Ferocious Dog of Old - Chapter 126
[Chapter 126 Final Chapter]
A gentle boy, holding a guitar alone, sat there and sang an old song.
His throat was clean and clear. This is a song that is not difficult to sing. Tao Huainan made a few mistakes, but he didn’t care. He sang it very easily.
Chi Cheng kept looking at him, without turning his eyes for a moment.
“That evening, white snow began to float, sadness filled the hills, waiting for youth to end…”
The people sitting below looked around, all looking for the “you” that the boy on the stage was talking about. Someone was already locked on Chi Cheng with sharp eyes, and a few little girls looked back at him.
However, Chi Cheng couldn’t see anyone except the boy in the shirt on the stage.
Many pictures flashed before my eyes one by one, like a very long, very long movie.
The movie started in that cold winter that was hard to come by in more than ten years. That winter was so cold that the stitches in the bones were as painful as needles.
At that time he was also called late.
He froze like a dead dog on a winter night and was carried inside the house. There was a boy on the kang who was blind.
The little blind man had never seen or knew anything, and was as timid as a mouse, even if an ice skater fell on the ground, he would jump.
That winter, he was brought home by the Tao brothers. That tall and big adult became his brother.
It was the first time in my memory that I came to the city, and it was also the first time I took a car. The little blind man from the Tao family sat next to him, fumbling out from his pocket, took out two lollipops and put them in his hand. A blind man cannot see, so he doesn’t pass things to people, he can only use both hands, one holds the other’s hand and the other stuffs things.
“Tear one apart for me, and I’ll give you the other.” The
little blind man seemed to have got a new toy, and when he faced himself, his big eyes were filled with novelty and hope. The sweet and greasy smell of lollipops rushed over with his voice: “Don’t be afraid, my brother is fine.”
The blind man loves to be close to people, and he has to be close when he speaks. He ducked back uncomfortably and defensively. The little blind man said, “No one will beat you in my house from now on.
” The children were stirred together, too close, and mixed with the warm air of the little blind man.
Chi Cheng slept on the bed of the Tao family, wearing the clothes of a blind man, and the greasy smell of milk was always around, mixed with the smell of rural firewood on his own, and gradually he couldn’t tell the difference.
The blind man was raised so delicately that there was flesh on his face and body, especially his two legs, which were very old and heavy. When my brother was not at home, they slept together, and he was always pressed to wake up. When I woke up, I pushed it down, and it didn’t come up after a while. At first he didn’t get used to it, but after getting used to it, he didn’t feel heavy.
Once, two small meaty legs were pressed on his stomach, so that he couldn’t breathe, he pushed one down.
The little blind man didn’t wake up, he was unhappy when he was pushed, he turned around with a pouted mouth, wrapped his arms around him, and grumbled. At that time, he neither liked being so close, but also found him annoying. Pushed and pushed but did not push, frowned impatiently and turned over, and fell asleep like that.
As soon as the picture turned, they all turned into elementary school students with schoolbags on their backs.
In those years, they were tightly bound together, and the little blind man was so timid that he didn’t dare to talk to people or walk by himself. The two Xiaodouding in a strange environment, the little blind man holds hands with him every day, and his hands are full of sweat. From time to time, he had to shake off the blind man’s hand, wipe the sweat from his palm on his trousers, and hold it again.
The blind man is hypocritical and pestering, and he can cry. Every day, I have to hold my hand until I go to bed, and hold it far away across the bed rails and pillow covers.
Someone in the school first offered to play with the blind man, and the blind man kept walking behind him and said without caring, “I don’t play… I’m going to be late.”
“Midnight movies, full of old stories. Love, in the dark, sing for young people…” The
soft melody accompanied by the boy’s soothing voice brought peace and softness to everyone in a small space.
The two puppies picked up by the security guard in the community turned into two ugly dogs in the alternation of spring, summer, autumn and winter, but they were very lively, biting and rubbing together around the security booth in the community every day.
The teenager grew up rapidly, and the shadow under the street lamp became longer and longer.
Tao Huainan, a junior high school student, put his arms around Chi Ku’s arm and said that he wanted to drink milk tea.
Chi Ku said, “Tomorrow’s.”
“I want to drink it now,” Tao Huainan put his face on Chi Ku’s shoulder and hummed, “I’m hungry.”
“Can I drink milk tea when I’m hungry?” Hard to ask.
“Yes, I want to eat Doudou in it.” Tao Huainan deliberately acted coquettishly, his voice soft.
A couple passing by on the opposite side glanced at Tao Huainan as they passed by. Chi Ku pulled out his arm, took his hand, and said, “Level three.”
“Why is it only level three?” Tao Huainan blinked in surprise and asked at a loss.
Chi Ku said, “Don’t hug or lean on your shoulders outside.”
“Why?” Tao Huainan asked again.
“No reason, others don’t.” Chi Ku said.
Tao Huainan walked silently for a while, then squeezed Chiku’s palm and whispered, “I know.”
Chiku put his hand in his pocket, and finally went around two more streets to buy a cup milk tea.
The physical changes that come with growing up are embarrassing and awkward.
After Chiku changed his voice, Tao Huainan often covered his mouth, thinking his voice was ugly.
When he came back from school, he gave Tao Huainan a speech, and Tao Huainan suddenly raised his hand and covered his mouth with a smile.
The child smiled and ducked to the side: “Shut up! It’s too ugly! You’re not my little brother!”
Chi Ku took his hand away, stood up and said, “Then learn by yourself.”
It’s annoying, but it sounds ugly, but I heard people really stand up and want to go, and immediately put their arms around Chi Ku: “What are you doing, little brother!”
Chi Ku said: “I’m not your little brother.”
“You are! Tao Huainan raised his face, smiling facelessly, “It’s not a little brother, it’s a puppy! Wang Wang!”
Chi Kuan was so annoyed that he said, “I’ll take a bath.”
“Then I’ll go too,” Tao Huainan Braille Cone After throwing it, he stood up and hung it on Chi Ku’s back to go to the bathroom together, “Wash together.” The
boy’s body gradually became longer, and Tao Huainan was not measured.
Chi Ku gave up two steps, he followed two steps, smiled and said to Chi Ku, “Slippery.”
That night Chi Ku was hugged to sleep by Tao Huainan, and he didn’t let go when he fell asleep. In the dream, Chi Ku was also taking a bath, and Tao Huainan rubbed him with bubbles. Later, he pressed Tao Huainan against the wall, and Tao Huainan was bitten by him on the neck.
In the middle of the night, Chi Cheng woke up and went to the bathroom. He got up together, Tao Huainan half-opened his eyes, grabbed his hand and asked, “What are you doing, little brother?”
Chi Cheng cleared his throat and said, “Toilet.
” Huainan closed his eyes again, “Then come back soon.”
“Let’s go, boy, go see the red morning glow, bring my love song, you sing it in the wind…” The
heartless boy also has his mind when he grows up. Tao Huainan began to have little secrets on his mobile phone. He listened to some messy novels with headphones every day, and he often got confused when he heard it.
Tao Huainan fell asleep on Chi Cheng’s leg, Chi Cheng took off his earphones, and took out his cell phone from under his arm to turn it off for him.
The screen lit up, Chi Cheng glanced at it and frowned. Put the phone aside and see everything in a mess.
Tao Huainan was lying on the bed with his legs crossed, unable to escape.
“You just have a problem, don’t tell me if you’re hot?” Chi Cheng threw down the scalding cream, “You’re still lightly scalded, you don’t need to be embarrassed if you’re scalded.”
“You can tell me…” Tao Huainan pouted, squeezed the pillow in his hand, and hummed, “It hurts.”
“You should.” Chi Cheng said.
The boy who had just started to develop, the poor part was burnt red, hissing and screaming in pain.
Chi Cheng pinched him lightly. The cotton swab was dipped in ointment and carefully applied.
The scalding ointment was oily and uncomfortable, Tao Huainan said softly, “I still hurt…”
Chi Cheng lowered his head and blew it on him, exhaling.
Tao Huainan laughed at first, then moved his legs after a few seconds.
He gradually changed in Chi Cheng’s hands, and the boy’s reaction couldn’t deceive anyone. Chi Cheng paused for a moment, Tao Huainan licked his lips, stretched out his hand and pushed Chi Cheng’s hand away: “Okay, okay.”
He knocked off the cotton swab in Chi Cheng’s hand, and Tao Huainan pulled the quilt next to him and messed it up. He covered himself with a cover, and his voice was covered inside: “Okay, wipe it off, turn off the lights.”
Chi Cheng looked at him, Tao Huainan tucked the exposed calf into the quilt, not knowing how ashamed Rarely felt embarrassed by the child.
“The dew hangs on the ends of my hair, full of transparent melancholy, which is the first confusion in my life…”
A pair of brothers who grew up tied together, close puppies.
They participate in each other’s lives, and all perceptions of the world go hand in hand.
They kissed behind closed doors in small rooms and groped each other’s feelings in empty homes. Tao Huainan straddled Chi Cheng’s lap and kissed Chi Cheng’s mouth.
“Puppy…” Tao Huainan pursed Chi Cheng’s lips and muttered a name that only belonged to them, with confused affection in his eyes, and said, “You hug me”.
Chi Cheng stroked his back: “Why don’t you hold it?”
Tao Huainan turned his head to touch his earlobe, and said softly, “I will always love you.”
Chi Cheng smiled and said, “Be quiet. It’s fine.”
“I haven’t been mad at you for a long time,” Tao Huainan asked as if asking for credit, “Am I good?”
“Good.” Chi Cheng gasped and kissed him.
Good children are more ruthless than others.
Chi Cheng stood in the room, leaning against the wall. Seeing that Tao Huainan took out a paper cutter from under the mattress, gently stroked his sleeves, and there were deep and shallow knife marks on his arms.
Chi Cheng forgot to even breathe, and watched Tao Huainan slash down with his own eyes.
Tao Huainan slashed Chi Cheng’s soul with a knife, and Chi Cheng didn’t even say a word for a few minutes.
“When years and beauty have become sighs in the dust, there are old tears in your sentimental eyes…”
Chi Cheng connected his mobile phone to the charger, his roommates were robbing tickets in the dormitory, and he mobilized the whole dormitory to help him grab a piece.
“Hey, brother Chi, are you going home for the New Year? Help me grab it for you tomorrow.” The roommate said.
“No,” Chi Cheng opened the book and said indifferently, “I won’t go home.” “I won’t go
back during the New Year?” the roommate asked in surprise.
Chi Cheng only said “um”.
My brother has been to Beijing many times, and Xiaodong will always be my brother.
Once Xiaodong almost dragged Chi Cheng onto the plane, but Chi Cheng didn’t come back in the end, he just said, “Brother, I can’t get over it, I have to leave when I go back.”
“Then when will you get over?” Tao Xiaodong He was also worried, and said, “Don’t look at your brother, don’t you have a brother here?”
“I know, brother,” Chi Cheng told him when the two brothers were sitting on the steps, “when I can Get over it and go back on your own.”
The scar on the chest has faded a year on the surface, but the one in my heart is still clear.
Chi Cheng never mentions his younger brother to anyone. People around him only know that he has a brother, and the two brothers have a good relationship.
He started working on his own projects and also developed several small software.
Someone asked him: “Brother Chi, why do you always study projects for blind people? It’s a thankless effort!”
Chi Cheng didn’t answer at first, but after others asked him several times, Chi Cheng said casually: “Because my brother is blind. ”
Chi Cheng and Shi Kai are both in Beijing, and they meet occasionally.
Every year before returning home from winter vacation, Shi Kai asked Chi Cheng if he would return, if he wanted to book a flight together, but Chi Cheng never answered.
But one winter, Chi Cheng was patted on the shoulder while walking on the road.
“Damn it, brother, you even lied to me?” Shi Kai bumped Chi Cheng’s shoulder, “I think I admit the wrong person! Brother Chi! You are my brother! You just don’t want to go with me. ?”
Chi Cheng was also quite surprised, it was a coincidence, he could only shake his head and laughed and said, “It was decided temporarily.”
“Then you’re going home?” Shi Kai has been speculating about his relationship with Tao Huainan, but I never asked, and I didn’t ask so thoroughly at this time. I just said, “Are you going to live with me?” Chi
Cheng shook the key in his hand and said, ” No.”
Kay took a mobile phone and took a small video for Chicheng.
He took the phone and said, “I want to leave your evidence.”
Shi Kai is a good friend, like Chi Cheng and Tao Huainan. Chi Cheng said, “Don’t send it.”
“Don’t send it,” Shi Kai said with a wicked smile, “It will definitely be useful in the future.”
Chi Cheng went with him.
Shi Kai held up his mobile phone, looked at Chi Cheng in the camera, and asked, “Brother Chi, have you seen Huainan?”
Chi Cheng said: “I see.”
“Xiao Huainan has changed, not like a child like before.” Shi Kai said.
Chi Cheng looked at the dead tree outside the glass window, thought for a while, and said, “It hasn’t changed much.”
“I believe in the age of love, but the songs that I couldn’t sing to you will make me reminisce all my life…”
Xiaodong hit He called and said, “Brother, let me tell you something.”
Chi Cheng held his cell phone and ate while listening.
“Your brother said he wanted to go too,” Tao Xiaodong discussed with him over the phone, “He has time on vacation, why don’t I take him with me?”
Chi Cheng paused for a meal without saying a word.
“If you don’t want it, then don’t take it with me. I didn’t tell him to go.” Xiaodong said, “You decide, see you.”
Chi Cheng thought for a few seconds and said, “Take it with you.”
Xiaodong was silent for a while there, and then he asked tentatively, “Are you going normally? Don’t let me lead your brother back and you won’t be able to go.”
Chi Cheng picked up the phone and put it to his ear, lowered his voice. He nodded with an “um” and said, “Go.”
Fan Guo and Guo Yiming were there to study their next project, Chi Cheng didn’t listen, and he couldn’t listen.
After a while at the expressway, he bumped into his brother. Chi Cheng sat in the back row of the car, closing his eyes and feeling like he was on fire.
There was a video on the phone, Chi Cheng didn’t watch it, just listened to it with headphones.
Shi Kai asked with a smile: “Xiao Huainan, do you miss your brother?” The
drunk boy answered honestly and obediently: “I miss him every day…
” He, “I’ll throw it here for you?”
Chi Cheng said, “Yeah”: “I’ll go to my brother’s car.”
“There is a business in front of you, it should be waiting for you.” Guo Yiming said, “Go, brother Chi.”
Chi Cheng got out of the car with his bag on his back, and walked to the parked business car step by step. Before opening the car door, Chi Cheng took off his earphones and put them in his pocket.
Door pulls open.
There was a boy in the last row, wearing short-sleeved shorts, very clean and handsome, but with some bruises and injuries on his body.
Chi Cheng’s eyes swept across him as if he was inadvertent, he smiled and called Xiaodong “brother”.
The boy yawned halfway, and stopped on the spot, forgetting to even breathe.
“I believe in the age of love, the songs that I couldn’t sing to you, I will often reminisce in my life…” The
singing stopped, Tao Huainan still held the guitar and played the last note. He couldn’t remember the next sound, he was almost playing it by feel. He was still smiling, his eyes fixed on a point in the void, and his fingers plucked the strings unhurriedly.
Listen to a gentle song and watch a gentle movie.
Tao Huainan, the protagonist of the story, just said one word is not enough, no matter which word is still a little thin.
Who do you sing for?
He’s my love, my brother, my… puppy.
After all the notes were played, Tao Huainan’s hands covered the strings again, ending this long and flat melody.
The warm yellow light was still hitting him, and Tao Huainan was still sitting on the high stool, as if he had just finished watching a movie.
The light spot in Chi Cheng’s eyes was still clear. He was so timid that he could only hide behind the crying little boy, but now he can sit calmly in front of so many people and sing to him.
Before the lights were completely dimmed, the movie played the last scene, like an Easter egg for the gentle audience.
Hot summer, scorching heat.
The pale boy huddled on the bed without making a sound, hugging his knees and curling up into a ball.
Chi Cheng had endured him for several days, but he couldn’t bear it any longer.
The boy couldn’t hold his strength and was dragged to his knees on the bed. Hearing Chi Cheng said he was going to the hospital, he began to cry and scream like a collapse.
He has never lost his temper like this, like a child overwhelmed by his emotions, he cried recklessly and embarrassedly, threw himself on Chi Cheng and hugged him tightly, crying until his throat was split.
Chi Cheng kissed him.
The boy screamed and cried, “I’m scared, little brother”.
He was so scared that his lips were as white as his face, and his whole body was trembling in Chi Cheng’s arms.
Chi Cheng held his boy the whole time, kissed his forehead, patted his back, and lifted his face from himself.
Tao Huainan said again: “little brother, I’m afraid.”
“I’m not afraid.” Chi Cheng wiped his tears and snot, wiped the boy’s face clean, touched his head and said, “It’s okay. Son, grow up well.”
The author has something to say:
Cub: Thank you sisters, we have grown up.
There you go.
Thank you for these four months, there are all kinds of emotions in the process, and it will be good to watch after the end. Writing bamboo horses must be more heart-wrenching, since last night, my heart has been empty. But the story has to come to an end, and the children have grown up.
Hope the children in the story and their brothers and friends are all well, and their sisters outside the story are all well.
Whether it is my lovely friends or my friends, I am grateful for your support.
(This song is called “Lian Lian Feng Chen”. It is an old song. I have liked it for many years. You can search and listen to it. The original version cannot be surpassed. I sincerely request.)
