One Sunday afternoon, Lu Xiaobai came back from playing outside, and as soon as he opened the door of his aunt's house, he saw his math teacher and two young policemen in uniform sitting in the room, and he couldn't help but wonder: What are they doing at his aunt's house?

Lu Xiaobai didn't see her aunt, she only saw her cousin Wu Hongyan.

When Wu Hongyan saw Lu Xiaobai, she said to the police: "He's here." ”

A policeman grabbed Lu Xiaobai and ordered him: "Follow us to the police station!" ”

"What are you doing at the police station?" Lu Xiaobai was puzzled.

Wu Hongyan sneered twice and said, "Are you really confused or fake?" Don't you know what good things you've done? ”

Lu Xiaobai was confused and said, "What good things have I done?" ”

The policeman who arrested him corrected: "It's not a good thing, it's a bad thing!" ”

Lu Xiaobai was taken aback, thinking that he hadn't done anything bad, could the police have made a mistake?

When he came to the police station, Lu Xiaobai saw Ran Jie and several of his classmates, all of whom were looking depressed and were being interrogated by the police; He also saw Feng Tianyu, who was squatting in the corner of the wall, bowing his head in contemplation.

As soon as Feng Tianyu saw Lu Xiaobai, he couldn't wait to ask, "What the hell is going on?" They said that the two of us were involved in blackmailing other classmates, which made me a second monk confused! ”

Lu Xiaobai replied timidly: "I don't understand what's going on. ”

He deliberately lied, in fact, when he saw Dye Jie and them, he immediately understood why he was caught by the police and taken to the police station. Although he was not directly involved in the blackmail of that classmate, he illegally participated in the distribution of benefits, and he did not know if he was an accomplice with them. However, he had a hint of luck, thinking that the police would reprimand him at most, and he would not be locked up.

In fact, they were arrested not because of that case, but because of the victim of another case. This morning, they blackmailed a classmate from another class, who told his father, who was so angry that he took him to the police station to report the crime, and in this way, Dye Jie and his accomplices were taken to the police station. Under the severe interrogation of the police, there was a criminal who was timid and confessed the cases he had done before, and confessed that the mastermind of these cases was Ran Jie. The police were very surprised and ordered Dye Jie to explain the situation honestly. Dye Jie confessed truthfully. He hated Feng Tianyu and Lu Xiaobai for opposing him everywhere, and hoped that the police would also arrest them, so he lied that they were also involved in the crime.

After a while, Lu Xiaobai saw that the classmate who had been blackmailed by Dye Jie and two other classmates walked in from outside, and he came with his mother.

After the police asked him to identify Ran Jie and his accomplices, they asked the classmate, "Did these two people participate in the blackmail against you?" He said referring to Feng Tianyu and Lu Xiaobai respectively.

The classmate said, "No. ”

The policeman asked again: "Don't be afraid, if they really participate in blackmailing you, speak up and the police will call the shots for you." ”

The student said with great certainty: "Not really." ”

When Lu Xiaobai heard this, he hurriedly said: "Uncle policeman, they wronged me and Feng Tianyu, don't listen to them, they once blackmailed me, when Feng Tianyu passed by and saw it, he reprimanded them, it must be that they have a grudge against me and Feng Tianyu, so they framed us." ”

The policeman turned around and asked Ran Jie sternly, "Is what he said true?" ”

Ran Jie glanced at Lu Xiaobai, and then turned his gaze to Feng Tianyu, only to see Feng Tianyu staring at him coldly, his heart couldn't help but tremble, and he didn't speak.

"You're dumb!" The police snapped.

Dye Jie whispered, "It's true." ”

The policeman pointed at Ran Jie and his accomplices, and Yan said, "It's bold to call your parents over and do illegal things at such a young age!" Then he said to Lu Xiaobai and Feng Tianyu, "It's nothing to do with the two of you, go back." ”

Later, I don't know what the reason was, Dye Jie dropped out of school, and the two other classmates who had been in the same league with him also transferred to another school.

Lu Xiaobai had a false alarm, and on the way, he talked to Feng Tianyu about this matter, and he looked very angry. Feng Tianyu still had a good mentality, and comforted Xiaobai and said that Dye Jie and they had already been taught a lesson, so there was no need to be angry.

Lu Xiaobai came to the door of his aunt's house, knocked lightly, and Wu Hongyan opened the door. When he entered the house, he saw his aunt in the bedroom applying makeup in front of the mirror.

When Yang Zhifang saw Lu Xiaobai, she asked in surprise: "Wasn't you arrested by the police, why did you come back so soon?" ”

Lu Xiaobai said angrily: "That matter has nothing to do with me at all. Then he went into his bedroom, slammed the door shut, and plunged into the quilt, his heart in a mess, like a ball of straw. He felt that time was passing slowly, so slow that it drove him mad, and he wished that he would grow up overnight, so that he could be self-reliant and get rid of the difficult situation of relying on others.

In class that morning, the Chinese teacher asked Lu Xiaobai to stand up and answer a question and answer a question, and Lu Xiaobai stood up with a dazed expression.

The teacher pushed his glasses and asked sternly, "Student Lu, won't you answer?" ”

Lu Xiaobai nodded nervously.

"If you desert in class and don't listen to the teacher, how can you answer!" The teacher shook his head, "Sit down." ”

Lu Xiaobai did often desert in class, because he was always indulging in all kinds of hardships he had suffered in the past, and he was thinking about some messy things in his mind. Not only that, but he was also reticent and reluctant to communicate with other classmates.

After school, the Chinese teacher visited Lu Xiaobai's home. As soon as Yang Zhifang heard that Lu Xiaobai's academic performance was not satisfactory and he was in a trance in class, she added fuel and vinegar to the teacher and told the teacher how disobedient this child was, and said that he was useless and incorrigible.

The teacher noticed a detail she said, that is, Lu Xiaobai ran away from home and encountered begging and was almost taken from the kidney, he felt that it might be this incident that cast a shadow on the child's heart, which led the child to be in a trance in class and not pay attention to the teacher's lecture, so he asked Yang Zhifang to pay attention to the way of communication and tone with the child, not to reprimand the child at every turn, and also asked her to give the child more emotional care.

Yang Zhifang agreed on the surface, but she didn't think so in her heart, she wanted her to provide psychological counseling to the son of a woman who had an ambiguous relationship with her husband, she didn't have this measure.

At dinner in the evening, Yang Zhifang said to Lu Xiaobai with a calm face: "The teacher came to do a home visit today, saying that your grades are a mess, what did you do?" My face has been disgraced by you, do you mean that you can't get along with me! ”

Don't think she's really ashamed, in fact, she just wants to use the topic to vent the resentment in her heart.

Lu Xiaobai stopped the action of picking up rice and whispered, "I didn't." ”

"None? You lie to you! Then let me ask you, your mother said that your academic performance has always been the first in the class when you are at home, so why is your academic performance not good after coming to my house? ”

"I don't want to read." Lu Xiaobai said what he really thought in his heart.

"Okay, then you won't have to go to school from tomorrow!" Yang Zhifang looked gloating.

"Okay." Lu Xiaobai put the bowl down, got into the bedroom and fell on the bed, tears of humiliation flowed down.

The next day he really didn't go to class, and fell asleep on his bed. Seeing this, Yang Zhifang had a satisfied smile on her face.

After class, Feng Tianyu went to find Lu Xiaobai, and he asked Lu Xiaobai's classmates in Lu Xiaobai's class before he saw Lu Xiaobai, and the classmates said that he didn't come to class. Feng Tianyu was not at ease, and after school, Tong Guò and Lu Xiaobai were neighbors, and a classmate found Lu Xiaobai's residential address.

After Feng Tianyu pushed open the door of Yang Zhifang's house, he saw Lu Xiaobai alone at home, and the TV screen in the living room was beating with messy entertainment and festival pictures.

"Xiaobai, why don't you go to class?"

"Brother Tianyu, I don't want to study anymore."

"Why?" Feng Tianyu looked at him in surprise and found that there was a faint sadness in his eyes.

"I don't think it's interesting to read."

Why do you think that? What's interesting? ”

"Nothing is interesting." Lu Xiaobai was disheartened.

Feng Tianyu immediately realized the strictness of the matter, Xiaobai's mentality was exactly the same as when he was in his hometown, he was confused and didn't want to make progress, and if he continued like this, he was afraid that he would end up harming himself.

"Xiaobai, let's go out and play?" Feng Tianyu wanted to enlighten him while accompanying him to relax.

"Okay." Lu Xiaobai turned off the TV and walked out with Feng Tianyu.

They walked towards an antique bridge. There are a lot of passers-by coming and going on the bridge, and it is very lively. After Lu Xiaobai and Feng Tianyu came to the bridge, they leaned on the rusty iron railing, watched the water ripple under the bridge, watched the trees on both sides of the bank reflected in the dark green water, and watched small fish jump out of the water from time to time.

Feng Tianyu asked with concern: "Xiaobai, I don't see that you have a smile on your face, have you suffered any grievances?" ”

"Aunt treats me badly, I don't want to live in my aunt's house anymore, but I have nowhere to go, Brother Tianyu, what do you think I should do?" Lu Xiaobai picked up a stone and threw it into the river, only to hear the sound of "bang", and the river stirred up a circle of ripples.

"What did she do to you?"

Lu Xiaobai said all kinds of bad things about his aunt with anger, and after finishing speaking, he seemed to feel a little better in his heart.

Feng Tianyu said angrily: "It's too much to have this kind of aunt in the world!" ”

"I want her to get hit by a car when she goes out!" Lu Xiaobai looked at the river that was as gloomy as his mood and said fiercely.

Feng Tianyu thought for a while and said, "Xiaobai, go to my house tonight to stay, tell my mother about your don't want to study, and see what she says." ”

When Lu Xiaobai heard that he could go to his eldest brother's house to stay, he was very happy, so he readily agreed to him.

They descended the stone bridge steps, crossed a crowded traffic light intersection, and walked to a bus stop to wait for the bus.

After a while, I saw an old man in tattered clothes walking into the crowd with an old enamel cup, and begging for money from the people waiting for the bus in a low voice. When he walked in front of Lu Xiaobai, Lu Xiaobai suddenly slapped his enamel cup to the ground and shouted: "Get out!" ”

The old beggar was startled, muttered a few words, and then picked up a few crumpled coins and smashed enamel cups and walked away.

People have turned their attention to Lu Xiaobai, and some have condemned his immoral behavior.

"Little child, it's very wrong for you to do this, you should apologize to the old man!"

"Didn't your teacher teach you to respect the old and love the young?"

Lu Xiaobai saw that everyone's spearheads were pointing at him, and he felt uncomfortable, so he walked away quickly.

"Xiaobai, what's wrong with you? Why can't you get along with a person who asks for food! Feng Tianyu chased after him, with obvious rebuke in his tone.

Lu Xiaobai's love was still very excited, and he said loudly: "Beggars are not good things, they all deserve to die!" ”

Feng Tianyu heard him say that he was accused of begging by a beggar and was almost taken out of his kidney, he suddenly understood why he treated this beggar so roughly, although he thought that Xiaobai's statement was biased, but he understood his sad and angry feelings, so he didn't blame him anymore, but comforted him with kind words.

When Lu Xiaobai followed Feng Tianyu to his house, he saw Mei Zhifang bringing the fried vegetables to the table.

Mei Zhifang politely greeted Lu Xiaobai for dinner. Lu Xiaobai had heard Feng Tianyu say that she was an upright, kind and reasonable woman, and when she saw her so hospitable, she had a good impression of her.

Feng Tianyu told Mei Zhifang about Lu Xiaobai's idea that he didn't want to continue studying. Mei Zhifang was surprised when she heard this, and asked Lu Xiaobai why she had such thoughts.

Lu Xiaobai glanced at Feng Tianyu with a blaming gaze, and said in his heart that you are really a dog biting a mouse and meddling! He reluctantly told Mei Zhifang that he didn't want to study because his aunt treated him badly, and he didn't want to live at his aunt's house.

He said it very abstractly, Mei Zhifang was skeptical, but she didn't ask carefully. She thinks that maybe the child's mind is still immature, the understanding is too superficial, and the strict discipline is treated as mean, so that there is a misunderstanding.

Mei Zhifang had heard her son say that Lu Xiaobai was accused by a beggar and almost had his kidney taken, and she was full of sympathy for Lu Xiaobai's tragic experience, but she didn't know why his parents sent him to someone else's home for foster care, and what kind of work did his parents do to alienate the care of their children? So I asked him cautiously.

Lu Xiaobai was afraid that Mei Zhifang would look at him differently after knowing that his family was ugly, so he lied that his parents were not in S City and went out to work.

Mei Zhifang secretly blamed his parents for neglecting their children's education and care for only making money! She is not the child's guardian, there is no good way to resolve the child's knot, she can only persuade him to listen to his aunt and not give up his studies.

Lu Xiaobai didn't speak on the surface, but he didn't think so in his heart, he estimated that Mei Zhifang didn't understand his difficult situation, but he also felt that there was no need to tell her about his situation, he didn't trust her.

In fact, since the serious changes in his family, he has experienced all kinds of experiences, so that he no longer believes in anyone, even his sworn brother Feng Tianyu, he does not fully believe it.
