At eight o'clock in the evening, Linshui County, Huidong City.

Most of the shops on both sides of the river road are closed, and the plaques are hung with a thick layer of ash, as if they have been closed for a long time.

The diners at the barbecue stall at the fork in the road are not interested, and they can't even hear the sound of persuading them to drink, the magic medicine advertisement of the health care product store next door flashes with marquee, the street lamps on both sides of the road are in disrepair, the light bulbs are flashing constantly, the branches and leaves of the willow trees by the river are swaying with the wind, and there are no pedestrians on both sides of the road, which seems to be particularly lonely.

A little girl on the road walked in a hurry, she didn't look very old, but her height was not low, about 1.7 meters, she combed a black ponytail, washed to a white bib pants with a simple white T-shirt, stepped on a pair of white shell shoes, she carried two lunch boxes in the net pocket in her right hand, the street lamp in front of her was broken, it was pitch black, which made her scared, the more she looked, the more scared, and the pace became faster and faster.

"Beauty, it's to bring food to someone, wait for me, my brother has a car, Harley knows no, big motorcycle!"

It was a man in shorts with a shaved head, shirtless on the top, jeans on the bottom, and tattoos on his bare skin.

They were a group of three, hooking each other's shoulders, their faces were flushed, they seemed to have drunk a lot, and the steps of the girl were also crooked.

"Why do you go faster and faster? Wait brother, otherwise my brother won't hurt you in the future..."

"If you stop now, my brother will love you to death..."

The more they talked, the more frivolous and unscrupulous they became, and from time to time they let out lewd/lascivious laughter, echoing in the boulevards.

The three people who had just finished eating at the small restaurant at the fork in the road were attracted by the girls passing by at the door at the same time as soon as they went out.

Yes, this girl gives people the feeling of first love.

The smooth face is not powdered, the skin is like clotted fat, even under the dim street lamp, it makes people feel that it can be broken with a snap of the fingers, the double eyelids and apricot eyes, the eyebrows are full of the girl's unique shyness, as if people will blush when they look at it more, and the pink lips make people look at it, and there is an urge to kiss.

Especially when walking, the ponytail is flicked and flicked, which makes people feel -

Probably this is the "she" in my heart

They are captivated at the same time and at the same time decide to catch up.

The girl was very nervous by what they said, her head was slightly bowed, her eyes were red, and she looked like she could shed tears at any moment.

The girl was very timid, and was a little afraid of people who had drunk, after all, since she remembered things, her alcoholic father had beaten and scolded her hard-working and obedient mother every now and then, which made her from then on her outlook on life extremely disgusted and hated this kind of people.

She listened to the sometimes hurried, sometimes slowed pace behind her, and the only way was to quicken her pace, thinking that she would hurry across the street to a crowded place, so that they would not dare to act recklessly.

"Sister... Hey, talking to you, my brother's lips are about to wear out, you should give a response, where are you going, my brother will send you, it's too dangerous for a girl to walk on the road"

"Especially a beautiful little sister like you, she needs someone to protect her even more, come to my brother's arms"

"Xiao Qi, I don't like what you say, it won't be your turn in anyone's arms, it should be in my warm arms!"

The girl felt as if they were getting closer and closer to her, she bit her lip, fine beads of sweat appeared on the tip of her tall and handsome nose, and the net pocket that she was carrying the lunch box was also placed in front of her, slowly changing from a brisk walk to a trot.

Seeing this, the three people behind also followed quickly.

She was already moving to the fastest speed, and the light of the main road was ahead, and there were still dozens of meters to go, she bit her lip tightly and began to run with her head held high.

Finally, run to the main road.

The road widens, the lights become brighter, the trees become taller, and although there are not many pedestrians, most of them are talking and laughing, and it looks quite lively.

She finally got some comfort in her heart, and kept the tears that were about to flow in her eyes.

The three shirtless men who followed behind did not retreat, but instead used the strength of the wine to show the girl their status in the city.

"Sister, slow down... My brother is top-heavy and can't keep up with you."

The man in the middle yelled at the people on the side of the road, "What the hell are you looking at, haven't you ever seen Lao Tzu chasing a girl?

"The leg length is different, sister, you stop first, my brother doesn't mean anything else, he just wants to compare whose legs are longer with you!"

The girl did not slow down, and finally dared to raise her head a little, because fifty meters ahead, at the intersection of the main road and another street, there was a fruit stand, not large, with an indoor area of no more than five square meters... In fact, the rain on the first floor pressed a roller shutter door, and when the stall was closed, the fruits were put in the roller shutter door, and when the stall was released, the stacked fruits were stacked and then put on the layer.

That's her destination.

On the boss's chair outside the fruit stand sat a young man, twenty-two years old.

Big flower pants with a hurdle vest, a pair of military shoes worth seventeen yuan, and the old god with a fan in one hand is fanning the wind.

His name is Shang Yang, the owner of the fruit stall.

There are many people like him in Linshui County with a business area of less than ten square meters, just renting a fixed fruit stall on the corner of the building, but to say that the business is good, his fruit stall is among the best, and it is comparable to the fruit stall in the supermarket, but in fact, it is not how good he is at doing business, nor is it that he sells fresher than others.

The reason is so strange that it makes people want to laugh: he looks relatively handsome.

The aunts said that he was Dehua, and even if he didn't buy fruits, he was usually willing to sit here and talk to him.

The rotten girls said that he was Yanzu, and every time he used the excuse of buying fruits, he looked at him twice with bad intentions.

As for the little girl, he said that he looked smaller than the star, and he almost had to sign it.

In fact, if he has the right to choose, he would rather be ugly, so that when he sells fruits, it will not cause family conflicts...

And at this time.

He was keenly aware that there was a black shadow coming from the side, and he reacted extremely quickly to stand up, but he was still a bad move, and was hit by this black shadow in all directions, and the huge force made him almost unstable on his feet, he looked in his arms, the girl in his arms was half a head shorter than him, and was firmly hugging, and he was already crying until his body trembled.

"Rain Boy?"

Shang Yang was stunned.

The girl who hugged him firmly was the girl who was carrying the lunch box just now, her full name was Chen Yutong, and Shang Yang's family were in the family building of the chemical plant, Chen Yutong's family lived on the first floor, opening a small store, Shang Yang's family lived on the second floor, that is, directly above, the two were three years apart, and they could be regarded as playing together from childhood to adulthood.

Chen Yutong's hanging heart finally let go, buried his head in Shang Yang's arms, and cried like a child.

"Don't cry, don't cry, who bullies..."

Shang Yang hurriedly patted her on the back to comfort, he has been protecting Chen Yutong since he was a child, maybe he has a weak heart, because the kind Aunt Wang, that is, Chen Yutong's mother, always shows strange generosity towards him, a "bad element", he dares to say without exaggeration that he has never given money for eating ice cream for so many years, and when Aunt Wang turns around, he can take out one and put it in his mouth, pull his legs and run.

Aunt Wang always looked at his back with a smile and didn't pursue it.

Before he could finish speaking, he saw the three who had followed Chen Yutong just now, just braked, and turned around and ran away.

It suddenly dawned on me.

Raised his hand and said, "Come on, come on, don't go, explain the problem clearly before leaving, hurry up, do you have to wait for me to do it?"

Just look at the three people who were still showing off their martial arts just now, they suddenly turned into bitter gourd faces, and the appearance of relying on alcohol just now also dissipated like smoke, and they moved over step by step.

The person standing in the middle said, "Brother Shang... We don't know that this is my sister-in-law, I really don't know, if we know, don't say it's following, we just don't dare to look at it more, we still want to live well, how can we find death by ourselves..."

The other person had a shawl dragon tattooed on his body, and he couldn't help but laugh and said, "Yes, yes, it's all a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding, hehe"

"Don't fart, stand in a row!"

Shang Yang yelled irritably.

The three of them looked even more ugly, and they still stood in a row in a regular manner, looking at them only in a respectful manner.

Linshui County is not big, the permanent population is only 300,000, people have a yearning for the "rivers and lakes" heart at a certain age, as far as Linshui County is concerned, in addition to those big hooligans can not be provoked, there is a very special group, that is, the children of the chemical plant, how many years have their parents worked together, the relationship between the iron, the surprising unity of the younger generations, provoked a person, just look at the crowd like the New Year rush to the gate of the compound to gush out, who sees the scalp numb.

The famous big brother Scarface in this county also said: Stay away from these animals.

And among these children, the most unprovoked is the recognized "bad element" Shang Yang, since the age of thirteen, when others fight wrestling, he dares to smash a brick on his head, highlighting a ruthless word.

Especially three years ago, when I was about to graduate from high school, I was even more inexplicable with a knife, went to the largest entertainment venue in the county, that is, the scar-faced Lihao Bar, and smashed the field.

I haven't heard him do anything evil in the past few years, and he should wash his hands in a golden basin.

But many people in Linshui County know that at a fruit stall on Central Road, the stall owner who looks handsome is Shang Yang, who can still be peaceful after smashing the scarred face bar.

Chen Yutong heard Shang Yang angry, slowly let go of him, raised the ring finger of his left hand, hooked it to Shang Yang's right trouser pocket, and looked at the three of them with him, his long eyelashes were soaked with tears, but his eyes had regained the clarity after the fright, she had been like this since she was a child, hooking Shang Yang's right trouser pocket with the ring finger of her left hand, so that she felt safe.

Later, the two went to school and walked on the road in this pose.

For this reason, the teacher has found parents more than once and said: The school does not allow early love, even if there are baby parents, you have to pay attention to the influence.

Every time Aunt Wang is a bitter explanation: The two children have no early love, and there is no baby parent? One is in the first grade of primary school, and the other is in the fourth grade, how can it be early love? My Yutong has a hard life, and she has seen bad scenes since she was a child, and she was scared and timid, when I quarreled with her father, she went upstairs to find Xiao Yang, get used to it, you still have to understand...

Indeed, it has become a habit for so many years.

Shang Yang didn't care about their explanation, took two steps to the side, picked up the watermelon knife that was placed on the stall to cut watermelons, held it in his hand, and slowly walked towards the three of them.

Seeing this, the three of them were so frightened that their calves trembled, and their faces were more uncomfortable than those of the mourners.

"Brother Shang, Brother Shang, I really didn't dare to do anything, don't do it, if you have something to say, I was wrong, I was really wrong"

After speaking, he raised his hand and hurriedly began to fan his mouth on his face.

The person next to him also followed his example, opened the bow left and right, and did not forget to beg for mercy in his mouth, "Sister-in-law, tell me quickly, we really didn't dare to do anything, if Brother Shang really cut it for us... Much, much grievance"

"Brother Shang, we always pass by your fruit stall, we are also old neighbors, don't you know who we are?

Chen Yutong saw the appearance of the three of them, hooked the fingers of Shang Yang's trouser pocket and hooked them hard, and said delicately, "Otherwise, forget it, they didn't treat me well, it's not good to make a big fuss..."

It was the first time that the three of them heard Chen Yutong's voice, and their hearts stopped at the same time.

It's not a royal sister, it's not Lori, it's not as crisp as a lark, it's not as sweet as a coquettish woman.

But it's just nice to listen to, as if the beauty of women is integrated into the sound.

"Forget it?"

Shang Yang slowly raised the watermelon knife, and patted him on the face under the frightened gaze of the person in the middle, in fact, these people do know each other, don't look at dressing like a "promising" young man in society, in fact, they don't have much ability, they often pass by on this street, and once they also followed a girl, that girl was not as timid as Chen Yutong, standing on the road and scolding, and scolding the three of them and running away.

It would be strange to say that they dared to attack Chen Yutong.

The person on the left begged for mercy again: "Brother Shang... You see that Xiao Qi's nose is bleeding, so he let us go, there is no next time, there is absolutely no next time, if you meet your sister-in-law on the street again in the future, you will definitely hide far away... You take this thing down, it looks weird..."

Shang Yang glanced at the person on the right, it was indeed very affordable, and his nose was bleeding from his own fan.

The man in the middle was also so frightened that he was about to pee his pants.

took back the watermelon knife and said casually, "Okay, since Yutong intercedes for you, it's not that you can't let you go, how much money do you have in your pocket, take it out..."

Just look at the three of them suddenly began to rummage in their pants pockets, and the three of them took out two pink tickets and a few loose money.

"Look at you scoundrels..."

Shang Yang shook his head speechlessly, thinking that these guys had tattoos of thousands of yuan, and there must be at least four digits in their pockets, so he reached out and grabbed all the money, "Two hundred and seventy-seven yuan, I am a businessman, I can't do robbery, it's all fair trading, watermelons are eighty-one pounds a piece, you can buy one hundred and fifty-four pounds, I have about twenty-five pounds of watermelons here, take two per person, and grab a handful of melon seeds, no one will suffer, no one will take advantage..."

"Huh?"

The three of them were stunned.

"Ahh

Shang Yang had already picked up the watermelon and handed it over.

There were two of them, both hugging them in front of them, and their faces were longer than watermelons.

"..."

Shang Yang waved his hand, and the three of them turned around and glanced at each other, but before they left, their arms were already sore.

Chen Yutong saw them walking funny, quickly forgot the fear just now, and covered his mouth and laughed again.

Shang Yang shook her head slightly when she saw this, when she was a child, her parents often quarreled, and the shouting could be heard in the entire family building, and they often played together, and the little girl was sticky to her body, she was not disgusted, and she always treated her as a sister in her heart, but it was said that the two of them were a pair in the courtyard, and they didn't bother to explain it over time.

Chen Yutong is timid and small, and the sight of a mouse can make him have nightmares at night.

Shang Yang is bold, he has been the king of children since he was sensible, and he didn't put his mind on studying after going to school, he was the master of the world wherever he went, if he hadn't gone to the bar on impulse three years ago, he might not have graduated from college.

But that's okay, at least with him, no one dares to harass Chen Yutong, who has a female junior, next door.

Sit back in your chair and ask, "I went to school today to apply for the exam, where did I go?"

"Provincial Teacher"

Chen Yutong replied succinctly, and at the same time began to sort out the lunch box, and wanted to take out the meal, "Aunt Zhao's unit is working overtime, and I didn't have time to cook at night, so my mother asked me to send it to you..."

Selling fruit is not physical work, moving back and forth is manual work, eating too early and hungry at night.

At eleven o'clock, I closed the stall and went home to eat, and it was unhealthy to sleep.

It is delivered around eight o'clock every day.

Shang Yang's focus was obviously not on this, and he exaggeratedly said, "Are you a fool? I scored more than 600 points in the exam, although the provincial normal is the key, but after all, in the province, you have to go outside the province and go to the capital!"

After all, he is the one who got the high school diploma, and he still knows something, and the normal enrollment in the province can be entered in five hundred and sixty-seven, and she is full sixty points higher, it is a pity to go to the normal school.

The little girl just laughed and didn't speak.

She is often like this, she keeps silent when she encounters questions that she doesn't want to answer, others say that she is good-looking, beautiful, and beautiful, but Shang Yang feels like a fool.

Shang Yang was speechless and said, "This girl is really hopeless."

"Put away the meal, send a message to my mother, go back early tonight, there are just few people, take it and eat it when you go home..."

After he finished speaking, he stood up and began to clean up, all he had to do was put everything that was outside in and lock the roller shutter door.

After doing all this, the two of them embarked on the way home, which was still the way Chen Yutong had just come.

I wanted to talk about applying for the exam again, but she just didn't respond, and Shang Yang didn't bother to say it.

The path of the two figures is no longer as bleak and deserted as it was when it came.

There are stars in the sky, moonlight, street lamps, and weeping willows, but it is poetic.

Shang Yang walked ahead.

Chen Yutong followed beside him, pouting, his hands crossed in front of him and sulking, just now Shang Yang forcibly took her fingers out of his trouser pocket.

"No matter what you do, you can't hook my pants pocket with your hand from now on, little girl, you are an adult, you have to have enough scale with your brother, and besides, when you go to college, even if it's in a province, I can't manage you, it's okay in the county, who knows who I am in the province? You have to be strong, but well, I can't solve it... Then hold on!"

Chen Yutong looked at it dissatisfied, she was timid about everything, but since she was in elementary school, one thing that no one can change is that she has always called the boys around her by her name.

Now he is stubbornly muttering "Shang Yang" in his mouth
