伟大的英格兰土地上普照着这洁净的和煦日光。 躺在草地上的男孩叼着麦杆。 目光不怀好意地眯成缝。 专心致志地抓住日光的缝隙里泻出的七彩流斓。 日子是平静的调。 “Is another busy day today ,I believe?”语调轻佻。 “Oh,bad boy. Tell me what you have done.Naughty boy .What a mess!My god!” A man with a pot-bellied,看到一地的狼籍后回身去质问少年。 “ I have tolen you not to touch them ,haven’t I?You are so naughty .And now ,you should pay for it ,boy .” 男孩嚼了一下麦杆,站起身,不置可否地笑了笑。意甚轻蔑。 “Yes,of course I will ,sir.But first of all I think you’d better return me my books.” “It’s impossible,you know.You have to clean it up as a punishment.” 男孩嚣张地摆了摆手,一副决不投诚的样子,鼻子哼了一声。那爱笑的嘴角蓄着的笑意却更浓了。黑亮的眼睛如乌玉般幽黑。 “Don’t you know who I am?I won’t obey your instructions unless you give my books back to me.I think if we cooperate with each other ,we will not need to be so tired and you will have less work to do .” 讨好的话倒是挺好听,语气里却没有丝毫的商量余地。 “It sounds interesting.Cooperate with you?Such a little boy ?!I think it’s the funniest joke I have ever heard.You……” 听到对方坚决的答复,少年不顾胖男人的冷嘲热讽转身就走,甩也不甩地任他一个人在那说个没完。发现自己被无视胖男人急忙冲着少年发威。 “Stop!Come back,boy!”
晃过神的胖男人看到大范围的凌乱,气得火冒三丈,跺脚挥拳头地又追了上去。 “Catch him ,Davis.Catch him .Don’t let him escape.” 被搅得气喘吁吁的胖男人,看着少年在不远处挥手挑衅,一时力不从心不由得恼羞成怒地咆哮。 “ S,Stop,Christopher Webster!” 硬生生从牙缝里咬牙切齿地挤出这么狮吼样的嗓音。 正在树梢小憩的鸟儿受惊地拍翅逃窜到四面八方。 吼叫声震得房子都抖出了死角陈年堆积的厚厚一层灰尘。 连网上的蜘蛛都险些掉了下来。
远处匆匆的脚步声乱了节拍,渐行渐近,像受惊的大象过境一般震动了脚下的土地。 一双机警的黑眼睛在绿叶交错的疏漏里打探着动静。 目光穿过交叠的叶子落在一双停在不远处的脚上。 老式的裤管上还沾着苹果园里的湿泥巴。 “Where is he ?I can’t see him.” “He can’t vanish .He must hide in someplace.” 洞悉一切的眼睛死死地盯住那浓密的草丛。 目光缓缓地落到草地上的几片叶子, 新嫩的青绿色。
眯了眯眼仿佛参出了什么玄机。 恍然大悟。
“I think I know where he is.” 脚朝草丛迈去。
气定神闲的模样,注视那泥巴一点点逼近。 永远成竹在胸的淡定。 叶子反倒操心地紧缩成一团。
“What do you want to do ,sir?” 千钧一发之际,声音喝住了脚的行动。
“Someone got into the garden just now so I want tocheck inside.” “It’s humour for you to say so .We were here then,and we saw none.” “But,”the guards interrupt,“We think you should trust what we have said.We don’t have to tell lies,do we?As everyone knows, nobody is allowed to go into this place and none can against this rule.Anything else,sir? ” “Well,that’s all.” 警卫态度强硬地用三两句话赶走了韦伯叔, 被驱逐的韦伯叔临走还心有不甘地瞥了一眼草丛。
“Christopher Webster,you,Can you tell me what makes you so happy?” 韦伯叔累得要死,刚想骂克里斯几句,就被他笑嘻嘻的模样转移了注意力。 说实在,克里斯一高兴就让他很不安。非常不安。 克里斯也有点讶异自己的心情为什么那么好。 不知怎的总忍不住笑。 想到刚刚自己把苹果丢给同胞的时候,少年惊讶的神情, 于是又, 忍俊不禁。
会这样是因为遇到同龄的中国同胞吧。 克里斯从来都是心系祖国的人。
然后, He was so happy that he didn’t remember to fing out the owner’s pretty lady.
