fierce god

The year Li Yinglan met Gao Kun for the first time, he was 11 years old and Gao Kun was 14 years old...

Li Yinglan stood on the side of the road watching the passing cars and pedestrians, and not far away came a group of friends chattering around him and asking questions.

"I have dozens of them, Li Yinglan, how many do you have?"

"Money is not counted by the number of tickets. You have a lot, but they are all one yuan and ten yuan. I have 20 yuan!"

"I have 50 yuan! Li Yinglan, how much do you have?!"

Listening to the group of chattering inquiries, Li Yinglan finally turned her head, weighed the box in her hand, and turned the front to show them.

"Wow, red ones, there are a lot of them, and they are worth [-] yuan! Is it fake?"

Li Yinglan turned sideways again to stop those groping hands, and said, "It's almost there, let's go back."

It was enough for everyone to figure it out, and they couldn't help but walk to the school, only a little girl with braids at the end looked distressed. Seeing Li Yinglan looking over, she said sadly: "I only have five yuan... I'm the least...why?" manage?"

Li Yinglan thought for a while, then suddenly reached out her hand and said, "I'll change with you, you go back first, I'll go find someone."

The little girl blushed, she was embarrassed to stare at Li Yinglan, but she heard Li Yinglan say: "I move very fast, you are too slow."

Then, without looking at the girl who was a little dazed, she changed the box, turned around and left.

It's four o'clock in the afternoon, but the No. [-] Middle School in U City, which is across the street, finishes school later than them, so now is the busiest time. Li Yinglan walked along the street, and the box became heavy after a while , It's just that most of them are small change, which can't be compared with just now. He estimated the number by himself and felt that it was not close.

He looked left and right, and saw a tall boy standing among a group of girls, one by one, handing out marshmallows, and the girls happily continued, overjoyed.

Li Yinglan walked up to them and stood silently beside them for a while before being noticed. He didn't look at the girls who stared at the stars, but directly stood in front of the boy and said softly, "Brother...do you want to donate?"

"My little one, so cute..."

"Is it a girl? How do you wear a boy's school uniform?"

"I don't have a zero, do you have one?"

"I have chocolate, brother, do you want it? Do you want marshmallows?"

……

While chattering, Li Yinglan just looked at the boy in front of her without moving, which made him a little embarrassed.

"You...why do you only look at me? How do you know I'm rich?"

Li Yinglan said something that made everyone laugh: "My mother said that good-looking people are richer."

"Hahahaha, so good at talking... Song Weihao, hurry up, don't be so stingy."

"You don't have one, do you want me to give you a pad?"

During the booing of a group of girls, the little Kaizi named Song Weihao naturally had to take money out of his pocket, and he was also flattered by being praised for his good looks.

Seeing a [-] bill slide into the box, Li Yinglan nodded to him: "Thank you brother."

Then turn around to look for the next target.

The next moment, he saw another boy coming out of the school gate, this time alone, Li Yinglan greeted him as usual.

"Brother, do you want to donate?"

Gao Kun was hurrying out while checking the time with his schoolbag on his back. When he heard the movement, he turned his head and saw a little boy standing in front of him, who was wearing a pink-blue sportswear attached to No. [-] Middle School. He is holding a huge donation box, the money inside has been spread several layers, it should not be light.

Gao Kun paused because of the child's appearance and also because of what the other party said.

It is carved in powder and jade, just like a living porcelain doll.

Seeing that he didn't respond, the child couldn't help but said again: "Brother, do you want to donate? It's to help raise school fees for children in mountainous areas."

Gao Kun came back to his senses, touched his pocket, and took out three coins, not yuan, but Mao. He looked at the little boy, and put his hand back in embarrassment.

"Sorry, I don't have...no change."

"It's fine if it's not change." Li Yinglan looked at the fifty that was exposed in Gao Kun's trouser pocket.

Gao Kun hurriedly squeezed the money in his hands: "That...that's not mine, sorry, I can't donate it."

Li Yinglan lowered her head: "The children in the mountains are very poor."

"I know……"

"They can't read books."

"..."

"No fifty, twenty is fine, they can buy schoolbags, books and pens..."

"..."

"That ten yuan, the teacher said that it can cover lunch for a week, and as long as you donate, you can have a small badge on your body."

Gao Kun frowned, the fifty in his hands had become a pickle, and in the end he just choked out "I'm sorry..."

Li Yinglan raised her head and looked straight at him, the young man in front of her was very tall, only her chin and straight nose could be seen from Li Yinglan's angle.

"I'm sorry..." Under the eyes of the child, Gao Kun repeated it again, with a slight look of shame on his face.

"It's ok."

Li Yinglan saw his expression, and suddenly passed the box over.

Gao Kun was taken aback, and hurriedly continued.

Li Yinglan took out a sticker from her pocket, carefully tore off one, and stuck it on Gao Kun's shoulder on tiptoe.

"I'll give it to you, I hope you can become rich next time."

The child's outspokenness made Gao Kun dumbfounded. He couldn't tell whether it was a blessing or a sarcasm, so he could only watch the little figure take back the donation box, then turned and left.

……

The second time I met Li Yinglan was after Li Yinglan's mid-term exam. She had finished all her sixth grade subjects at [-]:[-] p.m., but Li Yinglan waited at the school gate until [-]:[-] p.m., but still no one came to pick him up.

A "bang" glare flashed across the sky, and the patter of rain fell from the sky. Li Yinglan took out the raincoat from her school bag and put it on, then looked at her phone, but there was no movement.

Booming, there was another thunder. Li Yinglan knew that he couldn't stand here in heavy rain, so he went to the opposite supermarket. He didn't buy anything, so he didn't go in, and just stood against the wall.Biyi Road is very long. In the morning and evening rush hour, there are two schools and it will be extraordinarily lively. But when it disperses on the hour, the road will become empty, replaced by the lights of thousands of households on both sides.

Li Yinglan was paying attention to the vehicles passing by on both sides of the street, while counting the number of lights in the opposite building, at this moment he saw the figure stumbling towards him in the rain.

The man's umbrella was quite big, but the frame was too soft, and it looked like a lotus leaf on the lake when it was blown left and right by the strong wind, and the cheap plastic poncho fluttered with the wind, spreading out a huge area The area is very eye-catching.But he didn't care about these things at all, he just hugged the things in his arms tightly, and walked step by step with difficulty, and when he came in front of Li Yinglan, he finally couldn't hold on and fell to the ground.

Li Yinglan looked at the thing that rolled to his feet, and saw the other party pick it up in embarrassment, paused for a moment, then bent down to help him pick it up.

"Thank you, thank you...thank you..."

The two of them worked for a long time before they finally cleaned up. The rain outside was so heavy that the man couldn't leave, so he had to tilt his head and squat down on the opposite side.

It is only now that I can see clearly that the other party is holding a super-large foam box with several layers. The first layer has N holes pierced and filled with various pens. The second layer is filled with some notebooks and stationery. The first layer was accidentally spilled just now.

Li Yinglan held the pens in both hands and placed them in front of the man. The man raised his head again and smiled to express his gratitude to him. When he saw Li Yinglan's face, he couldn't help being surprised.

"Yes, it's you..."

Li Yinglan's face was cold, and she didn't remember the other party's appearance at all.

"Well, I'm..." Gao Kun wanted to introduce himself, but scratched his head and felt that it was meaningless, so he just smiled and lowered his head to continue arranging his things.

Suddenly a person squatted in front of him, watching Gao Kun's movements curiously, and for a moment Li Yinglan asked, "What is this for?"

Gao Kun wanted to wipe it with the rag that he brought with him, but found that it was too dirty to use, but he was not willing to throw it away, so he just pulled out a corner of his clothes and wiped the wet pens on it one by one. clean.

"Sell it." Gao Kun said.

Li Yinglan was inexplicable: "Do you sell ballpoint pens? Why?"

Gao Kun smiled: "Make money."

"Don't you have any money?" Li Yinglan stared at him with wide eyes.

Gao Kun still smiled: "It's a little bit, so keep earning."

"What do you want to buy after earning money? Comic books?" Same as the boys in the class.

Gao Kun shook his head and said nothing.

Li Yinglan didn't speak anymore. He was originally a child who seldom talked. Unless it was necessary, he basically didn't like to communicate with strangers. It was already rare to ask a few questions out of curiosity today.

Feeling that the person in front of him was staring at his hand, Gao Kun took a tin box from the lower floor and handed it to Li Yinglan.

"For you, thank you for your help today."

Li Yinglan also shook her head.

Gao Kun said: "You're welcome, it's not worth a lot of money, I can earn it back by setting up a stall for a while."

Li Yinglan still didn't reach out, until Gao Kun persuaded him a few more words: "It's a bit ugly."

Gao Kun was taken aback, his hands froze in mid-air for a moment before he retracted them: "Yes, yes..."

Li Yinglan nodded: "Well, the color is very earthy, no one should buy it."

"No wonder..." Gao Kun murmured softly.

"Do you have no business?" Li Yinglan asked again.

Gao Kun felt that the child was like a little adult, and he spoke every word in an orderly and rigid manner, so he couldn't help but smiled awkwardly: "It's a little... But it might be better if I change the place."

Li Yinglan wanted to say that it might not get better, but seeing the expression on the person in front of her who was carefully handling the goods like a treasure, she kept her mouth shut.

The atmosphere fell into silence again, and Li Yinglan leaned back against the wall again.

Gao Kun looked up at the other party and asked, "It's so late, is there no one from your family to pick you up?"

Li Yinglan didn't answer, and seemed to temporarily close the window to communicate with the outside world.

Gao Kun also closed his mouth.

The rain outside has not stopped. Gao Kun finished wiping his pen, checked the weather, turned around and went into the supermarket, and came out with a piece of bread in his hand after a while.

He just opened the package and was about to bite, but turned his head and saw Li Yinglan, he hesitated for a while and stretched out his hand.

"are you hungry?"

Li Yinglan turned her face sideways and glanced at the dry thing.

Gao Kun said: "It's on sale, but it hasn't expired, and it's still two hours away, so hurry up and eat."

Li Yinglan looked at the other party with an expression of looking at a fool, and looked away disinterestedly.

Gao Kun then withdrew his hand, and started to gnaw in big mouthfuls, only halfway through the gnawing, he looked towards the opposite side, facing Li Yinglan who had no time to turn his face away.

Gao Kun swallowed the food and said, "Are you really not going to eat it?"

Li Yinglan was silent, and the next moment the bread was delivered to her nose again.

"Eat it, I heard your stomach growl." Gao Kun said with a smile, and for a moment he saw a momentary unnatural flash across the face of the doll-like child, "Okay, you lied to me, you My belly may not be louder than thunder."

Li Yinglan seemed to be struggling in her heart, and finally thought of the person in front of her eating just now, she still couldn't hold back her hunger, took the bread, and just tasted it in small bites, but she didn't see much good taste.

"Is it too dry?" Gao Kun looked at his dry expression, felt in his trouser pocket, then gritted his teeth and bought a bottle of water, "Here, just drink it, don't choke. "

As she said that, she actually patted Li Yinglan's back lightly, as if she was really afraid that he would choke.

Li Yinglan took a mouthful of bread and a sip of water, and it was already a rice paste in her mouth, but as the hand stroking behind her slowly slipped into her throat, she actually felt that the taste was much better.

Then, he really ate Gao Kun's leftover half of the bread.

After barely filling his stomach, the rain finally subsided. Gao Kun looked at the time and asked Li Yinglan, "Do you want to call your family?"

"There is no one at home." Li Yinglan said.

"Then who will pick you up?" Gao Kun asked.

Li Yinglan replied: "I don't know."

Gao Kun was surprised: "Where... do you live at home? Shall I take you back?" Fearing that Li Yinglan wouldn't believe it, he added, "I just go to No. [-] Middle School, so I'm not a bad person."

Li Yinglan probably thought it was funny, so she directly said the address of Green Rock Garden, and then said: "There is a taxi there, there is no car to get there."

Gao Kun knew the place, and knew that Li Yinglan was telling the truth. He touched his pocket for the nth time today.

"Okay, it's too late now, let's go ahead and call a taxi." Gao Kun lifted the tattered foam box and motioned for Li Yinglan to follow him.

Li Yinglan didn't move: "You can actually call the police."

Gao Kun turned around: "Do you want me to call the police?"

Li Yinglan was silent.

Gao Kun stepped forward and held his hand: "Let's go."

In the cold night, this young man's hands were warm, Li Yinglan was pulled by him, and he carefully walked around the pond on the ground, and then got into the car.

Before starting, Li Yinglan suddenly said, "Let's go to Haibin Road."

Gao Kun had no objection and repeated it to the driver.

Haibin Road is farther than Green Rock Garden, and it took more than half an hour to drive all the way. When she got off the bus, Li Yinglan had already fallen asleep, leaning against Gao Kun's arms.

Gao Kun gently pushed him awake, looked at the sleepy-eyed child and said, "Here we are."

Li Yinglan looked at Gao Kun blankly, and was led out of the car by him again.

Gao Kun saw that the big villa standing in front of him was pitch black, and it didn't look like anyone was there. He was about to ask Li Yinglan, when two car lights flashed, and a car stopped in front of him not far away, and then he walked over it. The next man, and that well-known face made Gao Kun a little sluggish.

"Yinglan?" The other party came quickly, looked at Li Yinglan, then looked at Gao Kun in front of him, his eyes were full of judgment, the boy in front of him was only fourteen or fifteen years old, but his stature was already very slender, his appearance Handsome, wearing a high school uniform made Zhuo Yao feel relieved.

Li Yinglan called out to the other party softly: "Uncle."

Seeing that Gao Kun was really the parent of the family, he completed the task and turned to leave.

Zhuo Yao nodded to him: "Thank you for sending Yinglan back."

Gao Kun just smiled, waved to Li Yinglan again, got in the taxi again, and left here briskly.

Zhuo Yao carried Li Yinglan's schoolbag and looked around the house, but when he turned around, he saw his nephew still looking at the leaving car, so he couldn't help calling him, and then asked: "Where's your mother?" It was late, and it must have been delayed by some stupid matter, Zhuo Yao couldn't help flashing a trace of anger on his face.

Li Yinglan took her eyes away from the turning car, and led Zhuo Yao into the door.

On the other side, when Gao Kun just drove out of the community, he hurriedly called a stop and jumped off, and paid for the trip with almost all the money in his pocket.

In the silence of the night, Gao Kun walked slowly in the seemingly endless rich area. The large box of foam plastic in his hand and the dry but wrinkled rain cape on his body seemed so abrupt and out of place...
