blazing fire

After half a month, Yuan Yu's father has calmed down.

These days, this man has aged a lot. He was sitting at home smoking a cigarette he rolled himself, watching Yuan Yu follow his mother in, the man raised his eyelids and asked, "Where is your sister going?"

Yuan Yu clutched his schoolbag belt—this schoolbag was insisted on by Cheng Zhuo to buy him later—and asked vigilantly, "Do you believe what I say?"

His mother was smoothing things over: "Your father asked someone to go to the town to inquire about it. It was a bit of a gossip. Anyway, now... your sister has run away, and it is impossible for that family to marry us again. See if you can call your sister Are you coming back?"

His father said: "The work at home cannot be done without anyone."

"I'll just do it." Yuan Yu pursed his lips, "I can't get in touch with my sister, and she doesn't have a phone number."

At the beginning, he was worried, but Cheng Zhuo said that since Yuan Yun has his number, he will definitely find a way to contact this place when his life is stable.

Even if she doesn't contact her father, she still has her mother and brother here, so Yuan Yu can rest assured.

Yuan Yu understood his sister's temper, so she didn't ask afterward, because she really didn't know Yuan Yun's current situation.But when his father heard this sentence, his face immediately changed: "You still don't want to talk properly, do you?"

Yuan Yu pursed his lower lip and poked his neck.He thought it over, if his father hit him again, he would run away immediately.

He felt sorry for Cheng Zhuo's money, and also wanted to see Cheng Zhuo. Running out was much more comfortable than staying at home.

"...His father." Yuan Yu's mother persuaded her, then patted Yuan Yu's head, "Xiao Yu, please speak carefully."

"I really couldn't get in touch with my sister," Yuan Yu said honestly, "and I didn't send her to the station that day."

"She went by herself?"

Yuan Yu didn't answer: "I sent her to the bus."

Father Yuan Yu frowned deeply and watched him for a long time.

The low air pressure spread in the house, and he suddenly asked, "When will you take the exam?"

Yuan Yu was stunned: "Next month...in."

"It's still more than half a month." His father said, "Will you be on leave after the exam?"

"……Maybe."

"It's good, come back to work early after vacation. You can do your sister's work together, and I don't care about the other things." His father stood up on the table and limped into the house, "I Don't read it in the second half of the year, I don't care."

"..." Yuan Yu wanted to speak but couldn't. He bit his lip suddenly, and his face lost all color.

His father entered the house, and the lobby fell silent.

Yuan Yu's mother hadn't finished her meal yet, she just wanted to get busy, noticed her son's expression, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"

Yuan Yu squeezed the strap of her schoolbag, and squeezed out the words from between her teeth: "It doesn't mean that you finish your sophomore year in high school—"

His mother sighed: "Xiao Yu, you know what's going on at home, but I really can't afford you to go to college. Your father said yesterday that you won't go to college anyway, and there will be too much work at home, so I might as well tell you not to go to college."

When Yuan Yun ran away, he lost a labor force, and the life at home would only get worse.

Yuan Yu doesn't regret persuading his sister to run away, even though he may lose even the chance to be a sophomore in high school.

"Mom knows you love to learn, so I'll talk to your dad about this later. Don't worry, ah. Mom will cook first." Yuan Yu's mother patted her son reassuringly, and before leaving, she suddenly asked, "What are you doing?" Where did the schoolbag come from?"

"From a friend."

"Just that doll from the Cheng family?"

"Yeah." Yuan Yu didn't hide it from his mother.

"Such a good schoolbag," his mother touched the bag, "won't he want it?"

Yuan Yu didn't have the nerve to say that Cheng Zhuo bought it specially, so he let out a "huh".Fortunately, his mother was kind enough to know that the son of the Cheng family who had gone outside was rich, so she let him go without asking.

In this family, even taking a schoolbag home has to be fearful, and the days can be seen at a glance.

In this world, there are people like Cheng Zhuo who are able to learn but don't want to, and there are also people like him who want to but can't.He is not jealous of Cheng Zhuo, he just finds the world very interesting occasionally.

But this home is really boring.

He still wants to go to school, he wants to go to school, he wants to live a different life.

Father is not willing to support him to go to school anymore, so he will find a way by himself.

Yuan Yu pursed her lower lip and made a decision in her heart.

……

After Yuan Yu came home, Cheng Zhuo's life trajectory seemed to be back to the way it was before.

The little boyfriend has to go to school and work. He is a "out-of-school youth" with nothing to do, and he seems to have nothing else to do except report to the Internet cafe in the town every day.

Going to the Internet cafe is at least a "comrade-in-arms" who spends his days playing games like him, so it won't be too boring.

But within a few days, this "comrade-in-arms" told Cheng Zhuo that he had a business to run after a while, and he might not be with Yang Huai for a few months.

Cheng Zhuo finally realized that he was the only one who really had nothing to do in this world.

A sudden emptiness was felt.

The whole human body is like a movable corpse, empty from inside to outside—it doesn't know what to do, and existence itself seems meaningless.

At such times, he especially missed Yuan Yu, and missed Yuan Yu's vivid response under his teasing, which made him feel his own existence in a disguised form.However, Yuan Yu was really busy after returning home, and seemed to be getting busier, and he didn't have much time to sneak out to accompany him.

"Cheng Zhuo? Cheng Zhuo! Hey!"

A hand waved past Cheng Zhuo's eyes, and Cheng Zhuo suddenly came back to his senses, and found that it was Snake Skin calling him.

"What are you thinking about? So engrossed, the characters are all dead." Shepi laughed at him.

Only then did Cheng Zhuo realize that his game interface was already pitch black. He clicked to release the corpse, and asked slowly, "Why are you calling me?"

"Should we go for dinner? It's noon."

"Go." Cheng Zhuo didn't ask what snakeskins eat when he had money.

But before leaving, he wanted to pick up the corpse first, so Shepi sat down and waited for him.

"What were you thinking just now?" Shepi asked again.

"I'm thinking about what I can do after you go out for business," Cheng Zhuo said, "Honestly speaking, Yang Huai is quite boring."

Shepi was stunned for a moment, and then smiled crookedly: "Go home if you can't think of anything to do! Brother, you don't really think of yourself as a person here, do you? Go back, give in to your father, and then go back to school. After a while, the children will be on summer vacation, and you can just catch up with the new semester when you go back."

"Why do you all persuade me to go back to school..."

"Then why not, do you want to start society as early as your brother?" Shepi felt his mouth itch and wanted to smoke, "Forget it, society is so easy to run, I still want to go back to study now."

"But my dad, it's really boring to be soft with him." Cheng Zhuo retrieved the corpse, revived, and then began to grind the hearthstone back to the city, "I'll think about it again."

Shepi said that the summer vacation reminded him——summer vacation, maybe Yuan Yu would have a little more time to spend time with him.

It was still early spring when I came here, and the weather became hot before I knew it. Occasionally, the air conditioner in the Internet cafe had already started to turn on.This is Cheng Zhuo's third month in Yanghuai, it is almost over, and he is getting bored.

It seems that only when chatting with Shepi for a few days, or hanging out with Yuan Yu, will life be more interesting.

Let's wait until the summer vacation is over.

...Stay with Yuan Yu for a while longer.

After returning to the city, the game was offline, Cheng Zhuo collected his things, and left the Internet cafe with Shepi.

Today, the "little brother" had dinner together just the two of them, and the rest was either to watch the store or to settle accounts, and the more frustrating one was to help the family with work, but they didn't come anyway.

Everyone looks very busy, Cheng Zhuo thought of this, raised his eyelids and glanced at the street he passed by - sweet potato sellers, haircutters, delivery cars in electric tricycles... the people on the street, Each of them has their own things to do, Cheng Zhuo squeezed his knuckles, and suddenly sighed silently.

The burnout period is coming, and I feel tired of watching everything, which is not the same as the state of feeling bored when I first came here.

Shepi didn't pay attention to his frustration, and several people chatted and laughed, and went to the old place to eat.

This food stall is not far from the Internet cafe, but because of the road planning, it takes a long detour to walk seriously.But the wisdom of the people is endless, and every time they walk through an alley between abandoned buildings.

Except for the old neighbors nearby, almost no one knows about this road, and it is rare to meet a living person.

However, today, when they came back after eating, there was an unprecedented crowd of people in the alley.At a glance, there are at least a dozen of them.

The man in the lead was quite tall, neither fat nor thin, wearing a big gold chain, with an extremely short cropped hairline and a receding hairline.

Cheng Zhuo had never seen this person before, so he glanced at the snake skin and found that the expressions of him and his two younger brothers were all down.

"Long time no see, Shepi." The man greeted first, and said with a smile, "You look good, it seems that the past few years have been going well."

"You look good too, you're much healthier." Shepi said with a serious face, "bald."

Shaved?

He had just heard this story a while ago, and Cheng Zhuo hadn't forgotten it yet.In the story, this bald man with a round waist and a full face is full of flesh, but when I saw him today... his figure is actually quite well-proportioned, with a medium to slightly fat body.

Is it because I can’t eat well in it and the labor intensity is high, so I lost weight?

Isn't the sentence of snake skin very ironic?

Sure enough, the bald face darkened for a moment, but soon returned to the half-smile expression, and said eccentrically, "I heard that you have become a big boss now? Look, your words will immediately become polite."

The people he brought laughed in unison.

The bald head continued: "The big boss and nobleman forget things so much, I don't know if you still remember the things that we didn't settle back then?"

Shepi frowned: "How many years has it been? If you want a site, I'll give it to you. Can we leave?"

"Hehe! Look! When you become a boss, your speech is magnificent!" The bald head applauded, and said to the people he brought, "Our Master Pi doesn't care about these things now! It doesn't matter if you give them to us!"

"What do you want?"

"How, what, how—?" The bald head sneered, "Snakepi, I've been in there for so many years, now you ask me what I want?"

One of Shepi's younger brothers couldn't help it: "Then you didn't go in because of Master Pi!"

"Little Four." Shepi said softly, "Shut up."

Another younger brother came over and pulled Cheng Zhuo's sleeve, and whispered in his ear: "This matter has nothing to do with you. If there is a fight in a while, you should run away first. If you still have a conscience, please go to the lobster shop to give it to me." He sent a letter—do you know where the lobster shop is?"

Lobster is also one of Shepi's younger brothers. He opened a car wash shop in the town and repairs cars part-time.

"I know, I know," Cheng Zhuo said, pointing behind him, "I just can't run away."

The direction they came from did not know when four or five people came in, the number was not many, but the problem was that there were four of them in total, and there was Cheng Zhuo who could not be counted as combat power, so the situation was very bad.

The little brother hurriedly reminded Shepi, Shepi looked back, lowered his head and thought for a while, then looked at the bald head after a while.

"Let's make a condition." Shepi said, "I'm just a few people, and I don't like it when I fight. Besides, I really don't fight with people very much these years, and I don't want to do it. If you want to beat me up, Then let's make an appointment one-on-one at a time and place, and I can beat you up; or another way, I know you have just been released from prison, life must be sad, I have made some money in the past few years, not too much, you can Make a price for me to bleed, so that you can also get some benefits. What do you think?"

The bald head let out a short "ha": "Begging for mercy before you start the fight? All right, Shepi, you are all soft bones now. It's a pity, I just want you to bleed a little today, and I don't want to choose anything else."

As these words fell, the people he brought took out things, such as steel pipes, long sticks... Seeing this, Shepi sneered and said: "You don't even talk about the rules of the world now. I am unarmed here. Are you fighting with me?"

"I've been in there once, do you think I still care about this?"

"Oh," Shepi nodded, "All right."

The younger brother who had just whispered to Cheng Zhuo moved over again: "For a while, try to hide as much as possible, protect yourself, and don't do anything! Thousands, thousands."

Cheng Zhuo: "?"

"You don't have a criminal record, so don't get involved." The younger brother patted him, "Be obedient."

"..."

How should I put it, Cheng Zhuo's mood was quite complicated at that time. The first complicated point was that he always thought that Shepi was an arrogant person, but he didn't expect to be subdued so quickly today; the second is now, he really didn't expect a group of people watching Someone like a gangster can tell him something so clear-headed.

The first reaction was that he made this group of friends.

It's a friend, not a wine and meat friend, not a playmate.

Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a figure walking towards the snake skin, a cold light flashed in his hand, Cheng Zhuo didn't think too much about it at the time, he touched something from the hole in the wall of the abandoned building next to him and threw it at him——

boom!Boom!

"Stop him!" More than a dozen people cheered and surrounded him.

Cheng Zhuo got into the abandoned building after beating, and several people from the opposite side wanted to come in to chase him, but they were blocked by Shepi's younger brother.At this time, Cheng Zhuo understood how the boss of Shepi became the boss—he looked thin and thin, but his figure was very flexible. He dodged the iron bars thrown by two or three people, and kicked him backwards, stepping on his wrist He snatched the iron rod, then swung it around, hurt another one, and took another one.

The scene was very chaotic for a while, because both sides fought fiercely because of the blood.It was the first time for Cheng Zhuo to see this kind of scene, he was not afraid, it was only later that he realized that he had just punched someone in the head and bled.

I don't know if that person is still alive.

A forearm-long gun fell on the ground, and was kicked into the abandoned building by the snake skin.Not long after, Cheng Zhuo heard the noise outside and the sound of police sirens.

"Don't move at all!"
