After passing through the book, he was targeted by two fierce A's
Chapter 45 Junior High School (End) (1)
That night when the two returned home from school, Mr. Ji made a rare meal. While smoking a pipe, he cheerfully asked Ye Jue, "Are you back, Xiaoye?"
The house was filled with a choking smell of smoke.
Ye Jue looked suspiciously at the old man under the light, paused, and said obediently, "I'm back."
"I'll go get the dishes."
The room was dimly lit with oil lamps, and after he was nowhere to be seen, the smile on Old Man Ji's face slowly disappeared, and he took a puff of cigarette sullenly, and said, "What are you doing with the pestle?"
Ji Heng didn't speak, and it took a long time before he entered the room, his eyes swept over the many electrical appliances that suddenly appeared in the room, including radios, TVs, refrigerators and so on.
He seemed to have a premonition and said, "They are here."
"Well," Old Man Ji snorted coldly: "Don't look at me like that, they think you've suffered a lot if you follow me. Can I not let you go back if I bring so many people here at once?"
Ji Heng frowned: "Now?"
"It was agreed to wait for you to graduate, who knows what your old man thinks," Mr. Ji paused after speaking, and looked up at him in surprise: "You don't want to go back?"
Ji Heng didn't answer this question, but just asked: "When exactly?"
The old man snorted self-indulgently, took a puff of cigarette, "I don't know."
"If you have something to do, hurry up, it's only a few days."
In the large shadow cast by the eaves, Ji Heng nodded slowly, "Yes."
For the next week, Ye Jue was very vigilant about Liu Xu's every move. Liu Xu seemed to know that he was not welcome, so he didn't approach him easily.
A delicate peace persists.
Ye Jue finally dared to listen to his class after he couldn't feel the constant attention from him.
Another math class.
It snowed for several days in a row, but instead of clearing up, the weather became grayer and grayer.
The dim sky shrouded the village middle school, the cold wind howled, and there were no classmates playing on the playground. Everyone sat in the room honestly, whispering, and turned a blind eye to Liu Xu who was lecturing on the stage.
Ye Jue was sitting upright today, his eyes fixed on the blackboard, and he carefully took notes following the steps of the explanation.
The small voices in his ears from time to time calmed his mind.
It seemed that he had found a problem, so he didn't look up again, but carefully drew a draft on the notebook, and after checking the answer, he carefully erased it.
"Is there a problem?"
A chuckle suddenly sounded in his ear, and his heart beat suddenly. Ye Jue looked up and saw Liu Xu leaning over beside the table.
Moved to the side without leaving a trace, Ye Jue's face was tense, "No."
Liu Xu smiled gently, and his eyes flicked across the beautiful and small moles at the end of his eyes, like a hungry wolf that smelled the smell of meat, the muscles on his face trembled excitedly, and he wanted to approach him, when there was a sudden sound behind him.
"Teacher," the boy's moderate voice drowned out all the voices around him, "You are blocking me."
Hatred in his heart for his ignorance, Liu Xu had no choice but to back away a few steps, and when he heard the sound and looked around, he saw Ji Heng standing quietly in the corner of the last row.
……This is?
The familiar face immediately made him vigilant. As a veteran criminal, Liu Xu has his own way of knowing people.
Even if it is a left-behind child, someone like Ji Heng, who is tall, big and thoughtful, and can still be called a child, must not be provoked.
What made Liu Xu even more vigilant was that he could not feel any emotional changes from Ji Heng.
He didn't know what kind of attitude the child had towards him.
Not approaching, not disgusted, not disgusted, everything seemed ordinary, but it made him inexplicably terrified.
He has always picked out children who are outstanding in appearance, from poor families, and have some low self-esteem. This kind of child has not enjoyed the love of their parents all year round, and they can be devoted to others with a little benefit.
Easy to pick up and even easier to throw off.
Ye Jue is actually not the best solution. He is beautiful and smart. Although he is well-behaved, he is also very vigilant.
He even has the most sensitive sixth sense among children, no matter how gently he coaxes him, he has never been fooled once.
If he failed twice before, he would not take the risk to continue.
However -
His mind was wandering, and out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Ye Jue who didn't do his homework for some reason, but turned his head to look at Ye Jue in the last row.
The well-behaved and fair young boy frowned, Ruifeng's eyes gleamed, his tear mole was light, and his whole face was full of delicacy that can only be possessed after careful care. Even though he was young, this face had already begun to show its beauty.
His period of liking the new and disliking the old is short.
Often after a child gets started, he or she will dislike it within a month.
But Ye Jue was different, he even thought of adopting him.
...It's a pity that Ye Jue has a father and a mother.
These days, after inquiring about the Ye family from Teacher Yang, he realized that the Ye family's parents were not irresponsible and poor as he imagined. On the contrary, they would occasionally call the school to ask about Ye Jue's recent situation.
If you mess with a child like Ye Jue, if you don't deal with it cleanly, it will be endless.
But he was not willing to let him stop here.
"Ms. Liu" who was recuperating in the city is coming back.
If you don't get it once before you leave, all the "teacher games" you have played patiently this month will be in vain.
He is not a philanthropist.
Do not trade at a loss.
... The matter of home visits must be put on the agenda.
"Xiao Liu."
There was a lot of voices in the office.
A few teachers who had just returned from class poured hot water, their cheeks were flushed from the cold, and they looked at the heavy snow flying outside the window with some worry.
The weather is getting too fast.
The sky before the big snowstorm was the same as it is today. The snowflakes were as big as a fingernail, and the howling cold wind drowned out all sounds between the sky and the earth. The vision was limited, and it was a turbid scene.
With a smile on his face, Liu Xu looked at the hesitant Teacher Yang, his eyes darkened, but his voice remained unchanged: "What's wrong, Teacher Yang?"
It seemed a little cold, he coughed: "Is it about a home visit?"
Teacher Yang, who was worried about what to tell him, nodded immediately: "Yes, I originally planned to visit my home this Friday, but look at the weather, I'm okay, I've been in the mountains for a long time, but you haven't walked the snowy road much, it's a bit dangerous. "
"It's like this. If you trust me, I'll give you the information form after the home visit. After reading it, you can make a funding decision."
Feeling relieved, Liu Xu smiled, "I'm not afraid of trouble, Mr. Yang, you underestimated me, isn't that how I came to school back then."
The fingers rubbing the cup wall moved slowly, and he said: "And I already have someone in mind. It's Mr. Yang, there are seventy or eighty people in our class, and it will take a month to finish the family visit."
"Not a month, it should take half a month."
"Then you see, I'll help you share half of the task. I'll go to the homes of those children from poor families, and you to the homes of those who are about to drop out of school. We will divide the work and work together, and we will definitely be able to complete half of the tasks before the heavy snow falls."
Teacher Yang hesitated for a moment: "You help me?"
"In short, I have nothing to do. Apart from teaching mathematics, it is also very fulfilling to find something to do at other times."
A glint of light flashed in his eyes, and he tried his best to restrain the trembling of his fingertips. He smiled and looked at the man who was still hesitating: "And I also want to go to Ye Jue's house for a field trip. I thought about it last night. Funding this This kind of thing, don't make a decision too hastily."
After hearing these words, Teacher Yang pursed his lips, and couldn't find a reason to refuse.
Liu Xu thinks wholeheartedly about the children and is a good teacher.
After thinking for a moment, he nodded his head when he met the young man's gentle and eager eyes: "...that's fine."
"Then this Friday, I'll go directly to Ye Jue's home?" After quickly asking this question, the smile on Liu Xu's face became more intense.
Eyelids twitched inexplicably, and it was that feeling that made Teacher Yang uncomfortable.
At this moment, he made a decisive decision: "I'm with you!"
His smile froze, Liu Xu looked at him: "Huh? You're not going..."
"No!"
After saying a few words, Teacher Yang's inexplicably tense nerves since the day before yesterday finally relaxed.
He let out a heavy breath, and strengthened his mind: "I used to visit a whole class by myself, and if the time is longer, it will be longer, Xiao Liu, let's do it like this."
Nodding stiffly, Liu Xu's cheeks twitched, "...Okay, Teacher Yang, you are a good teacher."
damn it.
Annoyed in his heart, Liu Xu lowered his head expressionlessly to tidy up the table.
...There are so many people in the way.
This time I went to find out the situation of Ye Jue's house first, and it would not be too late to talk about the rest.
Knowing from Teacher Yang that she was going to visit her home this Friday, Ye Jue did not hesitate and immediately told Ji Heng the news.
In the empty and deserted side room, Ye Jue sat on Ji Heng's bed, dejectedly: "... Teacher Xiao Liu is coming too."
Ji Heng paused, "Liu Xu?"
"Ah?" It was only then that he remembered that Liu Xu was Teacher Xiao Liu's name, Ye Jue nodded, "Yes, he will come the day after tomorrow."
Making the bed unhurriedly, Ji Heng's eyelashes drooped slightly.
For some reason, after hearing the news, his complexion gradually softened, as if he had made a complete decision, and said, "I see."
Ye Jue didn't know why, but he didn't ask.
He has unconditional trust in Ji Heng, seeing Ji Heng continue to do his own thing slowly and without rush, his impetuous mood also calmed down.
When he was driven back to the side room to sleep, Ye Jue paused, and the black box he saw in the main room flashed through his mind.
...Why are there suddenly so many things that I haven't seen in the main room.
Before falling asleep, he was still thinking.
Did Grandpa Ji buy it?
……
……
A week passed by.
Soon it will be Friday.
As expected by the teachers, the weather in the mountains is changeable. There is only light snowfall in the provincial capital, but heavy snow has already fallen in the mountain villages backed by Dapan Mountain.
The snowflakes flying all over the sky covered the bare soil slope, and the mud pits that melted on the path were covered with snow again, and when one stepped on it, there was a "creaking" sound.
The cloudy sky was gray.
The light spilled through the tumbling and floating clouds, and it was difficult to see the subtleties.
The cold wind blew through the pinna, causing a sting.
Ye Jue was wearing a scarf and a hood, and he was sucking a lot.Wearing a thick cotton jacket, he walked in front with Teacher Yang who was also equipped with the same equipment.
A few steps behind him, Liu Xu, who didn't know the power of the wind and snow, was still wearing a well-fitting overcoat, his hair was already frozen, and he was trembling slightly when he walked.
"Xiao Liu," Teacher Yang looked at him coldly, and couldn't help asking, "How are you?"
"I'm fine," Liu Xu moved his numb fingers, and his eyes fell on Ye Jue. After seeing the colorful scarf he was wearing, he couldn't help but look away, and frowned uncomfortablely: "Is it almost there?"
"Well," Ye Jue nodded, wearing too thick clothes made him look extra bloated, "I'll be there soon."
There was a woman in the village who had just finished making dinner. She was taken aback when she saw Teacher Yang, and immediately smiled and said, "Mr. Yang, what are you doing here? Have you eaten dinner? If you haven't eaten, come to my house. The buns are made today!"
Teacher Yang's reputation in the village is second only to Teacher Liu.
The two teachers have stuck to their posts for half their lives, are serious and responsible, and work hard.
They taught many children who were admitted to high school in the mountains.
Aiwujiwu, everyone even took good care of Liu Xu, who had no teaching experience, and agreed to let him take over the class without even thinking about it.
Wave your hands, the wind and snow are too heavy, people can't see the way ahead.
Teacher Yang shouted: "No need, I'll go to Ye Jue's house to have a look, and then I'll leave."
"Oh," the woman realized, "I'm going to visit again? Then you go and come back quickly, I think it's going to snow heavily."
"it is good!"
Shouting twice, Teacher Yang was worried that Ye Jue's small body would not be able to withstand the cold, so he leaned over and patted off the snowflakes on his body, half-supporting his shoulders and said, "Come on, walk behind the teacher. Is it cold?"
Ye Jue shook his head quickly: "Teacher, I'm not cold."
"If it's cold, tell the teacher."
"it is good!"
Behind him, Liu Xu's eyes turned cold when he watched the two interacting intimately, and he became more annoyed when he saw Ye Jue's obedient appearance.
Finally, after passing through the thick snow, the three of them arrived at the shabby Ye family.
From the outside, the condition of the Ye family is indeed very poor, but in fact, Grandma Ye is a fastidious person. The firewood and food in the house are all neatly piled up.
Ye Jue stepped forward to unlock it.
Liu Xu followed without leaving a trace, looking in through the gap in the gate, and through the dark environment, he seemed to want to see the situation of Ye Jue's house clearly.
He was too close to Ye Jue.
Sensing the annoying aura keenly, Ye Jue immediately moved a few steps aside, not hiding his disgust and vigilance towards Liu Xu.
It's just that Liu Xu, who usually laughed it off, bent over to look at him for some reason today, his eyes were dark, his tone was obviously gentle, but his scalp was numb when he heard it.
"Ye Jue, why are you so afraid of the teacher?"
Ye Jue swallowed, the colorful scarf covered half of his face, his fingers were red from the cold, and he replied sullenly, "You think too much."
"Oh?" Liu Xu smiled: "Is the teacher thinking too much?"
Ye Jue: "Yes!"
Seeing this scene, Teacher Yang's eyelids twitched suddenly.
Seeing that Ye Jue was about to open the door, Liu Xu had already taken a step forward. Suddenly, an unknown ominous premonition came to his mind. He took a sudden step forward and grabbed Ye Jue.
"and many more!"
Ye Jue was taken aback, and obediently let him hold her, "Teacher?"
Liu Xu also turned his head, half of his face was hidden in the darkness, and he couldn't see clearly: "What's wrong, Teacher Yang?"
The Adam's apple was inexplicably dry, Teacher Yang pursed her lips, and a thick layer of snow had piled up on the steps in front of Ye Jue's house.
The turbid and gloomy sky was billowing with gray clouds, and the wind was bitter.
It seems to be showing the unknown.
At this moment, he once again made a decision based on intuition, "We won't go in!"
"Not going in?"
Liu Xu's smile obviously faltered, and he walked all the way enduring the cold and wind, his whole body was completely cold.
The handkerchief sprayed with drugs in his pocket was ready to go, and after he fainted Teacher Yang, he took advantage of the heavy wind and snow to do everything that should be done.
Now I can't talk to him, so what's the point of all he did? !
"why?"
Trying his best to suppress the murderous aura and anger, Liu Xu laughed stiffly, and asked the middle-aged man in front of him with his usual gentle posture: "I won't go in...then where shall we go?"
Randomly sweep the snow on the platform steps with your feet.
Teacher Yang simply squatted down, took out the home visit form in his pocket with his swollen fingers, and said, "This child's grandparents are not at home, what happened when we went in, just stay here to understand the situation."
Liu Xu lost his smile completely, and said expressionlessly: "Mr. Yang, we ran all the way here and didn't even drink a sip of hot water?"
"We can't take the needles and threads from the students' homes," the middle-aged man said righteously, and glanced at him with a bit of displeasure in his eyes: "Xiao Liu, you still need to improve your ideological awareness."
Liu Xu: "..."
Ye Jue was led by Teacher Yang to squat down, and the strong man blocked most of the cold wind.
When facing him, my voice was much gentler, and I wrote the words Yang Heping in the column of the class teacher one stroke at a time, and then asked him: "When will your grandma come back?"
Ye Jue replied honestly: "My grandma didn't say anything, but he asked me to go to the city to see my grandfather tomorrow."
"How to get there?" Yang Heping immediately asked with concern: "Teacher, let's go with you."
"No need, I'll take a scooter with...and an acquaintance."
Yang Heping was still worried. From the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Liu Xu who was standing in the darkness without saying a word. He swallowed the words in his throat again and asked about something else.
"Ye Jue, your grades are good, but you are very biased."
"Have you ever thought about what to do in the third year of junior high school?"
Ye Jue scratched his head, knowing that his grades in science were not good: "I will do more exercises."
The so-called practice questions were bought by Yang Heping out of his own pocket when he went to the market in the city.
The addition of all subjects is not a small sum. He has taught three classes of students with this set of questions, and the books have been worn out, but he still sticks to his post and continues to impart knowledge.
The mountain village is too small, and the outside world is very big.
The reason why he has been a teacher for 20 years is to let more children go out and see.
"Okay, if you have any questions you don't know, you should ask the teacher." Yang Heping glanced at Liu Xu: "Little teacher Liu is a person who has gone to college and has rich knowledge. You should learn more from him."
His complexion looked better now, Liu Xu's thoughts changed sharply, he also squatted down, put on a stiff smile and said, "Yes, Ye Jue, the teacher likes children who like to ask questions."
This is saying...
Teacher Yang frowned uncomfortably, and seeing Ye Jue's tight face, as if unwilling to talk to him, doubts slowly arose in his heart.
It was getting darker.
The wind was strong, sweeping the swirling snowflakes.
It's going to be a blizzard.
His heart sank, suppressing his doubts for now, Yang Heping hurriedly folded up the home visit form, and said to Ye Jue: "No, it's going to be a heavy snowstorm, Ye Jue, you should go home quickly, lock the doors and windows, do you still have firewood at home? "
"Have."
"Okay, Xiao Liu, let's go quickly... Xiao Liu! Why are you in a daze?"
Urging loudly, Liu Xu seemed to have just recovered from a certain state, the faint smile on his face disappeared into the darkness, and said to Ye Jue in the same gentle way.
"Then let's go, Ye Jue, remember to lock the doors and windows, it's windy tonight, so don't run around."
Glancing at him, he had already realized that he didn't like colorful colors, so Ye Jue deliberately lifted the scarf to cover half of his face, and said, "I see."
Sure enough, Liu Xu, who wanted to touch his hair, naturally withdrew his arm and walked away quickly behind Yang Heping.
They braved the wind and snow to leave.
After a while, a light layer of snowflakes piled up on the shoulders.
It wasn't until the two of them were no longer seen that Ye Jue locked the door again, and ran to Ji's house three steps at a time.
The door of Ji's house was not closed, but a small gap was opened, and he couldn't wait to find Ji Heng.
There was no sign of Ji Heng in the main room.
Mr. Ji seems to have something to worry about these days, he doesn't smile, and he always smokes cigarettes in silence.
Seeing Ye Jue now, he smiled and asked, "Xiao Ye, what are you looking for?"
"Grandpa Ji, where's my brother?"
"Huh," another cold snort, the old man pointed to the yard: "I don't know, I was still in the yard just now."
After leaving the main room, Ye Jue turned around strangely, and looked at the "black brick" next to Mr. Ji.
An antenna is inserted on the "black brick", and the surface is densely packed with small silver holes, which seem to be able to emit sound.
... Did the Ji family have this thing before?
Before he could think about it, there was a muffled sound in the yard.
A person jumped off the common wall connecting Ye and Ji's families.
The black-haired and black-eyed young man looked indifferent, raised his phoenix eyes slightly, and saw Ye Jue who was looking at him eagerly under the fence.
"what happened?"
Ji Heng walked towards the house.
Ye Jue hurriedly followed: "Brother, why did you go to my house?"
"I'm going to your house to find something tonight," Ji Heng said, "Give me the key to the gate."
Without thinking about the meaning of his words, Ye Jue subconsciously took out the key and handed it to him, "Brother, what are you looking for, I'll help you."
"No, you sleep well."
Ye Jue looked at the fence with a bit of greed, thinking about Ji Heng's graceful jump, his hands were itching more and more.
It's just that he has always listened to Ji Heng's words, since Ji Heng won't let him help, then he will sleep obediently.
Tomorrow will always know what Ji Heng is looking for.
……
This evening, the atmosphere at the dinner table was dull.
Mr. Ji, who always loves to chat with Ji Heng the most, drank his porridge in silence, and after drinking the porridge, he sat in the hall full of strange things, smoking a dry cigarette silently.
Ye Jue looked curiously at the small black square box in his hand, and old man Ji laughed cheerfully: "Do you like Xiao Yezi? If you like it, I'll give it to you."
Ye Jue shook his head immediately: "Grandpa Ji, what is this?"
"Call the radio," Mr. Ji patiently showed him the switch, "We don't see it here, but it's common in other places."
"Why are we so rare?"
Mr. Ji smiled and said, "Because I'm too poor."
"Little Leaf."
Old Man Ji stroked his hair, looked at the tall and tall figure walking towards the side room, his eyes were slightly red: "...we are too poor and have nothing."
After talking with Old Master Ji for a while, Ye Jue was going to go back to sleep.
It's just that tonight I don't know why, maybe it's too cold, or maybe it's because I've eaten too much dinner, his heart beats fast, and when there is no light between the sky and the earth, he clearly heard the sound of the door opening in the side room next door.
It's Ji Heng.
It's so late, what is he looking for?
Can you see it?
Worried that Ji Heng didn't know where his things were placed, Ye Jue couldn't fall asleep after tossing and turning, so he simply got dressed and closed the door lightly.
The yard was covered with a sheet of pure white snow.
Excluding all external factors, the heavy snow that will submerge some is a beautiful sight.
Stepping on it can leave a deep footprint, but after a while, it will be covered by falling snowflakes again.
He clumsily stepped on the pile of firewood in the corner, and finally stepped onto the wall, and jumped down with unconcealed excitement, ready to be as chic and easy as Ji Heng, but the next second, he was caught straight.
Startled, Ye Jue immediately opened his eyes.
Under the night, Ji Heng's complexion was colder than Shuo Feng's.
Looking down at him expressionlessly, the boy frowned without waiting for him to speak, and carried him into the Ye family hall.
Familiar ornaments come into view.
Ye Jue patted the snow on his body, jumped down happily, feeling very exciting, and even wanted to do it again.
"Brother," seeing Ji Heng sweeping the snow out of the house with a broom, Ye Jue didn't understand, so he said, "No need to sweep, just wait for it to melt on its own."
Concrete floors are highly absorbent and dry in a short time.
Ji Heng put away the broom and looked at him coldly: "Why are you here?"
Seeing that he was in a bad mood and remembering Ji Heng's violent temper in the first two years, Ye Jue carefully explained: "I'm afraid you won't find anything, so I want to help you."
Ji Heng is wearing an extra light thin jacket today.
Ye Jue had heard that this kind of jacket was called a down jacket, and it had big pockets, divided into inner and outer pockets.
Last year, Ji Heng gave him the same style of clothes as a New Year gift, but Grandma Ye returned the clothes on the same day, and even exchanged pleasantries with Ji Heng with a smile.
The heavy snow was blowing, Ji Heng stood quietly on the steps of Ye's house, did not enter the house, and listened to the words of the two old people, and from then on, he began to distance himself from him.
Thinking of this past event again, Ye Jue couldn't help but want to ask Ji Heng what exactly Grandpa Ye and Grandma Ye had said to him.
Before he could ask, Ji Heng's complexion suddenly changed, and he walked quickly to the closed door of the main room, and looked out through the crack of the door.
In the next second, his complexion darkened, and his black eyes were full of suspicions that had come true.
The layout of the Ye family is different from that of the Ji family.
The main room and the side room are next to each other, separated only by a wooden door.
After discovering that there was no back door and no side door, Ji Heng's face was condensed, and he grabbed Ye Jue and quickly entered the side room.
"elder brother?"
He was so silent, Ye Jue's heart beat suddenly, and he felt uneasy inexplicably: "What's wrong?"
Compared with the main room, the side room is twice as small. There is only a bed and a large wardrobe, and the rest are some odds and ends that take up space.
Looking around, Ji Heng's tone was low and cold: "Don't talk."
Opening the closet door, he quickly pushed Ye Jue in, his voice was very soft: "Ye Jue, no matter what happens in a while, don't make any noise."
"Brother," a thin and weak voice came from the gap, "what's the matter?"
Finally, he realized that something was wrong with Ji Heng. There were still four or five cotton-padded clothes floating in the closet, blocking the light and making him unable to see clearly.
He couldn't help but want to ask, but Ji Heng asked him coldly: "Do you remember what I said?"
"...Well," the eyes of the murderer were red, Ye Jue didn't dare to make a sound, and said muffledly: "Remember."
He moved his position carefully, moved from the depths of the cabinet to the gap, and saw Ji Heng's movements slightly through the silver light reflected from the snow.
The slender boy took off his shoes, and the side room was where the Ye family's grandparents lived. After making sure that he didn't dirty the bedding, Ji Heng stretched the quilt and lay down in it.
He leaned against the door and curled up. The winter quilt was already thick and heavy. At first glance, Ye Jue thought he was lying there.
He kept Ji Heng's order in mind, did not speak, and remained motionless.
Finally, his squatting legs became numb.
Just as he was about to change his posture quietly, in the dead and dark snowy night, there was a slight sound mixed with the sound of the wind, step by step, slowly, like a ghostly shadow, approaching the main room.
Breathing suddenly suffocated, Ye Jue suddenly opened his eyes wide.
Soon, he heard the sound of picking the lock more clearly.
The fragile lock of the main room opened with a "click".
Immediately afterwards, the unhurried footsteps stepped on the wind and snow, walking around as if looking for something.
Walking to the wooden door as if wandering, he knocked on the door lightly, waited for two seconds, and after hearing nothing, the sound of picking the lock that made Ye Jue's teeth ache rang out again.
……thief!
... There are thieves!
Ye Jue immediately wanted to remind Ji Heng who was motionless, but Ji Heng on the bed seemed to know what he was thinking and shook the quilt.
Familiar with the opponent's body movements, Ye Jue swallowed the reminder reflexively.
He tightened his clothes in surprise, swallowed, and watched the next scene almost holding his breath.
……
……
"Crunch".
The wooden door was in disrepair and the lock was almost a decoration.
Someone walked in.
Ji Heng's face remained unchanged, he caught every move of the man in the room.
He didn't go to bed for the first time.
The man looked around the room as if he was strolling around, without touching the things in the house, he was more curious, or in other words, with a spying mentality, spying on the traces left by the master.
The eyes became colder, and Ji Heng slowed down his breathing expressionlessly.
Soon, the man withdrew his gaze, and his uncontrollable chuckle sounded in the air, mixed with excitement, emotion, and fanaticism of dreams coming true, and the familiar voice confirmed Ji Heng's guess.
Liu Xu!
This Liu Xu... really has bad intentions.
This is certainly not his first crime.
Killing and throwing away corpses, or abducting and trafficking children?
What is the intention?
Footsteps gradually approached the bed.
Just when Ji Heng was ready for everything, the man suddenly stopped by the bed, bent down, and looked at him from top to bottom with an obsessive and viscous gaze.
The sight is disgusting.
In the blink of an eye, Ji Heng thought of what Ye Jue had said to him earlier.
- "Someone is watching me".
Keenly aware that something was wrong, Ji Heng frowned, buried his head in the quilt, and did not move as if he was afraid of the cold.
...Why do you use this look?
Something is wrong, Liu Xu is not like a murderer or a human trafficker.
Finally, he heard Liu Xu's gentle and smiling voice.
The man approached the tightly closed quilt and called, "Ye Jue...Ye Jue? Don't sleep, the 'teacher' is here to find you."
Noticing that the boy was not moving, he laughed. His face, which was specially sprayed with perfume and hairspray, was neat and clean, but his eyes under the gold-rimmed glasses were dark and eager, as if he would pull off the quilt in the next second and touch him intimately.
"Ye Jue?"
"Ye Jue? Wake up, 'Teacher' is here to play games with you."
Still unable to hold back the longing in his heart, Liu Xu's smile on his face was extremely treacherous, and he stretched out his hand, like a lamb to be slaughtered, and tore off the quilt with a "pop--".
Almost enjoying the next scream, Liu Xu closed his eyes intoxicated.
Screaming, crying, fear, and finally despair and resignation.
His favorite pre-dinner dessert, every time he relishes it, there is a burst of extreme excitement.
It's just different today, he didn't wait for the scream he should have, he lowered his head hesitantly, but bumped into a pair of gloomy and cold eyes.
The handsome and thin boy looked at him expressionlessly, and slowly narrowed his eyes: "What are you playing?"
Before Liu Xu could react, he slammed a punch, and the wind of the fist hit Liu Xu with a blank face with lightning speed.
Ji Heng suddenly exploded, with undisguised hostility in his eyes: "—I said, what do you want to play?"
From Ye Jue to Ji Heng.
This scene was so impactful that Liu Xu was caught off guard by Ji Heng and knocked down to the ground. The rough concrete floor made him scream.
"what--"
It's a pity that today is a snowstorm night, and the howling and frenzied new wind drowned out all sounds.
The pain stimulated his nerves, he reacted suddenly, and quickly rolled to the side, with horror and anger in his eyes: "This is your home?!"
"This is the Ye family."
Without giving him any chance to breathe, Ji Heng quickly chased after him.
Stepping on the icy ground with bare feet, his face was condensed, he picked up the bench, and with the sound of howling wind, he swung straight at Liu Xu's head!
There was a hint of murderous intent in Liu Xu's eyes. His eyes were red, his arms were crossed to cover his face, and he stood on the bench abruptly. Under the severe pain, he suddenly regained consciousness.
"You know Ye Jue?!"
No wonder...!
No wonder this boy named Ji Heng would always step in every time he was about to succeed!
They actually know each other!
Actually know!
Realizing that he was being tricked, Liu Xu shouted angrily, "Ah——!"
Is it an adult, or an adult in the youngest period? Liu Xu has committed crimes in recent years, and he has licked blood at the tip of the knife. If it wasn't for the important evidence left behind by the last attack, he would not change his name. , fled overnight to the southwest.
Fortunately, people in Southwest Mountain Village are easy to deceive. He casually said that he was a teacher's child, and these people believed them all.
It's just that he didn't expect that he was so wise in his life——that he overturned the car in the hands of two little kids!
"Are you kidding me?!"
Picking up the shattered stool leg with his backhand, Liu Xu slammed it at Ji Heng when he saw the timing.
Ji Heng dodged immediately, panting slightly, but his face remained completely unchanged.
The two immediately fought into a ball.
Ji Heng's body is sensitive, and he seems to have received systematic training, and has evaded Liu Xu's ultimate move several times.
The more the beating went on, the more frightened Liu Xu became.
He had been a soldier for two years, so of course he knew the general agility of the troops training arms.
This Ji Heng...? !
During the scuffle, he gained the upper hand for a while, but he was about to exhaust himself. The boy under his body was short of breath, and his pupils were cold and frightening. After all, he was still young, and his strength was not comparable to that of an adult.
Turning his mind, he smiled sullenly, looked at the young man who was obviously going to fight with him, and suddenly said, "Are you Ye Jue's little boyfriend?"
There was no change on his face, Ji Heng suddenly twisted his body and suppressed him again.
Liu Xu, who relied on all his strength to hold on, squinted his eyes, and continued to ask ambiguously, "Why did you show up at his house?"
"Have you already tasted him?"
His complexion suddenly turned cold, and Ji Heng's eyes were so dark that he couldn't see to the end. Suddenly, there was a storm, and there was a hint of rage in his eyes.
"I knew that your little boys can play," Liu Xu said with a meaningful smile: "I also think Ye Jue is good-looking, look at those eyes and small mouth, isn't it sweet to kiss, isn't it on the bed? -"
"what--!"
Ji Heng, who had been fighting with him silently from the beginning to the end, finally changed his face completely, and the sudden burst of great strength almost made Liu Xu unable to resist.
He endured the severe pain forcefully, gritted his teeth and swallowed the blood in his throat, looked at Ji Heng's cold look, giggled again and said, "If I didn't come to the toilet that day, you would have been there with him... "
He was still smiling, looking at the bloodshot eyes that gradually appeared in Ji Heng's eyes, he became more and more excited.
"Little boys like them are very dirty. They are dumb when they play. They don't know anything. If you like Ye Jue, we can share it together..."
"boom--"
A loud bang.
Liu Xu's face was pale, and with a "wow", he vomited a large pool of blood.
In the darkness, there were black and white dots in front of his eyes, and the whistling snow wind blew outside the window, and the dim light penetrated through the gap, shining on the young man's beautiful and delicate face.
Ye Jue's face was pale, but his hands were steady, and he directly punched a hole in his head, with tears on his face, he called out in panic, "...Brother!"
After hitting this stick, he turned around and wanted to go out to call someone.
After looking at each other with Ji Heng, he stopped abruptly.
...Ye Jue?
In the flickering spots of light, Liu Xu's expression was horrified, and he instantly realized that everything tonight was tricked by him.
His vision was blurry, and the back of his head was broken.
In his eyes, Ji Heng turned over and pressed against his chest with terrifying force, causing his entire chest to burst into severe pain.
"Cough cough cough..."
He vomited a few more mouthfuls of blood.
The eyes of the boy suppressed on his body were gradually stained with scarlet killing intent.
The house was filled with a choking smell of smoke.
Ye Jue looked suspiciously at the old man under the light, paused, and said obediently, "I'm back."
"I'll go get the dishes."
The room was dimly lit with oil lamps, and after he was nowhere to be seen, the smile on Old Man Ji's face slowly disappeared, and he took a puff of cigarette sullenly, and said, "What are you doing with the pestle?"
Ji Heng didn't speak, and it took a long time before he entered the room, his eyes swept over the many electrical appliances that suddenly appeared in the room, including radios, TVs, refrigerators and so on.
He seemed to have a premonition and said, "They are here."
"Well," Old Man Ji snorted coldly: "Don't look at me like that, they think you've suffered a lot if you follow me. Can I not let you go back if I bring so many people here at once?"
Ji Heng frowned: "Now?"
"It was agreed to wait for you to graduate, who knows what your old man thinks," Mr. Ji paused after speaking, and looked up at him in surprise: "You don't want to go back?"
Ji Heng didn't answer this question, but just asked: "When exactly?"
The old man snorted self-indulgently, took a puff of cigarette, "I don't know."
"If you have something to do, hurry up, it's only a few days."
In the large shadow cast by the eaves, Ji Heng nodded slowly, "Yes."
For the next week, Ye Jue was very vigilant about Liu Xu's every move. Liu Xu seemed to know that he was not welcome, so he didn't approach him easily.
A delicate peace persists.
Ye Jue finally dared to listen to his class after he couldn't feel the constant attention from him.
Another math class.
It snowed for several days in a row, but instead of clearing up, the weather became grayer and grayer.
The dim sky shrouded the village middle school, the cold wind howled, and there were no classmates playing on the playground. Everyone sat in the room honestly, whispering, and turned a blind eye to Liu Xu who was lecturing on the stage.
Ye Jue was sitting upright today, his eyes fixed on the blackboard, and he carefully took notes following the steps of the explanation.
The small voices in his ears from time to time calmed his mind.
It seemed that he had found a problem, so he didn't look up again, but carefully drew a draft on the notebook, and after checking the answer, he carefully erased it.
"Is there a problem?"
A chuckle suddenly sounded in his ear, and his heart beat suddenly. Ye Jue looked up and saw Liu Xu leaning over beside the table.
Moved to the side without leaving a trace, Ye Jue's face was tense, "No."
Liu Xu smiled gently, and his eyes flicked across the beautiful and small moles at the end of his eyes, like a hungry wolf that smelled the smell of meat, the muscles on his face trembled excitedly, and he wanted to approach him, when there was a sudden sound behind him.
"Teacher," the boy's moderate voice drowned out all the voices around him, "You are blocking me."
Hatred in his heart for his ignorance, Liu Xu had no choice but to back away a few steps, and when he heard the sound and looked around, he saw Ji Heng standing quietly in the corner of the last row.
……This is?
The familiar face immediately made him vigilant. As a veteran criminal, Liu Xu has his own way of knowing people.
Even if it is a left-behind child, someone like Ji Heng, who is tall, big and thoughtful, and can still be called a child, must not be provoked.
What made Liu Xu even more vigilant was that he could not feel any emotional changes from Ji Heng.
He didn't know what kind of attitude the child had towards him.
Not approaching, not disgusted, not disgusted, everything seemed ordinary, but it made him inexplicably terrified.
He has always picked out children who are outstanding in appearance, from poor families, and have some low self-esteem. This kind of child has not enjoyed the love of their parents all year round, and they can be devoted to others with a little benefit.
Easy to pick up and even easier to throw off.
Ye Jue is actually not the best solution. He is beautiful and smart. Although he is well-behaved, he is also very vigilant.
He even has the most sensitive sixth sense among children, no matter how gently he coaxes him, he has never been fooled once.
If he failed twice before, he would not take the risk to continue.
However -
His mind was wandering, and out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Ye Jue who didn't do his homework for some reason, but turned his head to look at Ye Jue in the last row.
The well-behaved and fair young boy frowned, Ruifeng's eyes gleamed, his tear mole was light, and his whole face was full of delicacy that can only be possessed after careful care. Even though he was young, this face had already begun to show its beauty.
His period of liking the new and disliking the old is short.
Often after a child gets started, he or she will dislike it within a month.
But Ye Jue was different, he even thought of adopting him.
...It's a pity that Ye Jue has a father and a mother.
These days, after inquiring about the Ye family from Teacher Yang, he realized that the Ye family's parents were not irresponsible and poor as he imagined. On the contrary, they would occasionally call the school to ask about Ye Jue's recent situation.
If you mess with a child like Ye Jue, if you don't deal with it cleanly, it will be endless.
But he was not willing to let him stop here.
"Ms. Liu" who was recuperating in the city is coming back.
If you don't get it once before you leave, all the "teacher games" you have played patiently this month will be in vain.
He is not a philanthropist.
Do not trade at a loss.
... The matter of home visits must be put on the agenda.
"Xiao Liu."
There was a lot of voices in the office.
A few teachers who had just returned from class poured hot water, their cheeks were flushed from the cold, and they looked at the heavy snow flying outside the window with some worry.
The weather is getting too fast.
The sky before the big snowstorm was the same as it is today. The snowflakes were as big as a fingernail, and the howling cold wind drowned out all sounds between the sky and the earth. The vision was limited, and it was a turbid scene.
With a smile on his face, Liu Xu looked at the hesitant Teacher Yang, his eyes darkened, but his voice remained unchanged: "What's wrong, Teacher Yang?"
It seemed a little cold, he coughed: "Is it about a home visit?"
Teacher Yang, who was worried about what to tell him, nodded immediately: "Yes, I originally planned to visit my home this Friday, but look at the weather, I'm okay, I've been in the mountains for a long time, but you haven't walked the snowy road much, it's a bit dangerous. "
"It's like this. If you trust me, I'll give you the information form after the home visit. After reading it, you can make a funding decision."
Feeling relieved, Liu Xu smiled, "I'm not afraid of trouble, Mr. Yang, you underestimated me, isn't that how I came to school back then."
The fingers rubbing the cup wall moved slowly, and he said: "And I already have someone in mind. It's Mr. Yang, there are seventy or eighty people in our class, and it will take a month to finish the family visit."
"Not a month, it should take half a month."
"Then you see, I'll help you share half of the task. I'll go to the homes of those children from poor families, and you to the homes of those who are about to drop out of school. We will divide the work and work together, and we will definitely be able to complete half of the tasks before the heavy snow falls."
Teacher Yang hesitated for a moment: "You help me?"
"In short, I have nothing to do. Apart from teaching mathematics, it is also very fulfilling to find something to do at other times."
A glint of light flashed in his eyes, and he tried his best to restrain the trembling of his fingertips. He smiled and looked at the man who was still hesitating: "And I also want to go to Ye Jue's house for a field trip. I thought about it last night. Funding this This kind of thing, don't make a decision too hastily."
After hearing these words, Teacher Yang pursed his lips, and couldn't find a reason to refuse.
Liu Xu thinks wholeheartedly about the children and is a good teacher.
After thinking for a moment, he nodded his head when he met the young man's gentle and eager eyes: "...that's fine."
"Then this Friday, I'll go directly to Ye Jue's home?" After quickly asking this question, the smile on Liu Xu's face became more intense.
Eyelids twitched inexplicably, and it was that feeling that made Teacher Yang uncomfortable.
At this moment, he made a decisive decision: "I'm with you!"
His smile froze, Liu Xu looked at him: "Huh? You're not going..."
"No!"
After saying a few words, Teacher Yang's inexplicably tense nerves since the day before yesterday finally relaxed.
He let out a heavy breath, and strengthened his mind: "I used to visit a whole class by myself, and if the time is longer, it will be longer, Xiao Liu, let's do it like this."
Nodding stiffly, Liu Xu's cheeks twitched, "...Okay, Teacher Yang, you are a good teacher."
damn it.
Annoyed in his heart, Liu Xu lowered his head expressionlessly to tidy up the table.
...There are so many people in the way.
This time I went to find out the situation of Ye Jue's house first, and it would not be too late to talk about the rest.
Knowing from Teacher Yang that she was going to visit her home this Friday, Ye Jue did not hesitate and immediately told Ji Heng the news.
In the empty and deserted side room, Ye Jue sat on Ji Heng's bed, dejectedly: "... Teacher Xiao Liu is coming too."
Ji Heng paused, "Liu Xu?"
"Ah?" It was only then that he remembered that Liu Xu was Teacher Xiao Liu's name, Ye Jue nodded, "Yes, he will come the day after tomorrow."
Making the bed unhurriedly, Ji Heng's eyelashes drooped slightly.
For some reason, after hearing the news, his complexion gradually softened, as if he had made a complete decision, and said, "I see."
Ye Jue didn't know why, but he didn't ask.
He has unconditional trust in Ji Heng, seeing Ji Heng continue to do his own thing slowly and without rush, his impetuous mood also calmed down.
When he was driven back to the side room to sleep, Ye Jue paused, and the black box he saw in the main room flashed through his mind.
...Why are there suddenly so many things that I haven't seen in the main room.
Before falling asleep, he was still thinking.
Did Grandpa Ji buy it?
……
……
A week passed by.
Soon it will be Friday.
As expected by the teachers, the weather in the mountains is changeable. There is only light snowfall in the provincial capital, but heavy snow has already fallen in the mountain villages backed by Dapan Mountain.
The snowflakes flying all over the sky covered the bare soil slope, and the mud pits that melted on the path were covered with snow again, and when one stepped on it, there was a "creaking" sound.
The cloudy sky was gray.
The light spilled through the tumbling and floating clouds, and it was difficult to see the subtleties.
The cold wind blew through the pinna, causing a sting.
Ye Jue was wearing a scarf and a hood, and he was sucking a lot.Wearing a thick cotton jacket, he walked in front with Teacher Yang who was also equipped with the same equipment.
A few steps behind him, Liu Xu, who didn't know the power of the wind and snow, was still wearing a well-fitting overcoat, his hair was already frozen, and he was trembling slightly when he walked.
"Xiao Liu," Teacher Yang looked at him coldly, and couldn't help asking, "How are you?"
"I'm fine," Liu Xu moved his numb fingers, and his eyes fell on Ye Jue. After seeing the colorful scarf he was wearing, he couldn't help but look away, and frowned uncomfortablely: "Is it almost there?"
"Well," Ye Jue nodded, wearing too thick clothes made him look extra bloated, "I'll be there soon."
There was a woman in the village who had just finished making dinner. She was taken aback when she saw Teacher Yang, and immediately smiled and said, "Mr. Yang, what are you doing here? Have you eaten dinner? If you haven't eaten, come to my house. The buns are made today!"
Teacher Yang's reputation in the village is second only to Teacher Liu.
The two teachers have stuck to their posts for half their lives, are serious and responsible, and work hard.
They taught many children who were admitted to high school in the mountains.
Aiwujiwu, everyone even took good care of Liu Xu, who had no teaching experience, and agreed to let him take over the class without even thinking about it.
Wave your hands, the wind and snow are too heavy, people can't see the way ahead.
Teacher Yang shouted: "No need, I'll go to Ye Jue's house to have a look, and then I'll leave."
"Oh," the woman realized, "I'm going to visit again? Then you go and come back quickly, I think it's going to snow heavily."
"it is good!"
Shouting twice, Teacher Yang was worried that Ye Jue's small body would not be able to withstand the cold, so he leaned over and patted off the snowflakes on his body, half-supporting his shoulders and said, "Come on, walk behind the teacher. Is it cold?"
Ye Jue shook his head quickly: "Teacher, I'm not cold."
"If it's cold, tell the teacher."
"it is good!"
Behind him, Liu Xu's eyes turned cold when he watched the two interacting intimately, and he became more annoyed when he saw Ye Jue's obedient appearance.
Finally, after passing through the thick snow, the three of them arrived at the shabby Ye family.
From the outside, the condition of the Ye family is indeed very poor, but in fact, Grandma Ye is a fastidious person. The firewood and food in the house are all neatly piled up.
Ye Jue stepped forward to unlock it.
Liu Xu followed without leaving a trace, looking in through the gap in the gate, and through the dark environment, he seemed to want to see the situation of Ye Jue's house clearly.
He was too close to Ye Jue.
Sensing the annoying aura keenly, Ye Jue immediately moved a few steps aside, not hiding his disgust and vigilance towards Liu Xu.
It's just that Liu Xu, who usually laughed it off, bent over to look at him for some reason today, his eyes were dark, his tone was obviously gentle, but his scalp was numb when he heard it.
"Ye Jue, why are you so afraid of the teacher?"
Ye Jue swallowed, the colorful scarf covered half of his face, his fingers were red from the cold, and he replied sullenly, "You think too much."
"Oh?" Liu Xu smiled: "Is the teacher thinking too much?"
Ye Jue: "Yes!"
Seeing this scene, Teacher Yang's eyelids twitched suddenly.
Seeing that Ye Jue was about to open the door, Liu Xu had already taken a step forward. Suddenly, an unknown ominous premonition came to his mind. He took a sudden step forward and grabbed Ye Jue.
"and many more!"
Ye Jue was taken aback, and obediently let him hold her, "Teacher?"
Liu Xu also turned his head, half of his face was hidden in the darkness, and he couldn't see clearly: "What's wrong, Teacher Yang?"
The Adam's apple was inexplicably dry, Teacher Yang pursed her lips, and a thick layer of snow had piled up on the steps in front of Ye Jue's house.
The turbid and gloomy sky was billowing with gray clouds, and the wind was bitter.
It seems to be showing the unknown.
At this moment, he once again made a decision based on intuition, "We won't go in!"
"Not going in?"
Liu Xu's smile obviously faltered, and he walked all the way enduring the cold and wind, his whole body was completely cold.
The handkerchief sprayed with drugs in his pocket was ready to go, and after he fainted Teacher Yang, he took advantage of the heavy wind and snow to do everything that should be done.
Now I can't talk to him, so what's the point of all he did? !
"why?"
Trying his best to suppress the murderous aura and anger, Liu Xu laughed stiffly, and asked the middle-aged man in front of him with his usual gentle posture: "I won't go in...then where shall we go?"
Randomly sweep the snow on the platform steps with your feet.
Teacher Yang simply squatted down, took out the home visit form in his pocket with his swollen fingers, and said, "This child's grandparents are not at home, what happened when we went in, just stay here to understand the situation."
Liu Xu lost his smile completely, and said expressionlessly: "Mr. Yang, we ran all the way here and didn't even drink a sip of hot water?"
"We can't take the needles and threads from the students' homes," the middle-aged man said righteously, and glanced at him with a bit of displeasure in his eyes: "Xiao Liu, you still need to improve your ideological awareness."
Liu Xu: "..."
Ye Jue was led by Teacher Yang to squat down, and the strong man blocked most of the cold wind.
When facing him, my voice was much gentler, and I wrote the words Yang Heping in the column of the class teacher one stroke at a time, and then asked him: "When will your grandma come back?"
Ye Jue replied honestly: "My grandma didn't say anything, but he asked me to go to the city to see my grandfather tomorrow."
"How to get there?" Yang Heping immediately asked with concern: "Teacher, let's go with you."
"No need, I'll take a scooter with...and an acquaintance."
Yang Heping was still worried. From the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Liu Xu who was standing in the darkness without saying a word. He swallowed the words in his throat again and asked about something else.
"Ye Jue, your grades are good, but you are very biased."
"Have you ever thought about what to do in the third year of junior high school?"
Ye Jue scratched his head, knowing that his grades in science were not good: "I will do more exercises."
The so-called practice questions were bought by Yang Heping out of his own pocket when he went to the market in the city.
The addition of all subjects is not a small sum. He has taught three classes of students with this set of questions, and the books have been worn out, but he still sticks to his post and continues to impart knowledge.
The mountain village is too small, and the outside world is very big.
The reason why he has been a teacher for 20 years is to let more children go out and see.
"Okay, if you have any questions you don't know, you should ask the teacher." Yang Heping glanced at Liu Xu: "Little teacher Liu is a person who has gone to college and has rich knowledge. You should learn more from him."
His complexion looked better now, Liu Xu's thoughts changed sharply, he also squatted down, put on a stiff smile and said, "Yes, Ye Jue, the teacher likes children who like to ask questions."
This is saying...
Teacher Yang frowned uncomfortably, and seeing Ye Jue's tight face, as if unwilling to talk to him, doubts slowly arose in his heart.
It was getting darker.
The wind was strong, sweeping the swirling snowflakes.
It's going to be a blizzard.
His heart sank, suppressing his doubts for now, Yang Heping hurriedly folded up the home visit form, and said to Ye Jue: "No, it's going to be a heavy snowstorm, Ye Jue, you should go home quickly, lock the doors and windows, do you still have firewood at home? "
"Have."
"Okay, Xiao Liu, let's go quickly... Xiao Liu! Why are you in a daze?"
Urging loudly, Liu Xu seemed to have just recovered from a certain state, the faint smile on his face disappeared into the darkness, and said to Ye Jue in the same gentle way.
"Then let's go, Ye Jue, remember to lock the doors and windows, it's windy tonight, so don't run around."
Glancing at him, he had already realized that he didn't like colorful colors, so Ye Jue deliberately lifted the scarf to cover half of his face, and said, "I see."
Sure enough, Liu Xu, who wanted to touch his hair, naturally withdrew his arm and walked away quickly behind Yang Heping.
They braved the wind and snow to leave.
After a while, a light layer of snowflakes piled up on the shoulders.
It wasn't until the two of them were no longer seen that Ye Jue locked the door again, and ran to Ji's house three steps at a time.
The door of Ji's house was not closed, but a small gap was opened, and he couldn't wait to find Ji Heng.
There was no sign of Ji Heng in the main room.
Mr. Ji seems to have something to worry about these days, he doesn't smile, and he always smokes cigarettes in silence.
Seeing Ye Jue now, he smiled and asked, "Xiao Ye, what are you looking for?"
"Grandpa Ji, where's my brother?"
"Huh," another cold snort, the old man pointed to the yard: "I don't know, I was still in the yard just now."
After leaving the main room, Ye Jue turned around strangely, and looked at the "black brick" next to Mr. Ji.
An antenna is inserted on the "black brick", and the surface is densely packed with small silver holes, which seem to be able to emit sound.
... Did the Ji family have this thing before?
Before he could think about it, there was a muffled sound in the yard.
A person jumped off the common wall connecting Ye and Ji's families.
The black-haired and black-eyed young man looked indifferent, raised his phoenix eyes slightly, and saw Ye Jue who was looking at him eagerly under the fence.
"what happened?"
Ji Heng walked towards the house.
Ye Jue hurriedly followed: "Brother, why did you go to my house?"
"I'm going to your house to find something tonight," Ji Heng said, "Give me the key to the gate."
Without thinking about the meaning of his words, Ye Jue subconsciously took out the key and handed it to him, "Brother, what are you looking for, I'll help you."
"No, you sleep well."
Ye Jue looked at the fence with a bit of greed, thinking about Ji Heng's graceful jump, his hands were itching more and more.
It's just that he has always listened to Ji Heng's words, since Ji Heng won't let him help, then he will sleep obediently.
Tomorrow will always know what Ji Heng is looking for.
……
This evening, the atmosphere at the dinner table was dull.
Mr. Ji, who always loves to chat with Ji Heng the most, drank his porridge in silence, and after drinking the porridge, he sat in the hall full of strange things, smoking a dry cigarette silently.
Ye Jue looked curiously at the small black square box in his hand, and old man Ji laughed cheerfully: "Do you like Xiao Yezi? If you like it, I'll give it to you."
Ye Jue shook his head immediately: "Grandpa Ji, what is this?"
"Call the radio," Mr. Ji patiently showed him the switch, "We don't see it here, but it's common in other places."
"Why are we so rare?"
Mr. Ji smiled and said, "Because I'm too poor."
"Little Leaf."
Old Man Ji stroked his hair, looked at the tall and tall figure walking towards the side room, his eyes were slightly red: "...we are too poor and have nothing."
After talking with Old Master Ji for a while, Ye Jue was going to go back to sleep.
It's just that tonight I don't know why, maybe it's too cold, or maybe it's because I've eaten too much dinner, his heart beats fast, and when there is no light between the sky and the earth, he clearly heard the sound of the door opening in the side room next door.
It's Ji Heng.
It's so late, what is he looking for?
Can you see it?
Worried that Ji Heng didn't know where his things were placed, Ye Jue couldn't fall asleep after tossing and turning, so he simply got dressed and closed the door lightly.
The yard was covered with a sheet of pure white snow.
Excluding all external factors, the heavy snow that will submerge some is a beautiful sight.
Stepping on it can leave a deep footprint, but after a while, it will be covered by falling snowflakes again.
He clumsily stepped on the pile of firewood in the corner, and finally stepped onto the wall, and jumped down with unconcealed excitement, ready to be as chic and easy as Ji Heng, but the next second, he was caught straight.
Startled, Ye Jue immediately opened his eyes.
Under the night, Ji Heng's complexion was colder than Shuo Feng's.
Looking down at him expressionlessly, the boy frowned without waiting for him to speak, and carried him into the Ye family hall.
Familiar ornaments come into view.
Ye Jue patted the snow on his body, jumped down happily, feeling very exciting, and even wanted to do it again.
"Brother," seeing Ji Heng sweeping the snow out of the house with a broom, Ye Jue didn't understand, so he said, "No need to sweep, just wait for it to melt on its own."
Concrete floors are highly absorbent and dry in a short time.
Ji Heng put away the broom and looked at him coldly: "Why are you here?"
Seeing that he was in a bad mood and remembering Ji Heng's violent temper in the first two years, Ye Jue carefully explained: "I'm afraid you won't find anything, so I want to help you."
Ji Heng is wearing an extra light thin jacket today.
Ye Jue had heard that this kind of jacket was called a down jacket, and it had big pockets, divided into inner and outer pockets.
Last year, Ji Heng gave him the same style of clothes as a New Year gift, but Grandma Ye returned the clothes on the same day, and even exchanged pleasantries with Ji Heng with a smile.
The heavy snow was blowing, Ji Heng stood quietly on the steps of Ye's house, did not enter the house, and listened to the words of the two old people, and from then on, he began to distance himself from him.
Thinking of this past event again, Ye Jue couldn't help but want to ask Ji Heng what exactly Grandpa Ye and Grandma Ye had said to him.
Before he could ask, Ji Heng's complexion suddenly changed, and he walked quickly to the closed door of the main room, and looked out through the crack of the door.
In the next second, his complexion darkened, and his black eyes were full of suspicions that had come true.
The layout of the Ye family is different from that of the Ji family.
The main room and the side room are next to each other, separated only by a wooden door.
After discovering that there was no back door and no side door, Ji Heng's face was condensed, and he grabbed Ye Jue and quickly entered the side room.
"elder brother?"
He was so silent, Ye Jue's heart beat suddenly, and he felt uneasy inexplicably: "What's wrong?"
Compared with the main room, the side room is twice as small. There is only a bed and a large wardrobe, and the rest are some odds and ends that take up space.
Looking around, Ji Heng's tone was low and cold: "Don't talk."
Opening the closet door, he quickly pushed Ye Jue in, his voice was very soft: "Ye Jue, no matter what happens in a while, don't make any noise."
"Brother," a thin and weak voice came from the gap, "what's the matter?"
Finally, he realized that something was wrong with Ji Heng. There were still four or five cotton-padded clothes floating in the closet, blocking the light and making him unable to see clearly.
He couldn't help but want to ask, but Ji Heng asked him coldly: "Do you remember what I said?"
"...Well," the eyes of the murderer were red, Ye Jue didn't dare to make a sound, and said muffledly: "Remember."
He moved his position carefully, moved from the depths of the cabinet to the gap, and saw Ji Heng's movements slightly through the silver light reflected from the snow.
The slender boy took off his shoes, and the side room was where the Ye family's grandparents lived. After making sure that he didn't dirty the bedding, Ji Heng stretched the quilt and lay down in it.
He leaned against the door and curled up. The winter quilt was already thick and heavy. At first glance, Ye Jue thought he was lying there.
He kept Ji Heng's order in mind, did not speak, and remained motionless.
Finally, his squatting legs became numb.
Just as he was about to change his posture quietly, in the dead and dark snowy night, there was a slight sound mixed with the sound of the wind, step by step, slowly, like a ghostly shadow, approaching the main room.
Breathing suddenly suffocated, Ye Jue suddenly opened his eyes wide.
Soon, he heard the sound of picking the lock more clearly.
The fragile lock of the main room opened with a "click".
Immediately afterwards, the unhurried footsteps stepped on the wind and snow, walking around as if looking for something.
Walking to the wooden door as if wandering, he knocked on the door lightly, waited for two seconds, and after hearing nothing, the sound of picking the lock that made Ye Jue's teeth ache rang out again.
……thief!
... There are thieves!
Ye Jue immediately wanted to remind Ji Heng who was motionless, but Ji Heng on the bed seemed to know what he was thinking and shook the quilt.
Familiar with the opponent's body movements, Ye Jue swallowed the reminder reflexively.
He tightened his clothes in surprise, swallowed, and watched the next scene almost holding his breath.
……
……
"Crunch".
The wooden door was in disrepair and the lock was almost a decoration.
Someone walked in.
Ji Heng's face remained unchanged, he caught every move of the man in the room.
He didn't go to bed for the first time.
The man looked around the room as if he was strolling around, without touching the things in the house, he was more curious, or in other words, with a spying mentality, spying on the traces left by the master.
The eyes became colder, and Ji Heng slowed down his breathing expressionlessly.
Soon, the man withdrew his gaze, and his uncontrollable chuckle sounded in the air, mixed with excitement, emotion, and fanaticism of dreams coming true, and the familiar voice confirmed Ji Heng's guess.
Liu Xu!
This Liu Xu... really has bad intentions.
This is certainly not his first crime.
Killing and throwing away corpses, or abducting and trafficking children?
What is the intention?
Footsteps gradually approached the bed.
Just when Ji Heng was ready for everything, the man suddenly stopped by the bed, bent down, and looked at him from top to bottom with an obsessive and viscous gaze.
The sight is disgusting.
In the blink of an eye, Ji Heng thought of what Ye Jue had said to him earlier.
- "Someone is watching me".
Keenly aware that something was wrong, Ji Heng frowned, buried his head in the quilt, and did not move as if he was afraid of the cold.
...Why do you use this look?
Something is wrong, Liu Xu is not like a murderer or a human trafficker.
Finally, he heard Liu Xu's gentle and smiling voice.
The man approached the tightly closed quilt and called, "Ye Jue...Ye Jue? Don't sleep, the 'teacher' is here to find you."
Noticing that the boy was not moving, he laughed. His face, which was specially sprayed with perfume and hairspray, was neat and clean, but his eyes under the gold-rimmed glasses were dark and eager, as if he would pull off the quilt in the next second and touch him intimately.
"Ye Jue?"
"Ye Jue? Wake up, 'Teacher' is here to play games with you."
Still unable to hold back the longing in his heart, Liu Xu's smile on his face was extremely treacherous, and he stretched out his hand, like a lamb to be slaughtered, and tore off the quilt with a "pop--".
Almost enjoying the next scream, Liu Xu closed his eyes intoxicated.
Screaming, crying, fear, and finally despair and resignation.
His favorite pre-dinner dessert, every time he relishes it, there is a burst of extreme excitement.
It's just different today, he didn't wait for the scream he should have, he lowered his head hesitantly, but bumped into a pair of gloomy and cold eyes.
The handsome and thin boy looked at him expressionlessly, and slowly narrowed his eyes: "What are you playing?"
Before Liu Xu could react, he slammed a punch, and the wind of the fist hit Liu Xu with a blank face with lightning speed.
Ji Heng suddenly exploded, with undisguised hostility in his eyes: "—I said, what do you want to play?"
From Ye Jue to Ji Heng.
This scene was so impactful that Liu Xu was caught off guard by Ji Heng and knocked down to the ground. The rough concrete floor made him scream.
"what--"
It's a pity that today is a snowstorm night, and the howling and frenzied new wind drowned out all sounds.
The pain stimulated his nerves, he reacted suddenly, and quickly rolled to the side, with horror and anger in his eyes: "This is your home?!"
"This is the Ye family."
Without giving him any chance to breathe, Ji Heng quickly chased after him.
Stepping on the icy ground with bare feet, his face was condensed, he picked up the bench, and with the sound of howling wind, he swung straight at Liu Xu's head!
There was a hint of murderous intent in Liu Xu's eyes. His eyes were red, his arms were crossed to cover his face, and he stood on the bench abruptly. Under the severe pain, he suddenly regained consciousness.
"You know Ye Jue?!"
No wonder...!
No wonder this boy named Ji Heng would always step in every time he was about to succeed!
They actually know each other!
Actually know!
Realizing that he was being tricked, Liu Xu shouted angrily, "Ah——!"
Is it an adult, or an adult in the youngest period? Liu Xu has committed crimes in recent years, and he has licked blood at the tip of the knife. If it wasn't for the important evidence left behind by the last attack, he would not change his name. , fled overnight to the southwest.
Fortunately, people in Southwest Mountain Village are easy to deceive. He casually said that he was a teacher's child, and these people believed them all.
It's just that he didn't expect that he was so wise in his life——that he overturned the car in the hands of two little kids!
"Are you kidding me?!"
Picking up the shattered stool leg with his backhand, Liu Xu slammed it at Ji Heng when he saw the timing.
Ji Heng dodged immediately, panting slightly, but his face remained completely unchanged.
The two immediately fought into a ball.
Ji Heng's body is sensitive, and he seems to have received systematic training, and has evaded Liu Xu's ultimate move several times.
The more the beating went on, the more frightened Liu Xu became.
He had been a soldier for two years, so of course he knew the general agility of the troops training arms.
This Ji Heng...? !
During the scuffle, he gained the upper hand for a while, but he was about to exhaust himself. The boy under his body was short of breath, and his pupils were cold and frightening. After all, he was still young, and his strength was not comparable to that of an adult.
Turning his mind, he smiled sullenly, looked at the young man who was obviously going to fight with him, and suddenly said, "Are you Ye Jue's little boyfriend?"
There was no change on his face, Ji Heng suddenly twisted his body and suppressed him again.
Liu Xu, who relied on all his strength to hold on, squinted his eyes, and continued to ask ambiguously, "Why did you show up at his house?"
"Have you already tasted him?"
His complexion suddenly turned cold, and Ji Heng's eyes were so dark that he couldn't see to the end. Suddenly, there was a storm, and there was a hint of rage in his eyes.
"I knew that your little boys can play," Liu Xu said with a meaningful smile: "I also think Ye Jue is good-looking, look at those eyes and small mouth, isn't it sweet to kiss, isn't it on the bed? -"
"what--!"
Ji Heng, who had been fighting with him silently from the beginning to the end, finally changed his face completely, and the sudden burst of great strength almost made Liu Xu unable to resist.
He endured the severe pain forcefully, gritted his teeth and swallowed the blood in his throat, looked at Ji Heng's cold look, giggled again and said, "If I didn't come to the toilet that day, you would have been there with him... "
He was still smiling, looking at the bloodshot eyes that gradually appeared in Ji Heng's eyes, he became more and more excited.
"Little boys like them are very dirty. They are dumb when they play. They don't know anything. If you like Ye Jue, we can share it together..."
"boom--"
A loud bang.
Liu Xu's face was pale, and with a "wow", he vomited a large pool of blood.
In the darkness, there were black and white dots in front of his eyes, and the whistling snow wind blew outside the window, and the dim light penetrated through the gap, shining on the young man's beautiful and delicate face.
Ye Jue's face was pale, but his hands were steady, and he directly punched a hole in his head, with tears on his face, he called out in panic, "...Brother!"
After hitting this stick, he turned around and wanted to go out to call someone.
After looking at each other with Ji Heng, he stopped abruptly.
...Ye Jue?
In the flickering spots of light, Liu Xu's expression was horrified, and he instantly realized that everything tonight was tricked by him.
His vision was blurry, and the back of his head was broken.
In his eyes, Ji Heng turned over and pressed against his chest with terrifying force, causing his entire chest to burst into severe pain.
"Cough cough cough..."
He vomited a few more mouthfuls of blood.
The eyes of the boy suppressed on his body were gradually stained with scarlet killing intent.
