Han Xing Yuan Gu
The first chapter was given to Li Gu, and his heart slowly cooled down. (1)
He thought for a while, so the schools in the city are like this?Those straightforward knowledge points flowed like running water, and none of them remained in Li Gu's mind.What the hell is Xu Jiwen talking about?Ji Zhiqing looked indifferent, but his lectures were much more interesting than his.Li Gu thought for a while, why Ji Zhiqing praised Xu Jiwen, did he know that Xu Jiwen was like this in class?For a moment, he even thought about not running away, and now he can save some money by working hard.
But he thought of so many hard-boiled eggs Ji Zhiqing had given him and hesitated again.Li Gu opened the pencil case, and there was a piece of paper stuck inside. The handwriting was strong and strong, and it was written "Youth's thoughts should be taken care of" - this was what he found in the pocket of his sportswear when he was tidying up his clothes, and Ji Zhiqing returned it to him. I gave him some money and put it with this note.When he was young, he had to see higher and farther. He knew Ji Zhiqing's expectations for him.
Li Gu sighed a little inwardly, and looked at the podium again.
Xu Jiwen is still reading from the book desperately, Li Gu thinks his teaching level is not as good as that of Ji Hanxing who is nine years old.But can he run?he can not.He recognized his situation clearly, he couldn't just run away like this, and he couldn't find someone to change shifts like a kid in the city.He has to read like this in this class.A person will definitely be disappointed countless times in his life, and he can survive being disappointed by others. He is only afraid that he will be disappointed in himself.
Li Gu's small body, which had just slumped down, straightened up again, his eyes were wide open, and his ears were pricked up.Think of it as self-learning from the radio. He has never had such an advanced thing as a radio, so it's not a loss.
Probably his burning eyes caught Xu Jiwen's attention. Xu Jiwen raised his eyelids and asked him to get up to answer the question.Li Gu replied that his Mandarin was corrected by Ji Zhiqing, and he did not show timidity.Xu Jiwen nodded, his expression was still indifferent, but he walked up to him for the first time, and asked him what his name was.Li Gu heard a "hum" in his head, thinking that this was exactly what Xu Yuan reminded him yesterday, and he was so anxious that he couldn't die, and he choked out two words with a strong dialect flavor.
The class suddenly burst into laughter.
The poker brother behind Li Gu was particularly cheerful, laughing until he let out a series of chirping sounds.The chaotic atmosphere that was still in small troubles was completely boiled at this moment.
Li Gu looked at Xu Jiwen awkwardly, Xu Jiwen glared at him, and clenched his back teeth.He subconsciously said "Don't be noisy", but he probably only heard a few people around him, and what should be arguing is still arguing.At that moment Li Gu read a kind of embarrassment of being teased from his eyes.He suddenly understood that Xu Jiwen had misunderstood something, and quickly said, "Teacher, I...I'm not..."
Not intentional.
Before he finished speaking, Xu Jiwen had already turned around and walked away. He returned to the podium, continued to put on a dying expression, and started to read in a flat tone.
Li Gu couldn't deal with it in his heart, he held his breath and waited for Xu Jiwen to look at him. He also planned to express his apology with his eyes. He really didn't mean to break the classroom discipline.But Xu Jiwen didn't raise his head, as if it didn't matter whether the students sitting below were waiting to be watered by knowledge or radish and cabbage.
Li Gu sighed for himself in his heart, but he had to pull himself together and listen carefully, writing down every note he had made on the text.Xu Jiwen is not good at teaching, but he can study hard, nothing more than working harder.It's just that there was a little thing that he couldn't understand after thinking about it, so he got up to find Xu Jiwen when the bell rang after class.It turned out that the teacher was interesting, as if he had a bazooka attached to his ass that would light up when the get out of class bell rang, and he quickly launched himself out. Li Gu quickly took two steps to catch up with him.
"Teacher, I have a problem."
Xu Jiwen's eyes flicked over him, and he was speechless for a long time. In the end, he probably saw a bit of unteachable temperament from him, and said lightly: "The class that is going to be tested has been said. Don't ask anything else, it's useless." .”
Xu Jiwen left just like that, and Li Gu's little flame of seeking knowledge was ignited again.
He walked back with his book in his arms.Li Gu pursed his lips, and quickly persuaded himself to calm down.What's the matter?Is he a noble and pampered child?no.As for such a little cold face, can't you bear it?Not so.
He made up his mind, not to mention just teaching it perfunctorily, even if someone whipped him with a big shoe board, so what?He wore the oversized white shirt that the old villager made for him frugally, ate Ji Zhiqing's eggs, and Ji Hanxing praised him "Brother is great!" when he said he was going to be admitted to middle school. How can you not learn how to behave?
For class [-], the bell after class is nothing exciting. They never use the bell as a distinction between class and get out of class. get ready.Xu Yuan wanted to talk to Li Gu, but stopped when he approached him, and looked at Li Gu sorting out his class notes with a strange expression.
When people want to degenerate, they always have a kind of vigilance towards their companions. It doesn’t matter if they go barefoot together. If one person wants to wear shoes, that is a traitor.
Fortunately, the scribbled words in the "Traitor" class were so ugly, so reassuringly ugly, Xu Yuan glanced at his notebook, thinking old-fashionedly, no flowers can bloom in this silt, no matter who When you come here, you will all become the same in the end.
After a while Yu Wei beckoned to Xu Yuan, Xu Yuan's eyes were obviously bright, and he sneaked in nimbly with his waist bent - it turned out that Yu Wei asked him to help buy cigarettes.Xu Yuan asked Li Gu if he would go, but Li Gu didn't understand why there was such a thing.Xu Yuan smacked his arm: "Work for Wei Ge, and you won't have to worry about no one covering you in the future." Li Gu understood now.Xu Yuan is probably still a non-staff member and has been trying to integrate into the small group of Yu Wei.Originally, it was the easiest thing to go with the flow.
It's a pity that Xu Yuan used the wrong person for his support, and Li Gu, a rotten rock that could not be talked about, showed no interest at all: "No, I haven't finished my notes yet." He looked at him, and then resolutely gave up the ideological education of this half of the villagers, and went to buy cigarettes for Yu Wei with his head held high.
Li Gu took out the copybook from the drawer, wiped his trouser seam with his hands, and then unwrapped the plastic wrapping around the copybook.He opened the cover, carefully read a word, and then traced it stroke by stroke in the void.When he was doing this, he was like an old monk in meditation. He didn't seem to be sitting in the middle of the noisy crowd, but he seemed to have returned to Ningchuan. The mountains that trapped these people, the dry and cold wind of Ningchuan blowing in their ears.
Raise hand
After Xu Yuan understood that Li Gu was not up to the mark, he stopped rushing to bring him into the circle.Li Gu was at ease, practicing calligraphy and reciting books by himself.
From the two "teachers Ji", Li Gu learned a good habit. When he went home at night, he read all the things he wrote down in class, and wrote down what he didn't understand on a piece of paper, and often took it out to figure it out.Some problems can be figured out on your own after a long time, so use a pen to tick them off.If he couldn't tick it off, he kept it in his pocket and continued to think about it.
He felt that he was a little stupider than others, and if he really wanted to learn something, he had to work harder than others.
Li Gu received very little education in the past ten years, and now he is in such a class, it is too difficult to learn well.He could only imagine by himself, if it was Ji Zhiqing, how would he teach this lesson, and if it was Ji Hanxing, what method would he use to make himself remember.
Li Gu vaguely knew that Ji Hanxing's well-known boarding school was in the same city as him, and it was much closer to No. [-] Middle School than Ningchuan, but he didn't know the exact address.The young man couldn't help thinking with a little loss, some people are like stars in the sky, their light is long and far away for you to see, but you just can't touch it.
He also has his teenage heart and spirit, and was left out by Xu Jiwen, and then he couldn't think of it and didn't ask him again.This old scholar seems to be hanging his last breath every day, he just reads and doesn't give lectures.Li Gu looked down on it in his heart, he felt that this was not a teacher's approach.In response to the unique teaching method of the teacher in Class 1, Li Gu also developed a new solution. He still sat upright, but he stopped looking up at the teacher, and took a pen to memorize from the first minute to the last minute.
When Ji Zhiqing was giving lectures, he didn't use a pen to take notes. It was like being at a concert, distracted by taking pictures with his mobile phone and easily missing the wonderful moments.Xu Jiwen glanced at him occasionally, and met Li Gu's eyes. Li Gu showed no fluctuations. The two teachers and students, one is like a broadcasting machine, and the other is like a recorder.Xu Jiwen glanced at him thoughtfully, then quickly lowered his head and turned the pages of the book, also showing that he didn't take Li Gu seriously.
There is usually no break in the middle of two consecutive classes, but Xu Jiwen is someone who will not stay in the class even if the class is over for a second.As soon as he left, the already poor discipline was not taken care of, and the class exploded with a "buzz".Li Gu was forcibly honed to have the ability to concentrate on doing his own thing, and make up the notes that he didn't have time to memorize just now based on his memories.When he looked up from the book, he found that Cheng Yong and Yu Wei had some discord for some reason.
The atmosphere between the two was tense, and there was mutual pushing and shoving, which had not been resolved when approaching class.It seems that Cheng Yong suffered a loss from Yu Wei, and he hasn't finished venting his anger yet.But the bell rang for class after a while. Although they didn't take the teacher seriously, they would usually show some face in a symbolic way, so as not to make too much noise in class.Yu Wei returned to his seat, covered his eyes with bangs, as if he didn't care about him, and made Cheng Yong even more angry, panting heavily.
After the bell rang three times, Xu Jiwen walked into the classroom with a thick book under his arm.If you look carefully, you will find that his lesson preparation is very careful, and the textbook is densely filled with annotations.He glanced at the class that was quieter than usual, glanced across the last few rows, and said in a flat tone, "Turn the book to page 17." Well, he started reading again.
Cheng Yong cursed in a low voice first, half a year old can't hold it back, you have to let it go if you are angry.Yu Wei replied a swear word indifferently, Cheng Yong slapped the table and stood up, and the two escalated from swearing to each other tacitly to fighting.At the beginning, Yu Wei was still sane, and he only cared about parrying. After being hit twice by Cheng Yong, he probably hurt, and started to fight back regardless of other things.Both are at an age where they can't stand the grievances and can't breathe, and the battle situation continues to escalate.
From the moment Cheng Yong stood up, Li Gu began to observe Xu Jiwen's reaction, but this one seemed to have turned off his five senses, and he used himself as a broadcasting machine steadily, and he didn't even have an extra expression.
Yu Wei was quick, picked up an object in his hand and threw it towards Cheng Yong, Li Gu turned his head and saw a bloody streak scraped by Cheng Yong's ear, dripping blood shockingly.
The class was extremely quiet. At first, the students wanted to hold the mentality of watching a good show, but now most people's eyes have turned into fear.They dared to watch silently, like a flock of cowardly little quails, lest they be affected by misfortune.Yu Wei's eyes shrank, seeing blood, he was also afraid, he might not want to fight, but in front of so many people, it was hard to stop.He hoped that the dying teacher would reprimand them and tell them to separate.
But Xu Jiwen didn't.
Li Gu couldn't sit still anymore, he felt that this was wrong.How can a teacher be so indifferent in his own classroom?The same goes for the classmates, they are all bleeding, can they still do this and watch?
When he was about to do something, the image of himself accusing the thief at the market that day suddenly appeared in his mind.Li Gu hesitated for a moment, should he take care of this nosy matter?Maybe no one will thank him, maybe those two bastards who are not things will still make trouble for him.But... He only hesitated for a moment, then raised his hand.
All eyes were on him, and he put an end to this war.
Xu Jiwen asked indifferently: "What's the matter, classmate Li Gu?" Li Gu swallowed his saliva and pretended to be calm: "Cheng Yong is not feeling well and needs to go to the school infirmary." Glancing at Li Gu, he unconsciously pursed his lips, showing a somewhat aggrieved expression, which was soon replaced by his stubborn and disobedient expression.Cheng Yong looked at Xu Jiwen.
Xu Jiwen couldn't hide his ears anymore, his eyes flicked past Li Gu, and then he looked at the two people who didn't forget to exercise their muscles and bones in class. There was almost no expression on his rigid face.After all, they were only children, and they were still a little naturally afraid of the teacher. Both of them stopped, with the expressions on their faces unwilling to admit defeat or admit their mistakes, but they stopped fighting.
Xu Jiwen didn't seem to be interested in this, he didn't point it out and didn't care: "If you feel uncomfortable, go to the doctor, don't wait."
So far the dust has settled.
Yu Wei pushed Cheng Yong's collar hand forward and let him go.Cheng Yong knew he couldn't get it right, so he wiped the blood on his face, and his two younger brothers opened the back door and followed.Yu Wei sat back, his bangs covered his eyes again, and the class resumed the class.Only Xu Yuan, who was sitting close to him, took a deep breath and said in a low voice, "Okay, Li Gu, you are awesome."
Li Gu shook his head, and continued to take notes with that scrambling hand.
After class, Li Gu was in a hurry to go out to the bathroom through the back door. Unfortunately, in the corridor, he ran into Xu Jiwen who had just left the classroom after packing his things slowly.
He spoke slowly, as if it was worth hesitating for a long time before each word came out. Li Gu heard him ask himself in the tone of an old cow pulling a car slowly: "Did you understand the question last time?"
For a moment, two thoughts popped into Li Gu's mind, one told him to show his strength, raised his head and said, "I don't understand, I don't take the test anyway, and I won't learn it either!" You have to be like him: "Okay, Li Gu, the opportunity has come, hurry up, shame is nothing, don't do it if you want it, and figure out what you don't understand first."
Obviously Li Gu chose the less cool one. He looked at Xu Jiwen with bright eyes without any suspicion: "I've been thinking about it for a few days, and I don't know if I understand it. Let me tell you, teacher, please help me see." Can you see it?"
Xu Jiwen was stunned for a moment, then nodded to him.
Brother Li Gu
After class that day, Li Guzheng came out of the school cafeteria with a bun in his mouth that was ten li away from the stuffing.The doorman was familiar with these boys who lived in the school, and beckoned him to help take the letter from the messenger room to the classroom.Li Gu accidentally found his name in a stack of letters, as well as his familiar, beautiful and neat handwriting.
Ji Hanxing wrote him a letter!
Li Gu was not willing to open it, he even had to read the envelope carefully, and when he saw the sender's address, his mind moved, he pointed to the doorman, and called him out of conscience: "Uncle, uncle, is this, is it that boarding school?" Yeah? Is it far from here?"
Uncle consciously made himself an uncle, but unfortunately he was illiterate, so he squinted his eyes for a while and said, "Where is it?" Li Gu was anxious: "This, Yueming Road, over there in the east city." "Oh, yes, It's not close. It takes more than half an hour to drive there." "Then, if we go by car, how long will it take to get there?" Li Gu stretched his neck and asked.The doorman gave him a strange look: "Who will go so far away? No matter what, it will take more than three hours."
For more than three hours, Li Gu knew what was going on.He is used to staying in Ningchuan, so this is just a little long journey for him.
Ji Hanxing explained to him the matter of leaving early in the letter, which solved Li Gu's little knot.He also said that he finished reading in the first half of this year, and he will enroll in the fourth grade in the second half of the year.He was concerned about Li Gu's study in the city, and asked him if he was used to life here.Li Gu came to No. [-] Middle School, and he had never been cared about like this before.He is a child without a father and no mother, and the village head is a stubborn and stubborn person. He only has his dilapidated village in his heart, and there is no one on the phone.Li Gu was forcefully forced out of his strong self-reliance, and his mood was stable across the transition period.It wasn't until he received Ji Hanxing's letter that he realized that he also wanted someone to ask him, "Are you used to it?"
The distant brilliance of the stars fell on the paper, Li Gu smoothed the letter paper and put it away, hiding it with the copybook.
As soon as class ended on Friday, Li Gu went to the cafeteria to buy a few more steamed buns for an unprecedented time.Xu Yuan joked about why he was suddenly so generous today. Li Gu didn't want to tell the truth, but he couldn't help but say happily: "I'm going out tomorrow." Xu Yuan was interested and asked, but Li Gu refused to speak. .The monkey spirit originally wanted to follow him to see what happened, but Li Gu got up and left the school before dawn the next day.
The city is no better than Ningchuan, there are fresh shops and streets everywhere, it is easy to dazzle people's eyes.Li Gu could recognize every mountain and every small river in Ningchuan, but he couldn't find his way here.He spent [-] cents to buy a tourist map at the newsstand next to the school, and walked to Ji Hanxing's school while asking people.Li Gu had an excellent sense of direction, and he followed the sporadic signs on the road without making any mistakes.It's just that he doesn't have a watch, and occasionally he will stoop to look in other people's shops to see if there is a clock hanging in the lobby, so as to judge the time.
By the time the sky was bright, he had almost finished walking for a short distance.Li Gu didn't take a breath, took out a steamed bun from the small broken bag, gnawed it and walked.Young people don't know how tired they are. Everything along the way is fresh, and the distance is full of hope. Even the bland steamed buns make him taste the sweetness.
When approaching the center of the city, the scene of the city was different again. On the way, the little bumpkin took the wrong exit because he couldn’t cross the pedestrian passage. Li Gu found that he had gone the wrong way, but he thought it was fun. He was surprised by the design of the underground passage, bouncing around. Jump back and walk through it all over again.Unfortunately, when he was going up the stairs, he accidentally tripped himself, causing his toes to shrink in pain.
The pain in the feet was mild, and Li Gu felt sorry for those shoes.He took off his shoes and stuffed them on both sides of his schoolbag, and ran forward barefoot.The cold spring has not yet passed, but at this age, the blood on his body is hot.
Li Gu still finds it unbelievable when he recalls it. He was 15 years old and walked for four hours abruptly to find Ji Hanxing's school.When that beautiful school appeared in front of his eyes, and the address coincided with the sending place on the letter paper, he himself felt strange.Li Gu showed a smile, and walked forward full of anticipation. Before reaching the reception room, he paused and wiped his feet with a handkerchief—this is the habit he learned from Ji Zhiqing, and he put it on again. shoe.Duan Zhengzheng walked over and knocked on the window of the reception room: "Hi, I, I'm here to find someone."
The guard didn't raise his head: "Outsiders are not allowed to enter the school."
Li Gu wiped the seam of his trousers with his hands: "Then I won't go in, can you find someone for me? His name is Ji Han..."
"No," the guard interrupted him rudely: "Where did you come from? Children are precious here. I'll find someone to watch the door for me?"
"Okay." Li Gu replied without thinking.The doorman was shocked by his lack of vision, and felt that if he talked to him more, his IQ would be lowered by him, so he ignored him.Li Gu walked around the neighborhood and came back again: "Brother, I really came here to find someone. I have a younger brother who is studying there. He even wrote me a letter. Look, the address is your place." The guard was not interested. Glancing at him, he looked Li Gu up and down again, expressing his impoliteness without concealing it, dressed like this, how can there be a younger brother who goes to a private school?
"We have a rule that you can't afford to lose a child, so don't think about it. I really want to see the child come with his parents. You can only enter after registering."
At a loss, Li Gu stretched his neck to look in, but he didn't see anything.While sad, he felt strangely that Ji Hanxing's school was really good, much more formal than No. [-] Middle School, and he also felt a little paternalistic relief.
Seeing the sun rising higher and higher, Li Gu went to the security booth again: "What time is it?"
The security guard's gaze drifted over, pressed the corner of his mouth in disgust, and still glanced at the clock face: "It's past ten." I found a place to sit on the curb not far away.He took out another steamed bun from his schoolbag, and ate it freely with plain water.
The security guard stretched out his head to look at him, and retracted his neck again.After a while, the sun was high, and he dragged his small schoolbag and squatted under the security booth: "Hey, brother, borrow a place." The security guard was speechless: "I said, why don't you leave? "Isn't it the weekend today? I just want to see my brother. You won't let me in. I can only think about what if he comes out." The security guard's head hurts: "Sit a little longer, what's your brother's name, When the guard changes later, I'll help you go in and ask."
"Really?" Li Gu was so happy that he jumped three feet, and the last two words almost joined together to form a more sissy pronunciation.The security guard waved his hand: "Go away, the guard hasn't changed yet, just wait for you." "Hey! Okay, thank you brother." Li Gu bowed to him, and the security guard shook his head.His changing of the guard is at least lunch time, and there are others.
Li Gu got up too early, hugged his legs under the eaves of the security booth, and began to doze off before he finished eating the steamed buns.He nodded in sleepiness, just when he was unconscious, he saw a small figure walking towards him through the iron gate.
Ji Hanxing was wearing a dark blue suit and uniform with white borders - the uniforms of British nobles were popular in private schools at that time. This suit made him look like a little prince in a fairy tale.He walked a few steps quickly, stood still through the iron gate, bent down and tilted his head to carefully look at the sleeping person next to the security room.Li Gu Mimi stared and raised his eyes, startled, his butt fell backwards, he grinned his teeth and "hissed", Ji Hanxing had already seen the dusty shoes on his feet when he was recovering, He had eaten more than half of the white steamed buns in his hand... The child straightened up, knocked on the window of the security room, and said in a sweet and polite voice, "Hi Uncle, my brother is here to see me, please open the door."
Li Gu was still an old man just now, and he was not afraid of playing hooligans with the security guards. At this moment, he didn't know what to say. Ji Hanxing came out and called him: "Brother Li Gu."
Li Gu was a little embarrassed and wanted to hide the half-drawn steamed buns in his hand, but he couldn't find a place to put them in for a long time.In the end, he just gave him a smirk.Ji Hanxing also looked at him with a smile, and stretched out his small hand towards him: "I'm hungry, let's go eat."
star i will protect you
Li Gu had never known about Ji Hanxing's family before. He only knew that Ji Hanxing was raised by Ji Zhiqing's father, and what kind of relationship he had with Mr. Ji before.Although he was also curious, he didn't deliberately inquire. First, he felt that Ji Hanxing's age shouldn't understand too complicated things. Second, he vaguely found out from the attitudes of the people around him that there was something unspeakable behind it.
That day Ji Hanxing took him to eat at the newly opened foreign fast food near the school. This was a novelty at the time, and there was only such a restaurant in the whole city.Li Gu looked at the door and didn't dare to go in. He felt that this was not a place to eat, but a cave for selling gold.If he killed himself, he wouldn't have eaten this meal. Then he thought that children of Ji Hanxing's age were interested in these foods. He swallowed his thoughts and saliva, and touched them quietly. Feeling in his pocket, this month's living expenses are all in it, so he should be able to afford Ji Hanxing's meal.
Ji Hanxing raised his head and asked him what to eat. Li Gu glanced at the price list and felt that he was short of oxygen, but Ji Hanxing is such a cute child, what is there that such a child does not deserve?Li Gu didn't say what he wanted, but only said: "Xing Xing can eat whatever he wants." Ji Hanxing was also happy, and ordered two different set meals.
Li Gu knew how to count, he had already secured his own money, and when the waiter reported the number, he pumped out his money as accurately as a missile, and stuffed it into the other party's hand quickly and accurately.The waiter had never seen someone so impulsive in handing over money, so Wei Wei gave him an extra look in surprise.Ji Hanxing looked at him, and said "Thank you, brother" in a low and well-behaved voice.Li Gu was happy and proud, he felt that eating a steamed bun every day for the rest of this month was worth it.
After paying the money, he still had to queue up to pick up the meal. Li Gu had a lesson of losing Ji Hanxing once, and he would drag the child wherever he went.Finally, he held the dinner plate in one hand and led Ji Hanxing to find a seat with the other, just like a little parent.When he arrived at the table and saw the tall single stool in the dining room, Li Gu put down the plate as before, and first lifted Ji Hanxing up to tell him to sit down.
The aroma of the food made Li Gu swallow his saliva. The golden fried chicken legs looked really mouth-watering, but he couldn't find the chopsticks, so he couldn't do it.Ji Hanxing didn't break Li Gu's embarrassment. He grabbed a chicken leg first, gnawed it, and urged, "Eat it quickly, the outer shell of the chicken leg is only crispy when it's hot." Li Gu followed suit, He took a bite with his hand.
"Delicious!" "Isn't it?" Ji Hanxing was also satisfied, the two looked at each other and smiled, and ate a full meal together.
After Ji Hanxing asked him how the school was, Li Gubi said lightly that he learned a lot of new things.But he is a person who can't hide things, what is written in his eyes is different from what he says in his mouth, Ji Hanxing blinked his beautiful eyes, and did not pursue the question.Compared with himself, Li Gu cared more about whether Ji Hanxing would have enough to eat at school and whether he would be bullied.He worried about others in his own way: "Is there that in your class, a bastard?"
Ji Hanxing shook his head: "No." Li Gu was worried, thinking that children might not understand what a gangster is, so he gestured and said, "It's the kind that may be taller and stronger than you, and likes to fight and bully, is there any?" Ji Hanxing looked at him with bright eyes: "The teacher won't allow it." Just like what the security guard said, everyone here is an expensive child, and the annual tuition fee is enough for ordinary people to feed for several years. The school dare not let them accident.
Li Gu ate very quickly by himself, and it was resolved by swallowing the jujube in twos and threes, so Ji Hanxing set aside some of his own and gave it to him.Li Gu shyly said no, I'll give you something to eat, brother is full.Ji Hanxing sighed and looked at the chicken wings on the plate: "That's a pity, do you want to throw it away?" "No, no, I can still eat it." Li Gu picked up the chicken wings and gnawed on them without much hope.Ji Hanxing slowly picked up a piece of French fries and dipped them in ketchup a little farther away. Before doing this, he rolled up the sleeves of his uniform. From his leisurely movements, Li Gu felt that people and people are actually different. Between, school and school, itself is not the same.
Li Gu was a little envious and a little inferior: "I saw it when I came here. Your school is really beautiful. The walls are newly painted, just like paintings." Ji Hanxing thought for a while and nodded: "The school that the educated youth is looking for is very good. Good. Our English class is taught by foreign teachers."
"Really? Like that, a foreigner with green eyes like that?" Ji Hanxing was amused by his appearance, and he pursed his lips and smiled: "It's fun when they speak Chinese, I'll learn one for you, and add buns for me (Give me a Roujiamo)." Li Gu laughed with him.
In the end, Li Gu wiped his mouth, and finally asked a tacky question: "Then, is this school also free of tuition?" Ji Hanxing looked at Li Gu, and then at the surroundings. There was a trace of indescribable emotion on his face, and his voice Very lightly: "It's because of my father..."
"what?"
Ji Hanxing jumped off the stool and took his hand: "Let's go after eating."
One big and one small wandered into the small park together, and no one noticed them around. Ji Hanxing asked him if many people in the village guessed where he came from.Li Gu was a little embarrassed. It turned out that the child knew everything: "Well, you were brought by Teacher Ji, but you are not his child. Everyone is curious, but..." Li Gu was afraid that he was overwhelmed, so he made excuses stupidly: "Xing Xing, it's nothing, no one is gossiping. Everyone respects Teacher Ji and likes you, no matter what." Ji Hanxing looked at Li Gu's tense expression, knowing that he probably made up his mind. illegitimate child.He wasn't angry, he just thought Li Gu was amused.
He was sitting on a park bench next to a tanned Li Gu.Ji Hanxing said very quietly that his father died while performing a mission. "He caught a lot of bad guys and made a lot of contributions. But some of the bad guys escaped. They didn't give up their revenge after my father died. After two years, they found my grandfather's house and burned the house down. Mom, grandpa, and grandma are all inside."
Li Gu felt a shock from his calm narration. No matter how sensible Ji Hanxing acted, in his eyes, Ji Hanxing was still a child who needed to be cared for and protected. Ji Hanxing meant something.In Li Gu's mind, Ji Hanxing was such a bright child, how could, how could he have encountered such a thing?
"I was stolen by the kid next door to play that day. The rest of the family didn't know about it, so the bad guys didn't know about it. After the accident, they found out that my family had such a terrible enemy. The kid next door left me in the field at the head of the village. I didn’t dare to take it back. It’s just that it happened to be my father’s memorial day, and the bad guys probably wanted to choose this day too... The educated youth uncle came to visit us, saw the fire at home, and saw me. He picked me up and brought me Let's go, and change the name from now on to be raised at Grandpa Ji's house."
Li Gu seemed to be listening to some unbelievable legend. His hands trembled slightly, and he stroked Ji Hanxing's hair: "When did you...know these things?"
Ji Hanxing raised his face slightly, the sun was already very good at this time, his thick and long eyelashes cast a small shadow on his face: "I knew my parents were gone a long time ago, and they couldn't coax me. Later it was because, here It’s too expensive, and I don’t want to spend the educated youth’s money to study. I heard the educated youth’s phone call with others, and they said it’s safe here, and you don’t have to worry about the tuition.”
There was no emotion in the little man's eyes. He seemed to be saying something very normal: "That's it. My father got a pension after his death, and the educated youth uncle also wanted me to receive the best education." , will be able to protect itself in the future.”
Li Gu's heart twisted: "What do you mean by safety? The bad guys... haven't been caught yet?"
Ji Hanxing shook his little head: "No."
"Then Teacher Ji, who should it be you?"
Ji Hanxing said softly, "I don't know."
Li Gu looked at Ji Hanxing's small figure, and suddenly there was a lot of sense of responsibility and courage as a brother in his not-so-great body: "Xing Xing, I will protect you." Many years later, Li Gu recalled Thinking of that scene, I felt that Ji Hanxing might not have believed his words at that time.The kid just has a better heart and is willing to encourage every kind of kindness, just like how he praised Li Gu when he heard that he was going to study.
But Li Gu was very serious.He originally felt that he had no right to worry about Ji Hanxing, but now that he thought about it, Ji Hanxing lost all his relatives, changed his name and surname to foster care in other people's homes, and was sent to a closed education after the elder who raised him for many years passed away. school.Li Gu only felt sad and pity, touched the top of his fluffy head and sighed: "Xingxing."
what can he do
The two children talked for a long time, Ji Hanxing urged Li Gu to go back, Li Gu rarely saw him, and didn't want to go back too early.Ji Hanxing said that if you don't take the bus from the urban area to the outside of the city, there will be no more buses soon.Li Gu leaked his words, exposing his "super power" that he didn't rely on the bus to go back and forth. As soon as he said the words, he found that the child's expression was wrong.
Ji Hanxing guessed at first that he would walk a few more stops to save money, but he didn't expect that he really came here step by step.It's such a long journey... Li Guping made the children unhappy for no reason, drooping his head like a big dog with a guilty conscience waiting for training.He should be an older brother, but for some reason, he is more cowardly in front of Ji Hanxing than brave. Whenever Ji Hanxing is unhappy, he trembles in his heart.
"Xing Xing, brother is wrong, it doesn't matter really. Three hours of walking is actually fast, I am used to walking, and I am not tired at all." Ji Hanxing didn't need to look at him.Li Gu didn't know what to do, he was afraid that Ji Hanxing would tell him not to come in the future.After a while, the child calmed down by himself, and said patiently: "Next time, I will take the No. [-] bus. I can ask people or buy a traffic map where I want to go. Don't go so far. It's not like in the mountains. There are fewer cars in the mountains." "
Li Guxuan hurriedly applauded with drooping eyebrows: "Xing Xing is right."
He sent Ji Hanxing back to school, and waved him vigorously through the iron gate to let him in first. Ji Hanxing knew his temper, so he waved goodbye to him obediently, until the dark blue figure disappeared and Li Gu calmed down.He walked over a few steps and said to the security guard: "I told you, it's really my brother, I'll come again next time."
Li Gu turned around and put it in his pocket, and found that there was a red note in his pocket at some point.He recalled that it was probably Ji Hanxing who stuffed him back when he was not prepared.this kid...
Li Gu walked back to No. [-] Middle School through the night.Xu Yuan in the dormitory came over to him cunningly and asked him if he went out to do bad things?Li Gu was taken aback for a moment. Normally, a kid at this age would only have a few things going back and forth in his head, but Li Gu didn't seem to have puberty in his growth. To germinate a subtle boyish mood.
Seeing his dazed look, Xu Yuan realized that he didn't need to ask, so he glanced at him uninterestedly: "All right, you can't do anything."
Except for Ning Chuan and Ji Hanxing, Li Gu was all focused on his studies.Since Xu Jiwen's attitude towards him improved, Li Gu often went to him with some questions, and the old scholar was willing to answer him. From time to time, he would also conduct surprise raids to ask him questions. Unfortunately, Li Gu could only answer the things he had learned in school. A little bit of expansion is a touch of black.
Once when Li Gu was answering a question, he showed the advantage of his quick mind, he organized his language quickly, and he was quite impressed by Xu Zhiwen's heart. The old scholar came to him on a whim, and asked him with a smile in his eyes: "Do you know?" What does Ma Kedai' mean?" Then Li Gu was completely confused, and he didn't know what he didn't learn.Xu Jiwen stared at him for a long time, and finally realized that he was being affectionate, and when he saw Li Gu's big ignorant eyes, he became angry, and waved his hand to tell him to sit down and stop dangling in front of him.
This is the only teacher who has a lot of contact with Li Gu. Unfortunately, he only teaches Chinese and ideology and morality. The teachers of other subjects are more perfunctory than Xu Jiwen. They come and go in a hurry, and it is impossible to give him answers. Li Gu can only read and write more .
Li Guchang has not been separated from the village head for so long at such an age, and he began to miss the people who raised him when he improved slightly in his studies. Break into Ningchuan's commissary.Knowing from the owner of the canteen that the village chief’s subsidy has not been received, he has been busy going to the county to complain about cheating these days.Li Gu put down the phone in a daze, and didn't move for a long time. The boss called him and didn't respond, so he didn't care about him anymore.
Li Gu had lived with the old village chief for so long, so he had a general understanding of Ningchuan's situation. Without this subsidy, many villagers would not even have the money to buy seeds when the spring planting season came.Their whole village depends on
But he thought of so many hard-boiled eggs Ji Zhiqing had given him and hesitated again.Li Gu opened the pencil case, and there was a piece of paper stuck inside. The handwriting was strong and strong, and it was written "Youth's thoughts should be taken care of" - this was what he found in the pocket of his sportswear when he was tidying up his clothes, and Ji Zhiqing returned it to him. I gave him some money and put it with this note.When he was young, he had to see higher and farther. He knew Ji Zhiqing's expectations for him.
Li Gu sighed a little inwardly, and looked at the podium again.
Xu Jiwen is still reading from the book desperately, Li Gu thinks his teaching level is not as good as that of Ji Hanxing who is nine years old.But can he run?he can not.He recognized his situation clearly, he couldn't just run away like this, and he couldn't find someone to change shifts like a kid in the city.He has to read like this in this class.A person will definitely be disappointed countless times in his life, and he can survive being disappointed by others. He is only afraid that he will be disappointed in himself.
Li Gu's small body, which had just slumped down, straightened up again, his eyes were wide open, and his ears were pricked up.Think of it as self-learning from the radio. He has never had such an advanced thing as a radio, so it's not a loss.
Probably his burning eyes caught Xu Jiwen's attention. Xu Jiwen raised his eyelids and asked him to get up to answer the question.Li Gu replied that his Mandarin was corrected by Ji Zhiqing, and he did not show timidity.Xu Jiwen nodded, his expression was still indifferent, but he walked up to him for the first time, and asked him what his name was.Li Gu heard a "hum" in his head, thinking that this was exactly what Xu Yuan reminded him yesterday, and he was so anxious that he couldn't die, and he choked out two words with a strong dialect flavor.
The class suddenly burst into laughter.
The poker brother behind Li Gu was particularly cheerful, laughing until he let out a series of chirping sounds.The chaotic atmosphere that was still in small troubles was completely boiled at this moment.
Li Gu looked at Xu Jiwen awkwardly, Xu Jiwen glared at him, and clenched his back teeth.He subconsciously said "Don't be noisy", but he probably only heard a few people around him, and what should be arguing is still arguing.At that moment Li Gu read a kind of embarrassment of being teased from his eyes.He suddenly understood that Xu Jiwen had misunderstood something, and quickly said, "Teacher, I...I'm not..."
Not intentional.
Before he finished speaking, Xu Jiwen had already turned around and walked away. He returned to the podium, continued to put on a dying expression, and started to read in a flat tone.
Li Gu couldn't deal with it in his heart, he held his breath and waited for Xu Jiwen to look at him. He also planned to express his apology with his eyes. He really didn't mean to break the classroom discipline.But Xu Jiwen didn't raise his head, as if it didn't matter whether the students sitting below were waiting to be watered by knowledge or radish and cabbage.
Li Gu sighed for himself in his heart, but he had to pull himself together and listen carefully, writing down every note he had made on the text.Xu Jiwen is not good at teaching, but he can study hard, nothing more than working harder.It's just that there was a little thing that he couldn't understand after thinking about it, so he got up to find Xu Jiwen when the bell rang after class.It turned out that the teacher was interesting, as if he had a bazooka attached to his ass that would light up when the get out of class bell rang, and he quickly launched himself out. Li Gu quickly took two steps to catch up with him.
"Teacher, I have a problem."
Xu Jiwen's eyes flicked over him, and he was speechless for a long time. In the end, he probably saw a bit of unteachable temperament from him, and said lightly: "The class that is going to be tested has been said. Don't ask anything else, it's useless." .”
Xu Jiwen left just like that, and Li Gu's little flame of seeking knowledge was ignited again.
He walked back with his book in his arms.Li Gu pursed his lips, and quickly persuaded himself to calm down.What's the matter?Is he a noble and pampered child?no.As for such a little cold face, can't you bear it?Not so.
He made up his mind, not to mention just teaching it perfunctorily, even if someone whipped him with a big shoe board, so what?He wore the oversized white shirt that the old villager made for him frugally, ate Ji Zhiqing's eggs, and Ji Hanxing praised him "Brother is great!" when he said he was going to be admitted to middle school. How can you not learn how to behave?
For class [-], the bell after class is nothing exciting. They never use the bell as a distinction between class and get out of class. get ready.Xu Yuan wanted to talk to Li Gu, but stopped when he approached him, and looked at Li Gu sorting out his class notes with a strange expression.
When people want to degenerate, they always have a kind of vigilance towards their companions. It doesn’t matter if they go barefoot together. If one person wants to wear shoes, that is a traitor.
Fortunately, the scribbled words in the "Traitor" class were so ugly, so reassuringly ugly, Xu Yuan glanced at his notebook, thinking old-fashionedly, no flowers can bloom in this silt, no matter who When you come here, you will all become the same in the end.
After a while Yu Wei beckoned to Xu Yuan, Xu Yuan's eyes were obviously bright, and he sneaked in nimbly with his waist bent - it turned out that Yu Wei asked him to help buy cigarettes.Xu Yuan asked Li Gu if he would go, but Li Gu didn't understand why there was such a thing.Xu Yuan smacked his arm: "Work for Wei Ge, and you won't have to worry about no one covering you in the future." Li Gu understood now.Xu Yuan is probably still a non-staff member and has been trying to integrate into the small group of Yu Wei.Originally, it was the easiest thing to go with the flow.
It's a pity that Xu Yuan used the wrong person for his support, and Li Gu, a rotten rock that could not be talked about, showed no interest at all: "No, I haven't finished my notes yet." He looked at him, and then resolutely gave up the ideological education of this half of the villagers, and went to buy cigarettes for Yu Wei with his head held high.
Li Gu took out the copybook from the drawer, wiped his trouser seam with his hands, and then unwrapped the plastic wrapping around the copybook.He opened the cover, carefully read a word, and then traced it stroke by stroke in the void.When he was doing this, he was like an old monk in meditation. He didn't seem to be sitting in the middle of the noisy crowd, but he seemed to have returned to Ningchuan. The mountains that trapped these people, the dry and cold wind of Ningchuan blowing in their ears.
Raise hand
After Xu Yuan understood that Li Gu was not up to the mark, he stopped rushing to bring him into the circle.Li Gu was at ease, practicing calligraphy and reciting books by himself.
From the two "teachers Ji", Li Gu learned a good habit. When he went home at night, he read all the things he wrote down in class, and wrote down what he didn't understand on a piece of paper, and often took it out to figure it out.Some problems can be figured out on your own after a long time, so use a pen to tick them off.If he couldn't tick it off, he kept it in his pocket and continued to think about it.
He felt that he was a little stupider than others, and if he really wanted to learn something, he had to work harder than others.
Li Gu received very little education in the past ten years, and now he is in such a class, it is too difficult to learn well.He could only imagine by himself, if it was Ji Zhiqing, how would he teach this lesson, and if it was Ji Hanxing, what method would he use to make himself remember.
Li Gu vaguely knew that Ji Hanxing's well-known boarding school was in the same city as him, and it was much closer to No. [-] Middle School than Ningchuan, but he didn't know the exact address.The young man couldn't help thinking with a little loss, some people are like stars in the sky, their light is long and far away for you to see, but you just can't touch it.
He also has his teenage heart and spirit, and was left out by Xu Jiwen, and then he couldn't think of it and didn't ask him again.This old scholar seems to be hanging his last breath every day, he just reads and doesn't give lectures.Li Gu looked down on it in his heart, he felt that this was not a teacher's approach.In response to the unique teaching method of the teacher in Class 1, Li Gu also developed a new solution. He still sat upright, but he stopped looking up at the teacher, and took a pen to memorize from the first minute to the last minute.
When Ji Zhiqing was giving lectures, he didn't use a pen to take notes. It was like being at a concert, distracted by taking pictures with his mobile phone and easily missing the wonderful moments.Xu Jiwen glanced at him occasionally, and met Li Gu's eyes. Li Gu showed no fluctuations. The two teachers and students, one is like a broadcasting machine, and the other is like a recorder.Xu Jiwen glanced at him thoughtfully, then quickly lowered his head and turned the pages of the book, also showing that he didn't take Li Gu seriously.
There is usually no break in the middle of two consecutive classes, but Xu Jiwen is someone who will not stay in the class even if the class is over for a second.As soon as he left, the already poor discipline was not taken care of, and the class exploded with a "buzz".Li Gu was forcibly honed to have the ability to concentrate on doing his own thing, and make up the notes that he didn't have time to memorize just now based on his memories.When he looked up from the book, he found that Cheng Yong and Yu Wei had some discord for some reason.
The atmosphere between the two was tense, and there was mutual pushing and shoving, which had not been resolved when approaching class.It seems that Cheng Yong suffered a loss from Yu Wei, and he hasn't finished venting his anger yet.But the bell rang for class after a while. Although they didn't take the teacher seriously, they would usually show some face in a symbolic way, so as not to make too much noise in class.Yu Wei returned to his seat, covered his eyes with bangs, as if he didn't care about him, and made Cheng Yong even more angry, panting heavily.
After the bell rang three times, Xu Jiwen walked into the classroom with a thick book under his arm.If you look carefully, you will find that his lesson preparation is very careful, and the textbook is densely filled with annotations.He glanced at the class that was quieter than usual, glanced across the last few rows, and said in a flat tone, "Turn the book to page 17." Well, he started reading again.
Cheng Yong cursed in a low voice first, half a year old can't hold it back, you have to let it go if you are angry.Yu Wei replied a swear word indifferently, Cheng Yong slapped the table and stood up, and the two escalated from swearing to each other tacitly to fighting.At the beginning, Yu Wei was still sane, and he only cared about parrying. After being hit twice by Cheng Yong, he probably hurt, and started to fight back regardless of other things.Both are at an age where they can't stand the grievances and can't breathe, and the battle situation continues to escalate.
From the moment Cheng Yong stood up, Li Gu began to observe Xu Jiwen's reaction, but this one seemed to have turned off his five senses, and he used himself as a broadcasting machine steadily, and he didn't even have an extra expression.
Yu Wei was quick, picked up an object in his hand and threw it towards Cheng Yong, Li Gu turned his head and saw a bloody streak scraped by Cheng Yong's ear, dripping blood shockingly.
The class was extremely quiet. At first, the students wanted to hold the mentality of watching a good show, but now most people's eyes have turned into fear.They dared to watch silently, like a flock of cowardly little quails, lest they be affected by misfortune.Yu Wei's eyes shrank, seeing blood, he was also afraid, he might not want to fight, but in front of so many people, it was hard to stop.He hoped that the dying teacher would reprimand them and tell them to separate.
But Xu Jiwen didn't.
Li Gu couldn't sit still anymore, he felt that this was wrong.How can a teacher be so indifferent in his own classroom?The same goes for the classmates, they are all bleeding, can they still do this and watch?
When he was about to do something, the image of himself accusing the thief at the market that day suddenly appeared in his mind.Li Gu hesitated for a moment, should he take care of this nosy matter?Maybe no one will thank him, maybe those two bastards who are not things will still make trouble for him.But... He only hesitated for a moment, then raised his hand.
All eyes were on him, and he put an end to this war.
Xu Jiwen asked indifferently: "What's the matter, classmate Li Gu?" Li Gu swallowed his saliva and pretended to be calm: "Cheng Yong is not feeling well and needs to go to the school infirmary." Glancing at Li Gu, he unconsciously pursed his lips, showing a somewhat aggrieved expression, which was soon replaced by his stubborn and disobedient expression.Cheng Yong looked at Xu Jiwen.
Xu Jiwen couldn't hide his ears anymore, his eyes flicked past Li Gu, and then he looked at the two people who didn't forget to exercise their muscles and bones in class. There was almost no expression on his rigid face.After all, they were only children, and they were still a little naturally afraid of the teacher. Both of them stopped, with the expressions on their faces unwilling to admit defeat or admit their mistakes, but they stopped fighting.
Xu Jiwen didn't seem to be interested in this, he didn't point it out and didn't care: "If you feel uncomfortable, go to the doctor, don't wait."
So far the dust has settled.
Yu Wei pushed Cheng Yong's collar hand forward and let him go.Cheng Yong knew he couldn't get it right, so he wiped the blood on his face, and his two younger brothers opened the back door and followed.Yu Wei sat back, his bangs covered his eyes again, and the class resumed the class.Only Xu Yuan, who was sitting close to him, took a deep breath and said in a low voice, "Okay, Li Gu, you are awesome."
Li Gu shook his head, and continued to take notes with that scrambling hand.
After class, Li Gu was in a hurry to go out to the bathroom through the back door. Unfortunately, in the corridor, he ran into Xu Jiwen who had just left the classroom after packing his things slowly.
He spoke slowly, as if it was worth hesitating for a long time before each word came out. Li Gu heard him ask himself in the tone of an old cow pulling a car slowly: "Did you understand the question last time?"
For a moment, two thoughts popped into Li Gu's mind, one told him to show his strength, raised his head and said, "I don't understand, I don't take the test anyway, and I won't learn it either!" You have to be like him: "Okay, Li Gu, the opportunity has come, hurry up, shame is nothing, don't do it if you want it, and figure out what you don't understand first."
Obviously Li Gu chose the less cool one. He looked at Xu Jiwen with bright eyes without any suspicion: "I've been thinking about it for a few days, and I don't know if I understand it. Let me tell you, teacher, please help me see." Can you see it?"
Xu Jiwen was stunned for a moment, then nodded to him.
Brother Li Gu
After class that day, Li Guzheng came out of the school cafeteria with a bun in his mouth that was ten li away from the stuffing.The doorman was familiar with these boys who lived in the school, and beckoned him to help take the letter from the messenger room to the classroom.Li Gu accidentally found his name in a stack of letters, as well as his familiar, beautiful and neat handwriting.
Ji Hanxing wrote him a letter!
Li Gu was not willing to open it, he even had to read the envelope carefully, and when he saw the sender's address, his mind moved, he pointed to the doorman, and called him out of conscience: "Uncle, uncle, is this, is it that boarding school?" Yeah? Is it far from here?"
Uncle consciously made himself an uncle, but unfortunately he was illiterate, so he squinted his eyes for a while and said, "Where is it?" Li Gu was anxious: "This, Yueming Road, over there in the east city." "Oh, yes, It's not close. It takes more than half an hour to drive there." "Then, if we go by car, how long will it take to get there?" Li Gu stretched his neck and asked.The doorman gave him a strange look: "Who will go so far away? No matter what, it will take more than three hours."
For more than three hours, Li Gu knew what was going on.He is used to staying in Ningchuan, so this is just a little long journey for him.
Ji Hanxing explained to him the matter of leaving early in the letter, which solved Li Gu's little knot.He also said that he finished reading in the first half of this year, and he will enroll in the fourth grade in the second half of the year.He was concerned about Li Gu's study in the city, and asked him if he was used to life here.Li Gu came to No. [-] Middle School, and he had never been cared about like this before.He is a child without a father and no mother, and the village head is a stubborn and stubborn person. He only has his dilapidated village in his heart, and there is no one on the phone.Li Gu was forcefully forced out of his strong self-reliance, and his mood was stable across the transition period.It wasn't until he received Ji Hanxing's letter that he realized that he also wanted someone to ask him, "Are you used to it?"
The distant brilliance of the stars fell on the paper, Li Gu smoothed the letter paper and put it away, hiding it with the copybook.
As soon as class ended on Friday, Li Gu went to the cafeteria to buy a few more steamed buns for an unprecedented time.Xu Yuan joked about why he was suddenly so generous today. Li Gu didn't want to tell the truth, but he couldn't help but say happily: "I'm going out tomorrow." Xu Yuan was interested and asked, but Li Gu refused to speak. .The monkey spirit originally wanted to follow him to see what happened, but Li Gu got up and left the school before dawn the next day.
The city is no better than Ningchuan, there are fresh shops and streets everywhere, it is easy to dazzle people's eyes.Li Gu could recognize every mountain and every small river in Ningchuan, but he couldn't find his way here.He spent [-] cents to buy a tourist map at the newsstand next to the school, and walked to Ji Hanxing's school while asking people.Li Gu had an excellent sense of direction, and he followed the sporadic signs on the road without making any mistakes.It's just that he doesn't have a watch, and occasionally he will stoop to look in other people's shops to see if there is a clock hanging in the lobby, so as to judge the time.
By the time the sky was bright, he had almost finished walking for a short distance.Li Gu didn't take a breath, took out a steamed bun from the small broken bag, gnawed it and walked.Young people don't know how tired they are. Everything along the way is fresh, and the distance is full of hope. Even the bland steamed buns make him taste the sweetness.
When approaching the center of the city, the scene of the city was different again. On the way, the little bumpkin took the wrong exit because he couldn’t cross the pedestrian passage. Li Gu found that he had gone the wrong way, but he thought it was fun. He was surprised by the design of the underground passage, bouncing around. Jump back and walk through it all over again.Unfortunately, when he was going up the stairs, he accidentally tripped himself, causing his toes to shrink in pain.
The pain in the feet was mild, and Li Gu felt sorry for those shoes.He took off his shoes and stuffed them on both sides of his schoolbag, and ran forward barefoot.The cold spring has not yet passed, but at this age, the blood on his body is hot.
Li Gu still finds it unbelievable when he recalls it. He was 15 years old and walked for four hours abruptly to find Ji Hanxing's school.When that beautiful school appeared in front of his eyes, and the address coincided with the sending place on the letter paper, he himself felt strange.Li Gu showed a smile, and walked forward full of anticipation. Before reaching the reception room, he paused and wiped his feet with a handkerchief—this is the habit he learned from Ji Zhiqing, and he put it on again. shoe.Duan Zhengzheng walked over and knocked on the window of the reception room: "Hi, I, I'm here to find someone."
The guard didn't raise his head: "Outsiders are not allowed to enter the school."
Li Gu wiped the seam of his trousers with his hands: "Then I won't go in, can you find someone for me? His name is Ji Han..."
"No," the guard interrupted him rudely: "Where did you come from? Children are precious here. I'll find someone to watch the door for me?"
"Okay." Li Gu replied without thinking.The doorman was shocked by his lack of vision, and felt that if he talked to him more, his IQ would be lowered by him, so he ignored him.Li Gu walked around the neighborhood and came back again: "Brother, I really came here to find someone. I have a younger brother who is studying there. He even wrote me a letter. Look, the address is your place." The guard was not interested. Glancing at him, he looked Li Gu up and down again, expressing his impoliteness without concealing it, dressed like this, how can there be a younger brother who goes to a private school?
"We have a rule that you can't afford to lose a child, so don't think about it. I really want to see the child come with his parents. You can only enter after registering."
At a loss, Li Gu stretched his neck to look in, but he didn't see anything.While sad, he felt strangely that Ji Hanxing's school was really good, much more formal than No. [-] Middle School, and he also felt a little paternalistic relief.
Seeing the sun rising higher and higher, Li Gu went to the security booth again: "What time is it?"
The security guard's gaze drifted over, pressed the corner of his mouth in disgust, and still glanced at the clock face: "It's past ten." I found a place to sit on the curb not far away.He took out another steamed bun from his schoolbag, and ate it freely with plain water.
The security guard stretched out his head to look at him, and retracted his neck again.After a while, the sun was high, and he dragged his small schoolbag and squatted under the security booth: "Hey, brother, borrow a place." The security guard was speechless: "I said, why don't you leave? "Isn't it the weekend today? I just want to see my brother. You won't let me in. I can only think about what if he comes out." The security guard's head hurts: "Sit a little longer, what's your brother's name, When the guard changes later, I'll help you go in and ask."
"Really?" Li Gu was so happy that he jumped three feet, and the last two words almost joined together to form a more sissy pronunciation.The security guard waved his hand: "Go away, the guard hasn't changed yet, just wait for you." "Hey! Okay, thank you brother." Li Gu bowed to him, and the security guard shook his head.His changing of the guard is at least lunch time, and there are others.
Li Gu got up too early, hugged his legs under the eaves of the security booth, and began to doze off before he finished eating the steamed buns.He nodded in sleepiness, just when he was unconscious, he saw a small figure walking towards him through the iron gate.
Ji Hanxing was wearing a dark blue suit and uniform with white borders - the uniforms of British nobles were popular in private schools at that time. This suit made him look like a little prince in a fairy tale.He walked a few steps quickly, stood still through the iron gate, bent down and tilted his head to carefully look at the sleeping person next to the security room.Li Gu Mimi stared and raised his eyes, startled, his butt fell backwards, he grinned his teeth and "hissed", Ji Hanxing had already seen the dusty shoes on his feet when he was recovering, He had eaten more than half of the white steamed buns in his hand... The child straightened up, knocked on the window of the security room, and said in a sweet and polite voice, "Hi Uncle, my brother is here to see me, please open the door."
Li Gu was still an old man just now, and he was not afraid of playing hooligans with the security guards. At this moment, he didn't know what to say. Ji Hanxing came out and called him: "Brother Li Gu."
Li Gu was a little embarrassed and wanted to hide the half-drawn steamed buns in his hand, but he couldn't find a place to put them in for a long time.In the end, he just gave him a smirk.Ji Hanxing also looked at him with a smile, and stretched out his small hand towards him: "I'm hungry, let's go eat."
star i will protect you
Li Gu had never known about Ji Hanxing's family before. He only knew that Ji Hanxing was raised by Ji Zhiqing's father, and what kind of relationship he had with Mr. Ji before.Although he was also curious, he didn't deliberately inquire. First, he felt that Ji Hanxing's age shouldn't understand too complicated things. Second, he vaguely found out from the attitudes of the people around him that there was something unspeakable behind it.
That day Ji Hanxing took him to eat at the newly opened foreign fast food near the school. This was a novelty at the time, and there was only such a restaurant in the whole city.Li Gu looked at the door and didn't dare to go in. He felt that this was not a place to eat, but a cave for selling gold.If he killed himself, he wouldn't have eaten this meal. Then he thought that children of Ji Hanxing's age were interested in these foods. He swallowed his thoughts and saliva, and touched them quietly. Feeling in his pocket, this month's living expenses are all in it, so he should be able to afford Ji Hanxing's meal.
Ji Hanxing raised his head and asked him what to eat. Li Gu glanced at the price list and felt that he was short of oxygen, but Ji Hanxing is such a cute child, what is there that such a child does not deserve?Li Gu didn't say what he wanted, but only said: "Xing Xing can eat whatever he wants." Ji Hanxing was also happy, and ordered two different set meals.
Li Gu knew how to count, he had already secured his own money, and when the waiter reported the number, he pumped out his money as accurately as a missile, and stuffed it into the other party's hand quickly and accurately.The waiter had never seen someone so impulsive in handing over money, so Wei Wei gave him an extra look in surprise.Ji Hanxing looked at him, and said "Thank you, brother" in a low and well-behaved voice.Li Gu was happy and proud, he felt that eating a steamed bun every day for the rest of this month was worth it.
After paying the money, he still had to queue up to pick up the meal. Li Gu had a lesson of losing Ji Hanxing once, and he would drag the child wherever he went.Finally, he held the dinner plate in one hand and led Ji Hanxing to find a seat with the other, just like a little parent.When he arrived at the table and saw the tall single stool in the dining room, Li Gu put down the plate as before, and first lifted Ji Hanxing up to tell him to sit down.
The aroma of the food made Li Gu swallow his saliva. The golden fried chicken legs looked really mouth-watering, but he couldn't find the chopsticks, so he couldn't do it.Ji Hanxing didn't break Li Gu's embarrassment. He grabbed a chicken leg first, gnawed it, and urged, "Eat it quickly, the outer shell of the chicken leg is only crispy when it's hot." Li Gu followed suit, He took a bite with his hand.
"Delicious!" "Isn't it?" Ji Hanxing was also satisfied, the two looked at each other and smiled, and ate a full meal together.
After Ji Hanxing asked him how the school was, Li Gubi said lightly that he learned a lot of new things.But he is a person who can't hide things, what is written in his eyes is different from what he says in his mouth, Ji Hanxing blinked his beautiful eyes, and did not pursue the question.Compared with himself, Li Gu cared more about whether Ji Hanxing would have enough to eat at school and whether he would be bullied.He worried about others in his own way: "Is there that in your class, a bastard?"
Ji Hanxing shook his head: "No." Li Gu was worried, thinking that children might not understand what a gangster is, so he gestured and said, "It's the kind that may be taller and stronger than you, and likes to fight and bully, is there any?" Ji Hanxing looked at him with bright eyes: "The teacher won't allow it." Just like what the security guard said, everyone here is an expensive child, and the annual tuition fee is enough for ordinary people to feed for several years. The school dare not let them accident.
Li Gu ate very quickly by himself, and it was resolved by swallowing the jujube in twos and threes, so Ji Hanxing set aside some of his own and gave it to him.Li Gu shyly said no, I'll give you something to eat, brother is full.Ji Hanxing sighed and looked at the chicken wings on the plate: "That's a pity, do you want to throw it away?" "No, no, I can still eat it." Li Gu picked up the chicken wings and gnawed on them without much hope.Ji Hanxing slowly picked up a piece of French fries and dipped them in ketchup a little farther away. Before doing this, he rolled up the sleeves of his uniform. From his leisurely movements, Li Gu felt that people and people are actually different. Between, school and school, itself is not the same.
Li Gu was a little envious and a little inferior: "I saw it when I came here. Your school is really beautiful. The walls are newly painted, just like paintings." Ji Hanxing thought for a while and nodded: "The school that the educated youth is looking for is very good. Good. Our English class is taught by foreign teachers."
"Really? Like that, a foreigner with green eyes like that?" Ji Hanxing was amused by his appearance, and he pursed his lips and smiled: "It's fun when they speak Chinese, I'll learn one for you, and add buns for me (Give me a Roujiamo)." Li Gu laughed with him.
In the end, Li Gu wiped his mouth, and finally asked a tacky question: "Then, is this school also free of tuition?" Ji Hanxing looked at Li Gu, and then at the surroundings. There was a trace of indescribable emotion on his face, and his voice Very lightly: "It's because of my father..."
"what?"
Ji Hanxing jumped off the stool and took his hand: "Let's go after eating."
One big and one small wandered into the small park together, and no one noticed them around. Ji Hanxing asked him if many people in the village guessed where he came from.Li Gu was a little embarrassed. It turned out that the child knew everything: "Well, you were brought by Teacher Ji, but you are not his child. Everyone is curious, but..." Li Gu was afraid that he was overwhelmed, so he made excuses stupidly: "Xing Xing, it's nothing, no one is gossiping. Everyone respects Teacher Ji and likes you, no matter what." Ji Hanxing looked at Li Gu's tense expression, knowing that he probably made up his mind. illegitimate child.He wasn't angry, he just thought Li Gu was amused.
He was sitting on a park bench next to a tanned Li Gu.Ji Hanxing said very quietly that his father died while performing a mission. "He caught a lot of bad guys and made a lot of contributions. But some of the bad guys escaped. They didn't give up their revenge after my father died. After two years, they found my grandfather's house and burned the house down. Mom, grandpa, and grandma are all inside."
Li Gu felt a shock from his calm narration. No matter how sensible Ji Hanxing acted, in his eyes, Ji Hanxing was still a child who needed to be cared for and protected. Ji Hanxing meant something.In Li Gu's mind, Ji Hanxing was such a bright child, how could, how could he have encountered such a thing?
"I was stolen by the kid next door to play that day. The rest of the family didn't know about it, so the bad guys didn't know about it. After the accident, they found out that my family had such a terrible enemy. The kid next door left me in the field at the head of the village. I didn’t dare to take it back. It’s just that it happened to be my father’s memorial day, and the bad guys probably wanted to choose this day too... The educated youth uncle came to visit us, saw the fire at home, and saw me. He picked me up and brought me Let's go, and change the name from now on to be raised at Grandpa Ji's house."
Li Gu seemed to be listening to some unbelievable legend. His hands trembled slightly, and he stroked Ji Hanxing's hair: "When did you...know these things?"
Ji Hanxing raised his face slightly, the sun was already very good at this time, his thick and long eyelashes cast a small shadow on his face: "I knew my parents were gone a long time ago, and they couldn't coax me. Later it was because, here It’s too expensive, and I don’t want to spend the educated youth’s money to study. I heard the educated youth’s phone call with others, and they said it’s safe here, and you don’t have to worry about the tuition.”
There was no emotion in the little man's eyes. He seemed to be saying something very normal: "That's it. My father got a pension after his death, and the educated youth uncle also wanted me to receive the best education." , will be able to protect itself in the future.”
Li Gu's heart twisted: "What do you mean by safety? The bad guys... haven't been caught yet?"
Ji Hanxing shook his little head: "No."
"Then Teacher Ji, who should it be you?"
Ji Hanxing said softly, "I don't know."
Li Gu looked at Ji Hanxing's small figure, and suddenly there was a lot of sense of responsibility and courage as a brother in his not-so-great body: "Xing Xing, I will protect you." Many years later, Li Gu recalled Thinking of that scene, I felt that Ji Hanxing might not have believed his words at that time.The kid just has a better heart and is willing to encourage every kind of kindness, just like how he praised Li Gu when he heard that he was going to study.
But Li Gu was very serious.He originally felt that he had no right to worry about Ji Hanxing, but now that he thought about it, Ji Hanxing lost all his relatives, changed his name and surname to foster care in other people's homes, and was sent to a closed education after the elder who raised him for many years passed away. school.Li Gu only felt sad and pity, touched the top of his fluffy head and sighed: "Xingxing."
what can he do
The two children talked for a long time, Ji Hanxing urged Li Gu to go back, Li Gu rarely saw him, and didn't want to go back too early.Ji Hanxing said that if you don't take the bus from the urban area to the outside of the city, there will be no more buses soon.Li Gu leaked his words, exposing his "super power" that he didn't rely on the bus to go back and forth. As soon as he said the words, he found that the child's expression was wrong.
Ji Hanxing guessed at first that he would walk a few more stops to save money, but he didn't expect that he really came here step by step.It's such a long journey... Li Guping made the children unhappy for no reason, drooping his head like a big dog with a guilty conscience waiting for training.He should be an older brother, but for some reason, he is more cowardly in front of Ji Hanxing than brave. Whenever Ji Hanxing is unhappy, he trembles in his heart.
"Xing Xing, brother is wrong, it doesn't matter really. Three hours of walking is actually fast, I am used to walking, and I am not tired at all." Ji Hanxing didn't need to look at him.Li Gu didn't know what to do, he was afraid that Ji Hanxing would tell him not to come in the future.After a while, the child calmed down by himself, and said patiently: "Next time, I will take the No. [-] bus. I can ask people or buy a traffic map where I want to go. Don't go so far. It's not like in the mountains. There are fewer cars in the mountains." "
Li Guxuan hurriedly applauded with drooping eyebrows: "Xing Xing is right."
He sent Ji Hanxing back to school, and waved him vigorously through the iron gate to let him in first. Ji Hanxing knew his temper, so he waved goodbye to him obediently, until the dark blue figure disappeared and Li Gu calmed down.He walked over a few steps and said to the security guard: "I told you, it's really my brother, I'll come again next time."
Li Gu turned around and put it in his pocket, and found that there was a red note in his pocket at some point.He recalled that it was probably Ji Hanxing who stuffed him back when he was not prepared.this kid...
Li Gu walked back to No. [-] Middle School through the night.Xu Yuan in the dormitory came over to him cunningly and asked him if he went out to do bad things?Li Gu was taken aback for a moment. Normally, a kid at this age would only have a few things going back and forth in his head, but Li Gu didn't seem to have puberty in his growth. To germinate a subtle boyish mood.
Seeing his dazed look, Xu Yuan realized that he didn't need to ask, so he glanced at him uninterestedly: "All right, you can't do anything."
Except for Ning Chuan and Ji Hanxing, Li Gu was all focused on his studies.Since Xu Jiwen's attitude towards him improved, Li Gu often went to him with some questions, and the old scholar was willing to answer him. From time to time, he would also conduct surprise raids to ask him questions. Unfortunately, Li Gu could only answer the things he had learned in school. A little bit of expansion is a touch of black.
Once when Li Gu was answering a question, he showed the advantage of his quick mind, he organized his language quickly, and he was quite impressed by Xu Zhiwen's heart. The old scholar came to him on a whim, and asked him with a smile in his eyes: "Do you know?" What does Ma Kedai' mean?" Then Li Gu was completely confused, and he didn't know what he didn't learn.Xu Jiwen stared at him for a long time, and finally realized that he was being affectionate, and when he saw Li Gu's big ignorant eyes, he became angry, and waved his hand to tell him to sit down and stop dangling in front of him.
This is the only teacher who has a lot of contact with Li Gu. Unfortunately, he only teaches Chinese and ideology and morality. The teachers of other subjects are more perfunctory than Xu Jiwen. They come and go in a hurry, and it is impossible to give him answers. Li Gu can only read and write more .
Li Guchang has not been separated from the village head for so long at such an age, and he began to miss the people who raised him when he improved slightly in his studies. Break into Ningchuan's commissary.Knowing from the owner of the canteen that the village chief’s subsidy has not been received, he has been busy going to the county to complain about cheating these days.Li Gu put down the phone in a daze, and didn't move for a long time. The boss called him and didn't respond, so he didn't care about him anymore.
Li Gu had lived with the old village chief for so long, so he had a general understanding of Ningchuan's situation. Without this subsidy, many villagers would not even have the money to buy seeds when the spring planting season came.Their whole village depends on
