Su An checked the place where he came in several times, and after confirming that the door had disappeared, he walked into the dilapidated house resignedly.

It's really hot inside the deserted house.

The land was dry and cracked due to lack of water, and the tall weeds were wilting. The plum rain outside is the scene of May and June, but it is midsummer inside, and the scorching heat distorts the air slightly.

Su An walked into the house, beaded beads of sweat remained on the eyelashes, making her eyes hurt. He wiped his face, and when he looked up again, the dilapidated house in front of him suddenly became brand new.

The middle-aged woman with a sallow complexion hurried out of the house with a handful of vegetables, as if she couldn't see Su An, and went to the yard to wash the vegetables.

The man sitting on the bench in the room was holding nails to fix the table, "Damn it, where is the hammer?"

The middle-aged woman in the yard said: "In the table! He Dagen, I have told you so many times, why can't you remember it!"

The middle-aged man sighed and muttered, "I'm deaf, I can't hear."

He Dagen?

Are they He Taosheng's parents?

After the woman finished washing the dishes, she hurried back to the main room, "Father, our son wants to eat some meat, why don't you go buy some meat?"

The man sighed and didn't want to go, but he stood up and clapped his hands, "OK."

Su An subconsciously followed the man out.

The scenery outside is completely different from the reality. The sun is so big that it can burn people to death, chickens and ducks are walking all over the ground, and two or three steps away, there is a dog lying in the shadows with its tongue out to dissipate the heat.

There is no rain, no puddles everywhere, and no high threshold against zombies.

Su An didn't see He Taosheng, so he just followed his father to buy meat. The pig butcher's house was slaughtering a pig. As soon as He's father stepped into his house, a smile appeared on his distressed face, " Hey, Brother Liu, I want a catty of meat."

The pig butcher was also surnamed Liu. He glanced at Father He indifferently, cut a piece of fatty meat with a strong smell and threw it on the scale, "One catty, fifteen yuan, give me the money."

The scale clearly shows less than one catty.

But Dad He seemed to be used to it, he took out the money from his pocket with a smile, "Brother Liu, this piece of meat is too fat, can you give me another piece of leaner meat?"

"Fat meat is great!" Brother Liu stared fiercely. "In the past, when people bought meat, they only bought fat meat. Are you not happy if I take care of you and give you fat meat?"

Cursing in a low voice, "Sure enough, it belongs to a foreigner, mother-in-law."

Father He closed his mouth, slowly bent his back, lifted the meat, and walked out the door in silence.

Su An followed Papa He not too far away, and after passing an intersection, Papa He suddenly straightened his back and shouted: "He Taosheng!"

Su An walked up to Father He, turned her head to look to the left, a group of children were fighting, yellow dust flew up, and rolled into mud monkeys one by one.

As soon as the adult's voice came out, a group of children scattered in a rush. The child who was surrounded and beaten got up from the ground, and chased them with clenched fists, full of unyielding anger, "Don't run! I'm going to beat you up!" cry!"

Su An was in a trance, Father He had already walked over quickly, and angrily grabbed He Taosheng's ear, "You can't beat anyone alone, who else do you want to beat and cry?"

—"Su An, you idiot! You don't know how to hide when they beat you? You can't beat yourself alone, who else do you want to beat!"

In my memory, a beggar who jumped out of anger slapped little Su An on the head, "You are so mad at me!"

"You're so mad at me!" Papa He carried He Taosheng and strode home, "I even bought meat for you, what a fart!"

He Taosheng glanced at the fat in Father He's hand, with a small expression of disgust, he said angrily: "I don't want to eat this meat, it's unpalatable!"

Su An suddenly smiled.

He Taosheng's ears moved suddenly, and he looked at Su An's position, but he didn't see anything.

The system said less and less in these worlds, but now it took the initiative to ask: "Host, what are you laughing at?"

Su An said: "I seem to see myself."

He paused, then added, "My own self in real life."

Su An was an orphan since he was a child, and was adopted by his adoptive parents when he was four or five years old. They treated Su An very well, but after the adoptive mother became pregnant, she was afraid that she would not be able to support Su An and would not be able to give equal care to the two children, so she broke down and cried because of her emotional sensitivity. The adoptive parents struggled for a long time, and finally decided to send Su An back to the orphanage.

Su An overheard their conversation and ran out of the house that night. He thought that even if he didn't go back, he could support himself. A child's innocence and anger were worn out by reality. Su An lost his way, had no food and no place to sleep, and was almost abducted by human traffickers. Fortunately, a beggar saved him.

Su An was raised by beggars.

He is not a good boy, he can steal food, pick locks and open doors and windows, beggars have taught him a lot, these things are not good things, but they are things that will allow him to live long.

He has done a lot of things that he would be scolded as a "bad boy" once he said it, and not admitting defeat is one of them. When he was bullied by other children, his fists were still clenched, thinking that I would punch him back, punch him I run when I get back.

Su An regards beggars as family members, and he doesn't think there is any shame in being raised by beggars. It's just that after he became sensible, he knew how bad what he had done was. On the surface, he pretended to be very arrogant and high-minded, as if you are not worthy to play with me, but in fact he has a little inferiority complex, especially when facing the person he likes—

Su An was taken aback, and smiled strangely.

Has he ever liked someone before?

Father He has brought He Taosheng into the house.

Time in the illusion became very fast. When it was time for dinner, He Taosheng ate a mouthful of meat, chewing and swallowing it silently. He said before that he didn't like meat, but now he stuffed it into his mouth mouthful.

His father and mother secretly laughed, "This kid even said he doesn't like food, he lied."

Su An observed carefully for a while, "He really doesn't like to eat fatty meat."

"I don't like to eat either," he shrugged, "but I can eat anything when I can't be picky."

The system said: "Really, I think He Taosheng likes to eat."

Su An skillfully said: "Because he doesn't want to make his parents sad. I think he will vomit up all he can eat, but he will not be willing to take a bite when he thinks about his parents, so he will bear it if he wants to vomit."

Unable to hold back, Su An sighed: "This kid is really..." He looks so much like me.

It's like applying my experience to him.

After dinner, He Taosheng went out to take a bath with his father. When he knelt down, his face turned pale, and he suddenly raised his hand to cover his mouth, as if he was about to spit it out.

Father He patted his son on the back, "Son, did you make any friends today?"

He Taosheng said sullenly, "I'm not happy to make friends."

Father He said "Ouch", "You are so powerful, you don't even want to make friends with others."

He Taosheng lowered his head even lower, "Hmph."

At night, He Taosheng was lying on the bed, and Mother He walked into the room and put a glass of water for him by the bed, "Shengsheng, your father said that you were beaten today."

He Taosheng buried his head in the pillow and quietly shed tears.

Su An stood aside and looked at him, paused, leaned over, and gently stroked the back of He Taosheng's head.

He Taosheng suddenly raised his head, "Who touched my head?!"

Mother He asked strangely, "What's wrong?"

He Taosheng looked around blankly, got off the bed, put on his shoes, pushed his mother out of the room, and groped inch by inch in the empty room.

"who is it?"

Su An stood in the corner, watching him slowly touch where he was.

The little hand waved and passed through Su An's body.

"Strange," He Taosheng whispered, "There is nothing."

Su An put her hips on her hips and smiled, boy, if you want to blame it, blame it on the big one. You don't want you in the illusion to see me.

He Taosheng suddenly said: "Did you come to find me as a friend?"

Su An's heart softened, and he stretched out his hand to gently stroke He Taosheng's hair.

He Taosheng's eyes widened slowly, and the light of surprise bloomed, "Wow—are you Fengshen?!"

Su An flicked his forehead with her fingers, rolled her eyes and said, "Go ahead and dream your dreams, brat."

Su An didn't respond to what He Taosheng did afterwards. But He Taosheng was still very excited. He didn't fall asleep until late at night. After he closed his eyes, the next second, the moon set quickly in the west, and the first sun peeked out, and the sky was already bright.

He Taosheng opened his eyes abruptly, his soft black hair curled up all over the place. He rubbed his eyes and whispered, "Fengshen?"

A gentle breeze blew through his messy hair.

He Taosheng grinned, jumped out of bed, and ran out refreshed, "Mom, I'm going to collect firewood first!"

Whispered, "Fengshen, come with me, I'll take you to the river to play!"

It was so early in the morning, and there were almost no people by the river at the west end of the village. But for He Taosheng, the happiest time is when no one is around. He walked carefully from the bridge over the river to the opposite side, picking up firewood at the edge of the woods.

After picking it up, it was still early, and He Taosheng ran to the water's edge, sharp-eyed and saw a dilapidated doll under the bridge.

He Taosheng ran over, held up the doll, his eyes lit up, "Wow!"

Su An suddenly felt a dull pain in his head.

He rubbed his noisy temples, bit his back teeth, and vaguely listened to He Taosheng's words from afar.

"Doll, I will give you a chance to be my friend." The child's earnest voice made people laugh, "First, I want to give you a name."

His voice gradually became Su An's voice when he was a child.

At that time, Su An lived with the old beggar in the bridge hole by the river. He had no friends, but one day, he picked up a doll under the bridge.

The doll was extremely beautiful, neat and intact, as if it had been placed there specially. Little Su An let out a "wow", hugged her in her arms in surprise, and said domineeringly: "You will be my friend from now on. La."

"First of all, I want to give you a nice name!"

The four or five-year-old little beggar has no culture, but he said with a straight chest: "To be my friend, your name must also be nice. My name should be two characters, and your name should also be two characters. Well matched."

The little beggar thought for a long time before hesitatingly said: "I was born in the orphanage, and the dean's mother said that I would have the last name of the orphanage, which is Ping An. You were born by the river, so your name is Jiang Sheng OK?"

His voice became smaller and smaller, and he said nervously and inferiorly: "Isn't it too nice to hear?"
