Chapter 41: The Grace of Salvation
The second thing is more sinister.
That was after Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan were eight years old and transferred to Chang Xianzhang's class.
At that time, it was early autumn, and the Shui family planted a shelf of mare's milk grapes in the side courtyard of the west courtyard. The fruit was so fruitful that the children in the neighborhood were salivating. There are many "masters" like Hong Yanwu who "fly the eaves and walk the wall" with the idea of milk grapes.
It's a pity that the Shui family's Shuilan has always been closely watched, and it is rare to have a chance to start. The second is that the horse ** grape has also attracted wasps.
Those creepy things with brown winged tiger skin skirts silently grew lotus houses in bundles of wood in the yard's debris pile, and from time to time they would fly to the courtyard and circle.
Although the hornets will not sting people if they don't provoke them, they are quite a mental deterrent to children. Soon, out of fear, all the thieves were cleared. But in the same way, the entertainment life of the girls in the West Courtyard has also been greatly affected.
Everyone who jumps rubber bands avoids the place, hides and seeks and hides in the yard, and does not dare to take a dip under the grape trellis. For this, the girls went out of their way to beg the adults, but since they had not been victimized by it, no one bothered to bother with this idle matter.
Finally, one day, when she couldn't bear it anymore and had a good future, she came to talk to Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan on behalf of the girls in the West Courtyard about the conditions. She wanted to use the price of two large bunches of milk grapes to get them to help poke the hornet's nest.
This girl also used the method of agitation, and she told several heroic stories in the vernacular. What Huang Jiguang, Qiu Shaoyun, Yang Gensi, Dong Cunrui, Yue Fei, Huo Quzhi, Dayu...... Dayu is also counted, "water control" is not with the word "governance".
At that time, Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan were also stupid. As soon as they are greedy, they ignore the objective fact that they and Shui Lan have always been incompatible. After listening to Chang Xianzhang's stories, he made the mistake of blind heroism.
The two boys slapped their little breasts on the spot, and said, "Aren't you just poking that gray thing off?"
Following them, they were about to go to find the bamboo pole, but they didn't expect Shui Lan to think about it very carefully and had prepared it for them in advance.
It is a national flag in the West Courtyard, which will be hung at the gate of the courtyard every year during the "May Day" and "National Day".
The flagpole is bamboo, and it has to be one meter four or five, but the flag makes the small insects full of holes, as if they are full of bullet holes, and it really looks like it is "stained with blood".
Now that you have this weapon at hand, it's time to take action, right?
Don't be busy, you need to make a careful plan.
After the children's collective discussion, the final plan was that when they poked the hornet's nest, for safety, the girls hid in their respective homes in advance and locked their doors first.
As for Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan, the two of them are small, and they can't reach it with bamboo poles alone, so they have to hold the stool alone and step on it to poke it alone. After the stabbing, they hid in Shui Lan's house. Because her house has screen doors and screen windows. As long as you move fast, the bees will definitely not be able to catch up.
This has been discussed, but we have to do it.
The atmosphere at that time was very contrasting.
Chen Liquan looked at the hornet's nest in horror and leaned on the stool.
Hong Yanwu put his hands over his head, held a thousand jun sticks high, and trembled towards the unknown fate.
And the girls were so happy that they all slapped and cheered behind the doors and windows, and became cheerleaders.
In this way, the bamboo pole in Hong Yanwu's hand gradually approached, and it became slower and slower, but finally arrived.
At this time, he suddenly gritted his teeth, and waved his rod to stab the big lotus canopy, up and down, left and right.
First listen to the "pop" twice and it will be crispy, and then it will be the "hum"!
"It's terrible, Cao Cao's soldiers are here......"
In fact, even if it is really Agui's "tiger and leopard ride" to catch it, it is estimated that Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan will not be more afraid than this. At least the "tiger and leopard ride" doesn't have wings, does it?
didn't delay for a moment, Hong Yanwu jumped down first, and then he was a girl. Chen Liquan let out a "whoop", let go of the stool, and jumped violently.
Behind them were swarms of bees that were in hot pursuit.
Luckily, the shelter is right at hand. Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan jumped to the door of the Shui family in a few steps.
But just when they thought they were about to be safe, they grabbed the doorknob and pulled it like this—I'm going, and I can't move?
Stuck?
Hong Yanwu immediately threw the national flag pole and shook it, pushed it, kicked it again, it, and didn't move!
How did this door get locked from the inside?
Looking at it again, Shui Lan was slapping his face and laughing through the door!
Now I understand everything, this hairy girl! dirty eyes are really poisonous!
Soon, Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan were all bitten and cracked their mouths, and they began to run around.
But every house is locked. I don't know if the girls were scared, or if they all said it in advance, and no one opened the door for them.
What's even more unfortunate is that Chen Liquan saw that the momentum was not right, so he turned around and ran to the front yard. Hong Yanwu ran after him, and in a panic, he actually hit the grape trellis with a heel.
only heard the sound of "stabbing", and his pants were actually scraped by the wire of the kidnapper. Now he couldn't even run, and he was born to become a target of human flesh.
It's over!
Hong Yanwu's heart was suddenly gloomy, it was a cold and cold! Facing the black and numb piece in front of him, he could no longer hold back his fear, and began to howl and cry!
But at this time, the savior appeared!
As soon as Shui Qingcai, who had just come back from outside, entered the courtyard, he saw this scene like Yang Zaixing's horse trapped in the Xiaoshang River.
It's impossible to say she's not scared. But some people are born to do great things, and the more urgent it is, the more they can exert their power that they can't usually imagine.
Shui Qinghal has the haste of "Sima Guang smashing the cylinder". Without saying a word, he picked up the national flag pole on the ground, and after opening it, he rushed to Hong Yanwu and danced wildly. Then he stuffed the flag in his hand and let him rely on it for the time being to protect himself.
Then, Shui Qing picked up a handful of broom lumps by the wall, put them in the stove in the courtyard and lit them, and then leaned on the smoke and began to smoke the wasps.
Needless to say, this is certainly the right medicine for the situation, and it is a very effective trick. After a while, the courtyard was finally gradually restored.
At this time, looking at Hong Yanwu again, it was unprecedentedly desolate.
There were two bags on each of the eyelids, and they were so swollen that they couldn't even open their eyes. But the tears are still loud, and depending on the meaning, you have to dry the tear ducts.
In addition, the pants were torn, and the gaps opened from the pants pocket to the knees, revealing a leg that was stung all over the bag. It's really upright, and there is no doubt that he is an unlucky guy.
This incident even caused Hong Yanwu's psychology to fall into sequelae.
One is that he has had a prejudice against women since then, thinking that most women are born to deceive people, and he especially hates Shui Lan in his bones.
The second is that he doesn't like "buzzing" things very much, and in the future, whether it is flies, mosquitoes, or vacuum cleaners, he will have a headache and hate it when he hears it.
But on the other hand, Hong Yanwu is also more grateful to Shui Qing. It is no exaggeration to say that Shui Qing is like his savior.
If it weren't for the appearance of this big sister, and the hornets would have fought wittily and heroically. Even if he can save his life, the bag on his body will at least be many times more.
Just this kind of hot pain, the itch that pierces the heart is several times more than that, and it is not something that a child like him can endure at all. If you are uncomfortable, you have to give him a painful death.
In addition, Shui Qing's handling of the incident also made Hong Yanwu quite satisfied.
As soon as she figured out the cause and effect, Shui Qing not only "stabbed" Shui Lan in front of Hong Yanwu, but also made her cry. Then when he went to the Hong family and the Chen family to apologize, he also gave Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan a basket full of milk grapes.
Especially when Shui Qing was rubbing vinegar on Hong Yanwu's wound and mending his pants with a stitch and a thread, Hong Yanwu clearly saw that Shui Qing's neck and arms were also stung with patches of redness and swelling......
This is the confirmation of Shuiqing's kindness. This is Shui Qing's two rescues to Hong Yanwu.
Even if many years have passed, most of the details of these two events are still fresh in Hong Yanwu's memory, and everything seems to be right in front of him.
So although he didn't know what was going on with the child Shui Qing brought back, he still completely believed Aunt Bian's explanation.
In his eyes, there is probably no one in the world who is more sympathetic and helpful than this big sister. No dirty water should be splashed on her head.
Besides, what if things are as everyone speculates?
This kind of thing doesn't mean anything, it only shows that women are the weak ones who are hurt. It is more important to be forgiven and sympathized with. And Shui Qing is always the one who makes him grateful. The more difficult he is, the more he should help.
It's just a pity that in fact, in his previous life, Hong Yanwu didn't know Shui Qing's fate in the future.
This is because when he returned home from teaching, it was already 1981. Moreover, at that time, he only had the word selfishness to describe, and he had nothing else in his heart except himself.
He didn't remember the child Shui Qing brought back, and he didn't know that Shui Qing went to college, and he didn't even remember whether he had seen Shui Qing again.
The only thing that left the impression was that before he was imprisoned again, the Shui family seemed to have moved away from the West Courtyard.
