One meter high

Xiao Zhu was humming a song.

This song has no tune, it is all according to his heart, and it is flying briskly at this time, just like his mood.

With his bag on his back, he walked through the narrow and dirty alleys familiarly, and walked on the small roads that the smart map app would never include.

This is a forgotten corner of the city, where discarded electronic components are piled up into hills, like a not-so-quiet cemetery.Xiao Zhu kicked away an old mobile phone, flexibly climbed over the guardrail, and climbed a rusty ladder to a huge container. On top of it, there was a smaller container.

This light blue shipping container has been converted into a simple house, with a door and two windows, with stars and moons drawn beside the windows, and two potted flowers placed at the door.Xiao Zhu put away the ladder first, tidied up her clothes, and then walked to the door, raised her hand and buckled three times, one long and two short.

The door of the room was opened immediately, and a tender childish voice floated out: "Brother!"

Xiao Zhu put one hand in his pocket, smiled and bent down, hugging the kid who rushed towards him.

This is a boy about six or seven years old, with slightly curly hair, slightly chubby cheeks, round and big eyes, like a doll sold in a toy store.Xiao Zhu weighed him: "Hey, it's full and heavy again!"

The boy covered his face full of embarrassment, but revealed a pair of eyes, looking at him eagerly.

Xiao Zhu carried Manman into the room with one hand, and the room was tidied up very neatly.In the small space, there is a big mattress, a plastic chair, and a small car made of waste parts on the wooden cabinet.

He put it full on the plastic chair, took the other hand out of his pocket, and put his fist in front of the boy's eyes: "Guess what I brought you?"

"delicious!"

Xiao Zhu smiled and spread out her hands, which were empty.

He smacked his lips in disappointment, and was about to say something when Xiao Zhu patted his pocket suddenly: "You kid, you actually secretly hid delicious food!"

"No—" the words came to an abrupt end, he opened his eyes incredulously, took out sweet candies one after another from his pocket, and held them in his hands, both confused and pleasantly surprised.

"Look, I got all the stolen goods." Xiao Zhu smiled, "You only need to eat one a day, if you eat more, I will spank your ass."

Nodding in a hurry, he treasured the candies and put them one by one into the glass bottle on the cabinet—that was his exclusive snack jar.

After putting in the last candy, he stopped and handed the candy to Xiao Zhu.

"Brother, you eat."

Xiao Zhu didn't refuse, took the candy and peeled off the wrapper, and threw it into her mouth.Pressing the tip of his tongue against the candy, he slowly tasted the milky aroma that filled his mouth, while throwing the bag he was carrying behind him on the mattress, he took stock of his spoils in a good mood.

If Yuan Yue were here at this time, he would immediately recognize that the bag Xiao Zhu was carrying was his own luggage.

"I met a big stupid goose yesterday, but I'm so stupid, I believe what I say." Xiao Zhu smiled and said to Man Man, "I was fooled by me in a few words, a few years earlier than the two of us. It's much easier for the human trafficker who cheated the world! It would be great if I could meet such a fool every day."

Manman also stuffed a piece of candy into his mouth, and nodded vigorously when he heard the words, with a full face of approval.

"Let me see what good things that fool has brought." Xiao Zhu muttered, turned the bag upside down and shook it, and saw all kinds of strange things clattering to the ground.

"Brother, what are these?" Full of interest, he squatted on the ground and poked left and right, his face full of curiosity.

Xiao Zhu stood there dumbfounded.

This, what are these!

Broken wooden swords, old iron nails, a bunch of thread of unknown material, a piece of tattered cloth, a strange doll that looks very suspicious, and a few stones of various shapes.

"This looks like a little rabbit!" Manman immediately found out, happily grabbed the stone, put it in his hand and looked left and right. The more he looked, the more he felt like a rabbit, so he took Xiaozhu to look at it together.

After observing it, Xiao Zhu also admitted that it was indeed very similar - but what is the use of this thing!No matter how similar it is, it is just a stone!

Walking around with this pile of junk on his back, that Yuan Yue... who the hell is he?

Looking at the eerily eerie smile that was drawn on the face of that weird puppet, Xiao Zhu suddenly felt as if he had offended someone.

——However, who made that guy so disobedient? !

Xiao Zhu touched his wrist, and gritted his teeth bitterly.

Searching through Yuan Yue's luggage, Xiao Zhu only found some messy rags and some unbranded clothes, nothing of value.After carefully pinching the empty backpack and confirming that there is no interlayer, I finally had to give up resentfully.

"It's a shame." He shook his head and sighed.Manman ran over and patted him on the shoulder in a sensible manner, and said very responsibly: "Brother, Manman won't eat for a few days, save some money."

"With your small appetite, even if you don't eat a bite, you won't save a lot of money." Xiao Zhu said with a smile, "I said a long time ago, as long as I have a bite, you will have a bite—but when the time comes, you won't be able to eat." Just eat something, I can’t run fast if I’m too fat. Don’t worry, I’ll find a way. Now you pack up quickly, we’re moving.”

"Ah?" Manman was taken aback, turned his head to look at the simple but cozy simple room, with a face full of reluctance, "Are you going to move again..."

"I can't help it, I've offended someone." Xiao Zhu smiled wryly, "Now I'm full of grievances for the time being, and when I'm capable, brother, I'll buy you a big house."

The two brothers chatted and packed their things. They are obviously used to this kind of life of "going away as soon as they say it".Not long after, one of them carried a small bag on his back, full of it and still holding his snack jar.

"Brother, I want to say goodbye to the bed and the small chair." Man Man dawdled for advice.Xiao Zhu waved his hand: "Go."

With two short legs, Man Man bid farewell to the furniture in the house one by one.

"Goodbye, bed."

"Goodbye, little chair."

"Goodbye, little paper crane."

Xiao Zhu said "Hey": "What paper crane?"

Manman blinked: "It just flew in. Didn't brother see it? He was right behind him."

Xiao Zhu froze, and was terrified by the childish voice.

"Follow me...behind?" He swallowed and asked slowly.

Man Man didn't understand his fear. In the eyes of children, the ability of paper cranes to fly was just as natural as the ability of birds to fly.He bent down, picked up the paper crane that landed lightly on the back of the chair, and showed it to Xiao Zhu.

Xiao Zhu tried his best to hide his surprise and fear, he didn't want Man Man to see it.But no matter how he pretended, the moment he saw the paper crane, he still had goose bumps all over his body, and his back felt chills.

This is an extremely familiar piece of paper. Just in the morning, he wrote "Stay" on it and drew a sarcastically smiling face.

— But how is this possible? !

At the same time, his ears caught a voice.

It was like the sound of some kind of large animal climbing.But where they are at this time, at least 8 feet from the ground.He has put away the ladder, what is it that can climb a wall nearly three meters high with bare hands?

"Ah!" Man Man let out a short exclamation, pointing out the window, "Brother!"

"Hurry up and hide!" Xiao Zhu picked up the bag and stuffed it into the space behind the cabinet.He picked up the chair by himself, quietly hid behind the door, tensed his body, ready to go.

Footsteps sounded from far to near.On the container, any small vibrations would not escape the ears of people. Xiao Zhu could already hear that the person standing outside the door was a person.

Although he didn't know what the background of this person was, Xiao Zhu was already prepared. He raised his chair high, and was ready to take the lead when the other party broke into the door.

But he waited a moment, and instead of receiving any violent knocks, the door was knocked three times in a polite and rhythmic manner.

That person... was actually knocking on the door.

Xiao Zhu was already stunned.In his consciousness, he did not expect the other party to knock on the door at all.

"May I go in?" A polite voice came from outside, "I know you are inside."

Xiao Zhu gripped the chair more forcefully, her joints turned white with force.He had already made a decision, and he fumbled for the door lock with one hand free, while the other hand held the chair up high.

He yanks the door open, and—

"Hey, do you want to give me a chair?"

Xiao Zhu still maintained the movement just now, keeping one hand high.But the small plastic chair in his hand was gone.

The tall young man in front of him was holding the chair that was originally used as a weapon, looked at it with interest, and shook his head regretfully: "This chair is too small, I can't sit in it."

"You you you—" Xiao Zhu couldn't help screaming.

"You took all my things away." Yuan Yue walked into the room, put down the chair, picked up the paper crane from the ground, and explained his reason for coming, "That's why I came to you."

"——You have no clothes on!" Xiao Zhu finally finished what she wanted to say.

Yuan Yue immediately retorted: "I put on the bath towel that the old man lent me!"

It is true that he is not completely naked. He wears a bath towel on his upper body and one on his lower body, which covers everything that should be covered—but walking on the street dressed like this is the same as running naked to the end What's the difference? !

This time, Xiao Zhu really realized that he had provoked a ruthless character.

"I used the invisibility technique, so no one will see it." Yuan Yue said frankly, with a very natural attitude, as if wearing only two bath towels in broad daylight would not cause any psychological burden to him.

No, maybe it is.

Xiao Zhu watched him walk into the room, looked around, and then sat down on the only bed, and put all the weird things scattered everywhere into the bag one by one.

He didn't seem to have any intention of incriminating the teacher, so Xiao Zhu started to touch the door quietly.But just after taking a step, Yuan Yue asked, "Why did you take my things?"

"Misunderstanding." Xiao Zhu quickly explained, "I saw that your clothes were a bit dirty, so I wanted to take them back and wash them for you."

"Really?"

Xiao Zhu thought to himself that this guy is really easy to deceive, and nodded his head wildly like a chicken pecking at rice.

Yuan Yue nodded: "Then why bother you." He stood up after speaking.

He was very tall, and once he stood up, the space in the room seemed very cramped, which further highlighted his sense of oppression.Xiao Zhu couldn't help taking two steps back, and stood in front of the cabinet without a trace.

"Your clothes are also dirty, let me wash them for you." Yuan Yue said, leaning down towards Xiao Zhu with no expression on his face, and grabbed Xiao Zhu's collar with one hand, as if he was looking at it, and like They were discussing, "Before I finish washing, I have to wrong you to not wear clothes for the time being. Do you think it's okay?"
