Chapter 11 Cutting Corners

There are some things that you miss are missed, and there are some things that happen and you will be in pain for the rest of your life......

Throughout elementary school, I grew up in a very relaxed environment, my father's busyness made me take advantage of a lot of loopholes, I was very bold, I didn't like the little tricks between girls at all, I preferred boys' games.

In the spring of the fifth grade, the fourth, fifth, and sixth grade students went on a spring outing to climb the mountain, and my father specially arranged for a teacher to be responsible for carrying the medicine box on his back in case the child fell or bruised.

I didn't sleep well at night when I was excited, I dressed up early in the morning, went to the cafeteria for breakfast, and went to the class to wait for departure.

The teacher talked a lot about the precautions, and I didn't hear anything. Finally, the big truck came, and the boys filled the big truck compartment with stools, and then the two big boys stood on the side of the carriage and pulled up the classmates who were queuing under the car one by one, and everyone sat on the stools in order. The teacher was busy counting the number of people, and finally set off, and the two big trucks headed for Nanshan one after the other. The wind blew the girl's long hair, blew the boy's clothes, everyone blushed excitedly, sang song by song, almost finished singing the song of the meeting, and finally tired, can have a moment of peace. After driving for a while, the mountain could be vaguely seen, and everyone began to get excited again.

Finally at the bottom of the mountain, I began to climb the mountain as a class, and the boys with good physical strength rushed to the front, and I was naturally in the group of boys with good strength, and soon I climbed a third of the way, climbing up the steps, and slowly felt bored. When we came to a fork in the road, we found a sign indicating that the trail on the right can also lead to the top of the mountain, and the road is slippery and safe. I stopped to look at the sign for a long time, and had a bold idea, so I told a few boys, let's climb the stairs like this is too boring, we might as well take a shortcut to the top of the mountain. My proposal was immediately echoed by the boys, and we left the main road and continued our climb.

The mountain road is very steep, but the scenery is very good, there are wild flowers in full bloom everywhere, from time to time you will see beautiful birds flying in front of you, there are some sections of the road to drag the branches of several people to climb together, it is very exciting and fun, the mountain road is difficult, but our newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, and enjoy boundless happiness in the process of exploration. After a while we reached the top, there is a shed on the top of the mountain, crumbling, standing on the top of the mountain and looking down, the pride of the mountains at a glance arises spontaneously, the highway has almost become a line, the car is like a beetle, we have a few mountain tops shouted for a while, and we feel that it is not interesting.

After sitting on the wooden bench under the shed for a while, bored, a few people discussed, let's go down the mountain, let's take a shortcut down the mountain.

As soon as this idea came out, everyone began to get excited, and finally discussed, but they still didn't wait for them, they were too slow, they were like snails, and at that time, everyone had already forgotten the teacher's rules.

We were a group of seven people, and we left a line on the ground on the top of the mountain, and we went down the mountain, like heroes.

It's much easier to go down than up. A few of us trotted all the way, spread our arms, slapped this tree and slapped that tree, shouting, "Rush, rush all the way......

The hill was getting steeper and steeper, and we were running faster and faster, and as we ran, we realized that the situation was not good, and we couldn't stop the car......

A smart boy will deliberately use his arms to hug the tree to slow down, and if he hugs the tree in time, he will also fall due to inertia...... I rushed to the front, the speed was too fast, I couldn't control myself at all, I tried to hold on to a big tree, but the tree was too thick, I couldn't hold it at all, I was desperate, seeing that there was no road ahead, at this time, I tripped over a stone, my right leg hit the ground, and I slid forward for a distance, and when I fixed my eyes on everything in front of me, not only gasped, I was already on the edge of the cliff, if I slid forward another 10 centimeters, I had fallen at the moment, life and death were not certain.

When everyone came around, my legs were already swollen, everyone helped me up, this is not in front of the village and behind the store, everyone looked at each other, even at that time, I still gritted my teeth like a boss and commanded everyone, help me up, let's hurry down the mountain, otherwise the teacher can't find us and we will be in a hurry.

Everyone helped me, my right foot couldn't touch the ground at all, I jumped on one leg and walked down with difficulty, fortunately we didn't get lost, and went down the mountain smoothly.

When I got to the parking lot, my father soon found out about my fall, and he felt that he ran over and picked me up, looking at the knee of his right leg so swollen, and his face was full of anxiety.

When the car returned to school, my dad immediately took me to the hospital.

After examination, the doctor told my father that he needed surgery, and if he did not have surgery, it would affect his development. Dad tried a lot of things, but the cost of the operation was astronomical for our family at that time, and our family couldn't afford to pay for it.

The doctor later gave my knee a blocking injection, and for a while a pimple appeared on the surface of my foot, and after several closure injections one after another, my leg no longer hurt....

Later, my family found out that I was no longer tall...... Watching my classmates grow up one by one, girls getting more and more beautiful, and boys getting stronger and stronger, I panicked. Dad once bought me a heightening medicine pad to stimulate acupuncture points, and it was very uncomfortable to wear the palms of my feet, but it was to no avail, and I didn't gain half a cent.

I was only in the fifth grade, and I couldn't imagine how much impact this had on my life, but as I grew older, helplessness and sadness ate away at my accumulated self-confidence and arrogance. My father's remorse grew day by day, and he became more tolerant of me.

This has happened, there is no turning back, the impact on my life is profound, I regret it, I hate it, but these have never been shown in my face......
