HBWnovel Chapter 37 Remembrance
Chapter 37 Remembrance
The reason for the rain was that there were almost no people on the street, only a few people sheltering from the rain standing here and there under the eaves.
The scene of Yi Ning being pursued by those unscrupulous teenagers was seen by those hiding from the rain. Some people saw that Yi Ning was young, so they guessed that he would not be able to run behind those who were a few years older than him, so they wanted to help Blocked, but finally stopped under the eaves by the pouring rain.
And Yi Ning's pace became slower and slower. The child was still catching a cold, and he walked for a long time by himself. Although he took advantage of those people's unpreparedness and ran a lot of distance, he was still exhausted and was about to be chased. His ruffians catch up.
At the end of the run, even Yi Ning himself had the idea of giving up and running away.
If you are beaten, you will be beaten, he thought dejectedly.
But when the people behind were still more than one meter away from him, someone suddenly rushed out from the side alley and grabbed Yi Ning's hand tightly.
The person who was chasing after him was startled by the person who appeared from nowhere, subconsciously stopped, and Yi Ning was also taken aback, before he could react, he was dragged into the room by that person alley.
Yi Ning didn't have any extra strength to break free from the hand of the person in front of him, so he could only blindly be led by the person behind him, and ran forward stumbled.
The wind and the rain came one after another, and the raindrops were as dense as a hard barbed wire fence. Through layers of obstacles, he saw the person in front of him hastily turn his head and shouted to him.
The roaring rainstorm filled everyone's ears, and the man's words were blurred by the sound of the rain.
But Yi Ning still keenly caught his voice.
He said.
Come with me, I'll take you out.
In the wet and cold rain, all senses were infinitely magnified. Yi Ning heard the loud shouting and scolding from behind, and felt the scorching warmth coming from the back of his tightly clenched hands, and began to rush to his heart like a wave. , repeatedly covering the newly born fear and helplessness.
So he held the man's hand instead, in order to prevent the loss of heat and prevent the slippery rain from separating them.
There were more and more people chasing them, the sound of rain, shouts, footsteps... that person seemed to be starting to feel tired, he held Yi Ning's hand tightly again, and tried his best to shake off the chasing people behind him. The man hid sideways in an alley.
They scurried back and forth in the alley, their bodies were soaked by the downpour, and their footsteps became slower and slower. Finally, the man hugged Yi Ning and hid behind a large trash can placed at the door of a certain house.
He lightly pressed his hand on the top of Yi Ning's head, and whispered, "Don't be afraid, I will protect you."
Yi Ning snuggled into his arms, trying to raise his head to see the man's appearance clearly, but the raindrops were like beans, and his eyelashes dangled, his eyes were raw, as if they were full of shattered glass shards, and in the end he had already parted. I don't know if it's the rain or my own tears.
No, he only remembered the warmth of this man's embrace, and the dazzling red mole on the bridge of his nose, and he wanted to see more.
But he couldn't take it anymore, closed his eyes and surrendered to the darkness, and leaned his face that was falling raindrops on the thin but solid shoulder of the man.
In the dim darkness, he heard the rain thumping on the empty dumpster beside him.And he knew it wasn't just the sound coming from the box.
In his heart, in his beating chest, in his world of nothingness and nothingness, spring is beating.
It has nothing to do with anything else, just being pulled by someone while sinking slowly into the swamp. The child thought he was abandoned by everyone this afternoon. He originally felt that his life was gloomy and the future was hopeless, but someone gave him a spring that he was caught off guard. A good, bountiful, splendid spring.
The rain gradually stopped.
They hid behind the trash can for a long time, until the sound of footsteps ceased to come from outside the alley, the young man let go of Yi Ning in his arms, and helped him stand up.
Water drops slipped from his forehead and flowed into the corners of his eyes. Yi Ning's eyelashes were wetted by the rain, sticking together one by one. He opened those wet and transparent eyes in confusion, blinking quickly and uncomfortable from time to time. , looking like he hasn't recovered yet.
Seeing his absent-minded look, the young man looked down at Yi Ning's face covered with mud again, and couldn't help laughing when he suddenly remembered something.
He tilted his head and thought for a while, then wrung out his sleeves, bent slightly, and wiped Yi Ning's face with his hand.
But before touching Yi Ning's cheek, the child habitually dodged to the side, as if he didn't like being touched by others.
The young man was taken aback, his hand just stopped in mid-air like that, he couldn't move up and down, a little embarrassed.
Yi Ning was startled, and then realized that his actions seemed to embarrass the young man.
The young man had good intentions and just saved himself, Yi Ning thought it was impolite for him to do so, so he lowered his head, put his cheek next to the young man's hand, and waited quietly for his wiping.
The young man smiled, feeling more and more that Yi Ning resembled the kitten he often fed. He squeezed his sleeves tightly and carefully helped Yi Ning wipe off the rain on his cheeks.
"Those people are hooligans here. They don't like to go to school. They just like to look for people younger than them to grab money. Almost everyone who lives here has an impression of them," the young man gently wiped the mud spots on Yi Ning's face , "You are considered unlucky, just happened to run into them."
Yi Ning pursed his lips and didn't respond.
The young man didn't care, he took two steps back with his hands on his hips, and asked Yi Ning, "Where do you live, go home quickly, you'll catch a cold if you don't change clothes immediately after being drenched like this."
Hearing this, Yi Ning reacted slightly, his hands hanging beside him began to pinch his sleeves, as if he was a little nervous.
The young man noticed Yi Ning's actions. To be honest, he didn't quite understand, but he didn't intend to understand. He had already done what he should do to help the kid get here. He is such a big man, so he doesn't need to go home by himself. Let someone else take care of it?
He smiled, a naughty dimple emerged from the corner of his mouth, he stepped forward and patted Yi Ning on the shoulder, and said: "Then I'll go first, you hurry home, turn right out of the alley and keep going, you can see the city The south gate of the hospital, remember, go where there are many people."
After speaking, he didn't say anything more, turned around and was about to leave.
"Wait a moment!"
The boy turned his head, with a questioning look on his face.
With his hands behind his back, Yi Ning twisted his clothes in a random way, and he asked in a hoarse voice, "May I ask, what's your name?"
The young man grinned and said, "You're welcome, my name is Ding Wu, Erbi Ding, Wu of Wutong."
After speaking, he turned and left.
Ding Wu walked to the place where the dog was released before, and shouted into the shop.
The shop owner led Ah Wan out, saw Ding Wu's drenched body, and exclaimed: "My dear, come in quickly, Auntie will bring you a towel to wipe off."
Saying that, the shop owner turned around and wanted to go into the shop to get a towel for Ding Wu.
Ding Wu quickly stepped forward to hold the shop owner, "No need, Auntie, I'll go home and change immediately, thank you for showing me the dog."
The owner of the store talked and talked, but Ding Wu didn't go in. He just thanked the owner with a smile, and then led Ah Wan back home.
As soon as he opened the door of the yard, he ran to check the condition of his own flowers and plants. Fortunately, it didn't rain for long.After seeing the condition of each flower, Ding Wu went into the house and took a hot bath with peace of mind.
Steaming hot air overflowed from behind the door, and Ding Wu came out wiping his dripping hair.
The young man's thin and powerful muscle lines were looming under the damp white T-shirt. He put the towel on his shoulders, hummed a song and walked to the yard, taking his time to deal with some messy flowers and plants.
After the summer rain, there are often some surprises. Ding Wu took a deep breath of fresh air and looked at the passionate and short-lived burning clouds in the distant sky with a smile.
Although the day is long, it always burns like a banner and disappears in the raging flames. The brown-red color of the warm sky is there to prove it. There is no slight rendering and deviation to prettify and destroy it. Dan is unable to picture one hundredth of it.
"It's really interesting," Ding Wu sighed, "How much time does it take for a person to get acquainted with a little bit of this world."
Uncle Lin especially likes to raise roses, tall ones and short ones, colorful and bright red are scattered in every corner of the yard.After Ding Wu tied the brackets for each rose tree, he habitually glanced at the bowl lotus he planted.
He planted the bowl lotus in spring, but it didn't bloom at the time he predicted after summer.
Ding Wu didn't hold much hope at first, he just took a look at it casually, never thought that Wanlian would bloom today.
The thin light-colored petals are supported by the stems. Although they are a little thin, they have a unique style. Ding Wu approached happily, ready to appreciate them carefully.
Suddenly, there was a sound outside the courtyard door.
