I feel very, very sorry that they didn't line up properly, sing the national anthem in unison, and left in a hurry.
I looked at Ah Xing and said, "Why are you so flustered, why don't you sing well? We agreed!"
"It's a pity that we also talked about it later. But at that time, everyone was in a panic, and some children were so frightened that their faces turned green!"
"Did the police ask you anything?"
"I asked, where did the golden retriever catch us and what did they force us to do."
"What else?" I was not satisfied.
"The police also said that a child reported the case, so let's say it was Ultraman. The police asked where Ultraman was, and they were looking for you."
I became nervous: "They don't know I'm here?"
Ah Xing answered: "I will discuss it with Ah Huang, and after confirming that you reported the case, I will tell the police."
I was in a hurry: "No! Don't say it!"
"Didn't you do meritorious service? The police came to you to give you a bonus."
"I'm also planning to report to the newspaper and find a reporter to come to Edinburgh to interview you. That guy, you will become a celebrity in no time!"
"Stop it! I don't want to be famous."
"What? I just want to help. You have to keep a low profile?" Ah Xing was not reconciled: "Let's put it this way, I want to help you, and it is my good fortune to help you. Tell me, what do you want me to do! "
"I think, I want to stay peacefully with Beichuan for a while, then find his brother and hand him over to him. Then, think about how to find my father"
Ah Xing said: "Anyway, my attitude is here, and I'm going to do something for my friend!"
Ah Huang said: "Altman can no longer wander, let him live in your house?"
"That's impossible. Mainly my mother"
"I'm throwing bricks to attract jade. When you throw a small brick, your horse's feet will be exposed, let alone jade! Some things are only reliable if you have a friend in need like Ah Huang."
Ah Xing made a grimace.
"Actually, when I come tonight, I just want to take Ultraman to my house. I live with my grandfather. He doesn't care too much. He is a good old man."
"That's a good idea. Altman, Ah Huang's parents have been doing business in Foshan, and they basically don't come back. His grandpa likes to play mahjong, likes to pick up trash, and doesn't care about things. Where you live, we can often play together. "
"I have to think about it."
While saying this, he has already made a decision in his heart¡ªI think Beichuan must be the same as me, longing for the light on the small table, the smell of rice, and the feeling of the bath water rushing on his body.
I long for home.

However, the scene of Ah Huang's house was beyond my imagination.
A white energy-saving lamp hangs from the ceiling, illuminating the garbage in the room, and we stand in the middle of the room, as if we are standing in a big garbage pit, because the surrounding garbage is almost piled up to the ceiling. The air in the house smelled peculiar, like a shed rat's nest, and stronger than a rat's nest. In short, this smell belongs to sewers and dirty animals.
Ah Huang felt a little guilty: "I'm used to it, I'm just afraid of you"
"To clean up."
Ah Huang hugged me: "Altman, I just want to have an older brother, so you can be my older brother."
"Don't do this, we men, don't do this."
The things in the two rooms were all picked up by Grandpa Ah Huang from outside. Old furniture, torn clothes, and plastic bags filled every corner. The outer room is both a living room and a dining room, and there is a TV set on the small dining table, as well as Ah Huang's textbooks. The door of the inner room was blocked by garbage, and the garbage piled up on the bed, and Grandpa Ah Huang slept on the garbage pile. Through the rusted iron grille of the window, one can see an oak tree in the light outside the window. The leaves are so green, wide and thick, which makes people feel amazing.
"Oh, your grandpa must have suffered a lot when he was a child."
"How to say?"
"He has lived too many poor days in the past, so he treats everything he sees as a treasure."
"He picked up trash because his parents left home."
"Also," I didn't know why I started to boast, "Haven't you been a mouse for a long time? Grandpa used to depend on you for life, but after you left, he felt even more lonely, so he fell in love with picking up trash. People need something to do, they need to be enriched, and they need a sense of accomplishment.¡±
"What you said is really reasonable. When I was at home, he also picked up, but picking up useful things is not so much. Why do you"
"Well. I'll boil the water, you can take a bath."
"Thank you. But, this letter from these neighbors," I pointed to the note, "what should I do? Your grandpa can ignore it, we can't pretend we don't know."
"Yeah, I'm in a hurry. You analyze it and come up with an idea."
Just as I was talking, Grandpa came back. We jumped into Ah Huang's little bed, huddled together and pretended to sleep, not daring to move.
He was a tall old man with gray hair, and he was dragging a big bag of things. Needless to say, it was garbage and smelled of swill.
He turned around in the room and immediately made suspicious discoveries. He stretched out his hand to touch it, stomped his feet on the ground again, cursed fiercely, raised his crutches and hit us on the bed.
We immediately rolled in all directions. The moment the crutches didn't find us again, I quickly opened the door, grabbed Beichuan and ran away.
"See you in Black Edinburgh!"
After shouting at Ah Huang, we fled to the quiet street.
The scenery at night is different from that during the day, it is completely another world, like a dream, I can't tell the direction for a while. Kitagawa held my hand tightly.
A strange big cat came out from the shadow of the tree. It seems to be dreaming, and it seems to be looking for something, its head is lowered, and its footsteps walk out of the winding curve. I crouch down. On the streets at midnight, it comes oncoming.
"Meow - who are you looking for?"
I try to make my voice low and weird, not human-like, but not scaring it.
"Meow." It said, a pair of big eyes glowing darkly, firmly and sternly, staring at me.
I said: "Big cat, if you are really powerful, go find the golden mouse, he must be hiding nearby. How about finding him and eating him?"
It took half a minute to understand what I meant, knowing it was a difficult problem, and pretending not to understand, gave a slightly apologetic "meow", turned around and walked into the shadow of the tree.
