Chapter 32: A Beautiful Story (1)
I am particularly willing to describe the countryside, because it is the place where I was born and raised, but this does not mean that the countryside is an absolute pure land, and there are many unpleasant memories of childhood, but compared with more good memories, the nostalgia of continuous abandonment has always haunted me. The countryside is indeed simple, good is also pure, evil is also direct, even in a natural village with a population of more than 800 like Dingxi Village, there is no shortage of bad children like Sanmao.
Sanmao here is a "nickname", not the writer Sanmao, but this person did pull out three locks of hair on his head and deliberately created the image of three hairs, the purpose is to tell everyone that I am bad. He was born in a group of Dingxi Village, his real name is Jin Huanqun, it should be said that he is a very atmospheric name, and he can be well-known when he enters the family tree, but since he got the name Sanmao, no one remembers his name anymore, let alone thinks that he can still enter the family tree.
He is very old, only in the fourth grade of primary school at the age of 13, so compared to other classmates who are less than ten years old, the capital of bullying is enough, and his father is a pig killer in the village, which is a "terrifying" profession that makes children shiver when they hear it, and many people wonder if Sanmao carries a sharp pig-killing knife to school every day.
With false rumors, Sanxiang and Wuli all know the prestige of this "number one villain".
If I were to tell his story, it would only be an ugly story, but fortunately I was going to tell the beautiful story of three children of the same age in the second group of Dingxi Village.
There are three children born in the second group of Dingxi Village almost on the same day, they can be said to be the same age, two boys and one girl, coincidentally, the second group was born a total of three children that year, so it is conceivable that their relationship must be very good, go to school together, play together, go to school together, go up the mountain together, play together.
The boy who was a few days older was called Dogtail Grass, the younger boy was called Chestnut, and the girl was named Little Mushroom.
Of course, these are all nicknames.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
This year, the three of them happened to be in the fourth grade, and they were on their way to school.
"Little mushroom, let's go up to the mountains after school today to pick bracken. "Chestnut proposed, because it was already the season for bracken to grow all over the mountains.
Little Mushroom is a lively and cute little girl, but at this time she pouts and does not speak.
Dog Tail Grass waved his hand, made a shushing gesture at the chestnut, and whispered, "She's not happy today, don't mess with her." ”
Chestnut asked suspiciously, "What's wrong?"
Dog Tail Grass said gloomily: "It's not that I didn't bring my younger brother well, and I was scolded by my family again." ”
Chestnut complained: "Why is the third aunt always like this, or we can help her take her younger brother." What do you say, the grass and the mushrooms are still so small. ”
Dog's tail grass gave him a chestnut on the head: "It seems like you are big." ”
The two were chirping crookedly, but the little mushroom had already turned his head to look at the two of them, and the two were suddenly silent, who knew that the little mushroom suddenly laughed and said, "What are you doing, can't you go up the mountain to pick delicious food?"
The three children immediately cheered, jumping and jumping for the idea that they had already made up their minds, and had already put their unhappiness behind them.
This is the characteristic of their age, where troubles always come and go away quickly.
At that time, it was usually only 4 o'clock in the afternoon after school, so they decided to go up the mountain first and then go home, picked a lotus leaf as a basket on the way, and walked over the mountain to a high mountain on the way to school.
It doesn't actually take more than ten minutes to climb a mountain of about 100 meters.
It was still more than two hours before dark, so they were not so much here to pick bracken as to go up the hill to play. One would pick a few flowers and put them on his head, then he would take down the core of the wild taro and blow it all over the mountains, and then he would climb up the palm tree to pick the fruit, and take out the seeds and scatter them among themselves.
By the time they reached the edge of a terraced field, they didn't have enough bracken in their hands to grab a hand.
However, this result did not affect any of their emotions at all.
Their purpose was to play, so when they saw what appeared to be a vole on the ridge of the terrace, Dogtail Grass suggested that the biggest task of the day was to catch it.
So the three of them divided the labor, the dog's tail grass copied from the east end of the ridge, the chestnut slowly approached from the west end of the ridge, and the little mushroom stood on the ridge of the next hill of rice field to prevent the field mouse from slipping down.
Voles are the same as people, they don't run up stupidly when they are panicked, they only drill down, and although they are young, they are good at catching voles.
So when the little mushroom stood on the ridge below, and the cat waist watched the two big children tiptoe over the half of the ridge that belonged to her, she covered her mouth and did not make a sound but was happy.
The vole seemed to be aware of the danger, apparently approaching on both sides, and was about to turn and flee, but it was too late, two half-grown children with arrows had already swooped in, one holding his neck and the other grabbing his tail.
The two little boys cheered almost at the same time, holding the hapless little vole and showing off to the little mushroom.
But today this vole seems to be an anomaly, its skills are also extremely agile, and the brute force is not small, the little boys are happy, the vole has broken free from the small hands that are stuck in his neck, only the tail is dragged, so it began to twist its body desperately, in order to escape!
The chestnut panicked, the tail was getting shorter and shorter, and it was about to get rid of it, and when it was too late, the dog's tail grass stretched out his hands in time to hold the vole that suddenly fell from the chestnut's hand, but one of his feet inevitably slipped off the ridge and plunged into the slimy mud.
The little mushroom was startled at first, and then he leaned back and laughed, and you said that these two people are too stupid!
Before the dog's tail grass could pull his little feet out of the mud, he and Chestnut heard a peculiar sound—ahhhhh
It turned out that the little mushroom actually laughed so much that he fell directly into the next paddy field, let out an exclamation, and then smashed an old high splash.
They were stunned, and the little mushroom was already covered in muddy water, and stood up unkempt, staring at them viciously through a few locks of thin hair full of soup.
For children in the countryside, it is not a matter to go up the mountain, but if she falls into the water, she will be beaten, and she is no exception to being a girl.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
For this matter, Little Mushroom was really beaten by her mother, and the saddest thing is that her mother also gave a death order not to let Little Mushroom and these two "bad" guys go to school together in the future.
They couldn't bear it anymore, so they went to Little Mushroom's house to reason, but to no avail, Little Mushroom went around to the other side of the wooden house, waved at them, and they went to the shelf opposite the window.
"It's all you. Let's go......" Little Mushroom grumbled.
Not only were the two little boys not ashamed, but they laughed there, and then they encouraged the little mushrooms to climb down from the window and sneak out to play together.
This time, the little mushroom ignored them, but closed the window herself.
Outside the window, the two felt bored, so they left Little Mushroom's house in a daze, and they also knew that she had a strict mother.
In the next month, Little Mushroom really obeyed her mother's request, and always went to school after the two of them left, or arrived at school early.
This makes the dog's tail grass and chestnut very depressed.
They plan to find a way to break out of this awkward situation.
No one thought that-
At this moment, a very unpleasant thing happened.
