The big department stores on Friday night are bustling.

Xiao Yu seldom comes to this kind of place, the things here are so expensive.He and his mother usually go to the wholesale market to buy things.

Xiao Yu tightly held the only 30 yuan in his pocket.

Snacks are on...the first floor.

Xiao Yu made the escalator by himself, watching the bright lights reflected on the smooth tiles, and a variety of colorful goods cabinets were displayed in front of him.

Walking in, the first thing you see is the cheap discount area.

Xiao Yu thought about it, and there was a clover logo on Chu Feng's clothes: Adidas, he had seen that brand in a big shopping mall, and he was curious to see the sign once... so expensive.

When Xiao Yu was watching, the shopping guide auntie asked him kindly: "Do you like this dress, kid? Let your mother buy it for you!"

Xie Shiyu's mother stood not far away, smiling awkwardly.

Xiao Yu shook his head, said that he didn't like it, and ran back to his mother.

At the age of seven, he already has a strong concept of money under the daily comparison. Although they are all in the same class, they are still at the same table and sit close to each other every day.But Xiao Yu could feel that he and Chu Feng were like people from two worlds.

Little Chu Feng probably wouldn't eat cheap snacks like those in the discounted area.

Although even the snacks in the discounted area of ​​the supermarket are something that Xiao Yu can't usually eat.He looked around and walked towards the imported snack cabinet.

Here, Xiao Yu saw the glass box with gold foil packaging at a glance, and the Ferrero chocolates imported from Italy that the uncle of the commissary gave him.Also in English is a white chocolate ball covered with shredded coconut.

Xiao Yu stood on tiptoe, took the largest box of Ferrero white chocolate balls, turned it over and looked at the price, it was three digits.

Xiao Yu silently put it back.He re-selected a box that was three times smaller, at 29.9 yuan.

Very good.

The little seven-year-old Xie Shiyu stood alone in the long cashier queue. He held 30 yuan worth of sixty packs of spicy sticks, handed it to the cashier, received a small silver dime, and walked home. go.

On Saturdays and Sundays, Xiao Yu went to Xinhua Bookstore to read picture books to pass the time, and when he returned home at night, he continued to observe the movements of the weird people in the building, draw on his graffiti diary, and waited for the day when Chu Feng would be invited to play at home.

Monday morning

Bright sunlight shines into the classroom.

Xiao Chu Feng, who finally finished the weekend, happily came to school with his small schoolbag on his back.

Hey, he pulled the table and chairs and sat down.

Xiao Yu was already sitting next to him, like a wilted grass, planted on the seat, sleeping on his stomach, only a fluffy little head was exposed in the crook of his arm.

"Hey."

Little Chu Feng poked Xiao Yu lightly: "Here."

The still warm boiled eggs lay in Chu Feng's palm.Every morning, he would bring the eggs that his mother forced him to eat to school and give them to Xiao Yu.

"Are you really not eating? This is quite nutritious."

Xiao Yu skillfully peeled off the eggshell, and his cannibal hand was short, he felt a little embarrassed.

"It's okay, I don't like to eat."

Little Chu Feng, who doesn't need to eat boiled eggs, is very happy every morning: "I will bring them to you in the future."

Xiao Yu glanced at the thin little Chu Feng, his slender wrists seemed to be out of nutrition, and he ate his nutritious boiled eggs for breakfast every day.

"Otherwise, let's exchange." Xiao Yu said, "If you don't like boiled eggs...would you like fried eggs like that?"

"like!"

Little Chu Feng's eyes lit up. He had long been craving the tender fried eggs on the TV: "I like the kind of fried eggs that don't need to be fully cooked, and...don't be undercooked...."

Little Chu Feng was a little embarrassed after he finished speaking: "Am I asking too much?"

"It's okay." Xiao Yu propped up his cheeks, his eyes fell on little Chu Feng intentionally or unintentionally, and smiled: "I know, that kind of half-cooked, fragrant and tender fried eggs."

"Yes! But..." Little Chu Feng lowered his head: "Isn't this too much trouble for your mother..."

"? Why?" Xiao Yu said, "I cook in my house."

"...!"

Little Chu Feng looked at Xie Shiyu in surprise: "You... all cook by yourself? That's amazing... Start the fire yourself?"

"correct."

Xiao Yu had a habitual look on his face, he held his cheek, looked away slightly, and looked out of the classroom window.

In fact, he can only cook some simple dishes, such as fried eggs, cooking rice, and stir-fried vegetables.The more difficult home cooking is still made by my mother.But... There is no need to tell Xiao Chu Feng these words.

Little Chu Feng looked at Xiao Yu with admiration. Although this man can't pinyin or English, doesn't study well and doesn't have a piano test certificate, but he can climb trees to save kittens and cook delicious fried eggs by himself. , I never need my parents to pick me up, I always go home alone, independent and powerful.

Little Chu Feng was so envious.

He was looking forward to what Xiaoyu's home would be like.

,

The long school life passed minute by minute, jingle jingle bells, and finally survived until the sun slanted to the west, and school was over in the afternoon——

The first-grade kid rushed out of the class with a whoosh.

"Line up! Don't run around!"

Teacher Meng, the head teacher, is in charge of discipline.

Xiao Yu came out of the classroom, he didn't go on the rampage excitedly like other little boys.Xiao Yu quietly stood at the fixed position in the school-off team every time, and very naturally took the hand of Xiao Chu Feng beside him.

Class teacher: "Okay! Everyone line up, don't make noise, don't squeeze!! Hold hands and walk together—"

The meandering line lined up from the playground, and the first-grade after-school team walked out of the school gate in an orderly manner. On the railing of the teaching building, they leaned against the fifth and sixth-grade students who hadn't finished school, and looked at them enviously.

In today's after-school team, Sun Bing was still talking loudly. He secretly noticed that Chu Feng and Xie Shiyu behind him were strangely quiet today. Usually, these two people would talk quietly, but today they didn't say a word.

——Did you quarrel?Sun Bing thought gloatingly, glanced, and saw Xiao Chu Feng and Xiao Yu holding hands tightly together.

Sun Bing was confused.

After school, the team came to the fork in the road. As usual, Chu Feng and Xie Shiyu would part. Xie's family was poor, so he had to go to the old city street on the left.Sun Bing, Chu Feng, and several other boys had to go to the right and return to the Huayuan District.

Sun Bing walked to the fork on the right as usual, laughing and laughing with the boys beside him, suddenly, he felt something was wrong!

"Where's Chu Feng?"

Other boys: "Well... I didn't see it." "Oh, he seems to have left with Xie Shiyu."

"What?!" Sun Bing hurried back. He saw that Chu Feng in English Class A was very upset, and Xie Shiyu, who was scaring him with tree-shaking caterpillars, made him even more upset. These two people together made him extremely unhappy!

Sun Bing ran to the fork in the road and took a look, and immediately saw two small shadows of Xie Shiyu and Chu Feng sticking together. It seemed that Chu Feng was going to Xie Shiyu's house to play...

"Hey--!"

Sun Bing ran towards the left fork and caught up with little Chu Feng:

"Are you going to play at his house!"

Little Chu Feng frowned: "It's none of your business!"

Xiao Yu shrugged and admitted straightforwardly: "I invited him to my house to play."

Sun Bing smirked in his heart. He wanted to come and cause damage, and he shouted loudly: "I want to go too! Why didn't you invite me?"

Xiao Yu looked at him indifferently: "What do you think?"

Little Chu Feng also said lightly: "You are not welcome."

Xiao Yu took Xiao Chu Feng by the hand and didn't want to talk to Sun Bing, so they turned around and continued walking.Sun Bing was quick to gain wisdom, and shouted to Chu Feng:

"Hey, if you don't let me go with you, I'll tell your mother! Say you won't come home from school, and secretly go to other classmates' houses to play, and don't tell her!"

——They all live in the Garden District, and Sun Bing does have a very good chance to meet Chu Feng's mother.

Little Chu Feng was immediately pinched. If his mother knew about Xie Shiyu, she would definitely investigate him. After asking the teacher a little, she would know what was going on in Xie Shiyu's family, and then her mother would definitely ask the teacher to transfer Xie Shiyu away, so they couldn't be friends. He will be at the table, and he will be restricted from interacting with Xie Shiyu, maybe he will come to pick him up after school every day, and let him go home to do his homework and practice the piano...

It was not easy for him to find an interested person who had such a little freedom.If discovered, this tiny point will also be strangled.

Little Chu Feng turned back abruptly, and walked towards Sun Bing aggressively: "Can you tell me what you said just now?"

Sun Bing was a little frightened. Although little Chu Feng was slender, Sun Bing was frightened by his sudden soaring courage. He froze in place, faltering:

"me……"

I kept talking about it for a long time, but he didn't dare to repeat the words "I'm going to tell your mother" in front of Chu Feng.

Little Chu Feng clenched his fists tightly, as long as Sun Bing dared to speak out, he would absolutely beat him today.

—He grew up so big, it seemed that he had never fought before.

"Hey."

A cool fist.

Little Chu Feng turned around, and Xie Shiyu held his hand behind him:

"It's okay, let him come."

Chu Feng frowned. Xie Shiyu obviously only invited him alone, and little Chu Feng didn't want Sun Bing, a follower.Xiao Yu smiled meaningfully from the side:

"If he wants to come so much, let him come. After all, my house is not a good place."

,

Xie Shiyu led Chu Feng and walked towards the old city.

In the afternoon, the golden sun smeared the dilapidated streets, and the wind blew up the old newspapers on the ground.The streets were empty.

Sun Bing followed them alone without anyone holding hands.Sun Bing became more and more frightened as he walked, looking around like a shivering little hamster.He had never been to the old neighborhood of Xicheng, and unknowingly, he recalled what the news said on TV:

A male body was found at a sewage outlet in Xicheng District.

Feet tied in strange knots.

Sun Bing shuddered, and the deeper he walked, the dirtier and messier the streets were, and the walls were splashed with messy red paint, which looked like blood.

Little Chu Feng didn't feel anything special. He was curiously looking at the street scenes he had never seen before, and Xie Shiyu was holding him with warm hands.

Xiao Yu turned his head indifferently and asked Sun Bing, "Are you still going to my house?"

Sun Bing swallowed, and retreated nervously, but it's too timid to turn around and leave now!Sun Bing stiffened his neck, bit the bullet and said:

"Go! Why don't you go! It's still early, and I can still play at your house for a long time, hahahaha!"

Xiao Yu also secretly smiled with Sun Bing: "Yes, I hope you can play for so long."

,

Walking to the end of the street, turning seven turns and eight turns, and then passing through a dark alley, finally came to Xie Shiyu's house——

Dilapidated residential buildings.

The peeling wall skin, built against the sun, is gloomy and lifeless.

As soon as Sun Bing saw it, he thought of the ghost movie that would be shown on the projector in his spacious living room. He was a little bit trembling in his heart, and he even spoke unforgivingly, looking down on Xiao Yu:

"Your family lives in this kind of place..."

"En." Xiao Yu responded frankly: "Go in."

The dark corridor entrance, like the mouth of a monster, opened, waiting to devour them.

The corridor is a little narrow, and two people cannot stand side by side.Xiao Yu let go of Chu Feng's hand, and he took the lead and walked in first.

Sun Bing was a little anxious. He quickly looked at Chu Feng, hoping that Chu Feng would also feel scared like himself, so that he could go back to the Garden District with Chu Feng without losing face...

Little Chu Feng followed without hesitation.

Only Sun Bing was left outside alone, neither entering nor retreating... He looked around, but there was no one, and he didn't remember how to go back at all...

Sun Bing gritted his teeth and could only follow the stairs.

A damp wind blows towards the face.

On the stairs, there was a stream of garbage water winding down the steps, and the dark brown wet stains reminded Sun Bing of bloodstains...

"Ah! It stinks! It stinks to death!!"

Sun Bing covered his nose exaggeratedly, and yelled to cover up his fear:

"No! I'm going to throw up, vomit—"

Xiao Yu was used to going to and from school every day.He didn't care about Sun Bing's reaction, and secretly observed Chu Feng.

Chu Feng didn't cover his nose, and he didn't make a fuss, his face was very calm, without any reaction, and he wouldn't yell exaggeratedly like Sun Bing.But Xie Shiyu knew that Sun Bing lived near Chu Feng's house. If Sun Bing felt so bad and wanted to vomit, would Chu Feng also feel that...

It's just that he can't say it directly in front of his face.

Xiao Yu's heart seemed to have been dialed. In his family, the things he had long been used to, in Chu Feng's view, might be so disgusting that he wanted to vomit...

This realization shook Xiao Yu's whole body, his face was stunned for a second, and gradually, Xiao Yu lowered his head.

He went straight up the stairs, not daring to hold Xiao Chu Feng's hand again.

Little Chu Feng quietly saw Xiao Yu's reaction. He ran two steps faster, then suddenly stretched out his hand and took the initiative to hold Xiao Yu, with a soft voice:

"...a bit dark."

Little Chu Feng lowered his head, a little shy:

"I... I'm afraid of the dark."

Xiao Yu turned his head, under the dim light, he saw little Chu Feng's white and tender face, with his head lowered, following behind him, touching him with his soft little palm...

Xiao Yu clenched tightly and grabbed Xiao Chu Feng.Xie Shiyu smiled:

"I'm holding you, don't be afraid."

Together they climbed the steps.

Xiao Yu took Xiao Chu Feng by the hand, and he looked around vigilantly, the corridor was very quiet, all the strange guys had gone out, they were not at home, and they were safe now.

After climbing two floors, Sun Bing followed them panting. The corridors in this residential building were not ventilated at all, and the air was stale and stale. Sun Bing felt that he could not breathe.

"Have you arrived yet? Is it coming soon! Which floor is your house!" Sun Bing yelled.

Xiao Yu ignored him, he stopped in room 404, took out the key, and opened the door.

"Oh, it's finally here! Hey? What's over there?"

Sun Bing found that the fourth floor where Xie Shiyu lived was different from other floors. The corridor was wider and extended to the back. There was also a cross staircase leading directly to the next building:

"Wow!"

Sun Bing walked over on his own.Xiao Yu didn't rashly lead Chu Feng there, he first carefully observed the building behind to make sure that no one happened to be going out, and then led Xiao Chu Feng over there.

Xiao Yu: "This is room 401 and room 402, there is nothing to see."

Looking down on the intersecting stairs, Sun Bing saw the small courtyard between the two buildings of the residential building, dilapidated and damp, covered with moss, and red, yellow, pink and green pajamas were hung on the crooked old locust tree in the small courtyard. The courtyard in Huayuan District is simply incomparable.

"Wow, this yard is really messy!"

Sun Bing commented from above. He looked up again and saw vegetables grown in plastic foam boxes on the roofs of two residential buildings.

"Will someone really leave?" Sun Bing yelled, "This building is five stories high, and there are no protective measures on the wooden boards!"

"Such a wide plank." Xiao Yu said, "Need protective measures?"

"Damn! You walked by?" Sun Bing didn't believe it, "Who can brag!"

Xiao Yu didn't bother to prove himself to Sun Bing. If the wooden plank was erected on flat ground, normal people would walk over it, but if it was erected on the fifth floor, it would be a bit uncomfortable at first, but once you get used to it, it will be fine.Not only did he walk over the plank, but he sometimes ran over it, which was completely fine.

Little Chu Feng also looked up at the board, it was so dangerous.He believed that Xiao Yu was telling the truth, after all, he had seen Xie Shiyu jump off a high branch with a kitten in his arms.

There is such a narrow plank hanging between the two buildings, Xiao Yu can actually walk across it like walking!Little Chu Feng secretly looked at Xie Shiyu, this man is really powerful.

"Let's go."

It might be unsafe to stay outside, Xie Shiyu pointed to Room 404: "Go to my house."

Sun Bing walked into Xiao Yu's house unceremoniously, and looked at the end at a glance:

"Wow, your house is so small! It's so crowded..."

Looking at Xiao Yu's poor and small home, Sun Bing recalled his spacious and bright living room, with a projection screen for watching movies hanging on the snow-white wall, and he felt a sense of superiority in his heart.

Xiao Yu didn't bother to talk to Sun Bing, he took out a box of chocolates from his bedroom.

Sun Bing: "Oh, I didn't expect you to be able to afford a Ferrero with the surname Xie!"

Little Chu Feng already wanted to roll his eyes when he heard it all the way, this person is really uneducated.

Xiao Yu opened the glass box and took out a piece of hazelnut chocolate wrapped in gold foil.

——He didn't give it to Chu Feng, but he gave it to Sun Bing first.

"You eat one first." Xiao Yu said.

Sun Bing was also a little flattered, he glanced at Chu Feng triumphantly, happily peeled off the Ferrero, and began to chew.

Xiao Yu looked at Sun Bing like a mouse: "How do you feel?"

"Ah?" Sun Bing didn't understand why he asked, "It feels okay..."

Sun Bing thought that Xie Shiyu was looking for him to show off Ferrero's imported chocolates. This was simply humiliating himself. Sun Bing imitated Xie Shiyu's previous appearance, smiled lightly, and waved:

"Hey, isn't this just an ordinary Ferrero? I'm tired of eating it at home! My dad does business with Italian merchants, hey, it's delivered every day, there's really no way..."

Xiao Yu didn't think about it at all. He observed Sun Bing, who was alive and well, thoughtfully.This box of chocolates was given by the uncle in the commissary. Xiao Yu carefully checked the outer packaging, and there was no sign of being opened. He was afraid that his uncle would do something to the food, so he asked Sun Bing to try it first.

——Now it seems that this box of chocolates is fine.

Xiao Yu took two with confidence and gave them to Xiao Chu Feng.

They stood behind Sun Bing, and when Xiao Yu handed it over, they clenched their hands into fists and opened them again——

Little Chu Feng's eyes lit up, and Xiao Yu's hand was like magic. There were two golden hazelnut chocolate balls in his palm, and suddenly there was another white chocolate ball.

Xiao Yu said silently with his mouth: Don't give it to Sun Bing.

——He bought the white chocolate from a department store by himself.It's okay to eat the Ferrero Sun Bing sent by the uncle of the canteen.

"Oh, your house has a bathroom, I want to pee!" Sun Bing said again after eating the chocolate.

"Over there." Xiao Yu pointed to the small room at the door.Sun Bing went straight in...

As soon as he leaves.

Sitting side by side on the bed, Xiao Yu and Xiao Chu Feng took out the white Ferrero and ate it openly.

The sweet shredded coconut bursts in the mouth, the sweetness of chocolate, the glow of evening, the quiet bedroom, two small shadows close together.

Sudden--

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!!!"

Suddenly, Sun Bing's screams came from the bathroom.

"Ahhhhhhhh!! Spider, big spider!!"

Sun Bing didn't even have time to lift his pants, and rushed out of the bathroom, howling all over the room.

Little Chu Feng: "Big spider?"

He had never seen a big spider before.In the commercial housing in the Huayuan District where he lived, he seldom even saw spiders. He only saw a small, black one that crawled around and disappeared in a flash.

Xiao Yu: "Well, now in the evening, they will indeed come out..."

"How big is that spider?" Little Chu Feng was like a curious baby.

"Take you to take a look?" Xiao Yu led Xiao Chu Feng, slowly got off the bed, and walked to the door of the bathroom.

Sun Bing was crying and hiding by the window of Xiao Yu's house, the place farthest from the bathroom, and he just wanted to escape from this terrible place as soon as possible.

"Ah, really! What a big one!"

Little Chu Feng lay on Xiao Yu's shoulder and looked in through the bathroom door. There was a spider huddled in the corner of the yellowish tiles, with eight legs spread out. It was as big as a human's face, and there were gray and white patterns on its belly and back. .

Chu Feng had never seen such a big spider before, he felt very strange: "What kind of spider is this?"

"White-fronted tall spider." Xiao Yu said calmly: "Large spiders are common indoors in China."

Little Chu Feng: "Will it be poisonous?"

Xiao Yu: "No. They are shy and afraid of people. Just now when Sun Bing yelled loudly, they shrank there in fright and did not dare to move."

Little Chu Feng exclaimed: "You know a lot!"

"It's okay." Xiao Yu said, "Common sense in life."

——Actually, he went to Xinhua Bookstore to browse picture books on weekends.

Sun Bing, who was crying in fright, was still yelling over there: "Hurry up, beat him to death!"

Xiao Yu: "No. This spider eats cockroaches, how good it is, I kept it for a long time."

Sun Bing: "You are perverted, and you still keep such a horrible thing! It's too scary!! I'm leaving!!! Chu Feng, can you go!"

Chu Feng waved to him calmly: "Walk slowly."

,

boom--

Sun Bing, who was frightened by the spider, slammed the door and slipped away.

Xiao Yu and Xiao Chu Feng were quiet for a second, and suddenly they both burst out laughing.

twitter……

At dusk, behind them, flocks of birds were flying outside the window.

Little Chu Feng turned his head, he had never seen so many birds.Chu Feng ran to the window of Xiao Yu's house and looked out.

His family lived in a tall commercial building, and Xiaoniao never went there.I saw a few sparrows on the road, and they also avoided people from a distance.

On the telegraph pole outside the window, a bunch of little birds were parked, tilting their heads, also looking at little Chu Feng in the window.

"What kind of bird is that?"

"..." This time Xiao Yu was really speechless:

"swallow."

Little Chu Feng: "Oh."

Xiao Yu: "Haven't you seen it?"

Little Chu Feng shook his head.He has only seen sparrows.

Xiao Yu: "In spring, swallows will come to build their nests."

"Really?" Little Chu Feng asked, "Will a baby be born?"

"Yes." Xiao Yu: "I gave birth to a litter."

"Then... next spring, if they come to build a nest, can you bring me to see them?" Little Chu Feng looked at Xiao Yu expectantly.

Xie Shiyu couldn't stand Chu Feng's dark eyes, he looked away:

"it is good."

The little swallow on the telegraph pole flapped its wings and flew away again, its black and white wings turning into tracks like musical notes in the air.

Little Chu Feng looked out the window excitedly: "You see so many little birds every day, I'm so envious."

Xiao Yu: "There's nothing to be envious of. Every morning, it's so noisy that people can't sleep."

Little Chu Feng seemed to become more envious, he asked Xie Shiyu:

"You... do you wake up every day to the sound of birdsong?"

"..." Xiaoyu felt that Chu Feng's description was a bit strange, but...in fact, he was right:

"That's it."

"……Amazing!"

Little Chu Feng sighed again. He stared at Xie Shiyu. The man in front of him could climb tall trees to rescue kittens. His eyes were like amber. He was good-looking and kind-hearted. Even shy spiders were willing to stay in his house .Although his family is temporarily down and out, he can wake up every morning to the sound of crisp birdsong.

Little Chu Feng blinked his dark eyes, and looked at Xiao Yu in amazement:

"You look like a Disney princess!"
