There is an ancient town in the southeast called Qichun Town, the original name is actually the stone cave, a heavy rainstorm in eight years flooded the stone cave town for three days and three nights, as soon as the water recedes, the simple villagers will change its name to pray for spring. Pray for spring surrounded by green mountains on three sides, a shallow river lies between the ancient towns, the four seasons change is not obvious, and only this disaster has occurred in a hundred years. The ancient town of Huipai, in this corner, should have a long and threaded story.

In the middle of August, the blue and white sky was a little overcast and muggy in recent days, and the clouds were pressed down into patches, and the weather was holding back the rain.

Ye Nian carried a pair of wet sneakers and placed them on the sunniest steps in the yard.

There is still half a month to start school, so I have to prepare in advance, brush a pair of shoes, Ye Nian's slightly long black hair is wet with sweat, and there is a drop of water on the white T-shirt.

After putting away his shoes, the boy turned around and went up to the second floor slowly, supporting his head comfortably, leaning on the window in boredom, the sun was not strong on his face, the summer sun did not darken the boy's complexion, but reflected him more and more white.

This feeling of being alone and being illuminated by the sun that is not scorching, Ye Nian enjoys it very much. At this time, the brain will be opened, and the thoughts will be like breaking out of the cocoon into a butterfly, floating away leisurely, and the ones who usually can't think of it will suddenly think about it, and those who can think about it will be even more open.

Ah, old age.

"Xiao Nian, come down, our neighbor is back!" The mother's voice rang out at the door of the house.

Ye Nian was stunned for a moment, and then the sound of the wheels of the trolley box was heard on the narrow road not far away.

Ye Nian's family has houses on the left and right. To the north is the Song family, a large ——— of the four generations in the same house, with two dolls in the family, the eldest Song Xun has reached adulthood, and the second Song Qian is less than three years old. But there was no one to live in the family to the south.

Mother's sentence "The neighbor is back" made Ye Nian a little surprised, it stands to reason that the family of the four generations in the same house does not look up and look down all day long, it is not unusual to go home, and the mother does not have to call herself downstairs to greet her.

Could it be that the Qi family, who has been missing for many years in the south, has returned?

Ye Nian grabbed his hair, and the impression of the Nan family in his mind flickered out. The white cheeks were slightly flushed.

When Ye Nian was not in elementary school, the south was inhabited, a family of three, and the boy was named Qi Si, who was three months older than Ye Nian.

When I was a child, Ye Nian had a round and fair little face, and her hair was not cut in time, and as soon as her soft black hair was long, Ye Mu tied it up with a small leather band, looking very much like a soft and cute little girl.

Song Xun is three years older than Ye Nian, and he is a child who doesn't like to talk much, and often leads other naughty boys to tease Ye Nian, pulling his pigtails, and saying that he is a little girl who twists.

Among the entire Qichun children, only Qi Si did not bully this white little boy, and even protected him everywhere, using his little fist that was not yet hard to help him block waves of teasing from other children.

In the long run, Qi Si is Ye Nian's only friend, and Qi Si has very few friends because he protects Ye Nian. Children's feelings are always innocent, you cast a peach, I give you my whole heart.

Ye Nian's kindergarten years were basically spent with Qi Si. There is a public kindergarten in the town, where most of the children go to kindergarten, and Qi Si and Ye Nian are no exception. The small wooden table is two by two, and Ye Nian, who is lost, often forgets to bring the enlightenment textbook, so he leans against Qi Si to read one. In Ye Nian's memory, Qi Si is a brother who is very good at taking care of people, the kindergarten often organizes some small activities, a spring outing of the year, Ye Nian gets up in the middle of the night to go to the toilet, I don't know how Qi Si also got up, and put a small coat on him. These small actions, Ye Nian remembered very clearly.

"Xiao Nian, hurry down!" His mother's voice interrupted Ye Nian's memory.

"Get down right now!" Ye Nian answered and walked down the stairs.

Out of the door of his house, a few steps away from the south of the door of the Qi house there are a few suitcases, the mother is talking to a slightly chubby middle-aged woman at the door, seeing Ye Nian coming over, the mother hurriedly introduced: "This is Aunt Zhao, say hello." ”

"Hello Auntie." Ye Nian smiled and nodded.

"Hey, Xiao Nian is a few years younger than Qi Si." Aunt Zhao said.

“...... As big, I'm two months older than him. Ye Nian smiled. Speaking of which, although Ye Nian is two months older than Qi Si, since he was a child, Qi Si has grown taller than Ye Nian, and many people consider him to be Ye Nian's elder brother.

It seems that after so many years, he is still taller than himself.

To grow tall is to take advantage.

Aunt Zhao is Qi Si's nanny, and she has been taking care of Qi Si since the Qi family left Qichun.

"You guys come to our house for dinner today, you just came back from the cold pot and cold stove can't cook." Mother said.

"Thank you, I'm really sorry for the trouble." Aunt Zhao said.

"It's okay, we'll be neighbors from now on." Mother smiled.

Ye Nian's mother is a kind and kind middle-aged woman, the opposite of her father, if there is no mother, Ye Nian feels that he may be a scumbag now, or he may be dead.

"Xiao Si is in the house, you haven't seen each other for many years, and you're probably going to be rusty. I'll go cook first, Sister Zhao, you rest. ”

"Don't, I've been cooking for most of my life. Xiao Nian, you go to Qi Si, your mother and I will go first. ”

Ye Nian responded and watched his mother and Aunt Zhao enter his door.

Then the next step is to meet friends I haven't seen in nine years, and I don't know why I'm a little nervous.

Why didn't you see him come out just now?

Entering the gate of Qi's house, the ground was covered with fallen leaves, and a decadent atmosphere of no one had lived in it for many years came to my face.

The room was open, Ye Young walked in lightly, a person half-lying on the sofa with his eyes closed, the decadent atmosphere and the long-abandoned yard matched very well......

From Ye Nian's point of view, you can see the side face of the decadent man, with a high nose bridge and a perfect side profile. The man frowned when he heard the sound of entering the door, and opened his eyes to look at Ye Nian.

Ye Nian just wanted to say hello, but he was a little speechless for a while. If you meet it on the street, you will never recognize it as your childhood friend. Although he is handsome, he is cold and uninhibited.

It's a bit of a bad feeling.

Ye Nian is not a self-acquaintance, and he is not even cheerful, so he doesn't know how to say hello for a while, hello, I call Ye Nian for a long time? Remember me, I'm Ye Nian? It doesn't seem to fit.

I was just about to speak. Qiji opened his eyes and looked at him, frowning and closing them again. There was an irritability between his eyebrows, as if anyone poked him would explode like a balloon.

Ye Nian: "......"

More than ten seconds passed.

Ye Nian: "That...... Let's go to my house for dinner, Aunt Zhao has already passed. ”

Two seconds later, Qi Si slowly opened his eyes again, looking impatient: "Don't make noise. ”

The atmosphere was very awkward, and what Ye Nian wanted to say was stuck in his throat, and at this time he wanted to turn around and leave.

This Qiji is probably just as it looks on the outside, and it's not easy to get along with. Ye Nian sighed in his heart by the way, his ability to see people is quite accurate.

But he couldn't go to dinner by himself without Qiji, so he decided to find something to talk about.

"Introduce yourself, I'm Ye Nian, I'm here to call you to eat, how about suggesting you go to bed after eating?" Ye Nian finished in one breath.

Qi Si reopened his eyes, the impatience on his face deepened a little, and he slowly got up with great reluctance: "There is a lot of nonsense. ”

Ye Nian is invincible and embarrassed, is there something wrong with this person or what, who owes him money?

The threshold of the Hui school building is very high, Qi Si has just arrived and has not yet adapted, and when he walked to the door, his leg was not high enough, and one foot stumbled heavily on the threshold, and Ye Nian in front turned around to help.

"Be careful of this ......" Before Ye Nian finished speaking, Qi Si quickly dodged Ye Nian's hand to help.

Disliked?

Ye Nian sighed in his heart, the changes in people are really unpredictable, and the gentle Qi Si has become a thorn in the head.

During lunch, there was no pleasant experience, Qi Si barely spoke, only said a word to Ye Mu when he first entered the door

"Hello Auntie".

Ye Nian is a delicate and sensitive person, and when he was eating, he observed Qi Si with his spare eyes, this prickly head has a cold attitude towards others, but he seems to be different to Aunt Zhao.

Although there is no verbal communication, it is just different, not as sharp and cold.

Mother Ye and Aunt Zhao seemed to be chatting very well, and in the afternoon, Mother Ye asked Ye Nian to help find Aunt and Qi Si to pack their luggage and clean the room.

Ye Nian planned to sweep the ground, and the dust on the ground could not reach the soles of his shoes.

With a sweep of the broom, the living room was instantly dusty. Ye Nian choked on the dust rushing to his face, bent down and began to cough violently.

Qi Si looked at this side, and his brows tightened again: "Tsk." ”

Ye Nian rolled his eyes at him.

You'll sweep you'll sweep!

Unexpectedly, Qi Thorn snatched Ye Nian's broom, his sweeping technique was very skillful, and the dust did not fly around at all under his hands.

Ye Nian was secretly surprised, and he couldn't see that Qi Si was quite good at sweeping the floor.

After Qi Si finished sweeping, he patted his clothes, went into the bedroom and threw the broom into the corner. The thrower has no intention, and the hand strength is not small.

A cracking sound was heard.

A few small pieces of rubble rolled down from the roof.
