There is an abandoned brick factory less than two kilometers away from the No. [-] Middle School. It is a very old-fashioned brick factory with cave dwellings and two floors. The exit is a neat fan shape, one meter high.

In the past, bricks for building houses were bought here, and Ji Xi knew the color of brick red.

It may be due to the high pollution. Even after several years of shutdown, the brick buildings have begun to collapse, and the surrounding land is still brick-red, with no grass growing.

There is a very tall and thick exhaust smoke cooker, as high as five or six floors, thick at the bottom and narrow at the top. I don't know what its working principle is.

They came here today mainly to settle some grievances and grievances.

He and Ming Lu have always been at odds, and conflicts are common.

It was already last semester since the last fight was resolved. He won, and the two sides had a temporary truce to recuperate.

Today, conflicts have accumulated to the point where they should erupt, and a fight is needed to resolve them.

"Brother Xi, how many minutes is it today?" Qi Xin was gearing up, he hadn't fought for a long time, and his whole body was itchy.

Ji Xi leaned on the tall and thick smoke cooker, stepped on the cigarette butt in his hand, and exhaled the last puff of smoke.

"Today you are home, you have the final say." He said.

"Okay, today I'll beat that bastard until he finds his teeth all over the place, his nose is bruised and his face is swollen, and then he throws him on the street." Qi Xin viciously arranged the ending for the other party, with one eye wrapped in a bandage, like a one-eyed dragon.

Ji Xi chuckled: "Last time, you had a bruised nose and a swollen face."

"Haha... I still remember your pig's head." Meng Ke smiled happily beside him.

Just the three of them tonight.

Since Liu Yang had a girlfriend, they didn't appear together so frequently.

Speaking of which, Shu Xia was to blame for today's incident.

If it wasn't for dreaming about Shu Xia and doing that shit, he wouldn't be looking for Qi Xin, Qi Xin wouldn't be looking for Meng Ke, they wouldn't have met Ming Lu and the others if they didn't go to have breakfast, and naturally there wouldn't be today This evening.

Therefore, the culprit is Shu Xia.

Ji Xi suppressed the charming that was about to pop up again in his mind.

When I went to have breakfast today, I had a conflict with Ming Lu.

The breakfast shop on Guanyuan Road is very big, and there are many things, whether it is porridge with buns, soy milk with fried dough sticks, eggs or salted eggs, noodles or noodles, you can eat here.

The most famous and best-selling ones are five-spice steamed buns and rice noodles, both of which Qi Xin likes.

There was already a queue when they went, a very long queue.

Most of them are elderly people, because they don't sleep much, and few of them can't sleep in the special situation like Ji Xi.

Ming Lu provoked them and managed to get there, and even shamelessly came to jump in line. He jumped in three or four people, pushed an old lady in front of him to the ground, and affected Ji Xi and his group. Not only did they miss breakfast, He also smashed a few bowls, but Qi Xin was unlucky, when the bowls flew over, he was still scolding others, and in the next second his eyes were gashed, bleeding profusely.

Ji Xi and Meng Ke hurried him to the hospital.

Only then did he realize that there was a four-centimeter cut in the corner of his eye, and Qi Xin was so frightened that he thought he was blind.

In fact, it was not serious, but he covered his eyes, and the blood flowed from his fingers, which looked scary.

I don't know how many stitches were stitched, because Qi Xin was too nervous and forgot to count. Anyway, the only feeling is pain.

Tonight is revenge.

"Hey, don't think that we are afraid of you just because you called four people. Let me tell you, I will never show mercy tonight." Qi Xin's vicious threat, coupled with his one-eyed dragon shape, was quite pretentious.

"Whispering." Ming Lu said.

Dressed in black, with two stud earrings and a leather jacket, he looked very cool.

Speaking of which, before Ji Xi came, he was the one who was selected privately by No. [-] Middle School. Later, when Ji Xi came, he took up his seat and took most of the girl's love away. He had to fight for the court when playing ball, and jumped in line when eating. , Whoever pays first to buy a bottle of water can create a farce.

Two people are in a state where you don't like me, and I don't like you.

The only solution is to fight.

After a period of silence, fight again when conflicts arise again.

Ming Lu's father used to be a jerk, but later he built a car to solicit customers, and gradually became bigger, and the family had a little money.

Ming Lu may have inherited most of his father's genes, except for his mother's hands, everything else is from his father.

He can't read well, and he is good at fighting.

His father was able to mess around when he was young, and the replica version of Ming Lu was naturally able to mess around too. Now most of the gangsters outside are named under him.

"Baozi, apology." Ming Lu kicked the younger brother next to him. He has a very round Baozi face, nicknamed Baozi. Today he hurt Qi Xin when he smashed a bowl.

"I'm sorry." Baozi's face was also very obedient, apologizing if asked to apologize.

Qi Xin couldn't get up and down, and stood there in embarrassment.

"If an apology is useful, what's the use of asking the police?" Ji Xi said. He stood up and walked to the flat ground on the second floor, squatting with his elbows on his knees and looking at Ming Lu below.

Ming Lu's momentum was not weak, he looked up at him, "Fight? Don't you think it's too boring? We should be considered a draw." He continued, "Last time we fought for so long and there was no winner, let's change the way! "

"What method?" Ji Xi whistled, and said, "It depends on Qi Xin, he will do whatever he says."

"After all, he is the victim." Qi Xin who was mentioned instantly puffed up her chest and showed her momentum.

"But, you are the one who stands out." Ming Lu sneered.

Ji Xi raised his eyebrows, indeed, it felt like a dove occupying a magpie's nest.

"Qi Xin, come here." Ji Xi continued, "Since I've quit, shouldn't you also express it?"

Ming Lu nodded, "Naturally."

In the end, the two sides reached an agreement, whoever caused the trouble will bear the blame, and whoever is injured will find whom.

Qi Xin and Baozi reconciled on their own, while Ji Xi and Ming Lu did not make a move.

If you really make a move, you have to go to the hospital.

The first time Ji Xi entered the hospital was when he fought with Ming Lu. One of them broke a rib and the other broke a leg. They had to recuperate for half a month to recover.

Others will show their feelings, and the two of them will go their separate ways after the fight, and no one can understand the other.

How should Qi Xin fight? Before Ji Xi came, he had fought a lot and was very experienced, but he was a student after all, no matter how tough he was, he couldn't compare to someone who was already in society.

Baozilian dropped out of school for a few years, followed Minglu, usually went to Internet cafes, collected protection fees at the entrance of the elementary school, and was taught a lesson by Ji Xi later, found a job as a courier, usually delivered couriers, and worked at night Old business.

He has a lot of social experience, and he is unambiguous in his actions.

Ji Xi gave them an open space to fight for them.

The two of them are in the same boat, and it doesn't hurt to say it.

Ming Lu stood by and handed Ji Xi a cigarette, "When do you think they will fight?"

Ji Xi took it, unlit it and held it in his hand, looked at the two people who were fighting, and shook his head: "I don't know."

After following Ji Xi, Qi Xin started fighting with more tricks, so being blind in one eye and being able to match Baozi's face can only show that he has improved.

"He has improved a lot." Ming Lu pointed to Qi Xin and said.

"Well, I learned a lot." Ji Xi nodded.

Meng Ke and Ming Lu's other three younger brothers all watched together, Qi Xin and Baozilian who were beating fiercely for a while, and Ji Xi and Ming Lu who were chatting like good friends for a while.

"Actually, I quite admire you." Ming Lu said, "It's the first time someone broke my leg. It's embarrassing and exciting."

Ji Xi raised his eyebrows: "Thank you."

"That's what I hate about you." Ming Lu was not polite, "You're obviously a ruffian, but you still pretend to be superior."

"There's nothing I can do about it." Ji Xi stood up, stretched his waist, and looked at the two who hadn't finished fighting.

"I heard that you have changed your gender recently? You are very close to the top student in your class." Ming Lu said.

Ji Xi glanced at him with a hint of warning in his eyes.

"It seems that I'm right." Ming Lu smiled, "I respect Xueba very much, and I usually don't trouble them, they are people from another world."

"Everyone has their own circle of activities, and I only dominate my circle." Ming Lu said with a smile.

"Then you are looking for the wrong person, I am in the same circle as him." Ji Xi smiled, and called Qi Xin: "Stop fighting, if you fight again, you won't be able to tell the winner."

Ming Lu also called Baozilian, and the two stopped at the same time, looked at each other in disgust, and walked away.

After beating for a long time, Qi Xin became lame, and Baozi's face was bruised and swollen.

Hitting people doesn't slap people in the face, but Qi Xin has no such awareness, and he will do what he says.

"Brother Xi, I've made progress!" Qi Xin limped over, very excited.

"Yeah." Ji Xi nodded, looking at his lame leg, "Going to the hospital?"

"No, I'm fine!"

"Has the anger subsided?" Ji Xi asked.

Qi Xin nodded hesitantly: "Forget it, I'm not so angry anymore."

Ming Lu glared at Baozi's face, and said to Qi Xin in a very gentlemanly manner: "I will pay all the medical expenses. If you are still angry, wait for your eyes to heal, and fight again."

Qi Xin was so frightened that he was on guard all over, looked at him twice, but didn't speak.

Ming Lu led the people away.

There is no win or loss, and there is no other expression, except for the words to Qi Xin.

Meng Ke didn't know who to chat with, so it's rare that he doesn't talk much today, although he usually doesn't.

"Ake, you are acting weird today." Qi Xin said.

They were not in a hurry to go back. There was a pile of discarded bricks in the brick factory. Who knew who had piled them up one by one, and they were half as tall as a person. There were three or four piles.

They sit on it and smoke.

Meng Ke was silent for a moment and said, "My grandma is hospitalized."

"Ah?" Qi Xin asked, "Is it serious?"

Ji Xi also looked at him.

Meng Ke shook his head, frowned in distress, and put the phone back into his bag.

Ji Xi has never met his grandma, but thinking of his grandma, everyone's grandma should be similar!

Shu Xia doesn't seem to have a grandma.

"Are you going to take a look?" Qi Xin asked.

Ji Xi looked at them suspiciously, wondering what they wanted to see?

"Not going." Meng Ke took a breath, "She doesn't want to see me either."

"Are you having a conflict?" Ji Xi asked.

"Well, I don't kiss her. She likes Meng Xuan better. The child of the second father's family is a junior high school student. I love him. Anyway, it's just some bad things about the parents." Meng Ke shut up after saying a few words.

The frown deepened.

"Oh, don't think about it." Qi Xin comforted him, "People are born with biased minds, look at me tonight, am I majestic?"

Meng Ke didn't reply, maybe he was still struggling.

Ji Xi can somewhat guess, and admires Qi Xin's ability to say such philosophical words.

After coming here, he saw many people and things he had never seen before.

An irresponsible and cowardly father, a mother who can be very poisonous, a grandma who is eccentric, a minor who dropped out of school to work...

Some refreshed his three views.

Especially the sensitive and strong student Shu Xia.

"You knew Ming Lu before?" Ji Xi asked.

That man Minglu is not easy to mess with, he is so talkative today, and he even greets Qi Xin, there is a problem at first glance.

Qi Xin nodded and said distressedly: "Student in elementary school, didn't I repeat the grade? He went ahead of him. When his father was poor, he ate a few meals at my grandma's house. Later, when he became prosperous, he was quite filial to me. Darling, I know."

"But he's not easy to get along with. We don't have much friendship. Usually, I don't mess with him, and he doesn't make things difficult for me."

Ji Xi nodded and put out the cigarette.

"I'm going first." Meng Mengke suddenly stood up and said.

Before they could speak, he buried his head and ran forward alone.

"What happened to him?" Ji Xi asked.

Qi Xin rubbed her hot legs, and said helplessly: "Meng Ke had a bad life with his nurse when he was a child, and his nurse was more biased. Ah Ke suffered a lot and suffered a lot of grievances. His parents came back Then take him away."

"His grandma is sick, if he doesn't go to see it, maybe he will be blamed again. His grandma's mouth is very sharp, and Ah Ke is annoying her, so he dare not not go."

"It's over after just a few glances, what about it?" Ji Xi couldn't understand what was going on.

"No, his father is filial. If he knows that Ah Ke is going, he will have to take care of his grandma's food and drink. It's very troublesome. His grandma is very picky. If he is not satisfied at all, he can study for a day, and Ah Ke will be punished by his father." Scolding, if it is serious, the living expenses will not be paid." Qi Xin sighed, very helpless.

"Ake used to study very well, but then he became depraved."

Ji Xi nodded.

"Shall we go back?" Qi Xin looked up at the sky, but there was not a single star.

"Let's go."

Qi Xin limped along, looking at Ji Xi's somewhat lonely back.

"Brother Xi, why are you here?" He asked.

Ji Xi was stunned for a moment, and slowed down, "Resist for... just like Meng Ke, who resisted when he couldn't stand being oppressed."

"Ah Ke resisted, but unfortunately failed." Qi Xin said.

"Huh?" Ji Xi looked at him suspiciously.

"Didn't he study well before? He was one of the best in the class. I didn't know what happened. I had a quarrel with his grandma. The quarrel was very serious. His father beat him up and cut off his living expenses. During that time He was so poor that he could only sleep in my bed, and he didn't go to class to work as a bartender."

"After being found out by his father, he beat him up again, and gave him the living expenses. It's just that Ah Ke doesn't like studying anymore, and children in the rebellious period are like this."

Ji Xi smiled: "What about your rebellious period?"

Qi Xin shook his head: "I didn't have a rebellious period, my dad didn't have much demands on me, he always said that contentment is always happy, and it doesn't matter if you have no future, as long as you can solve the troubles you caused yourself, the rest doesn't matter."

"Your father... is quite open-minded." Ji Xi said.

"Well, it's okay!" Qi Xin said with a smile, "Actually, I think he's just worthless, so he's too embarrassed to ask me."

Ji Xi didn't mention him. Generally speaking, parents who are worthless want their children to be promising. Qi Xin's father should be enlightened, not worthless.

Being able to raise Qi Xin's simple nature also shows that he is a very easy-going and open-minded father.

Where is his father?

Only a serious and rigid image remains in his mind, Ji Liangzan is a severe workaholic.

Not surprisingly, another sleepless night.

Ji Xi got up and sat on the sofa in the living room, playing soap operas, holding a mobile phone but couldn't find anyone to contact, Shu Xia's mobile phone hadn't arrived yet, Tang Jing... didn't really want to contact, and he would mention it after a few more chats previous things.

Leaning on the sofa, the room is filled with loneliness, even the sound of the TV is uncontrollable.

He stood up and went to the fish tank, grabbed a handful of fish food and threw it in. The fish was swimming slowly in the water, and the tortoise lay motionless on the rockery.

"Are you bored too?" He knocked on the fiberglass, scaring the fish away quickly.

"Tsk, ungrateful bastard!"

He leaned against the wall, lit a cigarette, and puffed.

"You say, am I right?"

"They don't care about me, why should I go back? You think so?"

"Everyone has their own home, why should I go back? Isn't it just looking for trouble?"

"It's so boring, I don't know... what is Shu Xia doing?"

The word Shu Xia has a feeling of shyness that is hard to say, especially when he had such a dream last night, he was in a complicated mood, and even when he mentioned his name, he couldn't help but think of those pictures.

"Damn, I don't think I like him, do I?"

"How is it possible? Are you crazy... your brain is out of order!"

He hurried back to the bedroom, saw the pug on the bed dragged by [-] million, kicked it out of bed angrily, and buried it under the blanket.
