At the end of April, not long after Qingming, the weather in Jiangnan was warm and cold, and Chen Kun looked out the window.

The wind on the playground flutters with the fallen camphor leaves, occasionally lifting the skirt of the girl on the playground.

On the telephone pole that is level with the classroom on the third floor, there is a row of sparrows standing on the long wires, chirping non-stop.

The time is 1996, the city is Yuzhang, a small city in the south of the Yangtze River, and the location is a middle school that has long existed in memory.

Looking around, Chen Kun asked himself with a blank face: Why am I here?

Looking at the familiar or disappeared faces in the classroom, looking at the textbooks of the third year of junior high school on the desk.

Chen Kun felt that his thinking had never been so clear in his life, he was still driving on the highway in the last second, thinking about what arrangements were in the afternoon, and the next second he found himself in a familiar and unfamiliar environment.

The intense fear made Chen Kun's whole body tremble slightly, but fortunately he didn't have the same table, as one of the naughtiest children in the class, he sat alone at the back of the classroom.

All I think about is why I came here, why I dreamed, is it a dream now, or is it a dream twenty years after graduation? It's so real, it's terrifying, it's shocking.

Wang Han walked over, patted the table gently, interrupted Chen Kun's train of thought, and said with a nervous face: "Kunzi, the gang of pork ribs are really waiting for you at the school gate, I just saw the third brother on the way to the shop, what about the people in their twenties, you must not go out after class, if not, tell the teacher."

Ribs are a social gangster in the area around the school, in his twenties, occasionally robbing students of money, falling in love with girls from surrounding schools or something, and doing bad things all over the streets.

In the eyes of Wang Han's group of teenage junior high school students, this is obviously an existence that cannot be provoked.

Chen Kun asked blankly: "Ribs?Block me?Distant memories slowly emerged from his mind.

How did Chen Kun get into trouble with these people? It's actually quite interesting, in those days, there were no Internet cafes or anything, what was popular at that time? The first choice was ice skating.

A large group of boys and girls play together, there is no more interesting activity than ice skating, there is no ice in the south, of course roller skating.

It's just that since there are boys and girls, the bastards in the society naturally like it, and it's the most interesting thing to grab some students' money and soak a girl or something.

Don't look at the age when love first opened, Chen Kun had a little girlfriend who was in love at that time, and at that time, it was pure to fall in love, and holding hands was a great action.

It's simple and simple, Ribs has fallen in love with his girlfriend, they are all enthusiastic age, so naturally they won't admit it, at that time, every skating rink owner invited someone to watch the field, mainly to prevent trouble.

When the ribs left, they said that they wanted Chen Kun to look good in two days, and today they led more than 20 thugs to block him.

In fact, Chen Kun understands that he doesn't need so many people to get himself, and he shouts so many people just to make a name for himself.

Back then, this incident made Chen Kun embarrassed, a fat beating was indispensable, he was forced to kneel or something, his little girlfriend didn't get along with him, and his friends who played with him were also estranged.

Regardless of whether it is a dream or not, Chen Kun feels that he has to do something, at least he has to teach the pork ribs gang some lessons, can Chen Kun do it? The fifteen-year-old Chen Kun is definitely not good, and the thirties Chen Kun feels that the ribs gang are not enough to see.

I made a decision in my heart, looked at the electronic watch on my wrist, the time was 2:20, and said to Wang Han: Let's find Huizi to make up money, and I'll find a way to solve it.

With that, he got up and walked out of the classroom, even though there were still ten minutes left before the class started.

The Crazy Boy series, which was just released this year, has to be said to have a great influence on the half-grown children of that era, as if all the people had a circle and a group overnight.

At that age when it was impossible to distinguish between black and white, good and bad, everyone was proud of the mixed society, and every day they opened their teeth and claws, eager to learn to walk horizontally.

At that time, Chen Kun also had his own circle, although Chen Kun was not tall, let alone strong, but his brain was alive, and he was ruthless enough, and he was also famous in the third year of junior high school, Chen Kun, Wang Han, Huizi Liu Hui was in a circle, among the three, Liu Hui had the best grades and the best family background, but he was also mixed in a circle due to the atmosphere at the time, but later Chen Kun was beaten, and the third year of the junior high school exam was separated, and Liu Hui went farther and farther away.

came to the second class, didn't call anyone, and went directly into the classroom, the two explained their intentions, Liu Hui was also interesting enough, and directly took out seventy yuan in his schoolbag and handed it to Chen Kun.

In those days when popsicles were two cents, this number was not a small number, and in those years, ten or eight dollars in his pocket were considered rich. The gang of bastards with ribs stopped a student at the door and grabbed more than three or five yuan.

Chen Kun also knew that although Liu Hui's family was wealthy, these dozens of yuan were a long time of pocket use, but now that he looks back, it seems that Liu Hui has been the most angry among the three since he was a child.

After taking the money, Chen Kun said, "I will find a way to repay you this money." ”

Liu Hui waved his hand and said: "Our two brothers don't say this, it's just Kunzi, the ribs gang come over, you hand over the money, it is estimated that you will have to block you next time."

Liu Hui thought that Chen Kun wanted to let the bastards outside the school let them let him go, but he felt that it was not feasible and couldn't help but remind him.

The reason is actually very simple, the bastards around the campus in those years used to blackmail students to make a living, and you handed over a lot of money, so naturally you sent fat sheep to be slaughtered, and from then on, you really couldn't live in peace with the locusts.

Chen Kun smiled and said, "I know, don't worry, brother, this money will buy a lesson for the ribs guys, and wait to watch the show." ”

After saying that, he patted Liu Hui on the shoulder and walked out.

When I went back to my classroom, the bell rang, and I took my bag from the drawer and put the books back in the drawer.

smiled at Wang Han and said silently, "Wait for me to come back." ”

Li Qian, the little girlfriend who rushed over again, showed a ruffian smile.

At this time, the physics teacher had just entered the classroom, and the whole class stood up, and Chen Kun rushed out of the back door of the classroom while taking advantage of this.

Teacher Li saw a figure running out, and when he saw that Chen Kun's position was empty, he frowned, opened his mouth, and finally started to go directly to class.

I went downstairs and passed by the school's playground, everything was so familiar, the handrails were grinding clear single and parallel bars, the sand pit full of footprints, the camphor trees on both sides were changing leaves, and the wind blew through the reddened leaves and fluttered up.

At class time, the whole playground was empty and there was no one in the whole playground, everything was so familiar and so unfamiliar.

The wind at the end of April was cool on his body, but Chen Kun felt hot all over his body.

Chen Kun said to himself: Maybe I'm really back.

As soon as his brain was hot, he shouted at the top of his voice regardless of it: Brother is back.

In fact, the whole school is not big, and the back of the playground is separated by a wall that is not too high, which is the family area, which is connected to the street outside.

The gang of bastards at the main entrance of the school were blocked and said that they didn't dare to leave, and they couldn't get out, so they naturally had to climb the wall and go.

There are alleys outside the family area, and there is a hutong culture in the north, and most of the hutongs are connected.

In fact, the alleys in the south are also a kind of culture, and most of the mottled alleys are the products of old buildings, maybe small, maybe moss-mottled, but this is the annual ring of the city.

It is also the memory of one or several generations, the plaques carved in red stone or granite on the alleys, the door frames and window lattices carved in wood, including the bluestone paved on the ground and the wheel prints of the large board cars deeply imprinted on the stone slabs, are the precipitation of this city, but unfortunately most of the old buildings left by the Ming and Qing dynasties are about to be bulldozed in the urban transformation more than ten years later.

It's hard to understand the thinking of city managers, and it's hard to say what to do with tearing down a centuries-old mansion and erecting a concrete building that can be completed in a year.

It's just that these Chen Kun don't have time to think, the gang of bastards blocking the ribs at the school gate in front of him is also a small hill blocked in Chen Kun's life in a sense, Chen Kun chose to compromise in his previous life, and this time Chen Kun plans to give him a brilliant appearance.

Coming out of school, he naturally planned to move the rescue soldiers, although the gang of ribs is not a good idea, they are also a little famous in this area, Chen Kun knows more than their gang?

Chen Kun's current residence is actually not far from the school, this area is full of large and small alleys, some of the large mansions in the alleys have become a large courtyard due to some historical problems, more than a dozen families live in a courtyard, mixed fish and dragons, in later generations this was defined as a shantytown.

Speaking of which, whether it is the mixed society of that era, the general conditions at home are not very good, and those who really have a background must be disdainful, most of them are muddy, and they feel like they can't get out one day, and they don't wash their hands, and occasionally a few unwilling ordinary guys can mix up the position, and most of them pay attention to the righteousness of buddies, help brothers block knives, and help big brothers resist things have been slapped on the rock called reality by the tide of society or law.

Money and background are extremely important things in any era, after all, life is not movies and novels.

Li Changqing, who Chen Kun is looking for, is such a character, he is righteous, he really means the kind of person who sticks a knife in his brother's ribs, he is brave and ruthless, such a person is either a leader or a tragedy.

Chen Kun knows this Chen Changqing is a tragic figure, ten years later, on a rainy night, this Changqing brother answered a call from a certain brother, stood up for his brother, took a dagger and went out, in fact, when he arrived on both sides of the fight was hot, this guy didn't say much in the past, and went up and stabbed two to death and injured one.

Regardless of the fact that the dead were a big deal in that era, this guy resisted everything by himself until he went to court, and went to the court with a smile, saying that he was reckless or generous, anyway, in the era when Chen Kun traveled back, this evergreen brother's grave grass was old.

After Chen Changqing's death, it was okay for the gang of brothers who followed him to mix in his name, but there has never been a shortage of brave and ruthless people in this society.

Of course, at this time, Chen Changqing was still moisturized, looking at a small field, with more than a dozen people under him, it was still a small scenery.

Does Chen Kun know Chen Changqing? At his age, Chen Kun can only be said to have met in person, and knows that there is such a person as Chen Kun, after all, he is from the compound next door.

Familiarity is still in a few years later, but Chen Kun still plans to find him, with Chen Kun's understanding of him in a few years, he knows that this matter finds Chen Changqing, the method is used correctly, he will help, reason? No reason, Chen Kun believes in his own judgment.

Of course, you have to pay attention to the method of doing things, you are so stupid to run over and say Brother Changqing: Help me draw someone.

Then it's over, it's strange not to smoke you, how old are you.

People are holding each other, and you must have a way to do things.

The two of them have met and talked about this road, then you have to have a stepping stone, and the road will be opened after receiving the gift.

Having said so much, Chen Kun planned to buy two cigarettes, and went to talk, Chen Kun felt that he was eighty percent sure of this matter.

However, when it comes to buying cigarettes, Chen Kun's pocket is cleaner than his face, only seventy yuan, or Liu Hui borrowed it, and it was popular to smoke Hongtashan, Ashima, Hongtashan seven yuan, and Ashima six yuan in those years, which is already an excellent cigarette in this era of three or five hundred yuan per capita salary.

There is no order for gifts, I just said that Chen Kun plans to buy two cigarettes, this money is definitely not enough, it doesn't matter, this matter can stump fifteen-year-old Chen Kun, for thirty-five-year-old Chen Kun, it is a trivial matter.

In fact, there is no difficulty at all, there is a cigarette shop at Xinjiekou, the owner is nicknamed Wang Xiaozi, short, thin and lame, and he is not an inconspicuous character at all.

If it weren't for a huge crackdown on counterfeiting a few years later, the guy who monopolized half of the fake cigarettes in the city would have been found out, and it is estimated that most people would not have known such a role for the rest of their lives.

At this moment, Chen Kun appeared at the door of the cigarette hotel, carrying a shoulder bag, and shouted to the lame boss: Boss Wang, my father asked me to take two cigarettes, and handed over sixty yuan.

Ashima is 25, Hongta Mountain is 35, and Chen Kunmen is clear about this.

Wang Xiaozi, in his fifties, is really dark and short, speaking of which this cigarette dealer was also a well-known character on the road back then, that leg was not born lame, it is said that he broke his hamstrings, and later engaged in smuggling fake cigarettes.

After taking the cigarette, Chen Kun stuffed his shoulder bag and left.

Passing by another cigarette shop, I bought a bag of three or five bags, which is also the reputation of the short man's family, and he didn't dare to buy it by smoking Chen Kun by himself.

Do you want to ask if you are afraid of being found out if you send fake cigarettes? Then Chen Kun is really not worried at all, not that Chen Kun looks down on Chen Changqing's gang and can't smoke it, but purely has confidence in Wang Xiaozi, a tobacco dealer.

First of all, fakes were not so rampant in that era, and the awareness of anti-counterfeiting was not high, and the second was that there seemed to be a bottom line for counterfeit dealers in that era, saying that it was fake, but in fact, tobacco was a very good tobacco leaf, you think this guy has never been found to sell fake cigarettes for more than 20 years, and the high quality can be imagined.

With these foundations, Chen Kun naturally has nothing to worry about out of his inexplicable confidence in fake cigarette dealers.

Chen Changqing is easy to find waves? Gangsters like this usually have their own fixed territory, Chen Kun naturally found a quasi-one when he went, saying that it was Chen Changqing's field, but in fact it was a pinball room.

There are only seven or eight people playing, and there are more than a dozen men watching the scene.

When he saw someone, Chen Kun didn't go to stage fright, he took out a pack of cigarettes in his pocket, said hello to Chen Changqing who was sitting on the chair and said: "Brother Qing, my old Chen family Chen Kun, my younger brother I have encountered a difficulty, I want to ask my brother for a favor." ”

As he spoke, he handed over a cigarette to light a fire, and then sent a backhand to the person standing next to him.

He took out his shoulder bag and pulled out two cigarettes on the table.

For Chen Kun, Chen Changqing is still a little impressed, after all, he is also a neighbor, he doesn't look up and look down, he knows that there is such a person, who is studying in junior high school nearby, and he is also a master who doesn't like to read.

Although I haven't dealt with anything before, I can't help but be happy when I see this half-sized kid doing things one by one.

Chen Changqing didn't look at the cigarette on the table, waved his hand and said to a few accomplices next to him, "This kid is my neighbor."

Then he smiled at Chen Kun and said, "What's the matter with the kid, tell my brother." ”

Chen Kun secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, Chen Changqing was willing to answer, and this matter was basically half done.

At the moment, how to clash with the ribs in the skating rink, how to bring people to block themselves today,

Chen Changqing laughed: "It's amazing, it's so big that you can pick up girls, my brother takes care of this matter." ”

Chen Changqing agreed refreshedly, and it is estimated that he really didn't take the ribs in his eyes.

He said to the thin and thin companion next to him: Divide the cigarettes for everyone, leave the two of them to watch the store, and let us buddies go out for a walk later.

Chen Kun knew that this matter would be done, and at this time, seeing that Chen Changqing had a total of about ten people, he had to leave a few people to watch the scene, and reminded at the moment: Brother Qing, there are more than 20 people here for ribs, so you still have to pay attention.

At this time, the man nicknamed Heizi dismantled the cigarettes on the table, each person handed out a pack, and a small half, and handed it to Chen Changqing with the package, Chen Changqing waved his hand, did not answer, smiled and said: "There are many people?

When Chen Kun saw Chen Changqing say this, he made it clear that he didn't take this pork rib to heart, so he didn't mention it anymore, only saying that he had to go back to two classes, and asked Brother Changqing to come over after school in the afternoon.

Chen Changqing listened to the great joy in his heart, this kid clearly doesn't like to read, he is talking about his girlfriend at a young age, and he is running here to ask for help, at this time, the cigarette is not in his hand, and now he is serious and says that he wants to go back to take two classes first, naturally he is very funny, and he thinks that Chen Kun, this kid, is also calm, when he is so old, he is blocked by more than 20 people, not to mention whether he is afraid or not, there must be no ghost idea of him to go out over the wall to move the rescuers.

Heizi saw Chen Kun going out with an empty shoulder bag at this time, so he put the half of the cigarette on the table in front of Chen Changqing and said, "Brother Qing, your neighbor is very fat." ”

After speaking, he shook the lit cigarette in his hand, yes, Chen Kun thought that no one knew, and he didn't think that the old cigarette gun of Heizi would understand it as soon as he smoked it.

Chen Changqing thought it was funny when he thought about it, he used fake cigarettes to move the rescuers, but the taste of this cigarette was not bad, and he imagined that Chen Kunyi's students really didn't have any money, so there was no way to make such an estimate, and he thought that after all, he was also a neighbor, so he still felt that he would help him.

The more I thought about it, the more funny I felt, and I couldn't help but laugh.
