Chapter 21: The Struggle with the King of Zagged Skins 1
At that time, we would often go to a section of the river with a groove and build a big and deep pond there, play together, bathe and catch fish. At that time, the river water was still very clear, and there were a lot of fish, unlike now, where there are coal yards everywhere, and the Qingshui River has become a black sand river, and there is nothing in the river except sludge.
When we bathe in the river, we all hit the bottom, that is, we sink ourselves to the bottom of the water and swim close to the bottom of the river. Once I was about to hit the bottom of the water, and as soon as I jumped down, I stepped on a guy who was under the water, that guy was from the village across the river, called Zhou Xiaohou, who was in the same class as me at school, he was the oldest boy in our class, and he usually liked to bully me.
I didn't know he was underwater at the time, and I knew it wouldn't be good to step on him, so I quickly apologized to him and said "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to".
But there was such a good reason why he could have let go of the opportunity to teach me a lesson, but the guy said nothing with a look of anger on his face, and jumped up the river bank and jumped at me, stomping my thigh.
There was a sharp pain in my leg immediately, and at the same time it was sore and numb, and my right thigh suddenly couldn't move, and under the pain, I collapsed directly to the bottom of the water, and choked on several mouthfuls of water.
At this time, a man swam to me and dragged me to the shore, and when I looked up, it was Ma Peng.
I looked at my thigh, and there was a big red footprint. I spit out and swallowed some of the water in my mouth, "wow" and cried, it was so painful, I didn't expect this Zhou Xiaohou to be so ruthless, I couldn't stand steadily, fortunately I was kicked in the water, otherwise I would definitely have a fracture.
Watching me cry, that Zhou Xiaohou looked proud, and the children in their village were all looking at me and laughing. It's just that the next scene made me regard Ma Peng as my big brother for life.
He didn't say a word, he rushed up to face Zhou Xiaohou's front door and carried a big bun, Ma Peng did it, and then all the babies in our village joined the battle, and actually fought in the river.
Crackling, I just watched from the sidelines, the scene was so enjoyable and relieved, I almost forgot about the pain in my leg. After a chaotic battle, the result was a victory for our village, Zhou Xiaohou was knocked out of one of his front teeth by Ma Peng, his nose was swollen and bleeding, and the children in their village were driven away by us.
After that, I haven't seen them come to this pond where we fought in groups.
At that time, I was injured in my thigh and I couldn't walk, so Ma Peng carried me home. But not long after arriving at home, the parents of the children who were injured in the group fight found Ma Peng's house.
When my father saw me, he also knew the situation and took me to Ma Peng's house. After being harshly interrogated by my father, I told me all about what happened.
After listening to my statement, I didn't expect my father to take care of everything, apologize from door to door, and pay all the medical bills.
At that time, my father was still the vice principal of our local junior high school, and the people around him were still quite face-saving, and this was the end of the matter.
Although I got into trouble and caused so many children to fight and get injured, I am really grateful to Ma Peng, when I felt the most helpless, he stood up for me and supported me, and helped me get angry, although I was scolded by my father, but since then I have one more big brother.
Whenever I have free time, I will go to him, be with him, and no matter what I do, I always feel that I will be very confident. Maybe it's a habit! This time I came back, I still came to his house habitually.
No matter what Ma Peng has become now, I think he is still the same person he used to be, and he is still the same big brother in my heart.
But that's just my opinion, as people grow up, no matter who they are, there will be some changes, maybe they will think the same way after they see me.
After chatting with Ma Peng, I learned a little about him, it turned out that he was no longer studying, and I didn't see him when I was at home from school in my first year of high school, and he went out to work at that time.
However, in recent years, the coal mining industry has been developed in his hometown, and the economy has developed rapidly, and the local people can find a lot of things to do at home, and they are reluctant to go outside to work.
Ma Pengshun immediately returned home, got a job in a coal washing plant near our village, and rode his motorcycle to and from work every day, and he happened to be on vacation on the day I went to look for him, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to touch him.
There seemed to be something wrong with the chain of his motorcycle, and the person who helped him fix it was a mechanic he had brought to his home from a motorcycle repair shop.
Maybe it's because it's been a long time, I have had different experiences with him, it seems that I don't have the tacit understanding I had as a child, I am a little rusty to communicate with him, I can't find a topic, and it doesn't seem to be too meaningful to talk to him about things when I was a child.
After a while, the car was repaired, and after paying the mechanic for the repairs, he turned back to me and said, "It's been a long time, you're a high school student now, right?"
I'm going to a place right now, do you want to go with me? ”。 I was going to play with him, and he said to take me to play, it should be something that would not be bad, and I must be happy, because when we were children, we always shared blessings and difficulties, and I really wanted to experience the feeling of racing with him on a motorcycle!
Then Ma Peng took me and rode out of the house on a motorcycle, which felt really cool and exciting. Just as we had gotten on our motorbikes and sped for a while, he suddenly braked and stopped.
"Did you bring any money?" He turned back to me and asked me.
"Nope! What's wrong? I came out secretly, and I just went to play with him, so I didn't think about bringing money or anything at all, but when he asked, I could only say that.
"Oh, we need money to play anywhere, and I was in a hurry to take you out, I forgot to bring money", he said lightly.
I thought it was something special, money, I still have some, during the Chinese New Year, my aunts and uncles gave me some of the New Year's money I usually save, and there are also hundreds of yuan.
So he replied cheerfully: "Oh, I see, then I'll go to our door later, I'll go home and get it."
"Okay, let's go to your house!" As soon as Ma Peng finished speaking, he jumped in the direction of the head of the motorcycle, and there was another cloud of smoke flying and galloping away in the direction of our home.
After a while I arrived at my door, and I got out of the car in the dust, and I hurried into the house, went to my room, took out all my savings, and ran out of the house. At this time, the old lady stopped me and asked angrily, "Why are you going?" ”。
"I want you to take care of it, get out of the way!" I didn't want to pay attention to my sister and I didn't want to tell her where I was going.
"No, how can you still play with him?" , The old lady glanced at Ma Peng riding on a motorcycle outside the door of her house, suggesting that Ma Peng was a scourge.
"What's wrong with him?" , I'm very unhappy that my sister said Ma Peng's tone, Ma Peng is my eldest brother, and to deny him is to deny me.
"He's not a good thing! Do you know that he will fight and do bad things", the old lady saw that I was not saving water (dialect, I don't understand the meaning), and directly said that Ma Peng was not good.
"Yes! He's even helped me fight before", I think it's, I don't believe it.
"I'm so angry... Wait for my dad to come back and look good with you", the old lady made me helpless and stomped her foot and threatened me.
"Then you go and sue it! I'm not afraid", at this time, the heart is rising, the nine cows can't pull me back, and I responded to the threat of the old lady in an atmosphere
