The early morning at the end of March was still a little cold, and on the swaying branches, the birds combed the dew between their wings, and looked at the clouds, and a wisp of gold bloomed from the clouds, pushing away the green and dark colors. The silent city gradually became lively, the children put on little yellow hats and carried heavy school bags on their backs, rubbed their confused eyes and were sent out of the house by their parents, and walked on the school bus; the old people carried the birdcage and walked on the park path with a smile, occasionally stopped, hung up the birdcage, and played a circle of Tai Chi on the spot; young men and women ate breakfast in their hands and walked to and fro the streets, hurriedly riding the bus, and the whole world came alive in this early morning busyness.

The birds flew through the golden morning light, and the dappled sunlight shone into the window lattice, and in a moment, a sound sounded.

Jingle Bell –

The mottled and rusty alarm clock was noisy, and suddenly a big hand next to it covered it, and the noisy sound came to an abrupt end. At the head of the bed, Xia Yi woke up from his sleep and yawned, and then slowly got out of bed, and in a piece of "Collect the rags!" "Two buns for one, two for five!" "...... Aunt Zhang, come to buy groceries!", went to wash, then put on an old dress to cover a few scars on his arm, casually took a piece of bread in the old refrigerator and put it in his mouth, and went out slowly.

"Xia Yi, morning!"

In the upper and lower corridors, the uncle and aunt who went to buy vegetables in the early morning met the twenty-year-old young man and said hello with a smile, and the old woman next to him pulled his wife, "What do you say hello, go quickly." ”

And Xia Yi on the other end still smiled at them politely, and walked out of the dilapidated unit building, which led directly to the street that was not very spacious, there was a light rain last night, the ground was a little dirty and muddy, and there were muddy sewage in a few potholes.

The crowd on the street is coming, the steamer is being unveiled in the fragrant breakfast shop, and the grocery store next to it says 'Yuyu Supermarket', a girl is lying on the counter, her chin is supported by her hands, her eyes are looking straight out, and she hears the familiar footsteps approaching, and the corners of her mouth are curled with a sweet smile.

"Brother Yi, are you going to work?" her eyes were colorless, staring at a certain place without blinking, she was blind.

"Yes, Xiao Yu, this is for you. ”

The young man named Xia Yi took out a beautiful bracelet from his somewhat white pocket and put it in Xiao Yu's hand, his white and delicate little hand gently rubbed the Wen Luo on it, his face was red, he smiled a pair of good-looking dimples, opened his mouth a little shyly, and said softly: "Thank you, Brother Yi......"

"Then I'll go, I'll come back to talk to you after work. Xia Yi smiled and waved his hand, ready to leave.

"Wait...... Wait a minute......" Xiao Yu softly called the figure who walked away, put down the bracelet, and panicked to dig out a plastic bag under the counter, held it in his hand and handed it over, her pretty face became redder, as thin as a mosquito: "....... This...... That's what I did this morning, Brother Yi...... You bring it with you...... You don't have to go hungry at noon. ”

Inside the plastic bag is a warm lunch box.

"Nonsense...... If you can't see it, you're not afraid of getting hot. Xia Yi looked at her reproachfully, hesitated, and still took the plastic bag, "Actually, there is food at noon in the martial arts hall." ”

"...... for six yuan" Xiao Yu's voice was very soft, her white face was flushed, and her fingers stirred the corners of her clothes, "...... You are usually too frugal, I know that Brother Yi must be reluctant to spend money, and ...... in the future Xiao Yu is ready, you come and get it. ”

Xia Yi looked at the lunch box in the plastic bag, shook his head, and suddenly reached out and gently pinched her face, "No, let your stepmother know, I have to beat you." ”

The pretty face over there suddenly turned red and was dripping blood, and it drooped even lower.

"Then I'll go first, or I'll be late. ”

The girl raised her head and wanted to say more, but Xia Yi's voice had drifted away. At this time, in the shop behind Xiao Yu, a woman about forty years old came out with something to sell and put it on the shelf, glanced at the girl's expression, snorted in her nose, and said to the house: "Some people's daughters seem to be unable to stay, they look handsome, but unfortunately they are blind." ”

"Early in the morning, who offended you. A man in his forties in the room, with sloppy beard and hair, walked out, "Xiao Yu can't see it, how can you say that to your face!"

Xiao Yu retracted her thoughts, turned around, and whispered in the direction of the two: "Dad, forget it, I can't see ...... in the first place."

"You're not just blind!"

The woman put a can of drink on the shelf, walked to the door of the store, looked outside, turned and pointed to the girl's chest, "...... and the heart is blinded. ”

Seeing that the woman was getting more and more excited, the man stopped in the middle, his voice became louder, and he pointed at the other party angrily, "This is my daughter, what are ......you talking about?"

"Why not?" the woman didn't look at her husband, and pointed to the place where Xia Yi had walked before, her eyes showing disdain.

“....... Do you know that guy has been in prison and has only been released for a short time, don't let your daughter be cheated, and help count the money. ”

"How can such a thing be. The man looked at Xiao Yu, who didn't speak, and muttered in his mouth.

"Auntie, how can you say that about others. ”

The girl hung her head and stirred the corners of her clothes, and her eyes were a little wet and red.

.........

For the discussion behind him, Xia Yi, who was rushing to work, couldn't know, saying that he was going to work, in fact, it was no different from doing miscellaneous, out of this street and a few more roads, there was a martial arts hall there, teaching some good people, and there were also some weak office workers, and the business was not very prosperous, and most of the facilities inside were old, and there was no money to replace them.

Xia also looked for many jobs, but they were rejected because he had no education and had been in prison, and he was able to find the current job and barely make ends meet in the city.

- Revitalization of the martial arts hall.

Walking into the door with a plaque hanging on the door, several disciples in the hall who were training nodded to Xia Yi, saying hello, it was morning, and the students generally did not come at this time, and his job was to clean the floor of the martial arts hall, martial arts training facilities, and toilets before the students came.

Today, the hall master and a few senior disciples did not appear, but they were all some of the junior disciples below the hall, who were dragging the floor, and occasionally they could be heard discussing something worriedly.

"I heard that there is a South Korean martial arts hall on the street next door, and I went to take a look yesterday, and the decoration is very magnificent. ”

"No wonder Master didn't come today, will they run to play on the field?"

"Master is a good man, he wouldn't do such a thing. ”

“....... Then the other party, will he come to kick our martial arts hall, his peers are enemies, and the temper of the senior brother is not very good, and he will definitely fight when the time comes. ”

“....... Speaking of senior brother, he seemed to confess to his senior sister a few days ago, but he was rejected, and it was on fire. ”

"Isn't that a good show...... I don't know who will be unlucky when the time comes. ”

"It's definitely not me!" one of them laughed, he looked at the young man mopping the floor over there, and shouted: "Hey!Xia Yi, you have to be careful lately, don't be troubled by the senior brother, he has been in a bad mood recently." ”

The mop stopped, Xia Yi straightened up, wiped the sweat on his head, and a smile appeared on his face, "How can it be...... You all know that I am weak and can't fight, so it is even more unlikely that my senior brother will find me to spar. ”

Xia Yi is actually not weak in his body, but he has been injured, resulting in damage to his internal organs, even if he is cured, he will leave sequelae, plus his appearance is white and sunny, the whole person looks like he feels weak, but he has always had a secret and has never told others.

"Alright, the floor is mopped, you can practice. ”

After mopping the last corner, Xia Yi carried a bucket and a mop to the utility room to clean up, and threw it back, the mop was accurately hung on the wall hook, this is his secret, as long as anything is held in his hand, there is an ability that is familiar to the use of an arm.

The door to the utility room was closed.

When he came out, several disciples in the hall had already begun to hit sandbags or slam wooden figures with their legs, and the sound of whirring was full of vitality for a while. Xia Yi has been cleaning in this martial arts hall for several months, and he heard that the hall teaches a fierce boxing technique, but he has never seen it.

Anyway, in this era of using guns, no matter how powerful martial arts are, they have not become physical fitness, or even reduced to performances. But this has nothing to do with him, let's live a good life for a while.

In the afternoon, when the west side was dyed red, Xia Yi cleaned up the hall and greeted the people inside, but received a phone call before he walked out of the street.

"I'm stuck in the sewers, I haven't eaten for a day, come and save me...... Feed...... Hey ......"

And then..... The signal was cut off.
