他在学院的树下石凳小坐一会，望着慢慢西沉的斜阳，望着有说有笑的天都学院路经而过，这里的生活平静又详和。

他摸摸肚子，发现雷呜般的叫声，现在该是考虑添饱肚子的时候。但是他身上又没钱，总不能像个乞丐样去讨要。

饿着肚子，他一个人孤伶伶地走在学院之中，这学院浩然巨大，四处都是陌生景象，他四周张望着，留意着有什么可以充饿的东西。突然间，一片红丹丹的东西吸引他的注意力。

没错，那是一个伸出围墙的树枝，上面挂满红扑扑的果子，虽然不知道是什么果子，看起来好像美味可口的样子。

那少年望着那树上的果实，想象着咬下去，满嘴酸甜的感觉，那口水更是止不住地涌出。他咽咽口水，来到围墙之下，四周张望一下，没有什么人，借两个果子填下肚子，应该不是什么大不了的事。

他吃力地爬上围墙，那果树已经伸手可及，他欣喜地要摘下果子，这时，发现院中有一个老人家，正吃力地挪着石凳，似乎要将石凳搬到树下。

这个时候，老人已经发现围墙上的少年。不由得喝道：“又来偷我的果子，总算让我捕到一回，快给我滚下来！”

那少年紧张道：“老人家，我肚子实在是饿了，摘你两个果子吃。要不这样。我帮你把石凳搬到树底，就当我吃你两个果子也付有劳力！”

老人望望石凳，又望望围墙上的少年，挠挠头。然后同意道：“好，如果你帮我把石凳搬到树底，我就多给你几个果子，当作是酬劳！”

“这个小问题，您等着！”少年从围墙上跃下。然后欣喜地来到老人面前，手在衣服上搓了搓，不知道是衣服脏些，还是手脏些。

来到老人面前，那少年已经可以看清老者的面容，身着一身很朴素的衣裳，穿着布鞋，长得还算和蔼。

那少年傻笑道：“您岁数大了，这事由得由我们年轻人来！”

那老者闷笑着抚抚胸口的长须。点点头道：“说的是，岁月不饶人，这重活是有些不能胜任了，我说话算话，干完这活。就多给你几个果子！”

“那我就先谢谢您了！”

“别谢得太早！”老者笑道。

少年揉揉手腕，说这石凳确实是重，但他还是可以胜任这个事情。他深吸一口气，然后稳沉地抱住石凳。然后猛劲地一提，却见这石凳闻丝不动。

少年惊起。这石凳看似没多大，却有这般重量，超出他的想象之外。他不服气，现在他可算是要用到气元之力，他加注气元到四肢，咬紧牙，然后猛劲地往上提，顿时整个脖子都暴起青筋。

石凳还没动，他算是卯上了，搬不动这石凳，他就是不甘心。只见少年两脚紧踏，再次暴发出强大的气元之力，从喉咙里已经发出闷吼声，那手臂膨胀起的肌肉，已经将衣裳胀得死紧，仿佛快要撑破一般。那双腿所踏之地，竟然开始有所下陷。

“给我起……”那是少年喉咙里的嘶吼，那豆大的汗已经从额角上落下。

终于，见那石凳竟然缓缓地离地而起，那老人停下胸口抚动长须的动作，表情变得骇然，他见那少年一步一步地搬着石凳走向树底，每走一步，脚下的石砖都开始断裂。

嗵地一声闷响，少年将那石凳丢在树下，然后欣喜地抹着汗水道：“真他娘的重，吃这几个果子真不容易！”

老人惊愕地张着嘴，半天说不出话来，那少年道：“老人家，果子我吃喽？”

那老人木然地点点头，还没有回过神来。

少年欣喜地爬上树，摘得一口袋的红果子，嘴里咬着两个，然后跳下树来，递上一个给老人道：“您要不要来一个？”

老人木然地摇摇头，咽咽口水道：“你，你是哪个组的？”

“什么哪个组的？”少年津津有味地嚼着果子，不知所谓地道。

“你在学院里没组么？”

“噢，我是刚来应试的，刚被刷掉了，现在正准备吃饱滚蛋呢！”少年专心吃着果子，漫不经心地道。

老人抹一把汗，结巴地道：“刷，刷掉了，是不是有什么弄错了！”
