Chapter 7 The Old Friend Returns

In the evening, Wu Xie packed up his things and prepared to go back to school. The high school he was in was a boarding high school, which had a holiday every Friday and returned to school on Sunday night.Wu Xie packed up her things and was about to step out of the room when Zhang's father suddenly appeared at the door.

"Uncle." Wu Xie looked up for a moment.

"Wu Xie, are you used to living here?" Father Zhang stroked his hair again.

"Well, it's okay." Wu Xie was a little puzzled: "Do you... have something to tell me?"

"Ah, it's nothing." Father Zhang's eyes were deep: "I just want...to remind you of something."

Wu Xie stared at him, Zhang's father continued: "Don't get too close to your brother."

Hearing this sentence, Wu Xie was a little shocked. What does it mean?

"What's wrong with him?"

"I don't mean anything else. I just want to tell you. After getting along these days, you must know that he has a bad personality. If you get too close to him, I'm afraid you will get hurt."

Wu Xie let out an "oh", but then felt that this was a bit false. How could a father say that about his son?

"It's okay, he's actually quite nice," Wu Xie said perfunctorily, "I'll pay attention, thank you uncle." Then he left with his bag on his back.

Walking on the road, Wu Xie figured it out. From that day at the Crescent Hotel to today, Wu Xie has never seen the father and son communicate with each other. It seems that their relationship is very bad, yes, look at Poker Ping You can tell by the look of lack of love.

"Drip --" a short car humped, Wu Xie turned around, and a blue SUV stopped right in front of him.

There were familiar people in the car, Wu Xie was a little taken aback, "What's wrong? What's the matter?"

Zhang Qiling didn't speak, just looked down at his legs, and then glanced up at the villa.

Wu Xie followed his eyes for a while, and then suddenly realized that his mother was standing on the balcony looking at him with a puzzled expression.

"Thanks." Wu Xie quickly jumped into the car, his leg injury was still not healed, and his walking was very strange, so he couldn't let his mother know.

The car went straight to the school after leaving the yard, and sitting in the passenger seat, Wu Xie secretly glanced at him.Zhang Qiling did say very little, but it wasn't like Zhang's father said. Wu Xie really wanted to ask if there was any misunderstanding between them, but he wasn't sure if they had gotten to know each other so well. To be cautious, he still Cleverly closed his mouth, and began to close his eyes to rest his mind.

I don't know how long it took, but Wu Xie opened his eyes when he felt the car stopped, and it arrived.

"Thank you." Opening the car door, Wu Xie was about to get out of the car.

"Wu Xie..." Zhang Qiling who had been silent all this time suddenly spoke.

Wu Xie stopped and looked back at him, waiting for the next article.

Zhang Qiling sighed slightly, closed his eyes and said, "Don't waste your mind."

Wu Xie was stunned for a moment, and nodded after a while: "Oh."

After getting out of the car, Wu Xie didn't realize until Zhang Qiling's car had disappeared. Just now, Poker said not to waste your mind?Don't waste your mind?What does it mean?Are you warning him not to care about this matter?Or did he think he had a good head?Did he recognize him?

"Boss..." Wang Meng came running in the distance with his little turtle shell schoolbag on his back, "Boss, what are you laughing at?"

"Where am I smiling?"

"Why not, you still have such a nice smile."

"No, I didn't smile."

"Wu Xie—" Aning and Yuncai walked over in the distance one after the other.

"The troublesome people are coming." Seeing the clouds, Wu Xie hurriedly pulled Wang Meng and ran away.

Wu Xie's grades are very good, he looks clean, and he is enthusiastic. Such a boy will inevitably become the object of admiration for girls at school.Yuncai is one of them. Although Yuncai's grades are not very good, but his appearance is very outstanding, he is still a minority, and he can be regarded as a top class figure in a science class where there are not many girls.But for some reason, Wu Xie just didn't have any feeling for her.Ah Ning and Yun Cai are buddies. Seeing that the two of them have nothing to do, he was anxious, so he used his status as the squad leader to help match them up again and again. with.

"Boss, why are you running?" Wang Meng grabbed him.

"Hiss—asshole! Take it easy!" Wu Xie cried out in pain after being pulled to the wound.

"Brother Wu Xie, I heard that you were bitten by a dog." Yun Cai walked over, looked at Wu Xie's distorted expression, and asked with a worried face: "Are you okay, does it hurt?"

"Ahaha, I'm fine..." Wu Xie quickly squeezed out a smile, "I'm really fine."

"But I think you are in pain. Where is your injury? How about I help you?" After finishing speaking, Yun Cai stretched out his hand.

"Don't—" Wu Xie hurriedly stretched out her hand to block it, but didn't grasp the strength well, and slapped her hand away.

"Brother Wu Xie, you..." Yun Cai withdrew her hand aggrievedly.

"You don't care about Yuncai, he's just like that." Aning glared at Wu Xie: "Wu Xie, I have something to tell you."

"Ah?" Wu Xie looked up, suddenly remembered what happened two days ago, and immediately became serious: "What's wrong?"

"Come with me." Aning looked around, then pulled him to the playground.

"I won't say anything about you, don't worry." Wu Xie followed behind.

"Do you know who was following me that day?" Aning turned around with a serious expression.

"I don't know, I didn't find out," Wu Xie looked at her, "You know?"

"If I knew it, I wouldn't come to ask you."

"Don't worry, the other party's target is not you."

Aning looked at him suspiciously, paused for a while and said, "Is your injury okay?"

"I'm a man, how can I be so fragile." Wu Xie smiled.

Aning took a deep breath and calmed down: "I'm sorry about that, I apologize to you, I was too anxious at the time, if I pulled you, you wouldn't be like this."

Wu Xie shook his head and said it was okay. He didn't think too much about what Aning said. After all, Ah Ning is a girl, and it's not impossible to panic when she's afraid, and it's okay to be in the same class for so long. Very suspicious.

The days at school are always calm, beating Wang Meng, hiding in the clouds, and a week later, the final exam, which is reviled by thousands of people, is over, and the summer vacation is here.

Wu Xie packed up her things, and just as she was about to go home, her cell phone rang, and an unfamiliar number was displayed on it.Wu Xie pressed the answer button: "Hello?"

"Is... is it Wu Xie?" A stammering voice came from the phone.

"Old itch?" Wu Xie exclaimed, the voice was too familiar to him, this was his good buddy, Xie Ziyang, who grew up wearing a pair of pants.

"Yes... it's me."

"Didn't you go in?" Wu Xie was a little excited. When he was in junior high school, he got into a fight with someone and had an accident. Later, he entered the juvenile detention center, and the two gradually lost contact because of this.

"It's...it's a long story, I...I'm here...in Hangzhou, why don't we...get together?"

"Okay, tell me where, I'll find you." Wu Xie picked up her schoolbag and started to walk out.

"Then let's go upstairs...outside the building."

"Okay, I'll be there right away." After hanging up the phone, Wu Xie stopped a car and went straight to the building outside the building.

Going up the stairs, a familiar figure came into view.

"Old Itchy—" stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, when the man turned his head, Wu Xie was stunned: "You..."

Seeing this person was unkempt, with a vicissitudes of life and a gloomy expression, it almost made him think that he had recognized the wrong person.

"You...how did you do this?" Wu Xie was surprised, how could an old friend who hadn't seen him for two years become like this.

"Hey, old...Old Wu, you're here...you're here." Old Itchy grinned with a mouth full of stubble, showing a mouthful of yellow teeth.

"What happened to you? We haven't seen each other for two years, what happened?" Wu Xie picked up the teapot and poured him a cup of tea.

"Oh, this...it's a long story." Lao You sighed, and then grabbed Wu Xie's hand: "Old Wu, I... If I have trouble, you... will you help me?"

"What's wrong with you?" Wu Xie was taken aback: "Speak slowly, as long as I can help, I will definitely help!"

"Really?" Lao Tiao was very excited: "Then...then I said, you...you can help me, I...I really go...have nowhere to go."

"Tell me, we are brothers who grew up wearing a pair of trousers, so we don't need to see others like this." Wu Xie took a sip of tea.

"That's good, that's good," Old Itchy's eyes turned red, he let go of Wu Xie's hand, took a sip of tea, and said slowly, "Actually... I... came out half a year ago."

"Half a year ago? Then what have you been doing for so long? You didn't even call me." Wu Xie was surprised.

"Oh, I... I just escaped... how could...how could I cause you...you trouble," Lao Tiao continued, with a gloomy expression, "half a year ago...my mother checked...checked Stomach cancer, it's...it's at an advanced stage."

"Auntie..." Wu Xie was stunned for a moment. He had seen Lao You's mother before. She was a gentle and quiet Jiangnan woman who treated people very kindly. When Wu Xie got into trouble when she was a child, she often ran to Lao You's house to hide. When Wu's mother came to find her, she would help cover and save Wu Xie a lot of sticks.

"So you escaped?" Wu Xie finally understood that Lao Xie, like him, was a child of a single-parent family with only one mother.Lao Xie has been very filial since he was a child, and the fight at the beginning was because the other party insulted his mother, and now he is willing to escape from the juvenile prison at the risk of being caught, it must be... Wu Xie dare not think about it anymore, the world The joys and sorrows of life are too cold, but how many people can fight against fate?

"Tell me, how much does it cost, I'll find a way to get it for you." Wu Xie put down the teacup and looked at him.

"Old Wu," Lao You suddenly showed a sad expression, "it's not about money...money."

"What?" Wu Xie was a little confused, "What is that?"

"Old Wu," Old Tick raised his head, "I...I told you, don't...don't laugh at me."

"It's okay, just tell me." Wu Xie said.

Lao You sighed, and began to tell his story.

It turned out that before Lao Qiu entered, Xie's mother felt that something was wrong with her body, but in order not to worry Lao Qiu, she kept silent.A year and a half after Old Itch entered, Xie’s mother’s condition began to deteriorate, to the point where she had to be hospitalized. There was nothing she could do, so one of Old Itch’s uncles sent a message to tell him.As soon as the old itchy heard it, he immediately tried to find a way to run out, but at this time they learned from the hospital that because the delay was too long, the cancer cells had already begun to spread, and further surgery would be useless.The old itchy was distraught, and he asked people everywhere to inquire about it, and finally the emperor paid off. Half a month ago, he learned from an old Chinese doctor that there is a kind of flower that grows on the cliff that can cure this disease.Lao Xie was very happy, but the old Chinese doctor told him that this kind of flower is rare, and only those who have the chance can see it.What he said was very mysterious, and Lao You didn't believe it at first, but Lao You felt that this was his last hope, and he refused to let it go no matter what.After showing the old Chinese doctor the birth dates of all the people he knew, the old Chinese doctor finally chose only one person——Wu Xie.

After listening to Lao You's narration, Wu Xie was stunned for a long while. To be honest, he can be regarded as a materialist. He didn't believe this kind of old tune of fooling people in the 50s, but seeing Lao You's serious expression, he Some couldn't bear to refuse.

"Then, you mean, let me help you find this kind of flower?"

"Where...how can I... I'll go with you together," Old Tick seemed very happy, "Old Wu, if this... if this thing...is done, I will be relieved... I owe you my life!"

Wu Xie bowed his head and didn't speak. Too many things happened recently. Although he couldn't tell what it was, he was always feeling a little uneasy.Wu Xie looked up at Lao Xie who was happily ordering food, and sighed slightly. After all, he was a child, so he couldn't even trust him. Wu Xie thought about it, and finally acquiesced.
