Bandit Shi Xianyu

The lights at the entrance of the community were on and off, flickering, probably about to break down.

The security guards at the original gate quit because of the community's delay in getting a full-time job.

It was ten forty when Pei Cangyu came back.It's too late today, he reached out his hand while thinking, undid the locked lock, and opened the iron gate.Pulling a small crack, the door rang, creaking—echoing in the quiet neighborhood, like fingernails scratching a blackboard, Pei Cangyu hurried in, closed the door again, grabbed her schoolbag, and ran home.

He ran fast, but his steps were very light. I wondered if grandma had gone to sleep.

The lights on these floors were not working, and they were repaired last time, but someone stole the light bulbs, and the uncle on the second floor was away, so Pei Cangyu decided to fix it by herself during the weekend, otherwise grandma would not be able to go out.

He turned the key, opened the door, and walked in lightly. The light was not turned on in the room, and he saw that the TV was still playing, a very long Korean TV series, the sound was not loud, and the woman was crying on the screen because of the cheating man.Grandma was sitting on the small sofa, her head lowered little by little, her silver-white hair was fluttering in a daze, and there was static electricity, and she was still holding the remote control loosely in her hand, about to fall off.

Pei Cangyu picked up the clothes thrown on the ground familiarly. When grandma got sick, she always took off her clothes because of the fever.With quick hands and feet, he picked up and folded the clothes grandma dropped, put them on the bedside table in grandma's room, put down his schoolbag and walked over.

Grandma was also talking in her sleep, she looked very nervous, it was a nightmare, she didn't know who was telling someone to go away, she frowned in soft dialect, and occasionally screamed twice.

Pei Cangyu squatted beside her and shook her gently: "Grandma, go back to sleep?"

Grandma slowly opened her eyes and saw Pei Cangyu in the chaos. Her eyes lit up and she raised her hand to touch his face: "You are back."

Pei Cangyu nodded: "Let's go."

Grandma rubbed her eyes, tears came out of her red eyes, a physiological reaction.She put down the remote control and tried to stand up with the handle, only to realize that she was naked, only a pair of baggy white underwear dangling on the loose flesh, and the old pants still had gray spots that had not been washed off.

The old man blushed suddenly, she sat down, and before she could speak, Pei Cangyu had already covered her with a blanket familiarly, and hugged her horizontally, the thin old man was left with a piece of skin and half a piece of flesh, which was not considered to be of much weight. The imprint of a lifetime is like evaporating in old age, and nothing matters.

Pei Cangyu put him on the bed, covered him with a quilt, brought back the slippers, and turned off the light: "Go to sleep."

He was about to leave, but grandma stretched out her hand and pulled him: "I'll serve you glutinous rice balls."

Pei Cangyu scratched her hair, her disgusted face raised her voice happily: "Hey, I told you to leave me alone, just go to bed at night, don't wait for me... What a trouble..."

Grandma closed her eyes and smiled, Pei Cangyu went to the kitchen in a hurry.

He opened the pot, and the glutinous rice balls inside had long since exposed the stuffing and shattered into a puddle, and they were already cold.Pei Cangyu hesitated for a moment, but turned on the heat.

It's not because Pei Cangyu came back late, but because grandma didn't know how to cook three years ago.

Pei Cangyu heated it up for a while, and managed to eat a few mouthfuls, but in the end she felt a little nauseous, so she had to pour it out.He kept looking towards grandma's room, for fear that the old man would come out and grab him by the ears and scold him for wasting food.But then again, she hasn't had the energy for a long time.

Pei Cangyu searched at home and found grandma's vomit in the bathroom. She turned on the faucet and started cleaning. After that, she swept and mopped the house again. Fortunately, there were only two bedrooms, one living room, and the kitchen and dining room mixed together. The balcony is also very small, so cleaning is not a problem.

After everything was done, it was almost twelve o'clock. Pei Cangyu climbed into bed and set the alarm clock for six o'clock. Tomorrow, she would get up early to get medicine for grandma, and then go to school after taking it.

He was very tired and soon fell asleep.

Grandma started to get sick three years ago, intermittent mental illness, but in detail, it is a delusional experience, and from time to time I feel that I am still living in the past.Grandma was born in a scholarly family. She studied in a private school when she was a child. She was the eldest lady and was admitted to university all the way.It seems that there is no need to talk about happiness in this era, but grandma has great expectations for her son.Pei Cangyu had seen a picture of his father in the photo album at home, he was a very energetic man.

In grandma’s photo album, there are only a few photos of herself, childhood photos and student photos, no wedding photos, the others are the gates of her natal family, flowers and plants, parents, and the most are photos of Pei Cangyu’s father, from elementary school to leaving home, you can see It can be concluded that when the conditions were not very good, his father also raised him with the best conditions in the family.In these albums, there was not a single photo of Grandpa Pei Cangyu, he had no idea what his grandpa looked like.If you look through the photo albums, you can see that most of them are from the glorious family background of the girls, some are from the girls' school days full of hope, and most of them are the heirs of their mothers' dreams. Worthless, it hides behind the ancestors and the next generation.

Before getting sick, grandma was a very tasteful person. She took care of many flowers and plants. In spring, the balcony was especially colorful, especially orchids, because the family loves orchids; in summer, she picked off nail grass and wrapped her fingers in orange. , wrapped Pei Cangyu's nails into bright red, and when Pei Cangyu finally grew up and began to protest, she laughed, and discussed each other's step back, and only wrapped toenails in the future, her stupid grandson agreed, and when she started to protest later, that is In autumn, she raises a small tank of red goldfish, picks up some cobblestones and lays them in, cuts some water plants and throws them in, and decorates the small fish tank; The seam of the pot is tightly plugged, and a small piece of bone can be stewed four or five times, and a small piece of meat can be stewed to produce a strong aroma. This is her skill.Before she got sick, in addition to community security benefits, she also sewed some things, earning some pocket money for five or ten yuan.

After being ill, everything was put on hold.Pei Cangyu tried to take over and make everything go back to the way it was before, but the grandma, who never got angry, got angry, and she was very stubborn and insisted on doing it herself.The flowers and plants withered, the goldfish starved to death, the stew was always salty, and even the sun didn't come to the balcony very much.She stubbornly refused to let Pei Cangyu touch her, and her life sank like this.

After she was ill, she liked to tell old stories, about the violets in the garden in her girlhood, the little pony in her family, and her tall and handsome son who looked like her.Sometimes she is in a high mood, sometimes in a low mood. After she is ill, she is easily angry, like waking up from the violet bushes. What she sees is the oil-stained pot, the cramped small room, and the piles of dirty clothes. Get angry, smash the pot on the ground, cover your face and cry.

Pei Cangyu was always at a loss.

She cursed her husband in her dream. She may have a first love, or she may have an ideal, but she always wakes up to clean up the pot.Later, she liked to sigh about life. First, she said a lot of bad things about people Pei Cangyu didn't know at all, and then she started to swear. , stared at it for a long time, and said to Pei Cangyu: "This life is really boring."She felt hot after a recent illness, and she always took off her clothes. Her wrinkled skin turned gray and wrapped around her bones, her chest hung and drooped, dangling like two empty leather bags, and her nest When I got up, sometimes I would call Pei Cangyu wrong and call her son's name.That high-spirited and handsome boy with excellent grades, who loves to laugh and sing, is the brightest star in the school and all her hopes. He ran away one night and never came back.

His grandma tried hard to create a normal family atmosphere for him, but finally lost to the illness.This illness reminded the two of them day after day how incomplete this family is. Pei Cangyu occasionally caught a glimpse of some kind of fateful despair from the sigh of the last century, but it was only a glimpse.More often, she fell asleep while talking, the TV was still ringing, the fan was still turning, there were no flowers or grass on the balcony, and there was a gust of wind.Pei Cangyu held her withered hand, feeling a kind of loneliness that didn't match his age, and suddenly attacked him.He leaned on her shoulder, still feeling alone.

But when she is not sick, she is still fine.Medical insurance covers part of the medical expenses, Pei Cangyu does not need tuition fees, community subsidies and subsistence allowances can make ends meet, and grandma has saved some money from sewing and mending.

Pei Cangyu lifted the quilt and sat up at the first sound of the alarm clock. It was still dark outside the window, and the pharmacy opened at [-]:[-], so Pei Cangyu could rush to school after taking the medicine.

He quickly put on his clothes, and under the dark blue sky, he pushed his bicycle and rode to the big pharmacy.By [-]:[-], the queue had already begun.

After queuing for 10 minutes and buying medicine, he rode home in a hurry, went upstairs, and started cooking, millet porridge.

The pot was boiling, and he went to wake up grandma.

Grandma woke up and sat there for a while before getting dressed.Pei Cangyu turned off the fire, feeling that there was no time for dinner today.

Grandma saw that he was busy and wanted to come up to help. Pei Cangyu really didn't want her to help because it would cause trouble, but he couldn't say anything, so he asked grandma to wipe the table.

"Have you stopped eating?" Grandma watched him start changing clothes.

Pei Cangyu took off her sportswear, changed into school clothes, and then put on a big school uniform: "I don't want to eat, I'll buy a fried dough stick."

Grandma looked worried: "Eat some."

"No, no, no." Pei Cangyu waved his hands and rushed out the door. At this point, there was probably a queue to buy fried dough sticks.

He hurriedly rode his bicycle to the school.It was a bit late today to get the medicine, otherwise Pei Cangyu would be more willing to walk back leisurely or take the bus.

But even so, when he was about to arrive at school, he might still be late.

With only one intersection left, Pei Cangyu stopped his bicycle, stretched his legs against the ground, and took two mouthfuls of fried dough sticks. From his side, he could just see the school gate. There were no people there at the moment, and the first bell might have been rang up.

Pei Cangyu looked at the school gate, and a very black car slowly drove up. He guessed it was Baishi, and it really was.

It rained heavily last night, and there was a lot of water on the side of the road. The car happened to be parked in a puddle. Pei Cangyu chewed on the fried dough sticks, thinking that the car would move, but it didn't. The car stopped for a few seconds. The door of the car was opened, and he saw Baishi's little leather shoes again.

With a swish, he stepped into the water, submerged his ankles, and the white socks turned black all of a sudden.

Pei Cangyu, who was chewing fried dough sticks, twitched her lips. As for what, two extra steps in the car would make her exhausted?The world of the rich is really hard to understand.

When the light turned green in front of him, Pei Cangyu rode forward with half of a fried dough stick in his mouth, and Baishi's side shocked him even more.

As soon as Baishi got down, he turned around and closed the door. Before leaving, the car started, and the splashed water filled Baishi's pants in an instant.

Even Pei Cangyu glanced at the arrogant buttocks of the car, what is this, the delivery of goods is not so perfunctory...

But Baishi had no expression on his face, he didn't care much, or he was used to it, but he raised his eyebrows when he saw Pei Cangyu with a fried dough stick in his mouth.

Pei Cangyu looked at the black mud on Baishi's pants and the water on his socks, and suddenly remembered that the day Baishi transferred to another school was just like today. Just let it go.

The two of them looked at each other, turned their heads and walked towards the school, one went upstairs and the other parked the car.

When Pei Cangyu got to work, Baishi had already sat down and looked up at him.

I don't know if it's Pei Cangyu's delusion, he feels that Baishi sees him a lot today, is it because he saw another side of Baishi's noble life just now?Could it be that Baishi offended the driver, so he was occasionally bullied by the driver at home, and because Baishi was an idiot, he made others very angry, and no one helped him?Is it because Baishi has something to fall into the hands of others, so he was threatened?Or because Shiraishi is actually... an illegitimate child?So he has no status and is often called around by others?

……

The more Pei Cangyu thought about it, the more terrifying he felt. The secret history of the palace that he had read with his grandmother poured in, casting a strong mystery on Baishi's life experience.

"What are you looking at?" Baishi looked at the front, but asked him.

Pei Cangyu nodded, as if she had made up her mind: "I will never fight against you again."

Bai Shi turned to look at him: "Why?"

Pei Cangyu reached out and patted him on the shoulder: "I have decided to make peace with you."

Shiraishi frowned: "Why?"

Pei Cangyu also frowned: "Why, why, isn't this bad? I think it's pretty good."

Shiraishi was silent.

The classmate was distributing papers and handing them to Pei Cangyu. Pei Cangyu took a look at them and put the score side on the table.

The next one is Shiraishi's.The classmate glanced at the paper, then at Baishi, handed it to Baishi, took another look at Baishi, and smiled at Baishi.

Pei Cangyu was busy reconciling with the enemy, he patted Baishi on the shoulder: "In this way, we will not violate the water in the future, okay?"

Baishi spread out his 119 math paper on the table and looked at Pei Cangyu: "How much score do you have?"

Pei Cangyu was dumbfounded when she saw the numbers: "Damn, it's one point short of a perfect score! You still have this function?"

Baishi persistently asked: "How many points do you have?"

Pei Cangyu waved his hands indiscriminately: "I'm sure not as tall as you..."

"Then," Shiraishi grabbed his hand, his eyes sparkled, full of expectation, "after this class, you can jump off the building."

Pei Cangyu: "...??? Ah? Didn't you say reconciliation?"
