The church behind Hongyuan Middle School has been abandoned for many years.It is said that it was very beautiful inside, with gilded icons and crosses, and painted roofs.

During the most chaotic ten years, there was a fire here, and then no one came anymore.When Yu Qing was young, Zhou Hui and Zhou Hui went to the black market to sell cloth tickets, and saw someone selling sterling silver candlesticks there.Zhou Hui sighed and said that the candlestick was originally from the church.

Many years have passed, and the dilapidated church is covered by a large area of ​​half-dried and half-glorious creepers, and the bell tower above it is empty, and the legendary bronze bell has long since disappeared.

The children looked here and there, and bravely opened the door, but only found dust and dead leaves.

There was a flash of light in the grass, Yu Qing ran over and dug out a small piece of colored thick glass.He rinsed the glass piece in the puddle, looked at the sunlight in the shade of the tree, and found that it was more transparent than his own glass ball.

Runsheng kicked the weeds on the ground: "You're picking things up again, you're so dirty."

"It won't be dirty after washing it. Look, how beautiful it is."

"Isn't it just the glass on the window?" Runsheng muttered, "There's a big piece of it!"

Yu Qing looked up and saw several intact windows not far away, all of which were stained glass like this.

But he still thinks this small piece of glass is very beautiful.Yu Qing lowered her head and polished the edges and corners of the glass piece with a stone, intending to take it back and put it in her treasure box.

Runsheng walked away.After a while, only a loud bang was heard.Someone said angrily: "Fu Ermao! What are you doing! You almost hit me!"

Yu Qing raised her head, and saw that the glass window that was still good just now had a big hole broken, and the ground was covered with glass pieces.

He was shocked and said, "Why did you smash the windows of others?"

Runsheng squatted on the ground, pinched the pieces of glass with two fingers, and rummaged through them critically: "Didn't you want glass?"

Yu Qing said unhappily: "There is glass on the floor! Why did you smash other people's windows!"

Runsheng's face darkened: "Would you like it?" He frowned and stared at his fingertips: "My hands are all dirty."

Yu Qing couldn't explain to him, so he could only pouted his mouth and stopped talking.He looked at the big black hole in the church window and suddenly felt a little sad.

"Hey! I found it! Come quickly!" Er Fatty shouted at them from a distance.

A group of children all ran over.Runsheng wiped his hands on the tree, and walked past Yu Qing without looking sideways.

Obviously he was wrong, but it seemed like everyone else owed him.Yu Qing stuffed the small piece of glass into his trouser pocket, and reluctantly followed.

Only the beginning of Ma Gan'er's story is true, and that is that there is indeed a deep hole there, on a high slope in the side of the church.As for Yuan Datou and the treasure chest, he probably read too many strange stories.

The iron door at the entrance of the cave was open, and the inside was large and deep.The children walked for a long time, but found nothing except the cold brick walls on both sides.If you go further in, you can't see the light, you can only hear the whistling wind, which is scary.So many people backed out midway.

In the end, there were only Er Pang, Ma Gan'er, Doudou and Er Mao left.

Ma Gan'er has a stubborn mouth and refuses to go back; Er Pang is very curious; Doudou doesn't want to leave his little friend; so Er Mao reluctantly donated his lighter.

The four of them walked and shone, but the cave seemed to be getting a little light without a lighter.When turning a corner, Ma Gan'er suddenly said, "Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh"

Everyone quieted down and pricked up their ears.It seems that someone is talking, and there are strange tool sounds.

"...How much can this batch sell for?" A somewhat familiar voice of a teenager came over.

"This number..."

Er Fatty widened his eyes: "Hey, that seems to be..."

What responded to him was a click, and then someone alerted: "Who's there? Who?"

Runsheng grabbed Yu Qing: "Run!"

Disorderly footsteps approached them.Several children were frightened out of their wits, one by one dragged the other, desperately followed Ermao out.From time to time, there are flashlights shining on them behind them.

It wasn't until they ran out of the big hole and ran all the way onto the road that the children stopped at the big locust tree in front of the school.Er Fatty sat down on the ground: "Run... I can't run anymore..."

Everyone was out of breath.Ma Ganer wiped the sweat from his head: "So there are still bandits there..."

"What kind of bandit?" Er Fatty panted, "You...you didn't...you heard it, it was... it was Slender Eyes."

"Huh? Then why are we running..."

Runsheng straightened his waist, looked at Ma Gan'er coldly: "Stupid."

Ma Gan'er and Ermao have always been at odds. He frowned and imitated his father's tone and said, "Ermao, it's your fault. What can't be said well, you are so harmful to unity, do you know?"

Runsheng snorted softly, and said slowly, "Didn't you hear?"

"Hear what?"

"The sound of a gun being loaded."

Ma Gan'er recalled it for a while, his face changed, but his mouth was still firm: "How can this happen... You must have heard it wrong. We didn't see it with our own eyes."

Er Fatty shivered, "I heard that Slender Eyes and the others are messing with Ge Si now."

Ge Si is a well-known gangster in the spinning mill area, who runs two video halls and a dance hall.There are all kinds of rumors about him in the market, and they are all terrible.Children have heard too much from adults, and it is inevitable that they will have some fears.

Everyone looked at each other and said nothing.Only Runsheng still looked like he didn't know what he was thinking.

The failure of the expedition kept the children quiet for a few days.The next day Erpang was taken away by his parents to visit relatives, and Ma Gan'er had to attend a make-up class, so there were only two people left on the stone table downstairs, Yu Qing and Runsheng.

The homework was finished quickly, and sometimes Runsheng would take Yu Qing to play in the flying compound.The flying compound is a bit special. There are guards on both sides of the gate all the year round, and outsiders are not allowed to enter.But when Runsheng went in and out there, it was like going back to his own home, and no one ever stopped him.

Runsheng didn't have a good relationship with the children in the Flying Courtyard - anyway, he was definitely not as close as Yu Qing and the others, but he was very familiar with the uncles there.Or to put it another way, a lot of the adults there knew him.They called him "Lao Xu's grandson", or just "Born Son".

There was an old man with all white hair, surnamed Zhao, who looked like Guan Gong in the New Year pictures. Runsheng was looking for him.Uncle Zhao would sometimes teach Runsheng some kung fu, make gestures with Runsheng, and occasionally say with emotion: back then, your grandpa...

It's just that the second half of the sentence is often a sigh.

Because of being with Runsheng, Yu Qing learned a lot after watching it for a long time.Uncle Zhao praised Yu Qing for his savvy, then sighed at the end, looked at Runsheng in the distance with somewhat melancholy eyes, and shook his head quietly.

Yu Qing couldn't say exactly how Runsheng's kung fu was. He only knew that Ermao could barely draw a tie with Uncle Zhao's grandson Dongming when they were gesturing.But Brother Dong Ming is much older than both of them, and he kind of wants to play house with the children, Yu Qing thinks that he and Er Mao didn't really fight.

Uncle Zhao is not always in the compound.When the dog days came, he went to the sanatorium to escape the summer heat.Except for eating, Runsheng didn't go to the flight compound anymore.

It was so hot that the stone table in the yard began to burn people.Runsheng naturally invited Yu Qing to play at his home.His house is extravagantly equipped with an air conditioner, which makes it extremely cool in summer.

Yu Qing was originally a child who couldn't stay still, but the law and order in the neighborhood was not good at that time, and there were several cases of vicious injury, and the victims of two cases were children similar to Yu Qing's age.Because of this, his mother and grandma forbade him to run around in the streets. Hearing that he went to Runsheng's house, he was relieved a lot.

Runsheng's parents are never at home.Only occasionally an elderly nanny comes to clean.

For the rest of the time, the two children stayed in the huge house.Runsheng played the piano tinkly, and ran over when he had played enough, wanting to make gestures with Yu Qing.The two people still remembered the skills they had learned at first, but then they started to play tricks on each other by coincidence, using messy moves such as "black tiger digging out the heart" and "monkey picking peaches". one covered in gray.

Yu Qing got a headache when the air conditioner was turned on, although Runsheng complained, he still turned off the air conditioner.After arguing for a while, the two got up covered in sweat, and ran to the window sill to blow the air.The wind is also hot, making people sleepy.Yu Qing scratched her face and whispered: "I brought watermelon over, do you want to eat it?"

"Don't eat." Runsheng leaned close to him, and Yu Qing could feel the sweat and temperature.He dodged: "It's so hot."

Runsheng complained, "You said it was too cold to turn on the air conditioner."

Yu Qing stopped talking.The two leaned together, lying on the window sill in a daze.

The afternoon sun was very strong, and the courtyard seemed to be steamed.Naturally, no one was outside in such weather, and it seemed that even the birdsong could not be heard.

Yu Qing's eyelids were heavy, and she almost fell asleep.

At this moment, a scream suddenly sounded in the yard.Yu Qing opened her eyes and found that the second fat mother was crying and knocking on the neighbor's door.
