Double ten

The basketball court of University H, the weather is cold, the night is very thick, the campus that has already had winter vacation is very quiet, a boy is sitting there alone, his face is not very clear under the night, the vague outline can be seen that the man looks outstanding, he A somewhat worn blue ball lay quietly at his feet.

[On the way to class] "Have you heard that a boy in our class killed someone? I really can't see it. It's unbelievable that such a gentle and elegant person would do such a thing."

"I heard that you are really famous in your class. Who in the whole school doesn't know!"

"Yes, the head teacher and the head of the department are really angry, and their faces are blue..."

"..."

[Beside the court] "Xiaofeng, why have you been sitting here and playing?"

"I...I won't fight."

"Huh? Can't fight? Then, let me teach you."

"No, I have to go to class."

"College time is more free, not as tiring as high school, as long as you arrange your time reasonably, there will be no delay in both studies and play."

"..."

"Well, from now on, come to the stadium at seven o'clock every night, and I will teach you how to play."

"But... can you?"

"Of course, I'll wait for you, remember to come!"

"...Okay, National Day, wait for the National Day to go back to school."

The boy thought back to the discussion he heard from other students on the road a few months ago and the conversation he had with that person. He didn't believe it. How could such a person kill someone? Even if he did, he must have his reasons. He always believed He, he believed he would appear, would appear before him again.

It had been several months, and he still hadn't shown up, and the rumors at the school had gradually subsided, and he hadn't even heard anything about him, but it didn't matter, he would wait, wait forever.

……

How many things can you do in 12 years of endless prison life?You can finish your studies, you can work for many years, and you can do many things you want to do, but Mu Feng spends the most precious youth, the most precious 12 years, in prison.

He thought back, if time went back to that moment, would he still be wielding the scalpel? The answer would still be yes. At that time, the pain of losing his mother completely blinded his eyes. At that moment, his heart wanted that man to go to hell. Yes, never die!

Time is a ruthless knife, it is true.

"Number HD1010, because of your good performance, I decided to release you from prison early after the discussion above. I hope you will live a good life in the future and be a person who contributes to society...you can go home today." Recalling the instructor's words in my mind, I stood Outside the detention center, Mu Feng still can't believe that he is free.

Yes, free.

He stretched out his hand and felt the long-lost sunshine and the gentle breeze blowing by. The sunshine and the wind told him clearly that he was free, free.

"Xiaofeng!" A familiar yet unfamiliar voice sounded. How long had it been since he heard someone call him Xiaofeng? How long had it been since he heard his father's voice.

"Dad." Mu Feng dashed over, and hugged his father fiercely in just 12 years, from a slightly fat middle-aged man to a frail father who is now as old as 80 or [-] years old.

"Okay, okay, today is your mother's death day, and it's just in time to come back." Mu's father choked up, patted his son's slightly wider back with trembling hands: 12 years, 12 years, my son finally came out, lost weight and taller, also I am strong, myself, and I no longer have to worry about eating and falling asleep all day long.

Mu Feng accompanied his father to buy some daily necessities, and returned to the home where he had lived for six years. This was the house that Mu's father and Mu's mother had been renting in the county for his studies. Things are different.

"I received a call from the police station saying that you were released from prison a few months early. I still didn't believe it. I finally believed it when I saw you." Papa Mu said with a smile while rolling the dough. I don’t know when I have lost weight, and there are many more wrinkles, but the smile remains unchanged, “You and your mother love dumplings most, your mother likes fish stuffing, and you like pork stuffing. You have to do two things... Your mother must be very happy to see you coming back, let's go back to my hometown tomorrow and burn incense for your mother..."

Father Mu happily told, counting one by one, Mu Feng nodded slightly, and answered one by one, the time when the once warm family made dumplings can never go back.

After eating a warm dinner, Mu Feng watched TV with his father, as if he had returned to the past, but still, something was missing.

After watching TV for a long time, after washing away his exhaustion and 14 years of bad luck, Dad Mu urged him to go to rest quickly, "Hurry up and go to sleep, I will get up early and go back to my hometown tomorrow."

"Then go to bed early too!" Mu Feng looked at him.

Mu's father waved his hand: "Okay, I'm happy today, I'll watch TV for a while." What was playing on the TV was "My Brother's Name is Shun Liu" starring a certain famous star, a series that Mu's mother used to like to watch very much.

Resisting the soreness in his heart, Mu Feng pushed open the door of his room, and the moment he closed the door, he took another look at his father who was sitting in front of the TV watching the drama, his heart skipped a beat, and he shook his head to sweep away With a strange feeling in my heart, I closed the door, walked to the bed that Mu's father had already made and sat down, picked up the family portrait on the bed cabinet and looked at it for a long time, until I couldn't help feeling sleepy, I fell asleep.
