It is a thief who steals something, of course, this is true, but I want to tell you that the real thief borrows the momentum, determines the situation, and steals the hearts of the people.

I'm such a thief.

It all started when I was 16 years old, and just two days after the millennium bell rang, our village was hit by a mudslide.

When the rescue force arrived, I was the only one in the family of five who gasped, and I was dug out of the mud by my brother Bing, and the whole person was frightened and stupid, and I didn't speak for three days and three nights.

"It's gone, it's gone, grandma is gone, my parents are gone, my sister is gone•••••• it's gone" This is the first thing I said after I was saved, to Yan Lei, the soldier brother who saved me.

The people around me thought I was stunned and wanted to send me to a mental hospital in the city, but I was dissuaded by Yan Lei, who said that I was autistic for a short time, talk to me more, and I would get better slowly.

Two days later, I and several children in the same situation were sent to the county welfare home, where they temporarily took care of them, saying that they were contacting other relatives and that those who were willing to adopt would be picked up in a few days.

I stayed in the welfare home for more than half a month, during which Yan Lei came to see me almost every day, every time he was empty-handed, it was snacks and candy, and he told me about his affairs in the army, my spirit improved day by day, and I talked more.

You must know that the first line of his rescue is more than ten miles away from the welfare home, and it is more than 30 miles back and forth, and it has not been opened to traffic after the disaster, so he walks on his legs every day until the end of their unit's rescue mission.

At that time, I felt that Yan Lei was especially good to me, because of the special feelings of the rescuer for the rescued, and I later learned that there was another hidden secret.

On the day Yan Lei and his troops left, I hugged his waist and cried like a tearful man.

When my family has changed, I have regarded this benefactor as a relative.

He kept comforting me, saying that he would see me again in the future, and left me a photo and a military uniform when he left.

A few years later, I really reunited with Yan Lei, but neither of us expected that the photo he left me would later become his last photo in front of the mourning hall.

A few days after Yan Lei left, the children with me were all picked up by their relatives one after another, and I was the only one left.

My parents are both only seedlings, and my grandparents died early, so there are no serious relatives at home.

After repeated inquiries from the hospital, I finally remembered that there was a cousin in Yangcheng in the north.

When the hospital said that there was a pension of 80,000 yuan, she made a 360-degree turn and expressed her desire to leave immediately, and I could feel the wolf-like look in her eyes thousands of miles away.

At the urging of my aunt, I boarded the train to Yangcheng the next day.

I don't know what I thought at the time, but the government was going to give me a passbook, but I stubbornly had to exchange it for cash, and now that I think about it, maybe because I just lost a loved one, I want to desperately grab what I have.

The dean sent me to the platform and told me to take care of the schoolbag containing the money, but I lost the money the next day without accident.

Here I would like to mention another important person in my life, Xu Manfeng, who later became my master.

When I opened my bag, I found that it was empty except for a change of clothes, and my mind was blank.

At this time, Xu Manfeng appeared, he was wearing a top hat and a black windbreaker, dressed a little retro, the point was that he was holding the 80,000 yuan I lost in his hand.

He slapped the money on the simple table, sat down in the empty seat across from me, and said with a smile that I was not very old, and I was quite bold enough to dare to go on the road alone with so much cash.

Originally, I was a little vigilant, but after thinking about it, the money was recovered by others, what else could I want?

"How did you get it back? I put money in my schoolbag and asked curiously, 80,000 yuan was lost, and I didn't even dare to think about this kind of thing.

He smiled wryly and used a sentence from a martial arts novel, "Give back to the other in the way of the other."

I was surprised by this answer, and whispered to him, "Are you a thief too?" ”

Xu Manfeng replied that he was a thief.

I wondered and asked him what the difference was, and he said that a thief has no way and only has yellow and white things in his eyes, while a real thief borrows power and steals heart.

Although I didn't understand it too much, I had a vague feeling that he was a master.

After chatting for a few words, we saw four or five people hula hula rushing towards us, standing behind Xu Manfeng, led by a half-grown old man with a goatee, with gloomy eyes, and the others didn't look like good stubble.

The little man behind the goatee pointed at Xu Manfeng, "It's him!" ”

I have the impression of this person, I have been rubbing around in the morning, I see that he looks obscene, so I don't care, it seems that the person who stole my money is him.

I chuckled in my heart, this battle was obviously a small man who suffered a loss and brought someone to find the account. I held my schoolbag firmly in my arms, and was about to get up to find the police, Xu Manfeng, who was sitting opposite me, seemed to see through my motives, shook his head slightly, and signaled me not to move.

Seeing that he was calm and relaxed, not like he was pretending to be big, I also had more confidence, and sat with my heart in my heart and watched the development of the situation.

Shang Sheepbeard arched his hand and said, "Pai Qin, I just jumped on the board side by side, and the red goods were smashed by you The kiln?" (Friend, my brother has just entered the industry, and you took the money he received?) ）”

Xu Manfeng turned his head with a "huh", and also arched his hand towards the other party and said: "Pai Qin, how can the red goods be reduced by Tai Sui, Lao Rong digs out the pestle, empty." (Friend, the money belongs to this child, and all of it is stolen, and it doesn't pay attention to morality.) He pointed at me as he spoke.

The sheepbeard was stunned, and his face suddenly had a little more respect, and he gave a thumbs up: "Shoulder to shoulder Lao Hai, full of spring, I am a half-eyed, but is the wind word Wan'er?" (Brother is a reasonable old Jianghu, I don't know much, are you surnamed Ma?) ）”

Xu Manfeng nodded and did not speak.

The goatee's face changed, and he arched his hand again, saying that he was offended, and he beckoned to take a few people away.

The little man seemed to be very unwilling, staring at the schoolbag in my arms, grabbed the arm of the goatee and whispered, "Boss, is that really it?" ”

"Then what do you want, do you know that he is ••••••" Goatee's face sank, and he leaned closer to the little man and whispered something in his ear.

The little man's face turned pale suddenly, and he hurriedly pulled his goatee and left.

That's it? I thought I was going to fight, but I didn't expect the two of them to say a few words to the birds, and the matter was resolved, and after these people finished talking, they seemed to be quite afraid of this Xu Manfeng.

No matter what, it's always a good thing to have no danger, I took a long breath and asked Xu Manfeng, what did they just say, why didn't I understand a word?

Xu Manfeng told me that what they just said was the Spring Festival, that is, the jargon of the rivers and lakes, and explained to me the meaning again.

My curiosity came up again, and I asked him, didn't you say that your name was Xu Manfeng, why did Goatee ask you if your surname was Ma, and you still acquiesced.

Xu Manfeng stood up, took out a pack of cigarettes, and said seriously, "Bee Horse and Bird, sometimes 'horse' represents more than just a surname. After that, he went to the smoking area.

What does it mean to be a bee horse and a chaffinch? I pondered Xu Manfeng's words••••••

When he came back from smoking, I wanted to ask him several times, but he diverted the topic, and he told me many interesting stories, or novelty, or exciting, all so real, I was fascinated by it, and I forgot about it.

Unconsciously arrived at Yangcheng Railway Station, I was a little reluctant when I broke up, Lou Manfeng said the same thing as Yan Lei, "We will meet again!" ”

After saying that, he threw me a metal object, pinched the brim of his hat handsomely, and turned to leave, "You can keep this thing, you can use it." ”

I looked at his back and felt that this man, who looked less than forty, seemed to be hiding countless secrets.

What he left me was a silver ring, engraved with a galloping horse, which looked nothing special, but revealed a sense of historical vicissitudes, which should have been some years.

I put the ring on the index finger of my left hand, and by the way looked at the electronic watch on my wrist, it was already nine o'clock in the evening, but my cousin did not come to pick me up, at that time mobile phones were not popular, I found a phone booth, and dialed two calls to my cousin's landline, but no one answered.

With the lesson on the train, I was afraid that there would be another accident, so I gritted my teeth and took a taxi to the address given to me by Aunt Heaven the previous two days.

I don't know if my uncle's house is really far away from the train station, or the driver deliberately went around in circles, and when I arrived at the destination, I looked at the meter, more than 100 yuan, and I felt distressed.

The climate in the north is not as good as in my hometown, and February is still dry and cold, so I pulled out my suitcase and put on a sports jacket, which was a gift from my mother on my sixteenth birthday, and I have never been willing to wear it.

Seeing things and thinking about people, looking at the unfamiliar streets, my nose was sore, and tears flowed down my cheeks, unspeakably cold.

When I entered the tube building of my cousin's house and found the door number, I wiped my tears to adjust my mood and was about to knock on the door, when the same voice came from the room.

It's more about the sound of bodies colliding with bed boards.

Of course, I knew what was going on inside, so after thinking about it, I would better wait at the door.

I didn't expect to wait for more than half an hour, and the battle inside was still going on, and I thought to myself that my cousin was forty years old, and his health was really good.

After waiting for more than ten minutes, I finally lost my patience from hunger and cold, and was about to knock on the door again, when the door opened, and it was a fat man with a full face.

The fat man was stunned for a moment, then looked at me with a dark face and asked me who I was looking for.

I'm more than him, I saw my cousin when I was six years old, it's not like this, did I go to South Korea for plastic surgery? That's not right, how can anyone make plastic surgery ugly••••••

I was thinking about whether to answer the fat man's question when a woman in a wide dressing gown walked up to the door, shouting "Who, who?"

When she saw me carrying my schoolbag and luggage, she immediately explained with a smile on her face, "You're Kiko, right?" I'm your cousin, this is your Uncle Wang next door, here to make soy sauce, no, no, I'm ••••••here to chat. ”

"Yes, yes, I'm here to chat with Jin Lian." Wang Fatzi hurriedly echoed and helped me carry my luggage into the house.

Depend on! When I'm stupid, I talk to bed? Don't say that I've listened to the wall root at the door for a long time, even this lie is not smooth, you do push-ups and care about my.

I didn't react on my face except that I felt a little unworthy for my cousin, so I asked where my cousin had gone?

The aunt replied that Uncle Cousin had opened a stall on a nearby street corner to repair bicycles and provide locks, and he usually didn't come back until eleven o'clock.

Wang Fatzi saw the stitches, and after dropping the sentence "It will not affect our family reunion", he smeared oil on the soles of his feet.

I cursed in my heart, a family of bullshit.

This so-called cousin is named Ximen Jinlian, a second marriage, and a son half a year older than me.

It's also that Uncle Cousin's conditions are not good, and his appearance is generally laid off, but he has a bit of craftsmanship, and he can get by repairing a small object, or he won't have the second-hand goods of Ximen Jinlian.

My aunt washed apples for me to eat with a smile on her face, and I said that I was not hungry after eating on the train, so how could I not be hungry? I'm dirty, and she's not sincere.

Seeing that I didn't eat, she didn't be polite, grabbed one by herself, "squeaked" and gnawed, and asked me about the pension while gnawing, and she didn't hold back her fart at first glance.

I didn't bother to talk to her, saying that I would wait for my cousin to come back, and she wanted to say something more, when there was a "clanging" sound of pulling out the key outside the door. I thought it was my cousin who had come back early, so I got up and looked at the door.

The one who opened the door was a half-sized boy with a broom head, wearing a school uniform on his upper body, but wearing a pair of black leather pants underneath, and as soon as he entered the door, he shouted at the top of his voice, "Mom, Mom, look who I brought back for you!" ”
