Ninth Symphony

Fifteen years ago, Du Nian was ten years old.

He still still remembers the day when he was adopted from the orphanage by Uncle Du—now he should be called Dad.

The impression was so deep that every time I recalled it, it was like yesterday.

That's right, Du Nian is an orphan.

As long as he can remember, he has been in an orphanage.

As for his own life experience, Du Nian didn't have the slightest clue to trace back.

The nurse in the courtyard told him that he was placed at the gate of the orphanage when he was about one year old, without any tokens on his body that could be used to recognize his relatives in the future. The old dean picked it up after seeing it.

Such a life experience may sound pitiful at first, but in fact, the life in the orphanage can be regarded as having no worries about food and clothing.

The orphanage itself has sufficient sources of funds and excellent facilities. From time to time, Du Nian will also receive daily necessities, books and stationery from someone anonymously, which is no less than that of ordinary people. The level that a child of both parents can have.

But precisely because of this, he was isolated in the orphanage by other children—no matter how big or small.

The nuns in the courtyard are indifferent to any child, they can’t talk about whether they like it or not, they just simply perform their due duties, three meals a day are enough, no cotton jackets are given in summer, and no shorts are given in winter. That's all.As for the mental health and moral development of the orphans, they are not within the scope of their concern, and the dean is a supernatural person, so the phenomenon of bullying and bullying among these children in private has intensified.

Du Nian was deeply hurt by it at the time, and he didn't know how many times he was almost beaten to death behind his back. It was really hard to imagine that children could be so cruel if they hadn't experienced it personally.Moreover, once children become cruel, what is more terrifying than adults is that they do not distinguish between the serious and the serious, do not distinguish right from wrong, and do not know what is enough to stop.

The most serious time was when Du Nian was six years old. He was pushed directly into a dry well in the backyard of the orphanage by a group of people. The well was at least ten meters deep. Bones were broken in several places, excruciatingly painful, and the gang of brats were still cursing and throwing stones down from the mouth of the well.

Fortunately, there weren't any big rocks for them to throw around. Enduring the pain, Du Nian rubbed his arms against the ground and pushed himself to the edge of the well wall, trying to avoid these "heavenly disasters" as much as possible, and waited in fear for them to finally throw them away. The attacks on him stopped, but before he left, he found a few discarded sacks and a pile of rotten tree leaves and pressed them with stones, crushing the whole thing. The mouth of the well was sealed tightly for him.

Now Du Nian is really "responsible every day, and the earth is not working". He is lying alone and helpless at the bottom of the dim well. Despair and fear grow rapidly as if he has life. I can't go out anymore, and I'm even ready to hand over this young life here.

But he was finally found, two days later.

Du Nian clearly remembered that after he was rescued, he was obviously hungry and thirsty, and his injuries were so painful that he almost fainted, but he didn't cry or make a fuss, just being carried to the ambulance. While getting into the car, his eyes calmly swept over the people who pushed him off one by one.

In dealing with the world, people often teach that you should "cannot afford to provoke and hide", and don't show off your abilities for a while.But when you can't even hide, it's too useless to bear it any longer.

Du Nian made up his mind at that moment, he wanted to become stronger and never let anyone bully him again.

The person who always sent him things anonymously once asked the dean to bring him a message, telling him to tell himself what he wanted, and to satisfy as much as possible.Du Nian had never spoken before, but this time, he asked the principal to convey his thoughts while he was recovering from his injuries. He wanted to learn kung fu, the kind that can beat people to the ground with one as ten.

The anonymous person responded quickly and agreed very simply.

Du Nian also thought that he would hire a master for himself, but he didn't expect that it was this anonymous person who came to teach him in person, and Du Nian finally met the person who sponsored him for several years.

A young man who looked about 30 years old, his face was like a knife, and his eyes were like a torch.He said his surname was Du and he was a policeman.

Maybe boys all went through such a stage when they were young, they would instinctively feel admiration and respect for people with identities like police officers and military officers, and Du Nian was the same.

If at the beginning he was only grateful to this Uncle Du whom he met for the first time, then after practicing the basic skills with him a few times and seeing a few demonstration moves of this person, he became completely obsessed The "obsessed brother" of my "idol" wishes to throw herself into the ground and learn all the skills of others. The thing I look forward to most every day is "Will Uncle Du come to teach me how to fight today?"

And after he started to learn, because of his high comprehension ability and his willingness to practice hard, his level improved rapidly. In less than two months, he was able to clean up the group of brats who tried to find fault with him without any effort.

Those with weak abilities and those with strong abilities may still be able to give it a go, but those who are incapable can only obediently admit defeat in front of capable ones.

Soon, the other children who were afraid of being beaten did not dare to provoke Du Nian again, and in this way, there was not even a single person willing to get close to him around Du Nian, and the whole person was like a "living insulator" all day long. Be alone, do what you want.

In fact, it's not that Du Nian never doubted the identity of that Uncle Du. Although he is young, he also understands the truth that "there is no free lunch in the world".If Uncle Du was not related to him, why would he take such good care of him?Simply closing the eyes does not make sense.

Could it be that he was one of the parents who abandoned him back then?

Du Nian really couldn't help asking this question once, who knew that Uncle Du was taken aback when he heard it, and then he smiled at him with a "how is that possible" and denied it, saying that he would not even get married. No knot, where did the child come from.

That is to say, Du Nian was too innocent at the time, and after hearing his explanation, he did not suspect him.If you let him be seven or eight years older, maybe you can figure out the truth that the less married you are, the more likely you are to lose your child.

But now Du Nian has definitely known that Du Zhiheng is not his biological father, of course this is a later story.

At least at that time, it was very lucky for Du Nian to have an elder who was willing to take care of and teach him by his side, not to mention that he also respected this elder very much. In the process, they gradually developed feelings, so four years later, when Du Zhiheng proposed to adopt him, Du Nian couldn't wait to agree as if he was afraid that it would be too late.

On the day he left the orphanage, Du Nian was both excited and apprehensive.

Excited is that I can finally leave here to see the outside world, but worried about whether I can adapt to the world that I have hardly set foot in before, and whether the people in that world will accept him.

With a restless heart, Du Nian got into Du Zhiheng's car and followed him to an unknown future.

In fact, even the name Du Nian was given to him by Du Zhiheng just a week ago.

Growing up in a place like an orphanage, the name is not an important thing, at most it can be used as a code name, cats and dogs, the boss, the second and the third, barking indiscriminately, as long as you can tell who is who.But now, he finally has a name that truly belongs to him, with a surname and a first name.

As the journey time increased, Du Nian became more and more nervous when he felt that he was getting closer to the intended destination.

After being quiet for most of the time, he still couldn't suppress the curiosity in his heart, and asked hesitantly: "Uncle Du——Dad..." He froze as soon as he opened his mouth.

Du Zhiheng tilted his head and smiled at him: "Don't rush to change the address. If you don't feel used to it, you can continue to call me 'Uncle'. It's still a long time, so take your time. What did you want to say just now?"

Du Nian nodded obediently: "Uncle, how many people are in your family? If I go...will it cause trouble for everyone..."

Over the years, Du Zhiheng seldom mentioned the situation in his own family. Now Du Nian asked cryptically, but he already understood what he meant.

"It's not troublesome at all," Du Zhiheng looked at Lu and said, "I have always been the only one in my family, and now that you are added, we can take care of each other."

Du Nian was a little relieved when he heard this.

"But we're not going home right now." Du Zhiheng suddenly added, seeing Du Nian's head raised instantly from the rearview mirror, his eyes staring at him a little nervously, he said in a rather relaxed tone : "I'll take you to another uncle's house first, he is my best friend, I want him to meet you first, and I have some things to talk to him by the way. But don't worry, he is a very easy-going person, And there is a pair of twin brothers in his family, who are only three years old, you can be their elder brother now."

Du Nian was still listening carefully, but at the last sentence, his scalp exploded instantly.

Three-year-old brother?Return two? ?Recalling the previous experience in the orphanage, Du Nian's mind was full of three words: bear child... bear child... bear child...

The frightening thing is that this time the status of the "bear kid" is not ordinary, he is the son of Uncle Du's best friend, he can't disagree with each other and beat up these two "little boys" just like the gang in the orphanage ...I feel tired just thinking about it.

But although Du Nian tried his best to cover it up, he is still very young. Du Zhiheng, who was driving, saw through his mind at a glance, and couldn't help joking with him: "Don't think so much, at least one of Uncle Xi's two sons You should like it, the brother who is only three years old is already very sensible, like a little adult."

Du Nian was startled: "...What about my brother?"

Du Zhiheng: "Brother, just a little more naughty..." Du Zhiheng seemed to feel that he was not very sure of his attitude when he said this, so he repeated with a heavier tone: "Yes, only a little naughtier than his brother!"

Du Nian: "..."

Before he met him, he had already begun to hope in his heart that he would not meet this "slightly" naughty twin brother.

The author has something to say:
