Chapter 34: The Three Musketeers of Wind, Rain, Thunder and Lightning

"Dunzi-dunzi-dunzi-"

Whenever I hear this continuous elongated high-pitched voice calling my name, the inexplicable excitement in my heart seems to stimulate a certain excitement point in my cranial nerves, and a sense of restlessness that emanates from the bottom of my heart is about to erupt from every pore of my body.

I know that this is Peng Chao's voice calling me again, at this time he has already found Leizi and is waiting for me to go out, and the potential meaning is to tell me: "Come out quickly!"

Since Lei Zi and Peng Chao's homes both live on the street, and they are door-to-door, the straight-line distance is less than 10 meters, which is very convenient, while my house is in a deep alley and there is no telephone, so I can only use Peng Chao's "Qianli Sound Transmission Gong" to notify me in time.

Not to mention, I don't know if the sound insulation at home was not good at that time or the children's ears were "very smart", and the roars of four or five families separated by 100 meters away could be heard clearly.

At that time, TV was broadcasting the white-eyed heroes, so we gave ourselves the name of "majestic" and "Breaking through the rivers and lakes", "The Three Musketeers of Wind, Rain, Thunder and Lightning".

At that time, this name was very, very "popular" for us, and we often felt proud and proud of it, and often "shamelessly" showed off our name in front of other children, giving others a chance to "envy" and "envy".

Don't mention that kind of energy!

Why did you choose such a name?

"The Three Musketeers", as the name suggests, are talking about Lei Zi, Peng Chao and me, three people.

"Wind, rain, thunder, and lightning" are the codes that represent the various game projects we are about to work on together, in case the adults steal the "secrets" between us.

"Wind" represents the absence of adults in Peng Chao's family, we can take this opportunity to play with all kinds of animals without scruples, either chasing small animals or being chased by small animals, either building bricks and burning potatoes to eat, or climbing on the pigsty, using a long bamboo pole to wake up the sleeping "pig brother", and observe its angry appearance......

The most serious one was when "Brother Pig" was extremely angry at our provocation and knocked down the wall of the pigsty, which was a wall made of red bricks and cement! It can be seen that our provocation has broken through the bottom line of "Brother Pig".

At that time, we were frightened, watching it thunder and crashing everywhere, for fear that this pig would eat us all when it went crazy...... We had nowhere to hide, so we struggled to climb to the roof and quietly observe, until it was tired, sleepy, and asleep, and then we crept out of the gate.

Therefore, we call all kinds of naughty projects that people and animals hate "wind", which is actually similar to the ancient Chinese word "crazy", which means crazy play.

"Rain" represents climbing the wall, going to the house, "going over the mountains and mountains", bathing in the wind and rain, and even quietly climbing on the roof of other people's houses to lie down in the sun with your eyes closed, feeling the moment of the breeze blowing, and leaving all the growing troubles behind.

When I was a child, every house was a bungalow, and it is no exaggeration to say that climbing the 2-meter-high fence was a very "pediatric" game for us naughty boys. Run, kick the wall to borrow strength, reach out with both hands, hang on the wall, and then drag your whole body with both hands. Then, use your feet on the wall to "explore" the place where you can support the borrowed force, and use your hands and feet together, and you can ride smoothly in a short time.

"It's easy to go up the mountain, but it's hard to go down."

Jumping off is a psychological challenge for everyone. The safest way is to do it in reverse like climbing a wall, but it is extremely easy to rub the position where the body is in contact with the wall, and the gains outweigh the losses. So, our general choice is to jump.

The first time I jumped, I was always full of all kinds of fears and psychological barriers, and there was a little fear of heights, and I hesitated for a long time and didn't dare to move. The only booster is to be discovered by the adults.

From a distance, the adults saw a few children who had climbed the wall, pointing and pointing towards us, muttering something that they couldn't hear at all, but they were very scared, in case they were caught and handed over to their parents, teachers, or beaten up!

So, gritting his teeth, being ruthless, he jumped away without thinking about anything or anything.

"Ahh

After jumping down, I suddenly realized that it wasn't really a big deal. I wasn't caught by adults, and I wasn't hurt.

After that, he became more and more bold, and in addition to accumulating experience, he completely summed up a set of smooth actions to climb over the wall, and also learned to formulate a set of effective "escape routes" before taking action, so as not to be caught by adults.

It's also common to ride the wall and climb to the roof.

Therefore, in order to prevent thieves or "naughty ghosts" like us from climbing over at will, many local people will build an additional layer of crystal clear glass ballast with cement on the fence, as long as they climb up, they will be cut, which can directly prevent the "bad guys" from making trouble.

Even so, we will overcome all kinds of "difficulties and obstacles" to achieve our goals, and we like the feeling of being far-sighted, condescending, and "looking ahead".

What's even more excessive, there is a family that piles all kinds of feces on the wall, the stench is stinking, causing the neighbors to complain, no one is a fool, we naturally don't go back to climb such a wall, it is estimated that thieves and thieves also think so.

"Lei" represents going to Lei Zi's house to play various situational costume drama games, and setting up your own characters, you can be "invincible in the world" by practicing various world-shattering skills.

Because the small south room of Lei Zi's house is empty, there are a lot of messy sundries placed in it, but those clutter can become our game props.

The last one is "Electricity", the only game item that is truly related to electricity. That's a video game like a controller, an arcade. The post-80s generation is familiar with Contra, Super Mario, Tank Battle, House Demolition, Dinosaur World, Journey to the West, Three Kingdoms and so on. These games were very tempting to us as children, and of course arcade dinosaur Kombat or something. We will secretly go to the game hall to play these games behind the parents' backs.

Many friends will surely wonder, why do you have to go secretly to play games?

It's because parents have an extreme hatred for gaming electronics.

They believe that playing video games such as game games and arcades is gambling, that is, not doing their job properly, that is, synonymous with "bad children, bad students", and that they are the "culprits" who lead children to become bad.

So, we can only play secretly.

Childhood friendships are innocent and do not involve any impurities. So, every time whoever has money on them, we will play equally, and we will never account for more or less things than you.

Of course, there are times when they are discovered. Parents in line with the attitude of "rather kill a thousand mistakes than let one go", once discovered, they will never spare it.

Just like today's online games and mobile games, children with poor self-control are of course easy to indulge, coupled with the inappropriate guidance of parents, resulting in a decline in children's academic performance, etc., there are many examples, so I will not list them one by one.

In fact, there are many reasons for a child's "addictive" personality, the most important of which is the degree of family harmony and the way of education. Totalitarian families, families that lack warmth, families that lack paternal love, and families where one or both parents have extreme or violent parenting methods can all lead to a child's "addictive" personality.

I am a living example, for a period of time, I was extremely addicted to online games, completely to the point of obsession, as long as I was free, I wanted to play and have fun, but when I actually sat in front of the computer, I felt that everything I imagined before was boring, and all the games were also boring, which is the manifestation of "addiction".

Straight to the point.

This is the actual meaning of the "Three Musketeers of Wind, Rain, Thunder and Lightning".

"What are you going to do today?" I asked them

"Can you 'electricity' or 'wind' for a while?" asked Leizi.

"I don't have any money, do you have money?" I replied.

Peng Chao shook his head, "No, and my dad is at home today, so I can't go back, otherwise if I want to be 'wind', I will be 'wind', and if I want 'electricity', I will be 'electricity'." ”

"Hahahaha......" The three of them looked at each other and laughed in unison.

Except for Peng Zhao's family, Lei Zi and I don't have game consoles at home, so we can only go to the game hall to rent machines to play.

When I was a child, it was very cheap to rent a machine to play, and I could play for an hour for one yuan, and the three of us could play in turns.

At that time, their pocket money was super small, and I almost didn't have it at all, so there was the fact that Leizi gave me pocket money.

If you don't have money, you can't go all the time, so you can only find some other entertainment to have fun.

Then go to the "rain".

We quickly agreed. Peng Chao led the way quietly from under the windowsill of his house into the backyard, from where he climbed along the pigsty to the fence, and then rode the fence slowly to the roof of someone else's house.

The middle of the roof is high, the sides are low, and it is an obtuse angle, so you can feel that its inclination is not small when you are immersed in the scene. The roof is paved with tiles to prevent water leakage, and the potholes are very difficult to walk, and although you can barely maintain your balance when you stand up, you will be in danger of falling if you are not careful.

What's even more paradoxical is that standing up and walking is easy to be noticed by adults, so the three of us can only "reluctantly" choose to squat or crawl forward, carefully and slowly "move" to the middle of the roof, and then slowly lie down.

A lot of the time, I don't talk about anything, looking at the blue sky and white clouds, it is very easy to "empty" myself and enjoy the good time at that moment.

I don't know what they're thinking, but I'm looking forward to being with them so often, even if I don't say anything, do nothing, don't think about anything, just stay quietly, it's very pleasant.

Because I gradually began to understand why my sister was reluctant to go home, why she was unwilling to face her parents, and would rather go out at the age of 16 to explore society.

After going to school, the Chinese teacher told us that home is a haven from the wind, but my home is the beginning of the war, and what is more dangerous is that I will be affected by the stray bullets of the war at any time, and even encounter a fixed target.

So, I prefer to spend all my leisure time with my playmates.
