I surrender my foe with a kiss

Rainy night

boom--!

There was a heavy muffled sound, and the person behind him let go of his hand, Xiao Ci fell to the ground suddenly, staring at his eyes, coughing dryly as he clutched his throat.

When his vision became clear, he saw an astonishing scene: Cheng Huan was panting heavily, the hand holding half of the brick couldn't help shaking, and the broken edge of the brick was stained with blood.And at his feet, the person holding the hemp rope twisted into a ball while clutching the back of his neck.

Cheng Huan threw down the brick and rushed over, "Ci'er, are you okay!"

Almost as soon as the words were finished, a few men came out of the house and surrounded them aggressively: "Fuck, I brought a helper, don't let this little bastard get away, this guy has 20 yuan."

"Don't be afraid, ah, Ci'er, don't be afraid," Cheng Huan's voice trembled, he tightly held Xiao Ci's hand, helped Xiao Ci up, and put his arm on his shoulder.Then he looked around - just a second before the group of people pounced, Cheng Huan grabbed the kitchen knife on the chopping board and slashed desperately: "Don't come here! Don't come here! Who dares to take a step closer to me!" Take off his arm!"

Cheng Huan was really anxious this time, and the knife in his hand almost cut the faces of the group of people several times. Although it was mostly a bluff, when it really came to the end, the desperate aura erupting from him was still the same. Pretty bluffing.The group watched helplessly as Cheng Huan helped Xiao Ci go out little by little, but they couldn't get any closer.

Cheng Huan just supported Xiao Ci like that, confronted the group of people, moved step by step to the entrance of the mountain village, and ran with Xiao Ci with all his might.

How can you give up the fat in your mouth so easily?The group turned around and drove out to the village. The muddy jeep was quite sturdy on the dirt road in the mountain village, and it was about to overtake them in the blink of an eye.

Xiao Ci was severely strangled before, his brain was severely deprived of oxygen, and his body was heavy. He couldn't recover for a while, and he had to rely on Cheng Huan to drag him along.

He wanted to tell Cheng Huan that he couldn't run anymore and let Cheng Huan run, but when he turned his head slightly and caught a glimpse of Cheng Huan's anxious red eyes, he couldn't say a word.

They turned a narrow bend and a large tree temporarily blocked the jeep's view.Xiao Ci got his wits out of his wits, pointed to the steep slope half a step away, and said, "Huaner, let's... go down and hide."

Cheng Huan hesitated for a moment, then looked down.Below the steep slope is a bottomless valley, with dry grass as tall as a person.But that hesitation was only for a moment. Cheng Huan looked at Xiao Ci, sweating on the tip of his nose, and nodded heavily.

They dragged each other and carefully walked down the rocks all over the place.The chug of a jeep came from behind, Cheng Huan shuddered, his feet slipped, and he rolled into the valley screaming.

All this happened in an instant, before Xiao Ci had time to react, Cheng Huan took him down.The grass dust was flying, and the sky was spinning, Xiao Ci desperately used his arms to protect the boy's body, and pressed the boy's head tightly to his chest with one hand.Let your back, arms, and head bump and bounce against the sharp and protruding rocks.

After an unknown amount of time, the sound of wind blowing eardrums stopped, and they finally stopped rolling down.

Xiao Ci's eyes were open, but his body couldn't move at all, as if he was firmly attracted to the ground by a magnet.He blinked, and there were large groups of shadows in front of his eyes—his face was scratched during the rolling down, and the wet mud stuck to his face and eyelashes, making him unable to see clearly.

There was a heavy weight on his chest, he moved his bloody fingers slightly, still protecting the boy on his body.

Cheng Huan propped up his arms and got up from Xiao Ci.Coughing heavily, mixed with pathetic wheezing.

Seeing him looking at him, Xiao Ci clenched his teeth and began to cry.

Xiao Ci guessed that to make him cry like this, he must be seriously injured.

From the hillside above, there was the sound of footsteps and cursing and arguing.That guy was here.

Cheng Huan wiped off his tiredness with his arm, and with all his strength, he carried Xiao Ci, who was covered in blood, onto his back.His trousers had already been torn, and his exposed calf was trembling.With Xiao Ci on his back, he leaned over and looked for a place to hide.

Walking all the way, the blood dripped all the way behind him.

In the end, Cheng Huan placed Xiao Ci on the back of a big rock, surrounded by criss-crossed withered grass, which was quite concealed.However, the flat ground on the back of this boulder is very small, barely enough for two people to sit on.If you stretch your legs forward, your legs will hang in mid-air.

After a short period of numbness, every part of Xiao Ci's body screamed fiercely.With wounds all over his body, he could only sit so stiffly, like a rag doll that had been torn into pieces.

Cheng Huan leaned over and looked at him distressedly, "Ci'er..."

Xiao Ci reluctantly opened his eyes and found that although Cheng Huan had injuries on his body, his face was fair and clean, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

He raised his finger, wanting to touch his face: "My face...Can you still see it?"

Cheng Huan didn't dare to pinch his fingers, held his wrist, shook his head, and refused to let him touch it.

Xiao Ci sighed softly.

He is not a person who cares about his appearance, but the boy has a good face. After all, he is not very old, thinking that if his face is disfigured, in the future...how can he meet Jiang Chao?

In a blink of an eye, deeper sorrow flooded his heart, he thought of the appearance of the young man in the room when he fled in a hurry, and felt unspeakable pain in his heart.

He was about the same age as him, and he probably knew how difficult it was for him, so how could he lie to him like that?

For money?

For the sake of money, you can collude with those people, give him hope to crush him, rob him, and even almost strangle him to death?

Once his father committed suicide by throwing himself into the river, he was not without complaints when he was grieving.He felt that his father had liberated himself, but he and his mother were burdened with a deeper disaster.

Now, he understood his father a little bit.

He was so painful, so humble, and the desire he dreamed of day after day, was actually a sharp knife that pierced the bone and sucked the marrow from others.

It turns out that people can really eat people.

Xiao Ci grasped the ground with his fingers, his breathing trembling.

"Ci'er, what's wrong with you?" Cheng Huan said, "Does it hurt..."

"..." Xiao Ci withdrew from his thousands of thoughts and said, "Don't talk about this, by the way, why did you suddenly appear here?" He smiled firmly, "Just like Superman, save my little brother and me from the fire and water. middle."

Cheng Huan's thoughts are simple, and there are not so many twists and turns. In the past, such teasing should have been fun, but now it doesn't work at all, "I, I went to look for you this morning. When I saw you out of the house, I followed you to the house secretly." I got off the train and followed it all the way.”

"Okay, domestically produced 007." If he couldn't move at all, Xiao Ci thought he would slap him on the back hard.

"Xiao Ci, you don't have to do this. I know you feel uncomfortable," Cheng Huan looked at him with a strange look in his eyes, "I beg you, if you really can't help it, just cry A meal, or a bite, I, I don't mind."

Cheng Huan's voice became more and more low and gloomy, almost so tense that his breath trembled, "Ci'er, you told me before that your brother, is...is he lost?"

Xiao Ci's eyelashes drooped little by little, he took Cheng Huan's hand, and replied lightly, "Yes."

All said and done.

The cold wind swept in, the tall grass trembled desolately, in the wilderness, Cheng Huan pulled out his hands bit by bit, avoided Xiao Ci's gaze, buried his head between his knees, and made a difficult moan in his throat Voice: "Then I'll help you find him."

They hid behind the rock until the sun was setting. Cheng Huan had only slight scratches on his body, so he could move easily. He poked his head out and listened.In the valley, Lin Tao sang the crows, and after making sure he couldn't hear the voice of the group, Cheng Huan turned his head to look.

Xiao Ci was covered in wounds, his face and body were covered with blood and dirt, like an angel who had fallen into the mortal world and was covered in dust.He hunched over, maintained a difficult posture, closed his eyes, and seemed to be asleep.

At that moment, Cheng Huan had a strange idea in his heart. He stretched out his finger and probed under Xiao Ci's nose, and his heart fell to the ground.

Cheng Huan put Xiao Ci on his back again, stepped on the rock with one foot deep and one foot shallow.

It was only in the blink of an eye that the sun set, and the cloudy sky turned black in an instant, and the big raindrops fell on the two of them with the biting chill of winter.

Cheng Huan had no choice but to put Xiao Ci down again. Xiao Ci was already awake, but not fully awake, groggy, with his mouth slightly open but silent.Cheng Huan raised his hand and touched his head, it was terribly hot.

"Ci'er, don't sleep, stay fresh..." Cheng Huan stroked his dirty hair lightly, his heart pounding, "We're going home, we're going home."

"Hmm..." Xiao Ci's dry mouth moved, "Go home, go home..."

Cheng Huan took off his red down jacket and put it on Xiao Ci's back. He only wore a woolen sweater and carried him on his back.Pulling his wrist, said, "You are around my neck, I'm afraid I'll throw you off."

"Hmm..." Xiao Ci was angry, "I'll be obedient..."

"..."

With Xiao Ci on his back, Cheng Huan walked down the mountain along the dirt road in the rain.In the darkness, the high mountains crawling all around looked like giant beasts eating people. Amidst the sound of the rain, there were faint howls of wolves.Cheng Huan was soaked through, and his legs were so cold that he couldn't feel it.The smell of rain, rotten wood, soil, and blood penetrated into his body, slightly stimulating his almost numb brain.

"towards."

Xiao Ci suddenly called out.

The voice was so small that it was almost hidden in the heavy rain, but Cheng Huan suddenly woke up like an electric shock.

"..." He tried to reply, "Huh?"

There seemed to be a shake on his back, and he heard Xiao Ci say, "winter vacation, why are you ignoring me?"

"I..." Cheng Huan said, "I've always missed you..."

Xiao Ci chuckled, "It's a lie."

"..."

"Why are you so nice to me?" Xiao Ci asked again.

Cheng Huan's breathing was stagnant, his heart was pounding, and it took him a long time to reply: "Is it better than...Cheng Huan?"

"That's different," Xiao Ci said.

"What's different?" Cheng Huan asked.

"Huan'er is my brother," Xiao Ci said, "You..."

"What am I?" Cheng Huan asked.

"You, you are..." Xiao Ci fell silent while talking.

The world returns to silence.

That night Cheng Huan hid in the forest guard's wooden house with Xiao Ci on his back. There was no one in it, as if it had been abandoned for a long time, full of dusty smell.

Cheng Huan cleaned the wooden bed and put Xiao Ci on it lightly.His down jacket was already soaked and could not provide heat, covering Xiao Ci would only make him colder.Cheng Huan threw the down jacket aside, and took off Xiao Ci's clothes.

Xiao Ci snorted, didn't wake up, and let him play around.

The wound on Xiao Ci's body had scabbed over, and his flesh was almost glued to the innermost piece of clothing.The innermost clothes were also wet and had to be taken off.When Cheng Huan helped him take off that dress, his eyelids twitched with nervousness.Fortunately, Xiao Ci didn't cry out for pain, and he took off the clothes without too much effort.

Then, he saw Xiao Ci's scarred upper body.

Abrasions, scratches, cuts, bruises... one after another, one place, one place, bloody, tearing the young and fresh body of the boy with teeth and claws... The boy frowned, curled up slightly, and muttered vaguely.

Cheng Huan leaned closer and heard Xiao Ci say cold.

Cheng Huan himself was too cold to choke. He gasped and looked around the house shivering, trying to see if there was a lighter or matches that could light a fire for him.Unfortunately, in the end, nothing was found.

When Cheng Huan turned his head, Xiao Ci's lips were frozen blue, and his face was pale.

At that moment, Cheng Huan realized that Xiao Ci might freeze to death here.

He couldn't care about anything else, he lay down on the hard wooden bed, hugged Xiao Ci tightly, and used his body to keep the boy warm.

It was raining heavily outside the window, and lightning tore through the sky from time to time, Cheng Huan was extremely stiff all over, looking at the boy's sleeping face illuminated by the thunder.The heart thumped, thumping, driving the whole body, from the carotid artery, to the eyelids, to the fingertips, every place was beating so violently.

The hug on the body, the breath on the tip of the nose.The joy of youth, the dawn of the long night.

In his whole life, he went round and round, and never walked out of that night again.
