Lamb > Chapter 99—Besib 6
At nine o'clock in the evening, as usual, the boys were urged to go to bed. Besib made a simple and quick prayer like brushing his teeth, but he felt that he had finished speaking. He prayed that the Virgin and God would bless Chegal, their "Tang", and his father, oil. Pippin's Pepi, the craftsmanship of the unparalleled old Andriana, Meyare, Toto, "nails" - I hope he will heal soon, and Hopkins father and son.
He lay flat on the bed with his face up, his hands crossed over his chest, his eyes closed, his movements, and his heart and soul waiting for the arrival of drowsiness.
The hour hand has gone through a half circle, the boy with the name of the big devil thinks he should have planted a dream or a nightmare, but he His mind was always noisy, full of all sorts of messy things: he went to see "nails" this morning, and he has been staying at home for a few days, although it looks very good. However, the father of "Nail" still does not allow him to go out. It is also quite helpless for Besib. After that incident, the "nails" have become more hostile to Hopkins. He refused to give them Any one of them apologizes or expresses goodwill, even if in fact, they saved his life.
"Tang will not be happy to see his guests being treated unfairly." Besib said sincerely.
He didn’t expect the "nail" to blurt out: "He is confused!"
Do not Xi Bu was shocked to the ground. He wanted to know why the "nail" had such a thought, but the "nail" just sinked his face and said nothing.
The pointer jumped and jumped over several scales, but Besib’s brain became more and more awake, and the heart slammed the drum in his ear. In the distance, the sound of the waves hitting the stones, intermittently mixed with a few tentative whispers, and the sorrow on the roof, it may be a mouse - the mouse on the island can grow to the weight of Christmas turkey It is also possible that seabirds are in the breeding season, and they will gather at breeding sites at night to reduce the chances of future generations being hunted.
His back and limbs are faintly painful, his neck is like being inserted into a steel tube, and the soft bed suddenly becomes unbearable.
Besib turned out of bed, dressed quietly and quickly, opened the window, and the cold, humid air poured into the lungs. He took a few deep breaths and felt great. He climbed the window sill and the window sill was narrow. He sits on top of it, and the outer legs and toes can touch the stone walls and roof tiles. The touch of the tiles is very strange. Like the shells, some places are extraordinarily rough, while some places are smooth like porcelain.
The light pollution of the city cannot be touched here for a while, the night sky of the island is pure and deep purple, the star is small, but dense, glittering like a diamond of good quality They watched the boy crawling out of the window agilely and lightly, rubbing his toes, stepping on the spine of the lower roof, shaking a little, and walking to the end of the ridge with fear, looking down, black and dark A piece of steep wall has neither a raised window sill nor a stair or anything that can be used for climbing. However, this can not help but do not say Xibu, he carefully recognized, and finally found the big chestnut tree, although this tree can not compare with the "Hundreds of big chestnut trees" growing on Mount Etna (because it once accommodated 100 The knight is famous for hiding from the rain. The huge and amazing, but also has a very broad chest and extraordinary height. The dense and strong branches cover the courtyard of a basketball court that is one-fourth of the size. I just skipped the three-four-foot gap that was purposely trimmed so as not to completely block the sunlight. The child jumped out of the ridge like an olive cat, his body stretched in the air, pulling Long, in the blink of an eye, he had seized a branch that had already been seen, and the big tree of the mother-in-law grabbed him easily, like a flat plate caught a chocolate bean.
A branch followed by a branch, the boy fell off the tree in a few minutes, the whole process is no more difficult than going down the stairs.
After falling on the wet grass, Besib stood in the darkness with a breath, and he couldn’t hear the snoring of the adults. But the house was quiet, and no one thought that he was not in his room. Unlike other places, on Poseidon Island, except for certain special days (such as when collecting turtle eggs), children who dare to go on a night trip will be severely punished because they will be too busy to "work". The adults - curiosity and cleverness can not be used here - Besib is not a well-behaved child, but he is better than others to know what is called the rule and the bottom line, this is his first I tried to step on the thin, ruthless line... He knew that he shouldn’t do that, but somehow, there was always a voice that constantly encouraged him, just like a thorn on his body. , forcing him to give up a comfortable sleep, risking a whip to run out of the room late at night.
For a moment, he said to himself, going out from the chestnut tree and walking around the olive grove, it was only half an hour, then he could go back to bed and go to bed.
***
Pepi opened the door of Besib but could not see it To the things he wanted to see, he dared not to squint up and down, his eyes finally stayed on the open window, and he immediately walked over and found that the window was blocked by an uncut pencil and could not be completely closed. Tang’s old man immediately looked down. All he could see was the chestnut trees that stretched out countless branches from the shadows.
"What happened?" Old Andreana stood at the door, clutching her shawl with one hand and clutching the other with her hand. The so-called "sports" pistol with a hollowed out handle to reduce weight, the insurance has been opened and the muzzle is directed at the ground.
"Besib ran out," Pepi said. "Do you know where he will go?"
  ; & nbsp; & nbsp; "I do not know." old Andrea Jana calmly replied:. "we have to go."
& nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; Perpignan hesitated for a moment: "Wait until I leave a letter to him." He pulled out his gun, quickly spun on the muffler, and fired a shot on the solid wood shutters that swayed in the night wind. The powerful bullet flew half a window. - If the child comes back, you will know that it is not safe.
There are a few young people who left with them. They just received a notice from Don, this house is no longer a protected place. Old Andriana walked to the end, shutting down all the doors, windows, electric gates, and the main valves of the water pipes.
& nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; ***
& nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; "Don" mansion in nine twenty, when suddenly The explosion ignited a fire, and the fire illumined the entire courtyard, and the face of Besib.
The responsive boy did not hesitate to get into the olive grove, he heard the barking, the gunshots, and the last sound of the dead Screaming and screaming, he ran back without a head, crossed the entire olive grove, and got into the rose bush. The rose bush was as tolerant as the olive grove, and not tall enough. Besib only had hands and feet and crawled in the ground. Avoiding the search of the unscrupulous, the thick stalk on the rose stalk scratched his face, bare arms and feet.
Besib didn't think how quickly he would meet someone - he just got out of the rose bush and almost hit the "nail" face to face.
Besib wants to talk, but he was too nervous before, and he couldn’t make a sound for a while.
"Nail" took a step back, and Besib found that he was neatly dressed, and the thin boy looked at the person in front of him with a dull look, Besib Didn't see such a complicated expression on his face - joy? Anxious? fear? Suddenly? There may be others, he groaned a few words, and Bessib couldn’t hear what he was saying. He took a step forward and wanted to grab the “nail” hand – he wanted Of course, the person who hurts "Tang" will not be a friend of Toto. He can't let "nails" stay here alone.
"Nail" continued to step back two steps, Besib caught an empty, and then he looked at the "nail" in a horrified way...
"He is here! Besib is here!"
There is a second, quiet around The ground is like a cemetery. It seems that even the burning sound of the fire has disappeared, but in a blink of an eye, the air around it has re-boiled, and the roar of the dog group has come here immediately.
Bishb wants to escape, but the "nail" rushes over and hugs his waist from behind, his feet tightly entangled Besib's.
If it was a few hours ago, Besib had enough strength to get rid of this despicable burden, but he had consumed too much energy before, his The nails broke into the flesh of the "nails", and the "nails" did not move and did not move.
Besib knows that he should kill the "nail", he is a traitor, a seller, but he is also baptized with Besib, together with bedwetting I wandered together, went to school and skipped classes, teased the teacher, and beat the brothers intimately, even if it was once.
There is another thing that makes him more painful - on the island of Poseidon, the underage son may only be the vassal of the father, they will not violate the father The intention of the sale of "nails" means that his father Toto has also betrayed "Tang", the leader of "Masoye", Chegar - he did not know that his eyes are full of tears. Besib’s fingers began to work hard. He could break the “nail” arm and then the neck. At that time, no matter who came, it would be useless. The “nail” would definitely die in front of him.
