This forest is so prosperous. I opened my eyes and looked around. The tree around me must have experienced too much spring and autumn to be so lush and rich. The wind was blowing, the leaves were swaying with the wind, and the sun was already shining on my face. It's warm, and it's a little dazzling because of the swaying of the leaves. I supported the ground with one hand and sat up. Looking at his naked body, his mind was thinking quickly: "What have I experienced, what about my clothes, why am I lying naked in this forest, how do I get home, where is my home, why I don't seem to know anything about myself." ”

"Hey, brother, is it performance art? in the forest? shouldn't it be in a bustling city? or is it taking a photo album? where is the photographer? can I go over? will it affect your photography?" Then I saw someone walking up not far away.

This man is not very tall. When he got closer, I could see his facial features clearly, not too heavy eyebrows, but his eyes were very bright and looked clear. I could read in his expression that he had no ill intentions, only a face full of curiosity. He looked around as if he was looking for something.

"I'm sorry, but I don't know why I'm in this forest, and I'm in this state. I didn't answer him until he was looking around.

"Huh, sleepwalking?" he asked me in a light tone.

"I don't know". I replied again.

He put down the bag he was carrying, took off his short body and put it around my waist, took out a kettle from the bag and handed it to me, and then continued: "Drink some water, I thought it was a company that was shooting a photo album, so you know where your home is, right?"

"I don't know, I don't seem to know anything about myself. I replied awkwardly.

"Ahh Let's go, I'll take you back to my house, at least, put on a set of clothes first. ”

He was welcoming and kind, I thought to myself. To others, I should be very confusing and weird right now.

"You can't remember your name like you do on TV, do you?" he asked me another question.

I replied to him: "I remember, my name is blank".

"What a special name, my name is Yan Yuanhao. As he spoke, he held out his hand, and I grabbed his hand, and with the help of his hard pull on me, I stood up.

"Let's go, when you get to the exit of the forest, you wait for me at the exit, and I'll drive the car over so that it will be easier for you to get in the car." He said without a trace, as if he was afraid that I would think I was causing him trouble. This man is really kind, I thought again. But still said, "Thank you".

When we came to his house, he handed me a set of his clothes and continued: "When you don't remember where your home is, if you have nowhere to go, you can live here, and I live here alone, so I won't add to my trouble." ”

I nodded, thanking me again.

He said: "Don't be so polite, I just think you have nowhere to go, and you have nothing, if no one helps you, survival is a problem, how to recover yourself." If you don't know what to do, you can go to my shop, I have a tavern with few customers and very leisurely. ”

This was the beginning of my acquaintance with Brother Hao. Later, I worked in that tavern for 5 years.

The day had just dimmed, and the hazy drizzle was coming, Hao walked into the tavern with an insulated lunch box, and Hao handed me the lunch box: "Here, the boss's love is a meal, the braised hairtail fish you like." I took my lunch box and walked out of the bar, found a vacant seat, and sat down. Hao also came over and sat across from me, staring at me and eating. I was a little embarrassed, so I reached out to Hao's mouth with the thorns removed from my hand. Hao opened his mouth, and I felt that this was a bit ambiguous, so I took my hand back again. Hao looked at me thoughtfully, and then said, "Why, a piece of hairtail fish is reluctant to give me food." I put the hairtail fish in my hand on the lid of the lunch box and pushed it to him: "Shede". Hao picked up the hairtail fish and put it in his mouth, staring at me with slanted eyes: "Stingy, I deliberately took the lunch box to the store you like to eat, and ran to the tavern to get it for you to eat." I stared at Hao and didn't know how to answer him, and after a few seconds of silence, I said, "I'm a stingy ghost, then you give it back to me." Hao had already gotten up and gone to the bar.

A little girl walked into the tavern, looking like she was 6 or 7 years old, and she walked up to me and said, "Brother, be careful, there seem to be bad people around you who want to kill you." ”

I looked at her and looked at Hao in confusion, and Hao also came over curiously. I asked her, "Do you know me?" The little girl shook her head, and I asked again, "Why do you say that there are bad people around me, and why does he harm me?" ”

The little girl shook her head and said, "I can't see him, I only see him killing you, but he has his back to me, I only see you fall and bleed a lot." ”

"Where did you see it, didn't the blank sit here properly, how could he die. Hao asked the little girl.

The little girl timidly said, "I have a talent, although it is not yet controllable, but I occasionally see the future of others." It's not complete, it's just a little picture, but when I saw this brother outside the window just now, I saw someone who looked like this brother and was killed. I'm sorry I can't see anything more. ”

Hao put his hand on my shoulder and looked around: "Don't be afraid, blank, I won't let you die." ”

The little girl shook her head: "Brother, I'm sorry, the future I see will happen, it has always been like this." ”

This is my fourth month in Hao's house, and that night, as I sat on the bed, Hao pushed the door in and handed me a cup of coffee: "Are you still thinking about what the little girl said?" I nodded, and Hao said, "Is there anyone worth your suspicion?" I shook my head. Hao patted me on the shoulder and told me firmly, "I will protect you." No matter how dangerous. "I was a little dumbfounded for a while, and I didn't know what to say. Hao had returned to his room.

That night, I had a dream, I was in a forest, it was early in the morning, this forest was very lush, the branches of the trees swayed gently with the breeze, which made me feel a little cool in my heart, I saw a path, so I walked along the road, and at the end of the road I could see a wooden house, I was about to walk over, and a voice came in my ear: "Blank, take me away." I looked around, but I couldn't find the source of the sound. Then it was inexplicably dark, and I saw that the wooden house was engulfed in flames, and then I saw my father running out of the wooden house with me, and I anxiously wanted to run into the wooden house to rescue my mother, but I found that how I ran, and the location of the wooden house has always been so far away. I've always been in the same place. I was expecting my dad to put down the hug and rush into the wooden house to save my mom. I looked at my dad and stared at him. He didn't move, he didn't go to save his mother. Then the fire disappeared in an instant, like the fire, never came. I couldn't stop crying, and I yelled at my dad, "I hate you, I hate you". I was shaken by Hao and woke up.

The tears were still in my eyelids, and my whole body was still in a cold sweat, I looked at Hao, and then hugged him and refused to speak. Tears flowed even more. Hao didn't speak, he stayed close to the head of the bed, bent over, hands behind my back. A moment later, as we sat on the couch, I told Hao about my mother's death and my father's cowardly behavior. This is the only memory I have of my past now. It's just that I don't understand why it's so real when it's a dream. I got up and went to the window and looked at the moon. Trying to recall the past, what comes to mind is that I was looking through my mother's book when I was a child, and there were very strange words in it. As I thought back to those words, the scene in front of me changed.

I saw someone with his back to me, and opposite him was my father, and this person, who had his back to me, took a knife and stabbed my father. I yelled at Dad to get out of the way. But my dad didn't hide, he just looked at me and said, "I'm sorry, I love your mother too." "I tried to run over, but the sky was full of stars. I think the stars are a little brighter tonight. Maybe it's this night, it's too dark.

I turned around and told Hao, "My dad is dead too." That little girl didn't see me, it was my father, and I looked too much like him. It seems to me that I have no relatives in this world. "I didn't cry, my father's death made me love and hate. I hate him, I hate him for not rescuing my mother at that time, I love him, I love him for raising me alone.

Hao walked over, put his hand on my shoulder again, and looked at me: "Blank, and me." From now on, I will be your relative."

When I woke up the next day, it was already afternoon, and I walked out of the room to find that Hao was not there. He must have gone to the tavern alone and didn't wake me up. I saw Hao's prepared food on the table, and I walked over, cold coffee, and two very ugly fried eggs that had been cold. This guy shouldn't be very good at cooking. I picked up my coffee and took a big sip and ate two fried eggs, which were a little salty with too much salt.

I didn't want to go to the tavern, so I sat on the couch with all kinds of food that Hao liked to eat, and I put them in a large paper bag and placed them on the table. Then I got up and went to Hao's house, and turned out the clothes he had changed out and had not yet washed, and when I was washing Hao's pajamas, I found a pendant in my pocket, which was very ugly, with a Hao character engraved on one side and nothing on the other. How can he, a big man, like this kind of thing. With this in mind, I went out and put it on the table in front of the couch.

I drank my coffee and sat on the couch waiting for Hao to come back. Maybe I'm just snuggling up on the couch, and I don't have much to do but wait for Hao. When Hao returned, I was already asleep on the couch. I felt eyes staring at me, and when I opened my eyes, I saw Hao sitting on the ground looking at me on the couch. Seeing that I was awake, Hao asked me, "Why don't you go back to your room to sleep." ”

"I'm waiting for you to come home. I blurted out.

Then, I felt that it was too sensible for one boy to say such a thing from one boy to another. I sat up and said, "It's okay to do, lie here and don't know when I'm asleep."

Hao picked up the pendant on the table and said, "You went to my room?"

I immediately explained: "There was nothing else to do, so I washed your clothes and found them in the pajama pocket, so put them here, sorry, I didn't rummage through your stuff." ”

As he listened to me, Hao took out a black buckskin rope from his pocket and put the pendant on. Hand it to me: "It's okay, I don't mean to blame you, this thing was meant to be given to you, it's a bit ugly, I engraved it last night".

I took the pendant and asked, "Give it to me?" Then why is it engraved with the word "Hao" instead of "blank"? ”

Hao patted my leg with his hand, and then said, "You are stupid, there is Hao on one side, there is nothing on the other, you are blank, what else can I engrave." ”

"Why did you give me this?" I asked him, playing with the pendant.

"I want you to remember all the time that you still have a family, it's me. Hao said as he got up from the floor where he was sitting, got up and refilled a cup of coffee and handed it to me, "Don't wash my clothes in the future, and don't clean up the house, I'll do it." This is your home from now on, you can do whatever you want, you're not the tavern guy I found, you're family. ”

"Actually, I just don't want to be too idle, and I don't want to go to the tavern, so I did it, and in the future, let's take turns. As I spoke, I put the pendant around my neck, thinking it was a little heavier than I had expected.
