Light spot

Lin Zhi told Xu Rui about this in advance two days before his 11th birthday, implying that Xu Rui had prepared gifts in advance could not have been more obvious.

When Xu Rui cleaned up the dirt on his snail shells, he held his chin and meditated, and then touched his bare pockets. All Xu Rui's own toys were given by Lin Zhi, and it is impossible to use them now. The gift goes back to the past.

The snail's glass house has been gradually upgraded and expanded in the past six months. There are green plants and small sprinklers that spray water regularly. Those snails that Xu Rui caught before have laid eggs in it and hatched many small snails.

When there were more and more snails, Lin Zhi asked the servant to clean up some of them, but Xu Rui didn't notice, he only saw that there were still a few snails in the snail's glass room.

When he finally finished cleaning up and admiring, he was about to get up to leave when he found a snail motionless under a large leaf.

The day of Lin Zhi's birthday was sunny and sunny. His legs have recovered very well now, and he will play football with Xu Rui on weekends.

It also happened to be a weekend.

After breakfast, Xu Rui took Lin Zhi back to the bedroom. Lin Zhi stood there, watching Xu Rui go to the desk and find something small from a corner, and then grabbed it in his hand.

Xu Rui walked up to Lin Zhi timidly, and took his hand.

Lin Zhi raised his eyes and asked, "Birthday gift?"

Xu Rui nodded shyly.

Xu Rui put his hand on Lin Zhi's fair-skinned palm, and then slowly opened it.

A very light little thing fell into the palm of Lin's pheasant.

Xu Rui moved his hand away, revealing a colorful snail shell in Lin Zhi's palm.

Lin Zhi couldn't help chuckling: "I was such a treasure at the time, I was so mysterious." After he said this, he soon saw that Xu Rui's expression was a little bit wrong.

It was redder than before, and looked a little sad and injured with its head down. From time to time, it raised its eyes to take a sneak peek at Lin's pheasant, and then looked at the colorful snail shell in Lin's palm, as if hesitating to take it back.

Forest pheasants, who have many expensive and high-end toys, don't seem to be very rare in such things.

Lin Zhi soon realized his slip of the tongue, it was very wrong for him to do so, and it would dampen Xu Rui's enthusiasm.

Xu Rui who loves to cry is really easy to get hurt, Lin Zhi added: "Thank you, I like it very much."

Xu Rui didn't seem to believe it yet, and then looked at Lin Zhi's face, but Lin Zhi's expression was very sincere.

This is Lin Zhi's usual ability. Whether it is a lie or the truth, he is always extremely serious, so that Xu Rui can't see any flaws.

Xu Rui quickly delivered his trust again, as if he had regained his confidence under the encouragement of Lin Zhi, he gestured to Lin Zhi in sign language and said happy birthday.

Lin Zhi didn't hesitate to praise himself for this kind of thing: "This is the best gift I've ever received."

Xu Rui shyly put his hands behind his back.

With the recovery of Lin Zhi's legs, some changes have taken place in the Lin family. Originally, due to various rumors, it was said that Lin Zhi was not only mentally abnormal but also disabled. Even though he was Lin Qinsheng's only son, he might not be able to be the heir in the future For training, although the members of the Lin family's offshoots didn't say much on the surface, they did a lot of tricks after Lin Zhi was disabled and chose to drop out instead of continuing to study.

In the same generation as Lin Pheasant, except for those who are very different in age from him, he also has several cousins ​​who are about the same size as him, and the closer cousins ​​are only one year younger than him.

Lin Qi is the son of Lin Qinsheng's own younger brother. The old man of the Lin family had only two sons. They were raised in the same environment but grew up with completely different personalities. His youngest son was cowardly and honest. In the year when the old man was about to retire, in front of Lin Qinsheng, who was already married to the Tao family, the struggle for power almost had an unexpected result from the very beginning.

But Lin Qi is different from his cowardly father, he is a little overlord who is used to being pampered. Although his father doesn't hold much power in the family business, the money left to him by Mr. Lin is enough for him to spend in several lifetimes That's right, the year after Lin Qinsheng took over from the Lin family, Mr. Lin finally let go of power after he arranged a well-matched marriage for his youngest son.

In fact, at the beginning, the Lin family's second child was satisfied with living in such a pampered way because they had no worries about food and drink, had a good life, and felt that they didn't have that much ability. The achievements made are constantly smoothed out.

But the bad thing is that the one born by Lin Qin has been rumored to be a born bad seed since he was a child.

I heard that Tao Yiying's cat was drowned in the garden of her home when she was seven years old, and even the litter of cubs born with the cat completely annoyed Tao Yiying, who was not very close to the forest pheasant.

There are many rumors about Lin Pheasant, saying that although his grades are good, he has a bad mind. He has abused cats since he was a child, and even the kittens are not spared. He has poor empathy and is heartless. Come on, that's why I couldn't even go to school after my legs couldn't stand up.

Lin Qinsheng's cowardly and silent younger brother, Lin Lun, no matter how aggressive he was, he couldn't bear the influence of his wife and some Lin family's offshoots who secretly stood in line.

But as soon as the little flame of desire and ambition emerged in his heart, Lin Zhi, who thought he would never stand up for the rest of his life, suddenly stood up again.

Along with his reputation as a little lunatic and bad breed, he was born precocious, and he was able to achieve exceptionally good grades in any subject, with a strong memory and a fast learning speed.

Lin Zhi hadn't celebrated his birthday for two years. In the year he stood up, many relatives came to celebrate his birthday. Many people came to the Lin family's single-family villa on this day.

Lin Zhi was on the second floor of the bedroom, putting the colorful snail shells that Xu Rui had given him into his jacket pocket, watching the distant cousins ​​who came from the Lin family come in.

Suddenly, Lin Zhi's wandering eyes paused for a moment, that was Tao Chenyi, Tao Yiying's nephew, two years older than Lin Zhi, and he used to play with Lin Zhi when he was young, but he also learned from Lin Zhi It's been a while since I disappeared from my life, and I heard that I went abroad to go to middle school.

I don't know how it will come today.

No matter how tired of such occasions Tao Yiying had to act as a decent and generous hostess to entertain those who came to celebrate Lin Zhi's birthday.

Lin Zhi searched around on the second floor, but couldn't find Xu Rui. He suddenly glanced at the time, and then remembered that today is the weekend.

The ball that Lin Zhi in the next room gave Xu Rui had disappeared.

Xu Rui heard some chaotic voices and strange voices in the quiet backyard.

He poked his head out from behind the tree, and saw a few boys in front of him holding water guns, playing with each other and spraying water.

This game is too attractive for boys of this age, and Xu Rui is no exception. He couldn't help standing up, leaning half of his body out from behind the tree, trying to see more clearly.

But he didn't expect that when he stood up and supported the tree, he let go of his hands, and the ball in his hands rolled to the ground and rolled out all the way.

Lin Qi, who was spraying water on a partner's head, just ran triumphantly to avoid the opponent's counterattack, when he tripped over a ball that rolled over suddenly, and fell into the mud.

None of the friends who played together dared to spray water on Lin Qi who was already furious at this time. Losing face in front of others is something that Lin Qi, who has always been a king at home and in front of his companions, can't bear it.

"Whose broken ball is this!" Lin Qi roared, stood up with the water gun in his hand, and began to search in the back yard.

Xu Rui was so frightened that he didn't dare to speak out, and he didn't expect such a thing to happen. He hadn't seen a child of the same age for a long time, and had been exposed to the outside world. He was instinctively afraid to avoid it and blamed himself at the same time.

He hid behind the tree and buckled the bark with his little fingers uneasily, and couldn't help but want to see how the boy fell, and he also wanted to get his ball back, hoping to apologize and be forgiven.

As soon as he probed like this, the group of children would have spotted him.

A group of people booed like they had caught some prey and grabbed Xu Rui out from behind the tree.

Xu Rui was a little older than them, and taller than them, but he just shrank his head in fright like a quail, and was dragged out.

When he came in front of Lin Qi, the two children faced each other, and Lin Qi was still gnashing his teeth at the culprit who made him lose face.

"Where did you come from!?" Lin Qi asked.

Xu Rui couldn't speak, so he gestured with his hands again in a hurry.

This reminded Tao Chenyi, who had been watching them play on the swing in the back yard, thinking of something. After all, he was already in junior high school and was much older than them. He walked over and saw Xu Rui, looked him up and down, and said, "He It seems like he can't speak."

Then he asked Lin Qi: "Didn't you know that my uncle adopted a mute boy before? It was the child of his driver who passed away. There was a program recorded at that time. You didn't watch it."

Lin Qi's childish nature, being mentioned by Tao Chenyi, he seemed to be a little impressed by his mother's mention, but he didn't really care. The most important thing is that although Xu Rui appeared in the Lin family, he was not the Lin family. The relative's child was not from the Tao family, but a mute orphan who couldn't speak, which made Lin Qi, who was already unwilling to give up, even more arrogant.

In such an environment as the Lin family, and after being nurtured day and night by some of his relatives and his mother, he quickly learned the skills of watching and ordering dishes and bullying the weak.

"You guys catch him!" Lin Qi commanded his distant cousins ​​with a domineering face.

Tao Chenyi was told by her aunt to watch the children play, not to cause any trouble, and the most important thing is not to fight, but she saw them quickly grab Xu Rui, and Lin Qi stepped on the ball towards Xu Rui Before he could stop the kick, Xu Rui was hit head-on and got a nosebleed.

"Wait! You..." Tao Chenyi's voice stopped, looking at Xu Rui who was bleeding, his tone was already filled with anger: "Lin Qi!"

Lin Qi couldn't aim again. At first he wanted to kick Xu Rui's stomach, but he hit Xu Rui's face with too much force. Seeing Xu Rui's nosebleed dripping down his chin made him feel a bit guilty, but he After all, he was too arrogant and spoiled. After all, he also hurt his classmates in school, and he was finally settled by his mother.

Xu Rui is just a child of the driver's family adopted by his uncle, so what can be done with him.

When Xu Rui was hit on the face by the ball, he didn't react. His entire face was numb. A second later, he began to feel severe pain from his nose. The soreness directly stimulated him to bleed out a lot. Physiological tears.

When Lin Zhi found the back courtyard, he saw Xu Rui's face blurred with blood and tears.

Xu Rui looked down and saw the blood dripping from the ground, falling on the lawn, he cried out in panic, and saw Lin's pheasant appearing indistinctly in front of him.

The children around saw Lin Pheasant coming, and even Lin Qi didn't look as proud as before, and those who were holding onto Xu Rui also let go, staying away from Xu Rui who was crying with his face up.

Tao Chenyi used to play with Lin Zhi when they were young, now when he saw Lin Zhi coming, he greeted Lin Zhi again.

There was a lot of commotion here, Lin Zhi asked a maid to take Xu Rui to deal with it, because Xu Rui's nose was still bleeding.

When Lin Zhi came over, no one noticed anything wrong, he even greeted Tao Chenyi with a smile, even the group of children with Lin Qi breathed a sigh of relief.

As they thought, Xu Rui was just a child of the driver's family of the Lin family, and Lin Zhi would not make trouble with everyone because of such a trivial matter. It is normal for children to fight and bump into each other, maybe Lin Zhi is at home Bullying this little mute is better than anyone else, and what they might do may be in the hands of Lin Zhi.

Xu Rui looked at Lin Zhi passing by him as if he hadn't seen him, without squinting, completely ignoring his own misery, and only let people take him away, as if crying in front of so many people was embarrassing and an eyesore.

Xu Rui's tears flowed even more fiercely.

At this time, everyone on the lawn in the backyard of Lin's family under the sun did not expect what Lin Pheasant, who walked over with a smile, walked to the courtyard tea table and picked up a wooden, bamboo and rattan chair, what he was going to do.

Even Lin Qi belatedly recalled his mother's instructions to him, he stuttered to greet his elder brother, and just called out: "Brother..."

In the next moment, Lin Zhi's inexplicable move to bring over the wooden, bamboo and rattan chair was explained. The chair directly fell on Lin Qi's head.

Xu Rui, who had already been led out of the back courtyard, turned his head suddenly at this time, seeing the bloody scene not far away, the children around were all frightened, and after a pause for a few seconds, they all burst into sharp screams Scattered and ran away.

Even Tao Chenyi was so frightened that his face turned blue, but only Lin Zhi seemed to be calm, Lin Qi had already fallen to the ground, and he still wanted to hit him on the head a second time without giving up.

If things go on like this, maybe someone will die, or Lin Qi will be smashed and become mentally retarded for the rest of his life.

Tao Chenyi reached out and grabbed Lin Zhi's wrist, and many people rushed over at this time.

Xu Rui saw a lot of blood pouring out on the ground, much more than what he had just now. Xu Rui cried in pain when he was hit by the ball, but Lin Qi fell to the ground and only yelled once before making any more sound. .

Xu Rui's pupils suddenly constricted, his eyes widened, he was so frightened that he forgot to cry, he just froze his head and stared blankly at Lin Zhi who was splashed with blood on his cheek.

Lin Zhi didn't have any expression on his face, he looked as focused as he was explaining to Xu Rui a problem that Xu Rui couldn't solve.

An indescribable fear welled up in Xu Rui's heart, and the maid beside him covered her trembling hands with tears in her eyes.

Xu Rui didn't know how to solve the matter that day. He felt scared, and more of it was self-blame and guilt. If only he hadn't been curious to see the group of children, if he hadn't accidentally let the ball roll Go out and the boy won't get tripped or hit him with a ball.

The pheasant would not have smashed his head.

The boy lost a lot of blood, will he die.

This is really a scary word. Xu Rui is a child who has experienced the death of his relatives. He knows that after death, he will disappear, just like his father, no matter how many times he cries and calls silently And wait, he won't even look at himself again.

Not to mention Xu Rui who is too timid by nature, even other ordinary children would have nightmares if they saw that scene today if they couldn't keep it together at night.

No matter how Xu Rui tried to hide, he didn't have his own bedroom, so no matter how scared he was, he would hide in his and Lin Zhi's room.

Lin Zhi, who had just returned to the second floor at night and experienced a day of trivial matters that bored him, was still puzzled when he found Xu Rui curled up under the bed.

Xu Rui didn't know how long he had been here under the bed, but he fell asleep in fear.

Hearing footsteps at this moment, as soon as he opened his eyes, he saw the face of the forest pheasant who bent down and lifted the sheet, looking at him.

Xu Rui shrank back suddenly as if frightened, and let out a short scream from his mouth, as if he saw some monster staring at him.

Lin Zhi seemed to be very puzzled by his evasive movements and frightened expression in the face of him. He tilted his head and asked Xu Rui with some doubts: "Afraid of me?" His eyeballs moved a bit: "Why? Avenge you."
