The Blaze of Xueba

Boyhood ([-])

Xijiang No. [-] Middle School was built on the mountain. Because the school has expanded its enrollment every year, a teaching building was built on the basis of the original old campus, and all infrastructure such as the canteen, silicone playground, etc. was built.

The nearest to the school gate is the old building, where the third and second year students live in a hard way, and the newly built building this year is for the freshmen to enjoy.

Some of the city walls at the intersection of the old and the new have not had time to be processed, and are shabby and crumbling.Li Lie has been in school for a week and has crawled all over the school inside and out like a monkey, and he can see everything clearly.

Wu Fatty followed Li Lie through the woods, and came to a low wall less than one meter away. Next to the low wall was a tree with a crooked neck, which was crooked as if saying, "Come and step on me!" , I will help you and let you easily get out of the school wave."

Li Lie's bones were amazed, his body was as light as a swallow, his long legs quickly stepped on the crooked tree trunk, he jumped onto the wall, and landed easily.

Li Lie shouted loudly from outside the wall, "Fatty, hurry up!"

Wu Pang took his chubby legs with difficulty, stepped on the tree with all his strength, almost slipped, but fortunately grabbed the branch, and then crawled on the wall with great difficulty, fell to the ground unexpectedly and fell Dog eats shit.

Li Lie laughed loudly, "It's so funny, you're like a bear climbing a tree, I'm dying of laughter!"

Fortunately, Wu Pang was juicy and fleshy, so he didn't feel too much pain. He patted his clothes and stood up. He didn't care what Li Lie said when he made fun of him, and just said, "Laughing, I just fainted from hunger, go eat quickly." !"

Li Lie and Wu Pang came to a noodle shop one after the other. Li Lie called out very familiarly, "Boss, here are two bowls of beef noodles, add eggs, no green onions, and coriander."

Then Li Lie and Wu Fat found an empty seat and sat down.Li Lie took off his school uniform frivolously, and hung the left and right long sleeves around his waist, "It's so hot! It's just cool after taking it off."

Li Lie was wearing a black T-shirt. Just as he raised his hand, Wu Pang accidentally saw a scar on the inside of his left wrist, and he felt a trace of sadness in his heart.

Wu Fatty and Li Lie played together since they were young, one at the end of the alley and the other at the end of the alley, and they looked down and saw each other every day.Wu Pang's parents have been working outside the home for many years, so he was handed over to his grandma to be raised, but his grandma is old and her brain is not working well, and she often forgets things.

When Wu Pang came home from school when he was in elementary school, he found that the door was locked. He habitually searched for the key behind the door. When he found that there was no key, he thought it must be because grandma had forgotten to put the key. He rummaged around everywhere. I didn't see any hair on the key.

It's over!he thought desperately.

Wu Pang sat alone at the gate, and his grandma would not come back until [-] o'clock every night when he went out, which meant that he had to endure hunger and cold outside for several hours.

Wu Fat put his schoolbag on the ground, sat down on his buttocks, and watched the people coming and going blankly.It was getting later and later, and he was getting more and more hungry, so hungry that he was about to vomit.

Just when he was about to collapse from hunger, a boy stood in front of him, his stomach was croaking with hunger, and the boy asked, "Is there anyone at home?"

"Grandma forgot to put the key, I'm waiting for her to come back." Wu Fat replied weakly.

"Get up, let's eat together, I think your eyes are green with hunger." The young man looked at Wu Pang firmly and said.

As soon as he heard that there was something to eat, Wu Pang immediately stopped being cowardly, and became more energetic, and followed the young man closely.The boy took out the money he had left and ordered two beef noodles. Wu Pang devoured all the noodles efficiently with the spirit of a dead pig not afraid of boiling water, not wasting a mouthful of soup.

After he was full, the little fat man burped heavily, and then he opened his small eyes to see clearly the appearance of this young man, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a dragon-horse spirit. He is a very sunny-looking young man.

Wu Fat said, "Thank you for inviting me to dinner today. What's your name?"

"Li Lie." The young man also finished eating at this time, and put down the bowl and chopsticks.

Fatty Wu nodded, "My name is Wu Fei, Wu of King Zheng of Zhou Wu, flying soaringly."

Li Lie nodded, stood up, paid the bill, and left.

Wu Fat looked at his back, and held back a word in his heart before he could say it:

Let me treat you to dinner next time!

Xicheng is just a city with insufficient third-tier facilities. The security in the city center is decent, but the security in the border area is not so good. Originally, this kind of place is where the poor live, and the government has no intention to invest money in security and police forces. , more is to choose to let these marginalized people fend for themselves.

The block where Fatty Wu lives is such a fringe area. On the one hand, there are buildings for people to live in, and on the other hand, buildings that have been pushed down by bulldozer hooks.

This man lived in a dilapidated and old building, without a clean wall, and the people who lived there were all ordinary people, swearing and tearing was a common occurrence, a group of middle-aged women with cigarettes in their mouths full of greasy hair huddled together There was a lot of discussion and cheap laughter.

Therefore, in this environment where people and buildings are not in good shape, many underworld people have been born. They are all unscrupulous teenagers who dye their hair to threaten children or rob in the middle of the night.

Wu Pang is as timid as a mouse. From elementary school to junior high school, others in school regard him as a fat man for entertainment. It is common for him to be asked to run errands and buy things. A person with a poor appearance and a poor family environment is often attacked by everyone. Wu Pang always laughed every time, showing that the fat man has a broad heart and a fat body.

When Wu Pang returned home from school in the first year of junior high school, he met the underworld. Three bad boys, one with curly hair and yellow hair in the middle, and the other two were bald. up.

Wu Pang has always been used to being coaxed, so he immediately knelt on the ground and cried, "I only have five yuan with me. If you want it, I will give it to you. Please don't beat me."

Huang Mao snatched the five yuan from Wu Pang's hand, stuffed it into his pocket, and cursed viciously, "Fuck! It's only five yuan for eating so fat, and your schoolbag is so big, what is it?!"

Before Wu Pang could react, the two bald heads roughly tore off the schoolbag on his back, unzipped it, and dumped everything on the ground with a clatter.

There are some stationery and textbooks, and the two bulging bags are potato chips. The bald head searched the three layers inside and outside, and said to Huang Mao, "Brother, there are really none."

The yellow hair exploded in anger, and he stepped on the broken potato chips, causing Wu Pang's heart to beat with a bang, and the yellow hair pinched his face viciously, "What's wrong with me, the first time I came out to rob, only five yuan Money! You make me so upset now, I have to hit you to vent my anger!"

When Wu Fat heard that he was going to beat him, he was so scared that he put his hands on his head and cried, "I'm afraid of pain, please don't beat me, please..."

Huang Mao laughed loudly, and was about to hit him with his palm. Suddenly, a person appeared and clamped his wrist, making him unable to move. Before Huang Mao could say anything, this person immediately kicked Huang Mao to the ground. land.

Wu Fat shrugged his nose and shouted in surprise, "Brother Lie!"

Li Lie turned around and shouted loudly, "Hurry up and run for me!"

Wu Pang was three nerves slower than others to react, and quickly picked up his schoolbag.

Huang Mao stood up again, and the two bald heads approached Li Lie. Li Lie thought in his heart that he could not hit three people alone, so he thought it would be better to walk, but Huang Mao approached him viciously.

Li Lie was born with brute force. He planned to run out from the left. After kicking down the bald head on the left, another bald head grabbed him. At this moment, Huang Mao pulled out a knife from behind to stab him. Li Lie With quick eyesight and quick hands, he blocked it with his left hand, and the sharp blade slid towards the inside of his wrist. Li Lie felt a stinging pain. With a force from his lower body, he kicked Huangmao hard, turned around and pulled Wu Pang to run together.

Li Lie knew the way, he took Wu Pang and ran all the way to a remote corner, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief when he was sure that the three bad boys hadn't caught up.

Seeing that Fatty Wu was still trembling, he said, "You're still trembling after they've left, you're so timid."

Wu Pang looked at Li Lie in horror, pointed at his left wrist and shouted, "Brother Lie, you are bleeding, a lot of blood!"

Only then did Li Lie come back to his senses, he smiled lightly, "Isn't it just bleeding, what is there to be afraid of!"

Wu Fatty followed Li Lie's steps home, and said cautiously, "Brother Lie, why don't we go to the hospital and let the doctor bandage you up."

Li Lie said, "This little injury is nothing but yarn. I'll go home and tie a gauze and it will be fine."

Wu Pang followed Li Lie worriedly.Li Lie returned home, took out the gauze he usually used, grinned with pain, washed the wound clean, and then wrapped it with gauze.

He put his right hand on Wu Fatty's shoulder, "Damn! I'm not dead, you put on a sad face to play Lin Daiyu?! It's getting dark, go back quickly, or your grandma will get another looking for you everywhere."

With tears in his eyes, Fatty Wu said excitedly, "Brother Lie, I've decided to hang out with you in the future, for the rest of my life!"

The glass of water that Li Lie had just drank was almost choked out, "Why are you so easy to bribe, even if you get hurt a little, you will promise yourself with your body."

Wu Fat smiled, but he didn't say anything. He had already made up his mind: follow Brother Lie, absolutely right!

Two bowls of steaming beef noodles interrupted Wu Pang's thoughts, he picked up his rice bowl and began to gobble up the whole meal.Li Lie also ate his noodles sullenly.

After eating, Wu Fatty seemed to think of something, and said to Li Lie in a low voice, "Brother Lie, Brother Wei recently asked me to ask you whether you are going to that place or not, and if you do, go as soon as possible."

Li Lie put down his job, frowned and thought for a while, "I'm not short of money recently, it's hard to get out of that place, you reply for me and say I won't go."

Fatty Wu nodded, "Okay."

Li Lie looked at Wu Fatty and told him, "Don't get too familiar with them, it won't be easy to get away in the future."

Wu Fat patted his chest, "Brother Lie, if you don't go, how could I go."

"It's good that you know." After speaking, Li Lie stood up and paid the bill.Wu Pang followed him back to school.

Suddenly Li Lie turned around, remembered something, and ordered Wu Fatty, "Fatty, wait a minute and follow me to the Academic Affairs Office to get the exercise book."

"Ah—it's this kind of hard work again! Don't call me if you have delicious food. Every time you do this kind of tiring work, I'm the first thing you think of!" Fatty Wu looked mournful.

Li Lie punched Wu Pang on the protruding stomach, "You touch your conscience and say that I didn't treat you to dinner or ask you to do some work, just keep nagging, shut your fat mouth, otherwise Don't follow me from now on."

Upon hearing this, Wu Fat became worried, and he said with a smile, "Don't talk about moving books, Brother Lie, you told me to go up the mountain of swords and down into the sea of ​​fire, so I have to bite the bullet, right?"

"You fat man will be glib." Li Lie said calmly.He quickened his pace, and Wu Pang followed closely behind him.During the journey just now, he thought too much, talked too much, he couldn't help but miss a certain person, even though he saw that person every day, and was at the same table, and got along day and night, but as long as he was separated for a while, he felt an uncomfortable emptiness, inexplicable would love to see him.

This thought of Li Lie drove his footsteps. His long legs were as fast as the wind, and he wanted to run. He ran to the fifth floor without blinking, leaning against the front door of the classroom to breathe.

Zhou Yan was sitting by the window behind the first group. The whole class was noisy, but he was the only one who read books and did homework quietly like an outsider.

Li Lie looked at him quietly, his heart full. He always felt that Zhou Yan's whole body was covered with a soft light. The closer he was to him, the calmer his heart became.

There was a bright smile on the corner of Li Lie's mouth. He leaned against the front door enchantingly, turned his eyes and saw that the weather outside was sunny, he was in a good mood, and kept giggling nonstop.

Happiness can be so simple.he thought.

Yang Wei, the sports committee member, just walked in, and he asked viciously, "Squad leader, what are you dreaming about again, you're laughing so hard that your mouth is watering."

Li Lie straightened his body and rolled his eyes at him, "I want you to take care of it!"
