When the boy came out of the Internet café, it was already past ten o'clock in the evening, and he bit on half a piece of dry bread that his friend had given him, and walked towards home as usual.

There are not many street lights in the small county, and the lighting at night depends on some small grocery stores that close late, so the light is relatively dim along the way.

The boy was walking along the familiar path, and suddenly the girl's cry came from a deeper alley.

The girl's frightened and suppressed cry was mixed with a man's slurred lewd laughter, and the boy quickly heard the girl's voice, like the representative of her class.

The boy didn't think much of it, he quickly searched around, and finally grabbed a red brick from a corner, and without saying a word, ran into the alley, and soon saw a short and fat middle-aged man forcing a little girl into the corner.

Even from a distance of several meters, the boy could smell a strong smell of alcohol.

The boy couldn't see the girl's face clearly, didn't know if it was his classmate, only vaguely saw that the man's hand had reached into the girl's skirt, and the girl stood tremblingly in the corner, shrunk her shoulders in horror and helplessness, and sobbed quietly.

The boy grabbed the red brick in his hand and rushed directly behind the man, jumped up and smashed it into the back of the man's head.

The man obviously drank too much, and he couldn't react in time when he heard a voice approaching quickly behind him, and finally his head fell on the brick.

The boy was not big, but his strength was amazing, and the already incomplete bricks were directly slapped in two by him, and the man covered his head in pain and stumbled against the wall.

As soon as the girl was free, she hurriedly grabbed the schoolbag on the ground, and then ran away without looking back.

The boy saw the girl's appearance clearly, and it was indeed his classmate, the representative of the beautiful Chinese class in the class.

The boy was looking in the direction of the girl's escape, when his back was suddenly kicked in the back by the drunken man who was relieved, and his whole body almost flew out.

The boy didn't care about the pain, he got up with a grunt, and as soon as he turned around, he was kicked in the chest by the man.

"Bunny! Look at Lao Tzu and don't kill you today! The man roared angrily, bright red blood ran down the back of his neck, the numbness of alcohol made him lose his sense of pain, and he lost most of his mind, he wiped his sleeves, and walked towards the boy angrily.

The boy slowed down, and after getting up, he didn't run away immediately, but rubbed his kicked chest, and stared at the man in front of him with a pair of dark eyes.

The drunken man was unsteady on his feet, so the boy eventually relied on his talent for group fights at school and knocked the adult man, who was three or four rounds older than him, down with a broken brick.

After the fight, the police arrived.

The little girl went to the police.

Both the boy and the drunk man were taken away, and the drunk man, who had walked through the hospital, came to his senses and insisted that the boy had robbed him, and the boy argued that he was trying to save his classmates.

The people from the police station went out of their way to verify the female classmate that the boy said he had saved, but the female classmate said that she was just passing by and saw someone fighting before calling the police, and she didn't know anything else.

The boy didn't defend himself anymore, and squatted in the corner with his bruised arms.... The female classmate she saved last night was notoriously timid and scared in the class, and the boy didn't expect much from her.

After dawn, the boy's parents arrived, ready to say that they were the boy's adoptive parents.

The boy's pot-bellied adoptive father kicked the boy when he went up, pointed at the boy with spittle, and scolded, "Mom, a wild ball, just make trouble for Lao Tzu!" ”

The unsuspecting boy was kicked over, and he quickly stood up and took a few steps back, glaring at his adoptive father without saying a word but with fierce eyes.

A policeman scolded him twice, and the boy's adoptive father did not continue to do so.

The boy's adoptive mother stood with her hands on her chest with a gloomy face, and from time to time she played with her newly made hair.

The drunken man who was injured by the boy was a wealthy coal boss who had a small status in this small county town, and the boy's adoptive father did not dare to argue with him, so he agreed to compensation after some mediation and paid the bail fee very reluctantly.

After going through a series of bail procedures, the boy's adoptive father grabbed the boy's arm and took him away.

Not long after leaving the gate of the police station, the boy's adoptive father slapped the boy's head, and scolded with hatred, "Wild goods that lose money, why did Lao Tzu get involved with such a thing as you!" Cause trouble for Lao Tzu every once in a while, why don't you get killed! ”

The boy shrank his head after being beaten, and the next second he struggled to break free of his adoptive father's hand, and pushed his adoptive father hard, then turned around and ran away quickly.

"Okay, what are you doing with him so much?" The woman grabbed her husband, who was about to chase the boy, and said casually, "I didn't expect him to be anything." ”

"He's only twelve years old, and he won't be able to return him to that man until he's eighteen years old, and he'll go on like this, and he won't toss the dead man..."

"Well, I don't want him to go yet." The boy's adoptive mother said, "You said that if he leaves, the annual alimony will be gone, and such a large sum will not make so much money for you to die hard for a year." ”

The boy ran all the way home, and when he got home, he ran into his room, a small room of four or five square meters, converted from a storage room, and then locked the door.

When the boy's adoptive parents arrived home, they locked the door of the boy's room from the outside, probably because their anger had not yet subsided.

"Don't go to school for the next two days." The boy's adoptive father knocked on the door twice and said angrily, "You give me a good time to reflect on inside, so that I can eat at night..."

The boy snorted, leaned against the messy cot, plugged his ears with two balls of cotton, and read a worn-out comic book until his adoptive father stopped cursing.

I don't know how long later, there was another knock on the door, and the voice of the boy's adoptive mother came from outside the door, which was not the usual meanness, this time it was extremely gentle.

"San'er, come out, don't sleep, there's a guest at home."

He had never heard his adoptive mother speak to him in such a gentle voice, and the boy immediately suspected that his adoptive mother was going to lie to him so that he could beat himself.

The boy was unmoved, and was about to stuff cotton balls into his ears again, when his grandfather's old and kind voice came from outside the door.

"Be obedient, there is an uncle looking for you, don't be ignorant."

The boy's grandfather was the only one in the family who was sincere to the boy, so after hearing his grandfather's voice, the boy got out of bed and opened the door.

The boy's adoptive mother put her arms around the boy's shoulders with a soft smile on her face, and said softly, "San'er, this uncle downstairs is from the city, he was the one who sent you here back then, he came this time to want to know how you are doing here, you have to say better...." ”

The big eyes under the boy's thick eyebrows popped up with a strange gaze, and he was suddenly full of curiosity about the uncle downstairs, he didn't seriously think about his adoptive mother's words, his eyes were already chasing downstairs in confusion, and finally nodded expressionlessly.

The boy's adoptive mother smiled and hugged the boy affectionately and went downstairs.

While stepping on the last few flights of stairs, the boy saw the man sitting on the sofa....

It was an extremely handsome man, who looked no more than twenty-five or sixteen, he was wearing an ironed navy blue suit, and even his sitting posture was more dignified and elegant than ordinary people, and his body exuded a temperament that was incompatible with the hustle and bustle of this small county town.

Although the man looks extremely young, his eyes are cold and distant, which makes his whole person look unkind of impersonal stability and depth.

The boy looked at the man in a daze, and only felt that this man's skin was so white, wondering if everyone in the city looked like this.... Pretty.

The boy was almost pushed by his adoptive mother to the man.

Perhaps the adoptive parents' attitude towards the man was too respectful and flattering, and even the atmosphere became tense and serious, which made the boy inexplicably feel some awe of the strange man in front of him.

"Boss Luo, San'er is doing a good job with us." The boy's adoptive father's smiling face was almost piled together, "Although this child is rebellious, he is very likable." ”

The man looked at the boy's clothes, pants and shoes, which were obviously worn, and finally his eyes fell on the bruises on the boy's wrists, and his eyes suddenly darkened.

The boy's adoptive father also immediately realized what was going on, and quickly explained, "This kid always fights with his classmates at school, and he fought with his classmates yesterday, but I have already educated him. ”

The man ignored the boy's adoptive father, he stretched out his hand towards the boy and looked at the boy with a peaceful gaze, "I'll take you away, are you willing?" ”

The man's voice was warm and magnetic, as if there was a kind of clear texture like a spring, which made people feel reliable, and the boy looked at the man in front of him in a daze, his eyes full of surprise.

"Boss Elo, this.... Isn't this yet eighteen? The boy's adoptive father smiled in a panic, "We'll be okay now..."

"You've always been doing things with money..."The man's voice instantly became frosty, he turned his head to look at the boy's adoptive father, and said expressionlessly, "Now I'm going to take him away, do you have any opinions?" ”

The boy's adoptive father rubbed his hands on his thighs, looking at the ground and not daring to speak.

"This.... Let's see what the child says. Reluctant to support the entire family's expenses, the boy's adoptive mother patted the boy's shoulder and said softly, "San'er, do you want to go with this uncle, or do you want to stay with your parents..."

The man was obviously a little confused about the current situation, but he was full of curiosity about the man in the city in front of him, who seemed to be two worlds away from his adoptive parents.

"San'er, do you want to leave your parents?" The boy's adoptive father whispered again.

The boy didn't look at his adoptive mother, nor did he pay attention to his father's begging gaze, he just put his hand on the man's palm.

The boy nodded vigorously.

"San'er you...."

The boy's adoptive mother was just about to say something, but the * who was sitting on the sofa got up, and the height of more than 1.8 meters was like a majestic and slender hill for the boy's adoptive mother who was less than 1.6 meters, coupled with the low-pressure aura that permeated the man's body, which almost made her shut up instantly.

The man looked down at the boy and said lightly, "If you have any personal items you want to take away, go and get them, and give you five minutes." ”

The boy shook his head.

The boy's adoptive parents wanted to persuade them again, but they were all frightened back by a cold look from the man.

"Follow me."

After the man finished speaking, he turned around and walked towards the door, the boy followed closely, and his adoptive parents also followed with a sour face, and said without giving up, "Boss Luo, this kid Tepi, I'm afraid it will cause you a lot of trouble by your side, I suggest you still..."

The man didn't look at the boy's adoptive father, and said coldly, "How has this child been with you all these years, do you think I haven't done an investigation before I came?" ”

The boy's adoptive parents suddenly choked, and their faces were extremely pale.

The man led the boy to his car, and the man's bodyguard immediately opened the door for him.

The boy sat in the back seat of the car, and the man sat next to him.

"Boss Luo, or.... Why don't you finish your lunch here and leave?" looked at the cold-faced man in the car window, and the boy's adoptive father flattered, "I'll book you the best restaurant in our house." ”

The man ignored it and raised the window as he said to the driver, "Drive." ”

After the car drove away, the boy's adoptive mother patted her thigh in a panic, and shouted with hatred, "It's over, it's over, the golden eggs are gone..."

The boy's adoptive parents are not working, and the family can have a stable foothold in this small county without worrying about food and clothing, relying entirely on the 100,000 yuan in alimony that they get for nothing every year, although they hate this non-biological son, but they still regard it as the golden pillar of the family in their hearts.

Now that the boy has been picked up, it means that the only source of income for their family is gone.

"Let you hit the child all day long, now it's fine." The boy's adoptive mother pointed at her husband and scolded, "You go out for me to make money." ”

"Didn't you fight? Who pushed San'er down the stairs last time! ”

"Didn't you push it by your own son, why did you rely on me..."

The couple stood on the street and quarreled, causing many passers-by to stop and laugh.

----------------

On the highway to Bei'an City, the man held the boy's wrist, and the boy was a little resistant, but because the man's movements were extremely light, this made him let down his guard a little bit.

The boy found that the man's fingers were very beautiful, white and slender, he had only seen them in his comic books, but the palm was slightly cold, and the moment he touched it, it seemed that a coolness seeped into his skin.

The man rolled the sleeves of the boy's forearm over his shoulders and saw the bruises on the entire arm.

The man lowered the boy's arm, looked at the boy with a peaceful gaze, and asked softly, "What's your name?" ”

The boy looked at the man in amazement, thinking that this man had sworn to take him away, and how could he not even know his name.

"Wednesday." The boy's answer was short and forceful, and he looked at the man without the slightest fear, probably because he had lived in a relatively insecure environment since he was a child, so he was able to adapt quickly to unfamiliar things or people.

The man's eyebrows furrowed slightly, obviously not satisfied with the boy's name.

"You just follow me obediently, aren't you afraid that I'm a bad person?" The man asked with a smirk.

The boy shook his head, his dark eyes particularly intent, "I grew up around bad guys. ”

The man was slightly stunned, he looked at the calmness and tenacity on the boy's face that surpassed that of children of the same age, and seemed to feel a bit of fierce sharpness in the boy's eyes.

"Really?" The man said, "Then you're willing to start over with me?" ”

The boy looked at the man and nodded seriously, "You seem to be very powerful, better than anyone I've seen." ”

The man was amused, "Since you are willing to start over with me, it is necessary to make some changes, starting with the name...."

The boy looked at the man blankly.

"The word 'three' doesn't sound good." The man said, "I thought of a word for you, Xiao, Xiao, Xiao." ”

"Xiao?"

"Yes, from now on, you will be called, Zhou Xiao."

The boy pursed his lips, as if silently reciting his new name in his heart, and after a long time he nodded vigorously, then blinked his eyes and asked the man curiously, "What's your name?" ”

The man chuckled, "Mio Lowen, your new guardian, you can be your father if you can..."
