Chapter 3 Big Brother

Li Boyang walked a few steps through the light, and suddenly realized that he was standing on a path among flowers, which was paved with gravel and stretched to a small pavilion not far away, as if he had seen this place somewhere. Li Boyang suddenly returned to his own world (just what he thought), and he was very happy, so he walked towards the pavilion without thinking. When I came to the pavilion, I saw a middle-aged man and an old man sitting in the pavilion playing a kind of chess that I had never seen before. When the old man saw Li Boyang coming, he couldn't help but smile, there was nothing on the chessboard when he waved his hand, and smiled at the middle-aged man: "Boyang is here, you can talk to him." Then he got up and walked away.

Li Boyang looked at the middle-aged man with a faint smile in front of him in a daze, and the middle-aged man pointed to the stone bench opposite him and said, "Sit down." Li Boyang sat down.

"Do you really want to know who I am?" the middle-aged man asked, seeing Li Boyang nodding, he continued: "I am your brother, you can be said to be my brother." Li Boyang didn't say anything, he didn't believe it, but he couldn't say anything. A man of the same age as his father said that he was his elder brother, and his tone was unquestionable, what else could he say? Seeing the middle-aged man looking at him, Li Boyang couldn't help but lower his head, moved his nervous and dry lips, and exclaimed, "Big brother." ”

The middle-aged man was very happy to hear him call like this, and reached out and pressed a place on the side of the table, and a glass of water appeared in front of Li Boyang. The water was in a glass, crystal clear. Li Boyang picked up the water cup and drank it in one gulp, his mouth was slightly sour, but it was extremely refreshing and thirst-quenching.

"Big brother, what kind of water is this?" Li Boyang put the empty cup on the table, feeling very comfortable. The middle-aged man looked at him lovingly and said, "It's just ordinary lemonade." Lemonade, Li Boyang secretly remembered, he had never drunk lemonade, his parents rarely took him out, and he only went to the park or zoo to play, and he had no chance to drink this kind of thing. Once he wanted to drink lemonade, but his mother refused on the grounds that it was "not good for the body". He didn't even know that lemonade and lemonade were different.

"Boyang, are you happy to see your eldest brother?" the middle-aged man asked.

"Well," Boyang nodded vigorously again, with a bright smile on his face, "happy." ”

"Would you like to live with your eldest brother here?" The middle-aged man couldn't help laughing when he saw Li Boyang so happy.

"Okay!" Li Boyang replied without thinking, and then suddenly remembered his parents, remembered that he was knocked unconscious on the back wall of the school, and his parents must have been worried about death if he hadn't gone back for so long. "Big brother, can I go back and pick up my mom and dad with me?"

The middle-aged man shook his head with a smile, and Li Boyang hurriedly said, "Why not?"

"Because they are all adults, and the adults will not come. The middle-aged man said helplessly, "They won't even believe you." If they had believed, they would have been here a long time ago. Because of the unbelief in the heart, no one can see this place. ”

Li Boyang didn't speak, just nodded, although he didn't understand why the adults refused to come, but he knew that if he said bluntly that he had arrived in a place that he didn't know about, and someone invited him to drink lemonade, his parents would not be able to believe it. Adults are too suspicious.

Happy times are always so short, with his eldest brother, Li Boyang has indescribable ease and happiness. It's as if all the worries are gone, school, teachers, classmates, bad kids, parents...... Everything is left behind. He didn't even want to go back, so he just stayed here. However, is it really good not to go back? Thinking about his home, Li Boyang is a little discouraged again.

"I kind of want to go back. Li Boyang looked up at the middle-aged man, for fear that the middle-aged man would be annoyed, but if he didn't go home, he was afraid that he would become the focus of the family storm, and he couldn't let go of his parents - although they always quarreled and always burned the war on himself. The middle-aged man just patted him on the head in understanding and smiled, "You are a filial child, I like it very much." Then he took his hand and walked back with him the path from which he had come. There is obviously only one road on this flower path, but it went around and around to another place, and Li Boyang looked at it, but it was the back wall of his school.

"Boyang, you can recognize the way when you go back from here. The middle-aged man touched Li Boyang's head. Li Boyang held the middle-aged man's hand tightly, very reluctant, knowing where he was going, but he refused to take a step, just raised his head and looked at the middle-aged man quietly.

"Boyang," the middle-aged man squatted down, looked at Li Boyang's face and said, "Big brother knows that you are reluctant to part with big brother, and big brother is also reluctant to let you, do you have anything you want big brother to do for you?"

Although Li Boyang didn't say a few words with this eldest brother, and even spent less than an hour together, he didn't know why he actually had a sense of closeness from the bottom of his heart. even vaguely felt that if there was a big brother, maybe he wouldn't be bullied by bad students anymore. At this time, hearing the eldest brother say this, Li Boyang's eyes couldn't help but be hot, and two lines of tears flowed down his cheeks, and he suddenly jumped up and hugged the eldest brother's neck and cried: "Big brother, I want you to go back with me, if only you could be with me every day." ”

The middle-aged man patted Li Boyang on the back and said, "Boyang, don't cry, my eldest brother is very happy to see you this time, my eldest brother has been waiting for you for so long, and you are finally back." As he spoke, he stuffed a small box into Li Boyang's hand and said, "Boyang, this thing was made by the eldest brother when he was playing with you before, but it has been too long, and you don't remember what happened at that time." If you have time, just open this box and take a look. ”

Li Boyang took the box in a daze, it was a black jade box, but he was small, and he just grabbed it with one hand tightly, and when he looked up again, the eldest brother was gone, and the roadside was already lit up, reminding him that it was not too early.
