No.70 days

Shao Wu rushed to the balcony and called Yang Shuyi's house. During the few seconds waiting for the call to connect, he felt so nervous that his throat was trembling, and all kinds of guesses were flying in his mind. What's up?Are you sick?But what kind of illness would a child like her get so that Yang Shuyi wouldn't come to class for a few days?Could it be, could it be a serious illness and a strange illness-Yang Long and Xiaojuan died in the Wenchuan earthquake before, and Shao Wu couldn't help but think of many bad things.

"Hello?" Yang Shuyi's voice came, but no emotion could be heard.

"It's me, Shao Wu, what happened to Longlong?!"

"..."

"Yang Shuyi?" Shao Wu's voice trembled.

"She was bullied by her classmates at school," Yang Shuyi said calmly, "I'm fine, but...forget it, are you free tomorrow?"

"available!"

"Could you come to my house? Talk to her... We told her that she ignored us."

"Okay, okay, what time?"

"What time is fine," Yang Shuyi paused for two seconds, then said softly, "Thank you, Shaowu."

Shao Wu gulped down his saliva, but his voice was still trembling: "You're welcome...as long as you're fine."

Yang Shuyi sighed lightly, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he just said, "Then see you tomorrow."

At noon the next day, after class, Shao Wu went straight to Yang Shuyi's house with the box of Daoxiangcun.

It was Yang Shuyi who opened the door. The mother-in-law was sitting in the corner of the sofa watching TV. When she saw Shao Wu coming in, she stood up and said with a smile, "Xiao Shao is here. I'm sorry to trouble you again. Our family really..."

Shao Wu quickly shook his head: "You're welcome, I'll come and see Longlong."

The mother-in-law pointed to the closed door and whispered, "I'm doing my homework inside." After speaking, she sat back in the corner of the sofa, covered her knees with her hands and rubbed them.Shao Wu looked at his mother-in-law, and lost his mind for a moment. His impression of her mother-in-law was always the same as last year's Chinese New Year, wearing an apron in front of the stove, chopping and cooking vegetables, and her movements were skillful and crisp.But now, the mother-in-law is so old, she seems to be curled up in the corner of the sofa, unable to face all this.

Shao Wu knocked on the door: "Longlong?"

It should not be inside.

"Longlong, it's me, Little Brother Shao," Shao Wu slowed down his tone, "I brought you something delicious, do you want to try it?"

Yang Shuyi stood beside him without saying a word.

A few seconds later, the door opened, and Longlong was still wearing her school uniform: "Brother Shao.

On her left cheek, there was a scarlet scar.

"...Come on, open it yourself," Shao Wu squatted down, holding the pastry box to Longlong, "Do you want to try it?"

Longlong looked at Yang Shuyi, then looked down at Shaowu: "Thank you brother."

"Go inside and eat," Yang Shuyi said, "I'll boil some water for you guys."

Shao Wu and Longlong entered the room and closed the door.

This room originally belonged to Yang Shuyi, but in the past few days, the desk is full of textbooks and exercise books, and there is a small pink schoolbag standing on the window sill.Longlong hugged the pastry box without moving, and sat by the bed.

"Are you having trouble with your brother?" Shao Wu asked cautiously, "Did he bully you? I'll beat him up for you."

Longlong lowered her eyes and shook her head.

Shao Wu sat beside her and looked down at her slightly baby-fat cheeks. The scratch had scabbed over, but one could imagine how painful it was at that time... Shao Wu's heart tightened, thinking of Yang Shuyi saying that Longlong was at school Being bullied, that's probably how the scars on her face came about?

Seeing Longlong not moving, Shao Wu asked, "Why don't you eat?"

She scratched the edge of the bed and whispered, "Get fat."

Shao Wu was stunned, gaining weight?Longlong is not fat at all, but strong. According to her mother-in-law, it is because she practiced sprinting in Yingxiu's elementary school before.

"You are not fat, who said you are fat?" Shao Wu stretched out his arm, "Look at my arm, it is much thicker than yours."

Longlong looked up at Shao Wu, then lowered her head again.

Seeing that she didn't want to talk, Shao Wu didn't force it, and just sat with her.He casually picked up an exercise book from the table, on the cover was written "Sixth Grade". Shao Wu looked at the cover, looked at Longlong, and thought to himself, it's the sixth grade, and this September, Longlong will start junior high school.

Junior high school... Thinking about it this way, she is also a half-grown girl.

"Your brother is actually very anxious," Shao Wu said softly, "He seems to be quite calm, but he pretends not to say anything in his heart, maybe because he is afraid of troublesome others. But this time he really has nothing to do, this is called I'll come to your house and talk to you."

"He said that you were bullied at school and didn't want to go to school. He didn't say the specific situation. He is such a big man, he can't go to your class and ask your classmates one by one." Shao Wu smiled, "Is this good? Okay, you tell me the matter, and I will help you figure out a way without telling your brother."

Longlong bit her lip, and after a long while, she popped out a sentence: "I want to return to Yingxiu."

Shao Wu opened his lips and was speechless.He thought that Longlong must have read the news. She must know that Yingxiu was razed to rubble in the Wenchuan Earthquake.How should I explain this to her?You can't go back to Yingxiu, it's been less than a year since the earthquake, and it's being rebuilt... Still, Longlong, your family is gone.

Shao Wu tried his best to suppress his emotions and asked, "Why do you want to go back?"

"...I want to go home."

"Good boy," Shao Wu couldn't help wrapping his arms around Longlong's shoulders, his voice was extremely gentle, "Yongchuan is also your home, maybe you are still...not used to it, but mother-in-law, father-in-law, and your brother, they are all you Your loved ones, understand? They all love you."

Longlong bent her knees, pressed her head against the pastry box, and said in a muffled voice, "Brother Xiao Shao, don't worry about me. I have already apologized to Liu Chenyang and promised not to fight in the future."

"Is Liu Chenyang your classmate?"

"He's my deskmate."

"How did the wound on the face come from?"

"He pushed me...and rubbed on the ground."

"Then why are you fighting?"

Longlong's body trembled, and she suddenly burst into tears: "He, he called me a bastard. He said, Dad went to Yingxiu because of me and my mother, and then there was an earthquake."

In an instant, Shao Wu felt cold all over.

He could never have imagined that these were the words spoken by a sixth grade pupil.So... so, vicious.

"Brother Xiao Shao," Longlong wiped away tears and cried, "Tell brother, let me go back to Yingxiu."

"Longlong!" Shao Wu put his arms around her shoulders, looked into her eyes, and said word by word, "Don't believe these words, earthquakes... no one can predict earthquakes, understand? This is a little bit like you It doesn't matter."

As soon as Shao Wu finished speaking, the door of the room was suddenly pushed open.Yang Shuyi walked in and knelt down in front of Linglong.Shao Wu was startled secretly, wondering how long Yang Shuyi had been listening outside the door? !

Yang Shuyi's chin and lips trembled slightly. He was trying to endure something, and when he opened his mouth, his voice was as hoarse as sand.He didn't shed tears, not even tears in his eyes, but Shao Wu looked at him blankly, and still felt the thick pain flooding his body like a tide.

"Longlong, I have never dared to tell you about this." Yang Shuyi closed his eyes, then opened them again, "My father went to Yingxiu not because of you, nor because of Aunt Xiaojuan..."

"It's because of me, because I quarreled with him, that's why he took Aunt Xiaojuan to Yingxiu."

"What happened to them has nothing to do with you... It's all my fault, Longlong, it's all my brother's fault."
