Celestial Masters Alliance

I looked in the direction he was pointing, and not far from us there was a very decadent man with a shaved head, wearing an khaki pullover, black leggings, and black Martin boots. He was smoking a cigarette and puffing away smoke. Looking at us. When he noticed that I was looking at him, he didn't shy away. Instead, he got up and walked towards us.

"Zhu Mo?" His voice was filled with joy. I looked carefully, but couldn't remember who he was. I asked Zhao Shuang with my eyes, but I didn't know that this idiot was sitting aside and meditating, as if the matter had nothing to do with him.

I stood up politely and looked this person up and down. He grinned and pointed at his teeth. There was some backlight where he stood, and when I got closer, I realized that his front teeth were pointed, like wolf teeth. "Huang Xiao!" I shouted with a smile, raised my fist and hit him in the chest.

Huang Xiao also laughed and immediately hit me back: "You have some conscience! You haven't forgotten that these two teeth were given to me by you!"

"Can you blame me? You are stupid!" I put my arm around his shoulders and asked him to sit next to me. I threw a can of beer to him and asked Zhao Shuang to clink glasses together.

"I remember it was the winter when I was in second grade. We took the bus together to see the ice sculptures. You were curious about the frost on the windows. I told you to bite your teeth on the window frame, and after a while something like a popsicle would run away automatically. Enter your mouth. I didn’t expect you to really believe it. When the bus passed through a pothole, half of your front teeth were knocked out. After I got home, my dad spanked my butt until it was swollen for half a month!" I shouted excitedly.

Huang Xiao punched me again. Zhao Shuang glanced back and forth at Huang Xiao with his sharp eyes, which made me feel a little uncomfortable. Is there some gap between him and Huang Xiao?

I patted Huang Xiao and asked affectionately, "Why are you here?"

Huang Xiao looked at me sideways: "I came back to see grandma off. I just got my leave yesterday. It's too late to come back. My mother scolded me so much that she couldn't stay any longer. She ran to grandma to look for you, but you weren't here, so I had to wander around. .This is not a coincidence."

A man's way of resolving embarrassment is either drinking or smoking. Huang Xiao was a little embarrassed, and Zhao Shuang's sharp eyes were aggressive. Huang Xiao took out a cigarette and handed one to me. I quickly waved my hand: "I don't smoke!"

He looked at me with a somewhat sinister look and said, "Yo! The naughty boy has become a good boy!"

I rolled my eyes at him: "Bah! Most of the places where I go out to work have methane gas. If I don't want to die accidentally, I'd better not develop bad habits."

Huang Xiao pouted and passed the cigarette to Zhao Shuang. Zhao Shuang took it and put it on the corner of the table. Huang Xiao lit a cigarette and started smoking: "My mother said you are a veterinarian?"

I raised my eyebrows: "Well, I specialize in treating animals. Do you want me to take a look at it for you?"

"Tch!" Huang Xiao flicked off the ashes of his cigarette, picked up a beer and touched it with me: "We haven't seen each other for more than ten years!"

I didn’t know whether he was referring to the three of us or him and me. I glanced at Zhao Shuang and he turned away. I couldn’t figure out the meaning of this action and had to reply to Huang Xiao: “Isn’t that right! Grandma’s 80th birthday. You didn’t come back, you didn’t even respond to grandma’s wake, you only showed up after grandma’s funeral, what a shame.”

Huang Xiao scratched his head, pursed his lips and said, "I can't help it, I'm busy!"

I immediately stared at him suspiciously: "I heard from my second aunt that you teach history in a middle school, and you are not the main teacher. You are so busy!"

Huang Xiao lowered his eyes and put out his cigarette butt in the ashtray: "That's a private school!" I was still waiting for him to argue, but he stopped. I don’t think any private school would be willing to take the blame for such an unkind thing. I found myself taking the topic to an extremely awkward position. The air was silent, and I seemed to be unable to find a topic.

Suddenly Huang Xiao looked directly into my eyes and said: "Humans are social animals based on interests. It is impossible for me to let go of reality and worry about someone."

When I heard this, I immediately became angry, glared at Huang Xiao and shouted loudly: "The connection between people is not just about interests, and longing is not illusory. It can become motivation, support, and can warm people's hearts."

Zhao Shuang looked at me sideways after hearing this, patted my shoulder and put his hand to his mouth. Seeing my excitement, Huang Xiao quickly raised his hands in a gesture of surrender: "Okay, okay. I have to leave the day after tomorrow, can't we just reminisce about the past?"

I stood up and looked at Huang Xiao condescendingly: "What does reminiscing about the past mean to you? Can it be transformed into real benefits?"

Huang Xiao also stood up and pulled my arm, trying to get me to sit down. I threw his hand away, and he whispered a little aggrievedly: "I was wrong, okay? I was just scolded by my mother, and I'm a little emotional. Can't my brother be more tolerant?"

I looked at Huang Xiao, who was half a head shorter than me, and began to wonder where I got my anger. He quickly picked up the beer and touched Huang Xiao's: "Drink too much, I'm a little heady! The color is a steel knife for scraping bones, and the wine is a poison that penetrates the intestines. It's better to drink less in the future!" After saying that, he raised his head and took a big sip, Huang Xiao also I took a sip and pulled him to sit down with me.

I looked at Zhao Shuang and asked him for help. The idiot stared at Huang Xiao and refused to say a word. I sighed helplessly and tried to divert everyone's attention: "You can see our school from here!" I pointed in the distance.

Huang Xiao turned around and looked cooperatively: "Yeah! It seems that there have been quite a few changes. Shall we go and take a look?"

When I came back from paying the bill, Huang Xiao was almost at the school gate, while Zhao Shuang was leaning on the table with his elbows back and looking up at the sky. I walked over and pulled him and whispered: "What are you doing? We are all brothers!" He remained silent, glanced at me with a frown, stood up and followed me.

The guard guarding the school gate was lying on his back on the bench in the guard room and taking a nap. The radio next to the table was playing an unknown song, which seemed extremely comfortable. We quietly climbed over the iron gate, because it was the weekend and the campus was deserted. The campus has changed a lot. The garden that used to be full of willow trees and flowers has disappeared and turned into high-rise buildings. We didn't dare to stay at the door any longer and walked around the tall building to the playground. The originally empty playground has been divided into some areas to build high-rise buildings, and now it seems a bit crowded.

Huang Xiao ran under the basketball stand and made a layup: "It would be great if I could play basketball with you."

I looked around and saw a small concierge in the corner of the playground. There was a white and yellowed plastic sign standing in the upper right corner of the door. The red glue word "Ti" was pasted on the sign, and the words behind it were missing. I think it was the sporting goods room. "Huang Xiao, look over there!" I pointed to the concierge.

Huang Xiao immediately glanced in the direction of my finger, quickly turned back to me and said, "Let's go! Take a look!"

I pulled Zhao Shuang, and he put his hands in his pockets, looking absent-minded.

On the front of the concierge are six connected wooden-framed windows, all equipped with reflective frosted glass, making it impossible to see what's going on inside the house. There are two green-painted wooden doors facing each other on the side. The paint on the door is severely peeled off, and there is a hole the size of a fist in the corner of the door. It must be the work of a mouse. The old door bolt was very rusty, and it was locked with a big lock that was even more rusty. Huang Xiao gently raised his hand and pushed. The door bolt broke with a "click" and the big lock fell off the broken door and hit the ground.

We were all shocked. Huang Xiao raised his hands in a gesture of surrender. I smiled guiltily and said, "It broke on its own, it has nothing to do with us!" As I said that, I peeked at Zhao Shuang, who was looking at the lock that fell on the ground expressionlessly. Seeing Huang Xiao's hesitation, I pushed past him and pushed the door open. The door did not open slowly with a creak as described in horror novels, nor did it suddenly open with a "boom" like in suspense movies. Instead, it " The whole fan fell to the ground with a bang. I turned around blankly and looked at Zhao Shuang and Huang Xiao. Zhao Shuang covered his mouth and laughed muffledly. His shoulders shook and his waist bent. He turned around and walked towards the flower bed, laughing as he walked. Huang Xiao patted my shoulder lightly: "I have deep inner strength."

"Stop talking nonsense, go in and take a look!" He said and walked into the dim cabin. Huang Xiao followed closely behind.

There was an old musty smell in the house, and the sporting goods were piled up fairly neatly. We found the basketball without any effort, picked a usable one from the basketball hoop and hurried out of the house.
