I always thought that I had an inexhaustible youth, and the road ahead seemed to be endless. Until that day, when my classmates looked at the freshmen who had just entered the school and sighed, "We are all old," I suddenly realized that I had been promoted to the second day of junior high school, and someone in this campus could call me Senior.

I am fourteen years old.

Fourteen years old is not a special age, or every year is a special age. But I wrote fourteen years old, so I have to make it special.

And I, a special fourteen-year-old, have reached the second half of the ninth inning.

At the age of twenty-four, SARS brought us a holiday without making up lessons. Every morning, I come to Lin Zijia on time. Because her family has all kinds of entertainment facilities. Then go out for a ride together in the afternoon.

Linzi and I are classmates who grew up playing together, and distant relatives are not as close as neighbors. In other words, it was often said in the class at that time that whoever we are, my things are your things, my mother is your mother, and my home is your home.

One night, it was bad. My parents went on a business trip all over the world that day, leaving me alone at home. Originally, I was going to Lin Zigu in the evening. As a result, we had a big fight because of Ding's trivial matters. I was very face-saving, so I shook my head firmly despite the persuasion of Aunt Yun (Lin Zi's mother).

I regretted it that night.

In the middle of the night, I was awakened by the sound of a piece of glass breaking, and then I heard the wind and the ghosts howling outside. I immediately turned a carp out of bed and instinctively touched the lamp switch-there was no electricity! The noise outside the window is chaotic, and I can't see my fingers in the room. I'm the only one. The wind in my ear sounds haunted, and the flickering light from the curtain seam has become a ghost fire. No matter how timid a person is, he can't help being timid in this situation! Besides, I'm not that courageous! It used to seem quite capable and brave, but it was all just crustily skin of head!

Just as I was about to shout "help", my doorbell rang.

I quickly got out of bed, even without looking for slippers, and stumbled to the door by touching the wall. At this time, I couldn't care whether it was grandma wolf or wolf outside, so I pressed the door handle with one hand.

Then I saw the Woods standing at the door with a flashlight.

Opposite, Aunt Yun waited for me to go in with the door open and a smile on her face.

Look, that's better to be a distant relative than a close neighbor. It's not like mom and dad. You two know how to play around outside, regardless of whether your children live or die.

While we were having a good time, we received the bad news that the universe was invincible-because the SARS epidemic was controlled faster than expected, the school decided to start classes ahead of schedule.

We are stupid. So the best friends got together, copied, copied, copied. We caught up with our homework, and it was the last night before school started.

I was crazy during the holiday. When I finally got my heart back, the school started the exam. The result is naturally a mess in the exam. I went to the second grade in such a fog.

At the beginning of the new semester, Lao Lang switched his seat first, and Lin Zi and I took the lead in retrogression, which was unforgivable. Naturally, it was switched off, and it was separated by a hundred thousand miles. My new deskmate is Xiaodi, as the name implies, a girl who reminds people of flowers and plants. Quiet, lady, petite, delicate and pretty, clever, these words are simply made for her.

What makes me more happy is that my back table is a handsome boy. In fact, it is not handsome enough, but because of being nice and smiling, people feel that their appearance is quite attractive. He is also a guy with a good personal relationship. There are buddies in the underworld and everyone calls him "Brother Long". Many girls have chased him, but Brother Long belongs to the kind of boy who has few strings in his mind. To put it bluntly, he is dull, and he doesn't care much about such things. I don't know how many innocent girls have been hurt.

The National Day is coming, and the school's annual autumn sports meeting is in full swing. At the class meeting, the registration went smoothly. It's time for the woman to get stuck at 3 thousand. Everyone is in a hurry. Finally, the wolf said, "Then it's up to you this time, Dee."

Then Xiaodi nodded calmly.

We haven't recovered for a long time. When we found out that Lao Lang told Xiaodi to run 3 thousand, we quit immediately. Xiaodi is usually a weak woman in our eyes. Letting her run 3 thousand is like asking Lin Daiyu to take part in a mountaineering competition.

Lao Lang patted the table and smiled and said, "What do you know? Xiaodi is the trump card of our class. People have been selected by the sports school to participate in training since elementary school, and they have also participated in competitions on behalf of our city. Although long-distance running is not her strength, it is the training content, so it is no problem for the coach to give more guidance. "

We were stunned at that time.

God, there are such hidden people in the world.

Xiaodi looked at everyone's incredible expressions, just smiled and said, "Don't worry, everyone, it's on me."

"Good job!"

The sports meeting came as scheduled.

Our class is far ahead in points. In particular, Xiaodi's 3,000 won the first prize. As soon as she was put back to work, we cheered and almost threw her up.

As for me, I applied for two items, one hundred and one thousand five hundred.

Actually, I've never run a long-distance race in a sports meeting before, but at the time of SARS, my father dragged me to run every morning, which made me feel good about myself. I didn't dare to report 3 thousand, so I reported 1.5 thousand to try.

It's about to leave. A large group of people are crowded side by side on a thin starting line, leaning forward one by one, like a flood that is about to flood.

"Take your positions, get ready-run!"

The flood burst its banks.

I immediately took out my strength to run a hundred times, and ran like crazy, leaving others a hundred miles away. At that time, I felt that it was a great feeling. But in less than a lap, my speed slowed down obviously, and I began to feel exhausted. I'm a little flustered. It's only three laps since I got there.

Running and running, my feet are getting heavier and heavier, my speed is getting slower and slower, and I am getting closer and closer to the people behind me. At the end of the second lap, a little man passed me.

The woods they immediately quit over there, one by one on the stool, longge standing in the front, holding a big flag desperately shake.

I'm just good at this. When I look at this situation, I immediately get excited and speed up my life. But soon I couldn't hold on.

In the last lap and a half, my hands and feet were numb, and I almost knocked down. But bite the bullet and never let the second man overtake me.

At that time, Lin Zi, Long Ge, Xiaodi, Dadong, Orange and A Tong jumped out of the runway. The Woods ran and shouted, "Hehuo, if you run first today, I'll ask my mother to make you a big plate of spun yam!" "

The spun yam made by Aunt Yun is my favorite dish in my life. Hearing this, I immediately sprinted with the determination to die, not only dumped the little man who followed me, but also miraculously caught up with the superego just now. Next to it, he shouted in unison: "Drawing yam!" I crossed the finish line with my eyes closed. I threw myself into the orange arms that came to pick me up. I was top-heavy, and I couldn't get up on the stool anymore. Then I coughed wildly. God, this 1.5 thousand run almost cost me my life. Lin Zi took a stool and sat next to me, beating me and asking, "You can't die, can you?"

I was just about to say "Be gentle in the Woods", but a mouthful of water stuck in my throat, which made me cough up even more earth-shattering. The woods to joke, increase the strength of a burst of crazy beat rotten hit. I thought bitterly while coughing, did I owe you money in the Woods?

After a while, Brother Long came over and said to Linzi, "Hey, Linzi, don't beat it. Look at the face of Hehuo, it's almost dead." I was thinking that Brother Long was ok, and I began to know how to be fond of jade. As a result, the second sentence behind him immediately made me give up the idea just now.

"Look, it's almost out of breath. Why don't you get paper and pen to make a will?"

Lin Zi suddenly realized and smiled and agreed: "Oh, right. Comrade Hehuo, if you have any last words, just say them. "

I squeezed two words through my teeth: "Go to hell!"

Recently, I have been eating more and more. Every day when I arrive at the canteen at noon, I will be like Gorky throwing himself on a book. A pot of rice will be stripped in five minutes. People around me couldn't stand it anymore, and they all advised me: "Hehuo, speak out when you encounter something unsatisfactory, and don't abuse yourself by gaining weight."

I said, "I don't know what's going on, but it's delicious to eat."

It took me a month to know that I was jumping up. Because unconsciously, I was almost as tall as the Woods.

It's a good thing to be long, but it's not necessarily a big appetite. I have to tie my belt tightly every morning, otherwise I won't last all morning. Once, my stomach barked a little louder, and the old wolf immediately slapped the table and shouted, "Who's singing down there? ！”

The whole class immediately collapsed with joy.

I blushed and thought bitterly at the bottom, Lao Wolf, you are so hard of hearing!

But then I was really hungry and something happened.

That day in physical education class, we were running in circles, so my eyes turned black and I fell down. Vaguely, I heard a group of people shouting my name in confusion, and then there was a sharp pain among them, and it must be the Woods again. I woke up in pain, put a hand through the Woods, covered my nose and cursed: "You are violent in the Woods!" "

"Ungrateful, can you wake up without me?"

I was about to open my mouth to fight back when Brother Long threw me a loaf of bread and said, "Remember to invite me to dinner."

I chewed it immediately without saying anything.

Afterwards, the old wolf forced me to eat in the morning.

If I had time to eat, I wouldn't be here today. I muttered.

I'm lazy, so I'd rather be hungry eight times a day if I want to make time for breakfast.

"Then you won't buy a meal and bring it to school?" The old wolf patiently enlightened.

"But that will still take up my sleeping time." I said innocently.

The old wolf had no words, shook his head and said to me earnestly, "Hehuo, you are so lazy that you can't get married."

Finally, Brother Long said, "Well, I'll buy breakfast for Hehuo every morning. But remember to invite me to lunch. "

"No problem!"

I finally stopped being hungry.

Five that night was fierce K homework, power failure; Not only is there a power outage, but the heating is also stopped in winter.

The Woods knocked on my door: "Go up to Weiwei."

Weiwei is a migrant girl who opens a book bar. Weiwei opened a book bar a few months ago. We often go there.

Let's take our homework and run for books.

Passing through an intersection under construction, it is messy, and only bicycles are allowed to pass.

"Let's go around." Lin Zi said.

"No, I'll freeze to death if I stay outside for another second."

"Look at this road yourself. A detour is not necessarily slower than walking from here."

"All right, let's compete. I'll go from here, you take a detour and see who gets there first!"

"Please heat the coffee if you lose!"

"It's a deal!"

Then we parted at the intersection.

Who knows, that was the last time I saw the Woods where I was still friends.

You call me stupid, you call me stupid, I have no premonition that something will happen to the Woods, but we grew up together.

I've been waiting at the book bar like crazy. The Woods haven't arrived yet.

The more I waited, the more uneasy I felt, and I rushed home.

There have been several missed calls on our home phone, all from Aunt Yun. I called the phone and received the worst news I have ever heard in my life-there was a car accident in the Woods.

Not long after we separated. In order to save a child, the Woods were hit by the drunk driver. I always thought that this kind of thing would only happen on TV, and people around me would live happily. Who knows that the first misfortune happened to my best best friend in my life ...

Why ...

I rushed to the hospital like crazy. Aunt Yun told me that fortunately, the driver who caused the accident still had a conscience and sent the Woods for rescue in time, which was out of danger. I breathed a long sigh of relief, then sat down in a chair and waited for the Woods to wake up with Aunt Yun.

I don't know how long I waited. I just kept staring at the Woods and didn't dare to look away. Even Aunt Yun didn't notice when she went out. The Woods finally woke up. Her long eyelashes covered her eyelids moved slightly, and then slowly opened her eyes. Look at me. Said two words.

"Where is this? Who are you? "

Then I said, Linzi, don't frighten me when you are awake, but Linzi still doesn't know me. I said Lin Zi, if you do this again, I'll break up with you. I'm trembling at my own voice, but Lin Zi's eyes are still so confused. It's like looking at a ... A ... stranger!

I panicked. I got up from my chair and stumbled to call Aunt Yun and the doctor. The doctor glared at me and said what to shout. No noise is allowed in the hospital. Then I went up and tugged at the doctor's arm and said, Please help me, I beg you. If I am cured, I will become dumb, just don't let her not know me ...

Woods has amnesia.

What do you think is bad to play these days? You have to play amnesia. I want to lose my memory, too You've forgotten everything, but I remember everything ...

Thirteen years, I and your thirteen years have just been deleted from your mind ...

Xu Yilin, you bastard! ! !

In the evening, Aunt Yun came to my house to find me. The first sentence was, Aunt Yun asked you a favor.

Then I got a little confused.

The doctor said that Lin Zi herself wanted to restore her memory. Once she met some familiar people, she would try very hard to remember ... But it would do great damage to her brain ... Aunt would transfer to Lin Zi ... Aunt watched you two grow up, and she knew that you two were closer than sisters ... But ...

Aunt Yun broke down in tears as she spoke. I put my arm around Aunt Yun's shoulder and said, Aunt Yun, please stop. I understand.

After seeing Aunt Yun off that day, I locked myself in the house and bit my horn and cried all night.

I've never shed so many tears. I thought I was going to cry to death.

Xiaodi and others called me to ask me out to go out with them for fun, but I said I was really not in the mood. Xiaodi sighed, no longer reluctantly, leaving a sentence. In the last few days of the winter vacation, I just kept this sentence: Give all the pain to time.

I moved to my grandmother's house soon after school started. Because after all, I live across the hall, and I have to meet the Woods almost every day. Suddenly I realized that when my parents were not at home, I always went to Aunt Yun's house to eat. I didn't even realize it before.

At the weekend, I turned my house upside down, and all the useful and useless things were stuffed into boxes and bags. After all the morning's tossing, I piled a lot of boxes into the living room, which is considered a success. Then I found that I couldn't make it alone. Then I called out Xiaodi, Longge, Orange, Dadong and A Tong, and asked them to come and help me move quickly. After the job was done, I was the host to eat KFC.

We struggled until noon, and finally arrived at grandma's house all the way (fortunately, grandma lives in a bungalow, otherwise we would have to suffer from climbing the stairs). Although it was winter, we broke out in a sweat and couldn't get up on the sofa. Brother Long spoke: "You can't rest here. Let's go and go to KFC. I'm starving. "

The others were about to get up when grandma came out of the kitchen with food.

"What KFC ah, give me to eat here. I have been busy all morning. "

Then those people all looked at me.

"Ah, I mean, invite you to eat KFC's ice cream as dessert."

Everyone came up without saying anything and beat me up.

But the dishes cooked by my grandmother are not covered. A group of people ate their mouths full of oil and forgot all about ice cream. At first, Xiaodi and A Tong both ate very ladylike food, but in the face of the braised prawns served later, they also started to do it. Everyone's mouth is full of muttering, Hehuo, your boy is really happy.

Because I am happier with you around. I said in my heart.

I giggled as usual, even though sometimes it was fake. I still miss the Woods.

Especially on Lin Zi's birthday.

After school that day, I secretly went to the school in the Woods.

The two schools were separated by more than 30 miles, and it was windy that day. When I arrived at her school wheezing on my bike and drinking the northwest wind, my paws had already frozen out several cracks.

I got off and stood in the wind, quietly waiting for the Woods to finish school.

Suddenly, Brother Long appeared in front of me as if from the sky, grabbed my paw, took off his gloves and gave them to me. After a long time, the word "idiot" popped up.

"You've been following me?" I asked.

Brother Long nodded shyly: "I also want to see the Woods."

Finally, after school, crowds began to pour out from the school gate. I stood on tiptoe, looking for the figure of the Woods in a line of dark blue school uniforms and fancy cars.

Come out!

I was so excited that I almost didn't shout.

This is the first time I have seen the Woods in a month.

The Woods walked out in a group of people talking and laughing. I haven't changed at all. I'm so conspicuous everywhere I go and talk to everyone. A crazy girl.

Looking at the distant back of the Woods, my tears came down. It startled me. I never cry in front of others, and besides, it's on the main road. I have to stop quickly. But the more I don't want to cry, the more I can't stop crying, and longge is a little panicked. But he didn't say anything. He took off his scarf and gently wrapped it around my face. This time I have a barrier, and I can't control it anymore. Squatting on the curb, tears rushed out and wet the scarf. Brother Long squatted next to me, risking being called a pervert by me, and held my hand tightly in it.

Good half-day, longge said softly, in fact, you should be happy. Linzi is as cheerful and happy as before in a new environment, and she has a good life. That's enough.

I stopped crying after listening to Brother Long's words. Partly because I was surprised, I didn't expect this kind of wood, Brother Long, to be so good at comforting people. The other half is that I think it's right. I feel at ease when I see the Woods. As long as she is happy, so am I.

I stood up, patted the dirt on my ass, looked at the school in Linzi, and said to myself gently: Happy birthday, Linzi. Then call Brother Long: "Let's go!"

Brother Long sent me home. I said a lot of things that made me laugh along the way, and my mood was much better.

I wanted to say thank you to him, but I didn't say it after all. Most of the time, we keep our words in mind. That's good.

When I went out on the weekend, I passed a newly opened audio-visual supermarket and invited a bunch of hip-hop dancers to join me. To tell the truth, it was the best street dance I have ever seen in my life.

When they have finished dancing, I will ask the lead dancer what song it is.

"the second half of the ninth inning."

I copied this song on a tape and sent it to the Woods. Of course, there is no signature.

The final exam of Grade Two will be held soon. This is my last shot in the second half of the ninth inning when I was fourteen.

I'm doing my best.

Fourteen-year-old turns and turns in the second half of the ninth inning/I'm still expecting a reversal when I put my hat on backwards/Youth is like a baseball game/Three people are out/There will be a new stage tomorrow/Just in the second half of the ninth inning of youth/Will there be a big reversal when I put my hat on backwards/Life is a baseball game/After nine innings/Will there be an overtime ...

It should be all of them, hehe.

In fact, you can find it soon in the post bar.
