just in time

Dongyang Street, at the entrance of Xinnan Lane.

This is a very narrow alley. On one side of the alley is an Internet cafe, and on the other side is a car repair shop. It is at noon, and when it is the most stuffy, the noisy cicadas make people headache.

Yun Fang stared at the bumpy ground for a while, and a torn white plastic bag whirled past him.

Yun Fang didn't know why he was so impulsive, he shouldn't care.

He put himself in his shoes and recalled the situation back then. If someone had stopped him from killing someone, he would have killed that person directly.

Yun Fang thought so, but his legs still walked into the dark and narrow alley uncontrollably.

If someone could stop him back then——Yun Fang didn't want to make such an idea.

He had lived a life without such unrealistic fantasies.

In the chaos, Yun Fang almost tried his best to tear the furious young man away, the cold light of the knife flashed in front of his eyes, and for a moment, he grabbed the blade without hesitation.

Yi Chenliang stared at him with blood-red eyes, like a cornered beast.

"Go away!" Yi Chenliang yelled at him.

There was a sharp pain in Yunfang's palm, he frowned, and kicked Yi Chenliang's calf bone, before he could react, he bent his knee and pressed hard against his stomach.

Yun Fang is not physically strong, but his fighting experience is much better than Yi Chenliang's. His skills alone can make up for his lack of strength. In addition, Yi Chenliang was often beaten before he came. Chen Liang lost his ability to resist.

He snatched the dagger from Yi Chenliang's hand, looked at "myself" who was beaten like a dead dog on the ground, and sighed.

He turned around and saw the man leaning against the wall looking at him in horror, shaking the dagger in his hand.

It was an ordinary-looking boy with a bulbous nose, his face was covered with pimples, and his hair was dyed yellow.

"Wang Youwei." After many years, Yun Fang was surprised that he could still remember the other party's name. He approached him indifferently and stabbed him in the neck.

"Ah—" Wang Youwei let out a miserable cry.

The short knife pierced into the wall next to his neck, Yun Fang bent slightly, staring at him coldly, the tip of the knife scratched across the bricks in the wall, making a creepy sound.

With the cold blade pressed against his throat, Wang Youwei looked at him in horror, "Don't, don't kill me!"

If Yi Chenliang who was in a rage just now was like a crazy wolf, then this man in front of him is like a calm poisonous snake. The wolf is hungry and bites recklessly, but the poisonous snake is insidiously and cunningly trying to grind its prey to death.

Wang Youwei felt that this person would really kill him, and it was definitely not the first time he had killed him.

Yi Chenliang, who was lying unconscious on the ground, groaned in pain. Yun Fang seemed to have come to his senses, picked up a short knife and patted Wang Youwei's face lightly, and said casually: "If you provoke him again, I'll kill your whole family, your sister Wang Youlan is in the third grade at the attached primary school, right?"

Wang Youwei turned pale, "No, don't, don't, brother, I was wrong! I will never dare again, I—"

"Get lost." Yun Fang retracted the knife expressionlessly.

Wang Youwei ran away rolling and crawling.

Yi Chenliang didn't take the knife that Yun Fang held in his left hand, and now his left hand is shaking with pain.

Yun Fang wrapped it in his coat indiscriminately, and kicked Yi Chenliang who was unconscious on the ground.

Nothing happens.

Yun Fang realized that he was a little guilty, he was indeed a little ruthless, he knelt down and touched Yi Chenliang's trouser pocket with his right hand, and found a key as expected.

Forget it, if a good person works hard to the end, he can't save half of it.

So he dragged the dead dog on the ground with some difficulty and carried it on his back, and walked towards the depths of the alley with ease.

The old-fashioned iron lock was opened, and the big red-painted iron door was kicked open from the outside. This big iron door has been around for some years, and the paint on it has peeled off, exposing the black iron sheet inside.

Yun Fang looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar small courtyard in front of him.

The yard is not big, with a tall jujube tree in the middle, and a well in the southwest corner, which is still a very old-fashioned water press.

There are iron sheets and steel bars in a mess in the yard, as well as some waste paper boxes, which Yi Chenliang picked up bit by bit by himself to sell for money.

There are two rooms connected to the yard, one is the main room where messy waste is kept, and the other is where Yi Chenliang sleeps. There is only a wooden bed, and the sheets and quilt on it are dusty and dirty. The original color cannot be seen.

Yun Fang threw Yi Chenliang onto the bed, took out a small iron box from under the bed familiarly, and found a key from the gap between the bricks behind the head of the bed to open the iron box. Inside was a stack of banknotes and a a photograph.

The banknotes vary from fraction to fraction, and the sum does not exceed 1000 yuan. The photo is a family portrait, and Yi Chenliang in it is still very young, about seven or eight years old.

The person on the bed moved a bit, Yun Fang put the things back to their original places one by one, stood by the bed and frowned at Yi Chenliang for a while, then turned and went out the door.

Yun Fang has a lot of pocket money, and Tang Yi gives him 300 yuan every week, and he also has scholarships and lucky money from junior high school in his card, which is really not a small amount in terms of current prices.

Much richer than Yi Chenliang.Yun Fang gloated a little, but his throat felt sore.

It was an hour after Yun Fang set foot in this small courtyard for the second time, he walked into the room with the bed and found that Yi Chenliang had woken up, seeing him as if he had seen a ghost, the horror on his face was undisguised, " Fuck me?"

Yun Fang squinted his eyes and found that the current situation was not easy to explain.

He suddenly appeared in Xinnan Lane to grab a knife to save someone, and then entered Yi Chenliang's house by familiar way, with a thick gauze wrapped in his left hand and a bag of medicine and a bag of steamed buns in his right.Before that, Yi Chenliang had no idea who he was.

Very abrupt.

and incomprehensible.

Yun Fang put the medicine and food on the bumpy bedside table, and when he looked up, he saw Yi Chenliang staring at him warily.

Yun Fang sighed silently in his heart, turned around and prepared to leave.

"Wait!" Yi Chenliang roared behind him.

Yun Fang slowly turned his head to look at him.

"Who the hell are you?" Yi Chenliang stared at him fiercely, ready to fight another three hundred rounds, "How do you know I live here!"

Yun Fang looked at him without changing his expression, and said in a calm tone, "My name is Yun Fang."

Yi Chenliang frowned and stared at him suspiciously, looking so stupid that he was bubbling, Yun Fang bet that he must be full of swear words in his heart now, and he was ready to fight at any time.

Yun Fang didn't want to get stabbed in vain today, and Yi Chenliang went to Wang Youwei with a knife tomorrow, so he sat on the horse saddle calmly, and said solemnly: "Your performance in the monthly exam last time was too low. Great, the teacher sent me over to find out the situation."

He vaguely remembered that Yi Chenliang did very badly in the first monthly exam in the first year of high school.

"None of your business!" Yi Chenliang asked in a vicious voice, "Where's Dao?"

Yun Fang has never been used to wearing glasses. He stretched out his hand and pushed the frame of the glasses, "Why, you are still going to stab someone with a knife, and then go to the juvenile detention center for a few years?"

Yi Chenliang was terrified by his cold and cruel eyes, but became arrogant again after seeing that the other party was also in the school uniform of No. [-] Middle School. "Are you fucking looking for a beating?"

Like a sick cat with a blown hair.Yun Fang commented calmly.

"Do you need to apply medicine for you?" Yun Fang looked at the corner of his broken mouth, always feeling a bit intrusive.

Yun Fang stood up, Yi Chenliang was sitting on the bed, and stepped back vigilantly when he saw this, the wooden bed made a creaking sound.

Although he didn't want to admit it, Yun Fang's bare-handed receiving of the knife and the sharp and sharp strikes left an indelible shadow on him.

Yun Fang looked down at 15-year-old Yi Chenliang from a high position.

He has lived for 35 years, and he has never felt that he is pitiful, and the unbearable past events in his youth were only discussed at the wine table later.

But now, looking at the bluffing and dusty Yi Chenliang in front of him, he felt a sudden pain in his heart.

When he first returned to 20 years ago, he felt that Yi Chenliang was a violent, rebellious and unreasonable would-be murderer, not a good thing.

That was his own past, and he didn't need anyone to pity him, even himself.

But he suddenly remembered that when he was 15 years old, when he stabbed the knife into Wang Youwei's body, he was also flustered and frightened, and he also had endless regrets.

It's not that I'm afraid, but it's useless.

At that time, no one helped him stop the knife.

"Yi Chenliang." Yun Fang looked at his dusty self, and all the thoughts in his heart merged into one sentence, "Let's be friends."
