When a ruffian meets a veteran

Zhang Xiaodong cried and opened the door, seeing Xu Yi sitting on the sofa watching TV, his tears became more intense. "Brother Yi, woo..."

"What's the matter, what is this?" Xu Yi was taken aback, and quickly put down his legs that were crossed on the sofa, and hugged Zhang Xiaodong who threw himself on him. "Don't cry, hey little ancestor, tell me who bullied you, brother Yi will teach him a lesson for you."

Zhang Xiaodong, who was full of grievances and fear, was appeased, and his mouth was flattened, sobbing and wiping away his tears. The golden beans were one after another, like an endless sprinkler, Xu Yi was so distressed that he hugged him and patted and coax. "Don't cry, hey, how about Brother Yi giving you a charge during the Chinese New Year? That's all right, stop crying, and tell Brother Yi who recruited you?"

Seeing the bicycle leaning against the wall, knowing that Ling Jianuo had returned, Zhang Xiaodong felt his heart churning and tumbling.Following his gaze, Xu Yi looked back, thinking of Ling Jianuo who had just entered the room in the air-conditioning, and asked with a heartbeat, "Is it Brother Jianuo?"

Zhang Xiaodong glanced complicatedly at the closed door, nodded with a red nose.As if wanting to embolden himself, he burst into tears again, "Woooo...he hit me."

Xu Yi hugged his small body, afraid that he would get his nose on his body, so he took a piece of paper to understand his mouth, "Wipe it up first, there's nothing to cry about, if you want to cry or sue, you have to collect the horse urine first." .”

Knowing that he wasn't being bullied by outsiders, Xu Yi's grievance of protecting the calf in his heart lessened a lot. After Zhang Xiaodong could barely stop his tears, he asked, "Tell me, why did Brother Jianuo hit you?"

Zhang Xiaodong pursed his lips, his head was silent for a while, and then he said sadly: "He kicked me twice, and made me count the red lights on the road..."

Thinking of those two feet, Zhang Xiaodong suddenly felt his calf cramp again, and bent down to lift his pants.Xu Yi grabbed him, and asked with an uneasy expression, "Did you try to run a red light and be punished by Brother Jianuo?"

"He kicked me!" Zhang Xiaodong yelled, tears filled his wet eyes immediately.The disapproval and blame in Xu Yi's eyes made his fearful heart even more uneasy.He couldn't tell the difference between Ling Jianuo's indifference and anger, but he was worried that Mi Yanchen would deal with him for Ling Jianuo.

Thinking of Ling Jianuo's obviously gloomy mood when he came back, and Zhang Xiaodong's saying of counting red lights, there is no need to guess what happened.Ling Jianuo's temperament is calm, but he must be very angry if he kicked a kid, and looking at Zhang Xiaodong who is about to cry, Xu Yi's head is getting bigger.When a child does something wrong and doesn't want to admit it, he will cry and make jokes in an attempt to get away with it. When his parents are alive, he is like this.

Thinking of this, he directly pinched Xiaodong's arm and shouted, "Don't cry!"

Zhang Xiaodong, who had never been yelled at by Xu Yi before, was stunned and forgot to cry with his mouth open.Xu Yi pulled a tissue, wiped his snot for him, and asked him simply, "Do you know how Uncle's parents died?"

"Mountain, the one who overturned and fell to his death on the mountain..."

"Then do you know how my parents died?"

Zhang Xiaodong's eyes were flustered, but Xu Yi held his arm tightly, forcing him to look at him. "My parents also died in a car accident, as did brother Jianuo's father, and his father was hit by a car while crossing the road at a red light, and died on the spot."

Zhang Xiaodong was too frightened to cry, he knew all of this, that's why he was scared, he didn't dare to go home from the front door, he was afraid that his mother would cause trouble, he was afraid, so he thought about crying first, maybe No one will argue with him.

Anyway, after living with this half-way brother for so long, Xu Yi is very clear about Zhang Xiaodong's temper.He shook the arm he was holding in his hand, and reasoned with him gently: "Brother Jianuo treats you well, you know in your heart, let's not talk about you reminding him of unpleasant things today, it's just you who are rushing around If he doesn't stop you, what if something happens to you?"

After finishing speaking, Xu Yi was also afraid for a while.This strange family combination in California, because of Mi Yanchen who is like a mountain, he has slowly walked out of those dark days, but he has not forgotten his parents who passed away, the kind of unbearable feeling that makes his heart wet when he thinks about it. Reluctant to give up, but to no avail, I can only grit my teeth and carry it.Maybe because I lost it, I cherish what I have now even more.

Zhang Xiaodong, a naughty boy who loves to cry, if something really happened, this warm family that finally got rid of the haze would suffer another devastating blow.Thinking of this, he held back his anger and said, "Yue'er is so young that he knows that red lights stop and green lights go, don't you know? You still have the nerve to say that Brother Jianuo hit you? If uncle is at home, he can discount all the brooms Do you believe it or not?"

"Woooo...I'm not...I know I'm wrong, I just want to run ahead of him. Woooo..." Zhang Xiaodong cried with his eyes wide open and his voice tucked away.He knew he had made a mistake when he was carried back from the road by Ling Jianuo, but the two strong feet immediately kicked him badly.

In this family, he likes Xu Yi who knows everything the most, and Mi Yanchen who is omnipotent the most, but the person he really likes is Ling Jianuo who has known him for the shortest time.He thinks Ling Jianuo looks good in whatever he wears, and he looks good when he eats, even when he is indifferent to others, he can't take his eyes off him.These days, he was delighted to have a further friendship with Ling Jianuo.

But today he made Ling Jianuo angry.Those eyes that were sometimes smiling and sometimes alienated were full of coldness and hostility, as if they wanted to tear him apart.At that moment, he only felt that Ling Jianuo hated him and would never talk to him again. The huge psychological shock made him forget the pain in his leg, and he just opened his mouth and cried loudly.

Xu Yi looked at the little man in front of him whose face was getting paler and paler, and was really speechless. He tried to figure out something by himself. "Okay, uncle is not at home, so he won't beat you with a broom, you should think about how to admit your mistake to brother Jianuo, he will go into the room and sulk when he comes back."

"Brother Yi" Zhang Xiaodong's expression was very complicated, "Brother Jianuo, will he not like me?" The kid who lacked front teeth had a bleak face, trembling with a crying voice, falling on his heart like ice scum in the cold winter Yes, it's chilling.

Ling Jianuo's temperament might really beat someone to death with a rake, and he didn't give him a chance to know his mistakes and correct them.Xu Yi couldn't bear it, so he lightly patted him on the shoulder and comforted him, "It's okay, brother Jianuo loves you so much, just admit your mistake, he will forgive you, and I will accompany you."

"Yeah..." Zhang Xiaodong became more courageous when he was accompanied by someone.He took Xu Yi's hand and knocked on the door.The two waited for a while, and saw that there was no movement in the room, and their big and small eyes were a little uneasy.Xu Yi let out a breath, turned the handle and walked in directly.

The curtains were drawn in the room, and the light was very dark. A tall figure was leaning against the window and facing the outside in a daze through the slit of the curtains. There was an inexplicable sadness and twisted hatred on the visible side, which was very different from the past.

"Cough, cough..." The choking smell of smoke in the room made Zhang Xiaodong and Xu Yi cover their mouths and cough.

Ling Jianuo seemed to be awakened suddenly, turned his head and shouted with red eyes: "Get out!"

Xu Yi was taken aback, and Zhang Xiaodong leaned closer to him, squeezing his hand even tighter.Ling Jianuo pulled back the curtains irritably, opened the window and threw out the remaining half of the cigarette butt in his hand.The cold wind poured into the room, and the three of them were woken up by the coolness.Xu Yi pushed Zhang Xiaodong to signal him to apologize, Zhang Xiaodong waited for Ai Ai to step forward, "Jia, brother Jianuo..."

"Have you finished counting?" Ling Jianuo interrupted him, sitting on Mi Yanchen's bed and looking up at him.

Zhang Xiaodong nodded hurriedly, "I'm done counting, I didn't come back until the red light came on 10 times."

Seeing the joy bursting out in his eyes, Ling Jianuo felt less angry in his heart.He left Zhang Xiaodong alone to count 10 red lights on the side of the road before he was allowed to come back, but he didn't go far at that time, but watched from the opposite corner.He knew how hard he kicked those two kicks in a hurry, and he saw Zhang Xiaodong honestly crying and counting, and walked back with grinning feet, so he rode his bicycle back first.

After Ling Jianuo finished asking, he stopped talking and just stared at Zhang Xiaodong.Zhang Xiaodong felt uncomfortable as if he had provoked fleas, his small eyes were fixed on the sheet under Ling Jianuo's buttocks.Xu Yi secretly annoyed him for being an idiot, so he smoothed things over with a smile. "Brother Jianuo, don't be angry with Xiaodong, he already knew he was wrong..."

Ling Jianuo raised his eyes and glanced at him, Xu Yi's remaining words were choked back in his stomach by that unclear look.He smiled sarcastically, and stepped back towards the door, "Then... you guys talk, I'll go out and watch TV."

His hand was thrown away, Zhang Xiaodong was sweating anxiously, he wanted to turn around and hold Xu Yi but was afraid of Ling Jianuo's ice-skate-like eyes.When the door was closed, he blushed like he was going all out and said, "Brother Jianuo, I know I was wrong, so please punish me, don't be angry."

Ling Jianuo got up and walked in front of him, seeing that he closed his eyes in fright, his small body trembled a bit, and shook his head, a little bit dumbfounded.It seemed that he kicked his feet hard today.

"Take off your pants and lie down on the bed." Ling Jianuo ordered without looking back, and opened the cabinet to find ointment.

Zhang Xiaodong's face turned even redder, and he looked back with a bulging face.It's a pity that Ling Jianuo didn't look at him at all.He was a little depressed, stared at his toes and struggled for a while, but obediently took off his shoes and socks, cleaned his trouser legs, climbed onto the bed, took a pillow under his stomach, and lay down there with a heroic sacrifice. appearance.

Ling Jianuo found out the ointment, and when he turned around to see this scene, he was immediately happy.It was a cold day, and Zhang Xiaodong was wearing three pairs of trousers, and there was no way to roll them up without taking them off.He walked over quickly, closed the window, sat down on the edge of the bed, and raised his hand to slap Zhang Xiaodong's upturned ass.

"Slap!" The child's buttocks were not big, but the skin was tender, and the two petals of the buttocks were squeezed together. When he slapped down, the child immediately bounced a few times.Ling Jianuo thought it was fun, so he raised his hand and slapped him on the other side. "Snapped!"

Zhang Xiaodong just felt that he held his breath and almost suffocated himself.Ling Jianuo's slap was more childish than Mi Yanchen's, it didn't hurt at all as if he hadn't been slapped.But in front of the elder brother that he likes and admires the most, it's really embarrassing to be beaten with his bare buttocks like this, with a crisp sound.

Ling Jianuo glanced at his lovely scarlet color that was so red to the base of his neck, squeezed a lump of ointment into the palm of his hand, and asked casually: "It's just wrong, wrong, do you know where it's wrong?"

His voice was a little cold, but it was still in the usual cold category.Zhang Xiaodong breathed a sigh of relief. He could feel Ling Jianuo's sharply reduced anger, and he lowered his head and confessed more honestly: "I shouldn't run red lights. My uncle taught me a long time ago, and even Yue'er taught me that too." .”

Suddenly remembered something, Zhang Xiaodong raised his body, and begged anxiously: "Brother Jianuo, can you not tell Yue'er about this? My uncle said that I am a brother, and I want to lead my sister well. Yue'er knows that I ran a red light, and she will follow suit in the future, that would be bad."

"Do you still know how to imitate?" The corner of Ling Jianuo's mouth curled up a little, but it disappeared quickly.He glanced at Zhang Xiaodong's butt that was upturned on the pillow and asked, "Who taught you this posture?"

Zhang Xiaodong looked back wonderingly, his face blushed, and he said embarrassingly: "I used to make my mother angry all the time, so my uncle deliberately tormented me, made me lie on the bed and waited to be beaten, and even made me put my butt up point……"

"When was it before?" Ling Jianuo didn't intend to beat him, and pulled a blanket to cover his butt, kneaded the ointment in his hands, and held his calf to apply the ointment on him.

"...Not long after my father died, they said I was a bastard without a father, ah! It hurts!"

Ling Jianuo held him tightly, seeing his tears bursting from the pain, his heart ached and his face turned cold, "Lie down for me and don't move around, and remember it when you know it hurts, otherwise there will be more pain .”

"Wuuu... Brother Jianuo, take it easy." Zhang Xiaodong knew at this moment that he was drugging himself, or that he was wearing a sinful body. Naturally, he didn't dare to make Ling Jianuo angry anymore, but his calf His stomach hurt like a knife, but he still cried.

On the calf that can be held with one hand, a purple-black mass is obviously swollen very high, and there is still a faint patch of Yinhong under the surface.Ling Jianuo tried his best to keep his movements light, but still stubbornly rubbed the ointment on the swollen flesh.When he used to practice leg and foot skills with Wang Can, he was often kicked by Wang Can. When Tang Wenjie applied medicine to him, he was also ruthless.If the congestion is not removed, it will be very bad for the growth of the child.

"Your uncle can make trouble." Ling Jianuo distracted him by talking to him.

Zhang Xiaodong is a gossip, now that his butt is bare, he doesn’t mind telling Ling Jianuo some embarrassing things, he grinned and said: “Well, once a few boys in our class discussed kicking me out of the team , said that I am a bastard without a father, so I will not be allowed to be the captain. After school, I ran to the mound behind, and only went home after dark. My uncle let me stand in the yard as a potted plant in a fit of anger. Add a stick of incense when you move it. You don’t know how much I wish God would blow some wind to make the incense burn faster.”

Ling Jianuo was happy, and squeezed another lump of ointment to rub his legs, "And then, how long did you stand there? Was there any punishment?"

"Added" The past was unbearable, and Zhang Xiaodong still looked sad and felt unlucky when he mentioned it again, "Added two sticks of incense."

"That's not much." Ling Jianuo responded casually.Added two bets, together it is three bets.When he didn't practice well before, Wang Can was able to torment him night after night. He practiced until he closed his eyes and had to mechanically avoid the sandbags thrown from all sides. When he was exhausted, he was often beaten down when he got up up.

Like a kitten whose tail has been stepped on, Zhang Xiaodong hammered the quilt and said angrily: "What is it called not much? You don't know how annoying my uncle is. He sits on a small bench and looks at me, and even pulls out his fist." A stalk of dogtail brushed my face for a while, and poked it under my nose for a while."

"Hehe..." Ling Jianuo was really happy this time, he tilted his head and imagined the scene at that time.The smaller version of Zhang Xiaodong looked aggrieved and unable to resist, as well as Mi Yanchen's dishonest look.

Seeing Ling Jianuo smile, Zhang Xiaodong let out a long breath. Brother Jianuo is more scary than his uncle when he is angry. I always feel that if he doesn’t smile and has a gloomy face, it’s like he doesn’t want you...

Thinking of "I don't want you", Zhang Xiaodong worked harder to make Ling Jianuo happy. "However, my uncle later made me a big bowl of egg noodles. He also told me that I can't treat him as my father, because I have my own father, and my father is a great hero. As the son of a hero, I should be proud. But My uncle also said that although I can't treat him as a father, he will treat me as a son."

Ling Jianuo looked thoughtfully at the excited Zhang Xiaodong, and suddenly missed Mi Yanchen who had just left in the morning.

The more Zhang Xiaodong talked, the more excited he became. Seeing that Ling Jianuo had given him the medicine, he untied the blanket and turned over and said, "My uncle bought a football and taught me how to play it. When our class can't win the game with other classes, the teacher I was sent to the field again. That time I scored three goals, turning our class into victory, and then I became the football captain of the class again.”

Ling Jianuo put away the ointment, remembered the school, sat him on the edge of the bed, threw his trousers to him, watched him pull out the trousers and put them on again, pulled the chair and sat in front of him and said, "What do you do every day during this vacation?" One hour of homework, you are not allowed to go out to play until you finish it, I will let you brother Yi check it for you. This time I will help you hide it from your uncle, but there will never be a next time, so you have to focus on your homework. "

"Oh... Got it." Zhang Xiaodong replied in a drawn-out voice, jumped out of bed and collapsed his pants on his body.Seeing Ling Jianuo's look of letting go, he thought for a while and grabbed the corner of his clothes, "Brother Jianuo, don't be sad, uncle also hopes you are happy in heaven, I won't run a red light in the future."

Ling Jianuo was stunned for a moment, realizing that the uncle he was talking about was Ling Yuntian, and suddenly felt relieved that a little bastard would comfort others.Seeing that the little ghost in front of him still had tears from crying in his clear eyes, he raised his eyebrows with a smile and said, "I will remember your promise, and next time, I will hang you head and foot upside down." The tree in the yard is regarded as a hanged ghost, and if you don't burn incense, it will be counted by the hour."

Zhang Xiaodong's eyes widened, and he thought Ling Jianuo's instant smile was so handsome, but his words like a spring breeze made him shudder severely.
