CHAPTER 12
Qu Mo vigorously counted the entrance of the alley he walked through, paying attention to the location characteristics of each corner, and after ten minutes they came to a gate, Qu Mo remembered that it was the penultimate gate, the positive third, there was an iron ring on the gate, and one of the doors had a circular opening, and the lock seemed to have not been changed for many years, covered with rust. After entering the house, Cui Ying and Qu Xiangming politely greeted this old girl for a while, Qu Mo didn't listen to what they were saying, he kept looking at this strange place blankly, thinking that he would live here alone in the future, he was suddenly scared, he left home for the first time when he was so big, he didn't know the old man in front of him at all, how could he live in someone's house, and then look at the floor, walls, and furnishings in the house, everything was so unfamiliar, Qu Mo's heart began to panic, he wanted to go home. But Cui Ying and Qu Xiangming had already finished talking to his aunt, "It's okay, it's okay, it's empty anyway," "Where is it not to live!" "What kind of bedding, I also have it here, even if you use it, what are you afraid of?" ...... It's goodbye.
After going out, Qu Xiangming took out a few pieces of money from the inside of his jacket, these money seemed to have been taken for a long time, and they were all stained with dirt, Qu Xiangming counted a piece of ten yuan and handed it to Qu Mo, and then twisted two pieces and gave them to Qu Mo.
"I'll go to the school cafeteria to eat, I've asked, the school has a canteen, you go there to eat after class, and I'll go back to your aunt's house after class in the afternoon, I'll send you over the shop you want to build in the afternoon, remember the road to your aunt's house?"
Qu Mo nodded, but he was very reluctant in his heart,
"Then let's go, go to school first to settle you down, I estimate that the time is about the same, just now from your aunt's house I saw that the next clock is twelve forty, I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up, don't you have leftover bread in the morning, if you're hungry, eat some, and then don't go to school to buy some food,"
Before leaving, Qu Mo heard Qu Xiangming and his mother-in-law say, "After delivering the futon in the afternoon, I will also stop by the station——" Qu Mo knew that his father was going out to work again, Qu Mo followed behind them, just moved slowly, followed the road he had walked before to the teaching building, Qu Xiangming said and told Qu Mo that he was the only one who was assigned to class 24, and looked around to find his class on the fourth floor, and when they arrived there, they saw that the students were basically full, and the homeroom teacher had not yet come, so they stood at the door and waited, and the students who came in and out would look at them curiously. Finally waited for the teacher, and as soon as he saw Qu Xiangming, he took the initiative to meet him.
"Hello, teacher, are you Teacher Liu?" "Hello!" I have only seen this word in textbooks, and I have never heard anyone say it in real life, in this remote small county, few people know how to use these polite words, and I don't know where Qu Xiangming learned it.
"Well, yes," the other party was a middle-aged man in his forties, wearing large black-framed old-fashioned glasses, and nodded.
"Oh, I'm here to send my children to school, did Principal Wang tell you, said to let our family Qumo transfer to your class-"
"Oh," Teacher Liu smiled, "I said, I know, where is the child, have you come here?" Teacher Liu suddenly became enthusiastic,
"Come on, Qu Mo! come!" Qu Xiangming shouted,
"The teacher called you, come over quickly!" Cui Ying also urged on the side, Qu Mo walked in front of the two,
"That's it, okay, come on, follow me. As he spoke, Mr. Liu took Qu Mo into the classroom, Mr. Liu glanced up, the classroom was black, and there was no seat for a long time, he didn't think much about it and let Qu Mo sit in the first row of the classroom, and the other two classmates squeezed together, and asked the classmates to find a stool, and the students next to him took the initiative to give up some places, the table was the same as the desk in Qumo Primary School, the old-fashioned double wooden table, Qu Mo had no place to put his schoolbag on the ground, and then took out a stationery box and an exercise book, ready for class. Qu Xiangming and Cui Ying have been standing at the door, watching Qu Mo prepare all this, Teacher Liu turned around and took them out, Qu Mo looked at them talking not far from the door, and felt very uncomfortable, thinking that they would leave soon, and he was the only one left here. After a while, Qu Xiangming leaned in from the door again and said, "I'll go to your aunt's house after class in the afternoon!"
"Got it," Qu Mo responded, and then Cui Ying also followed, just half a head into the classroom, "Have you finished eating the bread?"
"Oh!" Qu Mo was embarrassed to speak in front of so many people, and just replied in a low voice.
"Then let's go, you can read it well, and go to your aunt's house after school to know!" Cui Ying was still settling Qu Mo while retreating, just like that, Cui Ying and Qu Xiangming left school, and Qu Mo wanted to start his middle school career alone.
Qu Mo has been a wooden and dedicated child since he was a child, and it is easy to immerse himself in anything, when he was a child, children in the countryside liked to play with slingshots, Qu Mo did not have a slingshot for a long time, and he couldn't do it himself, so he had to follow others every day to help pick up stones, and wait for others to play without him being able to borrow a few hits. So as soon as he had time, he wandered around the mountains in the hope of finding a suitable branch, for which he often did not even do homework every day, and the branch was found and the most difficult rubber band to find, and the best way to make a slingshot was of course the kind of "chicken intestines" that were specially sold, which cost five cents a pair, but he didn't have it. After a while, people in the village will come to collect the rags, such as wine bottles, soda bottles, Scrap iron, but these things are scarce in the countryside, every household will consciously accumulate these, because often in the mountains to turn Qumo knows a strange thing, that is, in those unoccupied mountain recesses occasionally there will be a lot of bottles, in fact, some tomb robbers passed through this place left, so one by one, wine bottles are a point, has been saving for three months to save enough fifty Qumo to quietly tell the neighbors, ask them to help take it and sell it. With a slingshot, the next thing you need is a "bullet" , The so-called bullet is actually a stone picked up by the river, generally children play is just pick up some stones of about the same size, but Qu Mo will not be like this, the difference in the size of the stones he picks is almost impossible to distinguish with the naked eye, each is nearly round, the weight is moderate, never like others randomly picked up some heavy and some light, hit out either too heavy to cause the range to be too short or too floating without accuracy, other people's bullets are thrown away, he shot out of the bullet basically has to be picked up, because each one is carefully selected。 After he got his own slingshot, he thought about it every day in class, where to go after school, how to aim, how hard to use, if he hit a bird, everyone would cheer and make a delicious meal, someone collected firewood, someone fetched water, someone stole salt from home, all he thought about was this, and when he thought about it, it was a whole class. Qu Mo likes to play with the children in the village, and every year there are new games, I don't know where they come from, anyway, someone always teaches them, play almonds, scratch bones, play stone cards, wrestle, break through the level, in the sixth grade they began to play a multiplayer game called "Break the Pass", with their own sewn cloth bag with corn kernels inside to hit the painted "Guannai" The people, they learned a lot of tricks, such as talking to you, while you are not paying attention, throw the cloth bag over, or point to the east and west, Qu Mo is also obsessed with this game, and he also invented another way to play, that is, to play fast with slow, because most people like to shoot fast, so everyone reacts quickly, as long as they look at the shoulder of the person who threw the cloth bag with a slight shake, he will quickly jump very high, Qu Mo came up with this way of playing is to make a big force, a small force, the movement of the shoulder is not disguised, but the arm is not strong others can not see, the other party jumped very high first, but when the cloth bag came over, he had already fallenAnd soon this style of play was also recognized by everyone, Qu Mo was very happy, thinking that the first thing he would do when he returned on the weekend was to find them to play this game, because he thought of a more hidden method......
