Goldfish and Sakura

The gradually darkening sky was wrapped in thick clouds, night fell, and it was already April, but the weather was still cold.A huddled figure in the deep alley was fighting against the loneliness at the moment. He was obviously victorious. He, who was used to the darkness for a long time, had already fallen asleep peacefully, and the borrowed coat was very warm.

"I haven't met the old man for a long time. I haven't seen anyone all winter. I just drink and play chess every day. I don't know if I can see the little goose earlier this year." Early in the morning, looking at the clothes on his body, the boy muttered.

Maybe everyone agrees that today is a good time to go out. There are many more people on the street than before, and the teenager who hasn't seen such a lively scene for a long time is getting more and more excited.However, he still planned to wash and dry his coat before returning it to old man Xun.Otherwise, I will scold him again like before.Although the river water had been thawed for a long time, the river water was still a bit piercing. The red-handed boy looked at the washed clothes and smiled with satisfaction.

"Where should I hang it?" Looking around, he found an excellent place, an old tree that had grown young leaves, and stretched out a branch, which was very suitable for hanging clothes there, and he didn't pay attention at all. He ran over there.With a bang, he seemed to have lost his sense of pain, and he slowly crawled under the tree in a daze.A trail of blood was left behind.He didn't feel much pain, he just wanted to lie down and rest. "The clothes have to be washed again..." After finishing speaking, he closed his eyes heavily.

The boy had a very long dream, the pain in the dream was very strong, there was a seven or eight year old child in front of him, crying all the time, his hair and face were covered with coagulated blood, the gradually clear face made him realize suddenly, this is A few years of myself.He had never cried like this before, disgusted, he hated himself like this, when he wanted to pull him up, he found that he couldn't move, his limbs became stiff, and everything in the dream reminded him of the past.What is the scalding liquid on the face?Maybe it is really a backlog of tears that can no longer be stopped.

I don't know how long it took, but I felt a gentle hand stroking away his tears. It was a kind of warmth that I had never had before, as if it had always been like this, but a strong desire made him open his eyes. It turned into light blue moonlight. The person in front of him bent down and smiled at the young man. The smile was as gentle as the moonlight. It brought him an unforgettable memory and at the same time aroused every nerve in him.

"Wake up, the bleeding has stopped, does it still hurt?"

A voice as fresh as the spring breeze that has never been in my memory.Nod, followed by silence. .The man didn't say anything, just hugged him gently.

"Come back with me, okay?" "En" The exhausted young man didn't think too much, and he didn't know where he was going, but he was willing to believe in him and in the person who gave him warmth.The moonlight is still charming, and life is just unclear. Many years later, he sighed that he was so lucky to meet you.

Perhaps because of being too tired, the boy slept for a long time. Shan Yu, who was guarding the boy, gently stroked his side face. The peaceful sleeping face reminded him of the past. The similar facial features, fair skin, everything , are all in memory.

In the early morning, he was not awakened by the sun, and found himself in a strange environment. The memory of yesterday was intermittent. Although it was very vague, he still remembered that someone brought him here, and the wound on his forehead had been treated. The clothes have also been changed, and now he is wearing a white dress.The house is sunny, quiet and tidy.Confused about the situation, he decided to get out of bed and take a look, when the door was pushed open.

"Wake up? Eat something, I don't know your name yet."

"Mu Banxia, ​​thank you sir for bringing me back, but now I may have to leave, so I won't eat it." Although Banxia knows that Mr. is a good person, he is used to being alone and doesn't intend to bother the person in front of him. Besides, he had never seen such a handsome and upright person. His waist-length hair was tied up casually, and the smile on the corner of his mouth from time to time all attracted his attention.

"But, you promised me to stay yesterday."

"???Have it?"

"Of course, and I've already washed the clothes that fell beside you, and they can be dried this evening."

"Mr. Xie, can I stay for a few days?"

"It doesn't matter how long it takes" This moved Banxia a little, because no one would ever say such a thing to him.There is some flush on the face.But later, when Ban Xia asked him why he kept him, Shan Yu just smiled and didn't answer anything.

In the evening, Banxia hastily explained the situation to her husband, and then she took her dry clothes and went to the old man's house. When passing by the husband's house, she would always see a dead tree. Xia Cai thought it was dead.Just took a look and left.

The surprisingly quiet alley made him feel uneasy, no matter how hard he knocked on the door, no one opened it, so Ban Xia decided to climb over the back wall.It didn't take much effort to enter the backyard, and stepped on a stiff thing just as it landed, and after a closer look, it was Ban Xia who was startled.It is a dog that has been dead for a long time. Although the body is not decomposed, there is inevitably some stench.

"Isn't this the dog that old man Xun has raised for several years? I remember that the old man liked it very much. How come no one knows after it's been dead for so long?" Ban Xia had doubts in her heart, and searched inside and outside the yard for a long time, but there was nothing. When you find a figure, you will inevitably feel a little helpless.The person who has always taken care of him can no longer be found.When I came out of the yard, the whole alley was very quiet, as if no one had ever lived here.Disappointed and sad, he could only go back with his clothes.

"Sir, I'm back." Seeing Ban Xia with a tired face, Shan Yu seemed to understand something.I didn't ask too much.

"It's getting late, you should go to bed early."

"Okay, sir, I'm going back to my room first."

"En" It's a bit cold tonight, but the night sky is clean and clear.The half-circle moon imprinted in the eyes, which made Banxia's mood much calmer, and the surrounding quietness seemed to be waiting for someone to break it.Opening the door quietly, Ban Xia, who is already used to it, doesn't care about the temperature at this time. She sits on the stone steps and occasionally looks up at the moon. The trees in the yard are still there. Although they are rooted in the soil, they have lost their life.Looking at the cool hands, when he got up to go back to the room, he noticed that the light was still on in the husband's room.When he walked in to see what his husband was doing, he was disappointed to find that his windows were closed and the house was very quiet.Maybe the husband is just used to sleeping with the lamp on, Ban Xia thought so.
