Chapter 4 The Lonely Fox in the Coal City
Things are nowhere near as serious as thought.
Criminal Law Article 17: [Age of Criminal Responsibility]Persons who have reached the age of 16 shall bear criminal responsibility for committing crimes. A person who has reached the age of 14 but is not yet 16 years old and commits the crimes of intentional homicide, intentional injury causing serious injury or death, rape, robbery, drug trafficking, arson, explosion, or poisoning shall bear criminal responsibility. Those who are under the age of 14 do not bear criminal responsibility, and their parents are to make civil compensation to the victims, and if necessary, send them to a juvenile detention center for re-education through labor.
Li Muye, who had been away for half a year, was sent back by the police. didn't even have the opportunity to enter the juvenile detention center, because Zhang Na's mother reported that the child was abandoned by his parents one after another, which caused him to be mentally stimulated, and he was different from other children on weekdays, silent and not lively at all. At every turn, he stabbed a knife at a big tree. Like a landmine, it can explode at any time, and if it is sent to a juvenile detention center, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no more problems.
Sent to a psychiatric hospital? You have to pay for sending you to the hospital, and who will pay for it? The police station definitely doesn't have this obligation. The parents' unit is engaged in the diversion of laid-off workers, and they do not have the funds and responsibilities. In the end, Zhang Na's mother patted her thigh and said, leave this child to me. If this kind of thing happens again, the old lady is responsible.
Li Muye lay on the cement table tennis table, holding his head in his hands, contemplating to the sun. Two teenagers squatted opposite, each holding a ping-pong racket.
"Brother Ye, why don't you let us go back to the classroom, if you don't go back, the teacher won't talk about you, we can't. The good-looking tall boy pleaded.
"What about a school team like you?" Li Muye turned over, picked up a worn-out table tennis racket on the table, and lit the two of them: "I can shave your heads with such a broken thing, what are you two practicing with this every day?"
"Li Muye, you are bullying people here again. A fair-skinned, big-eyed girl with a ponytail came from the playground and said to the two people squatting on the ground: "Zhang Hao, Chen Tao, it's almost class, what are you two still doing here, do you want to be as useless as someone?"
"My mother asked me to ask you, why didn't you go home for dinner yesterday?" she asked angrily, then took out an aluminum lunch box from her intimate arms, stuffed it into Li Muye's arms, and said: "Eat, eat, eat, my mother specially gave her the most unpromising godson buns, why don't you kill you." With that, he turned around and left.
Li Muye held the lunch box and watched her walk into the teaching building and disappear from sight.
The lunch box still carried the body temperature of a girl, Li Muye lifted the lid of the box, picked up one and stuffed it into his mouth, full of the fragrance of green onion and pork. Zhang Na's father is the head of the purchasing department of the factory, and I heard that the factory is carrying out the shareholding reform recently, and her father, as the most educated and well-informed person in the factory, is competing for the position of factory director. Their family lives in a cadre building, and their food and clothing are the best among the children in the school.
Suddenly I remembered Bai Peng again, this turtle grandson sold himself for a hundred yuan. The old bastard is right, it turns out that the so-called righteousness of the rivers and lakes is sometimes priceless, but more often it is so cheap. Looking at the familiar environment and smelling the smell of cinders, Li Muye felt that the months of free wandering were like a fairly good dream. And Bai Peng is the one who awakens his good dreams.
After delaying a semester of classes, Li Muye, whose grades were already a mess, couldn't keep up. Since the Chinese New Year, he has scored dismal results in many consecutive tests, and now he simply hates going to school.
But Zhang Na's mother insisted on forcing him to come to school, and he stopped going to school until the second year of junior high school.
Godmother is a very good person, but she likes to nag too much. Once you start, it's endless. The two of them and Ye Dad are educated youths who went to the countryside together and returned to the city together. When Ye Dad was young, he liked to dance with guns and sticks, his godmother and godfather were both scholarly families, and they belonged to the stinky old nine class with bad backgrounds, in those hard years, the fate of this kind of person was destined to be very difficult, and this couple was once protected by Ye Dad.
Li Muye had a lot of thoughts, but he couldn't figure it out. How will he live his life in the future? Will he continue to go to school or find another way out? The more than three years of following Li Qizhi have made Li Muye understand a lot, gain a lot of knowledge, and know that life outside is not so easy. Compared to the waiting hall of the train station, the warm heating building and comfortable bedding are obviously more attractive.
The wandering life in the past few months made him realize that he was just a half-grown child who was taken care of and raised, and in terms of heart, even Bai Peng's idiot was more adaptable to life outside than himself. And how to live the future has to be rethought.
There has always been a succession policy in the factory, and with the ability of the godfather, it is probably not a problem to get a place for yourself. The difference is that the age is not yet 16 years old, and even the minimum age for apprenticeship is not enough. But it will not be a problem to change the two-year-old in the coming year. Is that really what he wants to live like that? Li Muye is very unsure.
The footsteps were in my ears, and it was Zhang Na again. As the only daughter of her godfather and godmother who was only thirty years old, she is the pearl of the Zhang family, although she can't talk about being noble, she has developed a princess disease. At the age when love first opened, she was a princess in Li Muye's heart, and she was even a little unattainable.
"Brother, please have something. She walked to the stone table, and her eighty-point face shone with a hundred points, which was a little dazzling.
Li Muye was like a soldier who heard the charge, sat up with a bone, and didn't hesitate at all: "Say, what's the matter?"
"Meng Fanbing asked me to go to the movies at half past six in the evening, the Hollywood blockbuster Broken Arrow Action, I really want to watch it, my mother said that unless you accompany you, you don't worry about our two girls. Zhang Na gently pulled Li Muye's sleeve, and said, "Meng Fanbing, her brother Meng Fanyu will also go, I still have a few questions I want to ask him." ”
Got it.
The girl's spring is always spring, but it's a pity that this spring is not a wild brother.
Li Muye was a little disappointed.
Strictly speaking, this is definitely a beautiful thing. Because, if Zhang Na is the princess in this school, then Meng Fanbing is the most beautiful flower in this school. Her twin brother is a well-deserved school grass in the No. 2 Cold Rolling Mill Middle School.
Although Li Muye likes Zhang Na very much, he doesn't like the pretentious school flower. is even more repulsive to Meng Fanyu, who has nostrils to the sky and looks like a peacock.
••••••
The factory cinema was built in the fifties and is a two-storey red brick building with a spire. On both sides are video halls and billiard rooms, often gathering some idle and unemployed people in society, with sharp eyes, and will not let go of the pockets of every primary school student who passes by.
For the movie at half past six, Li Muye accompanied Zhang Na to the door of the cinema at six o'clock. Whenever there is a movie, there will be a tricycle selling melon seed soda at the door. Zhang Na wanted to eat melon seeds, so she said, brother, you buy them for me. Li Muye bought two packs of melon seeds and a bottle of soda. The money I brought back from running away from home last time has not been spent, and before I came out, Zhang Na's mother gave another ten yuan, three yuan for a movie ticket, and the rest of the money was to buy snacks for Zhang Na.
A little bastard staggered over and waved at Li Muye frivolously: "Child, give me melon seeds and soda, and bring the rest of the money together." "It's a matter of course.
Li Muye rolled his eyes and looked at this guy, and said, "Are you the first?"
The little bastard nodded, threw a cigarette into his mouth, lit it, took a deep breath, and replied, "Yes, what's wrong?"
Li Muye said: "I'm Li Muye from the second middle school, have you heard of the old front door?
The little bastard's face changed, and the assassination of Gao Xiaosong had long been widely publicized in the corners of the city.
Various versions of the legends of the rivers and lakes, after the interpretation of the three tigers, add oil and vinegar, and become more and more miraculous. Some people say that Li Muye, who stabbed people, is mentally ill and that murder is not illegal. It is also said that this Li Muye triangular scraper never leaves his body, draws human acupoints on the big tree every day, and then practices assassination skills. There is even a version that Li Muye's father and son are born with horizontal stripes for two generations, and they will be the stars of the destiny of heaven who have achieved ten thousand bones, and they will kill people when they shoot.
Only Li Muye himself knows that he is a half-grown child who is unable to continue with three meals and is sent under the fence. If it weren't for the hatred with Gao Xiaosong, he would definitely not have made such a dead hand. After more than a month of wandering life, he deeply realized that the outside world is not as romantic as shown in the movie, and the so-called rivers and lakes are more unrighteous people in addition to righteousness.
The little bastard was photographed by the murderous reputation of Li Muye's father and son in the factory area, and retreated regardless of face.
Li Muye returned to Zhang Na with the melon seeds and soda he had bought.
"Brother, why have you been there for so long. Zhang Na was unhappy: "What is there to say to that kind of person, if you dare not learn well, see if I don't ask my mother to clean you up." ”
She is still young, and she doesn't understand that there are some bad people in this world who don't pay attention to what well water doesn't interfere with with river water. Think of a few gossip as a kind of interaction. As the daughter of a good family, she habitually regards the little bastards as flood beasts, and if she messes with a little, she will fall into depravity and learn badly. Since she was a child, she has liked to manage Li Muye like this, and she said this out of concern.
Li Muye smiled: "Don't, don't go home and talk nonsense, otherwise my godmother won't allow me to go back to my own house to live, I don't want to go to your house, live that kind of day when I wash my feet every day, I have to take a shower once every three days at most, and I can't have any smell in the bed." Zhang Na's mother is now Li Muye's legal guardian, and with the authoritative impression she has established since she was a child, whether it is from the perspective of legal obligations or from the perspective of emotion, she can be called the person Li Muye respects the most at the moment.
Li Muye is not afraid of the earth, and he is a little afraid of the godmother who is chattering.
Zhang Na smiled proudly and said, "Brother, don't say that I'm a sister who doesn't want you, I asked Meng Fanbing out today, more than half of the boys in our school have written love letters to her, I have already praised you in front of her, and then it depends on your ability to seize the opportunity." ”
"Didn't you say she had asked you out?" Li Muye deliberately ruthlessly debunked her inconsistent words.
"I hate it!" Zhang Na pinched Li Muye's arm unreasonably, and said, "Let you laugh at me, and when you go home at night, I will sue my mother for your troubles." ”
Meng Fanyu's brother and sister came, and because they were dragon and phoenix twins, they looked nine points similar. When she first entered puberty, her younger sister Meng Fanbing's body had already begun to develop. He is tall, with long shoulder-length hair, delicate and handsome facial features, and an arrogant face, always looking at people with a condescending look. Meng Fanyu is taller, nearly 1.8 meters tall, and is already the tallest one in the same year's group. has a good face, is still a top student, an activist in extracurricular activities, and a basketball captain, which naturally attracts the crowd to bend their waists.
Zhang Na's grades are medium to high, healthy and lively, and her eighty-point face is not the best among many admirers. If there is anything special about it, there is only her father, who is likely to become the first factory director after the restructuring. The parents of the Meng family brothers and sisters all work in the factory, their father is the captain of the small team of the factory, and their mother is the accountant of the branch factory below.
Seeing each other, Zhang Na excitedly pulled Meng Fanbing and greeted Meng Fanyu with a shy smile. The latter just nodded slightly and said, "Hello Zhang Na". Li Muye didn't even bother to speak, and went directly to buy movie tickets.
The movie is very exciting, and throughout the playback, Zhang Na was distracted, peeking at Meng Fanyu from time to time. And Meng Fanyu watched the movie with a proud face. Li Muye was next to Meng Fanbing's other side, smelling the fragrance of the virgin, and the little boy couldn't help but feel a little uneasy. finally survived until the end of the movie, so I can't remember much content of the classic movie. I only remember John Travolta with a mocking look in his eyes and said that life is just a good time.
When I walked out of the movie theater, I was startled by the battle in front of me. I saw that the entrance of the theater was already full of uncles, aunts, aunts, grandparents. There was music accompaniment on the radio, and a baritone was talking, Qigong master Zhang Hongfa's top disciple Qizhi and his mentor closed the door, and Tianmu Lingtong looked at the people of the coal city to see the disease, and sought good fortune to avoid evil and eliminate disasters. The on-site report conference is about to begin.
The cinema, which is also the factory auditorium, is the venue they rented. After the movie, this report will start immediately.
Li Muye planned to send Zhang Na home. Zhang Na said, don't you want to go back to your own house? Why don't you send me along the way? Meng Fanbing said that when I came out, I promised my mother to bring her some fruits back, or you should accompany me to buy fruits and let my brother send Zhang Na.
Looking at Zhang Na's expectant expression, Li Muye suddenly had an evil fire in his belly, but finally nodded and agreed. Zhang Na told me that if you come to my house for dinner tomorrow morning, my mother will ask you not to talk nonsense. Li Muye said, I'll tell my godmother to send you downstairs, and you don't have to say it yourself.
The four soldiers were divided into two ways, and Li Muye accompanied Meng Fanbing to buy fruits. Meng Fan is a little ghost who is building a bridge between his brother and the future factory director, and he has no interest in Li Muye, and Li Muye has no feelings for her, and the two of them have nothing to say along the way. When they arrived at the fruit stall at the entrance of the market, they chose a few oranges and walked back together, going straight to Meng Fanbing's house. As soon as he walked near the factory office building, there were several young people sitting in front of an open-air barbecue stall, and when they saw Meng Fanbing's tall figure from afar, they whistled.
When the two of them approached, several young people stood up one after another, all of them shook a little, and it seemed that they had not lost their drinks, so they were in the middle of the road, and their intentions were already very obvious. Meng Fanbing glanced at Li Muye in horror and helplessness.
"You turn around now and go to the team duty room of the factory office building to find someone to take you home, and you don't care about the affairs here. Li Muye said calmly: "Everyone there knows your father, and they will definitely not ignore you." ”
Meng Fanbing did not hesitate at all, turned around and ran in the direction of the factory office building. Several young people in society immediately set out to chase after them. Li Muye turned sideways and blocked the road. The two sides didn't talk a word of nonsense, and they scuffled together at the slightest contact. Li Muye pounced on the young man running in front like a monkey and bit the other party's nose.
Scream!
The young man slammed Li Muye to the ground, and the hand covering his face gushed blood from his fingers. Li Muye stood up from the ground with a bone, and spat out blood. scolded: "you, you have the ability to make an envoy at me Li Muye, what kind of man is it to bully women." ”
This time it was not easy to mention the name, and several young people, stimulated by the alcohol, had already been angered by the blood light, and pounced recklessly. Li Muye wanted to fight back again, but his arm was already gracted. The fist shoes rained down. He was powerless to fight back. If this continues, you may be killed if you hit the vital point. At the moment of life and death, Li Muye let out an angry cry like a wolf, raised his leg and kicked the crotch of one of them fiercely, and then took advantage of the moment when the person bent over and cried out in pain.
The young people were in hot pursuit, and Li Muye panicked and ran to the backyard of the movie theater in a daze. Seeing that there was no way out in front of him, when he was in a hurry, he suddenly saw a thin middle-aged bearded man coming out of the back door, and he couldn't help but be surprised and happy, and hurriedly ran forward and shouted: Master, help.
The mustache was Li Qizhi, and when he looked at it with sharp eyes, he immediately recognized Li Muye, but he seemed to be in a hurry, and asked anxiously: "Little cub, don't say anything else, don't you see a boy who is not much different from your size going out from here?"
