The ball in his arms thumped to the ground, and Luo Youning jumped, only to realize that there was a man standing at the top of the stairs facing him.

It was a scorching summer day, but the man was still wearing a neat black suit. He was tall and tall, standing there like a high black wall.

He stared at him blankly.

Luo Youning looked at the little girl, then at the man, just about to open his mouth to speak, followed by a frightening whining of a wild beast.

The stench rushed into his nostrils, and Luo Youning stood on his head covered in hairs. He instinctively sensed the danger, but when he caught sight of the evil beast behind him from the corner of his eye, he froze on the spot.

It was a large wolfhound half as tall as a man. At this moment, it was lying down, its short hair stood on end, and it bared its teeth and snorted at him, as if it was going to pounce.

Luo Youning almost ran away, but fortunately, his sanity remained, and he could barely pretend to be calm: "I'm sorry, my brother's ball rolled in accidentally."

He even smiled, the light dimples on his cheeks made him look innocent as a child and handsome as a teenager.

The man showed a smile of unknown meaning. He raised his hand and made a gesture to the big dog. The big dog flicked its tail or got down obediently.

He slowly walked to his side, and put his hand on his shoulder before Luo Youning was about to hide.

His hands were cold and wet, and through the thin summer clothes, they were entangled bit by bit like a long snake covered in mucus. He lowered his head and sniffed the sweat on his neck deeply, "A soon-to-mature boy."

Luo Youning shivered, slapped his hand off, and said loudly, "I'm sorry, I broke your window just now!"

He seemed to find it interesting, and giggled when he heard the words, and put his arms around his shoulders, "Good boy, it's okay. Since you're here, sit down for a while, and I'll get you some snacks."

Luo Youning got goosebumps all over his body, and almost punched him, but he clenched his fists and tried to restrain his emotions on the verge: "No need, my friend is waiting for me outside."

He bent down to avoid the man's extended hand again, and just as he was about to walk away, the big dog beside him suddenly stood up and stopped in front of him.

Not to be outdone, Luo Youning stared at the dog. The dog took a step closer to him, it grinned, its saliva dripped down on the ground, and the stench came straight into its nose. Only then did he notice the dog The dog's two eyeballs turned out to be red... like two pools of coagulated blood clots.

The man stood beside him leisurely, as if waiting for him to compromise.

Luo Youning was tense all over, almost wanting to put all his eggs in one basket and roll up his sleeves. Two whistles came from the door, accompanied by Yu Bingwen's deliberately lowered voice: "Ning Ning? Call Ning Ning! Did you fall into the pit? , how can it take so long to hold a ball.”

Luo Youning relaxed his tense nerves, and shouted: "Da Yu, I'm here! Come in!"

The big dog in front of him slipped away silently against the crack of the wall.

"Ning Ning? What's the matter?" Yu Bingwen slammed the door open and hurried in, but froze on the spot when he saw the man: "Tang... cousin, are you at home?"

The man stared at Yu Bingwen for a while, then suddenly said: "You are Yu Bingwen?"

Yu Bingwen laughed awkwardly: "It's me, I haven't seen my cousin for a long time."

Luo Youning grabbed Yu Bingwen's clothes and tried to pull him away quickly.

The man refused to let them go and said, "When did you come back?"

"I came back last month," Yu Bingwen looked at the pile of broken glass in the corner, thinking that Luo Youning had just been made things difficult for him.Although he is shy, he has always regarded himself as the big brother, so he can't let the younger brother suffer, so he immediately continued: "I'm sorry, cousin, I accidentally smashed your window glass just now when I was playing football. How much money you say, I will pay for it."

"No need," Yu Bingwen was fat right now, and the man frowned as he looked at him. His expression softened only when he turned to Luo Youning, "Is this your friend? A kid from which village?"

Yu Bingwen stepped forward to stand in front of Luo Youning, and responded politely: "He is my buddy, just like my own brother. Our parents are both colleagues and work together. He has a bad temper, if he offends him in any way , please forgive me, cousin."

The man gave an "en" and asked again: "How old is he this year? What grade is he in?"

Yu Bingwen was surprised when he heard this, and couldn't help but hesitate for a moment: "I'm the same age as me, 13 years old. We are both in junior high school."

The man frowned, turned his eyes back and forth on Luo Youning, and said, "Go back."

Yu Bingwen hesitated and said, "The window..."

The man suddenly became impatient: "You don't need to pay, let's all go."

Yu Bingwen seemed to be pardoned, and he pulled Luo Youning out without saying a word.

When he came to the door, he heard the man say again, "Stop coming to my side from now on."

Yu Bingwen replied loudly without turning his head: "Okay, I won't bother my cousin in the future!"

The person who was speaking had already rushed to the court, Luo Youning hugged the ball to clear the way, and Yu Bingwen broke the path behind.

The two chased after me and rushed down the winding slope, and happened to be caught by the uncle of the Yu family who was out looking for them to go home for dinner.

It was only a short delay, and the twilight came staggeringly with the new moon.

The green hills are covered with thick ink shadows, the sunset clouds in the distant sky are scattered, the villages are full of smoke and purple, the cattle and sheep squatting in the fence in the poor alleys, chewing hay, chickens, ducks and geese are clucking and fluttering their wings, giving the peasant women a broom I rushed back to the grass nest.

A dim light in the old house was turned on late, and a large plate of mosquito coils had already been lit in the corner. The smoke from the mosquito coils had a faint smell, which made the mosquitoes dizzy, but they still managed to hit people with all their will.

The prelude to the big windmill is playing on TV, the Yu family's grandma has already cooked the table full of dishes, and the Yu family's grandfather is smoking a dry cigarette. The little children grabbed their clothes and called out to their elder brother.

Luo Youning held back his words until he went back to the house and turned off the lights at night, then took the opportunity to secretly ask Yu Bingwen: "Does he often abuse his daughter?"

"What?" Yu Bingwen asked strangely, "He doesn't even have a wife, where did he get a daughter?"

Luo Youning said in surprise, "It's the girl sitting in his living room today!"

Yu Bingwen was puzzled: "Where is the man in his living room?"

Luo Youning almost suspected that the scene in the morning was all his hallucination, but the empty eyes of the little girl were always dangling in his mind, he hurriedly explained: "It's the little girl sitting on the sofa who hasn't spoken all the time. ah."

Yu Bingwen thought for a moment: "You said that...it's very realistic, isn't it just a doll?" He scratched his head, "Don't say you read it wrong, I was shocked when I entered it. It must be Give it to the kids in the village, it's dirty."

Luo Youning was told by him, "Is it really a doll?"

"Really, brother can still lie to you." Yu Bingwen widened his eyes and made a face, "Both my eyes are 5.2, which is much better than your little four eyes!"

Luo Youning is a little short-sighted at the moment. He is afraid that people will think he has four eyes, so he has never dared to wear glasses. When he heard this, he punched him: "If you say you are awesome, you are still panting. Who are you talking about four eyes?!"

Yu Bingwen kept avoiding him with a laugh, and within a short while the two were arguing in bed, the Yu family's grandma came from next door and reprimanded him: "What's the trouble, what's the trouble, you don't sleep in the middle of the night, you all get up and do your homework!"

The two immediately became quiet as chickens.

The wooden window is next to the bed, and the strips of window lattice separate the blocky night.Lying on the bed, you can see the fireflies fluttering in the bright night sky, the moonlight comes slowly, and the silver light covers the edge of the bed like flowing water.

Luo Youning slept on the inside, frowning thoughtfully.

Yu Bingwen couldn't see him worrying, so he stretched out his hand to pinch his nose, and whispered: "What's the matter? My mother said that my cousin has mental problems, so don't take anything he wants to tell you to heart," he paused After a pause, he clenched his fists, "But if he bullies you, I'm sure I won't be able to let him go!"

"Forget it, you're just as cowardly as you are." Luo Youning felt disgusted when he thought of the way he ran away with his head in his arms when he was fighting.He paused for a moment and thought of something again, frowning as if it was a bit difficult to say, he hesitated for a long time before angrily said, "He... he still pinches my ass today!"

Yu Bingwen laughed loudly, and pinched his buttocks under the covers: "Luo Ningning's buttocks are so fleshy, and they are so big and fertile!"

Luo Youning became so angry that she raised her foot and wanted to kick him.

Yu Bingwen hurriedly hid, and immediately put on a serious face and muttered: "But it's better to stay away from him."

Luo Youning looked at him strangely: "What's wrong?"

Yu Bingwen exhaled close to his ear, and said mysteriously: "My cousin is not a good person. He was imprisoned in the city for a long time before, and he was only released in recent years. His parents were kept alive by him." I'm so angry, other people in the village don't know the inside story, but our family knows it all. Otherwise, you think you can take him home and raise him because my grandparents and grandparents are all treasures? My dad said it's a family scandal and it's not easy to spread it. , but my mother told us not to get close to him, saying that he was dirty."

Luo Youning nodded with a half understanding, and was very curious: "Then he killed someone?"

"Stupid! Those who kill people will be shot!" Yu Bingwen knocked him on the head, turned over and lay on his back, with his hands folded behind his head, and said in a deep voice like an adult, "Is it rape or something. Who? You know, he’s not a good person anyway.”
