A few hooligans also rode motorcycles. I don't know how many old cars they owned.Fang Xing sat behind that hip-hop boy, riding a motorcycle without a helmet for the first time, and his nose was uncomfortable from the wind.After a few hooligans got on the bike, they started screaming, and they didn't know why they were happy.Fang Xing suddenly envied them a little, maybe this is what a teenage boy should be like, heartless and brainless.

They rode all the way out of the city, and there were fewer and fewer tall buildings, and they even rode to a place full of bungalows.Fang Xing had never been to this place before, the strangeness and desolation made Fang Xing vigilant.

"Get out of the car."

Fang Xing's buttocks were numb along the way, and he was finally able to get down.

The hooligans got out of the car outside the bungalow, and looked inside. "Which alley do you remember?" A few people gathered together to look around, "This is it, I remember the last time I came here with a tricycle." The hip-hop boy slapped the speaker on the back of the head, " The tricycle was green last time, this one is blue!"

Fang Xing was a few steps away from them, and looked into several alleys. There were people walking around, and he could hear them talking, mostly with incomprehensible foreign accents. This place should be a gathering place for migrant workers.The person looking for him lives here?Who could it be?Fang Xing secretly had an expectation in his heart. He hoped that it would be the person he would like to see. Although it had been a long time, his impression of that person had become more and more vague, but apart from Fang Liyang, he could occasionally think of him. That's all.

"It's the alley ahead. Come here, this way!"

Several people finally confirmed the location, turned back and called Fang Xing, complaining that this place was too hard to find while cursing.

The road in the alley is uneven, full of potholes, and the dirty water from the sewer is sticky and disgusting.There are doors and windows on both sides, and people inside can be heard talking.Fang Xing looked to the side, and through a window, he saw an eleven or twelve-year-old boy sitting at a small table doing homework.Fang Xing has been consciously refraining from thinking about it, but this scene still reminds him of Ling County.In the low-slung bungalows and dilapidated paths, a group of teenagers were trapped together, fighting each other.At that time, an older child told him, "That's how we are, born with dirty blood, that's why we were thrown in this ghost place." However, everyone wanted to leave there, yearning for the outside world, yearning for Become a "blood clean" person.Those who can't get out treat the people around them as enemies, as if if they can make others unable to get out forever, they will have more hope of being able to get out.And so they fell upon each other like the young of a herd of beasts, with nameless hatred and ignorant cruelty.

The rude knock on the door brought Fang Xing back from his thoughts.A mottled iron door was smashed and rattled.

"Open the door!"

"Get away!" The hip-hop boy pulled away the knocker, took two steps back, and kicked the door open.

Someone in the next house stuck his head out of the window, "What are you doing?"

Fang Xing went in after them, and heard the little hooligan in front say: "Uncle, why don't you open the door when you're in the house?"

Fang Xing followed behind them. There was only a dim incandescent lamp in the room. The place where the door was entered was like a kitchen. The stove was dark and there was only a pair of tableware. There was a door on the left, which should be a bedroom.

"Damn it!" The first two people who entered the bedroom exclaimed and ran out, and the rest immediately retreated to Fang Xing, looking terrified.

Fang Xing looked at them, walked to the door of the bedroom alone, and saw a person curled up under the bed, he stepped forward and touched it with his foot, but the person did not respond.He turned his head and saw the hooligans were pawing at the door, Fang Xing glanced at them, and slowly squatted down.

"He stared at you!" Someone behind him said, "He thinks you are timid!"

Fang Xing didn't know whether this person was dead or alive, so he didn't dare to touch him lightly.Suddenly a person jumped up from behind, stretched out a foot from Fang Xing's side, and kicked the person on the ground with one kick.Fang Xing was taken aback for a moment, and then he heard a soft snort from the person on the ground.

"What are you afraid of? You're still alive!" It was the hip-hop boy who kicked people.

The man was kicked upside down, half of his face was covered by his unkempt hair, and another layer of dust was rubbed on the ground.Fang Xing gently brushed his hair away with his hands.The man's facial features were twisted together, looking very painful.

Fang Xing frowned, followed by the dim yellow light on the roof, carefully distinguishing the face of this person, Memory slowly stretched out his hand, and brushed off the dust on that person's face.Fang Xing suddenly shouted, "Uncle Tiao'er!"

The person lying on the ground was the old Tiao'er who watched Fang Xing at home when Fang Liyang carried out the "wolf hunting" operation. Later Fang Xing was sent to Ling County, where he was separated from Fang Liyang.Of course, none of these Fang Xing knew.In his impression, Lao Tiao'er is an adult like a child, a friend of his childhood, and every time he sees him, he can take out a lollipop from his pocket.

Thinking about it, Fang Xing reached out to touch the pocket of his trousers, and sure enough there was a lollipop.

"Uncle Tiao'er! Uncle Tiao'er! I'm Fang Xing! Are you looking for me? Here I come! I'm Fang Xing, Uncle Tiao'er!"

"You guys know each other! He also promised us to give us money if we found you?"

"How much did he say to you?"

"Five hundred."

"Yes, five hundred!"

Fang Xing is very confused now, he just wants to make them leave quickly, "I'll give you the money, and I'll see you at the stadium tomorrow. It's nothing to do with you."

The hooligans also wanted to leave here sooner, for fear that their death would have nothing to do with them.A few people murmured behind him, and after a few seconds, "Okay! We believe in you, and we will wait for you in the stadium tomorrow!" They left the room, and it didn't take long before they heard the sound of a motorcycle coming from a distance.

Fang Xing picked up Lao Tiao'er and put him on the bed.He yelled twice more, but Lao Tiao'er still only made some noises and didn't open his eyes.Fang Xing wanted to take him to the hospital, but it was a wild place, and he didn't even have a bicycle now, so he couldn't go to the hospital.He called Fang Liyang again, but no one answered after seven or eight rings.When I hung up the phone and wanted to call again, my sleeve was suddenly pulled.

Lao Tiao'er woke up.

"Uncle Tiao'er!" Fang Xing lost the phone, turned around and grabbed his arm, "Uncle Tiao'er, I am Fang Xing, I am Xing Xing!"

An ugly smile appeared on Lao Tiao'er's dirty face, and he said in a hoarse voice, "Great, I found the star."

Fang Xing also smiled, his eye circles were a little red with excitement. "I'll get you a glass of water!"

He ran to the outside room and walked around the stove. There was only the bowl he saw when he entered the door, not even a kettle, so he had to use the bowl to catch half a bowl of tap water and bring it to the house.

Helping Lao Tiao'er to sit up halfway, "This is raw water, drink less, moisten your throat."

Unexpectedly, Lao Tiao'er didn't care, grabbed the bowl and finished it in one bite.

"Uncle Tiao'er, what's wrong with you? I'll take you to the hospital, and I'll call Fang Liyang over here." As he spoke, he went to get the phone, but Lao Tiao'er held down his hand.

"No, don't tell Afang yet."

"why?"

Lao Tiao'er sighed, "I just wanted to see you, but I didn't dare to inquire about you directly. I found a few children who were about your age, and I really found you. Are you all right?"

"I'm fine. Uncle Tiao'er, what's wrong with you? Are you sick?"

Lao Tiaoer shook his head, "I'm fine, I'm not sick." He tried to sit up, Fang Xing gave him a hand, he looked at Fang Xing and smiled again, "Oh, Xing Xing has grown so big, if I'm on the road I’m sure I won’t recognize you when I see you. You’ve become a handsome young man. This is for you!” He took out the lollipop in his pocket and handed it to Fang Xing, “Don’t eat this when you grow up. Uncle Tiao’er doesn’t know Whatever you like now, I'll take this for you."

Fang Xing took it with a smile, "This one is pretty good." He tore off the wrapping paper and put it in his mouth. "Uncle Tiao'er," he said with sugar in his mouth, hesitant to say what to say next, but he said it after thinking about it, "Are you poor? Why do you live in such a place?"

Old Tiao'er waved his hand, "Uncle Tiao'er, since when did I ever have money, it's good to live here. Besides, I got into trouble, so I'm hiding here, so I don't dare to look for it openly. You, don't mention me to anyone."

"Fang Liyang can't do it either?"

"No, don't make trouble for him."

Fang Xing was not very happy, finally reunited with his old friend, seeing him so downcast but powerless.

"That's right." Old Tiao'er said suddenly, "Why do you call A Fang by name directly? How can you call yourself uncle like that?"

If it was normal, or someone else, Fang Xing would not recognize this uncle directly, but the person in front of him is Lao Tiaoer, someone who is familiar with himself and Fang Liyang, so he might not be able to explain clearly.Fang Xing simply did not answer.

"Have you quarreled with Afang? Children of your age know how to fight against adults!" Lao Tiao'er picked up the bowl and drank the last small puddle of water at the bottom of the bowl, "If an adult took care of me when I was young , I will not be like today. Your uncle is so kind to you, you must remember his kindness, and you must not be unconscionable. "

Fang Xing was annoyed at hearing this, and he didn't like having a fit, so he grabbed the bowl from his hand, "I'll give you some more."

Lao Tiao'er was not stupid, and when he saw that the child was unhappy, he didn't say any more.Taking the water handed by Fang Xing, "I didn't expect you to come so late, it's inconvenient here, how do you go back? It's too late, Ah Fang should be worried."

"He works until midnight now. I will pick him up after work and prepare supper for him." Fang Xing suddenly wanted to say this. No one around him knew Fang Liyang, and no one knew about their past, but Lao Tiao'er is different.He was familiar with the two of them, which made Fang Xing feel an unusual closeness to him.He couldn't express his feelings for Fang Liyang, but he really wanted to find someone who could understand him and express his feelings a little bit. "He bought me a motorcycle, but he didn't ride it today, or I can show you it. It's my favorite."

Lao Tiao'er held the water bowl and looked at him with a smile, "It seems that you didn't quarrel with him, but you still like Afang as much as you did when you were a child."

Same as when I was a child?Fang Xing smiled wryly, and he also hoped that this liking would never change.That way, everything would be much simpler.

When leaving, Lao Tiao'er repeatedly asked not to tell Fang Liyang, Fang Xing nodded, keeping secrets had become Fang Xing's instinct.
