My joke went too far, I hurriedly took the elevator to the first floor in one breath, Xia had already run out, the community was illuminated, but where Xia was hiding, she knew that I would come down, hidden, I stood on the only way in the community, a road to the end, no one, Xia escaped, I was unintentional, but I still pumped my mouth, I looked up at the moon, there was no trace of flawlessness in the circle, the moonlight was still as cool as a bone, no one turned on the lights at two o'clock in the morning, only me, standing barefoot on the road, looking for a panicked child。

I walked back and forth, and the security room said that no one went out, and Xia hid, and I must not be able to find it.

I got home, put on my shoes, and stood on the balcony again, I didn't know what to look at, just in a daze, I took out my mobile phone, called Xia's phone, no one answered, and after that, it turned off.

Xia's clothes were all in my house, and the next morning, I received a phone call, Xia was standing downstairs at my house, saying that she wanted to go to school, and begged me to throw her schoolbag down.

I walked into Xia's house, and in Xia's room, there was a book on the bedside table, with a dime, which should have been a bookmark found temporarily, and two large school bags, which were very heavy, and Xia was ready at any time, ready to leave.

Xia was standing downstairs, and I said, come on, I was a joke last night, no malice.

Xia said, yes, I know, I'm going to class, you throw down your schoolbag, please, I'm going to be late.

I said, it's really a joke, I'm just talking about every door.

Xia said, please, just throw it down, there's no time to go up.

Xia said that he felt that he would turn his head and leave, I hurriedly said, I will send it down, send it down.

Xia stood downstairs, she went back to the bar to ride, took the schoolbag and asked, "What about the other clothes?" ”

"I don't need that for school, so let's put it here. ”

"Whatever you want. Xia grabbed her schoolbag in a hurry and left, her attitude was very bad, I didn't know a joke would be like this.

In the evening, Natsu sat at the door of the bar and waited for me to open the door, and I said to Natsu, "You came so early." ”

"Well, it's early to get out of school. Xia was still chatting happily with me before, as if yesterday's events hadn't happened. I thought she was angry and said, "I'm sorry, I just wanted to tease you last night, I really didn't expect to scare you." ”

"It's okay, I know, someone called me last night, and I was in a hurry. Xia was still grinning.

I thought this was over, Xia was cleaning back and forth in the bar, tidying up, and closing, I wanted to go home with Xia, but when Xia was still settling accounts, he came over and said, "Brother, my work is done, let's go first." ”

Xia rode away, and when I ran out, Xia was no longer there, not in the cash room, not in the night hair salon on the street, where did Xia go, I thought that Xia was still chatting happily with me as usual when she was at work, this matter had long passed, but Xia didn't let her go.

In the evening, I came home and lay in bed, thinking to myself, Xia, where is she staying tonight? On such a hot day, the indoor temperature is 38 degrees, and the outdoor is not much better, I just took a shower, and when I came out, I was sweating again.

I dreamed, Xia and the old man who was lying on the street in cotton clothes a few days ago lived together, Xia pulled the cotton clothes for him, roaring hoarsely, I couldn't hear Xia's words clearly, Xia's voice shouted out, and then, Xia stabbed the old man to death with a knife, and then stabbed himself to death, saying "I'm dead, there is no good person in this world, who will take off your sweater for Da Xia." ”

Two corpses in the wild, I woke up sweaty, turned the air conditioner to the lowest, and covered a thick quilt to sleep, but I just couldn't sleep, there was no inexplicable depression today, I should have had a good sleep, but I just couldn't sleep, I was still very tired, not only tired, every cell in my body was tired, so tired that I couldn't close my eyelids, I couldn't open them, I was in a trance, I was in a fugue all the time.

The next day, I arrived at the bar early, Xia has not yet arrived, I sit on the steps and wait for her, the view here is so clear, the sunset is slowly falling, the sky is orange, layer by layer to golden, I walked to the roof again, sat on the brick, just about to indulge, a cry came hurriedly, it was the child a few days ago, he stood at the door of the bar crying looking for Xia, Xia has not come yet, I took the child's hand and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Dad beats mom and brother, sister, when will my sister come back. ”

"I'll go with you. I took the child's hand, and he pulled his hand out of my hand again, saying that he was looking for Natsu.

"I'm just my sister's good friend, I can go with you. ”

The child was still crying, walking in front of me, to lead the way, he was running so slowly, I picked him up, ran with him, and asked, "What's your name?" ”

The child was still crying, only tears, no crying, wiping tears in my arms. I walked to the children's house, the last time I came, it was night, I couldn't see clearly, this time it was the evening, the light was clear, messy, the yard was small, just a path to the house, the rest were sundries, and there was a smell of urine.

My brother squatted at the door, naked, motionless against the wall, saw my brother coming, stood up suddenly and protected my brother behind him, there was a wail in the house, the man's scolding words, unbearable, I kicked a few times, did not kick open, when I kicked the door open for the last time, the man stood at the door waiting for me, a whip on the door frame, and asked loudly, "Who the fuck are you?" ”

I haven't made a move yet, the whip in the man's hand smacked over, I subconsciously shot to block, a trace was left, after a while, it began to hurt hotly, I couldn't beat the man, I stood up and wanted to grab the whip, and was whipped again, the woman crawled over without clothes, and was whipped just as she was about to climb, and the writer who was squatting in the corner rushed in, lying on top of me, shouting "This is Xia Dong's friend, she will find you desperately when she goes crazy." ”

The man had beaten enough, felt angry, threw down the whip, and shouted at the woman, "Don't go out to earn money, give me money." ”

The man put a foot on the woman, I stood in front of the woman, this kick, kicked my lungs to shatter, I was very frustrated, took out the money, and said, "Don't fight, I'll give it to you." ”

The man took all my money, I reluctantly got up, picked up the clothes and threw them to the woman, my hands were hot and painful, and I picked up the child vigorously and asked him to go back to the bar and wait for the summer.

The writer still didn't leave, I dragged him out of the house, "Why do you want to give him money?"

I didn't know how to answer, I was here to help, but I didn't help anything, and I was injured, I held the child, bowed my head and asked Wenhao, "What's my brother's name?"

"Why did you give him money, he beat you, why didn't you beat him to death. The writer followed behind me, asked in a calm voice, still not angry or roaring.

"What's your name?" I asked my little brother in my arms.

"Wen Yu. ”

"Listen to the name. I said.

Wenhao followed me, Wenyu was held in my arms, but my arm hurt too much, and I put him down after walking for a while, I was wearing short sleeves, and I couldn't cover the traces of these two whips at all.

Xia saw us, Wenhao's naked upper body had already told Xia everything, Xia raised Wenhao's arm and said, "Your father is inhuman." ”

Wenhao didn't speak, and his younger brother walked over and took Xia's hand and said, "Mom." ”

The younger brother wanted to tell Xia that his father had beaten his mother, but Xia didn't listen, closed his eyes, frowned, and said with contempt on his face, "I know." ”

Xia walked into the house and gave Wenhao more than a dozen yuan, saying to buy some iodine and food. The writer was leaving, and Xia asked again, "I really don't go to school." ”

The writer turned his back and nodded.

"What are you going for?"

"Part-time job. ”

"Okay, let's mix it up, mix it up with your brother. ”

Wenhao didn't speak, and walked away with his younger brother in his arms, with blue and purple marks on his back. I was just about to walk into the house when Natsu asked me, "How did you get your arm?" ”

I didn't speak, and Natsu then asked, "You got into a fight with his dad." ”

I nodded, to be precise, I was beaten, but I must not tell Xia like that, Xia asked, "Did you beat his dad?"

"Nope. ”

"Well, if you beat him, the latter will beat these two children to death. ”
