, my brain is sick.

"Oh, remember to return the bowl." It closed with a bang.He bet the new neighbor wouldn't last a week.

After eating, I sucked the last piece of ribs in my mouth, boiled water, washed dishes, washed pots, and rubbed clothes. While rubbing, I opened my throat, "The big river flows eastward, the stars in the sky are in the Big Dipper, hey, hey, hey, in the Big Dipper..." The wind whizzed and lingered, snowflakes on the roof flew into the yard one after another, and the world became lively.

The old man on the bed laughed and watched. The kitten picked up under the bridge more than ten years ago has grown up unconsciously.This is her grandson, the most considerate gift given by God in pity on this lonely old man who has been doing his duty all his life.

It's dark, but there are lights in the house.

Zhao Wenle filled a rubber bag with boiling water and stuffed it into grandma's quilt, holding a Chinese book and telling stories to grandma, "Xiang Zhuang began to dance the sword, and the sword slashed at Xiang Yu..." The young man used the book as a sword, and on the old man's body Make blind gestures before.The old man was overjoyed.

Orange lights ironed every corner.

[-]. Going to bed at [-] o'clock, in order to get up early and save electricity.

"Dong dong dong" someone knocked on the courtyard door.

Zhao Wenle pushed open the door of the house, stuck out his nose and mouth, and yelled across the yard, "Who!!"

The male voice is thick and vigorous, "Brother Tiger."

Looking at the dark courtyard gate, Zhao Wenle suddenly trembled.

Brother Hu's boss is a loan shark, and he is responsible for debt collection.Once I saw a man with his brothers push the debtor to the ground and cut off his fingers, neatly and skillfully, he turned his head and smiled at him.

Later, I heard that the only son of that family was dragged to pay off the debt. The boy was about the same age as me, and I went to inquire about it so that I could find a job.The answers he got made him sick and frightened.

The door of the compound was kicked hard, and another voice said impatiently, "Open the door!"

Zhao Wenle's heart trembled, he turned his head to look at grandma, and opened the door with a beating heartbeat, "Hello, Brother Hu."

The tall and strong man grabbed the other two who were about to walk into the courtyard, and nodded to Zhao Wenle, "Leave after asking."

The man on the right made a hasty sound and stepped on the wall.

The person on the left leaned over his head and whispered, "Boy, who lives next door to you? How many are there? How old are you? If you explain in detail, you will be rewarded."

Zhao Wenle crossed and clenched his knuckles behind him, and looked over with blank eyes.

"Do you know who lives next door to your house?" asked again.

Zhao Wenle shook his head.

"Maybe he just came here and hasn't contacted him yet. Let's go and find out in person tomorrow." Brother Hu made a conclusion, then smiled at him, "Go to bed early."

The man on the right suddenly smiled and turned his head to look him up and down.

Zhao Wenle nodded obediently, closed the door calmly, and breathed a sigh of relief.

This and the two nearby alleys are under the joint jurisdiction of Brother Hu and Brother Bao. Other bastards dare not mess around, but residents have to make offerings. It can be cash, cabinets, tables and chairs, whatever you pay It all depends on the mood of the two of them.

No one next door can afford a coat, and they don't know what will happen tomorrow.

After repeatedly confirming that the valve was tightened, Zhao Wenle rushed into the house and locked the door, said hello to grandma, then turned off the light and climbed onto the bed.

The two beds in the room faced each other, and after a while, the old man was heard snoring.

Zhao Wenle lightly got out of the quilt, turned the shoes upside down, dropped the necklace and ring on the bed, picked out the sleeves, put all the banknotes into the bag in the hole in the wall, and lay back.

I can't feel at ease, the place where the child kicked and beat is aching, and the woman's eyes piercing the heart and lungs while looking at the garbage.

Cover your head, cut off all light sources, as if cut off all sight.

While thinking about where to start tomorrow, he spurned himself, his chest burned like a fire cooking oil.

Grow up quickly, let me be enough to shelter from the wind and rain.

Hurry up and be strong, let me stand upright.

I am willing to accept all retribution and let the old man in the house live a peaceful old age.

I would like to use the rest of my life to repay the world and make up for all the broken hearts.

Zhao Wenle suddenly remembered that the person he saw in the afternoon, who looked as bright as the moon, would fall into the nest of snakes and rats, and he didn't know whether he would be crushed or fell into the mud.

Don't be afraid, no one knows the future.
