Great heat is approaching

There are many thunderstorms in this season, which come quickly and in a hurry. The sky has heavy shadows, not like foggy blue, but gray. In Chinese paintings, thick ink is dripping on the boundless canvas. dripping.

The wind was also strong, and the branches rustled and patted each other's shoulders. The ground was wet and the soil was steaming.

Wu Zi likes rain.

When she was a child, when the rain came, she would take advantage of her aunt not paying attention, hold a small umbrella, and play with bare feet in the yard by treading water.

But right now, it's a little out of date.

Wu Zi pushed the gate with one hand and took Xiang Xia with the other. She turned around and asked, "Are you still going? I'm afraid it will rain."

The wind blew in along the open door, and Xiangxia's black hair hanging on her shoulders rose in the air, revealing her white earlobes, her bony fingertips pinned her hair behind her ears, and her lazy voice sounded, "Go Bar"

"When it rains, go home"

Of course Wu Zi had no objection.

She loves rain, even before it rains, the wind, the watery air, the swaying leaves, and the low clouds.

The gravel road is very spacious, about a few meters long, and the two of them walked side by side, walking in unison, aimlessly.

Small talk seemed most appropriate at this time.

I don't know how to talk about the wedding.

Who started it, I don't know.

But they all felt normal, Xiang Xia talked about the location, and Wu Zi talked about the style of the wedding dress.

Finally, we chatted and talked about the style of the ring.

The two agreed.

Depends on who sent it.

There is a fountain surrounded by half steps on the path, and the water column falls from top to bottom, hitting the surface, splashing water regularly.

Gradually, the water splashes became more and more, one by one, hitting the face, Wu Zi raised his head to look at the sky.

It was raining, and the rain was very small, as thin as a needle thread.

The palms of his hands were pinched, like a preview, Wu Zi was pulled forward in a big step in the next second.

Xiang Xia walked in front, her ebony black hair carried the fragrance after bathing, blowing along the wind to the tip of Wu Zi's heart, trembling and speeding up.

Wu Zi shook his head and said with a smile: "Sister, you can walk very fast now."

Rain tends to increase.

Xiang Xia turned her head and glared at her lightly: "You just finished washing your hair."

It really is.

Wu Zi was taken aback for a moment, and then laughed lowly, feeling that Xiang Xia's appearance was a bit cute, and he wanted to endure it, but he couldn't.

The distance between the building and the building in the community is relatively far, and it is impossible to run back now, so I can only hide under the eaves next to it.

The rain on this day usually doesn't last long.

I ran fast just now, and I didn't get any water droplets on my clothes.

I don't know if the sensor light in Building A is broken. The light flickered and then turned off.

Wu Zi heard Xiang Xia ask, "Is it cold?"

She was wearing a short sleeve made of clear chiffon, and the exposed arm was indeed a bit cold.

Before she could answer, her waist was slowly wrapped around her, and Xiang Xia hugged her from the front.

Thunder flashed.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!" sounded from the horizon.

Wu Zi stretched from her chest to her eardrums, her heartbeat was as loud as thunder, she licked her lips, her embraced hand rose slightly, and gently hugged Xiang Xia's waist: "The wind is so strong!"

She said this nonsensically, as if defending her actions just now.

The corners of Xiang Xia's lips curled up, and she said softly, "Mmm."

Sparse voices came from the side. There was no light in the first place, so the sound was particularly obvious.

Wu Zi narrowed his eyes and pulled Xiang Xia behind him, "Who's there?"

No one spoke.

In the shadowed corner on the other side of the eaves, something seems to be huddled?

Looking at the outline, it looks a bit like a human being, short in stature.

"Stand back." Wu Zi whispered to her, took out his phone, and turned on the flash to take a picture.

An eight or nine-year-old child was carrying a schoolbag, standing timidly in a corner, with a big forehead and big eyes, taking up most of his face.

Her feet were stained with dirt, and her knees were still bloodshot. The light was too strong, and she covered her eyes with one hand.

Wu Zi hurriedly turned off the light, leaving only the display screen on. The girl let go of her hands, holding her schoolbag tightly with both hands, and did not speak.

"Did you get lost?"

The child looked at Wu Zi, hesitated, and shook his head: "No."

Wu Zi: "Where is your family?"

Seeing the bruises on the child's knees, she felt something was wrong, so she asked one more question and walked towards her.

Wu Zi's voice is very soft, which makes people like her at first sight. She has always been very popular with children. Occasionally when she goes out to eat, the children at the next table will stare at her and smile. They had no choice but to smile embarrassedly at Wu Zi.

The child's expression relaxed a little, her lips moved slightly, and her eyes looked behind Wu Zi, but she flew out like a frightened bird.

It's still raining outside!

It's no joke for such a small child to be exposed to the rain.

There was still some distance, Wu Zi quickly stretched out his hand to hold the child, "Be careful, it's raining heavily outside"

It seems to confirm Wu Zi's words.

A thunderbolt flashed in the distance, splitting the sky brightly, and under the sound, the child was startled.

This time he was caught.

Wu Zi hurriedly pulled her in, Xiang Xia didn't say a word, she folded her hands on her shoulders, silently leaning against the wall, her eyes rested on the child's lap.

The phone light was on, and the child was held in his arms, his arms and legs struggling desperately, as if he was about to jump out of Wu Zi's arms in the next second.

Wu Zi comforted in a low voice: "Hey, it's raining outside. If you promise my sister not to run away, she will let you down."

The child Tongling stared with big eyes, his round mouth was downcast, his mouth was pursed stubbornly, he insisted on jumping down without saying a word.

The strength is still great, even for a child of eight or nine years old.

Wu Zi really couldn't hold on to him, and Xiang Xia beside him frowned, looking at the child: "Stop"

Xiang Xia's tone was flat, Wu Zi originally thought that the child would not listen, but who knew that the child froze as if frightened in the next second.

She looked at Xiang Xia timidly, and subconsciously hid in Wu Zi's arms.Wu Zi asked in a low voice where her home was, and if she remembered her parents' contact information, but she didn't speak, her little hands tightly clutched Wu Zi's clothes, and she stared at Wu Zi, very stubborn.

Wu Zi looked at Xiang Xia, and for some reason, he somehow felt that the two were alike, not in appearance, but in their energy.

"Send it to the police if you don't tell me"

Xiang Xia was obviously not as patient as Wu Zi, her face was cold, but she didn't pull the child from Wu Zi's arms.

This is slightly unusual.

To rest in peace, Wu Zi's clothes were touched, which made her frown.

The child's ears were pricked up, and when he heard that he was going to be sent to the police station, he clenched his cheeks and said, "I don't have a home"

The rain was so loud that Wu Zi looked down at the child and thought he had heard it wrong.

Of course she couldn't have no home.

The child's clothes are of good material, and his body and face are white and fat, obviously not the treatment that orphans can have.

Wu Zi's eyes were troubled, she looked up at Xiang Xia, who was standing aside, she didn't look surprised.

At this time, the lights in Building A came on.

Above the overlapping shadows, the child's eyes were flushed, his teeth were clenched, and his little hands were squeezing Wu Zi's clothes very hard. He was obviously in a weak position, but he didn't seem to admit defeat at all.

As soon as Xiang Xia looked over, the child lowered his head physiologically, as if admitting his mistake. She was afraid of Xiang Xia.

This made Wu Zi frowned slightly, something was wrong.

She blinked and asked Xiang Xia in a low voice, "You know him?"

The child hid in her arms without speaking.

Xiang Xia lowered her eyes, the upper half of her face was hidden in the shadows, "I don't know."

I don't know you so afraid of you?

Wu Zi's eyes seemed to be asking, Xiang Xia looked at her, and said to the child in her arms, "Run away from home?"

The interrogative sentences she used expressed affirmation, as if she knew exactly what the child was doing and what she was thinking.

The child shrank into his arms, and the red blood on his knees was particularly obvious under the light.

Now she refused to get off Wu Zi's body again.

At a young age, you already know how to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.

Wu Zi supported her on his shoulder with one hand, and touched the back of her schoolbag with the other. There was a thin layer of cards on the outermost side.

Touch it out and take a look.

It has the child's name, class, and parents' contact information written on it.

"Ruan Ruan?" Wu Zi called out tentatively, the child froze and retorted softly, "It's not mine."

That's it, Wu Zi handed the card to Xiang Xia, motioning for her to call.

Xiang Xia took it without hitting her. She leaned against the wall and looked at the child, "Come down."

The child was indeed afraid of Xiangxia.

In a word, she slid off Wu Zi's body very quietly, pinching the corner of her clothes with her small hands, lowering her head and not speaking.

"send you home"

Wu Zi was a little surprised, she thought that she could just call back, but she didn't expect to ask the child what he meant.

The child raised his face, his face was pale, his big eyes stared at Xiang Xia, his teeth were clenched, as if he had been humiliated.

Look at each other.

Xiang Xia didn't dodge, she looked directly into the child's red eyes with a cold expression.

In the end, the child lowered his head and said in a slightly hoarse voice, "Mmm."

The card was handed back to Wu Zi, and Xiang Xia said, "Go ahead."

Wu Zi was a little surprised. She felt that something was wrong with Xiang Xia from just now, but she couldn't tell exactly what was wrong. She frowned and took the card.

When the phone was dialed, the person on the other side seemed to have fallen asleep, and the voice was a bit ethereal.

When Wu Zi talked about the child, the other party seemed to react. He apologized first, then thanked her, and told her the address very politely.

Building B in District 3 is not too far away.

Because of the rain, they waited for a while, and Yu Xiaocai left.

During this period, the child didn't say a word, and neither did Xiang Xia, and the atmosphere was delicate.

Wu Zi walked in the middle, holding one hand.

In a trance, Wu Zi felt as if he was holding someone in his arms at different times, and the two of them looked alike in silence, but Xiang Xia was more restrained.

The child lives on the 16th floor and is the first one out of the elevator.

The door was open, and there was a light on inside. The light was dim, and the room was quiet as if no one lived in it.

Wu Zi tentatively knocked on the door: "Hello, is anyone there?"

The second floor made the sound of slippers stepping on the ground.

A woman wearing pajamas came down the spiral staircase. She first glanced at the child lightly, and the child obviously took half a step back, looking down at the floor.

"I'm really sorry to trouble you." The woman's voice was very gentle, and she whispered, "Xiao Ruan, thank you to my sister."

"Thank you" the child spat out two words stiffly.

A bit of dissatisfaction appeared on the woman's face, and the child became uneasy. She lowered her head and added, "Thank you sister for taking me home."

Only then did the woman smile, her body bent slightly, "Hard work, do you want to come in and have a seat?"

There was a noise from the room on the first floor, the woman's face changed slightly, and a man came out. He obviously just woke up, went to the bathroom, saw a child standing at the door, and wanted to say something, but saw Wu Zi and Xiang Xia standing at the door , Without saying anything, Diameter walked over.

Xiang Xia lowered her eyes, Wu Zi shook her head: "No, it's getting late."

The woman smiled: "Okay, then I won't keep you guys"

Wu Zi nodded, she took Xiang Xia's hand, it was cold, as if frozen, she asked suspiciously: "Is it cold?"

Before Xiang Xia could answer, the door behind her was closed and locked. For some reason, the door here was not very soundproof.

I only heard the voice of a woman in the room: "Kneel down"

"Facing the wall!" The woman's voice became sharp.

A man's voice sounded: "Look, this is what you gave birth to"

"It's not yours?"

"I'm too lazy to argue with you, anyway, this kid, leave with you"

"Are you a judge?" The woman sneered

After that, the child seemed to be forgotten, and there was no sound in the room.

Wu Zi's hand suddenly hurt, she looked down, Xiang Xia's hand was tightly clenched, she looked down, she didn't show any expression, she just didn't speak.

Much like that kid.
