In 1991, dandelions floated past a yard where pomegranate trees blossomed and their branches extended to the adjacent yard, and the two families shared a wall.

There was a little boy named Qiao Ping in the yard of the house with a pomegranate tree.

There is a little boy named Chen An in the yard of the house without a pomegranate tree.

Butterflies would always visit two yards, and the two yards were almost identical, and then the wall collapsed, and the two yards became one, and the two families shared a yard.

The vines of the loofah climbed the wire on which the clothes were dried, a rusty pressurized well sang its old voice, the stack of wood and grass was covered with green loofahs, and a piece of black bacon had hung by the door since the beginning of his memory.

Chen An often secretly moved a stool to step on the stool enough to pomegranate, and every time it was a little bit closer.

At that time, the two children climbed together, walked together, ran together, and walked together every day.

In 1996, the two children went to kindergarten, they left adults for the first time, Chen An always cried his nose, Qiao Ping taught him like an adult and gave him his own pomegranate to eat, Chen An ate Qiao Ping will also eat more than half, that year they were only five years old, what an innocent age.

They were classmates when they were in elementary school, friends when they were in middle school, brothers when they were in high school, and couples when they were in college.

When he was in elementary school, he called him brother, he called him brother, and he always protected him. Until they all grew up, Chen An could pick pomegranates without stepping on a stool, but at that time he didn't like to eat pomegranates very much.

Why do they love each other?

In 2012, two sparrows hugged each other in the rain, just when many people were spreading rumors of the end of the world, the two of them also ushered in their own end of the world, Qiao Ping cried darkly when he saw Chen An, Qiao Ping, who drank too much at the roadside stall, told Chen An the truth, he had uremia.

…… …… …… ……

Chen An drank the last sip of wine, spat out a mouthful of saliva fiercely, and helped Qiao Ping, who had drunk too much, to stagger away.

Why does Heaven play such a trick on people?

But if you don't live well, don't you live?

Qiao Ping hopes that the end of the world will really come, so he decides to go first.

He prepared an iron basin and charcoal.

Rented a rental house.

The windows were closed and a fire was lit.

Lay alone in bed and fell into a deep sleep.

。。。

When Qiao Ping woke up again, he found Chen An lying next to him.

Chen An transplanted one kidney to him.

Qiao Ping cried heartbreakingly, and he couldn't calm down for a long time.

In fact, Mr. Lu Xun's sentence is very right: "The joys and sorrows of human beings are not connected, I just think they are noisy."

It was Chen An who engaged in a business project with his classmates during college, and the crowdfunding funds plus the funds given by the school were all used by him.

He doesn't regret it!

Qiao Ping swore to protect him for the rest of his life at that time, and Chen An and Qiao Ping made the same oath, but they didn't know each other. The most romantic thing Chen An has ever done is that the two of them walked in the rain on a rainy day, Chen An half-knelt on the ground to tie Qiao Ping's shoes, I think it should be the most romantic moment for him!

They were in kindergarten for one year, six years in elementary school, three years in middle school, and three years in high school, all together, only four years of college were not together, and they were in love at that time, and it was the most difficult same-sex long-distance relationship.

They graduated from college, Qiao Ping did not attend the graduation party but went to Chen An's city to find him, and he decided to give him a big surprise without telling him in advance.

How can the tears stop, and whether there is a smile shining in the crystal of tears.

They saw each other, looked at each other, smiled at each other, and hugged each other. There is a kind of laughter that can cry out with laughter.

They have gone through various stages, all kinds of problems, all kinds of difficulties, and have been silently coming to the present.

More than once they have heard from others that long-distance relationships and homosexuality do not last long, but they have not been able to let go of each other, they never doubt each other, not once, because their minds have been connected before the pomegranate blossoms have bloomed, and they have always been on the same path.

We have been on the same path for 22 years, even if we are so far apart, and now there is a fork in the road.

The countryside is the countryside, the city is the city, can the countryside really become the city with a little transformation?

Living in a home with a yard would never want to live in a house without a yard.

There was a large group of chengguan that day, led by the deputy mayor and the chengguan captain, a group of chengguan followed behind the two big people and felt untouchable, very perfect to show the appearance of the dog fighting people, like a large group of ruffians and hooligans to all the residents with yards to carry out forced demolition, that look like bandits into the village when smashing and looting, if anyone dares to stop the chengguan captain, it is a slap in the face, and the chengguan behind does not care about 3721 is rushing up, after all, there are leaders who take the lead who does not want to show performance.

Chen An was slapped to the ground by the captain of the city management, he stood up again and had a fierce argument with them, a group of people were speechless, the captain of the city management felt very embarrassed in front of the deputy mayor, so he went up and slapped Chen An to the ground again, and then slapped Chen An to the ground again, and then hit Chen An under the crotch, he himself did not grasp the severity of this kick, and the others saw this and stepped forward to kick fiercely, Chen An's parents protected their son and was forcibly pulled away, and the nephew of the captain of the city management team behaved particularly fiercely, picked up a bench and smashed it on Chen An's leg.

The stool that broke Chen An's leg was the stool that was enough for pomegranates back then.

Qiao Ping's parents were also forcibly pulled away when they protected Chen An......

In this way, the two families watched the courtyard wall that had guarded them for most of their lives being torn down, the two families had no yards, the pomegranate trees were also bulldozed, and everything was reduced to nothingness under the shovel of the excavator.

The urban management brigade is very efficient, and chickens and dogs jump everywhere they pass.

The pomegranate tree had now been torn down, and the deputy mayor picked up a pomegranate and played with it in his hand, and the memories of his youth were scattered all over the ground like those pomegranates that had been trampled on.

Qiao Ping stood in front of the window and watched all this silently, it had been a long time since the police call had been made, and the chengguan brigade had been dismantled to the other side, but she still didn't hear the siren, but she was very calm at this time. People who are angry when they encounter things are not terrible, and the most terrible thing is people who are very calm when they encounter things.

Qiao Ping kept repeating this sentence in his heart: "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

Qiao Ping began to plan, in fact, the first person he wanted to kill was the captain of the chengguan, but he didn't know the movements of the captain of the chengguan, he only remembered the license plate of the deputy mayor, so a good show was staged, he planned for a day and a night, all the details were noticed, he put on makeup, he was already a woman, he was so good-looking, he prepared a small business card for room service, and stuffed it into the deputy mayor's room from under the door......

The deputy mayor called the hotel manager and asked him to stop the monitoring, and the hotel manager was familiar with such things, stopped the monitoring and arranged the room, and was ready to s... M's tools, everything was ready, and he cut off all his back roads like this.

A knife on the head of the color word fell on the head of the deputy mayor accurately, and he told the deputy mayor that she was going to kill the captain of the chengguan and the fat man without a hat, and the fat man was the nephew of the captain of the chengguan, Wang Zhenghao.

The deputy mayor cried bitterly and told Qiao Ping a lot of things, including some of his own corruption and bribery, which Qiao Ping requested, Qiao Ping recorded these words, and the deputy mayor even explained everything about stealing iron when he was a child, and only begged Qiao Ping to let him live.

Qiao Ping only said one sentence to him: "Do you love pomegranates"?

Qiao Ping sneaked out of the hotel after putting on makeup, the manager didn't see it, he took away everything he touched, wiped it with a tissue if he couldn't take it away, and even picked up the hair on the ground.

There was no moon that night, and Qiao Ping walked towards a fork in the road in the darkness with tears in his eyes, and he knew that he could not turn back.

Qiao Ping found the home of the captain of the chengguan according to what the deputy mayor said, he controlled the family of the captain of the chengguan, and the two children, a man and a woman, made her feel pity, he remembered that he and Chen An were children, when his mask was full of tears, what a wounded heart was under the tears.

We have no way of knowing when Qiao Ping and Chen An's relationship happened quietly, maybe when he gave him a pomegranate, maybe when he was strolling on a rainy day, maybe this is called a childhood sweetheart, and the two have no guesses.

The murder case in Zhou Zheng City was solved, but the deputy mayor died of overwork, and the recording of confessing himself disappeared from the Internet at some point.

In the same courtyard, a man stood silently in front of the toppled pomegranate tree, the moonlight shining all over his body......

Because I love you, I am strange.
