Chapter 30: The Past (1/3)

The initial impression of the second leper should be described by the elders as a little ruffian with a particularly stubborn temperament, idleness, and trouble.

At that time, it was only the concept of a villain, and it wasn't until he often came to provoke their siblings that Xu Changge hated him deeply.

So much so that when he was a little older, Xu Changge couldn't wait to pick up a kitchen knife and confront him.

When he saw the second leper fleeing without hesitation, Xu Changge vaguely understood that this unpopular second leper had never been a villain, at most he could only be regarded as a scoundrel.

But because of this, Xu Changge became more and more disdainful and disgusted with the two lepers.

This negative impression lasted until he was twenty-five years old, that is, five years later.

At that time, Xu Changge won an important supporting role, which was the most critical period of his acting career.

What Xu Changge didn't know was that his sister Xu Ru's body also began to deteriorate gradually, and she was lonely and helpless.

Their aunt, Xu Ruoxi, still coveted their land compensation after forcibly occupying their demolished house.

She took advantage of Xu Changge's absence to come to the door with a few ruffians to threaten Xu Ru.

Originally, when the young and strong people in the village were there, Xu Ruoxi didn't dare to act like this no matter how bad he was.

But at that time, Watergate Village was close to demolition, and most of the villagers had already moved away, and only some lonely and weak old people were left.

Or it's an idler like the second leper who sells his house early and has nowhere to go.

In the face of the ruffians and hooligans, those old people are also more than capable of strength.

Either they were afraid of these ruffians and hooligans, or they were worried about causing trouble to their children, they just persuaded a few words, and when they saw that it didn't work, they gave up.

It's their family business...... They convince themselves on such grounds.

Only Xu Ru was left with a thin and sick body to face this situation.

At that time, no one thought that the second leper, a scoundrel who everyone hated in the past, would come out for Xu Ru.

"I don't care who you are, but don't make trouble on my turf! Get out of here!"

No one knew what was going on in the mind of the two lepers when they shouted such words in the face of several vicious hooligans.

But everyone could see the firmness and stubbornness in his eyes, like an old dog clinging to his own turf, with broken teeth, but still grinning.

Xu Changge can imagine that the scene was somewhat sad.

Where can the ruffians withstand such a provocation, they are mixed up, or they are playing two lepers together.

It wasn't until the two lepers were lying on the ground covered in blood that those ruffians knew they were scared and fled the scene in a hurry.

The villagers and Xu Ru hurriedly sent the second leper to the hospital, and the rescue was timely and did not die, but three ribs were broken and his left leg was also discounted.

Because he was not at ease during the recovery period, his left leg did not recover well, and the second leper became a second lame, but he still had no heart and lungs, and he had a hippie smile.

After Xu Changge learned about this after filming, when he went to see the second leper with a heavy gift, the second leper scratched his head and smiled like a fool.

Someone asked why the second leper wanted to be strong, and the second leper replied that this Shuitou Village is my territory, where can I tolerate others to be presumptuous!

He said this with great vigour, as if the hooligans had been beaten away by him, and not scared away by seeing him half-dead.

Later, fewer and fewer villagers stayed in Watergate Village, until one day, a large hook machine bulldozer drove to the entrance of the village.

The villagers moved to resettlement houses one after another, and even those who did not have houses looked for other places to live, leaving only the lonely two lepers.

Watergate Village no longer exists, and the place where the two lepers live is gone.

Later, it was said that the two lepers were seen wandering around for many days in the ruins that had been torn down.

No longer seeing the scene he was familiar with, and no longer hearing the helpless but affectionate scolding, he finally left.

Xu Changge later inquired about the news of the two lepers in many ways, but in the end there was no news.

It was as if he was born superfluous, and finally drowned in the vast sea of people, nowhere to be found.

But presumably not too well, a lame leg, a chest rib injury that can't do heavy work, and a lazy idler - Xu Changge can imagine how embarrassed he is.

Time has passed, and when I look back, the second leper, in the final analysis, is just a poor man who lost his parents in his early years and grew up eating hundreds of family meals.

Good guys, bad guys...... A lot of times, it's just what you think, what you think.

Who would have thought that the aunt who was supposed to be the closest would do such a vicious thing.

Who would have thought that the despised and idle leper would come to the rescue when he needed it most!

Xu Changge sighed lightly, sat down and continued to eat.

Xu Ru didn't understand why Xu Changge had such an exclamation, but she naturally knew the complexity of human nature since she was a child in society.

So for the second leper, her disgust was far less strong than Xu Changge at that time.

The two siblings were silent for a moment, and then quickly returned to normal and chatted hotly.

When they get together again, the two sisters and brothers always have too many endless words to talk about and endless days to talk about.

After dinner, the two moved chairs together and watched the Spring Festival Gala on a fourteen-inch, black-and-white TV.

Now there are naturally color TVs, but for the two sisters and brothers who live hard, it is an out-and-out luxury.

While watching and chatting, a small figure flew from the door.

Xu Changge subconsciously stretched out his hands and hugged this petite body in his arms.

"Brother, brother, brother, you're back!"

The crisp bell-like children's voice went straight into his ears, and Xu Changge felt that it was the most appropriate word to describe this little guy with the word joy.

He looked down, wasn't the little girl with big round eyes in his arms Ling Ling from the family next door?

The Ling family, who lived next door, was an outsider, and the old man of the family moved here forty or fifty years ago.

The Ling family and his wife are kind-hearted and honest, get along well with the villagers, and take a lot of care for Xu Ru and Xu Changge's sisters and brothers.

In other words, Xu Ru and Xu Changge were able to live without the help of the Ling family and his wife.

And Ling Ling, the only daughter of the Ling family, this little girl has liked to stick to Xu Changge since she was a child, and she is his little heel.

The Ling family couple even laughed and said that Ling Ling, this girl, will marry Xu Changge when she grows up, and look at her strength to be close to Xu Changge.

It's just that who would have thought that at this time, this little girl who was coquettish in his arms and closest to him would be strangers to him after more than ten years.

Xu Changge knew that this was this girl blaming herself for not being by her sister's side when she was most uncomfortable and helpless.

I hurried back even when I was bedridden, but it was too late.

Maybe at that time, in her heart, she was a ruthless, unrighteous, selfish villain......

And now...... Xu Changge pulled up her pigtails and smiled: "Little girl, do you miss your brother?"

"It's conceivable!" Ling Ling said coquettishly with her face in Xu Changge's arms.

"Well, that's good," Xu Changge nodded with satisfaction, "Then brother is okay to play a game with you?"

"Okay, good!" Ling Ling was a little impatient.

Xu Changge pinched Ling Ling's small nose and said, "Pinch your nose." ”

"It doesn't hurt at all. Ling Ling replied with a grin.

"Learn to bark. ”

"Wang"

Xu Changge couldn't help laughing.

Sure enough, it's still a cute girl when she was a child!
