"168 hours, 24 hours a day...... That's seven days! Arrest the prisoner? I'm still a child!"

Wang He, who received the task, was depressed and wanted to die:

"With my little arms and legs now, I still want to catch a wanted criminal?

Just when Wang He was sullen, a dark green three-wheeled sidecar motorcycle drove over, and after stopping at the gate, three people got out of the car, all three of them were wearing olive green uniforms, one of them was tall and burly, and his face under the big cap was not as dark as the two people in front of him, but rather white.

The man got out of the car, saw Wang He squatting next to him, and shouted:

"Wang He, what are you doing here?"

"Didn't do anything. ”

Wang He looked up and saw that this was Qiu Jianjun, a neighbor who lived next door, and he was worried in his heart, so he responded casually, and then his eyes lit up:

"Police?"

Wang He quickly stood up and ran over and asked:

"Xiao Qiu, are you going to arrest a wanted criminal?"

Qiu Jianjun had thick eyebrows and big eyes, a righteous face, his face was flat, and he pretended to be unhappy and said:

"It's not big or small, is Xiao Qiu your name? Uncle Qiu. ”

Qiu Jianjun is a foreigner and speaks Mandarin. He was the youngest of the staff in the entire town government, less than 20 years old, and Wang He usually heard his father and other uncles and aunts call him Xiaoqiu, so he also called him blindly, and most of the other half-grown children in the yard also called him that. Every time he called that, he pretended to be unhappy, but after a while it became cloudy.

This is because most of the staff in the government courtyard are basically married and have families, and if everyone chats together after work, Qiu Jianjun and married people have no common topic, plus they can't understand the local dialect, but can play with half-grown children.

In this era, many adults' Mandarin is very bad, commonly known as half ocean and half earth, but most primary and secondary school students' Mandarin is more standard than adults.

Wang He grinned and said:

"What's so good about calling you Uncle Qiu? Why don't you call you Old Qiu...... No, that's not good!"

Wang He suddenly thought of "Lao Qiu = Uncle", which is still a generation lower. In the local dialect, Qiu and Uncle are homophones.

Qiu Jianjun felt inexplicable:

"What, that's not good, that's not good?"

Wang He hurriedly said:

"It's nothing, let's call you Brother Jun. Brother Jun, did you go looking for a wanted criminal today? Did you find any useful clues?"

Qiu Jianjun slapped Wang He's head, which seemed to be like the wind, but it fell gently, rubbed it, and made a mess of Wang He's hair:

"Why are you a little kid asking so much?

After saying that, he turned around and went in, just took two steps, remembered something, saw that there was no one left and right, turned around, took out two dollars from his pocket and said softly:

"Go buy me a few coins and come back. ”

Wang He was stunned for a moment before remembering that the currency he said was game currency, and asked while taking it:

"Why don't you buy it?"

Qiu Jianjun said stupidly:

"None of the bosses sold it to me. This glorious task will be handed over to you in the future. ”

Wang He watched Qiu Jianjun leave, remembering that there was no special game hall in the town at this time, only an arcade machine was placed in the corner of a few shops, if you want to play, you can play for six game coins for one dollar, the main players are primary and secondary school students, but I didn't expect this big policeman to also love to play.

Nanlong County belongs to the Hakka area, and the county seat and township every few days is a polder day, or market day, that is, the market trading day, also known as the market. Different towns, the time of the polder day is not necessarily the same, in Liulong Town, it is every time the mantissa of the old calendar is three, six, nine is the polder day, in the county, every time the mantissa of the old calendar is one, four, seven is the polder day.

The Hakka people call the market to go to the polder, every polder day, the streets of the town from about eight o'clock in the morning will be more crowded, farmers near and far to their surplus grain, vegetables, fruits, livestock and poultry to sell, and so on to sell the money, first the family urgently needed things, such as oil, salt, pesticides, fertilizers, etc., and then if there is still money left, will consider adding some other items, such as children's clothes, shoes, etc.

Today happens to be the day of the polder, but this time is already more than three o'clock in the afternoon, and the polder has already dispersed, that is, the people who went to the polder have gone home.

Wang He walked out into the street, and at a glance, the pedestrians and stalls on the street were sparse, and most of the houses on both sides of the street were tiled houses with civil engineering structures, and there were only a handful of houses with more than three floors. In these years, cars are rarely seen in the township, even motorcycles, and the means of transportation are mainly by legs and bicycles. Most of the clothes that people wear are dark-colored clothes that are resistant to dirt, and it is a very common thing to have one or two patches on the clothes, and no one will make a fuss.

At this time, Wang He realized that he was not short-sighted, and he could see the general appearance of the people at the end of the street at a glance from the street.

Wang He walked slowly, and the scene that had been blurred in his memory gradually became clear and familiar again:

The meals at this restaurant were delicious.

The elastic gooseskin tube that I bought from this garage to use as a bicycle valve core is sturdy and durable when used to make a slingshot.

This company sells the most varieties of popsicles, including creamy, mung beans, and so on.

The video hall of this house is on the second floor, and you have to go up a wooden staircase to watch the video, and the floor on the second floor is also a wooden floor, with seven or eight benches, and the middle of the third and fourth rows is the best viewing position......

"Huh? ”

In the commissary opposite the video hall, Wang He saw several elementary school students about the same age as himself, gathered in a corner, staring intently at the front, and shouting there excitedly from time to time:

"Cut him!"

"Eat blood!"

"Jump!"

……

In this year, this scene can only make these elementary school students so addicted to the arcade.

Wang He went in to take a look, there was a person on the machine operating the joystick and clapping the button, the audience behind him was more engaged than him, sometimes elated, sometimes sighing, one by one fists clenched, almost went up to operate it himself. But there's only one machine here, and you have to queue up if you want to play. The graphics of the game are familiar, but Wang He doesn't remember the name of the game.

Compared with many people of the same age, Wang He's familiarity with the game can only be described as average. Most games cost money and time to familiarize yourself with the characters, levels, and techniques. Unfortunately, Wang He, who lives in the countryside, has neither pocket money nor much time, so from primary school to middle school, Wang He basically doesn't know how to play the games in the game hall.

Maybe it's because I haven't been fully trained in elementary school and junior high school, or because I don't have talent, after the rise of computer games, Wang He has played Age of Empires, Red Alert, StarCraft, CS, Warcraft, etc., all of which are very average.

Wang He looked at it for a while, took out the money given by Qiu Jianjun and bought twelve coins, which were heavy in his pocket. After coming out of the store, seeing that it was still early, Wang He continued to wander the street.

When I passed through an alley, I saw a large piece of paper pasted on the wall, which was written in black and white:

Martial arts films

Monk Zhiyong

In this movie, Wang He is a bit imprinted, the process is forgotten, the ending seems to be that the protagonist escaped to a cave, melted an ice statue with a torch, and chased the big boss into the cave, and the old monk who had been frozen for many years in the ice statue broke the ice and flew to kill the big boss with one palm.

People don't know much about blockbusters these days, but as long as the movie has the words "martial arts film" written on it, it will definitely attract a large number of primary and secondary school students to watch it. At this time, it is cheap to watch a movie, if it is a new film, a ticket for a film that has just been released will cost a dollar, a ticket for a common one will cost five cents, and if it is an old film that has been released for a long time, you can go in and watch it for only two cents or three cents.

I remember that there was a projectionist in the cinema who didn't take much money from Wang He, at first Wang He thought it was because of the dim light in the cinema, but later he saw that he took out the money and handed it over, and he confiscated it, so he felt strange. Once I talked to my mother at home, I learned that the person was a distant relative of my grandmother. The man apparently knew himself, but he didn't.

Seven or eight meters down the alley into the cinema, there was a faint crisp sound of swords intersecting, and the crackling sound of fists and feet colliding.

Wang He stood at the entrance of the alley and fell into memory, he didn't know that the people passing by thought that the child wanted to go to the movies, and there was no money in his pocket.

There may be many book lovers who don't know much about the Hakka people, so here is a brief explanation:

Hakka is not an ethnic minority, but a branch of the Han ethnic group. The origin of Hakka began in the period when Qin Shi Huang conquered Lingnan and Rong Baiyue.

The Hakka people are a Han ethnic group with Hakka as their mother tongue, and are an important part of the local residents of Guangdong, Jiangxi, Fujian, Taiwan and other provinces in China.

It is estimated that there are about 80 million Hakka people worldwide. Among them, about 50 million people are distributed in more than 180 cities and counties in 19 provinces including Guangdong, Jiangxi, Fujian, Guangxi, Sichuan, and Hainan, and the number of local Hakka in Guangdong has reached about 25 million, accounting for one-third of the local ethnic groups in Guangdong. About 6 million people are distributed in Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan, and about 15 million people are distributed in more than 80 countries and regions such as Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Singapore, Vietnam, the United States, Peru, and Mauritius, and Hakka is also an important part of the local language.
