The atmosphere in the room was quiet, the instruments with flashing signal lights "ticked", and as dusk approached, the light of the setting sun became more and more orange-red, landing on the ground, moving inch by inch towards the bed. 【】

Xu Nong was still slowly telling about his past, while Li Baifeng sat on the chair next to the bed and listened silently. Although Huang Feihu and the others were not very interested in this, they surprisingly did not bother.

"Naturally, I don't have any money on me, so I just rush by, peek a few times, and secretly swallow a mouthful of saliva. As for buying a few to try, it can only be thought of. ”

Li Baifeng nodded while listening, and his expression was quite sympathetic.

From childhood to adulthood, what he ate was generally green lotus seeds, ambergris fruits, danzhu fruits and the like that grew in the secret realm of Xuanshan, and ordinary fruits were rarely tasted, which was a little embarrassing to say.

- Of course, he only thought about these words in his heart, and did not say them. Otherwise, it will inevitably irritate the patient in front of him who is not in good physical condition.

"Later, it happened that some film and television dramas will see clichΓ©s." Xu Nong's gaze moved into the distance, and the light of remembrance shone in his eyes.

"I passed by so many times, maybe my longing gaze was too strong, in short, I finally caught the attention of the fruit shop owner, so one day, she stopped me who was about to leave in a hurry again, and gently asked me if I wanted to eat."

Li Baifeng is young, and naturally has a keen sense of smell that young people generally have for this kind of gossip, and when he heard the word "gentle" that he can't easily use, a strong curiosity surged in his heart, and he subconsciously asked:

"Male or female?"

Suddenly interrupted by him like this, Xu Nong glanced at him helplessly, and said with a little dissatisfaction:

"Woman, what's wrong?"

"Nothing, I'll just ask." Li Baifeng showed a weird smile that "knows it in his heart", waved his hand and said.

Seeing this, Xu Nong couldn't help but sigh lightly, and explained even more helplessly: "I don't know where you want to go, people's ages are ......."

As he spoke, he couldn't help but pause, anyway, his life would not be long, what are you doing with this? Immediately, he laughed bitterly at himself, no longer explained, and continued to preach:

"At that time, because I had been bullied, I was full of vigilance about everything, and I could say that I was full of fear, even if it was the kindness of others, I didn't dare to accept it easily. Just as I was bowing my head and not speaking, an apple was handed to me. ”

To this day, Xu Nong still remembers that scene.

It was a pair of clean and white hands, a little rough because of years of labor, and the apples in the hands were huge and full, bright red as fire, and the sinking sunset reflected on them, pulling out a shadow obliquely. The surface of the apple glows faintly, and the oil is as bright as a pool of clear water.

He didn't know if the light was too dazzling, or the tears in his eyes blurred his vision, he didn't look at the woman's face carefully, but remembered that she had a warm smile on her face, the sun outlined her facial contours warm and soft, and a few strands of hair hung down on the side of her ears, faintly revealing a brown and yellow color in the light.

In the ward, Xu Nong silently raised his head, and the sunset outside the window reflected the light on his face.

A light as warm as that day.

A few days ago, the club won the field, and Xu Nong was knocked out of the ring by Li Baifeng, and then sent to the school hospital for treatment. During this time, Chongzhen came to visit the patient, and when they talked, the two mentioned what happened when they first met, Xu Nong took the initiative to challenge Chongzhen, but after being defeated, he was not ridiculed and humiliated, but was pointed out to the lack of action. Xu Nong once said:

"That was the first time I felt the kindness that the world had given me."

But this sentence lied to him.

What happened at the fruit shop that day was the first time he really felt kindness.

……

"And then?"

Li Baifeng didn't know what Xu Nong's mind was replaying, but he saw that he didn't speak with his face up, and there was a smile on the corner of his mouth that didn't know why, he was really a little confused.

Asked by him, Xu Nong came back to his senses from his memories and slowly shook his head and said:

"And then I refused."

"Huh? Why? Li Baifeng was slightly shocked.

"If you want to say why......"

Xu Nong muttered, and his eyes dimmed. He opened his mouth, "clicked" a large bite of the apple, and chewed it with the core.

After a moment, he swallowed and muttered, "What little bit of self-esteem is left? Or is it an inferiority complex that is ashamed of itself? ”

Li Baifeng raised his eyebrows slightly, feeling that this child was a little too sensitive, how could an apple matter involve self-esteem and inferiority?

To put it bluntly, this is the ass that determines the head, and where he is, it is difficult to understand what Xu Nong is thinking.

Seeing that I insisted on refusing, she did not force it, but put the apple back, and took out two more apples, which were obviously two circles smaller than the previous one, and the color was green, and it was obvious that they were not fully ripe."

As he spoke, Xu Nong raised the green apple in his hand, which had already eaten more than half of it, and said, for example: "It's about the same as this, well, it's a little smaller." ”

"That's what she told me: These two, because they are not fully ripe, they are not put out for sale, I was going to keep them for myself to eat, but I always feel a little sour, and I don't eat them much, if you don't dislike them, take them and eat them."

The gentle look of the woman when she said this sentence has been remembered by Xu Nong until now.

"And then, then."

"Although it is a little greener, it is not to the point where it cannot be sold, and she said that it is nothing more than a concern for my feelings. Although I was young at the time, I understood these things, and when it came to this extent, I naturally accepted it gratefully. ”

There is another sentence that Xu Nong did not say, that is, he was not just "grateful" at that time.

"With two apples in my arms, I felt like I had the whole world, and the joy in my heart was really hard to describe. I ran all the way back to the orphanage, and when I climbed through the courtyard wall, I happened to meet a small group of several older children, and they unfortunately found something hidden in my arms. ”

"At that time, I took the initiative to hand over an apple, hoping that they would let me go like this. After all, if you are bullied a lot, people will be cowardly, or should it be said that it is better to 'know the current affairs'? ”

Xu Nong chuckled, his tone was very calm, as if he didn't care anymore.

What happened when I was a child, when I grew up, it really looked like a cloud of smoke, even if I was sad at the beginning, it seems that I can let go, and the mistakes I made can also be explained by "ignorance".

But can the scars left by those things really disappear without a trace? (To be continued.) Mobile phone users, please browse and read, a better reading experience.
