one punch

A word to wake up the dreamer.

Dou Tianxiao was stunned.

He really didn't think about this problem. When it comes to boxing, he just got into the corner, just like a person who is deeply involved in pyramid schemes, thinking that it is the only way to save himself and his family from the dire straits.

He now also feels that he was quite stupid at the time. If something happened to him, his uncle's family would be very sad...

Especially grandpa, who is so old and can't stand the excitement.

"Xiaoxiao, I can understand the feeling of wanting to help them, but there must be a bottom line in life." Jiang Ran looked into his eyes, "This is a sentence my dad often told me, 'One must have a bottom line in life, what is the bottom line? Bottom line, the law is the last bottom line', I believe your starting point is good, but I don't agree with your approach, you fight black boxing, take your own life, put it on the ring for others to bet on, super hero Isn't it? It's amazing to win money, isn't it?"

Dou Tianxiao really wanted to refute, but he held back after all, Jiang Ran's mouth was too strong, he couldn't say it.

Besides, Jiang Ran was right.

Only when we get out of that trap can we see clearly.

bet.

It was wrong from the start.

"If the police don't show up in time, you, me, and Yu Qingji, we won't be able to escape." Jiang Ran said.

Dou Tianxiao raised his head and saw that Jiang Ran's eye circles were slightly red, and the red blood on the eyeballs was clearly visible. He wondered if he didn't sleep well at night.

"Brother." He gently grabbed Jiang Ran's sweater with his gauze-wrapped left hand, and apologized softly, "I dare not."

"Don't you dare?" Jiang Ran sneered, lowered his body a little, his eyes were cold, and his breath became more aggressive, "I think you are very courageous. It has been almost a month since the first competition. We've talked so many times, and I've also asked you who that Shamat is, why don't you tell me the truth? How long can you hide it from me?"

Dou Tianxiao didn't know what to say.

I can't say it because I think you don't like me and I'm afraid to talk to you.

How embarrassing.

"Do you still think of me as your brother?" Jiang Ran asked, frowning.

This question confused Dou Tianxiao again.

brother……

They must still be brothers, but in my heart, I want to put aside the relationship between brothers and stay by Jiang Ran's side in another capacity.

He was about to cry, but he couldn't hold back any more.

But Jiang Ran was stabbed to pieces by his hesitation.

He looked into Dou Tianxiao's eyes and slowed down his speech, "Ye Xi knew about this matter, and Yu Qingji also knew about it, even he took me to the manor, and I, like a bastard, ran away When I went to the gym to find you, I thought you..."

Dou Tianxiao blinked his eyes, and finally sorted out the clues in this series of questioning, "So, you are very angry because I didn't tell you?"

"No." Jiang Ran sighed, sat back on the edge of the bed, and looked at the disposable water cup beside the bed.

He didn't know what the hell he was messing with.

For a while, there were too many doubts, which made him restless and restless.

He thought that after a long time, those unexplained anxiety would disappear, but he found that it didn't.

They just lay in front of him like this, taking up all his spare time and sleeping time, not to mention trying to grab his full attention.

Born at sunrise, never ending at sunset.

He is tangled, depressed.

The more he thought about it, the more lingering those thoughts became. He had never encountered such an annoying thing in his life.

And there were many sources of his annoyance.

Dou Tianxiao has a new friend.

Dou Tianxiao seems to have a crush.

Dou Tianxiao has a lot of little secrets, and he is no longer willing to share them with him.

Dou Tianxiao doesn't need him anymore.

He had to hint to himself countless times every night that Dou Tianxiao was not his toy, nor was he Xiaotu, who could be kept on a dog chain.

He has his own preferences, his freedom, and he has the right to like anyone.

But why are you upset...

An unbearable unhappiness.

He didn't want to admit that he was being mean, but he couldn't control his thoughts and actions, and even went to the gym to block Dou Tianxiao.

He also didn't want to admit that when Yu Qingji first revealed the location of the manor, his heart was filled with jealousy.

He felt that what he had done these days was no longer himself.

In the end, he felt that he needed to calm down, pointed to the dumplings and said, "Do you still want to eat?"

How could Dou Tianxiao dare to say no, and he didn't dare to let Jiang Ran feed him. He barely sat up, but Jiang Ran had already fed the dumpling to his mouth.

"Open your mouth, are you still waiting for me to pry it open?" Jiang Ran looked at him.

Pry open...

Dou Tianxiao couldn't help but think of the failed forced kiss at Jiang Ran's house last time, and he was inexplicably ashamed, and his face turned blue and red.

Jiang Ran took another mouthful of soup and fed it.

When Dou Tianxiao ate, he always lowered his head and stared at the lunch box very seriously, as if he was afraid of being robbed of the food by others.

Eyelashes were watery from the heat from the bowl.

It reminded him of Xiaotu.

Dou Tianxiao’s cell phone screen saver is a photo of Xiaotu. When he picked it up, he was thin and small, with a Chinese cabbage leaf he found somewhere in his mouth, squatting with his head tilted in front of the camera, docile, obedient and friendly. Clingy, exactly the same as Dou Tianxiao when he was a child.

In more than half a year, Xiaotu has grown into a medium-sized dog weighing more than 60 kilograms. If it is not mixed with the genes of the pastoral dog, maybe it can grow a little bit taller.

I don't know when, Xiaotu started to learn to fight. In order to fight for a bone, he fought with other mad dogs. His back and calf were torn off. It was horrible, and he often ran out to spend the night with other dogs. .

Became... less willing to listen.

The same is true for Dou Tianxiao, his ruthlessness and stubbornness have become more and more prominent in the years of tempering, and he likes to hide himself more and more.

He hoped that Dou Tianxiao could go back to being a child, obedient, a little one, who loved to wrap around his legs and turn his belly when he was free.

Dou Tianxiao found that Jiang Ran had been in a daze for a long time, so he couldn't help poking the back of his hand, "Brother..."

Only then did Jiang Ran withdraw his thoughts and turn his gaze back to the dumplings.

His action of feeding was rough and simple. He poked the dumpling into his mouth, then quickly pulled it out. Before Dou Tianxiao could swallow it, he poked it in again. ah?"

In the eyes of outsiders, he is particularly unwilling, like the kind of unfilial son who can't resist the condemnation of moral public opinion and reluctantly goes home to take care of his sick old father.

But Dou Tianxiao was very happy.

It's been a long time since Jiang Ran pointed at her nose and scolded her...

It still has the familiar taste of the original recipe.

After eating a bowl of dumplings, Dou Tianxiao felt much better in his stomach. Jiang Ran wiped his mouth for him, laid the bed flat, and finally added a few warnings: "In the future, where are you going and who are you going to play with?" , you have to report to me in advance, if I catch it again..."

"How is it?" Dou Tianxiao looked at him.

Jiang Ran narrowed his eyes, "What? If the punishment is not serious, are you still going to challenge it?"

"Of course not." Dou Tianxiao swears immediately, "If I punch black again in the future, I will jump off this building!"

Jiang Ran was very disdainful, "This is the second floor."

Dou Tianxiao said: "Then jump from the twentieth floor."

"Oh, there's one more thing I want to ask you." Jiang Ran put his hands on his knees and turned his back to him.

"Ah?" Dou Tianxiao looked at his profile.

The setting sun outside the window was right at the head of the bed, a little dazzling, Jiang Ran had been blocking it just now, so I didn't feel it, now Dou Tianxiao is half-squinting his eyes to adapt to the light.

The sun cast a soft light on Jiang Ran's face, and his ears looked red, which completely weakened the aggressiveness of this face.

"I remember last time, you told me about that, about bamboo horses..." His brows and eyes were lowered, as if he was brewing emotions.

At this moment, Ye Xi suddenly pushed open the door and waved at Dou Tianxiao, "Hurry up, hurry up! Lie down and pretend to be dead!"

Jiang Ran's emotions were halfway through brewing before he came back to his senses, when he heard a familiar loud voice coming from the corridor.

"He has no skin and face since he was a child, and he has great abilities. When he told me about the car accident last time, I felt that something was wrong. In the end, he really went to fight! I am too busy to take care of him recently. There is a saying, Give him a pole that can move the entire earth. Now I feel that this needs to be revised. Give him a pole and he can mess up the entire universe! If I had known earlier, I should have bought a house next to the hospital, and it was closer to walk around. ——Oh, my legs are sore from walking, I must boil this dead pig today!"

The aunt's voice came from far to near, and when Dou Tianxiao heard it, he got into bed and closed his eyes in fright.

Jiang Ran quickly threw the bowls and chopsticks into the trash can and stood aside.

Ye Xi locked the door and sat on the head of the bed with a sad expression.

"Sister, don't get excited, don't get excited, talk carefully, the child is injured after all." Jiang Qing quickened her pace and chased after her.

My aunt opened the door and saw that the person was still lying down, feeling a little disappointed, "You haven't woken up yet?"

"Ah?" Ye Xi glanced at the quilt, "Ah, no."

"Then I'll ask the doctor why I'm still awake." My aunt turned to leave, but was stopped by Ye Xi.

"What are you asking? He's dreaming. What's the use of asking someone's doctor? You can't wake him up from a dream."

Jiang Ran: "It's Auntie. He probably didn't dare to wake up because he was afraid of being scolded when he woke up. If you don't scold him, he might wake up soon..."

Seeing the two children's evasive expressions, the aunt lifted the quilt suspiciously and grabbed Dou Tianxiao by the ears.

The kind of twisting twist.

With a mournful howl, Jiang Ran and Ye Xi supported their foreheads at the same time.

It was past eight o'clock in the evening when Jiang Ran returned home.

Regarding the boxing match, they selectively forgot the part about calling the police and fleeing, tampered with the location of the match, and concealed the huge economic criminal organization behind the boxing match.

Fortunately, my aunt is not very educated, she believes what she says, and there is almost no other place to intervene except for "ouch", "ahhhhh" and "tsk tut".

In the end, all the blame fell on a leaflet stuck at the entrance of the gym.

"They're all liars! Those who engage in competitions just want to cheat money!" My aunt said angrily.

But this matter cannot be hidden from my father.

When Wang Yingsong first received an anonymous report call, the other party said that a female college student was imprisoned and forced to have sex. The place was Banshan Manor.

This place is not within his jurisdiction, so he felt a little strange. What the other party said was serious, so he immediately called the relevant person in charge of the jurisdiction to investigate.

The policeman on duty in the jurisdiction said that the area over there is full of rich people, and there are often patrols, so there will be no problems, so he doesn't have to worry too much, but Wang Yingsong still has a deeper meaning based on his many years of professional experience—that is, Basically no one cares.

Wang Yingsong had already left work when he received the report, but he still took a few people there with concern.

Facing the temporary inspection, the people in the manor were quite cooperative, and there was no problem with the ID card, but when he looked up, he saw two fat men walking in another direction in a hurry.

Wang Yingsong has been handling cases for decades, and he has never seen anyone. He has seen the most people with a guilty conscience, and he basically knows what shit the other party is going to do when he pushes his ass.

The sentence "Stop, it's just you, why run?" instantly turned this dirty place into a pot of miscellaneous bean porridge.

Seeing that the situation was not right, Wang Yingsong immediately called the team. The local police station dispatched police force first, but found that it was far from enough. The upstairs and downstairs were full of gambling houses, and they mobilized a large number of police forces from various departments in the urban area to block the mountain road.

Dou Tianxiao and the others were able to escape this catastrophe thanks to Qingji's good driving skills, and they would have been arrested and interrogated if they were a few minutes later.

This case was too huge, and it involved many local government officials. They worked hard all day and all night without stopping, and the police station's phone was ringing off the hook.

When Wang Yingsong saw his son coming home, he pulled him into his study, "Then you made the report call, right? Call the police and call my cell phone, you are fine."

"I'm afraid that others will not be as responsible as you." Jiang Ran said.

Wang Yingsong: "Why don't you think that the area is not under my jurisdiction, what would I do if I didn't go there?"

"I didn't know it was a big casino when I called the police. I thought that as long as I could calm down those people, how many people were arrested this time?" Jiang Ran asked.

"This has nothing to do with you." Wang Yingsong looked at him, "Tell me honestly, does this have something to do with Xiaoxiao's injury?"

With his head down, Jiang Ran gave his father a rough overview of the ins and outs.

Wang Yingsong gritted his back molars, "You guys are too fat! You are too fat!"

"Then how to deal with this matter?" Jiang Ran asked.

"This matter is out of my control. It has been handed over to the Longtan Squadron for handling. I heard that most of the materials have been burned. I guess it will be difficult to check. A few big heads ran away, and the ones caught were all unknown. Yes, you have to release it for a while." Wang Yingsong lit a cigarette, "I said you two don't have a good relationship usually, why let him fight black fists!"

"The legs are on his body, can I tie him up?" Jiang Ran said.

"A [-]-word review." Wang Yingsong pointed to his nose, "And Xiaoxiao, you two together."

Jiang Ran: "Five thousand per person?"

Wang Yingsong: "A [-]-word self-criticism each! Copy the core values ​​of socialism a thousand times, get up every morning and go to the side of the road to help the sanitation workers sweep up the trash, until three months have passed."

Jiang Ran: "..."

After washing and laying down on the bed, he remembered that there was still no clear answer to the question about that bamboo horse.

He lay on the window sill, looking at the crescent moon in the night, it was tall and bright, and the night sky was covered with stars.

He had been observing the night sky this way for a long time.

Only when Dou Tianxiao was around, would he be dragged to look at the stars and the moon.

It's boring, but one thing that's especially calming to the mind.

"You didn't wash your feet, you didn't wash your feet, you're so lazy!"

"Wrong, wrong, wrong, ouch..."

Mom's voice sounded outside the door, sounding like she was kicking dad out of the room.

Jiang Ran laughed.

Immediately afterwards, the sound of water being drained from the bathroom was heard, and after a while, the door was opened and closed.

He didn't need to look to imagine his father being beaten out of the room with a resentful face soaking his feet, and when he pushed the door, he would definitely change into another flattering look.

The life of my parents has been like a day for ten years, and they start to dislike each other when they touch each other twice, making noise, but they will reconcile soon.

They have become more compatible in the process of getting along day after day. The test of time has made them know each other's living habits well, and they are also full of trust, understanding and consideration.

While changing myself, I also changed the other person, in order to hope that this family can become better.

No matter whether it is work or life, you can talk to each other calmly, trust each other completely, supervise each other, encourage each other, and rely on each other...

This is probably what love looks like in the end.

Very trivial, very ordinary daily life, but happy.

It suddenly occurred to him that when he was a child, in the summer, he would often sit on the balcony with Dou Tianxiao and count the stars. There was a mat on the floor. a watermelon.

You take a spoonful, I take a spoonful, tacitly follow the other person's words, as if there is always something to say.

I want to talk slowly for the rest of my life.

He didn't know Dou Tianxiao's answer, but the voice in his heart became clearer and clearer.

Those who are excited, moved, worried, irritable, anxious, depressed...

All kinds of emotions are produced because of one person.

He hopes that person can live well.

But that person is very easy to be satisfied, and he will rush to hug him because of a box of strawberries. It is very uncomfortable to think that he will rush to hug others because of a box of strawberries.

That person is very naive, he will believe what others say, which is really worrying.

That person has a pure heart. The wild dog picked up by the roadside said that he would take care of it for the rest of his life. What if others don't like dogs?

That person is very brave and will do everything for his family. What if others can't bear it and can't understand his willfulness?

After thinking about it, Jiang Ran didn't think there would be another person in the world who knew better than him and was more suitable for Dou Tianxiao.

Because I participated in his past and present.

Dou Tianxiao is very important to him, so important that he wants to let him participate in the rest of his life.

He wanted to see Dou Tianxiao's smiling face as soon as he got home, watch him pouring delicious food in the kitchen, watch TV next to him, gnaw duck necks, and listen to his smirk with his neck up...

Isn't that what married life is like...

Find a most suitable partner and spend the rest of your life together.

What about Dou Tianxiao?

Hey……

let it go.

Jiang Ran was about to set the alarm clock for tomorrow morning, when he saw the penguin icon flashing on his phone.

Cumin Peas: Brother, thank you for what happened last night.

A ball of fire: Don't cause trouble, I thank you.

"Hey? Are you really going to post like this? Isn't it a little disgusting?" Ye Xi said while holding Dou Tianxiao's cell phone.

"Then you give it back to me, and I'll send it myself." Dou Tianxiao stretched out his bandaged left hand.

Ye Xi lowered his head and poked on the keyboard, Dou Tianxiao thought about it carefully, felt ashamed for a while, and then regretted: "Hey, let's forget it, just say goodnight to him."

"It's too late..." Ye Xi shook the screen, "I've already gone out."

After seeing those two sentences on the screen, Dou Tianxiao's ears turned red.

Jiang Ran's cell phone vibrated.

-Youaremyhero.

-Forever.

In fact, what Dou Tianxiao wanted him to post was "You will always be my idol". The English expression is not so nasty but also very advanced. Who would have thought that Ye Xi's English level would stay at the elementary school stage. A more nasty past.

That night, the hero not only sprained his feet on the flat ground, but also knocked out a big bag on his forehead on the door frame.
