how to chase boys

"Uncle." I don't know how long it has been since I was pulled into the car, and the black cloth strips on my eyes have never been taken off. It may be because I am not afraid of my shouting in a relatively remote place. The tape was torn off for me.

I swallowed, moved my stiff limbs a little, and asked in a low voice, "Can you give me a sip of water."

My throat was about to smoke, and Tang Shi was lying next to me without moving, which made me panic even more.

I don't know where Tang Shi and I were taken here, the air is filled with the smell of pancake fruit and fried noodles, and the cold and rough concrete floor is beneath us.

There was the sound of pouring water in my ears. I thought there was hope for drinking water, so I raised my neck and waited eagerly for them to pour water.

Who knew that in the next second I was splashed with water, the person who splashed the water laughed and said, "Here is it for you, drink it."

I flinched, licked the water off my lips, and leaned against the wall behind me.

"Okay, what are you doing bullying a child?"

The voice of the hoarse man was easy to distinguish. He said, "Go and guard the door first, and I will contact the boss surnamed Cheng later."

There was a clatter of footsteps on the dull concrete floor, and everyone else in the room seemed to be out.

"Kid," the man with a hoarse voice squatted in front of me, "Be honest, I promise you and your classmate will be fine."

I stuck to the wall and dared not move or make a sound.

The person got up and didn't know what to get, I heard the sound of splashing water again, this time no one splashed me with water, the porcelain bowl collided with the concrete floor and made a muffled sound.

"I put the water here for you, drink it."

The man left after dropping the water, and I heard a door slam in the direction he was leaving.

"Tang Shi..."

I was tied up and couldn't move, so I squirmed and moved to the right with some difficulty based on my intuition, and it really stuck to a warm body.

I rubbed against him twice and called his name.

"Tang Shi, wake up, how are you doing now?"

Xu was awakened by my shaking, Tang Shi moaned softly beside me, and asked a little weakly, "Cheng Yueguang?"

"It's me, it's me!" When I first heard his voice, I was so excited that my voice trembled a little, "Are you okay?"

"Ah."

Although Tang Shi responded to me, I was still very worried, so I squirmed and moved back to the original position, looking for the bowl of water bit by bit.

After finding the water, I leaned sideways on the ground and took a big mouthful of water with great difficulty.

When I stood up with water in my mouth, I lost my balance. My head shook and my chin hit the bowl, spilling all the remaining water.

I almost wailed, and with great effort I controlled my throat's desire for water, and slowly rubbed against Tang Shi's side with the water in my mouth.

Tang Shi has been silent since he woke up just now. I rubbed my head on his body bit by bit, and after I found his mouth, I wanted to pass the water in my mouth to him.

I don't know if it was because of getting angry, but Tang Shi's lips were very hot and dry.

When the water in my mouth was halfway through, I closed my teeth tightly and refused to accept my water, so I had to swallow the remaining half of the water by myself.

The burning throat got a little relief, and I swallowed again, wishing I could pounce on the ground and lick dry the water I knocked over.

"Tang Shi," of course I couldn't go back to lick the water, curled up next to Tang Shi and asked him in a low voice, "I heard they said you were bleeding, are you okay?"

Tang Shi didn't make a sound, I continued, "I'm in pain, very uncomfortable."

"...I'm fine, I'm fine." Tang Shi cleared his throat, his voice sounded weak, but still clear.

"come to me."

I went over as promised, Tang shi adjusted his posture and let me lean on him.

He asked me if I was sleepy and if I wanted to sleep for a while.

The room is not ventilated, and the oily smell of pancake fruit lingers in my nose, making my stomach a little nauseous.It's okay if Tang Shi didn't say it, but when he said it, I really felt sleepy.

I yawned silently and leaned gently in Tang Shi's arms.

"Tang Shi..." The temperature on Tang Shi's body was very hot, and my eyelids seemed to be filled with lead, and I couldn't open them more and more, and my voice became smaller and smaller: "Did they cover your eyes? I can't see anything..."

Tang Shi said softly, "Sleep for a while when you're sleepy, and call my name when you're scared."

Before waiting for Tang Shi's answer, I fell asleep drowsily.

In fact, it is not considered to have fallen asleep. The cold and humid place can corrode people's will too much. After thinking about it, I may not have fallen asleep at the time, but was in a semi-comatose state of body and mind.

I remembered that Tang Shi said that I was afraid to call his name, and I should subconsciously call his name many times in a daze.

"Tang Shi..."

I called him again, Tang Shi hummed.

I went on to say, "I'm sorry, I hurt you."

Only the sound of Tang Shi's breathing remained in my ears. Tang Shi's breathing was very hot, and it made me flinch when it hit my ears.

"Tang Shi?" I was a little scared, "Tang Shi, can you say something?"

"Um……"

It took a while for Tang Shi to respond to me, as if he couldn't think before he realized my question, and said in a very weak voice, "It's not your fault, I don't blame you."

"boom!"

The door was suddenly pushed open by someone, and someone came over with a gust of wind and pulled me away from Tang Shi.

"say!"

He slammed something in his hand to my mouth, probably a phone, because I heard my mother's broken cry.

The corner of the phone collided with my teeth and broke a hole in my mouth. My mouth was full of blood, and I said blankly: "Mom?"

"Son! My son!"

My mother's crying broke down even more, she cried and said, "I'll give you money! I'll give you whatever you want, don't harm my son, please don't harm my son!"

The man who grabbed me gasped and said, "Don't hurt your son? Did you think about our children when you withheld our wages? My brother who died, his son was only eight years old. There is no money to see a doctor, and the lungs are burned!"

"He's only eight years old! What are you bastards going to pay for!"

The more he talked, the more excited he was, he threw me heavily to the ground and wanted to go out with his mobile phone.

I don't know if it was a coincidence, but I just fell on top of Tang Shi, and he let out a muffled groan.

I quickly rolled off of him and opened my mouth. The smell of blood in my mouth didn't dissipate. I was dizzy and my ears were ringing.

Tang Shi asked me how I was, I licked the wound on my mouth, and reluctantly said, "I'm fine."

Something was said outside, the man pushed the door open again and came in, knelt down and put the phone by Tang Shi's mouth to let him talk too.

Tang shi didn't make a sound, the man cursed and raised his foot to kick him.I was in a hurry, and because of the rope tied to my body, I couldn't move, so I struggled to stop him. I couldn't help but lie face down on the ground, a large piece of skin was wiped off my lips, and my nose was smashed.

I cried out in pain, the man quickly pulled me up from the ground to look at it, cursed again, and called for someone to come over and treat the blood on my face.

I heard the sound of footsteps, and the man said again, "Take care of the wounds of that kid on the ground, and passed out."

Passed out?

My heart sank, I was anxious, and worried about something happening to Tang Shi, and I couldn't care less about being afraid, so I said to those people, "Please let him go, just leave me here, please."

As I was talking, I choked up, and my mind automatically imagined Tang Shi's bloody face, "Let him go, he will die..."

I choked up and said, "My dad obviously gave you money, why are you doing this?"

"Don't cry," the person who asked me to answer the phone said in a rough voice: "Fuck, we told you above that if your father doesn't settle the money, we won't have money to pay wages, so we can only take some measures to find you wanted."

"you're lying!"

I couldn't see with a cloth on my eyes, and there was still some dry blood in my mouth.I raised my head in the direction the voice said, and said loudly: "You are lying! My father is not that kind of person. It is obvious that you are greedy and keep asking for money!"

"Fart." The man kicked me, and the back of my head hit the wall with a bang.

"Cough cough cough..."

Tang shi woke up again. Those people were probably treating his wound. The attack was probably not serious. I heard Tang shi suppressed a hum in his throat.

I was more anxious than him, and I didn't care about the pain in my head, so I shouted: "Can you be gentle!"

"He-damn, then do it yourself."

Someone tore off the cloth covering my eyes, and the room was lit with incandescent lamps. My eyes, which had been blindfolded for too long, suddenly saw the light, and the irritated tears flowed from my eyes, sour and swollen.

They untied the rope from my hand again and said, "You better not have any thoughts other than giving him medicine, or don't blame us for being rude."

My eyes adapted to the light, and I was about to look up when I shouted angrily above my head: "Don't look at us!"

I shivered from being yelled at, and walked to Tang Shi's side on my knees.

Tang Shi closed his eyes and leaned against the table leg, his long eyelashes were tangled together, his face was pale, and his lips were abnormally white.

There were cotton swabs and iodophor on the chair next to him. I went to grab Tang Shi's upper body and let him lean against me. My fingers tremblingly stroked his hair looking for wounds.

During this period, Tang Shi opened his eyes, his eyes were out of focus, at least he glanced at me.

He stared at me for a while, probably out of strength, and closed his eyes again.

After a while, he opened his eyes and looked at me again, and closed them after he had no strength.

After going back and forth like this, I watched him feel sore and uncomfortable, and after applying the medicine to the wound on his head, I buried my face on his shoulder and sobbed choked.

"Alright, alright."

Those people wanted to pull us away, but I held Tang Shi tightly and refused to let go.

They had no choice but to leave two people in the room to watch us, and the rest went to the door to discuss what to do next.

Tang Shi had a fever, so I ignored the two people in the room and put my cold face on Tang Shi's forehead to cool him down.

My face was covered with congealed blood, I wiped it casually with my hands, and quietly nestled in the corner with Tang Shi in my arms.

One of the people who stayed in the room and looked at us was that stammer, he walked towards us and stammered and asked me: "Small, kid, do you want to eat, do you want to eat?"

He struggled to speak, so he only spoke halfway, and threw half a pancake in front of me.

I lowered my head not to look at his face, and felt that half of the pancake fruit was disgusting, so I hugged Tang Shi and tilted my head.

This action pissed off another person who stayed in the house, and he asked me if I was looking down on what they were eating.

He came over and picked up the pancake fruit on the ground, tore off the plastic bag outside and pressed it to my mouth for me to eat.

A greasy and spicy smell rushed straight into my nose. I clenched my teeth and refused to open my mouth. Fortunately, the stutter was not bad. I reached out to snatch the pancake fruit, "You, what are you doing, what are you doing!"

He snatched the pancakes and threw them away, and said angrily, "Don't, don't do that! Fourth, fourth brother said, we just want money!"

"Damn it." The man spat, and the saliva landed on Tang Shi's trouser legs. I quickly wiped it with my sleeve, enduring my nausea.

The man kicked me and said viciously: "I just can't understand these city people, all of them have thin skin and tender flesh, and their stomachs are full of bad water!"
