In 1995, a town-level middle school in southern China.

At half past nine in the evening, people who had finished their evening self-study scattered in the campus, and the quiet campus immediately became lively.

"Aha, give me a glass of love water——, "Someone outside the school gate sang a pop song.

Chen Xi next to the singer smiled, "Don't show your treasure, just your broken level, you deserve to roar in the toilet, and you will scare the classmates in the women's toilet next door." ”

"For me not to shed a tear all night—" the singer disagreed, and continued to "roar".

"Who, who sang? Why is it so ugly? ”

This time it wasn't Chen Xi, it was a few girls walking in front of them.

"Who else could it be? Isn't it Jacky Cheung singing! ”

"What! It was sung by Andy Lau. ”

"It's not Jacky Cheung in the Four Heavenly Kings, it's Zhang Xueyou in the third class."

"Sing like killing a pig. Hee-hee......"

The girls in front chirped, and then they all laughed, and Chen Xi and Zhang Xueyou in the back heard it clearly.

Listening to the voice was not a classmate, through the dim street lamp, Chen Xi looked at the backs of the girls, it seemed that they were from the third (second) class of junior high school, they obviously didn't expect to be heard.

Some girls have already said this, and Zhang Xueyou is embarrassed to sing anymore.

Chen Xi whispered to Zhang Xueyou: "Tianwang, I didn't expect your fans to be all over the campus, and they are all female fans, I really admire it!" ”

Zhang Xueyou was a little embarrassed, but after thinking about it, he was not a professional anyway, and he said that he had a bit of weight, regardless of whether he killed a pig or not. He immediately said proudly: "That's natural, I don't know how many girls know me at the young age of the first and second years of junior high school!" ”

Chen Xi smiled: "Your song is popular, but the singing method is no longer popular!" If I teach you the most popular ways to sing, I'm afraid that even high school girls will become your fans! ”

"What? Say my singing style is no longer popular? Tell me how to sing! Zhang Xueyou said a little dissatisfied, but he learned Andy Lau's singing voice on tape.

Chen Xi smiled a little ill-willedly, lowered his voice and said, "You should change the lyrics to 'Give me a glass of aphrodisiac water, and I won't sag all night' and sing it again." ”

Zhang Xueyou immediately laughed and thought it was very interesting. They walked slowly, and the girls in front of them had already walked far enough to hear him singing, so he changed the lyrics and tried to sing: "Aha, give me a glass of aphrodisiac water, so that I won't droop all night-" Of course, the voice was not as loud as just now.

"Huh! Zhang Xueyou! ”

"Wow! You...... Tsk......"

A burst of surprise suddenly sounded behind them, and Chen Xi and Zhang Xueyou couldn't help but be startled. When I looked back, I saw two girls behind them.

The two girls were their classmates in Class 3, Li Xiaotong and Leng Bingbing. In the dimness, I couldn't see if the two of them were blushing. In the adolescent age of the third year of junior high school, although many of them don't understand, they still vaguely understand the word "aphrodisiac".

Zhang Xueyou's face turned red when he saw the female classmate, but this kid reacted quickly and immediately said, "It's none of my business, Chen Xi taught me!" ”

"Won't it?" Li Xiaotong and Leng Bingbing said in surprise at the same time. "We heard you sing!"

Zhang Xueyou secretly stretched out his hand and pulled Chen Xi, Chen Xi would understand, but if he admitted it, didn't he lose his glorious image in front of girls? And Zhang Xueyou didn't have any image in the first place, so he simply ......

But soon Chen Xi felt embarrassed, Zhang Xueyou was his best friend, how could he think like this? He doesn't have any image, and he can't let him lose face.

Thinking of this, Chen Xi immediately smiled and said, "This...... I really taught him to sing. ”

Seeing the two girls stunned, Chen Xi immediately added, "What's wrong? Isn't it just to change 'forgetful water' to 'mineral water', is it worth it for you little girls who are addicted to Andy Lau to complain about him? ”

He simply pretended to be confused and refused to admit it, which made Zhang Xueyou secretly exclaim.

Seeing the two girls smiling evilly, Chen Xi smiled awkwardly, and then changed the subject, "The weather is so nice tonight!" ”

Li Xiaotong: They don't understand why Chen Xi is talking about the weather, it's too abrupt, right?

Zhang Xueyou immediately sang and said: "That's it, the weather is so good, I thought it would rain, and I brought an umbrella." ”

"We've got umbrellas with us, too." Leng Bing raised his hand and said.

"Don't worry, I don't have an umbrella with me, how can it rain?" Chen Xi shook his head and said.

Everyone couldn't help but laugh, and at this moment, a bright light suddenly flashed in the sky, and then a huge thunderclap sounded.

"So don't you give me face?" Chen Xi looked up at the sky and muttered in a low voice.

Li Xiaotong laughed: "The weather is really good, but there are unforeseen circumstances, and it may rain soon, so let's go quickly!" ”

The two of them live very close to the school, while Chen Xi and them are relatively far away, so they are also afraid of the rain.

They had already reached a junction, and Li Xiaotong said to Chen Xi: "My umbrella is for you, right?" I stayed close and arrived very quickly. If it does rain, I can also share it with Bingbing. ”

Chen Xi didn't take her umbrella, and said with a smile: "It's okay, I said that it won't rain if I don't bring an umbrella." Let's just go faster, it's okay, it's a big deal to let the king send me back. ”

The boys and girls of this age are still a little shy to speak, Li Xiaotong didn't say anything, and said coldly: "Do you want a flashlight?" ”

Zhang Xueyou hurriedly said: "Don't I have it here?" Protest! Why do you care so much about Chen Xi? ”

The two of them laughed and scolded Zhang Xueyou, said goodbye and went to another road.

There were other students on the road, and everyone saw that it was about to rain, so they all quickened their pace, and some of the students who were far away still walked on bicycles.

Zhang Xueyou whispered to Chen Xi: "Chen Xi, you are really a buddy, you really admit it in front of your female classmates." ”

Chen Xi glared at him: "You kid betrayed me, I haven't said that you are heavy on sex and light on friends!" ”

Zhang Xueyou smiled and patted Chen Xi's shoulder, "Okay, please have supper tonight." Fried noodles! Okay, right? ”

They are now in the third year of junior high school, and they often study late at night, and sometimes after class, they will get some supper to eat. But everyone doesn't have much money, usually just a little biscuits, instant noodles and the like.

"You're really good at picking the time, it's going to rain now, you invite me to eat fried noodles!" Make a note of it first. ”

"It's okay, I'll send you back later." Zhang Xueyou said and took Chen Xi to a small restaurant.

As soon as I entered the restaurant, it was already raining heavily.

Zhang Xueyou asked for two fried noodles, both of which were vegetarian fried noodles without meat and eggs, two yuan. For them, two yuan of fried noodles is already a luxury.

"It's over, I don't know how long it will take." Chen Xi watched the rain get heavier and heavier, and he didn't want to go back too late.

When the noodles were fried and the rain was still falling, Zhang Xueyou saw that Chen Xi wanted to go back, and he also wanted to go back early, otherwise the family would be worried.

"Why don't we pack up and go back now?" Zhang Xueyou said that he asked the shopkeeper to fill the fried noodles in a lunch box.

One was carrying a lunch box, and the two shared an umbrella, smiling and rushing into the rain.

The two walked briskly in the rain, there were few pedestrians on the street, and those who did not bring umbrellas were sheltering from the rain under the eaves on both sides.

The two were talking about a new martial arts novel along the way, and suddenly Chen Xi didn't speak.

"What's wrong?" Zhang Xueyou asked.

"Stop, go over there under the eaves." Chen Xi looked at the side of a building.

Zhang Xueyou followed Chen Xi over there, walked downstairs, and saw a person sitting under the wide eaves. Originally, Zhang Xueyou wanted to ask Chen Xi what he was doing, but now he also felt curious.

The man sitting under the eaves was a monk, a middle-aged monk with a large rosary on his chest, sitting cross-legged on the ground with his eyes closed and smiling. He looked peaceful, as if it was his side of the world, and the heavy rain two feet away did not affect him at all.

The two of them had already walked under the eaves, and Chen Xi looked at the monk and said, "Could he be dead?" Zhang Xueyou shook his head.

Chen Xi lowered his body and said to the monk, "Hey, master, are you okay?" ”

When the monk heard Chen Xi's words, he raised his eyelids and looked at the two of them with a smile.

Zhang Xueyou hurriedly said: "We should call the master, master, why are you here?" "I've read too many martial arts novels, and they still understand the basic rules of the rivers and lakes.

"Two classmates, I'm waiting for someone here." The monk replied in a low voice.

Chen Xi looked at the monk and asked, "Master, it's so late, and it's raining heavily, you may not be able to wait for anyone." Where are you eating? Where to stay? ”

The monk still smiled and said kindly: "If you have a fate, you can naturally wait for it." Food and shelter are small things, you can eat anything, you can live anywhere. ”

Chen Xi looked at Zhang Xueyou and said to the monk: "Master, I have a box of noodles here, it's still hot, you can eat it first." However, I can't help but take you back to live. As he spoke, he handed his lunch box to the monk. Although he has read too many martial arts novels, it doesn't matter if he wants to send food, but of course he can't take him home. Where would the family allow a child to bring an unknown stranger back to live?

The monk looked at Chen Xi for a while, nodded, and took Chen Xi's lunch box. Zhang Xueyou also hurriedly handed over his lunch box, "Master, it may not be enough to eat, you can also leave this." ”

The monk smiled and said, "Enough, enough, this box is not needed, thank you two classmates." ”

"Then we'll go first." Chen Xi pulled Zhang Xueyou's umbrella and entered the rain.

After the two walked a few meters, Chen Xi said to Zhang Xueyou: "Don't mind, thank you for your fried noodles, you can help others solve a dinner." ”

Zhang Xueyou patted Chen Xi's shoulder clearly, "You are my idol." Hehe......"

"Two classmates, can you come back again?"

The two of them walked more than ten meters when they suddenly heard the monk's words coming from the rain. The two of them didn't know what else was going on, and turned back again.

The monk said to Chen Xi: "Classmate, if you give me a meal, I want to give you something in return." ”

Chen Xi and Zhang Xueyou glanced at each other, and they couldn't help but think, it can't be some martial arts cheats, right?

As he spoke, the monk had taken out an item from his wide robe and handed it to Chen Xi, which was a wooden box the size of a textbook.

"Master, you misunderstood, I just gave you a box of noodles that don't matter to me, I didn't think to ask for anything in return, and you don't need to return anything to me." Chen Xi didn't pick up the wooden box.

Zhang Xueyou kept making a look at him, asking him to continue, maybe there was really something good. But Chen Xi didn't react at all, leaving him anxious on the side.

The middle-aged monk smiled and said, "Actually, I don't want to repay you, it's because I have a relationship with you." We have a relationship with you, so we can meet; It is precisely because of fate that you will come here. That's why I gave you such a thing, all because it is related to you, so you can accept it with peace of mind. Go, go! "He's already pushing.

Chen Xi saw that he couldn't shirk it, and he also wanted to go back, otherwise his mother would be worried, so he had to reach out and take it. Looking at the monk again, he had already closed his eyes again, and the two of them had no choice but to leave.

After walking out of a street, Zhang Xueyou hurriedly asked Chen Xi to open the box and see what was inside. Chen Xi also wanted to know, so the two walked to the outside of a shop on the side of the road and opened the wooden box under the light.

When the old-looking wooden box was opened, a beautiful statue of Avalokiteshvara was revealed. The color is a little dull, not porcelain, a little heavy, probably carved in stone, it feels very delicate in the hand, and it looks like an ancient statue.

Zhang Xueyou rummaged through the box again, and saw that there was nothing else, so he couldn't help but say disappointedly: "It turned out to be a statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva, and there is no martial arts cheats." ”

Chen Xi smiled, "Don't fantasize too much, where are there so many cheats, if you want to have kung fu, hard practice is the cheat." This statue is also very good, I can enshrine it at home, and maybe I can be admitted to a key high school as I wish. ”

Zhang Xueyou immediately responded: "Now learn and sell, where does the Bodhisattva care about you so much, if you want to do well in the exam, hard study is the secret." ”

The two of them couldn't help laughing, packed up the wooden box, and the two went into the rain again.

Zhang Xueyou's family is not very far from Chen Xi's family, and the two have been studying in the same school since they were children, and their personalities are compatible, so they have become close friends. Now the rain is not light at all, and there is still lightning and thunder, so both of them are walking fast, and Zhang Xueyou is also ready to send Chen Xi home first.

Although the two shared a big umbrella, they were also wet a lot, and seeing that they were not far from Chen Xi's house, both of them accelerated their pace.

Suddenly, Chen Xi felt that something was mixing with him, and he heard a harsh sound of "chirp-" in his ears. He couldn't help but stop, the two shared an umbrella, and Zhang Xueyou, of course, had to stop.

"What did you find again? I also have a box of chow mein here. Zhang Xueyou said with a smile and looked around.

Chen Xi lowered his head and saw something wriggling under his feet. "Let's see what?"

Zhang Xueyou hurriedly shone a flashlight on the ground.

"Wow!"

The two were startled, took two steps back, and looked at each other.

"What's that? Mouse? Zhang Xueyou asked in a low voice.

"Isn't it a man? Rats are afraid! Chen Xi chuckled in a low voice, "Let's take a look." ”

As the flashlight shone again, they could see what was on the ground. It was a blood-red thing, with thin eyes and a mouth, and a pair of large wings spread, lying on the ground in a somewhat frightening manner.

"What is this?" Zhang Xue said suspiciously: "It seems that it is not an eagle or a crane, a rat or a snake, is it a monster?" ”

"Don't talk nonsense." Chen Xi observed carefully for a while, and said slowly: "It looks like it should be a bat." ”

"Bats?!"

Zhang Xueyou was taken aback, and looked down for a while, "Is this what a bat looks like?" There aren't such big bats, do they? ”

"It's supposed to be a bat, nothing else looks like it. You can't stop it from being a bat just because it's big, and if you follow that theory, the big guy in Class 4 wouldn't be human. Chen Xi gave him a blank look.

Zhang Xueyou smiled, "Bats, good things, you can make a specimen, it must be very creative!" Ah, I remember that bats are not beasts! ”

Chen Xi couldn't help laughing: "Of course bats are not beasts, beasts are curses, just like the kind of characters who take advantage of the fire to rob, do not save the dead and help the wounded, and take others as specimens, can be classified as such." ”

"Are you scolding me? But seriously, bats are not birds or beasts, so I don't know if they should call one or one? ”

Chen Xi stretched out his hand and slapped him, "You don't care if it's one or the other, I have to take it back, otherwise it will stay in the middle of the road, and if it doesn't die in the rain, it will be crushed to death by the car......"

As he spoke, the sky flashed brightly, and another explosion sounded.

The bat on the ground was frightened by the thunder and "chirped" again, and its wings fluttered a few times, but it could not fly.

Zhang Xueyou was a little surprised when he heard Chen Xi's words, "I said that making specimens is just talking, you don't really want to save it, right?" Where do you put it? What do you take to raise it? Come on! This is the love of little girls, we have to do great things, these things that take in small animals should be done by girls. ”

Chen Xi ignored his words, and stuffed the wooden box and flashlight in his hand into his hand, "Doing chivalrous righteousness is to start from a young age, and now this is a life-saving." Obviously, it can't fly because of the rain, so I just put it under the bed in my house, don't bats eat mosquitoes? When the rain stops and it resumes, it will naturally leave, thinking of so many excuses to do. ”

Zhang Xueyou was holding an umbrella in one hand and a lunch box in the other, and now he was holding the wooden box and a flashlight, he didn't say anything more, take care of these things.

Chen Xi had already lowered his body and reached out to grab the bat. The flesh on the bat's body still has a layer of wet fluff, grabbing it in his hand, making Chen Xi feel a little unnatural, and with the thunder and lightning flashing from time to time, he also feels very scary when he sees the head of the bat.

He took a breath, picked up the struggling bat, and quickly took the wooden box with his free hand, opened it, put the bat inside, and quickly closed the box. The bat's huge body was reluctantly put into the box.

Zhang Xueyou watched Chen Xi busy, opened his mouth wide, and said for a long time: "Bodhisattva forgiveness." Chen Xi, why did you put the fouled bat on top of the statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva? It's really a sin. ”

Chen Xi smiled, shook the water in his hands, and said lightly: "Saving people's lives, winning the seventh-level floating slaughter (pagoda), saving the lives of bats, it should be the same, right?" This is what the Bodhisattva advocated, so how can it be that I am guilty of putting it on this stone statue? ”

Zhang Xueyou said helplessly: "We study in the same textbook, and I have basically read all the martial arts novels you have read, and you haven't read any bullshit masterpieces more than me, why can't I just say you?" Why is one plus one equal to three to you, and two to me? ”

Chen Xi shook his head and said with a smile: "If it weren't for the difference between understanding and absorption, then I think the only explanation is that I am better than you...... Hey! ”

Zhang Xueyou sent Chen Xi home, and then went back by himself.

Chen Xi took the wooden box to his room, opened the box, and the bat inside struggled to jump out, and then got under the bed in horror. He looked down and saw that the bat had already burrowed inside. I had to whisper: "Don't scream, don't mess around." ”

He kept thinking to himself, this bat is a little weird, why is it red? Ordinary bats should be black, right?

Chen Xi took out the statue of Guanyin again, found a cloth to wipe it clean, and then put it on the table.

It must be late by now, right? I really want to sleep.

But there was no way, because it was raining, Chen Xi still had to take a bath.
