One afternoon in the middle of summer, I was lying in bed preparing for a nap, Sun Kaijiao walked in with slippers, the dark skin reflected the whiteness of his teeth, his unkempt hair was messy like a bird's nest, the white sandals were black and yellow, and the green shorts were exaggerated and fat, we sat up and asked, "What do you do if you don't sleep at noon?" Sun Kai glanced at me, sat on a cardboard box in the corner, pouted and said: "My mother left, she ran out with my dad after a big quarrel, she didn't want me anymore", speaking of this, there were tears in his bright eyes, and his voice was choked up a lot, I sighed for a while, comforted him and said: "It's okay, your mother loves you so much, you will definitely come back in a while", he didn't speak, just lowered his head, his long eyelashes drooped, a few teardrops fell into the cement floor, and were quickly diluted by the dry dust, I said: " It just so happens that my dad is at home, let my dad go to your house to persuade him", I looked at him, he didn't squeak, and then I jumped out of bed neatly, pulled slippers into my dad's bedroom, he was asleep, snoring one after another, deafening, because of the night shift, so after lunch, I lay on the bed to make up for sleep, I timidly walked over, pushed my dad, maybe not pushed hard, or he did sleep too deeply, pushed two or three times did not wake up, and then I shouted: Dad, wake up, Sun Kai ran away with someone, My dad snorted, his snoring stopped abruptly, he opened his cloudy eyes, looked at me and pursed his lips, and a few seconds later he said to me, "What do you say?" Did Sun Kai run away or did he run away with someone? I laughed out loud without kindness, I said: "It's his mother, not Sun Kai", my dad frowned, took out a cigarette from the side of the bed and lit it, then sat up and said: "It's not good to sell vegetables, what are you tossing", I hurriedly stepped forward and said: "You go to his house to see, Sun Kai is still crying in my house", my dad flicked the cigarette ash, stepped on the slippers, picked up a fan from the bedside and shook it a few times, and walked out, I ran back to my room, and saw that Sun Kai was no longer crying, two tear stains hung on my dark cheeks, Like two zigzag canals, I said to Sun Kai: "It's okay, my dad went to see it, let's go out and play."

Sun Kai rubbed his eyes and stood for a while and said: "Where to go, it's so hot outside", I saw that his mood was a lot calmer, and he stepped forward and said: "Go to the woods of Nanshan, there is a bird's nest, and there is shade in the woods", Sun Kai's eyes burst out of a faint glow, he said: "Okay, look who is looking for more bird eggs", I changed into sneakers, Sun Kai also went home to change shoes, I pushed open the door and walked out, the afternoon sun baked everything like a big furnace, the earth was like a huge steamer, the heat made people breathless, and the plants and trees were depressed, It was like a dying wait, only the singing and chirping that knew it on the branches, the blue sky, even the clouds could not withstand the heat, and they hid without a trace.

I suddenly regretted accompanying Sun Kai out, thinking about it, I can still understand him, after all, these things did not happen to me, I went straight to the store on the corner of the road, I wanted to buy a popsicle to relieve the dry lips that were about to crack, at this time Sun Kai also changed his shoes and ran over, we walked into the commissary, looked around and did not see the sister who sold the goods, only the freezer was buzzing, as if protesting against the heat of this hot summer, Sun Kai said: "Let's go to the commissary on South Street", I said: "It's okay", When I was about to leave, there was a strange sound of chirping in the bedroom of the commissary, Sun Kai and I were surprised, I made a shush gesture, gave Sun Kai a look, we leaned over and lay on the door panel and listened carefully, there was really intermittent chirping and moaning in the room, and occasionally there was a man's lewd laughter, I and Sun Kai were shocked for a while, I put it in his ear and said: "The selling sister was kidnapped, the voice seems to be very painful", Sun Kai was stunned for a second and then said: "Then do we want to save her?" I said, "You stupid, we won't be arrested if we go." Sun Kai said, "Then let's run", I said, "Wait a minute, take a few popsicles and leave".

The corners of Sun Kai's mouth rose, his pupils dilated instantly, and he said hurriedly: "Can you take as many as you want?" I said: "Of course, if the freezer can be pushed, it can also be pushed away together" Sun Kai's cheeks instantly seemed to be full of delicate and tender wildflowers, and then looked at me with disdain and said: "Are you not ashamed to steal things", I was immediately embarrassed and said: "Do you eat or not?" Sun Kai said: "Eat", I said: "Don't talk nonsense, you go and get it, I'll give you the wind", Sun Kai went in response, came to the freezer, touched it for a long time and took two, I signaled him to take more, he crooked his mouth, and continued to dig his hand in, this time he grabbed a handful, I probably glanced at it, I was very satisfied, he had rock candy in both hands, crispy, chocolate, there were seven or eight sticks, I quickly walked over, grabbed three or four popsicles on one of his hands, and said to him: "Let's go, the kidnapper will come out in a while" , Sun Kai grinned and nodded.

When the two of us ran to the alley of South Street, there were already two popsicles melted, Sun Kai carried the melted popsicle and said, "Cheng Tho's heart is cold", and then bit a small hole in the corner of the bag and sucked it up.

South Lane is the only way for urban villages to go to Nanshan, there are artificially planted birch trees and poplars at the end of the lane, because the number of planted is very large, there is a kind of touch of entering the primeval forest when you walk into the woods, every midsummer comes, the trees are lush, the breeze is skipped, the sound is rattling, the cicadas and birds are singing, the wild flowers on the roadside are fighting for beauty, there are thousands of postures, the sun shines on the ground through the gaps in the trees, the shadows of the trees are swaying, as if time stands still, all the disdainful trivial things in the world will go away with the wind, when Sun Kai and I finished eating the last popsicle, I said to Sun Kai: "There are no clouds at noon, this will be dark again, let's go home, see if your mother is back", as if I said to the heartache, he sat silently, lowered his unkempt head, I walked over and pulled him up, and said, "It's okay, your mother must be back." ”
