"Brother Xian" rushed to the entrance of the village, and there were several people standing in the open space on the side of the road, smoking cigarettes and chatting. Walking in, all of them are childhood playmates - "Fa Xiao", although they have met in a hurry in the provincial capital, but they are all in a hurry, a hurry to say goodbye, it seems that they are also limited by the urban environment, can not be as simple as in the village, so that people are easy to walk in, into the heart.

Zhang Guoqiang saw "Brother Xian" first, greeted him, warmly shook hands, patted his shoulder, and kept saying: Brother Ghost! It's okay - it's okay - it's better than when he was fat - he looks more energetic, and he is still so strong! A bunch of people came over to greet "Brother Xian" and didn't slack off - he took out a cigarette from his pocket and gave one to everyone. Zhang Guoqiang looked at his eyes and said: When did you smoke it, don't you remember that you don't smoke? "Brother Xian" hurriedly explained: What are you smoking?

"The young man who left home and returned to the eldest child, the hometown accent has not changed and the sideburns have declined", the once high-spirited and energetic teenager, the young man who once fought the sword and killed the enemy across the horse, the years have left a mark of sharpening on everyone. A group of people stood around, talking about the changes in everyone and what they were doing. For a moment, "Brother Xian" listened, feeling that their life was real, real, and down-to-earth, and his "brilliance" in the eyes of others seemed to be "tall", but he always felt a little "vain" and "shelved". After chatting for a while, they are going to be busy, and they are going to disperse, "Brother Xian" suggested building a WeChat group: Green Years - everyone smiled at the name and joined the group one by one, and the greetings dispersed.

Before leaving, Zhang Guoqiang came over and said: Brother, we have all heard about you, and we can't help much materially, but it's okay to do a small favor, don't fight alone next time! "Brother Xian" was a little moved, holding Zhang Guoqiang's hand tightly with both hands, speechless for a while, not knowing what to say. Zhang Guoqiang continued: Brother, have you ever thought about coming back for development, although you are not as decent as you in the provincial capital, but now it is different from the past, and the countryside is also a big world, which is enough for you to display! "Brother Xian" is still in excitement, but he nods his head frequently, and unconsciously says: Okay, thank you, brother, thank you!

After speaking, the two also dispersed, "Brother Xian" went around to the embankment of the Qishui River, and walked home along the embankment.

Zhang Guoqiang is "him", the teenager who was slapped by Liu Chunyan and called her "Sister Stick". Since the "ghost brother" formed a morning running team, a group of people waited for the morning to get up and ran crazy on the river embankment, trying to make a fresh persistence for a week and then compromised, "Brother Xian" after a hard heart, a few more persisted for half a month, and then gave up. Zhang Guoqiang was invited by "Brother Xian" several times, and even under the temptation of making him the "vice captain", he did not join.

The yard after school was rearranged by the "ghost brother", and according to the toys and the number of people, it was divided into a "badminton team", a "sandbag skipping rope team", a "martial arts team", and a "sticker team" that played "Saint Seiya", etc., each team has a captain, and after school, the yard chooses toys first, and then chooses a play area.

Zhang Guoqiang took the initiative to join the "martial arts team" after school - that is, following the moves of the popular Jin Yong martial arts TV series, and some people even spared no expense to buy one or two "martial arts cheats" such as "boxing books" on the second-hand book stalls, according to one move and one style, connected with each other, and then played different roles - "Eighteen Palms of the Dragon", "Ling Bo Weibu", "One Yang Finger"...... After a contest, after a "fight", today's "martial arts alliance leader" was elected, Zhang Guoqiang relied on his age and height, and was basically the "alliance leader" every day, and gradually the "various sects" let the "ghost brother" give the name of the "captain" of the "martial arts team" to Zhang Guoqiang. "Brother Ghost" every time he takes advantage of the TV series to start broadcasting, he says: Okay, I'm talking about it, why don't we fight again one day!

Zhang Guoqiang's father was a butcher who liked to drink, and after drinking, he wandered around the village in a dizzy manner, and sometimes he was unhappy and liked to beat people after drinking; Zhang Guoqiang's mother was also from the same village, and she loved to play mahjong, and she was away from home all day, and she played mahjong. So basically Zhang Guoqiang has no one to take care of, relying on the fact that there is often meat to eat at home, his body is relatively fat, and his father's bloody smell, he can't say "rampant in the township", picking "soft persimmon pinching", and bullying those who are younger than him.

Zhang Guoqiang caused trouble outside for three days, bullied children, and when the parents found his house, his father apologized to others, then ripped off the shoes on his feet, and beat Zhang Guoqiang. Just came to the yard of the "ghost brother" house to play for a while, envied the "ghost brother", and when he came home, he followed his mother behind his ass to buy him a basketball, and then followed his father to make him a toy. The mother, who had just lost the money, was in a bad mood, so she slapped him twice.

In a fit of anger, Zhang Guoqiang walked along the Qishui River to the river, until he walked to the embankment of the Fanqing River, but it was not a bridge, and he wandered on the bank of the Fanqing River. Zhang Guoqiang's mother was angry, and when they were having dinner, the two couldn't find Zhang Guoqiang everywhere, and they searched all over the village, but they couldn't find it. Finally, I found the yard of the "ghost brother", and no one saw it after asking around. Before leaving, a man said that he saw a child on the river embankment, crying as he walked, and went in the direction of the Fanqing River.

After listening to this, the two adults hurriedly walked in the direction of Fan Qingjiang, and the "ghost brother" also put down the toys in his hand, followed the two adults and a bunch of children, and ran towards Fan Qingjiang. From time to time, the cold wind on the embankment drilled into the clothes, shrunk into a ball one by one, and looked like a bunch of penguins from a distance, walking forward against the wind, and on the bank of the Qishui River, there was already a thin layer of ice, hanging on the stones, crumbling. When people rushed to the embankment of the Fanqing River, it was almost dark, and the cold river wind was blowing even more daunting. Along the river embankment, a group of people searched up and down for more than 200 meters, but there was no trace. Zhang Guoqiang's mother sat on the riverbank, crying and beating her chest, and Zhang Guoqiang's father yelled at her angrily.

Suddenly, not far from the water surface, poof, a black shadow jumped into the water, and I heard the children who were closer shouting: Zhang Guoqiang is in the water, there - there - everyone ran to the water, but no one dared to go down the river, Zhang Guoqiang's father shrank and was about to jump in the water, he heard a "plop" next to him, and someone had already jumped into the water and swam in the direction of Zhang Guoqiang. Everyone looked at it, the official "ghost brother", Zhang Guoqiang at this time had a feeling of falling, his hands and feet were struggling unconsciously, "ghost brother" swam to him, grabbed his arm and dragged it back, the seemingly calm river, the undercurrent surged, plus Zhang Guoqiang's weight. After struggling twice, the two surfaced, and Zhang Guoqiang seemed to be more sober, pulling the arm of the "ghost brother", and his legs and feet began to move, and slowly swam to the shore. Zhang Guoqiang's father had also arrived at their place, and the three of them swam ashore together. Zhang Guoqiang, who was shivering, with blue lips, was lying on the dry grass on the shore, panting with his eyes closed; "Brother Ghost" and Zhang Guoqiang's father were sitting next to them, the water on their bodies dripping, and they were also panting.

Liu Jianshe and several villagers also rushed over, looking at this scene, they couldn't help but have a false alarm. Liu Jianshe found an open place sheltered from the wind, called a few children, helped pull some dead grass, found some dead branches, and made a fire with gas, so that the three of them sat around him. Zhang Guoqiang's face also slowly recovered, the "playful child" kept cleaning up the dead branches and other firewood and grass on the river embankment, the fire burned more and more, the flame was more than one person high, and after a while, the three people's bodies began to steam, like three cage drawers, steaming "Tang monk meat". The other people's faces were red, and they did not dare to come closer, and the jumping flames were reflected on the calm surface of the river.

After that night, Zhang Guoqiang voluntarily gave up the "Martial Arts Alliance Leader" to "Ghost Brother", "Ghost Brother" was not happy, and the two made a fake comparison, and Zhang Guoqiang was willing to bow down. But he wants to be the vice captain of the "morning running team", and there are only two "morning running teams" left by "Ghost Brother" and Zhang Guoqiang, and the two have always insisted on persevering in the continuous ups and downs of the number of team members.
