Chapter 14: Sworn Brothers
After Lu Xiaobai knew that Feng Tianyu was an orphan, he felt more cordial to him, and there was a sense of pity for the gathering of similar things. Although Lu Xiaobai is not an orphan, his parents have no news and don't care about him, he feels like a weed in the wild that is self-sustaining, how different is it from an orphan? He thought that although Feng Tianyu's parents were deceased, but with God's favor, he was lucky to meet a good family, and the "family" was so happy that it was enviable.
Although Lu Xiaobai also received the love and pity of his uncle, his uncle was running around for business, so he naturally had no time to take care of him; As for Lu Xiaobai's aunt, since his uncle left, she has started to be mean to him again. He really couldn't understand why his aunt hated him so much, and he didn't offend his aunt. Is it just because I eat and live in her house that it burdens her life?
There is no such thing as hatred for no reason, and the questions that have been bothering him are soon answered.
On this day, after dinner, he went to bed early. When he woke up, it was past eleven o'clock in the evening, and he went to the bathroom to relieve himself. After the small relief, I was about to go back to the bedroom to continue sleeping, but when I passed the door of my aunt's sleeping room, I suddenly heard the sound of my aunt and her daughter talking inside.
"Your father went to Guangzhou to do the medicinal herb business, and he might go to Xiaobai's mother, you damn father!"
"Mom, have Dad and Aunt really been together?"
"I don't know, but they've had a crush on each other, and if I hadn't caught it in time, I don't know if they would have done something deviant."
"What would you do if Dad did something sorry for you for her?"
"What to do? Hmph, I don't know what to do because she liked your father, so I hated it when I saw Xiaobai, if it wasn't for your father's insistence on taking him in, I wouldn't care if he lived or died! β
"Aunt is so hateful"
Lu Xiaobai didn't continue to listen, after listening to their conversation, he already regretted it, why did all the disgraceful things happen to his own family?
He had always thought that his mother was a good mother of good character, and he was proud of her, but he did not expect that she had committed adultery with someone else, and that she had made a mess with her uncle, which was really difficult for him to accept; He thought, it turns out that my uncle is kind to him because he likes my mother, it's disgusting, I don't need my uncle's care!
He felt that his mother was hypocritical, and tried to show a decent appearance in front of him, but in fact his private life was in chaos; He still remembered his mother's admonition to be a respectable person, not to be a despised, and now that he thought about it, he felt that what his mother said was a great irony! Since the people closest to you can't believe it, then outsiders can't believe it! Later, if someone tells you that you are smart, then he may laugh at you for being stupid. If someone tells you that you are so handsome, then he may be thinking in his heart why you are so ugly, he thinks that he has matured overnight, how naΓ―ve and ridiculous his former self was, and he believes everything others say, and even takes some words as a creed of doing things.
Recalling all the insults, bullying and suffering he suffered, he felt that he was really useless, it was because he was weak and incompetent before, he was bullied by others, if he continued to be weak, he would be bullied by others, fate is in his own hands, he can't go down like this, he should make his heart stronger, dare to fight with others, and break out of a bloody road. However, when he thought about how he could make himself stronger, he was helpless.
He tossed and turned, thinking about this question over and over again, and was so dizzy that he fell asleep so late that he woke up late the next day, was late for school, and the teacher punished him for cleaning the toilet for a week.
When Ran Jie saw Lu Xiaobai sweeping the toilet with his back bent, he pinched his nose pretending to be pretentious, and said gloatingly: "Yo, the smell of the toilet smells good, right?" β
Lu Xiaobai straightened his waist and said, "Don't laugh at me, okay?" β
"I don't like you, so I have to laugh at you!" Ran Jie stood beside him and peed, then turned around and peed on Lu Xiaobai's thigh.
Lu Xiaobai hurriedly jumped away, feeling the hot and humid urine dripping down his legs, and he angrily asked, "Why are you peeing on me!" β
Dye Jie smiled hesitantly and put on a very provocative pose: "If you kind of you're going to hit me!" Come on, come on! β
How could Lu Xiaobai stand such an insult, I saw him raise the broom in his hand angrily, regardless of the three-seven-twenty-one towards Dye Jie, only to hear the sound of "pop", the broom hit Dye Jie's shoulder firmly, he stumbled and almost fell. Maybe Xiaobai moved too fast, and he didn't have time to dodge at all; Maybe Ran Jie didn't expect him to have the guts to move, in short, Ran Jie was stunned for a moment after being attacked.
After beating Dye Jie, Lu Xiaobai's heart was pounding, knowing that he was in a big disaster, and the other party would definitely not let him go! But then I thought again, since the beams are all settled, there is no way to retreat, instead of showing weakness to the other party, it is better to fight to the end!
Ran Jie grinned in pain, his eyes seemed to erupt with angry flames, and he pointed at Lu Xiaobai and said loudly: "You dare to hit me!" I'm going to have to skin you today! After that, he stepped forward and saw Lu Xiaobai raising his broom again, looking like he wanted to attack, and he retreated.
Lu Xiaobai's hands kept trembling, but he said, "Don't think I'm a bad seed, make me anxious and break your head!" β
Although Ran Jie was annoyed and angry, he couldn't do anything about him: "You are a freshman who has just arrived, who borrowed your courage to dare to say such a thing?" I don't know how you died! β
Lu Xiaobai sneered: "I just don't know how you died, what's so great about you?" He paused and said, "As long as you dare to move a finger of me, I will sue Feng Tianyu, and he will fix you!" β
"Feng Tianyu will repair me? Why should he help you? Dye Jie looked surprised.
"Why? By virtue of the fact that I have become brothers with him, this is it! Lu Xiaobai was in a hurry, thinking that lying would not break the law, so he would bluff him first.
"Oh, it turns out that you have found a backer, no wonder you dare to do it to me." Obviously, Dye Jie's raging momentum has been somewhat restrained.
Lu Xiaobai saw his worried expression, so he hurriedly said: "You don't leave yet, Feng Tianyu will come after a while, see if he can't clean you up." β
Dye Jie suffered Feng Tianyu's loss, thinking that he loves to fight and be uneven, and he is a person who can't be provoked, if he really bumps into him, maybe he will be beaten again, it is better to leave as soon as possible, so as not to suffer from the pain of flesh and skin, but he can't leave without saying a word and walking away, so that Lu Xiaobai will become more and more proud, at least he must show that I am not afraid of Feng Tianyu, so I can give myself a step down, so he cleared his throat and said: "Boy, don't be complacent, if I wasn't in a hurry to go back to cook and wait for my mother, I would have waited here." , see if Feng Tianyu ate me? With that, he turned around and walked away.
Now Lu Xiaobai was happy, thinking to himself, Feng Tianyu is really a character, and he will bluff Dye Jie with one sentence! After a while, he thought that Feng Tianyu was righteous and had two advantages to swearing with him as a brother: first, he had a good face, and second, he would not be bullied at school. The more he thought about it, the more excited he became, and decided to try his best to marry Feng Tianyu as a brother.
After he finished cleaning the toilet, he ran all the way to Feng Tianyu's house.
Feng Tianyu heard Lu Xiaobai say that he wanted to worship him as a brother, and felt very fresh and fun, so he said happily: "This is great!" It's just that I don't understand, why do you want to be a brother with me? β
"Your parents have passed away, my parents don't care about me, we are all poor children, I and you are brothers, I want to comfort each other and encourage each other." Lu Xiaobai had already thought of what he said, he couldn't show a strong sense of purpose, otherwise, Feng Tianyu might think that he was using him.
Feng Tianyu had heard Lu Xiaobai say that he was fostered at his aunt's house, but he didn't know anything about the changes in his family, and he didn't ask him; Hearing Xiaobai's explanation, he felt that it was reasonable.
Since it is a bow, it is a big event, and a ceremony should be held, and the atmosphere should be solemn, and things should not be hasty. But how does the ritual work? They studied for half a day and still didn't get results. In the end, Feng Tianyu suddenly thought that his late adoptive father had a statue of Guan Gong, and it was most appropriate for him to "witness" the worship. He hurriedly turned it out of a wooden box with a layer of ash on the surface, and saw that the statue of Guan Gong carved out of wood was painted black and shining with paint; It is about 60 centimeters high, caressing the beard in the right hand, and holding the Qinglong Yanyue Knife in the left hand.
Feng Tianyu's adoptive father had a bright and upright life, and he made a lot of friends during his lifetime, and the person he admired most in his life was Guan Yu. He once told Feng Tianyu that Guan Yu was mighty and brave, attached importance to feelings, and emphasized righteousness, and people admired him because of his affection. Therefore, on the black lacquered wooden square table in the main house of the home, this statue of Guan Gong is enshrined all year round. After Feng Tianyu's adoptive father died violently half a year ago, Mei Zhifang hid the statue of Guan Gong at the bottom of the box and never took it out again.
They didn't know how to drink, so they decided to use water instead of wine. They each carried half a bowl of water and stood in front of the statue of Guan Gong and solemnly bowed. Feng Tianyu Mainland Xiaobai is three years old, naturally he is the eldest brother, and Xiaobai is the younger brother, and they all declare that they want to "share the blessings and difficulties." β
Lu Xiaobai was extremely excited, looked at Feng Tianyu with a smile and said, "Brother Tianyu! β
Feng Tianyu also looked at Lu Xiaobai with a smile and said, "Brother Xiaobai." β
Then the two laughed and hugged hard.
The matter of swearing with Feng Tianyu, Lu Xiaobai thinks it is very meaningful, if he takes the big hat of swearing to show off to Dye Jie and a few of his classmates, they will definitely be impressed by themselves, and they will definitely not dare to mess with themselves in the future! So, he deliberately called Feng Tianyu up, found Ran Jie and a few of his friends, and said to them bluntly: "Feng Tianyu is now my eldest brother, we have already worshiped 'Master Guan', Brother Tianyu, you tell them quickly What I said is true!" β
"What Xiaobai said is true, we are doing the knot worship ceremony at my house."
Ran Jie and his best friend classmates looked surprised, and Ran Jie even smiled and said to Feng Tianyu: "Don't worry, I will be good to Lu Xiaobai, I promise you that I will never bully him again in the future." He also thought that Lu Xiaobai had told Feng Tianyu about the fact that he peed in the toilet that day, and Feng Tianyu asked about the guilt.
"That's the best, if anyone bullies my brother, I won't let him go." Feng Tianyu hated Dye Jie, so he was not polite at all when he spoke to him.
Indeed, Lu Xiaobai had Feng Tianyu's umbrella on his head, and Dye Jie and his friends really didn't dare to bully him, and they were polite to him, which made Lu Xiaobai more and more arrogant.
