Steel Slag Street, countless blocks with big red characters painted on the walls. An eleven or twelve-year-old girl, dragging her cheeks, was watching a group of old men play chess, and her eyes stayed on the supermodels definitely not as long as they did on the faces of the old men.

Lin Feng patted the little girl with a smile and said, "Little girl, do you have a house to rent?" ”

The little girl's eyes widened, she looked at Lin Feng for a long time and said, "I'll take you to have a look." Lin Feng was wearing a set of steamy and somewhat white camouflage faces, a pair of canvas sneakers, whether it was his walking posture or expression, it would make him feel that he was a standard migrant worker.

"You have to be quiet when you enter the door, my brother is not well, don't disturb his rest." The little girl took Lin Feng to a two-story house and whispered to Lin Feng.

"Okay, I'll listen to you, what's wrong with your brother's body?" Lin Feng touched the little girl's head and asked. The little girl slapped Lin Feng's big hand and said, "Don't touch people's heads at every turn, it's rude." I didn't know, I couldn't see before, but when I opened my eyes, I realized that my brother was missing a leg, and I heard that it was the bad guy who cut the knife. ”

"Oh."

"My sister-in-law said that no one should touch my head, it is disrespectful. Also, my brother's earth dog bites when he sees a living person, so stay away. The little girl said to Lin Feng like an adult.

"Oh." Lin Feng nodded like a child.

A young man under the age of thirty was sitting in a wheelchair basking in the sun with his eyes closed, he looked very thin, his hands were covered with bones, and his head was flat. There was a black earth dog squatting at his feet, the earth dog had several wounds on his body, and after seeing Lin Feng, he barked twice, put his head on the person basking in the sun, and then pounced on Lin Feng, threw Lin Feng to the ground, looked at it a few times, and retreated to the side with a low sigh.

The man opened his eyes, glanced at the earth dog, then looked up at Lin Feng, a trace of joy flashed in his eyes, and then he became calm again, and said after a long time: "Brother Feng, you are here, I haven't rented out your room, and now that you are here, I will let Xiaoling move out at night." After the man finished speaking, he closed his eyes, looking very decadent, with thin hands and skinny bones.

Time, a native of S City, his parents died young, leaving his brother and sister to believe in their lives, and now they live by collecting rent, Lin Feng is the best relationship among his tenants.

Lin Feng put down the army-green bag under his hand, touched his empty trouser tube, his eyes were slightly red and asked, "Time, what's wrong with your leg?" It's okay to let Xiaoling live, anyway, I don't live much, just sleep for a while once in a while, I'll just go buy a bed. ”

"Whatever you want, my leg is fine, don't ask, look at you and you're tired for a day, go rest, let Xiaoling call you when the meal is ready." Then he said to the little girl, "Xiaoling, go, take my brother to his room." ”

Shi Ling, the younger sister of Time, a cute girl with few words, seemed to be full of curiosity about everything, she looked at Lin Feng, touched the head of the earth dog and said, "Don't bite."

After that, she took Lin Feng to a small room on the second floor, which was about twenty square meters. It's quite clean, it's still the same as Lin Feng lived in two years ago, and there is a photo of actor Jason at the head of the bed. A cactus ball and a small pencil holder filled with pencils sit on the table, and a mouse looks like a few children's books in front of them.

Lin Feng picked up a book called "The Old Man and the Sea" from the table, and just as he was about to turn it, the little girl snatched it over, pouted and said to Lin Feng: "You can live, but you don't have to move the things here, my brother said, no one can move the things in this house, this is the book of the uncle who paid for the cure of his eyes." ”

After that, she glanced at Lin Feng a few more times, tilted her little head and asked, "Strange, the panther bites when it sees a living person, why didn't it bite you today?" ”

Lin Feng shook his head with a smile and asked Xiaoling after putting the book back: "Xiaoling, tell me, who cut your brother's leg, and when did you cut it?" ”

Lin Feng didn't answer Shi Ling's question, because the black panther was originally Lin Feng's dog, but it was handed over to Time after the accident.

"My sister-in-law said that she was beaten by bad people, and I don't know, the day I can see things, my brother is already like this." Xiaoling said while wiping the table, not at all like a primary school student, very sensible.

Lin Feng is not a sentimental person, I don't know why he felt sad in his heart when he looked at the little girl, his eyes were red, and he didn't look like an indifferent killer at all. He watched motionlessly as Shi Ling wiped the table and tidied up the room, the serious Taidu was many times more serious than the landlord of the partition room, and said to Lin Feng while working: "Brother, it's okay for you to live here, but you must not mess with things, this is the room of the uncle who let me see things." ”

When Lin Feng was chatting with Time, Shi Ling was busy playing with the black panther, not knowing that the big man in front of him was the one who let him see the sun.

Lin Feng handed the money to Shi Ling, who was busy, and said, "This is a year's rent, and you will give it to your brother in a while." ”

The little girl soon came back again, and she handed over a receipt and money to Lin Feng. Lin Feng looked at the receipt, and the child's immature font on it read: Charge three to pay one, 1,200 yuan. May 1.

Lin Feng didn't speak, put the money on the bed, put the bag under the bed, touched the big bear on the bed and went downstairs, and then he moved a chair to sit beside Time, touched the head of the earth dog and said, "Time, is it because of me that your leg is broken." ”

"Brother Feng, it has nothing to do with you, it's me who offended people. My sister has an eye disease, I, the eldest brother, have no ability and no money to operate on her, Xiaoling can see the sun today, all because of you. If it weren't for you, I would still be a computer repairman with less than three yuan a month, and Xiaohui would not be able to marry me, one less leg, even if it is worth it for you, it's nothing, it's just that I don't have anything to repay you. Time said, smiling faintly, looking too sick.

Two years ago, Shi Ben was a maintenance worker in an ordinary computer company, receiving a salary of less than 3,000 a month, relying on the house left by his parents to collect some rent, and treating his younger sister who had an eye disease in his early years.

In order to disguise his identity, he happened to live here, and after knowing what happened to Time, he gave Time a large sum of money, and helped Time change from a computer repairer to a network master.

Lin Feng looked at Time's legs and said very seriously: "Since I'm back, you tell me your legs, you should know what I'm doing now, I will make those people pay." ”

"I always thought you were just a computer master, a boy who likes to live in cheap houses, now I know, you are a bad and bottomless good person, the Internet is full of photos of you wanted, your current style, I'm afraid only the panther recognizes it. But in my heart, you are a good person, a brother of my time and life. Time said to Lin Feng that two years ago, Lin Feng always appeared as a successful person, and now he is dressed as a migrant worker, although he is not disgraced, but no one recognizes him.

Lin Feng lit a cigarette, took a puff, rubbed the bottom of his foot against the panther's back and said, "Seriously, don't be so sensational, I won't let you recognize it." ”

"Brother Feng, don't forget, in order to help me chase Xiaohui, you taught me to practice the eyes of a woman's soul for two weeks? You can make your nose bigger, your ears longer, and your eyes won't change, how could I not recognize them. ”

Time seemed to recall something, and smiled: "Since you want to ask, I will tell you, after I sent you to the airport that day, the next night, as soon as I finished eating with Xiaohui, four people came, and without saying a word, they took me to a warehouse and asked where you went, but I didn't say." Then they broke my legs, and I was so sick with pain that I didn't have time to remember what they looked like. But there's one I know.,I saw it when you took me to M8 to play.,I don't know the name.,I've heard a few other people call him a ghost brother.。 ”

Time looked far away, as if recalling something painful, and after a while, he said: "Brother Feng, I shouldn't charge you the rent, the money you left me is enough for my life." You know Xiaohui and she is a woman, so it's not good to know your identity. ”

"I won't be here for long, and if you're scared, I'll move somewhere else." Lin Feng flicked off the soot and owed a debt.

"What kind of are you talking about, if I am afraid, when I am beaten, I will tell you that I went to Egypt, Brother Feng, you came because you believed in me. You live, anyway, no one recognizes you in your current style, most of the people in this place have moved away, and the people who rent are also some living people, although they shout for demolition every day, but the price is not in place, naturally some people are not willing to move, they are not willing to move, and I will not move. Time said a little angrily.

"I just don't move, your health doesn't look good, have you gone to the hospital?" Lin Feng asked.

Time's wife cooks and interrupts their conversation.

At the meal, the black panther squatted at Lin Feng's feet. Very well-behaved, Time's wife Xiaohui looked at Lin Feng and asked Time, "Time, what's wrong with the Black Panther today?" I don't bite anymore when I see the living, and I still learn to be so well-behaved. ”

Xiaohui has a big belly, not pretty, but her voice is very gentle, not long after being with time, time had an accident, but this woman still hasn't left time, she is a rare good woman, she doesn't seem to recognize the person in front of her as the person who helped time chase her two years ago.

Time smiled at Lin Feng and did not answer Xiaohui's question.

After eating, Lin Feng used the excuse of helping Xiaohui wash the dishes and went to the kitchen. Xiaohui's face became a little ugly and said: "I know it's you, I can see it when time laughs, although you have helped us a lot, what do you do, I don't want to know, but I don't want time to take another life because of you." Xiaoling was here just now, I was embarrassed to ask you, and I was afraid that time would be unhappy. You can see that I have a baby now......"

Lin Feng put down the bowl and said with a long sigh: "Sister-in-law, I'm sorry, it's all my fault, I didn't know they would find here." Otherwise I wouldn't have come, I wouldn't have lived here, and you would have to move out. Time is so thin, what's wrong with him. What is the disease? ”

"There's nothing to be sorry for, I can see it, time doesn't hate you, although he doesn't say it, but I know that he misses you, and if it's okay, I'll flip through the photos of you going to play together, and he said that chasing me was also your idea. His days are numbered, I have a big belly, and I can't do my job. After he broke his leg, he was not in a good mood all the time, he worked hard to earn money day and night, saying that saving money to make me live a good life, and last month he was found to be brain cancer, and it cost more than 300,000 yuan for surgery. The money you left behind is enough, but he said that he would not do anything, saying that he would live a good life for the sake of the child in the future......" Xiaohui said, and couldn't help but shed tears.

Lin Feng washed the dishes silently and did not say a word. After snatching the cigarette from the mouth of Time before going out, he threw it on the ground and scolded: "I still smoke now, don't play with the computer these days, take a good rest." I know about you, don't tell me about such a big thing. It's still not a brother, the car is still not there, I'm going to use it at night. ”

Time took out a key from the drawer and said, "I found someone to rebuild it, Brother Feng, my illness is nothing, don't make trouble anymore, we can't afford to mess with those people." ”

"If you can't afford to provoke it, you have to provoke it, the son of a bitch raised it, and she will also attack you, and I will kill him." After speaking, Lin Feng walked towards the parking garage.

Time looked at Lin Feng's back, which was the unique stubbornness and stubbornness of soldiers, and Shi Shi, who liked the Water Margin, shook his head and scolded: "What kind of virtue Wu Song is, what kind of virtue are you."
