After becoming the group pet of the Public Procuratorate

Dad is fighting the bad guys every day, I, I don't want to see brother Tiger might regret losing his dad in the future. "

This is what he said in his heart, which is not pleasant to the ear, but every word makes sense.

It was like rolling spring thunder splitting the mountain and falling, disturbing Lu Wu who was unwilling to wake up in the abyss.

He remembered that when he was ignorant, he once told the school teacher that he had no parents. He didn't really have any parents, but he just refused to admit it. It was because his father was still alive that he dared to say such things unscrupulously. Now he He has already tasted the pain of losing his mother, but he never thought about what life would be like if he lost his father again one day.

Lu Wu was slightly taken aback, looking into Bai Ming's eyes.

It turned out that the light that led me out of the darkness was emanating from this child. The clustered beams of light were exactly the child's desire to warm himself. The child called softly in the dark, allowing him to gradually wake up from his paralysis. Every word is calling him back.

Bai Ming lowered his head and said in a trembling voice, "Besides, you are already, already very lucky to have such a father."

Lu Wu's heart tightened. He thought of Bai Ming's father and his attitude just now. He immediately sat up and leaned next to Bai Ming, who was bowing his head. He hugged his back and said quickly, "I'm sorry Xiaobai, I, I know I'm wrong, don't cry, I'll listen to you."

"Really?" Bai Ming raised his head, staring at him through his tearful eyes.

"Of course, I'm not an unreasonable person..." Lu Wu clasped his hands together, speaking earnestly, "You're right, but when you think about it, Lu Jian treats me very well, and I can understand his dilemma between work and family. , He threw olive branches at me several times, it was the resentment in my heart that wanted him to feel guilty for the rest of his life, so I deliberately did not forgive him, after so many years, I should let it go, and my mother must hope so too."

There are fireflies in Lu Wu's eyes. He actually wanted to embrace the new students a long time ago, but he was depressed in his heart, and he was unwilling to expose the old wounds. He lacked a suitable opportunity, and he lacked someone who would not be afraid of being punched by him, and was willing to listen to him and explain to him. He, the one who accompanies him, enables him to know where he is going and not go astray.

He was kind-hearted in his heart, and he was unwilling to hold grudges for many years. All he could think of was regret for his mother and complaints for his father. Regrets are irreversible, but complaints can be resolved. All he can do is to comfort the passing Shao Wen , Cherish the living Lu Jian.

Bai Ming smiled gratifiedly after he finished speaking, and said with bright eyes: "Brother Tiger, you won't go back on your word, will you?"

"A man is a big man, he promises a lot, and a horse is hard to chase." Lu Wu patted his chest, imitating the tone of the ancients, and said leisurely.

Hearing this, Bai Ming was relieved, joy radiated from every cell in his body, his hands were pressed to the ground, his body was swinging back and forth like a pendulum, and a bright smile appeared on his face.

Seeing his expression, Lu Wu hugged him, lay down on the ground, and said: "If you don't look at these fireflies, they will all fly away."

Bai Ming's pillow landed on Lu Wu's stomach, and his head fluctuated up and down with Lu Wu's breathing. As expected, the fireflies disappeared a lot, and the visible range of the forest has shrunk from the distance to the side.

The moonlight is clearly visible again, and as the heartbeat gradually becomes clearer, it expresses the infinite love of the world in a limited time.

Lu Wu lightly pinched Bai Ming's cheek, and teased, "Usually you don't like preaching, but tonight you have become a little speaker."

Bai Ming grinned, and replied: "Brother Tiger usually doesn't listen to persuasion, but tonight he agreed happily."

"For your birthday's sake today, I don't care about you." Lu Wu slightly strengthened his hand, and said with a smile, "Xiaobai, while there are still a few bugs, let's make a wish."

"Okay." Bai Ming nodded, and obediently responded, then clasped his hands together, accompanied by the gurgling water in the Baihe River, and spoke out.

"One, I hope I can grow taller in the future, so that no one will call me short again."

Lu Wu chuckled and replied, "As long as I'm here, no matter how high or low you are, no one will dare to call you this nickname again."

"Second, I hope that my parents, Brother Tiger's father, Brother Tiger, and I will all be healthy and safe, that my father will stop beating others, and my mother will no longer have to work hard to earn money."

"It's simple. After you finish the exam, I'll talk to your dad. I will make your wish come true. At that time, the two of us will have a meal together. If you want to eat, I will go to the market to buy you something." .”

"Ah! Speaking of exams, three, I hope I can do better in this exam and get into a good university."

"Don't worry, I will teach you how to write questions, but there is nothing I can do to help you wish to go to university."

Bai Ming turned over and lay on Lu Wu's body, "Let's talk about these three wishes first, I can't remember the others."

Lu Wu put his hands on his pillow and smiled triumphantly, "Think about it carefully, this is the only time for birthdays throughout the year, let's say a few more, and let them all come true at once."

Bai Ming raised his head again, put his palms together again, bit his lips lightly, thought for a long time before saying: "Then add one, I hope to see Brother Tiger playing basketball in the future, I have never seen it before."

The spring breeze brings warmth, and in the wind is the fragrance of leaves.

Lu Wu pulled out a hand from the back of his head and snapped his fingers, "It's best to realize this, you wait, I will find some people in the town some time, form a basketball team, and then play a game, Let me open your eyes."

"Competition?" Bai Ming's eyes seemed to be filled with stars, and he said with anticipation, "That's great! I really want to see Brother Tiger play a game!"

Lu Wuxi smiled, "Xiaobai's birthday is the 19th, so I will put a number 19 on my clothes to represent that I am player number 19. Every time I score a goal, I will look back at you. You have to give me the number [-]." Applause."

Bai Ming laughed so much that he even clapped his hands now, "Brother Tiger must fight hard, I will cheer you on!"

"Lagou, don't go back on your word."

"it is good."

Agreements between children are always so easy and sincere.

Lu Wu let go of the hook, and asked again: "Xiaobai, you always say that you want to go to university, but you have to choose a major in university, and the major is related to your future job. What do you want to do in the future?"

His mother asked this question, the teacher asked it, and Xiaopang asked it too, but Bai Ming still hasn't got an accurate answer. All the classmates around him want to be scientists, but he doesn't want to, so he shook his head when he couldn't answer.

"I don't know, but I also want to be a person who can be useful to society, just like Brother Tiger's father, preferably the kind who can help everyone eliminate bad guys."

Lu Wu was startled, and said in amazement, "You want to be a policeman like Lu Jian?"

Bai Ming pouted and replied: "Since you have forgiven your father, you can't call him by his full name."

"You really have a lot of requests..." Lu Wu flicked his head, "Then let me say it again, you want to be my dad, dad, a policeman like that?"

He was not used to this address, so he had to pause for two seconds before saying it.

"Well, I think the police uncle is very powerful. I like this profession very much." Bai Ming stretched out his fist, "But I can't learn to be like the policemen on TV. They seem to be good at fighting. I don't like fighting. I think Be a person who can punish villains without using force."

Lu Wu knows why he rejects force so much. The scars on his body are the injuries that force inflicted on him. It is precisely because he experiences it every day that he can experience the pain caused by force.

"You actually like the police, what's so good about the police?" Lu Wu muttered to himself, humming with his mouth curled up.

Bai Ming looked up, "What?"

"It's nothing..." Lu Wu answered quickly, and said frankly, "Then you can be a judge or a lawyer."

These two novel terms caught Bai Ming by surprise, and he asked curiously, "What do judges and lawyers do?"

Lu Wu thought for a while and said seriously: "The operation of our society is inseparable from the enforcement of the law. Judges and lawyers serve the law. They guarantee fairness and justice. They can not only protect the interests of good people, but also punish you. As for the bad guys, they don’t use force, they use knowledge to solve problems.”

"Law, law?" Bai Ming paused every word. He had difficulty understanding this concept. As far as he knew, there seemed to be only good people and bad people.

"That's right, it's the law..." Lu Wu looked at Bai Ming's slightly sleepy eyes, and sneered. This child can see through death, but he doesn't understand the law, which makes him very interesting. "Laws are some regulations, tell us What can be done and what cannot be done.”

Every time he spoke, his abdomen would rise and fall according to the words, and it was already late at night, so he was sleepy and sleepy.

"Then I'll study law in the future." Bai Ming spoke with utmost sincerity. He was tired and asked back, "Where's Brother Tiger? What do you want to be in the future?"

Lu Wu crossed his legs, took a deep breath, and said, "I'm not a responsible person. I don't have such ambitious goals like you. As long as I don't become a bad person, I can do anything."

"That's not it..." Bai Ming blinked and said dreamily, "Brother Tiger said just now that he would protect me in the future, why is he not a responsible person? I think Brother Tiger must be a good person in the future and can protect many people good man."

The woods returned to darkness, the last firefly flew past Bai Ming's eyes, and it suddenly split into two. He was taken aback, rubbed his eyes, and the two merged together again. Only then did he realize that he had misread it. .

After Lu Wu heard it, he felt mixed emotions in his heart. He looked down at Bai Ming whose eyes were almost closed, gently rubbed the ends of his fine hair, and said slowly, "Then I will lend you a good word."

The force was neither too big nor too small, as the warm palm touched the child's forehead, Bai Ming closed his eyes, and had no strength left, "It's still far away from growing up now, I have to solve the immediate problems before we can talk about the future." thing."

The question in front of me naturally refers to the arithmetic test, Lu Wu smiled lightly, and said comfortingly: "Don't think about the test, you can sleep peacefully first, and I will send you home in person later."

With these words, even in this dense forest, Bai Ming could sleep peacefully. He slightly adjusted his posture, hugged Lu Wu's arm, and fell asleep in a short while.

Lu Wu tried his best to control his breathing, so as not to wake up the sleeping child too much. He turned his head to the side, and a layer of mist formed on the nearby Baihe River, covering the river bed, covering the moonlight tonight. The three camellias Standing still in the glass bottle above the head, with the flower heart facing the forest, the taste is light, not as strong as before.

The night was peaceful, and the boy didn't feel sleepy. How he wished that time could stop here, so that he could spend a little more time with this child, even if it was just a minute or a second longer.

The spring breeze is still there, the mountains and forests are quiet, and the young man has no intention of bothering with the trivial matters at the bottom of the mountain. It seems that as long as he stays here, he will not cause worldly troubles. There are no wolves, tigers and leopards here, only birds, beasts, insects and fish. There is no wind, frost, rain and dew, only willows. Yinghuayan, there is no right and wrong, joys and sorrows here, only a sleeping child in her arms, and an amazing season of spring.

The young man who dared to step on the mountains and rivers and stand shoulder to shoulder with the sun and the moon suddenly understood the principle of contentment and happiness. He no longer covets other things, all he wants is what is in front of him.

The boy doesn't want much, the world gives him too little.

Good times are fleeting, and it doesn't care whether others miss them or not.Afraid that the child would catch a cold, the young man lightly picked up the child on his back, held one leg with one hand, and walked towards the town on foot.

He looked up at the moon in the sky, and every step he took was very steady. His warm back was pressed against a soft body, and the sound of the child's even breathing could be heard beside his ears. The heat was on his neck, and it was a little itchy. It smells like a sweet dream.

The mountain road was silent, the boy left the forest, stepped across the Baihe River, and slowly entered the town along the original road from the flower field. There was no light on the road, and there was no traveler.

Suddenly, Lu Wu felt a chill in his shoulders, he turned his head slightly, and saw Bai Ming's eyes closed, his mouth half-opened, the saliva soaked his arms, and flowed from his collar into his chest.

He had no choice but to sigh, feeling a little disgusted in his heart, and said to himself, "Xiaobai!"

No way, who made this his most beloved brother?

Walking lightly all the way, Bai Ming was not awakened by the jolt.

The author has something to say:

【Broadcast cavity】

Ding Dong!

Arrival station ahead: Broken Mirror Reunion Station

78、Accidents

The chairs in the classroom were cold, but Bai Ming couldn't feel it. His mind was so full of today's exam that he didn't sleep well for several nights after his birthday.

The bell rang loudly, and the teacher walked into the house with the paper in his hand. The paper in his hand was yellowish. It was low-quality paper bought from the town market.

Bai Ming remembered that on the way to school this morning, Lu Wu taught him how to relax, so he took a deep breath, and only let it out slowly when he couldn't breathe anymore.

Halfway through the spring, he has been desperately reviewing for the first half of the time, and the arithmetic books he has written are piled up in the drawers. Lu Wu taught it over and over again, and he also learned it over and over again, just for this moment to come.

However, this is just an ordinary test, except for Bai Ming, no one values ​​it so much, but Bai Ming puts everything on this test, every question is a bet, which determines his future fate.

He took the paper, spread it out, held his breath, bent down again, and began to write vigorously on the paper.

The classroom was exceptionally quiet, filled with the sound of pens rubbing against paper.

Every question seems familiar, but there is no impression. These most basic arithmetic questions outline a huge world in the children's minds. This world is composed of numbers, and different arithmetic symbols collide with each other in it, and the sparks of the answer are produced by friction. .

The sunlight slanted on the table, and the lines of light and shadow were interlaced. Bai Ming did it very quickly, he was the first person to turn over the roll.

At the end of the exam, he heaved a sigh of relief. Although he didn't know if he did it correctly, but fortunately, he wrote it all, and he didn't leave a blank question.

There were not many people in the class. After the teacher took away the papers, he quickly judged the scores, sent someone to distribute the papers, and announced in front of the whole class that the No.1 in this exam was Bai Ming with a score of 98. .

When everyone was astonished, Bai Ming was ecstatic. No one knew how much time and effort he spent on this exam to achieve such an impressive result.

He looked at the marks marked in red on the test paper, and couldn't take back the smile on his face. Last semester, his arithmetic level was at the bottom of the class, but in this spring, he won the first place.

He regarded this paper as a treasure, carefully folded it in half along the middle seam, and finally stuffed it into his pocket. The reason why he didn’t put it in his schoolbag was because he could quickly put it back to Brother Tiger and his parents when he showed it off later. take it out.

On the way home from school with Lu Wu, Bai Ming’s feet seemed to be equipped with springs, and he was bouncing all the way, running to the front for a while, and falling behind for a while. Then he turned dizzy and could only continue walking by supporting Lu Wu's arm, but he still smiled happily without getting tired.

He has always been cautious and fearful since he was a child, and he has never been so lively before. The breeze under the sunset seems to be stained with nectar, and it is thousands of times sweeter than before.

Seeing him so happy, Lu Wu felt happy for him from the bottom of his heart, kept smiling, and followed closely, "Xiaobai, slow down, don't fall."

No one knows why Bai Ming is so excited today, only he knows that his father has no reason to sell himself, he can continue to live with his mother and Brother Tiger, he thinks he has successfully got rid of the stupid label, this paper is the best proof.

After separating from Lu Wu, he opened the door of his house, took out the paper, held the upper corner tightly, and held it high above his head, like a flag representing victory, fluttering in the wind as he ran.

He rushed into the courtyard, and there was the same noise of husband and wife in the main hall as before, but no one heard his joyful cheers. He looked towards the source of the sound, and although it was getting late, no one turned on the lights in the main hall.

This is the first time since he received the paper, his smile froze. The intense quarrel cut his happiness by half in an instant. He didn't know why his parents were arguing, so he could only walk slowly towards the door. Although he was afraid of his father, But the paper in his hand gave him great confidence. He even thought that as long as he showed his parents his grades, he could end the war.

He stopped and stood outside the door through the closed doors and windows. Although his parents were arguing loudly, it was very noisy. He couldn't hear the content of the words clearly, so he took a deep breath, opened the door lightly, and followed the creaking With a sound, the debate between the two people in the room really stopped.

The moonlight threw his shadow into the house from the outside of the yard. He stepped lightly with one foot and looked in. He saw his parents leaning against the wall, as if they were pushing each other. With an expressionless expression, only the outline of a human figure can be seen in the darkness.

He reached for the sling of the control switch with one hand, pulled it down, and the lights in the house instantly turned on.

When the light came on, he suddenly saw the expressions of his parents. Although they were both looking at him, his mother's face was full of worries and tears, while his father seemed to have seen a prey, horrifying.

He took a step back in fright, held up the paper and said timidly: "Mom and Dad, the results of the arithmetic test are out. I, I got 98 points in the test, and I am No. 1 in the class."

"Go back to the house! Lock the door! Don't come out!"

His mother let out a roar that made him tremble violently.

He didn't understand his mother's words, which was very different from the reaction he expected.

It was too late and then soon, the father pushed his mother's hands away, and walked towards Bai Ming. He stopped in front of Bai Ming, his tall body almost pressed against him.

Bai Ming was so frightened that his legs became weak, but he didn't back down. He picked up the folded test paper with both hands, and presented it carefully.

The father was serious, and immediately grabbed the torn paper without even looking at it, crumpled it into a ball, and threw it in the yard at will.

Bai Ming was stunned. He watched the ball of paper draw an arc in the air, land on the ground and roll twice, and finally stood still among the weeds.

That was his achievement these days, the medal he thought could prove himself, he regarded it as a treasure and couldn't put it down, but in the eyes of his father, the test paper was nothing but worthless garbage.

He turned pale with fright, and was about to turn around to pick it up, but was held in the air by his father as if he was carrying a log. He was just about to get rid of his father's restraint, but he heard his father roar viciously: "Don't move!"

He immediately calmed down, but the voice of reason still echoed in his head: Father is going to sell himself.

Didn't father hear what he said?

Bai Ming was at a loss, and shouted in a panic, "Dad, I'm not stupid. I got No.1 in the exam. I studied very hard. I will be admitted to university in the future. You, don't sell me."

He kept repeating this sentence, but his father just looked indifferent, turning a blind eye, as if he was not interested in this topic, and walked towards the gate.

It was only then that he realized that the reason for being stupid was just a cover. Regardless of whether he was smart or not, his father had already decided to sell him.

Anxiety immediately filled his whole body. He stopped being meek and shook his body vigorously, trying to break free from the shackles with all his strength. He used both hands and feet together, but no matter how hard he struggled, he couldn't help his father.

His father held him firmly, and walked towards the shop step by step. Seeing the door getting closer, Bai Ming felt restless. He shouted loudly and beat his father with all his might, tears welled up in his eyes. Give him a double whammy.

Suddenly, a pair of hands hugged his legs, forcing his father to stop.

Taking advantage of his father's turning around, Bai Ming shrank suddenly, fell to the ground with the strength of his legs being held, and escaped from the sky, only to see his mother squatting on the ground, holding his lower limbs tightly with all his strength, dragging Follow in father's footsteps.

The mother stood up quickly, protecting the child behind her.

Bai Ming grabbed his mother's clothes tightly, and he could feel that his mother was trembling all over, just like himself.

The father turned around and approached the two of them.

Bai Ming stepped back with his mother, his heartbeat was as fast as a wild horse, his father's eyes became more and more angry, his brows were tightly wrinkled, his hands clenched into fists, pressing every step of the way.

"Bitch!" The father rushed forward in two steps, and slapped the mother to the ground with a slap.

The mother covered her side face, even though she was sitting on the ground, her arms still pushed Bai Ming away, she raised her head, looked at her husband's condescending attitude, tears kept falling, "Bai Tao, it's our business to fight and scold, don't you Take your anger out on Minger, what did Minger do wrong? So much so that you insist on selling him, he is your own blood, don't you feel sorry for him at all?"

Bai Ming did not abandon his mother, but hugged his mother's arm instead, with tears dripping down his cheeks.

"I've said it many times. He's a money-burner. He doesn't need money for food, clothing, and clothing? Tell me, what can he do now? Can he pay off my debts? Or earn money for you? He The tuition fee and book fee are so expensive, can you afford it?"

His father's voice was deafening, and every cry made Bai Ming tremble with fright.

"I, I can make money. I can sell flowers with Xiaopang and the others. I can also help white paint the walls of other people's homes. I can also pick up plastic bottles on the road. I don't go to school anymore, I don't go to school anymore."

Bai Ming kept shaking his head, begging in a trembling voice, in order to stay here, he would do anything, even if he gave up his dream of studying, he would not hesitate.

The father ignored it, and he didn't say anything more. The only solution was to use violence. He rushed forward, grabbed Bai Ming's clothes, wrapped his arms around his son's neck, and dragged him outward.

The pain of suffocation offset the tension in his heart. Bai Ming grabbed his father's arm with both hands, his feet seemed to be twitching, and kicked on the spot like crazy. , and couldn't cry, his face gradually turned from red to white, his mind became dizzy, and his eyes almost lost color.

Regardless of the pain in her cheek, mother stood up again, grabbed father's back, and bit his shoulder hard.

Father felt a pain in his left shoulder, screamed, and let go of Bai Ming with his arm reflexively, and turned to scratch the wound. He turned his head to look at the slightly bloody tooth marks on the back of his shoulder, and kicked his mother to the ground in a rage.

Bai Ming coughed angrily, out of breath, bent down, breathed desperately, raised his head again, and saw his father approaching again, he ignored the pain in his lungs, and slipped into the main room in a flash. hall.

His father chased after him, his eyes were fierce, and he wanted to catch him and beat him up.

Bai Ming jumped into the house and hid behind the square wooden table. When his father walked around from the left, he fled to the right. If his father turned to the right, he fled to the left. In any case, he and his father hid in the opposite direction. go.

In this way, he circled around the square table for three rounds. His father lost his patience and threw the table away with both hands, blocking the roads on the left and right. The huge shadow swallowed Bai Ming. Raising her foot and kicking fiercely, the mother suddenly broke into the house and threw her father to the ground with all her strength.

Bai Ming got another chance to escape, his weak legs were hard to use, and he stood up tremblingly.

His mother took Bai Ming's hand and was about to take him away from here. Just when he was about to step out of the main hall, his father, although lying on the ground, grabbed his mother's ankle and pulled hard, pulling his mother to the ground as well.

When Bai Ming heard the movement behind him, he turned his head and saw his mother was being dragged into the house by his father with tears in his eyes. He was terrified and stunned in place.

"Go back to the house! Close the door!" The mother kept repeating this sentence, perhaps because she didn't want the children to see the scene inside the house. At the last moment she was dragged into the house, she grabbed the edge of the door with both hands and closed the door forcefully.

Once the door is closed, inside and outside seem like two worlds.

In an instant, Bai Ming heard his father roar, followed by all kinds of shattering sounds. Although he couldn't see it, he knew that empty wine bottles, hot water pots, pots and pans, and everything that could be smashed had already fallen on the ground. She fell on her mother, and her mother's shouts also spread outside the door, endlessly.

The two shadows reflected on the door swayed violently, intertwining and blending together like a shadow puppet show. The misty night fell too early, which should be intoxicating, but it made Bai Ming lose his mind.

Tears washed out two gullies on his cheeks, and his thoughts seemed to be immersed in magma, peeling and short-circuiting.

How to do?How to do?

For a moment, he suddenly thought of Brother Tiger next door.That's right, the only ones who can stop my father and save my mother are Lu Jian and Lu Wu, father and son.

He took two steps back, tears flowed into his half-open mouth, turned around, and ran out.

However, after only two steps, a woman's cry suddenly came from the main hall. The scream was like a sharp knife, piercing his ears with pain. Falling to the ground, apart from that bang, there was no other sound in the house.

Time seems to stand still, and the world at this moment is silent.

The shadow play ended with one person falling to the ground.

The cool wind blew the waste paper under his feet, Bai Ming silently picked up his test paper, he took two steps towards the door of the main hall, panting for breath, with an uneasy heart.

The door of the house opened slowly, and he saw his mother standing inside, holding a fragment of a glass bottle in her hand. Her arms, ankles, and clothes all over her body had only one color, and the bright red liquid was like a torrent of water flowing from her mother The body is constantly dripping.

Bai Ming was so frightened that he didn't dare to speak. After turning his eyes around his mother, he saw a pair of feet lying flat on the floor of the house besides all kinds of debris, and beside the motionless feet, more blood flowed.

In addition, the cracks in the door, window eaves, white walls, tables and chairs, everything you can see is vermilion, and the hot liquid is splashed everywhere.

The mother had disheveled hair, a bruised nose and a swollen face. She looked exhausted, as if she would fall down if blown by the wind. She gasped for breath, and sharp fragments fell from her hands. There were red footprints one after another.

She walked slowly in front of the child, knelt down, her heart was filled with sorrow, and she couldn't speak for a long time.

Bai Ming tightly held the test paper in his hand, tears streaming down his face again, sobbing, "Mom, I, I thought that if I got No.1 in the exam, Dad wouldn't sell me out."

His mother hugged him, crying uncontrollably, "Ming'er, you will never be sold again, from today onwards, you will live a good life with your mother, okay?"

The moon is as cool as water, drowning the overgrown weeds in the garden.

Bai Ming let go of his palm, and the ball of paper fell to the ground. Compared with his mother, the No.1 test paper was meaningless, and he also hugged his mother's neck tightly, nodded his head vigorously, and cried badly, "Okay, okay. "

Blood stained his clothes red, and a fishy smell rushed to his face.

For many years, all the negative emotions such as fear and grievance that had been suppressed in the shadow of his father burst out at this moment, but he was not sad. It seemed that without his father, his heart imprisoned in the abyss was released, and finally Can see the light of day again.

And the only way to vent these emotions is to cry.

The mother wanted to wipe the tears off the child's face with her hands, but she looked at the blood-stained hands helplessly. She didn't want the blood of the wicked to stain the child's innocent face. She held the child's arm, and there was a gleam in her tender eyes .

"Ming'er, can you agree to one of Mom's requests?"

Bai Ming was startled, and stopped crying.

"I know you are very close to the kid named Lu Wu, but his father is a policeman in our town. If his father finds out about what happened tonight, my mother will be arrested and thrown into jail, and she will never be seen again." I can't take care of you anymore, can you, can you stop playing with him in the future?"

The mother almost choked up. She looked at the child's eyebrows, stretched out her hand, and gently stroked the red bloodstain on Bai Ming's neck. She had just ended a nightmare with her own hands, but she was afraid that other nightmares would follow.

For a moment, Bai Ming's mind was empty, he seemed to have lost his mind, stuck in place like a piece of wood, his mother's words made him unable to speak, he never dreamed that one day, Brother Tiger and himself would become cat and mouse like natural enemies.

There seemed to be a scale in front of him, with his mother at one end and Lu Wu at the other end. Although he wanted to keep the balance in balance, this scale obviously couldn't do this, and he had to abandon one end.

Seeing that he didn't respond for a long time, his mother shook his short body desperately, and cried, "Is that Lu Wu more important than my mother? Can you promise my mother? Okay?"

Bai Ming's eyes were slack, his face was expressionless, like an emotionless robot, but tears fell on his collar with the blink of his eyelids. The tears should have been warm, but the ice made his cheeks ache.

Maybe it wasn't the cheek that hurt at all.

Knowing that this was a painful decision for him, his mother held him tightly in her arms again. Her complex and contradictory heart made her cry loudly, and she cried hoarsely when she knew that the painful days would never come again.

This choice seems to have two options, but Bai Ming knows that it doesn't matter whether he chooses or not.

The blood spread from the mother and son's feet, dyeing the abandoned paper bright red. Bai Ming stretched out his trembling hands and hugged his mother gently.

"it is good."

79. Alienation

Only when you suffer from insomnia will you feel the length of the night.

Bai Ming huddled under the quilt, and his mother told him to go to bed earlier on the grounds that he was going to school, and did not allow him to go out of the house to help. He heard the continuous sound of sweeping the floor and splashing water outside the hall, and he did not feel sleepy at all. He knew that his mother was doing something. What, I also know that I shouldn't think about it.

Although the quilt was tightly wrapped without a single gap, his hands and feet were still cold, as if the blood in his whole body had been frozen, and every breath was turning the rusty gears of his body with difficulty.

The moon rises, the moon sets, and the first light of dawn is ushered in the sky.

He hardly slept that night, and his sleepy eyes were more swollen than ever. He dragged his heavy body and pushed open the door. The yard was clean and there was no trace of blood. With those flat feet, he left the house in a hurry before he even had time to eat breakfast.

The mother understood the child's mood, and also knew how much shadow the accident last night had left on him, but in order to prevent the child from starving, she still secretly hid two pancakes in Bai Ming's schoolbag.

Bai Ming lowered his head and pushed open the door of the shop, only to see a young man with a happy face standing at the bottom of the steps as usual, just his smile is refreshing.

In the boy's hand, there are two buns.

"Xiaobai, I made this myself when I got up this morning. Let me try it for you." Lu Wu stepped forward, handed the bigger one in front of Bai Ming, and lightly took a bite of his own steamed stuffed bun.

The minced meat was steaming hot, and he just took a bite, and he was so hot that he gasped for breath, even his hands were red from the heat, the oil soaked into the dough, and the meaty fragrance overflowed, tightly binding his taste buds.

Bai Ming was startled for a moment, then his face turned pale. He remembered what his mother said last night, and then looked at the funny boy in front of him. He hurriedly turned around, grabbed the strap of his schoolbag with both hands, and walked quickly towards the distance.

Lu Wu was stunned for a moment, stopped chewing his food, and after a two-second delay, he hurried to catch up.

While chasing, he stretched the buns in front of Bai Ming, following his walking rhythm.

"It's delicious, try it quickly." Lu Wu thought it was because the child was worried about his craftsmanship, so he emphasized it again.

Bai Ming remained silent, and even quickened his pace.

"There is still a little time before class, don't be so anxious..." Lu Wu followed him to speed up, and took another bite of his mouth, "Are you afraid of being hot? Then I will give it to you first."
