wilderness

Spring Community is an old-fashioned community. Eighteen buildings have experienced wind and rain, and the walls are yellow with black stains, and some are faded and mottled.The tallest building is only six floors high, so there are no elevators in this community.

Most of the people living in the community are locals, who speak mandarin with an impatient dialect, and greet each other with a smug flavor, but no one cares. This has been a tradition in the spring community for decades.The relationship between the neighbors is usually quite harmonious, and when they are free, they move stools and sit in the parking lot to chat with each other. The parking lot without a few cars has become a place for people to hang out after dinner.

They talked about their own children being smart and promising, about someone’s daughter-in-law being beaten, about the noise next door in the middle of the night so loud that the whole building couldn’t sleep well...they were all other people’s jokes, yes But he kept silent about his own family.Often something serious happened to a certain household on a certain floor of a certain building in the community, and finally it was reported in the parking lot. When seeing the person involved afterwards, everyone would smile knowingly.

It can be said that the [-] families in the [-] buildings in the spring community have no secrets.

What happened to the Gu family has been rumored as early as three years ago.

What's the matter?Gu Tianze's wife, Huang Min, ran away with the big boss in another place. Gu Tianze was so angry that he called the police. The police found Huang Min. Huang Min, who lived in a mansion and was holding cat poop coffee, said: "This is a relationship between the couple. First, I didn’t break the law, and second, I didn’t commit a crime. Can you still arrest me?” The big boss sat next to her, holding a cigar, puffing on a cigarette, and said leisurely: “Comrade police, this is my god-sister, please. What happened to my sister who came to my house to visit relatives? I will send her back in a few days, please tell my brother-in-law not to worry." The police had no choice but to come back and tell Gu Tianze that this matter cannot be filed.

Gu Tianze was so angry that he drank a lot of wine, and scolded his mother in front of his 14-year-old son: "Your mother is a slut with broken shoes! Shameful bitch! I, Gu Tianze, have lost all face!" He looked Looking at Gu Beiqiao, who looks exactly like his mother, suddenly got evil fire, and slapped him, "Your mother is gone, do you know! Can't you call her and ask her to come back? White-eyed wolf! Look at me divorced her!" What are you going to do, who are you going with!"

Gu Beiqiao staggered and fell to the ground after being hit by him. After a while, he covered his face in a daze, feeling that his face didn't hurt, it was just hot.

Seeing him like this, Gu Tianze became even more angry and drunk, so he punched and kicked him. "You son of a slut! Why don't you run away when your mother ran away! The boss is so rich, you tell his father to go! You have raised you for so many years, you white-eyed wolf! You eat mine and live in mine every day. You don’t even want to let you wash the dishes! You still despise me, you go away! Don’t come back after you leave!” At the end of the scolding, he didn’t know whether he was scolding Gu Beiqiao or Huang Min.In the end, he was tired, and collapsed on the sofa with a beer bottle in his arms, muttering "White-eyed wolf, stinky bitch," and fell asleep.

Gu Beiqiao lay motionless on the ground. When he was beaten just now, even though he curled up to protect his head, he was kicked on the head, and the back of his head was still vibrating, as if someone had fiddled with a stretched rubber band inside. Again, buzzing.

As for the fact that his mother ran away with others, Gu Beiqiao also learned about it from other people in the community.One day after school, Grandma Li grabbed him furtively and asked him, "Is your mother at home?" Gu Beiqiao was puzzled, shook his head and answered her: "No, she hasn't been back for two days." Grandma Li took Looking at him with pity, he sighed and said: "Poor thing, your mother is really a sinner, such a good family, such a handsome child, if you don't want it, you don't want it, that boss from out of town is comparable to your father except for being rich! Now young woman..."

Gu Beiqiao's heart was pounding, and when he returned home, he saw Gu Tianze's dark face and protruding beard, feeling a little uneasy, but he didn't dare to ask Gu Tianze.He ate obediently as usual, did his homework, and even ran to the master bedroom to say good night before going to bed.

A week later, this incident became more and more popular in the spring community. Some people even said that Gu Beiqiao was born by Huang Min and other wild men, so he didn't look like Gu Tianze at all.When Gu Tianze came home from get off work, a man in the same corridor showed him a meaningful smile, and he finally couldn't help but explode.That night, he rummaged through boxes and cabinets, found all the beer in the house, drank and cursed, until Gu Beiqiao was out of school, and when he opened the door, he saw his calm face.

At that moment, it was all nonsense to use alcohol to relieve his sorrow. Alcohol magnified his anger several times, and he began to wonder if this indifferent young man was his own kind. He unconsciously swears a lot of ugly words, trying to anger his son , and even moved his hands later, but Gu Beiqiao remained the same, neither refuting, nor resisting, nor saying a word.

The next day, Gu Tianze finally sobered up, rubbed his stinging temples, and suddenly remembered the violence he had done to his son last night. He turned pale with fright, and opened the door of Gu Beiqiao's bedroom, but he was nowhere to be seen. exist.

It's over, Qiaoqiao also left me, Gu Tianze covered his face, his temples throbbed like they exploded.

Gu Beiqiao didn't leave. That Thursday, he still had to go to school with his schoolbag on his back.But on the way, she ran into her classmate Zhang Yueyue. Zhang Yueyue pointed at his face and asked in surprise, "Gu Beiqiao, why is your face so swollen! Do you want to go to the hospital?"

Gu Beiqiao touched the bulging right half of his face, and finally decided not to go to school. This was the first time he skipped class.

Fortunately, Zhang Yueyue said empathetically, "Don't worry, I will explain the situation to the teacher for you."

Gu Beiqiao thanked Zhang Yueyue, but where could he go if he didn't go to school?go home?He thought about Gu Tianze's drunk appearance, and was a little scared, so he went to an abandoned unfinished building on the way.

This is the place he discovered when he was six years old. At that time, the unfinished building was still a construction site, and Gu Tianze painted the building here.At that time, Huang Min also had to go to work, and when Gu Beiqiao was not going to kindergarten, he would follow his father to the construction site. His father drove him on a bicycle, passing through the green street trees in the city along the way.The construction site was too noisy and dusty, so Gu Beiqiao was wandering around, so he discovered the wilderness.

The field behind the construction site was overgrown with weeds, and two railway tracks crossed, but no train was ever seen.Gu Beiqiao always squatted in the grass, looking for scattered flowers hidden in the dogtail grass.He especially likes a tall, slender plant with small pink-purple or white eight-petal flowers on the top, which stands out from the pack of dogtail grass.When the wind blows, those flowers will sway, let him know that flowers also have waves.

14-year-old Gu Beiqiao hasn't been to that field for a long time. Ever since Boss Yu, the contractor of the building, absconded with money, Gu Tianze not only failed to get his salary, but also lost his job. Feel bad.Gu Beiqiao has never been to that place again, but now he really wants to go and see that wild land and wild flowers.He forgot about Huang Min's departure and Gu Tianze's beating and scolding, and went to see his old friend full of joy, but when he arrived at the unfinished building, he felt that he had been splashed with cold water.

How can there be wild land behind the unfinished building?Where are the wildflowers?Only the bare loess is exposed, and there is a sign that reads: This place has been acquired by Chaoyue Company, and construction will be carried out soon, and idlers are not allowed to enter.

Gu Beiqiao was greatly disappointed. He walked around the unfinished building for a long time, and then ran upstairs to overlook the surrounding scenery.He remembered that there was a shop selling construction materials called Xinrong Building Materials at the entrance of the construction site. There was also a refrigerator in the shop, and the owner also sold popsicles.Sometimes Huang Min came to the construction site to pick him up early after get off work, and bought three popsicles for the three of them to share.Now the door of the store is closed, and even the bright red billboard is covered with dust, making it difficult to read its name.

Gu Beiqiao finally realized that everything had changed, he felt distraught, and returned home before the sun went down.

It was only after opening the door that something was wrong. Sitting on the sofa was Huang Min who hadn't seen him for ten days. Gu Tianze moved a chair and sat opposite her. The two had a heated argument.Looking up and seeing Gu Beiqiao come back, Huang Min screamed, "Qiaoqiao, what's wrong with your face!" Turning his head, he said angrily, "Gu Tianze! How dare you hit my son!" Standing up, he went to grab Gu Tianze s face.

Gu Tianze stretched out his hand to block her attack, and said loudly, "It's not your fault! You messed around with others, and now when you go out, everyone says that Qiaoqiao is not my son!"

Huang Min sneered: "Okay, I can see your true face today, so I followed you with all my heart. I had Qiaoqiao at the age of 19, and now you tell me that the son you have raised for 14 years is not yours! You How heartless!"

Gu Tianze replied: "I have no conscience? You let Qiaoqiao say for himself, who left us father and son and ran away with other men? Who let us be poked in the back and watch jokes? How did I treat you all these years? You forgot about yours? To buy clothes and jewelry for you, I rode a bicycle for more than ten years! It’s hard to live comfortably, and you have to leave again! Okay! Don’t you just look at other people’s money? Divorce is divorce, I Gu Tianze doesn't care about you, a gold worshiper!"

"I'm a gold digger, why don't you look at yourself! I've been living in this dilapidated house for more than ten years! I don't even have a car, and I either take the bus or ride that bicycle to and from work every day! Look at the tip next door, I'm younger than you, and I bought a suite and a car in the city center! It's okay if you don't want to be aggressive, don't drag me, is it wrong for me to think about living a good life?"

The two quarreled violently, pushing and pulling, Gu Beiqiao felt as if a heavy lead was blocked in his heart, and hid in his bedroom as if fleeing, closing the door.He sat at the desk and read the text he was supposed to learn today, but he couldn't calm down. The noise of the two people outside the room could easily penetrate the thin wooden door.

"Okay, I didn't come back today to quarrel with you." Huang Min sat back on the sofa exhaustedly, took out a piece of paper from his purse and said, "This is the divorce agreement, sign it, I don't want to be with you. "

Gu Beiqiao's hand holding the textbook trembled, and his stomach churned. Even though he hadn't eaten all day, he still wanted to vomit.He hugged his belly and moved gently behind the door, with his ear pressed against the door, he heard Gu Tianze's tired voice, "Okay, okay, okay, just forget about it if you don't want to, what about Qiaoqiao?"

"I also love Qiaoqiao very much, but I, a divorced woman, can't carry a mop bottle. You can take it. I will pay the child support to your card."

After that, Gu Beiqiao couldn't hear it anymore.His head was buzzing, his heart was about to jump out of his chest, his mouth was dry, and his stomach was regurgitating. 'Ugh', he opened his mouth to spit it out, snot, tears and sour water dripped down his chin.

On this day, everything really changed.
