Xu Xiaoxiao walked slowly, and his feet were already pitch black.

She is located in an old and dilapidated urban village with narrow and complicated roads. The houses are of different heights and heights, and the arrangement is complicated and complicated, and many of them are newly built simple houses, which are extremely dilapidated and do not meet the construction standards. It is often a dozen pieces of iron sheet that have been removed from nowhere, and they are combined into a small room with a nail gun. There are three or two families living in it, or more, and everyone is huddled together, and the more elaborate ones may be separated by curtains, and those who don't care are just like that.

Everyone is like canned sardines, the whole urban village is canned boxes, but the people inside are imprisoned sardines. Crowded, but unable to escape.

There is a large flow of people here, and there are people of all religions, even if you sleep at home, there is no guarantee that you will not encounter robbery and death. Even the police don't care about what happens here, it's a gray area. When people die here, they die, like ants under their feet, and everyone is the lowest in the food chain. No one should look down on anyone, but live blindly, numbly and without hope.

Xu Xiaoxiao has been applying for boarding schools since junior high school, and even if he is on vacation, he will only find a job to earn some living expenses. She was taught by her mother since she was a child: Xiaoxiao, you don't belong here, you will be a golden phoenix that will fly out of the pheasant's nest. Mom is convinced of this, so she will provide for you to go to school, but only until you go to high school, and you will have to rely on yourself in the future······

The knife-mouthed tofu-hearted woman opened a small noodle shop in this mixed place, which was very good but very small, and could only fit three or two tables, and the rest had to be placed in the open air.

The neighbor and landlord is a lonely old lady, who took in Xu's mother more than ten years ago and Xu Xiaoxiao, who was born in her arms. is willing to share a house for them to rent, and even the first month's rent is not asked for them, which also makes Xu's mother and Xu Xiaoxiao very grateful to her. The old lady had spent most of her life waiting for someone who might not return, and her favorite thing to do was to take a small bench and take a dip under the big tree outside her house, looking at the intersection leading to her house with earnest and determined eyes. Maybe someday there will be a familiar figure, her only son. She sat under a tree like a humanoid siren. Although his eyes are cloudy and his ears are not good, he can always see at a glance which person eats noodles at Xu Xiaoxiao's house and wants to escape the order.

When there is such a sneaky person, the old lady will make a strange sound, and Xu Xiaoxiao's mother will rub the greasy oil on her hand to the apron, and carry a kitchen knife like a dominatrix. "Which little rabbit cub dares to go to the old lady's territory to eat noodles without paying! See if the old lady doesn't chop him to make steamed buns to eat! ”

It's like a tacit understanding, a tacit understanding formed thousands of times.

When I was a child, Xu Xiaoxiao would go to help when the store was busy, holding a big noodle bowl with a small body, and said crisply: The noodles are here, who wants them? When it was time to eat, Xu Xiaoxiao's mother would make two servings of noodles, one in a small plastic red meander and the other in a large bowl of blue and white porcelain.

She would always call Xu Xiaoxiao over with a disgusted face: Go, go! It's all messing around here, and you just don't do business all day long, and I want your help here? Of these two, one for yourself and one for that grandmother!

People who come to the store to eat noodles for the first time may be upset for Xu Xiaoxiao.

"Boss, your daughter is well-behaved, she hasn't been tired of shouting for a day. He laughs sweetly and speaks nicely. Where is the chaos? For the sake of your lovely and attractive daughter, I will come a few more times! ”

"Yes, if you really dislike it, give it to me! The girl was beautiful and well-behaved. ”

"My family happens to lack a daughter, beautiful and well-behaved."

People who often eat in the store also know Xu Xiaoxiao's mother's character, and occasionally laugh with new guests and say: "Where is the proprietress disgusted, I'm afraid it's too late to feel distressed!" Prepare noodles for her on time every day, let her go out to eat them and come back. I'm afraid I'll starve her. ”

Xu Xiaoxiao's mother would always rush out with a fighting spirit on her face at such times, carrying a cold bone chopping knife. After a few circles in the air, threatening eyes swept over the heads of diners, telling everyone clearly: Who dares to want my daughter?

When everyone was forced to bow their heads and eat noodles by her eyes, she would return to the kitchen to chop meat with satisfaction. The sound is light but very rhythmic.

Sometimes when I saw Xu Xiaoxiao standing there with an ignorant look, I would hate the iron and say, "Go away!" Do you know that you do your homework at your grandma's after eating? If you let me know you're not doing your homework well······"

'簌~簌~' The thick bone chopping knife was in the air, and she danced vigorously. If there were any physical objects in the air, it must have been broken into hundreds of sections by now.

Xu Xiaoxiao likes to spend most time with her grandmother in the shade of the trees, and she will always tell her stories while she is doing her homework or eating noodles. There are many, many about her unfilial son who didn't know whether to live or die after being a soldier, what she saw and heard when she was young, how she married her husband, and how she became a charter wife with a lot of real estate. There is also a story of how Xu Xiaoxiao's mother came to this urban village, and finally decided to settle down here after being persuaded by her.

She walked around a few times and found that she couldn't seem to find a home. After all, she won't come back when she hits junior high school, and she is Xu Xiaoxiao nine years later. The familiar roads that often run and jump in my memory are gone, and only a large newly built house on the original base.

After all, it is an urban village, how can she forget about the rapid replacement of simple houses here?

"Hahaha, you can't catch up with me!"

"Dead fatty! Dead fatty! ”

A few children ran out of the narrow alley on one side with a smile and nimbly slipped into another even narrower alley. Children's innocence allows them to find fun and joy no matter what the situation and environment.

"Don't let me catch you if you have the ability! I'm going to kill you! ”

"Run! The dead fat man is going to kill someone! ”

"Don't let him catch him!"

"I'm going to skin you and cut off your heads and kick them as balls!"

Yo! It's quite bad at a young age. Xu Xiaoxiao thought about it for a while, but didn't take this sentence to heart. She continued to walk forward, but was bumped into by someone running out of the alley on the right.

Xue Chen's body was very fat, and he had done his best to catch up with the child who was running flexibly in front of him, and the fat on his body was also shaking and rolling around. Bean's sweat clouded his vision. Naturally, I didn't notice the intersection in front of me, and slowly walked out of a slender and graceful girl.

Now, even if he found out, it was too late, because of the blessing of inertia and weight, he had already crashed into the other party. The other party was good, and after being touched by him, he immediately flashed like a swallow, but he fell straight towards the raised steel bar on the road.

In urban villages, there are a lot of construction wastes like this that are discarded at will, as well as domestic waste, which are thrown everywhere. The people who live here have long been surprised, and no one wants to clean it up, so everyone usually hides and leaves. As for whether the car is easy to drive, it doesn't matter to them, because all the roads here are so narrow that even pedestrians are about to become a problem.

Four-wheeled cars are probably even more unusual here than UFOs.

"Hey! Be careful! Xu Xiaoxiao obviously saw that his head was about to be pierced by the steel bar, and grabbed his arm, but his arm was too thick, she couldn't hold it with one hand, and she was almost dragged down by his weight and fell. She hurriedly grabbed her hands together and pulled him in the direction he had fallen.

Bang

Xu Xiaoxiao felt that she was about to vomit blood, and her body was like a huge mountain of flesh pressing against her, and she couldn't move.

"Little slut?" There was a boy's voice in his ear, and the other party should be in the voice change period, so his voice was very hoarse and ugly. He didn't even speak very well. Listen, who would call a little slut the first time they met and saved his life? Thank you and don't say a word.

Xue Chen rolled off Xu Xiaoxiao as if he had been electrocuted, "Xu Xiaoxiao, you little slut, how dare you come back!" ”

Xu Xiaoxiao exhaled deeply, and found an impression about this person in the depths of his memory. Xue Chen, one of the oil bottles brought by his stepfather.

From the first day she came to her house, he cut off her hair at night while she was asleep, and threatened her that she would cut off her head next time, so that she could not sleep for several nights with her eyes open. After that, what he did with his sister was even more hateful, cutting her clothes, tearing up her homework book, and robbing her of things to eat······ Anyway, as long as it can make her unhappy, he and his sister will be extremely happy.

The perverted sister and brother and the stepfather who eats, drinks, prostitutes, and gambles can be called a scourge trio.

"Xue Chen, how old are you? Keep your mouth clean, no matter how I say it, it's your sister! Xu Xiaoxiao sat up slowly, she was already seriously injured, and she was drenched in the rain for a long time, and she was smashed by Xue Chen's body of nearly two hundred catties. Half of his life had already been removed, and now Xue Chen was dusty when he rolled, and he coughed violently.

"Ahem, cough, cough~~~"

"Weren't you driven away by that old woman? Old women don't want you anymore! How dare you come back! ”

"This is my home! Xue Chen! She's not an old woman, she's your mom too! Xu Xiaoxiao took a break and retorted to him, "It's only right for me to go back to my own home!" Also, I forgot how to go, Xue Chen. ”

Xu Xiaoxiao lowered his head, looking panicked and lost. What if she can't find her way home? Will Mom forget her?

"Cut, you forgot to go home and don't care about me! Bah! Xue Chen spat at the mouth, patted his ass and left.
