First dawn

"Thank you." Yi Xiao raised the dessert in Qiao Juan's hands.

"I was fined for copying, and there is a thank you gift. Where did you get it?" Qiao Sui smiled, cheered up, and opened the plastic package of Shuangpi Nai.

Yi Xiao leaned against the window sill: "The commissary downstairs."

Qiao Jue was a little surprised: "I thought you wouldn't be interested." When Guo Da and Bao You were chatting happily during the morning reading class, Yi Xiao didn't even look up.

"It's hidden." Guo Da sighed.

The double-skin milk at the canteen is surprisingly delicious, sweet but not greasy, with a strong milk flavor, and the sweet taste lingers between the lips and teeth, just enough to dispel the late summer heat and take away Qiao Jue's sleepiness at this time.

Qiao Jue spent a sweet recess amid Guo Da and Bao You's wailing, while Mu Qingwei and Jiang Wenyan were secretly flipping through a comic, and low laughter kept coming to Qiao Jue's ears.

"The head teacher is here." Yi Xiao reminded.

Qiao Jue stuffed Shuangpi Nai into the desk, Mu Qingwei put the comics under the books, Bao You and Guo Da stuffed their phones into their sleeves, and the group of people instantly put on a serious study.

"What are you doing here?" Zheng Yu frowned and asked Yi Xiao. In his impression, although this student's grades were good, he brought a lot of trouble to the previous school and teachers, so his impression of Yi Xiao Not good.

"Bathing in the sun." Yi Xiao answered seriously.

Zheng Yu stared at Yi Xiao suspiciously, but only saw everyone studying hard by the window.

"Guo Da and Bao You come to the office with me." Zheng Yu left without saying a word.

"Thank you very much." Mu Qingwei cupped her hands to Yi Xiao who was outside the window, and a corner of the manga was exposed under the Chinese book.

Qiao Jue looked up, Yi Xiao on the balcony outside the window was bathed in the late summer sunshine, the edge of the white shirt was faintly golden in sunlight, unconsciously, both he and Yi Xiao were slowly blending into the second group. The small group, the life of the second year of high school, has just begun.

After school, Guo Da pushed his car in the car shed at the school gate and waited for Qiao Sui at the door of the car shed.

"Brother Sui, haven't you found it yet?" Guo Da shouted into the carport, "Did you lock the car this morning?"

"It's locked, I remember I locked it." Qiao Jue replied to Guo Da while looking for the bicycle. The carport in No. [-] Middle School is not big, but there are many bicycles. Qiao Jue usually parks the car in a fixed place, which is convenient for school. I looked for a car later, but I couldn't find it today.

"What are you doing?" Yi Xiao, passing by the door of the carport, asked Guo Da.

Guo Da: "Hey, brother Sui's bicycle can't be found."

Yi Xiao: "...he didn't ride this morning, don't you both remember??"

Guo Da: "...Oh, it seems to be..."

Qiao Sui: "..."

Yi Xiao couldn't put it into words, and suddenly felt that the friendship she had just established was in jeopardy.

Xuxu heard her master's voice from afar, rushed out of the security room, and rushed towards Yi Xiao.

"Wow!" Guo Da was taken aback, "Your?"

"Mine." Yi Xiao led the husky, and the three said goodbye in front of the school gate, and walked north and south.

"Yi Xiao seems to be different from the one in the rumors." Guo Da said with emotion, "I feel like a very loyal buddy."

Qiao Jue smiled and didn't say much.

"A car for you?" Guo Da asked Qiao Jue at the intersection of Xinya Road, "Your home is a bit far away, can you walk in time?"

"No need." Qiao Jue waved his hand and walked towards the north of the bridge. Outside the newsstand across the road, there was a notice of the new arrival of comics. In the crowded newsstand, Mu Qingwei and Jiang Wenyan could be vaguely seen.

"Are you back?" Xu Hong heard Qiao Jue's footsteps, opened the door, stood at the end of the corridor and looked at Qiao Jue, "I came back a bit late today, didn't you ride your bike?"

Qiao Jue shook his head: "I walked with my classmate, he didn't ride a bicycle."

"Are you a new student from Class [-]?" Xu Hong asked. The food had already been served on the table. He had obviously waited for Qiao Jue for a while. Seeing Qiao Jue nodding, Xu Hong continued, "It looks like he is rich." People's children, that dress, that dog, are not cheap."

Qiao Sui was taken aback by the action of picking vegetables, and didn't say much.

"I changed the bed sheets for you." Xu Hong said, "That dog shed hair, how dirty, I can't tell you when your classmate was here last night, today I changed all your bed sheets, oh, finished washing It’s drying on the roof.”

"I have evening self-study tonight. I won't come back to eat at night. It's too late." Qiao Jue picked up the round spoon next to the soup pot and poured himself a bowl of tomato and egg soup. It's just average, but the tomato and egg soup is delicious. The tomato Xu Hong bought today tastes just right, very fresh, and not too sour. The golden egg flower is wrapped with sweet and sour tomatoes. The soup is neither salty nor bland, which is considered Xu Hong's extraordinary display of cooking skills makes people very appetizing.

Xu Hong heard the words and said: "Okay, I won't leave you dinner that night. What time do you go to self-study?"

"It should be [-]:[-]..." Qiao Jue recalled the evening self-study time in the first year of high school. Suddenly, there was a chaotic sound of footsteps and shouting from the stairs on the second floor, from far to near.

"Someone is coming! Come on! Run!" In the small bungalows of Zhou Cui's house downstairs, an old lady's hoarse shout pierced the quiet atmosphere of Tongzilou in the afternoon. Coming, sounding a warning to the gamblers in the bungalow.

Then came the sound of the card table being overturned, and the sound of gamblers rushing up the tube building to find a place to avoid the police.Whenever these people are in a hurry, they don't care about anything anymore, they rush up to the old tube building of the glass factory, and when they see which houses are open, they open the doors and hide in.

"Is the door closed?" Xu Hong's expression changed.

The doors of Qiao Jue and Xu Hong's rooms were well closed, but the door of Qiao Jue's grandfather, Qiao Zeyan, was open. Qiao Jue put down the bowl and rushed out of the kitchen. One, seeing a room with an open door at the end, ran towards the end, and the coins carried by someone fell out of their pockets during the run, and rolled around on the concrete floor on the second floor, jingling.

Qiao Jue stretched out his hand first, and closed the door of Qiao Zeyan's room. The two turned around in a daze and pushed the door of Qiao Jue's kitchen. Xu Hong was behind the kitchen door, looking at the group of people in horror. She closed the screen door, leaned against the door, and looked at the two people coldly.

"What are you doing!" One of them yelled at Qiao Sui with a hoarse voice, obviously in a hurry.

"What are you doing?" Qiao Jue asked back.

"Little brother, please do me a favor. Let us enter your house to hide from the arresters. The reward is good." Another person, dressed as a mason, went to persuade Qiao Sui with nice words.

"Go away!" Qiao Sui said coldly, the way he looked at the two was no different from looking at the gutter in the glass factory.

The person before heard the words and yelled: "Fucking brat, what are you dragging, you are still living in the broken house in the glass factory, right? What kind of people live in the dormitory of the glass factory? They really think of themselves as human beings." Is it?"

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand aggressively to push Qiao Jue, who turned sideways to avoid it. The man's fingers stained with mud and dust left a black mud mark on the cuff of Qiao Juan's white shirt. Hong screamed, and Qiao Jue raised his eyebrows and looked at the man coldly, grabbed the man's arm, and pulled the man's legs away. With his right leg and hand at the same time, he threw the man to the pool next to him.

On the other side, the "Mason" didn't seem to expect that teenagers would fight so fiercely, so he froze in place, forgetting his original purpose of rushing up to the second floor.By the time he realized it, his companion had already been pushed by the side of the pool by the young man in front of him. The young man looked gentle and harmless, but he fought with all his might.

Qiao Jue clasped the man behind his back with his right leg on the man's waist, and pressed the man's face to the drain of the pool. The leftovers poured by the residents on the second floor in the pool had not been washed away, and the smell could be said It was very exciting, but the man didn't know whether it was pain or smoke, and his expression was ugly.

The frightened "mason" rushed forward, trying to break Qiao Jue's hand, trying to save his embarrassed companion from Qiao Jue's hand, but the man failed to break away Qiao Jue's hand, and the clasp on his pocket Kou scratched Qiao Jue's right hand in the entanglement of movements.

As soon as Xu Hong's screams stopped, he found that the two people outside the door were trying to deal with Qiao Jue. He turned around in a panic, and grabbed the kitchen knife from the sink where the dishes were piled up——

The police who caught the gambling rushed up to the second floor, noticed the movement at the end of the corridor, and quickly stepped forward to restrain the two gamblers. Xu Hong stepped back a few steps and put the knife back on the case with trembling hands. They opened the door one by one and poked their heads out from behind the door.

Next to Qiao Jue's room, Li Ronghai paced out old-fashionedly: "What's going on, there's such a big commotion, Zhou Cui's family is caught gambling again."

Lin Chenghan rushed out of the house, saw Qiao Jue, and showed excitement on his face: "A fight? I think it was pretty miserable to be forced to be beaten by you. My mother will hold me so tight that I won't come out, or I will fight with you. Hahaha, there are scallions on that ****'s face, I poured it half an hour ago, it's so cool."

Behind Lin Chenghan came his mother Xu Lingyue's scolding, Lin Chenghan showed disgust, looked behind him, and closed the door of the room.

In the room by the stairs, there was an old man watching by the door. It was Grandma Yan who also lived on the second floor. It seemed that she didn't know what happened just now.

Xu Hong opened the screen door, pulled the clothes on Qiao Jue's back, pulled Qiao Jue into the kitchen, closed the door, Xu Hong's eyes widened slightly, and felt that Qiao Jue's body was still trembling slightly.

"Why did you hit him!" Xu Hong twisted the back of Qiao Jue's left hand, but his voice was very weak.

"If I don't beat him, can he leave?" Qiao Jue asked back, quietly putting his right hand that was cut and bleeding in the dispute just behind him.

"What's the use of beating him? If he's caught, he'll be locked up for a few days. After a few days, he'll be released. Why don't he come back to trouble you? Those people are desperate for money..." Xu Hong Hugging Qiao Jue who was a head taller than her in front of her, there was a cry in her voice.

"If he is not afraid of being beaten, he can come if he has the ability..." Qiao Jue clenched his right hand behind him tightly, the blood from the wound dripped on the ground, and Xu Hong's extremely fragile sobs could be heard next to his ears.

"Mom, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, you've worked so hard, how can other people's children live in this kind of place, suffer from this kind of crime, when will they be big in these days, if they say it's the demolition of the West Village, they can move there I have been waiting for four years to live in the suite I moved back to..."

When is the head? Qiao Jue also wanted to ask himself.
