Since he was a child, Afeng was a gifted child, extremely intelligent, and he knew everything as soon as he learned it. The priests taught him catechisms.In the courtyard, an old monk surnamed Sun from Henan liked him very much, and personally taught him to read and explain the stories of the Bible.But the temper of that child, Ah Feng, is strange and weird, hot and cold, moody.He is the most out of gregarious, always walks alone in the yard, other orphans provoke him, he punches and kicks him, when he commits public anger, those children unite to repair him, but he doesn't even return his hand, Let them scatter mud and sand on their heads and faces, and then go to the tap to wash it off slowly. When Brother Sun asked about the bruises on his face, he shut his mouth tightly and didn't say a word.Ah Feng had a strange problem since she was a child. She would cry for no reason. She couldn't stop crying for an hour or two, and her whole body went into convulsions from crying.Sometimes, in the middle of the night, he would hide alone in the chapel in the courtyard, and weep on the chair.Cultivator Sun noticed it and asked him why he was crying. He always said that his heart hurts and he felt uncomfortable without crying.Ah Feng gradually grew up and became more and more surly.One Christmas Eve, the dean led the children to celebrate mass in the church, but he refused to come forward to receive Holy Communion.The dean reprimanded him a few words, and he suddenly became furious, ran to the altar, swept several porcelain holy statues to the ground, and smashed them to pieces.The dean locked him in confinement for a week, and Brother Sun led him to kneel and chant the Rosary every day.When Ah Feng was fifteen years old, he finally escaped from Lingguang Nursery and never went back.

As soon as Ah Feng broke into the park, he was like a wild horse that had run loose. No one could stop him with his wild vigor. Even if I said it, he was still obedient.Because when he first debuted, he had sex with several registered hooligans in Sanchong Town, Park, and he was stabbed several times.I was the one who brought him home and healed him.He was lying on the bed, stroking a red and swollen wound on his abdomen, and said with a smile to me: Eunuch Guo, if you poke deeper, it will save you all these troubles! Ah Feng is really a child in the park, a wild phoenix in the park.He was walking around on the steps by the lotus pond, with his black hair like a lion's mane, his head held high and his chest held high, with a look of arrogance and madness.At that time, there were still many old men who fancied him!Sheng Gong of Wannianqing Film Company is one of them. Sheng Gong wants to adopt him, take him back to his mansion on Bade Road, dress him up from head to toe, and make an inch for him in Ximending Shanghai A flannel light gray suit, and bought a silver-cased Rolex in Hendry to wear on his wrist, dressed him up like a wealthy young man, and then took him to Retiro to eat western food.Sheng Gong is interested in cultivating him, he wants to send him to school, let him make movies and become a star in the future.But the wild phoenix stayed in Sheng Gong's mansion for only a week before flying back to the park.He pawned off his suit and watch, and pawned thousands of dollars. He took all those wild kids in the park to the Taoyuanchun store opened by Teacher Yang, ordered two tables of food, ate and drank with those wild kids, and had a tooth-to-mouth sacrifice. When he was drunk, he climbed onto the table and sang "Rainy Night Flowers".Just when everyone was overjoyed and applauded, he jumped off the table and walked away without looking back.

Because of his difficult temper, the people in the park, even if they wanted to, would not dare to provoke him.When he was eighteen years old, his fate had come, and he happened to meet his evil star.The opponent is the son of a high official, and he is also an only son. Because he belongs to the dragon, his nickname is Longzi.Longzi was decent-looking, with a prominent family background. He graduated from university and worked in a foreign company. He was planning to study abroad. He was supposed to have a bright future.Who would have thought that the moment Long Zi and Ah Feng met, it was as if a thunder from the sky stirred up the fire on the ground, and it was out of control.Long Zi rented an apartment at the bottom of Songjiang Road, quietly built a small nest, and hid Ah Feng in it.At that time, there was still a paddy field at the bottom of Songjiang Road, and their small apartment was right beside the paddy field. When they opened the window, they could see a large expanse of green paddy seedlings.The two of them, shirtless and barefoot, went to the field to dig snails and catch loaches. They were covered in mud. They sat on the edge of the field and broke a melon. Had a good time.But why is that wild phoenix willing to stay in the nest so peacefully?Sometimes in the middle of the night, he flew back to the park, riding on the stone railing by the lotus pond, looking up, counting the stars.Long Zi came after him and asked him to go home. He said: This is my home. Where do you want me to go back?Biansheng Longzi also had a stormy temper, and when they disagreed, they fought into a ball in the park, and their clothes were torn to pieces. After the fight, they sat on the steps again, hugging each other's heads and crying.People in the park laughed at them, saying they had lost their minds.During that period, often in the middle of the night, Long Zi took a taxi and searched all over Taipei. When he saw someone, he would ask, "Have you seen Ah Feng?"Some people in the park were jealous, some gloated, and made up many stories: Ah Feng went to Xinnanyang.Ah Feng and others went to Taoyuanchun for a late-night snack.Ah Feng?Didn't he let Duke Sheng take it away?So Long Zi really went to those places to search one by one, sometimes until it was dawn, and then returned to the park alone in a daze. To that end, from that end to this end.

One night, Ah Feng came to me with a blue face and a pair of deep-set eyes flashing like they were about to pop out. Eunuch Guo’s voice is hurting, I want to leave him, if I don’t leave him again, I will burn him to death.I asked him, what do you want from me?He said, I want your heart.I said I was born without that thing.He said: You don't have one, I'll give you this one.Really, I'm really afraid that one day he will dig this thing out of him and force it into my chest.Eunuch Guo, you know that since I was a child, I have always escaped from Lingguang Nursery by climbing over the wall and wandering in the park.The small apartment he rented for me on Songjiang Road couldn't be more comfortable.He secretly brought a lot of things from home, including electric fans, electric cookers, sofas, and even his own TV, to relieve my boredom at night.But somehow, I just couldn't bear it, and I wanted to run into the park with all my strength.Eunuch Guo, do you remember?When I was fifteen, I made my debut in the park. The first time I slept with someone, I was infected with drugs. It was you who took me to the city hospital for penicillin.I said to him: I am covered in poison and dirty, what are you going to do here?He said: I will lick your filth clean for you, and I will wash away your poison with tears.Was he talking crazy?I said: I can't do it in this life. I will repay you when I am reincarnated in a good family in the next life.Eunuch Guo, I'm about to slip away again, fly away, and start fleeing!

Ah Feng had been missing for more than two months. Long Zi searched all over Taipei, and his eyes became red and he went crazy.In the middle of the night, which was still New Year's Eve, Longzi finally found Afeng again by the lotus pond in the park.Ah Feng was leaning on the stone railing, wearing a single shirt in the cold night, shivering, and was negotiating the price with a fat and ugly old man who smelt of wine.The drunk old man offered him fifty dollars, and he was going to follow immediately.Long Zi catches up and stops him desperately, begging him to go home with him, but Ah Feng keeps shaking her head, looking at Long Zi with a helpless face.Long Zi grabbed his hand and said: Then you give me back my heart!Ah Feng pointed to his chest: Here, take it.Long Zi stabbed A Feng's chest with a straight dagger.Ah Feng lay down in the middle of the steps, hot blood sprayed all over the ground

Old Guo's voice stopped abruptly, his eyelids gradually drooped, his cracked wrinkled face seemed to be covered with a layer of cobwebs. and after?After a long silence, I asked in a whisper. Later, Mr. Guo's hoarse voice trembled slightly, Long Zi sat in a pool of blood, hugged Ah Feng, and went mad. I stayed at Mr. Guo's house for three days and listened to Mr. Guo narrate the vicissitudes of life in the park.He taught me many rules in the park, who can get close, who should stay away, and when the wind is strong, you should avoid it.Mr. Guo’s Youth Art Garden invited a master photographer, and the master photographer took pictures of ordinary guests downstairs.But Mr. Guo personally took pictures of me upstairs and took them to the darkroom for washing.After taking more than a dozen photos, he selected a bust and compiled it into his book of youth birds.My number is No. 87, Mr. Guo said, I am a little goshawk.Before leaving, Mr. Guo found another set of old clothes for me to change into. That set of clothes was left by Tieniu. He was about the same size as me.Mr. Guo stuffed a hundred dollars into my pocket, put his hands on my shoulders, stared at me fixedly, and said heavily:

Go, Ah Qing, you are about to start flying.This is brought in your blood, you wild dolls who grew up on this island, you have this wildness in your blood, just like the typhoon and earthquake on this island.You are a group of young birds who have lost their nests, like a group of petrels crossing the ocean, you can only fly forward desperately, and you don’t know where you will end up
