I surrender my foe with a kiss

In the early autumn of October, a typhoon made landfall in Guangzhou.

The weather was gloomy, the wind and rain were about to come, and the dark clouds were extremely low, cutting off the skyscrapers of Zhujiang New Town.

The usually bustling streets and alleys looked particularly deserted, and the rest of the pedestrians were all in a hurry.

The sky was like ink, it was terribly dark, and the doors of the shops along the street were closed early.This small shop deep in the village in the city is no exception.

Moths flapped against the chandelier, making a soft noise. A woman closed the door under the dim light. She tucked her messy hair behind her ears and sighed softly, feeling extremely worried about tomorrow's business.

"Dangdangdang", the rolling shutter door rang three times, the woman raised her head from the account book, looked at the yellowed rolling shutter door with doubts on her face, until the knock on the door sounded again, she was sure that she had heard correctly.

It's so late, who could it be?

Is it Azer?No... The woman shook her head in pain, she almost didn't dare to have any hope for that man anymore.

The rolling door was opened, and the stuffy water vapor poured in instantly. Through the dripping rain curtain of the eaves, the woman saw the boy in the torrential rain outside the door.

The white T-shirt was soaked by the rain, sticking to his body wetly, outlining the boy's thin outline and some traces of his waist.The long eyelashes are like a small brush, dotted with fine and dense water particles, trembling slightly.The boy was born extremely white, his milk-like delicate skin was slightly childish, so tender that water could be squeezed out.This is the most lovable appearance, but under the clear and bright eyebrows, there are a pair of misty eyes, cold and alienated, which makes people feel a little heart-suffocating at the first glance.

It can be seen but cannot be seen from afar.

The woman's face was astonished, she was stunned for a while, covered her mouth and murmured: "Xiaoci...God, are you Xiaoci?!"

The boy's appearance has become unrecognizable to her, taller and thinner, and the little baby fat on his face has disappeared without a trace.

The last time I saw him, he was still the little boy running barefoot in the mountains.At that time, when he saw her coming back, he waved to her with a smile and called her sister.He threw down the whip and ran towards her, stood on tiptoe, pinned a rain rose between her long black hair with his small hand.

"For you, sister." A silver bell-like laugh.

Now in the blink of an eye, he has grown so big...

"Come in, come in quickly," Xiao Yan quickly reached out to pull the wooden suitcase that was nearly half a person tall.The boy had already brought the big box in by himself, "Shen, thank you cousin."

The young man was drenched all over, his drooping hair splashed downwards, and stood at the door, refusing to go in.

Xiao Yan hurriedly bent down to put on the slippers for the boy, "You wear your brother-in-law's pair first, come in quickly, I'll boil hot water for you to take a bath, you come... sit on the sofa..."

Xiao Ci took a towel to dry himself before entering the room.

Xiao Yan's house is connected to the shop in front, narrow and cramped, with almost no windows, and if the lights are not turned on, it will be a black box.Fortunately, the house was tidy and tidy. There was a small pot of lilies on the coffee table, and the faint fragrance was exuded under the yellowish light, which added a bit of warmth to the home.

After a while, the bath water was ready, and Xiao Yan took two men's clothes, "Put on your brother-in-law's first, he's not at home, so don't be embarrassed."

"Bring clothes," Xiao Ci said, "Thank you sister."

When Xiao Ci came out of the shower and brushed his hair, there was a small pot and a bowl on the coffee table, steaming, Xiao Yan patted the sofa, smiled and waved to him: "Come here, eat while it's hot."

Xiao Ci nodded, hung the towel on the drying line, and sat on the sofa.

Xiao Yan picked out a large bowl of instant noodles for him, filled with two poached eggs and a piece of ham, which was delicious and fragrant.

Xiao Ci held the noodle bowl in the water, blew lightly through his pale mouth, the steam drifted away, and after taking a sip of the hot soup, his half-stiff body recovered a little.

While he was eating noodles, Xiao Yan kept looking at him, hesitated to speak several times, and finally said, "Xiaoci, I'm sorry... I couldn't go back to see off my uncles and aunts..."

"It's okay." Xiao Ci's eyelashes were slightly drawn, and the dim light illuminated half of his side face, a little silent, "It's all over."

"Then your brother..."

"I have to look for it," Xiao Ci said, "I've completed the admission procedures for high schools here. I'll inquire while I'm going to school. I'll search for junior high schools and vocational schools in Guangzhou first. If there aren't any, I'll look for the surrounding areas."

Xiao Yan nodded, feeling particularly uncomfortable, "That's fine, don't leave, stay here with my sister, she can still be your companion."

While talking, Xiao Ci had already finished eating the noodles, "I will move out as soon as I find a place to rent, so I won't cause trouble to my sister."

After that, I started to clean up the dishes.

"You rest, you rest." Xiao Yan hurriedly stopped him, rushing to tidy up by herself.

Alas, this child has been like this since he was a child, so sensible that it makes people feel distressed...

Xiao Yan was washing the bowls in the sink, took a breath, and let herself laugh, "Hey, you are only a little old, you are still a child, what trouble can you cause. Don't think about it, you must be exhausted on the road, go early Go to sleep."

Xiao Yan cleaned up the bed boards in the warehouse, added a quilt for Xiao Ci, brought a cup of warm water and put it on the shelf, and left the light on when she left.

Because of her experience since she was a child, this child is very afraid of the dark. She still knows a little bit about this.

"Good night," Xiao Yan said, and the door was gently closed.

"Good night," Xiao Ci said.

The surroundings became quiet little by little, and a little creaking sound could be heard vaguely, like a mouse grinding its teeth.There is a small window on the top of the wall, which is very dirty, and you can vaguely see the twisted and changing traces of the rainwater flowing down.The sound of wind, rain, and chill penetrated through the thick walls bit by bit.

Xiao Ci lay stiffly on the bed, counting from one to one hundred, then to two hundred, to three hundred... Even though the dozens of hours of jolting and sleeplessness on the train had made him exhausted, he still couldn't fall asleep.

Xu is getting closer to his father, as soon as Xiao Ci closes his eyes, the heavy rain in front of him will gather into a river, and his father's body will float up and down in the boundless river water, the river water is icy cold...

Ah... Xiao Ci sat up halfway, rubbing his hair irritably, it was already three o'clock in the middle of the night...

Just as he was hesitating whether to go to the toilet, he vaguely heard a little voice muffled through the door.

The man's voice said loudly: "What, what's going on in that house? Xiao Yan, tell me!"

The woman said: "Ah Ze, you are drunk, come sober up, sober up first..."

Suddenly there was a crisp sound, like the sound of a cup being smashed to the ground, and the man shouted desperately: "Damn it, Xiao Yan, stop prevaricating me! How dare you let a man sleep at home! You don't even know what you are!" Have you forgotten everything? Ah, bitch!"

"Aze!" The woman desperately lowered her voice, "What nonsense are you talking about? He is my younger brother, Aze, please keep your voice down, keep your voice down..."

"It's my younger brother, so I have to let him go. What's the matter, do you still want him to live in our house to eat and drink?! Xiao Yan, don't you fucking forget who rescued you back then, ah, You bloody whore!"

The man's unscrupulous abuse and venting, combined with the violent storm outside, slammed on the woman's fragile shoulders, leaving her extremely helpless, only trembling and choking so suppressed...

Like Xiao Ci, Xiao Yan came from a miserable background in the mountainous area of ​​northern Sichuan, and her family was severely patriarchal. She was sent to Dongguan to work before she graduated from junior high school.At a young age, she didn't understand anything, and was coaxed and tricked into being a young lady.If you want to run, but you can't, you will be honest after being treated a few times by the superiors.I stopped crying and making noise, and when I earned money, I obediently sent it home, and sent it to the Jiange deep in the mountains.

At that time, Aze was also a member of the southward migrant team, working in an assembly workshop in Dongguan.The two places are quite close to each other. During the break, Xiao Yan could see the employees of Aze and his factory lined up for dinner through the window on the third floor.At that time, Aze had yellow hair, was handsome and ruffian, and stood out in the crowd.

Once when Xiao Yan peeked at A Ze, A Ze looked up and happened to see her too.Xiao Yan was startled, and was about to run away, when she saw Aze whistling at her with a smirk, Xiao Yan blushed on the spot, her legs were so weak that she couldn't even walk.

Xiao Yan was so strictly controlled that she couldn't even get off the building, so A Ze went around to the back of their building and threw paper airplanes at her dormitory.When she received Aze's paper airplane, her heart was beating so hard that she opened the paper airplane while her roommate was away.It was actually written in small characters with a scented star pen, saying that he likes her, he wants to elope with her, and he wants to marry her back as his wife.

If she wanted to, she would go to the women's restroom on the third floor and lock the door to wait for him at twelve o'clock in the middle of the night.

Xiao Yan was dumbfounded, the sudden happiness made her think she was dreaming.The job she was engaged in made her almost give up her future. She just wanted to earn a little more money so that her family could live a better life. She didn't even dare to think about relationships. She just couldn't dream of it. In this life, there will be boys who will take the initiative to confess to her, don't dislike her, and even say that they want to marry her.

Gritting her teeth and making up her mind, Xiao Yan waited in the women's toilet on the third floor until twelve o'clock. When the moon was in the sky, there was silence everywhere. She thought the boy was teasing her, but she was so disappointed that she almost burst into tears.Unexpectedly, at this time, there was a sudden noise, and a stone came in through the window and hit the floor of the toilet.Xiao Yan was startled, and when she looked carefully, she found that there was a thick rope tied to the stone.Looking down from the window, I saw the boy standing downstairs, smiling and gesturing to her, telling her to tie the rope to a strong place.

She searched and searched, and finally tied the rope to a protruding iron rod. The rope hung from the toilet window on the third floor to the ground, and Aze let her slide down the rope.But the third floor is too high, she dare not.Ace scratched his head.Under the moonlight, she watched Aze grabbing the rope and gritted his teeth to climb up, from the first floor to the third floor, all the way to the women's toilet, then hugged her and slid her to the ground.

Aze's embrace brought her unprecedented warmth, her heart was beating wildly for him, she was so excited that she couldn't speak, in fact, she didn't need to, because he didn't give her a chance to speak, he lowered his head , tightly blocked her lips under the moonlight, and kissed her desperately.

It was the happiest moment of her life, and she felt like she was going to heaven.

Xiao Yan followed Aze to Guangzhou, and rented the shop in this urban village with the money she had worked for for a whole year before she had time to send it home. She sold some snacks, drinks and other small things. Do a little business.

She buys goods by herself, manages by herself, cooks and cleans by herself.Aze hadn't done any work since he was with her.Most of the time, when she earns money on the front foot, Aze will take her to play games in Internet cafes on the back foot.But she never said a word about Aze, that was her man, she was full of joy before it was too late, how could she be willing to complain?

She only blamed herself for being incapable and not earning enough money, so she started to work harder, buying goods from dawn to dusk, and worked hard for half a year.Finally, on Aze's birthday, she gritted her teeth and bought Aze a high-end gaming laptop. Aze's eyes lit up when he saw the laptop. Seeing Aze happy, she felt like eating Like honey.

That night, they were lingering and attached, and Aze said that he really saw the right person at the beginning, he said she was so virtuous, and he wanted to marry her as his wife.

About marrying her, Aze hadn't mentioned it since he rescued her. Hearing his promise once again, she was so happy that she burst into tears.

They got married.

On the day she went to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get the certificate, she was so happy that she put on a long skirt that she would never want to wear, and swayed from side to side in front of the mirror.Aze, who was sitting by the bed, looked discouraged.She was a little worried, and asked Aze what happened?Aze didn't speak, just shook his head, even dawdling, making excuses several times to shirk.

But they finally got the marriage certificate, under her repeated begging.

She worked hard and asked for nothing to marry him who had nothing.

A big stone in her heart fell to the ground.

I thought that marriage was the beginning of happiness, but whoever thought it was, it was just the opposite.

A long, endless, abyss-like nightmare slowly kicked off.

After getting married, Aze not only didn't stop, but even worsened. He took more and more money from her and stayed out all night.That almost brand new gaming laptop is at home, but Aze refuses to even look at it.

She started to worry, and started to think wildly; she started to worry, and started to cry in a panic, if she couldn't keep him with what he liked, what else could she do?She started calling him, texting him, asking where he was.

What greeted her was his questioning. He questioned that she didn't trust him, and hung up the phone several times angrily.

She made up her mind to have a good talk with him, but was interrupted by him face to face, and angrily slammed the door out.

Until that night, Aze came home drunk, smelled of alcohol, his shirt cuffs were ripped open, and a few balls of powder were printed on his neck. He threw himself on the bed, hugged her and called other women's names.

A thunder exploded on the flat ground, and her whole world collapsed.She dragged Aze to collapse and cried, asking him what happened.

What greeted her was punches and kicks.

"Damn, what happened to me going out to find a woman?! Don't you think about how many men you have had? Why did I marry such a cheap guy like you? It's so fucking hot!"

That night, she ran away from home, hugged her knees and cried all night by the cold Pearl River.

At dawn, Aze came to find him. This man was in an unprecedented embarrassment, with red eyes. He hugged her from behind, took a breath and apologized to her, saying that he was wrong and that he would never go out to fool around again. He begged her to forgive him.

As soon as the man's aggrieved voice came out, her heart suddenly softened.She remembered how he looked when he rescued her from hell that night, like Prince Charming who descended from the sky and rescued her from the sea of ​​suffering, gentle, handsome, brave and astute... She also hugged him tightly and curled up in his arms Weeping like a child.His big hands caressed her back one after another, and the man's warm embrace made her very attached to her. How much she wanted to stay forever, but she felt uneasy and fearful like never before.

Then it stopped for a few days, and then it didn't work again.

He began to blame her in a strange way, saying that she couldn't give him what he wanted, and she asked him what it was, but he was vague and refused to say it clearly.

He always beat her intentionally or unintentionally, mocking her.He always thinks she's not good enough, that's not good enough, every little thing will become a reason for him to lose his temper.

Under the mental pressure and torture day after day, Xiao Yan gradually fell into deep self-doubt, and even started searching the Internet for the cost of hymen repair surgery.

Aze started to stay out at night again, taking a lot of money from her, and punching and kicking her if he said something wrong.She was powerless to dissuade her, and sometimes even felt that all this might be her retribution.She failed to leave her best side to him, so why should she demand so much from him?

She couldn't sleep all night long, and she cried until dawn when looking at the group photos they took while traveling; she stopped when she started working, and there was an empty dead silence in her heart, so depressed that she couldn't breathe; she started to grow white hair, One after another, she is only in her early 20s, and she has almost no expectations for the rest of her long life...

……

The man in front of him stared at his blood-red eyes, furiously: "Go, you go now, wake him up, let him go, go now!"

Xiao Yan tugged at the corner of his clothes and begged, "Aze, I beg you, I beg you, okay? This kid has no parents since he was 15 years old, and it's raining so hard outside. He can still go after I drive him out." Where, Ze, I beg you..."

"He is dead and his family has nothing to do with me!" the man yelled, "Xiao Yan, let me ask you one last fucking question, will you let him go?!"

"Tomorrow, tomorrow..." Xiao Yan's tears couldn't stop flowing, "When the rain stops tomorrow, I'll go out and find a place for that child, okay..."

She was roughly interrupted by the man in the middle of her speech. The man grabbed her hair with his big hands and forcefully dragged her from the bed to the ground. He was furious, and his fists were about to rain down: "You, he Mom still wants to rent a house for him? You're a bitch, you bitch, it seems like you really don't know who you are if you don't beat me!"

The black fist fell in sight, Xiao Yan covered her eyes in fright and screamed.

To her surprise, the expected pain and torture did not come for a long time. She moved her hands away hesitantly, and saw the man's purple face.

Xiao Ci didn't know when he pushed the door open and came in. He grabbed the man's wrist, twisted the man's arm behind him bit by bit, and pinned it tightly.The man's eyes widened, he was ashamed and angry, he was in pain and wanted to struggle, but he was forced to be immobilized by the boy in front of him who looked like he hadn't even lost his breast milk.

But the boy just used one hand, and his face was so calm that there were no waves.

Slowly raising her eyes, under the slender eyelashes, a pair of eyes are as cold as knives, piercing people's hearts.

"Xiaoci..." Xiao Yan's long hair was disheveled and her pupils trembled slightly as she fell on the ground.

Xiao Ci let go of the man, with great strength, he forcefully made the man take a few steps back, almost tripping over the bed, quite embarrassed.

Xiao Ci stared at the man coldly, and quietly protected the woman behind him.Although the man was drunk, he noticed the boy's small movements for the first time, rubbed his pinched arm and taunted him: "Yo, Xiao Yan, you really know how to protect you, Xiao Yan! " He raised his chin at the boy, grinning wickedly, "Boy, do you know what this beautiful and gentle sister in your eyes used to do?"

Xiao Yan's pupils constricted, and she almost let out a scream of fear from her throat, "Don't!!!"

But this fear made the man so excited that he trembled all over, he said, "Boy, listen carefully, your sister is a—" Before the word "prostitute" could be uttered, the boy's clenched fist hit her face. Come, with outraged anger, that fist is actually harder than steel.Xiao Ci knocked the man to the ground with one punch, then grabbed his collar and slammed him against the wall. Under the woman's astonished gaze and the man's scalp-numbing fear, he said in a low voice: "Say it again."

"What, what?"

"I'm fucking telling you to say it again!"

His face was swollen from a punch, and the man was so guilty that his legs trembled, but he still refused to give in. To be hanged and beaten by a boy who was half his head shorter than him, to any man, it was nothing less than a great humiliation!

"You, what are you going to do?" He bit the bullet and said, "I, I beat my wife, what does it have to do with you? You, you... bastard!"

Almost as soon as he spoke, he regretted it completely, because in his opinion, this white boy who should have no fighting power actually used only one hand to pinch his neck and crush his whole body. People raised it!

And the boy's hand was still exerting force, sinking in bit by bit, his fingers convulsed like eagle claws, almost choking that neck to pieces!

The man's feet were hanging in the air, he couldn't breathe, and his face quickly turned into a liver color.He desperately wanted to breathe, but he could only make a hooting sound from his throat. His big hands were desperately trying to break, pinch, and scratch the boy's hand, but he still couldn't break free at all.

The terrifying silence, every second is a suffocating torment.

And the boy said flatly, "Continue."

There was a crackling sound in the man's throat, which was also on the premise that the boy let go of his hand a little: "What, what?"

"Repeat exactly what you just scolded my sister."

Where would Azer dare? !Even with a hundred guts, he wouldn't dare to break ground on this living Yama. He said in pain, "Yes, it's me, it's my fault, I shouldn't scold you, I shouldn't scold your sister, and I shouldn't Hit her. I want, I want to change my mind and treat her well..."

"Then what are you?" The boy tilted his head and looked at him.

"I, I...I'm not a thing at all!!!"

Xiao Ci looked at Xiao Yan who was at the side, and Xiao Yan recovered from the panic, and looked at him with pleading eyes.

Only then did Xiao Ci let go, and the man fell to the ground with a bang like a skeleton, and knelt down on the spot, clutching his throat and coughing desperately.

And the young man's indifferent voice sounded from above, making his scalp numb for a moment: "Remember what you said today, if you dare to do it next time, it won't be as simple as getting a beating."

Not only being beaten, but also... He didn't even dare to think about it.

Xiao Ci went back to the warehouse to pack his luggage, Xiao Yan stumbled towards him, leaned against the door frame, and looked at him panting.

As soon as Xiao Ci raised his head, he saw Xiao Yan's red eyes. He was hesitating whether he had frightened her just now, or whether he should comfort her, when Xiao Yan came over and grabbed his hand.

That white and tender hand was covered with red marks from scratches by the struggling man, and even the skin was scratched in some places, bleeding out little by little.

"Does it hurt?" Xiao Yan's eyes were clouded with tears.

"..." Xiao Ci's exhausted nerves slowly conveyed a little pain.

"Let's go," Xiao Ci seldom said, and he was overwhelmed by the sudden concern of others. He closed the big wooden box and said softly.

"Let's go now?" Xiao Yan subconsciously grabbed her brother's snakeskin bag, but when her brother turned around, she couldn't say a word.

"Sister," the young boy called her elder sister again, with gentle eyes: "I will work hard to earn money in Guangzhou, and when I have a place to live, as long as you are willing, I will take you over, and you don't have to suffer from other people's idleness." .”

He originally wanted to ask his sister if she would like to get a divorce, but when he saw the reluctance and reluctance in her pupils, he already had the answer.

"Before that, please..." The boy's Adam's apple rolled up and down, his voice trembling slightly, "Please take good care of yourself, if that scum dares to beat you and scold you again, just tell me."

"Don't worry, with me here, no one can bully you."

Xiao Yan had a sore nose, and tears fell down.

Even her parents never told her such words.

As a child himself, he had learned to... protect others...

"I really have to go this time," Xiao Ci said, turning his face away.Xiao Yan came after him again, unzipped his snakeskin bag, and put an umbrella inside.

"Bring this," Xiao Yan said.

Xiao Ci nodded, and Xiao Yan sent him to the door, watching the young man's thin figure disappear into the rainy night, tears streaming down his face again.
