The first time

"Kill him, kill him......"

The voices of the teenagers didn't attract much attention on the noisy docks, and in these turbulent times, murder and bloodshed were not uncommon, not to mention that it was just a small brawl between a group of boys.

People hurriedly got on and off the boat with a commonplace look, looking like they were in the afterglow of the setting sun, and no one paid attention to the steamed buns in the palms of the boys in the middle of the small chaos.

"Hey, you guys be careful, this is a foreign thing brought back by the inspector's wife, if something goes wrong, it's bearable!"

The tall and thin Governor of the Concession straightened the pistol on his waist, and while directing several of his patrolmen to carry boxes from the steamer docking, he shouted, but he didn't want his sleeves to be grabbed by a pair of small hands, "Uncle, you help that brother!"

The tall and thin inspector was impatient, looked down, and stopped the action he was about to wave and shake people, he squinted, such a little girl with pink makeup, with exquisite clothes and makeup, either rich or expensive, and couldn't afford to offend.

So he bent down with a smile and asked, "Don't worry, tell your uncle slowly if something happens, and your uncle will give you anger!"

The little girl was about six or seven years old, and she hurriedly pulled him to the other side of the dock, "Uncle, hurry up, that brother is about to be killed by them!"

The tall and thin inspector followed her line of sight to see the chaos by the river, and the young man who was silent in the center of the chaos and kept waving his fists, and said disapprovingly: "That poor boy doesn't care what he does, besides, he can fight, you see, so many people can't control him." ”

But he was only one man. The little girl's voice was low, and she raised her eyes to look at him again, and said hurriedly, "Uncle, you quickly let them stop fighting!"

"Good, good...... Hey, you little bunnies stop it......"

With the intervention of the patrol, the teenagers who were fighting on the dock dispersed in a hurry.

The boy in the center of the melee walked alone into a deep, dimly lit narrow alley, sat on the ground with his back against the wall, and closed his eyes heavily.

It's not that he suffered multiple injuries, in fact, in the fight just now, except for a few skin injuries on his body, he didn't let the other party take any advantage.

He just felt tired, and he was forced to fight for his livelihood one after another.

In the palm of his hand, he was holding a dirty steamed bun that had long been unable to distinguish the shape, but at the moment, he didn't want to eat it at all.

He remembered the bright courtyard of the past, of his father driving him up to his neck through the crowd, of the sound of the gunshot, of his mother's last tearful laughter.

"Child, go find your Uncle Feng, he and your father are lifelong friends, even if I haven't seen you for many years, but with him taking care of you, I have nothing to worry about. ”

Ten years of prosperity, overnight color change, see the world is cold.

He leaned his head heavily against the wall.

"Brother, your hands are bleeding. ”

A pair of warm little hands gently pulled up his hand, he instinctively withdrew suddenly, opened his eyes and looked at the little girl in front of him, he couldn't help but shake his head, it seemed that he was really tired, he didn't even notice that someone was approaching.

was about to walk away, but suddenly heard a boiling voice from the entrance of the alley in the distance - "That's right, I saw that little girl enter this alley with my own eyes, it was she who brought the people from the patrol room to save the kid, they must be all inside, this time all our people are here, but don't let any of them go-"

The little girl also heard it, jumped up, and dragged him urgently, "Brother, those bad guys are here again, you run away!"

He listened to the voices of people getting closer and closer, and then looked at the little girl in front of him, frowned, bent down and hugged her, "I'll hold you up and climb the wall." ”

The little girl nodded obediently, but she was also angry, and climbed the courtyard wall of the house in the alley with her hands and feet.

He jumped over the wall into the courtyard and stretched out his hand to the little girl who was still on the wall, "Jump!"

The little girl closed her eyes tightly, but she still bravely jumped off the courtyard wall, which was not too short for her.

He caught her firmly, and not long after he put her on the ground, he heard footsteps and human voices sounding outside the wall, "What about people, why don't you even see a ghost, shouldn't you run out, chase after it!"

He made a silent gesture to the little girl, pressed his ear to the wall, and listened to the footsteps fade away until they disappeared completely.

Like Fang Cai, she climbed over the wall again, and this time the little girl jumped off the wall without even a trace of fear, and her eyes were crooked with a smile.

He caught her, and she whispered in his ear, "Brother, can I speak now?"

"Whatever you want. He put her down, turned and walked away.

After his father's adjutant personally shot a bullet into his father's chest, after his mother arranged for the servants who escorted him to sweep away all the entangled baggage, after being ruthlessly ridiculed and driven away again and again, after doing all the dirty work in order to survive, and even fighting for a steamed bun, he was no longer willing to be involved with anyone too much.

There are too many people on the other side, and this little girl is involved because of him after all, he can't ignore her.

But now that those bastards are gone, he doesn't want to mess with her anymore.

But he didn't expect the little girl behind him to stick up like kraft candy again, and while trotting to follow him, he reached out and pulled his sleeve, "Brother, brother, you go slowly, wait for me......"

He couldn't bear to pull his hand hard, maybe because his strength was too great, or because this little girl who looked like a little princess was also as delicate as a princess, and she stumbled and fell to the ground with an unstable center of gravity.

He watched her snow-white clothes stained by the sewage on the ground, and stopped for a moment.

The little girl looked at him motionlessly, and after a while, she suddenly laughed, "I know, my brother's hand is injured, it must be too painful, I'll help you Huhu." ”

As she spoke, she got up from the ground by herself, took his hand again, looked for a long time in the small bag she was carrying, took out a white silk handkerchief, and blew on the wound on his hand while taking the handkerchief to bandage it layer by layer, "This is how Mother Wu helped me wrap it up when I broke my knee, and it will be fine in a few days." ”

This time, although the boy frowned, he didn't push her away again.

She wrapped it up in a mess, but she smiled crookedly, let you push me, and let you know how much it hurts.

After tossing his hand, he raised his head with a smile, but saw that in the dim light of the deep alley, the young man was silent and lonely, and his lonely posture seemed to be isolated from the world.

She remembered the black shapeless steamed bun that he hurriedly stuffed into his pocket before carrying herself to the wall, slowly stopped smiling, pursed her lips, and silently lowered her head to rummage in her small bag, and found a small round ball wrapped in silver paper and stuffed it into the young man's hand, "Brother, you eat chocolate, it's delicious." ”

He was about to hand it back, but was interrupted by a car horn, and the little girl looked up with him, and suddenly her eyes lit up, and she ran to the car parked at the entrance of the alley with joy.

A teenager in white got out of the car, and the little girl jumped into his arms with a smile.

"Brother Ji Huan, why did you come here?"

The young man in white gave her a haircut and smiled, "Like a little stray cat, dirty to death, you don't know that Uncle Sheng is looking for you and is about to look for you, why don't you get in the car and go back with me." ”

"Yes. She smiled sweetly, but suddenly thought of the young man who was still in the alley, "Brother Ji Huan, you wait for me, I met a new friend today, you wait for me to say goodbye to him." ”

When I turned around, I found that the deep alley was empty.

"Huh, what about people?"

She didn't give up looking for the alley, and didn't take two steps, but was pulled by the young man beside her, "It's already gone." ”

"But ......"

Ji Huan glanced lightly at the shadow behind the dead tree in the alley, and then turned to look at the little girl in front of him, "Xiaosheng, get in the car, I still have to go to French class, it's too late to find you." ”

His tone was just plain, but it had already made the little girl willingly give up all her unwillingness, nodded obediently, and got into the car with him.

"Isn't this the car of the Ji Mansion?"

"Who was the little girl just now? Isn't the Ji family without a daughter?"

"Cough, then it goes without saying, it must be Miss Sheng's family, the relationship between the Ji Sheng family is not a day or two. ”

"But how could someone of their stature come to such a place?"

"It seems that I heard that Miss Sheng was lost when she went to the department store, and Mr. Sheng was so anxious that he was so anxious that he was even alarmed by the patrol room, why did he come here, cough, if I find out first, I can still get a bounty......"

Amid the gossip of the crowd of onlookers, behind the dead trees in the deep alley, the young man silently untied the messy silk handkerchief on his hand.

The snow-white handkerchief, which had been stained with blood and mud on his hands, was about to throw it away, but for some reason, he put the handkerchief and the chocolate into his arms.

Perhaps, just because it was the first and only kindness and warmth he had encountered in such a long time.

He closed his eyes and silently recited in his heart the two small characters embroidered on the lower right corner of the veil - Yizheng.
