Fang Wencheng was silent. He didn't speak any more. He thought that he hadn't mentioned it.

Xie Ruhe carelessly side head, the window down. Cold air poured into the car in an instant, with a thick moisture. He looked steadily out of the window, a little absent-minded.

For a long time, Xie Ruhe opened his mouth, with a light voice and a light smile.

"When he dies, I'll see him."

In my impression, Xie Ruhe was beaten by his father Xie Ji not many times.

Others are saying that the Xie family has a habit of drinking. When they are drunk, they lose their humanity and only beat their wives and children. At the end of the small house, there are always men's drunken swearing, things crashing on the ground, women's restrained crying.

Xie Ruhe thinks they're all right, except for "beating his wife and children".

Before the second day of junior high school, he had never been beaten by Xie Ji.

Only when Xie Ji is away can there be a moment of peace at home.

In addition, the atmosphere is always depressing, like a suffocating cage. Father decadent like a piece of mud, the mother's face always with a gentle smile, but always tears.

In such a growing environment, Xie Ruhe's temperament became gloomy and quiet. Apart from Ji Xiangning, he doesn't care about anything and doesn't think he will have a future.

He felt that he could not escape from this hell.

Xie Ruhe first found out that Xie Ji was fighting Ji Xiangning. It was the day when he first met Shu Nian and went home with her umbrella.

Introduced by his neighbor's uncle, he skipped class to deliver goods to Li Hong. Busy for a long time, but no harvest, only to see a baffling girl. He is small and has a baby face that will be bullied at a glance, but he seems to think that he can save the world.

Walking out of the residential area, only one street lamp was installed on the secluded path. It was dark and quiet all the way, and there was no one but him. All the way to the end, I saw a house with a faint light in the window.

Xie Ruhe looked at the house, while walking through the pocket, but only turned out a piece of sugar.

Only then did he remember that he didn't carry the key when he went out.

Xie Ruhe put the sugar back in his pocket, went to the door and knocked three times.

There was the sound of footsteps, light and rapid.

The door was opened.

Ji Xiangning stood in the porch, with a dry towel in his hand, and his eyes were all red. Her hair was a little messy, and her body was covered with long clothes and trousers.

"Ah ho is back." She said in a dumb voice.

Xie Ruhe nodded, put the umbrella on the top of the shoe rack, and silently took off his shoes.

Ji Xiangning handed the towel to him, and his voice was a little rustle more than usual, with some difficult meaning: "take a bath first, mom will talk to you later."

Hearing her tone, Xie Ruhe's eyelids moved.

The house was very quiet, except for the snoring from the master bedroom when Xie Ji was asleep, there was no other sound. The warm yellow light didn't make the old and narrow house warm.

Xie Ruhe looks at her like thinking.

A few seconds later, he took out the mango jelly from his pocket, wiped it with his clothes and put it into her hand. Looking at Ji Xiangning's eyes, he finally spoke.

The voice is low and dumb, but it is very nice with the natural moistening of youth.

"A sugar, please."

When Xie Ruhe came out of the bathroom, Ji Xiangning was sitting on the sofa in the living room doing handicrafts.

Her head was drooping, her hair was scattered, and she could still see some white hair in the dim light. Wearing worn-out clothes, compared with previous years, it seems to be more than ten years old.

There is also a hot meal on the table. Xie Ruhe goes to sit beside her. He was about to pick up the chopsticks. The next second, his eyes stagnated and he looked at Ji Xiangning's neck blankly.

Just at the entrance, Ji Xiangning carried the light, but Xie Ruhe didn't notice. At the moment, sitting close to her, although the light was dark, he could still see clearly -

Ji Xiangning's neck was a red mark pinched out.

Xie Ruhe fixed his eyes on her neck and said softly, "what's the matter with your neck?"

Smelling speech, Ji Xiangning subconsciously covered his neck with his hand, reluctantly said: "it's OK, you eat it quickly, it won't taste good when it's cold."

Xie Ruhe lowered his head, his dark eyes reflected the candle in front of him, flickering: "did my father pinch it?"

Ji Xiangning reluctantly smile: "your father is drunk..."

"He's not drunk any day."

“……” Ji Xiangning shook his head and explained for Xie Ji, "he just misunderstood me. Just explain it. There won't be a second time."

Xie Ruhe clenched her fist and felt unbelievable about her understatement. She got up and went back to the room.

Soon, Ji Xiangning came in, stood beside him and sighed: "ah he, if you don't want to stay here, I'll contact your grandfather and send you to him, OK?"Xie Ruhe heard her mention Ji Xinghuai and looked at her: "are you going?"

"I have no face to go back." Ji Xiangning wry smile, "and your grandfather does not like your father, I can't let your father stay here alone, no one to take care of him."

His mother, desperate for love, became blind and ridiculous.

She always believes that Xie Ji will wake up. It's just a matter of time. As innocent as a little girl.

Xie Ruhe lay on the bed and covered his eyes with his arm: "forget it."

“……”

"I have to take care of you."

Maybe it's because he hurt Ji Xiangning. After he woke up, Xie Ji realized that he was wrong and felt guilty. He didn't drink as much as he used to, and he gradually came back to being a man.

Xie Ruhe doesn't have to skip classes to deliver goods to replace his family.

Later, he heard what shunian said for Xie Ji.

"I didn't help Xie Ruhe or his father. I just don't think we can jump to conclusions. It's a very serious crime. No one can bear it. "

At least in Xie Ruhe's opinion.

Xie Ji is really a scum, but he will not do such a thing.

Xie Ruhe doesn't really care what other people think of Xie Ji. But when he saw that shunian was ridiculed by her classmates for this explanation and comforted him in turn, he had a very strange feeling.

It's very strange and fascinating.

Also let him, gradually put all his attention on the body of the book.

This happened in the small town, but shunian was always on his own.

Afraid of her accident, Xie Ruhe began to read along with the book.

Also slowly with her relationship.

When Xie Ruhe came home from his 16th birthday, new year's Eve had already passed and the dawn of the new year was coming.

That night, for some unknown reason, Xie Ji drank again. He seems to be in a very bad mood and says some ugly words to Ji Xiangning.

Ji Xiangning urges Xie Ruhe to return to the room quickly.

Xie Ruhe pursed his lips and looked at Xie Ji with disgust.

Xie Ji saw his eyes, anger up for a moment, picked up the cup next to hit the past: "damn! Beast! What do you think of your father? Can't you call people? "

It was a sudden move.

Xie Ruhe didn't react at all. The glass hit his forehead and made a big hole. The blood ran down his cheek and dyed his eyes red.

Ji Xiangning obviously didn't respond. After a few seconds, he screamed like crazy and went forward to tear Xie Ji: "are you crazy?! That's your son

Xie Ji waved her away and roared hysterically: "you are just crazy. Get out of here! I tell you! Don't fuck me with that dog man next door, you have to dare to betray me! I'll kill you! I'll kill you directly! "

His face was red, like a devil from hell.

Anger to the extreme, as if no human nature.

Xie Ruhe didn't have much reaction. He covered the wound with one hand and went to help Ji Xiangning up.

Ji Xiangning tears straight off, no longer speak, turned out the medicine box, to Xie Ruhe to deal with the wound. In an instant, she seemed to wake up. All the excuses she used to make for Xie Ji were shattered by his actions.

Ji Xiangning can stand anything.

She can endure Xie Ji's drinking all day long, not making any contribution to the family; can tolerate him talking rudely to her and punching and kicking when he is not awake; can tolerate him distrusting her, always doubting whether she has other men outside.

She can stand anything. All of them, she can bear.

But when these things happen to Xie Ruhe.

Only once did she wake up from her dream.

She can suffer, but never with Xie Ruhe.

Her only son.

Bandage Xie Ruhe's wound. Ji Xiangning looks back at Xie Ji and wipes his tears. It still looks embarrassed, but it seems that it has changed back to the former rich woman who was superior, saying word by word: "we are divorced."

This is the first time Ji Xiangning mentioned divorce, even Xie Ruhe thought she was just impulsive, but her attitude is very firm. No matter how she begged, she had no sign of turning back.

Ji Xiangning with Xie Ruhe moved out, looking for an apartment to live for a short period of time.

I'm afraid shunian will run to his house if he can't find him.

Xie Ruhe took the initiative to find her at shunianjia.

The wound on his head is not good, the bandage is still bleeding, it looks very serious.

Originally, shunian was very happy because he came to her. But when she saw the wound on his forehead, she immediately put away her smile and said, "how did you get hurt..."

Xie Ruhe didn't answer her question: "I recently moved to the apartment on the street with my mother. If you have something to ask me, go to 304 on the third floor instead of my former home."“……” Shu Nian pressed his lips hard and asked again, "how did you get hurt?"

Xie Ruhe raised his hand and touched the wound. He didn't hide it any more. He said honestly, "my father smashed the cup."

Shunian stares at his wound, and his voice becomes louder: "I heard Chen Hanzheng talk about your father's domestic violence before, but I still don't believe it. He's breaking the law! Even if you are his son, he can't hit people at will! "

Xie Ruhe didn't say a word.

Shunian has never encountered such a thing.

She has seen some uncles and aunts beat their children with clothes hangers in a hurry, but it is not as serious as Xie Ruhe. Her tears fell as she said, "do I have to call the police..."

Xie Ruhe said, "no, I moved out."

"Will he come to you again..." At a loss, Shu Nian gave out a sob and stood on tiptoe to see his wound. "What can I do? How can there be such a person..."

Xie Ruhe repeated: "it's OK."

"What's all right?" Shunian sobbed in a soft but firm voice. "I have to tell your father that he is wrong. How can you hit people with a cup! It's going to kill people! "

Xie Ruhe feels a little strange. Seeing that shunian is crying like this, he is in a very good mood.

He stopped her: "aren't you afraid that he will hit you?"

"I have nothing to fear." Shunian sniffed, "if he dares to hit me, I'll call the police. I can ask my father to go with me. He can't beat my father."

She also shed tears, eyes like a washed glass ball, bright and mellow. The eyes are all red, and the cheeks bulge slightly, like a piece of rice cake.

I know that I will be hurt, but I will never look back for him.

Looking at the moist on her face, Xie Ruhe had an impulse inexplicably. The color of his eyes darkened, the corners of his mouth bent slightly, and he soothed her softly.

I was thinking about something else.

He wanted to lick her tears and taste it.

This is shunian's tears for him.

Xie Ruhe thinks little by little and takes it all for himself.

It must be sweet.

It's like, it's a sweet taste.
