back edge

"Hey, Xie Jingnian, have you heard that there is a big news about Back Blade."

Zhuang Jie held onto the stool at the front table, poked half of his head vigorously, trying to pull Xie Jingnian's thoughts away from his homework.But Xie Jingnian ignored him, browsed through the questions and started writing formulas.

Zhuang Jie couldn't keep his mouth idle, and the sentences he spit out were dense and vivid, forcing Xie Jingnian to say one, two, three.Xie Jingnian had no choice but to answer him perfunctorily: "I heard."

A group of second-year high school students were deprived of the physical education class, the only entertainment they could have. I don't know when it became popular to listen to mp3.

Among them, the band "Anti-Blade" is popular among mp3 groups.It's not that the band is famous.Sixteen and seventeen-year-olds, especially boys, all like cool and individual things from the bottom of their hearts. Rock music fits their requirements very well, being both cool and individual.Plug in the earphones, turn up the volume to the maximum, let him care so much, handsome will be done.

"Tsk tsk, I only knew that there was a performance in Taizhuang a while ago, but I didn't expect such a big event to happen." Zhuang Jie pulled up a chair and sat opposite Xie Jingnian, watching him write vigorously, "Back to the blade That lead singer, Chen Xi, had a girl come up on stage to confess his love to him, but he rejected him, and when she got off the stage, that girl fell down and fell into a coma on the spot."

Zhuang Jie drank his saliva and continued: "This girl is too miserable. She is only in her twenties. It is said that there is no cure. She is paralyzed and will have to sit in a wheelchair for the rest of her life."

Xie Jingnian's thoughts were disturbed, so he checked the calculation again on the straw paper, and echoed: "It's quite miserable."

Zhuang Jie couldn't finish speaking, he couldn't call the preparation bell.Xie Jingnian didn't catch what he said later.He handed the exercise book to Zhuang Jie and said, "To Tan Lin, thank you."

Zhuang Jie closed his mouth resentfully, looked at him and said, "You're welcome."

Anti-blade is very popular in the class. In less than two classes, the news has spread throughout the class, even the teachers have heard of it.

Ji Heyi put on a serious face, pushed the round-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, and said solemnly: "You are going to be in the third year of high school soon, why don't you know how to worry about each of you? Tiantianjing knows how to care about those useless people. thing."

As he spoke, he glanced at Zhuang Jie who lowered his head and tried to lighten his sense of presence: "If I hear someone spreading something in class again, I still have a bunch of blank papers here, enough to shut him up."

Now the whole class is silent.

Ji He is over forty a year, with curly hair and a slightly fat body, just like a middle-aged greasy uncle.He is usually very strict, and the entire grade group regards him as the highest standard.

He flipped through the stack of papers in his hand, and took out one of them: "For this quiz, only one student in the class got a perfect score." He glanced at the name and said, "Xie Jingnian, not bad. You should learn more from him." , work hard, and it’s not a dream to get into any kind of university.”

"Awesome brother, what kind of brains do you have?" Jia Feichen suspected that Xie Jingnian was from an alien every day since he was at the table with Xie Jingnian.

Xie Jingnian smiled and did not speak.

Jia Feichen insisted on Xie Jingnian teaching him the amazing Dafa.In the end, both of them were packed and arranged by Ji Heyi to go to the corridor.

"Hehe... This, the corridor... The corridor is so wow! This big window, this small wind whistling, so cool!" Jia Feichen glanced sideways at Xie Jingnian, saw his expressionless face, and whispered: "I'm wrong, my colleague." table, I'll buy you breakfast tomorrow."

Xie Jingnian said: "It's fine."

Seeing that he wasn't angry, Jia Feichen immediately hooked his shoulders with him with a playful smile: "Don't be polite to me, I'll be at the same table every day for a hundred days. Don't worry, I won't treat you badly."

Xie Jingnian's seat seems to be surrounded by people with out-of-the-box thinking, and sometimes he really can't keep up with their brain circuits.Jia Feichen relied on the corridors to be unattended, so he dragged Xie Jingnian to chat.

"You are still chattering when you are punished?" Ji Heyi poked his head out from the door of the classroom abruptly, pointed at Jia Feichen, hating that iron could not be made into steel, "Still hooking your shoulders? Let go of your hands and stay away Son. Let me hear you say one more thing, double your homework tonight."

Now Jia Feichen didn't dare to move anymore, and the two of them stood dryly until the end of get out of class.

Ji Heyi came out of the classroom, took Xie Jingnian to the side, and whispered to him, "Your previous application for accommodation has been approved. Take a look and tell your dad to move in sometime."

Xie Jingnian nodded: "Understood."

Ji Heyi knew a little about the situation in Xie Jingnian's family. He didn't want to see a good seedling just like that, so he couldn't help but say a few more words: "You'll be in your third year of high school soon. You'd better hurry up and don't delay your studies."

Xie Jingnian replied: "Okay, thank you teacher."

The Ministry of Education approved the evening self-study for the second year of high school, and it was already 07:30 in the evening when school was over.The sky was gloomy, and the roadside street lamps had been in disrepair for a long time, and they could not emit any light for a long time.Xie Jingnian was holding the flashlight of his mobile phone, and was stopped when he passed by an alley.

A few people were squatting against the wall, and when they saw him, they immediately stood up straight: "Xie Jingnian? You're just dawdling. Brothers have been waiting for you for a long time. Hurry up and bring the money."

The speaker's voice was high-pitched and harsh, with a southern accent.The lights were dim, and only black figures could be seen.Xie Jingnian couldn't tell which one it was, but he knew where these people came from: "I don't have any money. It's Xie Laosan who owes you, so ask him to go."

"Fuck, I can ask you for money..." The man didn't finish his sentence, but was stopped, "It's only natural to pay off the father's debt. I know that you have money because you work part-time."

The person who spoke pinched his cigarette, threw it on the ground, stomped on the soles of his feet and rolled out some sparks, his voice was harsh and threatening: "There must be a rule in this money matter, otherwise we will not be able to handle it, right?" ?”

"Your rules have nothing to do with me, get out of the way." Xie Jingnian pretended to be calm, but in reality his fists were already tightly clenched.

"That's not up to you."

As soon as the voice fell, several people on the other side of the alley immediately took action.Xie Jingnian put away his mobile phone, turned around and ran, but it was a pity that the book was packed with a pile of exercise books, and he couldn't run fast. After a few steps, he was grabbed by the shoulder and carried back.Xie Jingnian turned around and kicked him, but he didn't know where he kicked. The man stepped back a few steps in response, and was supported and fell against the wall.

Most of these people came here from the south to work here. They have no education, no connections, and can't find a serious job and can only dawdle.To collect debts, you have to be smart, but they are all small tricks. Xie Jingnian has already experienced it over the past two years.But he never thought that these people would use knives.

The watermelon knife, which was more than ten centimeters long, swung at Xie Jingnian.In such an alley that was two people wide, he couldn't avoid it, and he couldn't see the angle clearly, so he could only raise his arms subconsciously to resist.As expected, there was a burst of pain, and Xie Jingnian heard the sound of his clothes being cut by a knife.There was warm and sticky liquid dripping on his face, and he knew it was his own blood.

He heard someone yelling: "Fuck you fucking idiot, who the hell made you use the knife?"

Xie Jingnian didn't care about anything else, so he turned his head and ran away.At the entrance of the alley, he met a man smoking a cigarette on a motorcycle.The headlights of the car were very bright, a little dazzling, he stepped forward and said eagerly: "Brother, please take me for a ride."

After hearing this, the man's eyes fell on Xie Jingnian's face, he stopped smoking, then pinched his cigarette, and raised his head to signal him to get in the car.

The locomotive hummed, and the evening wind whizzed past my ears.Maybe it's always easy to be sentimental at night, Xie Jingnian looked at the man's back, inexplicably, his flustered thoughts became calm.He carefully grabbed the side of the seat with one hand and almost fell off the back seat several times.

The man raised his hand and pressed the helmet down. The voice that came out was muffled but hoarse and magnetic. He said, "Hold on, don't rub blood on me."

After Xie Jingnian hugged his waist, he asked again: "Where are you going?"

Xie Jingnian thought for a while, now that he can't go home, there is no guarantee that those people will block the door, so he said: "Just find a clinic and put me down."

The man didn't speak, but he pumped up the gas, and the locomotive sped out of the traffic at a faster speed.Xie Jingnian only felt his heart beating faster, and the excitement of a racing car made him almost forget the pain from the wound on his arm, and the blood in his whole body seemed to be boiling.

Until getting off the car, Xie Jingnian was still a little weak: "Thank you."

The man nodded. Seeing that he was going to leave, Xie Jingnian grabbed his arm without thinking, hesitated, and said, "Well, I don't have any money with me, can you lend me some?"

He took off his helmet, took a one-hundred-dollar ticket from his pocket and handed it to him: "You don't need to return it."

Xie Jingnian saw his face clearly through the light from the window.She has straight hair, single eyelids, her eyeballs are slightly upturned, and her nose bridge is very straight.He put on the helmet with his lips pursed and expressionless, his every move revealed a wild and free and easy look.

Until watching him get farther and farther away, disappearing into the depths of the night.

Xie Jingnian suddenly realized that this man was the kind of person he most wanted to be.
