you crushed my wings

Congratulations was brushing his teeth in the yard, when he heard Ji Xinghu shouting, he ran out to watch the fun.

With toothpaste foam in his mouth, he asked inarticulately, "What's the matter, Xing'er? What are you shouting about so early in the morning?"

Ji Xinghu stood anxiously at the gate, with disheveled hair, wearing a sports vest and big underpants, stepping on a board, and holding a bag of deep-fried fried dough sticks in his hand. Call.

"My bicycle is gone!" Ji Xinghu said, "Did you see anyone riding it?"

"No." Congratulations shook his head, cheating Fa Xiaoer out of conscience, "I went on a date yesterday, and when I came back late, all the dogs in the alley were asleep. Who am I going to see? Have you locked it?"

"No," Jixinghu said with a sad face, "won't it be stolen?"

"I think eight to nine is close to ten," Congratulations spit out the toothpaste and said solemnly, "Our alley has not been very peaceful recently. A few days ago, Aunt Xu's house was burglarized and the police were called. , Serving tea and pouring water is a busy work, I reckon it's all useless, people don't bother to take care of such trivial matters, just fool you with a few words and you're done."

While talking, Luan Shu and Cheng Xueli stepped out.

"What happened?" Luan Shu asked.

Ji Xinghu's brows drooped, and he said in a low voice, "Xiao Shu, I'm sorry."

Luan Shu asked, "Why do you say I'm sorry?"

Congratulations chimed in: "The bicycle you gave him last year was lost, probably it was stolen."

Cheng Xueli said: "Didn't you still ride the one yesterday? Why did you lose it today?"

Congratulations glanced at Luan Shu and said, "Who knows."

Luan Shu raised his hand and rubbed Ji Xinghu's hair: "If you lose it, just throw it away, it's not worth much."

Ji Xinghu looked up and blinked at him: "You don't blame me?"

"The car was stolen by a thief, why blame you?" Luan Shu said, "Don't smear the ink, I'm waiting for your fried dough sticks to be served."

Luan Shu dragged Ji Xinghu into the yard, Cheng Xueli walked up to Congratulations, and said in a low voice, "Xinghu's birthday will be in a few days, why don't we join in and buy him a new car?"

Congratulations hooked Cheng Xueli's neck, standing or not, looking foolish.

"I'm not afraid of your jokes. My buddy's pocket is cleaner than his face now, and he has fallen to the point of eating soft food. For Xing'er's birthday present, Meng Xing and I will just give a share. If you want to make up for it, go to Luan Shu , Ah, don’t look for me.”

Congratulations patted his butt and left, Cheng Xueli went back to the opposite door with a worried face, and saw old man Luan walking from the direction of the alley with a birdcage in his hand, and stopped at the gate to say hello: "Grandpa, are you going for a bird walk so early?"

Luan Shaoqing said: "I'll walk myself, and walk it by the way."

There is a mynah in the cage, the whole body is black and shiny, only the beak is yellow, and a pair of mung bean-sized round eyes are dancing around, jumping up and down in the cage, it looks energetic, but it doesn’t cry .

"Since you bought it, this mynah hasn't opened its voice, has it?" Cheng Xueli said, "Grandpa, you won't be deceived, right?"

Luan Shaoqing patted the back of Cheng Xueli's head, and said as he walked into the courtyard: "Little brat, don't talk nonsense if you don't understand, I'll let it sing you a piece of Beijing opera tomorrow, do you believe it?"

"I don't believe it," Cheng Xueli followed the old man in, "Grandpa, why do you sound so braised? Grandma won't let you eat..."

"Hush!" Luan Shaoqing blew his beard and stared, "You have no eyesight, don't mess with me, go and go, do what you should do."

Cheng Xueli made a face and went home to have breakfast.

Luan Shaoqing stood at the root of the gable wall, covered his mouth with his hand, sniffed it in a breath, and muttered softly: "Hey, this kid belongs to a dog, he has a really good nose."

Luan Shaoqing walked into the yard as if nothing had happened, and hung the birdcage under the grape arbor, before he entered the house, his wife Feng Changfang had already started to scold him: "I said, why are you going out for a stroll so early in the morning, you? There are a lot of people in the rush hour in the morning. Aren’t you a messy old man adding to the traffic jam? Is it so difficult to stay at home? Wash your hands and eat!”

Luan Shaoqing had a ghost in his heart, so he didn't dare to talk back, so he went to wash his hands in a hurry, and when he came back, he sat down at the dining table peacefully and picked up chopsticks to eat.

"Dad, my mother is right," Luan Shu's father Luan Yushan said, "There are too many cars in the morning, so it's really not safe for you to go out alone. If you want to walk the birds, you can go out after breakfast without delay."

Luan Shaoqing nodded without saying a word.

Ji Xinghu took the opportunity to play tricks: "Grandpa, you can call me, I am very willing to accompany you for a walk."

Luan Yushan said: "School starts tomorrow, so you can accompany me wherever you want."

Ji Xinghu immediately put on a sad face: "I forgot about this, alas, it would be great if the summer vacation never ends."

Luan Shu put a deep-fried dough stick into his bowl: "Eat it quickly, and leave quickly after eating."

Ji Xinghu asked: "Where are you going?"

"Go to the hospital for dental work." Luan Shu glanced at him helplessly, "I told you yesterday."

Ji Xinghu smirked with half a fried dough stick in his mouth: "I forgot to sleep."

Luan Yushan shook his head and sighed: "The whole thing is just a little confused."

Luan Shu said, "Mom, give me some money."

He Ling said: "Wait until the meal is finished."

Feng Changfang said, "How much do you want? Grandma."

He Ling hurriedly said: "Mom, you keep your money for yourself, and you don't care about the children's expenses."

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law began to talk about money, the father and son took care of their own meals, and the two younger ones whispered small words to each other. After a lively breakfast, they went back to their respective houses and were busy with their own tasks.

After Luan Shu changed his clothes and shoes, he went to his parents' house to get money.

He Ling took out 500 yuan from his wallet to give him, glanced out of the window, and said in a low voice: "It's only a few days away from Xing'er's birthday, do you think there is anything abnormal about his mood?"

Luan Shu stuffed the money into his trousers pocket, shook his head: "No, he's fine."

Luan Yushan spoke from the side: "Don't worry about it, it's been ten years, and the child must have been put down long ago."

He Ling sighed, and said: "Don't look at Xing'er who is heartless and cheerful all day long, but actually has a delicate mind. He just doesn't want us to worry, so he doesn't say anything or ask anything. My child, it hurts to be sensible."

As he spoke, tears welled up in He Ling's eyes, and his voice became a little choked up.

"Look at you," Luan Yushan scolded, "You have to call out the child even if he's fine, so stop him quickly."

He Ling wiped his eyes and said to Luan Shu: "You should pay more attention to Xing'er these few days, ah."

Luan Shu nodded: "Understood."

Luan Shu came out of the main room with the key of the small e-donkey, and saw Ji Xinghu and Cheng Xueli standing under the grape arbor and whispering, Cheng Xueli saw Luan Shu first, he hurriedly said something to Ji Xinghu, turned his head and went back to the house.

These two people are obviously tricky.

Luan Shu didn't ask any further questions, and pushed the small e-Donkey out of the gate, letting Ji Xinghu sit behind him, and was about to set off when he saw Congratulations coming out from the opposite door with his suitcase, followed by his sister Zhu Qi.

"Sister Qi," Ji Xinghu greeted enthusiastically, "Are you going to school today?"

Zhu Qi was three years older than them, and was already a college student. She was studying Spanish at Hongshi University of Foreign Studies, starting her sophomore year.

Zhu Xi said: "The school notified us to move the dormitory, so we have to go there early. Why are you two going?"

Ji Xinghu gritted his teeth: "Go to the dentist, take off the retainer today, and I will be the most beautiful boy in Chunshui Hutong."

Zhu Qi was amused by him: "Yes, our Xing'er is the best looking."

Hearing this, Congratulations was unhappy: "Sister, why are you turning your elbows out? Am I not prettier than him?"

Ji Xinghu was triumphant: "The eyes of the masses are discerning. Sister Qi is helping the manager or not helping relatives. It's useless if you don't feel angry. See you, Sister Qi. I will go to school to play with you in two days."

Zhu Xi stretched out his hand to pinch his fair and tender face, and said with a smile, "Okay, sister is waiting for you."

Congratulations on the 100th anniversary of professional dismantling: "I don't know you yet, you just miss the sweet and sour carp and fried pork ribs in my sister's school cafeteria."

Ji Xinghu pretended not to hear, and waved his hand forward: "The little hornet rushes to the duck!"

"Little Hornet" is the name Ji Xinghu gave to the little eDonkey, because it is similar to the Bumblebee in "Transformers".

Luan Shu is an excellent socialist successor with all-round development of morality, intelligence, physique, art and labor. He not only won the 800-meter freestyle championship in the middle school swimming competition in Hong City, but also won the No. 1 in the final exam of the first grade. The "little wasp" was the reward his mother and Ling gave to Luan Shu, and it cost him two thousand.

The sun at eight to nine o'clock had already reached scorching temperatures, and Ji Xinghu couldn't help being exposed to the sun, and it would wilt as soon as it was exposed to the sun. He leaned weakly on the back of the eucalyptus tree, blinking his eyes, trying to sleep.

Luan Shu has always been reticent, and today he is especially silent. He hasn't spoken much since he left the house.

What his mother said to him linked up many past events, which made him feel a little heavy.

Ji Xinghu's birthday was also the day his parents disappeared.

Ten years ago, on the day of Ji Xinghu's seventh birthday, his parents went out to buy him a birthday cake, but they never came back. Since then, they have disappeared without a trace.

Ji Xinghu's father, Ji Mingsheng, and Luan Shu's father, Luan Yushan, are good friends. Accounting for half of the property rights, there are four rooms in the east, west, north, south, two in the southeast, and two in the northwest.

After buying the house, we decorated it together, and then let it hang out for half a year, and the two families moved in together.

There are many Luan family members. The old man Luan Shaoqing and the old lady Feng Changfang live in the north room. The north room is the main room with good lighting and is suitable for the elderly. Luan Yushan and his wife He Ling who are just two months pregnant live in the west room.

There are no old people in the Ji family, only the loving couple Ji Mingsheng and Yuchi Lihua. They live in the east room, and the south room is used as a kitchen and storage room.

Less than half a month after moving in, Yuchi Lihua was also pregnant. The two families jokingly said that if they were born with a boy and a girl, they would book a baby kiss. Unfortunately, both families gave birth to boys, so the baby kiss was natural. Didn't work out.

With children in the family, life becomes lively.

But it was Jixing Lake that made the noise. Luan Shu was quiet and obedient when he was a child.

The children grew up healthy and lived peacefully until Ji Xinghu was seven years old. Suddenly, Ji Mingsheng and Yuchi Lihua disappeared. A well-behaved living person just evaporated from the world.

During that time, Ji Xinghu saw Tiandi crying and looking for his parents, but no one could coax him, except Luan Shu.I want Luan Shu to hug him, and Lonely Star Lake will quickly calm down. When sleeping at night, he must hug Luan Shu to fall asleep. That's when Luan Shu's human-shaped pillow journey began.

A year after Ji Mingsheng and Yuchi Lihua disappeared, Luan Yushan and Heling adopted Jixinghu, his name was entered in the Luan family's household registration book, and he and Luan Shu became brothers in the legal sense.

As for the Ji family's house, Ji Xinghu lived in the east house, and rented out the south house. The Cheng family moved in at that time and lived there for ten years.

Cheng Xueli’s father’s name is Cheng Yanting, his mother’s name is Han Xiaoxiu, and the couple opened a breakfast restaurant at the entrance of the alley, selling steamed buns, fried dough sticks, soy milk and tofu nao, etc. Although the business is not booming, it is not bad, enough for a family of three to live in different places Live in peace in a foreign country.

Luan Shu, Ji Xinghu and Zhu He have been playing together since they wore open crotch pants. They are the Iron Triangle. Come in and be part of the little gang.

In a blink of an eye, they will be in the second year of high school soon.

Ji Xinghu's parents have disappeared for a full ten years, but there is still no news of them.

They are probably already dead, Luan Shu thought, if they were still alive, it would be impossible to leave Lonely Star Lake alone.

When he arrived at the hospital, Luan Shu stopped thinking about it and accompanied Ji Xinghu to see the doctor.

After a comprehensive oral examination, the doctor said that the orthodontics were successful and that the retainer was no longer necessary. Ji Xinghu was so happy that he almost jumped up that the long torture was finally over!

After leaving the hospital, Ji Xinghu first recited a classic poem with great emotion:

"goose!

The song sings to the sky!

White hair floating in green water!

Anthurium dial clear wave! "

Passers-by were looking at him, thinking he was a psycho who escaped from the hospital.

"How is it?" Ji Xinghu smugly said, "Is it clear and correct?"

Luan Shu nodded cooperatively: "Yes."

Ji Xinghu said impassionedly: "What 'big tongue', what 'steel-toothed little prince', go to hell with them all! Dude, they will be reborn from today onwards hahaha!"

Luan Shu said, "Calm down."

Ji Xinghu hugged him: "Xiaoshu, I'm so happy!"

Happiness came too suddenly, now Luan Shu couldn't calm down, he froze, his brain stopped, only his heart was beating wildly.

Ji Xinghu quickly let go of him again, bared his big white teeth and asked, "Are you handsome, buddy?"

Luan Shu was stunned for two seconds, then nodded: "Handsome."

Ji Xinghu smiled triumphantly: "Do you know what I want to do most now?"

Luan Shu is like a repeater: "What are you doing?"

Ji Xinghu said loudly: "Talk! Love! Love!"

It was as if a basin of ice water had been poured down on Luan Shu's head, and Luan Shu's heart was instantly chilled, but his expression was always expressionless, so there was nothing unusual on his face.

Ji Xinghu went on to say: "I have been fed dog food by Congratulations and Meng Xing, and now I can finally become a serf and sing. The first priority after school starts is to find a beautiful girl to fall in love with!"

Luan Shu didn't answer, and walked towards the parking place in silence.

Ji Xinghu followed behind him and sang: "String your heart and my heart together, a clover, a concentric circle, so that all those who look forward to the future can be a companion while they are young..."

Every line of the lyrics is like a knife, swishing at Luan Shu's heart.

He held back, restrained himself, not letting himself get angry.

However, when he found out that the little eDonkey had a flat tire, he still couldn't help but swear.

Luan Shu calmed down in an instant: "You go to the McDonald's opposite and wait for me. I'll fix the car and come back to pick you up after it's done."

The excitement of Ji Xinghu was almost gone, and he said, "I'll go with you."

After saying "No", Luan Shu pushed the cart away, and Ji Xinghu stood there for a while, then crossed the road to McDonald's.

Ji Xinghu ordered a Maixuanfeng and found a seat to sit down.

He was not in a hurry to eat, but first took out his mobile phone to take a selfie, just like the classic [呲牙] emoji on WeChat, he showed his big white teeth and smiled so hard that he couldn't see his teeth.

After the photo was taken, Ji Xinghu sent the photo to the WeChat group.

The group name was "Little Fairy and Her Four Dwarfs", which was chosen by Meng Xing. Of course, "Little Fairy" refers to herself, and "Four Dwarfs" is to congratulate them, although none of them are short. .

But no one likes him.

Ji Xinghu was very angry, so he posted another Moments, still the same photo, with a sentence: Solemnly declare, from now on, whoever calls me the little prince of steel teeth, I will be in a hurry with whoever!

Likes and comments came soon, and Ji Xinghu looked at the neat and uniform "Little Prince with Steel Teeth" below, and was so angry that he almost bit the plastic spoon for eating ice cream.

After finishing the ice cream, Luan Shu hasn't come back yet.

Ji Xinghu was a little sleepy, lying on the table with his arms under his head, trying to squint for a while, but fell asleep after squinting.

When Luan Shu finished repairing the car and came to him, Ji Xinghu was sleeping soundly, with a thread of drool hanging from the corner of his mouth.

Luan Shu sat next to him, didn't call him, looked around and saw a note stuffed in his left hand.

Luan Shu carefully pulled out the note, unfolded it, and saw a few lines of small words scrawled on it: My friend thinks you are cute, if you like girls, this is her WeChat: 131****2225, If you like boys, this is mine: 188****5079.

Luan Shu: "..."

He crumpled up the note and threw it in the trash.
