Chapter 93: Past fragments

The white light flashed again, and the southern wind blown grass for three days. Hongjun and Lu Xu suspended above the willow embankment, watching his father prop up a small boat. As a child, he lay on the side of the boat and looked at the fish in the lake.
The mother suddenly threw out her slim jade hand on the side and splashed Xiao Hongjun's face. Xiao Hongjun was stunned, and her mother laughed.
Hongjun and Lu Xu couldn't help laughing.
During the thunderstorm, a black jiao flew in the temple at the top of the mountain to become Yang Guozhong.
Hong Jun and Lu Xu looked at the courtyard, and Yang Guozhong stood next to Kong Xuan under the gallery, looking up at the rain.
"He was not the one who forced us to move." Hong Jun said.
"It's also strange to say." Lu Xuanduan Kong Xuan and Yang Guozhong were surprised, "How can your father sometimes have hatred against the prison, sometimes like a friend?"
Hong Jun frowned: "For several years, maybe they have reconciled. Or, was deceived by the jail ... Do you hate him?"
Lu Xu replied: "Life is impermanent, old age, sickness, death, always doomed, what is the use of hatred? If I were not under control, my father and mother would not die, just like you, and I killed my father and mother."
"It is the prison that can cause all this," Hong Jun said seriously.
"The wood has become a boat, what is the use of hate?" Lu Xu said, "Moreover, the prison will die sooner or later."
"You see the future?" Hong Jun asked.
"I believe." Lu Xu replied.
From spring to autumn, with yellow leaves drifting and the scene changing, Hong Jun suddenly returned to Chang'an many years ago, and at that time, he had grown up and ran out of the hospital quickly, unable to look back.
"Kong Hongjun!" Mother's voice shouted.
Xiao Hongjun made an ah, and gestured to Xiao Li Jinglong on the courtyard wall. Xiao Li Jinglong immediately hid behind the courtyard wall, and Xiao Hongjun hurried into the flower garden, pretending to look down at the earthworm.
"Mother went out." The mother sorted the embroidered bags in her hand and said, "Shangxi City sells things. What do you want to eat at night?"
"All good." Xiao Hongjun answered boringly.
"Why haven't you yelled at meat lately?" Jia Yuze asked in surprise, and went out.
"Why was my family so poor when I was a kid." Hong Jun said.
Lu Xu replied: "When I was young, my family was poorer than yours."
Hong Jun couldn't help crying and laughing. The former mother actually had to embroider something to feed the family. The father didn't see a figure, and it seemed that he went out to practice medicine to make money.
"Brother! Brother!" Xiao Hongjun shouted towards the wall.
As a child, Li Jinglong raised his head again and said, "Your mother is gone?" As she put down a crooked rope ladder, Xiao Hongjun climbed up, and the two of them collected the ladder.
Hong Jun and Lu Xu flew over the wall. At that time, Li Jinglong was less than ten years old, opened a food box and handed it to Xiao Hongjun.
"Look you are hungry." Lu Xu said blankly.
Hong Jun looked almost self-confident. When he was a child, he was too shameful, but Lu Xu immediately comforted: "When I was a child, I ate everything. My family was too poor, and I couldn't eat enough."
Hong Jun didn't know who to blame. He looked sad when he was a child.
After eating, Xiao Li Jinglong and Xiao Hongjun played chess in front of the gallery. After a while, Xiao Li Jinglong spread out a book, and Xiao Hongjun taught him to meditate and practice.
"Why are you always unhappy?"
"Because there are monsters in my heart."
"Is the monster in your heart depressed?"
"..."
"Can be cured, rest assured, wrapped in brother."
"Can't cure, my father and mother can't cure, noisy every day."
"Do you hate him?" Lu Xu said.
"I loved it too early." Hong Jun said helplessly, "Is there any way?"
Hong Jun and Lu Xu sat side by side on the wall. Time passed and the sun was shining. Hong Jun began to feel a familiar feeling gradually, as if his memories belonged to him, slowly coming back bit by bit.
Xiao Jinglong taught Xiao Hongjun to jump around in the courtyard, and the two pushed and stumbled, bathed in the sun.
"What's the matter?" Li Jinglong said.
Someone outside called Li Jinglong, and Xiao Hongjun took a step back and said, "Someone called you here, go."
"Don't go." Xiao Li Jinglong was serious and looked at Xiao Hongjun with a smile.
Xiaohong Junfu was sad again.
"Brother teaches you to beat the pill." Xiao Li Jinglong took a wooden stick and kicked a ball. When the two of them played halfway, Jia Yuze came back and looked around in the room. Xiao Hongjun hurriedly climbed up the wall and said goodbye, two Everyone grabbed one side of the wall and looked at each other seriously. Xiao Hongjun stopped talking, and finally turned down and ran away.
Hong Jun said deliberately: "If there is a seven-year-old child, telling you that there is a monster in his body, would you believe it?"
Lu Xu was stunned, Hong Jun frowned slightly, and said, "Many children like to make whimsical words, no matter who they say, no one will believe it?"
Lu Xu Shen Yin said: "Do you think he has already become Di Renjie's pawn?"
Li Jinglong on the other side of the wall packed up the wooden sticks of Hammer Pill, and under the eaves, picked up a book and looked down.
"No." Hong Jun shook his head gently and said, "Look at his eyes, there is no such thing as a lie."
Lu Xu also found out that Xiao Li Jinglong talked to Xiao Hongjun at that time and always smiled. When he saw him, he smiled as if the whole person had become different. After Xiao Hongjun left, Xiao Li Jinglong still seemed to be happy, hearing the word from the next door, he couldn't help looking up.
Hong Jun suddenly said: "Can you find the memories of the day I first met him?"
"I try." Lu Xu whispered, and then closed his eyes, clenching Hongjun's hand.
Time went by, it was a late autumn, the Kong Xuan family moved into the courtyard, Xiao Hongjun just got off the carriage, and nine-year-old Li Jinglong crossed the back lane, carrying a bamboo tube, and there were bugs chirping in the bamboo tube, he Stepping into the house, I turned my head inadvertently and glanced.
Xiao Hongjun stood outside the carriage and stared at Li Jinglong.
When Li Jinglong looked at Hongjun, he stopped and froze on the spot.
Xiao Hongjun looked at the bamboo tube in Li Jinglong's hands and was very curious. No one spoke to anyone. Time seemed to freeze.
Kong Xuan said in the courtyard: "Hong Jun!"
Xiao Hongjun went in a hurry. Xiao Li Jinglong still seemed surprised with that face. Hong Jun thought what were you surprised?
"He's surprised you are beautiful." Lu Xu said.
This is Hongjun's world of consciousness, and Lu Xu felt it as soon as he moved.
Lu Xu said: "Look, he is dirty, most of the children he sees are not much better."
"Jing Long has money at home." Hong Jun smiled. "The friends he made should be okay."
Say so, but Hongjun ’s appearance and temperament when he was a child were different from those of mortals. He also saw it himself. Compared with Li Jinglong now, Li Jinglong was not as handsome as he was when he was a child. It is like a big kid who likes to run into trouble.
Li Jinglong ’s mother died very early, and no one took care of his food and clothing. He did n’t learn how to be a buddy until he was in his early twenties. Later, when he joined the Longwu Army as a soldier, he became heroic and accommodating. The charm of self-discipline. When I was a kid, the whole person looked oily, and it was not flattering at all.
"This is your first sight." Lu Xu said.
"It's quite ordinary," Hong Jun replied in a low voice. "You can't count it without speaking."
"I will look for you again." Lu Xu said again.
Lu Xu closed his eyes, the light was divergent, and the autumn was refreshing. Shortly after the Kong family moved in, the boxes and debris were still piled in the courtyard. Xiao Hongjun was obviously bored. He searched for something and found a book, which he had given to Li Jinglong. That monster picture scroll.
He lay in a pile of brie, flipped the scroll for a while, and fell asleep in the pile of cloth. It happened that Xiao Jinglong climbed up the camphor tree in his house, went to a bird's nest, and turned his head inadvertently. When he saw Xiao Hongjun who was sleeping in autumn, he forgot the bird's nest and lay on the branch and leaned out and turned down Look.
Xiao Hongjun fell asleep, and Li Jinglong looked at him for a while, and said to him, "Hey!"
When there was no response, Xiao Jinglong threw a stone and came to wake him up, but still no response—Xiao Hongjun looked at him cautiously and turned back to the house.
"This is the first time," Lu Xu said. "It's quite common."
Hong Jun thought that their childhood encounters had a kind of fatalistic meaning, but it was as ordinary as the countless trivial things that happened in the thousands of ordinary days and ordinary nights in this large world.
"The first time I spoke to him?" Hong Jun asked again.
Lu Xu replied: "I guess ..."
"Okay." Hong Jun said helplessly, "Although it must be very common, I still want to see it."
The white light passed by, still the wall.
Xiao Hongjun looked up and looked at the blue sky over the wall-a heavy lock hung on the gate of the courtyard.
Xiao Hongjun put his ear to the door and listened to the noise from outside. His expression was lonely and sad, just like a confined bird.
After listening for a while, he pulled out a weighing hook tied with a rope.
Lu Xu: "..."
Hong Jun raised his hand.
Lu Xu: "You have learned to climb the wall at this age. I'm still catching earthworms in the snow ..."
Hong Jun: "Stop talking ..."
Xiao Hongjun flicked the hook a few times, but did not catch it. After falling off, he got a good idea and turned to hook the wall of the neighbor's house. There is a tile on the door wall that is not easy to hook, but the yard wall next door is hooked.
Xiao Hongjun pushed hard against the wall and secretly went out through the other party's courtyard wall. He climbed up the wall in a huff, and suddenly a person appeared across the street. Xiao Hongjun shouted instantly, and Xiao Jinglong shouted. Xiao Hongjun never imagined that there was still someone climbing over the wall, and Li Jinglong stretched out his hand and grabbed him tightly.
"What are you doing ?!" Xiao Hongjun shouted.
"I let go." Xiao Jinglong said blankly.
"Don't!" Xiao Hongjun shouted busy, "Don't let go!"
"Called brother." Li Jinglong said, "You have a soft mouth."
Xiao Hongjun instantly blushed, and just happened to climb over when climbing the wall, but he remembered that he didn't hit it and shouted: "No!"
"Here I am."
"No!"
"I let go!"
Xiao Hongjun has never been bullied like this, and instantly wowed, crying, Xiao Li Jinglong hung on the wall with one hand, busy: "Okay! No! No!"
"brother……"
As soon as Li Jinglong withdrew, Xiao Hongjun became soft and shouted with tears in his face.
Xiao Li Jinglong was surprised in a moment. He didn't expect Xiao Hongjun to be soft. He immediately turned to the wall and rode, and pulled Xiao Hongjun up and hugged. Hong Jun, actually over the wall and jumped!
Hong Jun and Lu Xu looked in the air, looking curiously.
"Give you something, don't cry."
"Kiss you, don't cry ..."
"Oh, hey, well, don't cry!"
"I want to go home……"
"You taste this first, and then send you back."
The crying over the wall suddenly stopped. Xiaohongjun chewed something in his mouth. He pushed Li Jinglong, who was squeezing towards him, out of the way. The two children squeezed back and forth against the wall. Li Jinglong seemed to feel It was fun, and he laughed.
"What's your name?"
"It's Hongjun, isn't it? You are Dr. Kong's son ..."
"Don't go. I have more here, you see, this is more delicious ... yeah, come back, it's right."
Camphor leaves rustled and the summer sun dropped. The figure of Li Jinglong and the figure of Xiao Hongjun flickered and appeared in all corners of Li's backyard. Sometimes the two children were hammering pills. Sometimes they caught shrimp in front of the backyard fish pond and snow A snowman was also piled up.
The courtyard walls of the Li and Kong families were also removed and replaced by trees. At dusk, Kong Xuan stood in front of the trees and called Xiao Hongjun to go home. Xiao Hongjun waved at Li Jinglong and turned back to dinner .
As soon as Xiao Hongjun left, the courtyard gradually desolated, leaving the Li family empty.
"How about his father?" Lu Xu asked.
"Let's go on a trip," Hong Jun replied. "Either the bureaucratic office is busy. I used to say that his father was a military officer."
Xiao Li Jinglong returned to the room, ate a few snacks, and lay under the gallery to watch the sky. Next door heard the laughter of Hongjun ’s mother. When he listened carefully, it was Kong Xuan who told a joke that Hongjun was like a hairless chicken Li Xiaolong couldn't help but smile.
The light turned dim. Li Jinglong was lying on the couch and was ill. His forehead was covered with sweat and he couldn't breathe. In the dark room, Xiao Hongjun slowly approached the sick Li Jinglong.
Xiao Jinglong couldn't hold his breath, looking sideways at Xiao Hongjun, whispering: "Daddy ... mother ..."
Xiao Hongjun looked at him sideways, and Xiao Jinglong's chest undulated and gasped slowly.
Xiao Hongjun held Xiao Li Jinglong and put it on his body, so he held him so quietly and listened to his heartbeat.
"I'm so cold ..." Li Jinglong said, "What about your father ...?"
"Going away." Xiao Hongjun just hugged him like this, and whispered, "Long walk, brother, how are you?"
"I'm going to die." Xiao Jinglong answered, his chest like a bellows when speaking, "Come with me for a while ... don't go ..."
Xiao Hongjun jumped out of bed, ran out, and when he came back, he was holding a pack of medicinal materials in his hand and began to give medicine to the patient in the bed. Xiao Jinglong opened his eyes, his vision gradually blurred, and his hand was aimlessly grabbing and fishing Finally, Xiao Hongjun climbed into bed and gave him medicine.
Li Jinglong's face was pale, his body was trembling, and his teeth were clenched, but he couldn't pour it in. The medicine ran down the corner of his mouth and flowed on the couch. Xiao Hongjun tried it several times, and all ended in failure. Xiao Li Jinglong only had the anger to let out, and no more anger to get in.
