Luo Bei is twelve years old this year. He is currently in the first year of a junior high school in this city. His grades are fair in the class, and he is usually not the kind of naughty kid who likes to cause trouble. His mother, Zhang Li, is a nurse. Although she is busy at work, she has always been very concerned about his study and life. But in Luobei’s memory, he seems to have spent most of his first twelve years with himself. His mother lives together. Although he is not the kind of children who are mostly single-parent families in the society now, his father Luo Ting also loves him and his mother very much, but even if Luo Bei racked his brains for a long time, He may not be able to remember what his father looks like.
It seems a bit strange to say that, but it really happened to this child who was only twelve years old, because not only could he not see his father from time to time, but his family did not put too much in the same way as others. The photo of his father, even more strange, is that his mother seldom mentions his father’s existence every time relatives and neighbors come to the house, and unless it’s a certain day, his father will follow a report. Go back home from a long distance, back to this small room where he and his mother are.
"Ouch! My dear son, do you miss your dad? How are your grades recently? Let me hug you! Hey, the weight is quite heavy!"
The tall, handsome man always smiles happily when he is holding him and amusing him. Although he often doesn't even remember what grade Luo Bei was in, Luo Bei can still feel that from his father. An emotion of real concern. Obviously he hasn’t seen his father for almost a year. The last time he met was this time last year. At that time, his father had only been at home for two days and had no time to talk to him, but Luo Bei still couldn’t help it. I miss him. The most important thing is that Luo Bei can obviously feel that his mother is also missing her father who hasn’t contacted them for a long time, and thinking of this, the boy who was sitting in his small room doing homework put down the ballpoint pen in his hand. He rubbed his nose pretentiously.
Regarding his father's occupation, his mother seldom said that she would take the initiative, but her sensitive precocious Ru Luobei still vaguely knew that his father was a policeman. This kind of police should not be the kind of ordinary police uncles, but the kind who want to catch those big bad guys personally. This may be the reason why his father Luo Ting is always not at home, and for this, his His mother Zhang Li warned him like this after learning that he had guessed it.
"Don’t take your family affairs to school to talk nonsense, and don’t run around with strangers after school. Xiaobei, your father is very hard and dangerous at work, so we can’t cause him trouble, you have to Sensible, don't worry about your mother, okay?"
The woman’s haggard and thin face looked pitiful, Luo Bei nodded quickly when he heard the words, even though he didn’t understand the sadness and complexity in his mother’s eyes, he only knew what his father was doing. It’s a very dangerous and great thing, because from time to time, some formal uncles and aunts come to his house to sit, and every time his mother carries him while crying while crying and those with complicated expressions. The stranger whispered such words.
"I can understand, let him work hard. As a family member, we will never hinder him or the country... No, no, I am not short of money. I can live a good life with my children, so please tell him. , For five years and ten years, I am waiting for him to come home..."
His mother said this in a very low voice, but Luo Bei, who was lying in the door of the small room, heard it. At that moment, he suddenly felt a little bit to cry, and he seemed to understand their family. The kind of heavy responsibility that needs to be undertaken.
His father is constantly working hard to protect more people. Although he and his mother lost a lot of time with his father because of this, all this seems to be worthwhile. Because there are always some people who need to take on these responsibilities, even if this is not his Luobei's father, it will be someone else's father. As long as he thinks that this might happen to other children's families, Luo Bei has red eyes. After thinking about it, I decided to forget it.
He is only twelve years old. He still has a lot of things he doesn’t understand. His mother taught him a lot. Although he didn’t have his father’s education, he was still very sensible and independent as a boy. He knew that as a family The only male, he needs to protect his mother.
"Don't make your mother angry. Help me protect him. Your father and I are not here. You are the only man in this family. If any bad guys dare to bully your mother, do you know if you beat them?"
Luo Ting, before leaving home last time, teased Luo Bei half-truth, but he didn't know that his stupid son heard it completely in his ears, and he took it seriously. He naturally didn’t know that for Luobei, he had already understood the difference between his family and other people early. But just a year after Luobei’s father Luoting left home, one day Luobei discovered A strange thing happened.
Sometimes strange calls come from the landline at his house. Sometimes his mother receives them, and sometimes Luobei, who happens to be watching TV in the living room, receives unfamiliar calls. No one speaks at first. , Will hang up automatically in a while, and with these strange calls without caller ID, his mother Zhang Li seems to be a little restless, and one day his mother went to the district committee downstairs to pay the water bill. , When Luo Bei was the only one staying at home, that strange phone call came again.
In fact, when the phone rang, Luobei hesitated for a while, because he was the only one at home at the moment. He was very afraid of some bad guy calling him, but when he thought that his father was a policeman, it made no sense. Fearing these bad guys like paper tigers, the boy who was sitting on the sofa watching TV still answered the call with a pale face after hesitating for a while.
"Hey..."
The word in the mouth hadn't been spoken yet, and there was a voice from the other end. This time the call no longer hangs up suddenly like before, because the other end quickly rang a thick place The accented middle-aged man's voice, and accompanied by a terrifying and strange panting, the child curled up on the sofa only heard the man on the phone yell like a lunatic.
"Luo Ting has been killed by a few of our brothers!! We have suffered more than a dozen knives!! Dead!!! Dead!!! We are going to kill you soon! Kill your whole family!!! Kill!!! Kill!!! "
The phone was suddenly hung up, Luo Bei, with a pale face, covered his ears and buckled the landline in his hand. His immature thin body trembled with fear, and within a few seconds he cried out of control. His mind kept repeating the words that the terrible person just yelled there. There was no sound in the room for a while, and as long as he thought of the words that his father was dead, Luo was still a child. Bei's eyes flushed red and burst into tears.
His father is dead, killed by those bad guys, and his father will never... never come back.
While crying and shivering and wiping tears to himself, Luo Bei, who is still a child, has no way to control his emotions. He doesn't believe that his father died like this, but the words of the bad guy still scared him. It’s terrible, and just when the emotions were extremely complex and chaotic, this twelve-year-old kid suddenly thought of something, and it was this incident that made him stop crying, and even no longer whimpered. There was a sound.
Today’s threatening call was received by him. If it were his mother, it would be as sad and uncomfortable as him. The purpose of these bad guys is to scare his mother, so once they succeed, it will be true. They care. But now there is no sign to prove that his father is dead, and thinking like this in his heart, Luo Bei wiped his tears with red eyes. After a short period of recovery, the young boy even more He put the landline directly and sat back on the sofa with a lingering fear.
His mother will be back in a while. He is the only man in the family, so he has to protect her. He can't let his mother know about this, nor can these bad guys hurt his mother, because this is his father. Luo Ting seriously agreed with him before leaving home, and thinking about it this way, the twelve-year-old boy returned to his room calmly until his mother returned home and a week later. , He did not disclose this matter at all.
The call never came back. He went to school every day as before. His mother would suggest to pick him up, and then they would go home together, but Luobei would always carefully check if there was anything behind them. The strange person followed, after all, that terrifying phone call had been lingering in his mind.
He was afraid that someday someone would hurt him and his mother. But on the way home with his mother that day, he always felt that someone was following him and his mother, and just after Luobei was holding her mother’s hand, he couldn’t bear to look back. But he didn't see anything.
"Xiaobei, wait for mom here for a while, mom will go shopping for some food and come out soon, you just stand here looking at the bicycle..."
Standing outside the market and rushing to Luobei, Zhang Li nodded obediently when he saw his son carrying a schoolbag, and then turned to the vegetable market, because the people in the market at this moment are also in broad daylight. Zhang Li didn’t pay much attention for a while, but when she left, Luobei, who was staying in the same place, looked back and forth a little nervously, and when he couldn’t help but want to walk around, there was A tall shadow suddenly stood in front of him.
"Your mother wouldn't let you stop running around, why are you so disobedient."
The weird man with a cigarette rubbed Luobei’s head like this. Luobei took a step back in a panic, but was supported by the hands behind him. When he turned his head, he found one. The ordinary-looking elder brother who can no longer be embarrassed was looking at him helplessly, and seeing Zhang Li leaving, he followed them all the way to Xiao Nanzhu, who got out of the car in the third year of the junior high school, and looked at the monkey child with alarm He was ready to call the group of uncles around him at any time, and he raised his eyebrows and laughed.
"On the third day of the junior high school, you looked at this kid, I went in and followed Zhang Li, call me when there is any situation later, do it at will, make sure you are all right while protecting yourself, you know?"
With such an attitude, Xiao Nanzhu confided in earnest. Xiao Nanzhu didn't care about the embarrassment of stammering on the third day of the junior high school. Luobei and the third day were left outside the vegetable market together, but the atmosphere was a little embarrassing. .
Because from just a few simple words of Xiao Nanzhu, Luo Bei’s kid has guessed that these two people who suddenly appeared are not bad people, but may be people who came to protect him and his mother. San's appearance is not threatening, nor does he look like a bad person, and thinking of this, the boy who is not tall presses his lips and raises his head and glances at the third day.
"Well, don't be afraid, if anything happens, brother...I will take you away later."
Blushing and talking like this, I'm embarrassed to say that in the third year, but he was originally at the end of the list, if he encountered a terrible human murderer. Unstoppable, but when the boy stared at him like this, he was still nervous, and when he was at a loss as to whether he should just use the calendar on his body to make a paper crane for Luo Bei, the child suddenly dragged him. Grabbed his hand, then whispered and stubbornly red eyes,
"Brother...Are you also the police? You were my father called to protect me and my mother, right... Those bad guys said that my father was dead, they were lying... are they?"
