Fly away the pain

Ying Zhi stood at the bottom of the steps and said to me, "Shall we play together?"

I said: "OK."

He took me through fields in the afternoon, past ponds.Someone was grazing cows on the hillside. One cow was big and the other was small. The calf looked up at us and slowly chewed the grass.

The air also smells nice, a little dry hay.

It was a little hot to walk, and I asked, "How far is that place we are going?"

Yingzhi said, "Hurry up, we'll be there soon."

We continued to walk forward, slowly, the sun was setting, and it was getting dark. Grandma was still waiting for me to go back for dinner, so I said, "Yingzhi, let's go back, it's time for dinner."

I don't know whose house's cooking smoke is already floating in the distance. I am tired and thirsty, and I just want to go home.

But Yingzhi still pulled me and kept walking.

Finally I couldn't bear it any longer, I shook his hand away and shouted, "I don't want to leave anymore!"

Yingzhi looked back at me, his face suddenly changed into that of that vixen, with a mole on his forehead, his eyes looked at me contemptuously, his lips were blood red.

I turned around and ran, but an abyss appeared behind me. I stood on the edge of the cliff and fell down without stepping...

I opened my eyes, and it was pitch black.

I rubbed my eyes to make sure I was open, am I blind?

"You're awake."

A voice whispered in my ear, and the lights in the room came on.I just found out that I was still in the home where the waste was collected. He was lying unconscious next to him, and the kid stayed next to the two of us, with no expression on his face and no emotion.

The back of my neck still hurts. When the beer bottle went down, I dodged subconsciously, but was still hit.

"What happened to him?" I asked the kid.

"It's okay, just fell asleep."

"What did you do?"

He nodded: "He's a bad guy."

The little ghost said that the waste collector locked up a crazy woman at home.

The year before last, a crazy woman who didn't know where she came from wandered into the village. She had mental problems and couldn't speak clearly.I don't know what happened later, but I was actually locked up by this person and treated as a scorpion.

I asked, "Why do you know so clearly?"

The little ghost circled me lightly and said, "Because I'm a ghost, I'm not on the same road as you."

These words sound very familiar.

I took out the key from the man lying on the ground and opened the door. The air in the room was very turbid and pitch black.A shadow crouched and hid in a corner, and when I moved a little further, she screamed.I had no choice but to back away and close the door. This requires professional medical staff to deal with it. It is not good to do anything without authorization, and it would be bad if it irritated her.

After calling my colleagues in the bureau, I turned around and asked the kid, "Why didn't you follow me? What happened after that night?"

The little ghost smiled, and there seemed to be a little vitality on his pale face: "Ah, ah, didn't you want to drive me away a long time ago?"

He circled around me again. Is it a ghost's hobby to circle around?

"Is that you, Yingzhi?"

The kid's restless movement of turning around suddenly stopped, staring at me sullenly: "You still remember this name."

There was a siren sound outside the house, which gradually increased, and the kid disappeared into the house.Except for the tungsten light bulb above the head being shaken slightly by the wind, there was no movement.

When I returned to Nantian recently, it was raining non-stop, and there were no major cases in the police station. It is estimated that the criminals also fell into spring sleepiness.

Several policemen on duty arrested some cult members. At night, I accompanied a trainee policeman to watch the two masters practice.The two of them sat cross-legged on the ground in a serious manner, still muttering words.

The trainee policeman asked me: "Captain, have you broken up recently?"

I said, "What gave you this illusion."

The master on the left doesn't seem to remember the moves.

"The way you don't think about food and tea recently is exactly the same as when I broke up with my girlfriend back then. It's okay. You can definitely find a better one based on your conditions." He said earnestly.

I can't be bothered to talk to him.

When I returned to the office, I saw Xiao Zhang was playing with his mobile phone, giggling "hehehe" while playing.I patted the back of his head: "Very free?"

Xiao Zhang said: "Captain, it's hard for me to find a girlfriend..."

"So you can be lazy? After the document is finished, go and sort out the files." The branch office is not manned and there are not many cases, but there are so many files.

Xiao Zhang looked sad and indignant: "Captain, how can you do this! You can't let everyone follow you as a single dog if you are broken in love!"

So in the end, what gave everyone the illusion that I was broken in love?Even the wife of our downstairs janitor wants to give me a blind date.

After get off work, I went to eat supper with Xiao Zhang.This kid can eat better than me. After eating a bowl of noodles, he ordered two baskets of steamed buns.

"Then why are you so miserable recently?" Xiao Zhang asked me.

do i have it

"It's just that I'm a little depressed, and I'm not broken in love." Recalling my recent behavior, I said.

Xiao Zhang glanced at me and said, "Then you haven't been in love, have you? I didn't say that, Captain, you are over 30, and it's time to find a wife."

I didn't speak, and picked out the coriander in the bowl.

After a while, Xiao Zhang suddenly said: "Captain, you don't know how old you are and haven't dated yet!"

"What is this age? You really can talk," I added, "Of course I have been in love."

Of course I was in love.

In my 35 years of life.

During the summer vacation when I was 12 years old, my father had a showdown with my mother about the affair, and the two of them went to court. My mother had no time to take care of me and had to send me back to her natal family.There I met Zhou Yingzhi for the first time.

Zhou Yingzhi was about my age back then, but he looked a few years younger than me, thin and short, like a little monkey.

The little monkey said to me: "Why are you so tall? You look like a stupid bear."

"..." I haven't despised you for being short yet.

Grandma let this little monkey play with me, and he took me to the edge of the reservoir to watch the fish.He told me that where the bubbles are bubbling, there are fish.

After a while, he found a simple fishing rod made of bamboo from nowhere and started fishing with a bundle of grass as bait.

I asked, "Can you catch fish with grass?"

He said: "If you don't use grass, can you still use meat?"

The stone supported the fishing rod, so he found a shady place to hide. It seemed that the little monkey was very afraid of heat.

I said, "My name is Tang City, Tang in the Tang Dynasty, a city with walls, what about you?"

"Zhou Yingzhi, Zhou... is the Zhou whose surname is Zhou, Ying... is..." After holding back for a long time, he didn't say which "Ying" it was, and pointed to the water, "The fish is hooked!"

I stayed in the country for two months, and Zhou Yingzhi and Zhou Yingzhi became good friends who wear a pair of pants.After returning to the city, my mother decided to go south to work, and I went to a coastal city with her to become a child of migrant workers.However, within two years, handicraft factories went bankrupt on a large scale, and my mother lost her job again, so I had no choice but to follow her back to my hometown.

At that time, I happened to be going to high school. According to our family’s conditions, I couldn’t go to the best Qiming high school. My mother had to send me to a poor rural high school. Fortunately, it was a public high school with reduced tuition.

Zhou Yingzhi said that he recognized me on the first day of school, I don't believe it.Although I'm still the same model, but at least I've grown, not like his milky face, he's still a child.

On the first night at school, Zhou Yingzhi quietly crawled into my bed from the bunk opposite him.In the middle of the night, his eyes shone like cats, reflecting the street lights outside the window, and he whispered to me: "Tang Cheng, you also recognized me, right?"

I covered him with my own quilt and he curled up beside me like a kitten.Well, the little monkey is still a little monkey, why does it feel like it hasn't grown much in so many years?

Yingzhi is very bad at mathematics, and the high school questions are sorted by difficulty level. He is the kind who chooses to fill in the blanks and scribbles on the first big question.During the lunch break, I stayed in the classroom and taught him how to do the questions, but he usually started to yell that he couldn’t do it when he couldn’t stand the questions, and sometimes he pretended not to do it when he knew it.

At the beginning, I was not used to the way of school work and rest.Because I have never had morning and evening self-study, and I don't like to do my own laundry every day, Yingzhi sometimes helps me wash my clothes after taking a shower.As a reward, I wake him up every day, who has trouble getting up. Sometimes the winter morning is very cold, and he really doesn't want to get up, so I have to help him make up excuses to ask for leave.

Because the breakfast bought early in the morning would be cold when he arrived in the classroom, I specially bought him an insulated box. Although the effect is mediocre, at least it can ensure that what he eats every day is hot.On weekends, my mother would send me a meal in order to improve my food. Many parents do this, but I have never met Yingzhi's family.

I only met his grandma when I was a child, and never met other relatives, and he never mentioned it, so I asked my mother to send two meals, one for me and one for Yingzhi.

We played basketball together in physical education class. Zhou Yingzhi, a small guy, not only couldn’t grab the ball, but was also easily blocked, so no one would pass it to him. I passed the ball, and we had to switch to the soccer team as a tough duo.

Once there was a vacation, I forgot what kind of vacation it was, and when we returned to school, there were only Yingzhi and me in the dormitory.When I came in with my luggage, Yingzhi was sleeping on his bed. I wondered what he was sleeping in the afternoon, so I climbed onto his bed to see him, but this little boy hugged me.

He said, "Tang City!"

I said, "How do you know it's me, what if it's not."

He closed his eyes and laughed, and said, "I knew it was you when I smelled it, and I knew it was you when you turned into ashes!" He leaned forward and kissed me.

I froze all over and felt the blood rushing backwards to the top of my head.

He also seemed to realize what he had just done, and he didn't dare to move my hand.After a while, I slowly opened my eyes, looked at me with a guilty conscience, and apologized in a low voice: "I didn't mean to..."

I bowed my head and kissed his forehead and said, "Do you think I don't know about you secretly kissing me in my bed in the middle of the night?"

Yes, I already knew Zhou Yingzhi, a silly boy, liked me.

Because when he was in my arms, I could hear his heartbeat in the silent night, and I was afraid that his little heart would pop out of his chest.Obviously I was afraid of the cold in winter, so I quietly washed the clothes I changed; I didn’t like playing basketball, so I ran around with a group of tall guys; The girl in the next class who wanted to confess to me was waiting outside the door.

Such Yingzhi died in the summer of his sophomore year in high school.
