Red Bean Raw Nanguo

Tao is smart, he always hides in the shadows alone and listens to the activities of the people around him, like a group of big boys swimming in the river with their buttocks bare, cutting spinning tops and making clay figurines.He also did it secretly when he was alone. He once pinched a lot of little figurines to play with him by the river. He imagined that these clay figurines were smiling at him and telling him stories.When he was ten years old, he learned to swim, and he could dive into the bottom of the water and swim like a fish. In the water, his heart gained a great sense of security, and no one could see him, so he felt very happy.

However, this kind of happiness didn't last long. His elder brother reached the age of marriage, but because he was a "dumb" in this family, many marriages planned for his elder brother fell through in the end. "Why didn't you die?" My brother often blamed him for this.He later heard that the family of the douchebag across the door was also because the douchebag was a fool, and his sister couldn't let it out until she was 25 years old. In the countryside, women who are over 23 years old will be laughed at as spinsters.But in fact, Erdan's sister is no longer an old maid. Tao Youtian saw his brother's naked buttocks pressing on Erdan's sister, pushing the haystack out of a big hole.

Tao naturally didn't understand the bad atmosphere in these societies, just like when he was a child he didn't understand why children and parents didn't like him.However, he intuitively felt that a terrible haze began to surround him, oppressing his nerves and suffocating him.His father, mother and elder brother ignored him, and the father and mother of the opposite door often wandered over to discuss things secretly.They always closed the door tightly and spoke in a very soft voice. My elder brother was still guarding the door with his elbows in his arms, for fear that Tao would overhear.Tao first thought that he was discussing the marriage between his elder brother and Erdan sister, but later he thought that something was wrong. This is a good thing. There is no need for the parents of both parties to be so sneaky.Or, is Erdan sister pregnant with brother's child?

The long-planned event finally broke out.After dinner one night, my parents said they would take Tao to watch a movie in a neighboring village. At the same time, they also invited Erdan and his parents. The six of them walked on the country road under the moonlight. The small mirror, for a while, illuminates the sky and the moon, and then kisses the mirror again, talking to itself foolishly, "Watch a movie, watch a movie, go to a movie..." Erdan's voice echoed throughout the desolate valley. It looked unusually abrupt, and Taunton felt the hairs all over his body stand on end. Fear gripped his heart, but he couldn't ask his parents for help, so he could only walk forward tremblingly.When he got to the middle of the bridge of a big river, Tao heard the spring water singing cheerfully under the bridge, which gave him a little bit of relief.

At this time, Dad stopped and waited for Er Dan and the others to follow.Tao held on to the railing by himself and continued to move forward. As he walked, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps behind him. He turned his head consciously in shock, just in time to see his father dragging Erdan to the bridge, and he hadn't reacted yet. What happened, Er Dan's father pushed him into the river behind him. ． ． ． ． ．The river water was cold to the skin, rumbling against the eardrums, he struggled in the darkness, he hugged the smooth pier tightly in his panic, his whole body trembled, his teeth chattered.At this time, his parents had already gone to the other side, and the truth came to light. He was ruthlessly abandoned by his family, and in such a cruel way.

Tao was 11 years old this year, and he already understood the indifference of the human heart far better than children of the same age.He let tears flow in the water, despair, grief, and finally resentment, he thought he had to live, to stand in front of his parents and "question" why they did this.He swam ashore and dragged his wet clothes all the way home. When he reached the door of the house, the lights of the two houses were all extinguished, and the adults must have fallen asleep.The big black dog in the yard—Maomao heard him and howled mournfully in the gate.Maomao, I will never see him again, Tao thought, this family will cut off all ties with him from now on, and it is even more terrible to stay here.

Tao left his village just like that, walking straight in the dark, unable to tell the direction.At dawn, he leaned against a big tree and fell asleep.Woke up and continued walking until his legs and feet were weak and his stomach was hungry. It was his first time to travel far at this age, and he was penniless. When he was hungry, he would eat from the garbage dump or run into the fields. Find vegetable leaves to eat.He hasn't learned how to reach out and ask for alms, this is a strange world, he is at a loss, in order to survive, he is slowly adapting.Later, he found that many people were picking up plastic bags and empty bottles from the garbage dump. He followed them to the waste collection station, knowing that these things could also be sold for money.From then on, he started his "scavenging" career and survived by picking up trash every day.

Tao wandered to Xi'an at the age of 12. He was very interested in everything in this bustling provincial capital, especially when he saw adults and children living on the streets like him, who were in rags like him, and he no longer felt lonely. There are so many people in this world who are as unfortunate as him, and some even lost their arms, holding an iron box between their toes, asking passers-by for money, which made his nose sore from time to time, and he even Several times, I gave them the money I got from picking up junk and selling them.Tao had no friends in his hometown village, but he has friends here, and he felt that this kind of life was far better than that time.

What made him most happy was meeting his master that night. Tao didn't understand what fate was all about.But from the moment he saw the master, he couldn't forget him. The master was the man he dreamed of and made his heart feel warm.

Tao lacked the love of his family since he was a child, which made his heart unable to shake off the desire for love. Even if he drowned in it, he was willing to do so.
