Chapter 18: Arai
"Dad, have you figured out which one to study? Today, the teacher came to our house and said that the grades of the two babies were good, and there was no problem with the 985 at all. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Liu Yuhai took a puff of cigarette, and after a long time, he spit out the smoke ring in his mouth, "I thought, let's let Fengzi go to it, after all, he is in such a situation, read more books, it is possible to read and understand." ”
"What about Xiao Zhengzi, it's not me talking about you, you are just eccentric, Xiao Feng has a strange temper since he was a child, and he is always bullied by others, so you spoil him, but you can't ignore the other."
Liu Yuhai stood up suddenly, "This home is now up to you?" It's going to be blind all day long, this matter is settled, don't talk about it in the future, you go and persuade Zhengzi, just say that his second uncle got him a good job in the city and can make a lot of money, do you hear? ”
Liu Zheng came out of the back door, he heard all the conversation between his parents just now, walking and walking, his steps began to speed up, and finally he went crazy and began to run in the field, he hit those half-human tall wheat all the way, "Why, why, I have let him everywhere since I was a child, and everything is based on him first, but why at this fork in the road of life, I can't make my own choice, this is an opportunity that I have worked hard for more than ten years, why let me give it to him, I am unwilling, unwilling." ”
Liu Zheng finally couldn't run anymore, and before he knew it, he had run out of the village and came to a deserted wheat field, which was overgrown with weeds, and under the effect of the wind all year round, it was tilting in one direction. Liu Zheng cried and strode forward, he couldn't understand why his father was so ruthless, and he gave up the opportunity to go to school to his younger brother without even thinking about it. He knew that the family had a heavy burden, and his father had spoiled Liu Feng since he was a child, but he always had hope in his heart, because Liu Feng was not a particularly "normal" person after all, he was paranoid and withdrawn since he was a child, and when he was in junior high school, he began to abuse and kill small animals, especially small birds, and asked him why, he didn't say, his parents also took him to the town to see a doctor a few times and took a few medicines. However, the good times did not last long, and after a while, he began to repeat his old tricks again. Later, his parents simply ignored him, taking it as a vent for his high study pressure, but Liu Zheng knew in his heart that his disease was brought out of his mother's womb and could not be cured.
However, although Liu Feng is sick, his grades are not worse than Liu Zheng, and the people in the village say that the two brothers of the Liu family have good brains, and other people's children can't remember the books that they can't remember all night, they can remember it clearly after reading it, and even the punctuation marks will not be wrong.
His feet suddenly emptied, and Liu Zheng almost fell into an abandoned well, but fortunately he stopped his steps in time, but this time he was still startled, and squatted by the well and gasped for a long time. He looked at the well, it was as if it was filled with ink, it was terrifyingly black, and the mouth of the well was covered with messy weeds, and if you didn't look closely, you really wouldn't have noticed that there was a barren well here.
Liu Zheng looked at the mottled wellhead and pulled out a handful of wild grass, but the roots of those grasses were extremely deep, and he used all his strength to pull out only two or three of them. It seems that tomorrow I will have to come with that sickle and repair the side of this well, although there are not many people here, but it is not possible to guarantee that any child will run over, and it will not be good if it falls into the well.
"Fell into a well." Liu Zheng repeated these four words, a terrible thought flashed in his mind, this thought stunned himself, he stood up and looked at the deep well, and he couldn't remove that thought from his mind for a long time.
Early the next morning, Liu Zheng saw his mother packing up her things, "Mom, what are you doing?" He asked strangely.
"I see that Fengzi has not been in a good mood recently, and I want him to go to your uncle's house for a few days, so I should take a break, by the way, you can send him to the entrance of the village in a while."
"Did you say hello to my uncle?" Liu Zheng pretended to ask casually.
"No, just go over it, it's not the first time to go."
Liu Feng held a switchblade in his hand, and followed Liu Zheng out of the house with a flick.
"What are you doing with a knife at your uncle's house?"
"Self-defense," Liu Feng said as he slashed his blade all the way through the trees he passed, "those guys have been getting more and more rampant lately, and they are all uneasy and kind to me. ”
Liu Zheng glanced at him and didn't speak again, he knew who "those guys" were referring to, it was nothing more than the children in the neighborhood who grew up with them, they used to bully Liu Feng when he was young, but more than ten years have passed, but he still remembers it.
Liu Zheng walked straight towards the field, "Why don't you take the avenue?" Liu Feng asked him in the back.
"I don't ride again, this road is closer." He replied without looking back.
The wind blew his cheeks, blowing his eyes dry, Liu Zheng looked ahead, the wasteland was about to arrive, it was the same as yesterday and it seemed to be different, he seemed to be able to feel the heartbeat of this land, as if there was a monster that had been trapped for thousands of years under it.
"Why don't you leave?" Liu Feng didn't notice his abnormality, he bypassed him and strode towards the front.
"Xiao Feng," Liu Zheng's voice was frighteningly loud, "let's go the other way, this grass looks quite deep."
Liu Feng turned his head and glanced at him contemptuously, "If you want to go, you can go by yourself, but I am ......" His figure suddenly disappeared from the grass, and then, Liu Zheng heard a dull landing sound and a faint moan.
He reflexively ran towards the dry well, and grabbed the mouth of the well with both hands, "Xiaofeng, Xiaofeng? ”
After a long time, there was a low cry from the bottom of the well, "Brother, call someone to save me, my leg is ...... Hurt ......"
"Okay, you wait for me, I'll go find someone now." Liu Zheng's hands were clenched into fists, his nails pierced the flesh in his palms, he stood up and walked towards the village without looking back. The sun shone on his resolute face, shining with the tears that had fallen from it.
"Xiaofeng, why did you become like this?" Liu Yuhai pounced on the dying Liu Feng, he was so thin that he only had a handful of bones left, and he didn't even have the strength to lift a finger, only a pair of big eyes were still holding on and not closing, staring at the figure behind Liu Yuhai.
Liu Yuhai followed his gaze and looked back, and he saw Liu Zheng standing there upright, his face full of horror. Finally, Liu Feng closed his eyes in the crying of relatives and friends, but until he died, he couldn't say the words that he had shouted thousands of times in his heart.
