wilderness

In the scorching afternoon, the cicadas are noisy, and everything that can be seen is burnt white and dazzling. The city is like a big steamer with white steam.Generally, no one will go out at this time, and there are also pedestrians passing by holding umbrellas and fully armed.

The treetops were motionless, the river water was motionless, and the reinforced concrete buildings were motionless.Everything was still except for the twisted vision steaming off the road.

Adults are too hot and afraid of the sun, but children are full of energy. As long as they don't suffer from heat stroke, they will always try their best to play and have fun.Even if someone does not want to participate, they will be pulled out by their partners. Otherwise, they will not fit in with the group, and they will face isolation and blindness in the future.

A group of children went out in the hot weather of 35 degrees, and the adults cursed and ordered a few words: Don't run far, just play in the parking lot of the community, don't stand in the sun stupidly.Parents who are more careful will add another sentence: Be careful, be careful of that psychopath!

The children were free, no matter what the parents said, they just nodded and obediently agreed, and when they turned around, they barked their teeth and claws to call for friends.

As soon as they went downstairs, their backs were wet with sweat. It seemed that it was impossible to wander around in such a hot day, so they had to occupy two parking spaces in the parking lot, sat down on the ground and looked at each other. "What are you playing today?" someone asked.

One of them took out a stack of playing cards from his trouser pocket, threw it on the ground, and said excitedly: "Play cards!"

"Playing cards again? No fun." Someone said wearily.

"Then what are you playing? Has anyone brought out a game console?"

"No, my game console is locked in the cabinet by my mother."

"Oh, boring, if I knew it, I wouldn't be able to watch cartoons at home."

"Let's do this," the kid who took out the poker cards still didn't give up, and continued to encourage, "Today we change the game and play fast running. The first one who runs out of cards in his hand wins, and the rest continue to play." , until there is the last person left, he is the one who loses, and the one who loses must obey the orders of the winner! Others watch the fun."

"What order?" The others were indeed aroused by him.

"The one who wins tells the one who loses to do one thing, no matter what must be done. How?"

"Then tell him to eat shit?" One person said with a smirk.

"Oh, just don't go too far, this kind of order to eat shit can not be executed!"

"Okay, then let's play! Who will shuffle the cards?" The group of bored kids finally agreed to the game and started fighting in full swing.

Soon, the winner and loser will be decided. The winner looked at the dejected man and laughed, and the rest watched the joke, "What do you want him to do? Say it!"

The man swept his eyes around, and landed on a sycamore tree not far away, and suddenly thought badly, "I want you to scold Gu Beiqiao."

Everyone's eyes followed his fingers, and they couldn't help shivering when they saw the familiar figure standing under the canopy of the huge plane tree. "He is crazy, he will kill when he goes crazy!"

"What are you afraid of? There are six of us! He keeps staring at us and playing, I've been upset with him for a long time!"

"How many years is he older than us? He is seventeen. Can we beat him?"

"Did you forget? There is a security guard at the entrance of the parking lot. He is an adult and we are children. If he sees us being beaten, he will definitely come to help us."

"That's right! You can go, Da Mao, whoever called him a psychopath."

The kid who lost had no choice but to get up and walk towards the tree under the expectant eyes of his friends.

Under the shadow of the sycamore tree stood a tall and thin young man, his pale face made him look a little sick.He frowned, and his eyes, which always seemed to be misty, were staring at the group of children in the parking lot without blinking.He was puzzled to find that the group of children were pointing at him, and one of them was still approaching him.In the past, they wanted to avoid it far away, why is it so abnormal today?

He kept his composure, watched the child approaching with cold eyes, blushed and cursed at him: "Gu Beiqiao, you crazy! Why do you keep looking at us! We don't play with crazy! You go to the Third Hospital for treatment Get a cure!" After cursing, he ran back to the parking lot and laughed with the others.

The boy's face darkened, he knew they were laughing at him, but he still didn't leave, still standing under the tree.On such a hot day, the light blue T-shirt he was wearing was very dry and he didn't even sweat. His whole body was shadowy and straight under the tree, as if another tree had taken root here.

Seeing that he didn't move, the group of children thought he didn't understand, so they changed a few people to provoke, and some even scolded: "Are you a bastard? You didn't respond when others scolded you like that! Are your parents dead?" Did someone teach you?"

All the vicious words seemed to hit the air, and the young man just stared at them motionlessly, both finding it ridiculous and spying on them secretly.It's not that he doesn't respond, it's that he's too lazy to retort, he just wants to solve it.

If only they could be whipped with sticks, he thought.But no, he knew that there was someone in the security booth next to him who was closely watching the movement here.As long as he taught those children a little bit, the strong bear-like security guard would rush out, drag him home like a chicken, and complain to his father with a sneer: "Your family The child is better to watch it, otherwise it will be troublesome when someone breaks it, if you really can't watch it, you should send it to the third hospital and lock it up." After that, what awaited him was confinement for several months, locked in a small two rooms In the house in the first hall, apart from eating, drinking, and scatter, there is only a cabinet of books that have been turned over countless times.

He blinked indifferently, and the tear mole at the corner of his eye trembled slightly with his curled eyelashes. Didn't he just call himself crazy, and he was often called this way at home, but his fingers curled up unconsciously, and his nails pierced through the flesh.

"Gu Beiqiao, mentally ill. If he doesn't pay attention, he will go crazy. The third hospital and the third hospital can't cure him, so he has to call 110!"

"Well made up, I'll make one too!" A chubby boy looked at the boy and laughed, "Gu Beiqiao, so pretty, she's actually a little girl!"

"Haha! Er Fatty, you won't fall in love with the crazy guy because he looks good!" A child booed.

"How is it possible! Who would like psychosis!" Er Fatty blushed and kicked the man.

No matter how the children made noise, the boy still didn't say a word, his eyes alternated between several people, as if he was watching a group of buzzing flies.

The children felt bored and stood in the sun for a while, their heads were burning, and finally turned around and went back to the parking lot.Just worrying about losing the fun, a child suddenly said: "When I went downstairs to throw out the trash in the morning, I saw a puppy. It was very small. I don't know who threw it away."

Someone answered: "Maybe it's Grandma Wang next door. Doesn't her family have a big yellow dog? Maybe the big yellow dog is pregnant and gave birth to a puppy."

"No matter who it belongs to, since it is definitely unwanted by people beside the garbage dump, go and see if the puppy is still there, and bring us to play with it."

The child left quickly, and when he came back, he really had a puppy in his hand. "I found it in the garbage dump. I ate a mouthful of garbage. It stinks to death. You can play with it." After speaking, he threw the puppy on those people.

Hearing what he said, no one dared to pick it up, and they all avoided it. The puppy fell on the concrete floor and barked in pain.

The boy under the plane tree heard the 'oooh', and his eyes were immediately attracted to him. Seeing the group of children staring at a puppy talking about something, they couldn't help stretching their necks, as if a tree was falling. Stretch the branches and leaves.

"Doesn't a dog bark like 'Wow, woof, woof, woof, woof'? Is it a dog?" A child looked suspiciously at the little thing on the ground.

"It's a dog. Where did the wolf come from in the community? Besides, how can there be a wolf with yellow fur?"

"Then why doesn't it bark like 'Wow, woof, woof, woof, woof, woof, woof, woof, woof, woof' written in textbooks, 'meow meow meow' for a kitten, and 'croak croak' for a frog!"

"How do I know?" A child kicked the puppy that was trying to escape, and accidentally kicked it hard, turning it over, and the puppy wailed again.

"Listen, it's 'Aoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo'!"

"Impossible! The dog's bark is 'Wow, woof, woof'!" A child was unconvinced and kicked it again.

The dirty, khaki puppy had nowhere to escape under the feet of six people and twelve, trembling with fright, screaming incessantly.

The young man finally couldn't bear it anymore, pulled out the roots that were deeply planted in the ground, and walked step by step to the entrance of the parking lot. He lowered his voice like a ghost and suddenly said, "What are you doing?"

The six children were startled by him and took a few steps back. One of them was tripped by the puppy and almost fell to the ground.

"You... what are you doing? Don't come here!"

"You dare to come over and I will call someone!"

The boy ignored them, walked up to the puppy and knelt down, stroking its head with his fingers.

A child braved up and said loudly: "That's our dog, don't touch it!"

The boy remained silent. He found that when he put his hand on the puppy's chin and scratched it gently, the fear in its eyes would be less.

"Did you hear that! Put down our dog or I'll tell my dad!"

The boy glanced in the child's direction, and the child felt terrified at the sight of him, and shouted: "Gu Beiqiao snatched my dog! A psychotic bully!"

A round bald head protruded from the security booth, with strips of flesh hanging around his neck, and shouted, "Gu Beiqiao! Don't scare the children!"

The boy picked up the dog and didn't think it was dirty or smelly. He stood up and said coldly to the six children, "Call me to go to your house through the window while you are asleep at night."

Regardless of the frightened expressions of the children, the boy turned around and left with the dog in his arms.

I can't bask in the sun with the old Wutong today, I don't know if it will affect my development, when will I be as tall as the old Wutong, the young man thought to himself, but he didn't regret it.He looked at the little yellow dog in his arms, showed a faint smile, and quickly restrained it.Climb to the fourth floor, hold the dog in one hand, and take out the key in the pocket with the other hand to open the door.

There was no one at home at this point, so he first bathed the puppy with a shower head, wiped it clean and put it in his room, then found a ham sausage from the refrigerator, tore off the plastic wrap, and put it on a clean paper In front of the puppy, the puppy sniffed it and began to eat it in small mouthfuls.

When the boy lowered his head, he noticed that his T-shirt was stained with a foul smell. He grabbed the corner of the shirt and pulled it up, and he took off the clothes, revealing a smooth back and delicate butterfly bones.

He sat cross-legged on the floor, looked at the puppy eating, and said in a soft voice, "Hello, my name is Gu Beiqiao."

The author has something to say: Today's Gongbao thinks he is a small tree, and his dream is to stand shoulder to shoulder with that sycamore tree.
