Seeing this, Lu Xiaobai was moved by pity, and ran over to her and said, "Don't cry, don't cry, I'll help you!" With that, he spat in the palm of his hand, clasped the pole of the tree with both hands, and climbed up the tree with the agility of a monkey.

"Be careful!" The little girl held back her tears and threw her head back in worry.

Lu Xiaobai glanced at her, smiled at her, and said, "It's okay, when I was in my hometown, I often climbed trees to pick up bird eggs next to the bird's nest. ”

The little girl tilted her head and thought for a while, then asked, "Are you from the countryside?" ”

"Yes." Lu Xiaobai said bluntly.

I saw Lu Xiaobai stepping on the fork of the tree with both feet, grabbing the derived tree pole with one hand, and reaching into the dense branches and leaves with the other hand to get the kite. It turned out that the kite string was tied to the branch, no wonder the little girl couldn't pull it off. After he took the kite and threw it down, he saw that the little girl's somewhat "cold" face bloomed with a beautiful smile.

He descended to a height of about two meters above the ground, jumped and fell to the ground. The little girl exclaimed "ah", and when she saw that he was unscathed, she looked at him with gratitude and admiration and said, "You are so brave! ”

Lu Xiaobai smiled innocently: "This is nothing, I will also jump over the four-meter-high ridge." ”

"Aren't you afraid?" The little girl subconsciously picked at her palms, and a pair of clear mirror-like eyes looked directly at him, as if he was Superman.

Lu Xiaobai shook his head and said that he was not afraid, thinking that in my village, almost all boys of my age had done things like jumping down from a height, which was a normal thing for me, but you were shocked, you must have never seen that kind of vigorous sports scene!

He looked carefully at the little girl in front of him, and saw that her eyes were the most beautiful: the eyes were slender, the tails of the eyes were oblique upward, and the typical inner hook was upturned, which was very charming and moving.

The little girl asked, "Where do you live?" ”

Lu Xiaobai pointed in one direction: "That's it." ”

"Is it a 'happy community'? My family lives there as well. ”

Lu Xiaobai didn't know what the name of the place he lived in was at all, so he just nodded vaguely and tried to be perfunctory.

"Can I play with you later?"

The little girl was originally not very gregarious and hardly played with boys, but when she saw Lu Xiaobai take off the kite for herself, she was grateful, so she wanted to make him a friend.

"Nope! You can't find it," Lu Xiaobai remembered that Wang Xinggui had warned him not to contact strangers, and he was scared, "I'll look for you." ”

The little girl nodded: "It's okay." My name is Lin Ruoxi, what's your name? ”

"Lu Xiaobai."

Lin Ruoxi cautiously asked, "Can I be friends with you?" ”

"Of course!" Lu Xiaobai said excitedly, with a long-lost smile on his face, as if he had forgotten what he had suffered.

"I'm going back, can you come with me for a ride?" Lin Ruoxi said as she wrapped the thread around the spool.

"Absolutely!" Lu Xiaobai said happily.

The sky was full of white clouds, and a jet flew under the blue sky, spewing out a long "wake cloud"; The bright sunlight shrouded Lin Ruoxi's face, making her face look even more handsome.

As they walked along, sweat profusing from their foreheads, they walked for a while until they came to a halt in the shade of a tree. Lin Ruoxi put the kite on the ground, and suddenly took out a tissue from the beautiful skirt pocket to wipe Lu Xiaobai's sweat, he was slightly stunned, hurriedly took two steps back and said that he would wipe it, she greeted him, and stubbornly wanted to help him wipe it, he saw that he couldn't refuse, so he followed her. Then, she also pulled out a tissue to wipe her sweat.

Lu Xiaobai's heart rippled with warm ripples, in this strange city that made him sad, he was inadvertently favored by a girl who had never known him in his life, and he was never touched before.

He believes that there is still warmth in this world, he believes that trust between people is interdependent, and he believes that beautiful friendship is based on mutual trust; However, he also believes in the selfishness and greed of human nature, he also believes that some people do not hesitate to sell their personality and dignity for money, and he also believes that some people are fierce and cruel, basing their happiness on the suffering of others.

He inquired and learned that Lin Ruoxi was nine years old this year, the same year as himself, and he was a month younger; He sincerely likes Lin Ruoxi and her sincerity, beauty and kindness.

Lin Ruoxi told him, and the moment he volunteered to help her remove the kite from the tree, she suddenly remembered her brother who had unfortunately died. She said her brother, a firefighter, had been killed by a raging fire that had consumed his young life during a mission two years earlier, leaving behind his mother, wife and one-and-a-half-year-old son forever. When she tells this story, her face is intertwined with happiness and sorrow, which is clearly a high praise for her brother's heroic dedication like a torch, and infinite regret for the loss of life.

She added that her brother rushed to the scene of the fire to put out the fire is an act of selfless dedication, and Lu Xiaobai helping her get a kite is also an act of selfless dedication, and her brother and him are worthy of her respect, which is why she is willing to make a friend like Lu Xiaobai. She also said that she was willing to talk to him openly, wondering if he would like to?

Lu Xiaobai said happily that he was willing. She flatters him by comparing him to her heroic brother, but he feels that he is far from being able to compare to her brother!

Lin Ruoxi was very happy, and asked suddenly, "Do your parents work here?" ”

Lu Xiaobai shook his head.

Lin Ruoxi asked curiously: "Since your parents are not here, who do you live with?" ”

"I" Lu Xiaobai snorted, he didn't dare to say that he was with Wang Xinggui and Xiaohu, let alone tell him about his unfortunate experience of being forced to beg, he was afraid that after saying it, she would be surprised, spurned, and even refused to associate with him.

Lin Ruoxi frowned and said, "Do you have anything unspeakable?" ”

Lu Xiaobai was a little flustered: "Can you not ask this question?" ”

Lin Ruoxi was very curious, the more she looked at him so secretive, the more she wanted to know the truth: "Didn't we say just now, if you are a good friend, you should open your heart and don't hide anything." ”

This is a dilemma for Lu Xiaobai, tell the truth, she may blame herself for being in the same league with morally corrupt and shameless people; Don't say it, she'll think she doesn't trust her, and she'll be disappointed!

"Don't say it, it looks like you don't want to treat me as a friend." Lin Ruoxi saw that he didn't speak for a long time, and pouted her charming little mouth dissatisfied.

"My situation is very bad, you may be disappointed when you know it, even" Lu Xiaobai was a little anxious when she saw her angry appearance, but she didn't have the courage to continue.

"I'm not going to be angry, how can I be angry?" Lin Ruoxi was telling the truth, she thought that since they were all friends, no matter what misfortune the other party encountered, even if it was a bad thing, as long as it was involuntarily, she should understand and be tolerant.

Lu Xiaobai reluctantly said, "Okay, I said." ”

Lu Xiaobai stubbornly told himself how he was wronged and beaten by his cousin after living in his aunt's house, escaped because he was insulted and bullied, and how he was deceived by Wang Xinggui's rhetoric, and how he was forced to fabricate a tragic life story and deceive the story and tell the story.

Lin Ruoxi looked sympathetic and angry, she didn't expect that the friend in front of her would be so miserable, and the person who forced him to cheat would be so despicable and shameless!

"Then you run away! Why not run away? Lin Ruoxi was puzzled.

"Run? Where can you escape? Lu Xiaobai smiled bitterly, he looked up at the blue sky, and felt that the sky was so melancholy, just like his mood at this moment.

"You should always have mom and dad, right? Go back to your mom and dad and you won't be bullied! Lin Ruoxi said with great concern. She really couldn't understand why parents should leave their parents and suffer such sins alone, so they were the safe havens for their children.

Lu Xiaobai shook his head with a wry smile: "They don't know where to go, I can't find it." He said nothing about his father's murder or his mother's adultery, and he felt that such a family scandal would only make her very despised.

Lin Ruoxi sympathized with him more and more, a child without his parents to take care of him, the hardships of life can be imagined.
