CHAPTER IX

Walking on the street from childhood to adulthood, Zhang Shaoyu felt for the first time that everything here suddenly became unfamiliar. The plane trees on the side of the street swayed in the wind, making a rustling sound, and the morning sun was still scorching at this time, and the sky gradually darkened, and a large dark cloud pressed overhead, and people were breathless.

"Oh, it's going to rain. Zhang Shaoyu muttered.

He didn't know where he was going, so he could only drag his suitcase and walk aimlessly down the street. Pedestrians on the street are hurrying home, seeing that it is about to rain, and going home is the only place to go.

But Zhang Shaoyu can't go back, he has no home, and he can't go back from the moment he steps out of the house. Recalling all the things that have happened these days, Zhang Shaoyu smiled. Yes, I laughed, I didn't cry. Laughing so helplessly, so desolate.

A drop of cold rain fell right on the tip of his nose, and Zhang Shaoyu stretched out his hand and gently wiped it off. But I accidentally touched another thing, with a little warmth, slid down my face, and finally flowed into my mouth, it was so bitter. Zhang Shaoyu was a little flustered, he told himself, I can't cry, hurriedly wiped away his tears, and he quickened his pace.

The rain became heavier and heavier, and between heaven and earth, a boundless curtain of water was hung, and the heavy rain fell from the sky like beads with broken threads, and the whole world was shrouded in a mist, and there was only the sound of rain in my ears, oh, yes, and, the sound of heartbreak. Inadvertently, he walked to the park square again, a few days ago, it was here that he met Zhao Jing, but he didn't expect that because of her, he would make himself like this.

Although he had not walked far, he was already feeling too tired, his steps were getting heavier and heavier, and the pouring rain soaked his thin shirt, but he did not seem to feel it at all, and put the box aside and sat down on a bench in the park. The square that used to be bustling was full of activity, but at this time there was no one else except a few vendors who were scrambling to pack up their things.

Zhang Shaoyu stretched out his hands and wiped the rain from his face, and leaned weakly on the back of the chair.

The heavy rain was still falling relentlessly, and his vision was gradually blurred, Zhang Shaoyu was already a little numb, looking into the distance blankly. Now that I have come out of my home, I can't go back to school.

But from the county seat to Chengdu, the fare of more than 50 yuan, he took out the wallet from his bag and looked at it, there were only two pieces of 10 yuan, one for 5 yuan, and a few yuan in change, which added up to less than 30 yuan, and even the fare was not enough. What should I do? I suddenly remembered that my bank card seemed to be in my suitcase, and I didn't know if there was any money in it. Grab the box and leave.

The people in the shops on the street all looked at the young man on the street strangely, with a cold face, his head held high, his whole body soaked, dragging a suitcase, walking briskly. This young man really likes to be different. Suddenly, a silver sedan sped by, and people's hearts tightened, that young man was dangerous!

The car flashed by, and people were relieved that the young man had not been hit, but the muddy water that splashed up covered his body. People were thinking that this young man should be scolding. But he just turned his head to look at the car that had gone away, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, revealing a strange smile. Reaching out and wiping the rain from his face, he continued on his way.

When he came to an industrial and commercial bank, Zhang Shaoyu walked straight inside, and the security guard looked at him like this, and stood up habitually, but after a closer look, although he looked embarrassed, he was still gentle, not like a robber.

"Miss, please help me check how much balance is in it. Zhang Shaoyu stood in front of the service desk and whispered. The bank lady didn't raise her head, and said calmly: "Check the bank card at the ATM outside." ”

"I'm going to close my account, miss, and I'm sorry for you. ”

The waitress raised her head and was startled, there was nothing wrong with this young man, he was soaking wet, his hair was still dripping, and his face was covered with smudges. Muttered softly and reached for the bank card.

"Do you want to close your account for ten dollars?" asked the waitress. Zhang Shaoyu sighed softly and nodded helplessly. In order to take out ten yuan and don't even want a card, I have seen a lot on weekdays, and the service lady didn't ask too much, completed the formalities, asked Zhang Shaoyu to sign, took out ten yuan and handed it to him.

Zhang Shaoyu's move can be described as a ruin, bank cards are the only way for his parents to remit tuition and living expenses to him, and the closure of the account means that his parents will no longer be able to remit money to him in the future, and everything has to rely on himself. But he didn't hesitate at all, took the ten yuan and walked outside, tearing the ten yuan to pieces little by little and throwing it in the trash can at the door.

"Hey, it's illegal to damage the yuan!" the security guard at the door frowned and said loudly. Zhang Shaoyu looked up at him and sneered: "Then you can arrest me." The security guard was speechless for a while, not knowing what to say, but Zhang Shaoyu had already left.

Out of the bank, Zhang Shaoyu hung up a phone call to Li Dan: "Li Dan, I'm Shaoyu, send me a hundred yuan to the station, yes, don't ask so much, I'll talk about it when I come." ”

Because of the rain, there were many passengers stranded in the station, and Zhang Shaoyu dragged the box to the station, ignored the strange eyes of others, and found a place to sit down.

At the station, Zhang Shaoyu has been here many times, and every time he has his family to see him off, teach him earnestly, keep admonishing him, and say warm words with endless expectations and entrustment. At that time, Zhang Shaoyu would only feel that the elders were too wordy, but now, the situation is completely different. Rushing to the field alone, the future is uncertain, what will be tomorrow, Zhang Shaoyu himself doesn't know, he only knows that now, everything has to rely on himself.

Li Dan came, he passed by Zhang Shaoyu several times, but he didn't find him, and in the end, it was Zhang Shaoyu who called him, and he recognized him.

"Shaoyu, ...... you" Li Dan's fair and handsome face was full of stunned expressions, he really couldn't imagine that the cynical and empty-eyed Shaoyu would look like this. The first reaction in his heart was that something must have happened to Shaoyu.

"Did you get the money?" Zhang Shaoyu stood up from his seat and asked softly. Li Dan sighed, took out a hundred yuan from his pocket and handed it to Zhang Shaoyu.

"Thank you, brother, I'll pay you back in Chengdu. Zhang Shaoyu didn't have any expression on his face, Li Dan tried to see something from his expression, but he failed.

"Shaoyu, what's going on. Li Dan finally couldn't help but ask. Zhang Shaoyu didn't answer, turned his head to look at the electronic display board hanging on the wall, and said, "I'm leaving, let's talk about it later." With that, he dragged the box and walked towards the ticket gate.

Li Dan stood there in a daze, at a loss, what happened to Shaoyu? It was still good in the morning, I thought that he would have an affair with that spicy girl, and I originally wanted to torture and torture him the next time I saw him, but it was only a few hours apart, why did he seem to be a different person? There were still three days before he left school, why was he in a hurry to rush to school?

When Li Dan came back to his senses, Zhang Shaoyu had already bought a ticket and walked to the platform outside, and when he passed by, Zhang Shaoyu said lightly: "Let's go." ”

Looking at Zhang Shaoyu's back, Li Dan suddenly remembered something and hurriedly chased after him.

"Shaoyu, wait. Li Dan stopped Zhang Shaoyu and looked at him, this brother who had been with him for almost six years. His personality Li Dan understands, if he doesn't want to say it, it's useless for you to force it. Looking at him like this, things are not trivial. ruthlessly, he took out another hundred dollars from the other pocket.

"This money was supposed to be used to open the house tonight, but ...... Take it. Li Dan smiled reluctantly.

Zhang Shaoyu looked at the old man's head that was rubbed and wrinkled, and finally felt a little warm in his heart, fortunately, there are these brothers.

The car started, and the familiar scenes rushed backwards. Zhang Shaoyu looked at the city where he grew up through the car window, and his heart was full of emotion. The disco on the fifth floor of the Taihe Hotel, the return Internet café on the red brick road, the medicinal rice noodles at the entrance of the market, and the park square, passing through the places where the memories of his youth are placed, Zhang Shaoyu silently read in his heart: "Farewell, hometown ......"
