Li Zhendong woke up, as if from a deep and distant place, like a fish slowly swimming in the water through a layer separating the two worlds. Yesterday's bizarre encounter, as well as a day's fatigue and boredom, are gone. I felt the physical strength of the whole body that was vividly recovered.

The footsteps of the mother closing the door at work and leaving went away. Li Zhendong knew that it was about a little past five o'clock. After decades of exercising, his body's biological clock has been accurate at this time. The younger brother was still asleep, Li Zhendong didn't turn on the light, quietly put on his clothes and pants, found a pair of rubber shoes, and opened the door to go out.

It was not yet dawn, and it was dark everywhere. You can see the outlines of the houses in the distance by the starlight in the sky, and you can barely see the white road when you run on the road. The air at this time is really good, and the refreshing breeze outside is blowing in your face, so take a deep breath. Li Zhendong ran unhurriedly along the road. The leaves on the side of the road rustle in the wind, the streetlights dim and dim at dawn, and occasionally one or two passers-by who also got up early and went for a morning run.

There are no street lights outside the factory, and there is already a road leading to the town in front of you. If it was a starless and moonless morning, it would be almost impossible to see here, only the heavy wheezing sound of the darkness, the sound of empty footsteps. When someone gets here, they don't run forward. Li Zhendong didn't care and continued to move forward.

Even in the later generations, there are very few people who come out to rob and exercise in the morning. Exercising in the morning, wearing workout clothes, and having very little money. Who would work out in a suit and leather shoes in the morning? First, you may not be able to grab a lot of money, and second, what if you meet a master? And can a robber be so dedicated? Early in the morning? If so, do you still need to do it?

Running to the town, the swarthy figure of the big tree in the darkness looked particularly huge in the night sky. There is already a glimmer of light and shadow in the eastern sky. The town is beginning to show its old, dilapidated appearance. As we passed through the house, all sorts of sounds began to come from the house, the sound of a hoarse shouting, the sound of a woman shaking a rope by the well, a clang, a clattering sound from somewhere, a subsequent scolding, a startled child's cry······

When Li Zhendong returned to the factory, it was already dawn. The morning glow has already appeared in the eastern sky. I still practice in the same place last night, and I continue to familiarize myself with various movements. And after the broadcast in the factory started for a while, Li Zhendong, who was sweating profusely, went home.

Wang Lianxiang had already taken the time to come back from the factory canteen again, make breakfast for her two sons, and then rush to the canteen to work. When Li Zhendong finished washing and sat on the small square stool. Mother brought noodles for the night.

That's just noodles, and most importantly, it's somen noodles. There is only a little saltiness, a few green onions, and a few oil stars floating on top of the noodles. Not even the portion is sufficient. There are also eggs hidden under the noodles. Li Zhendong thought of the Lingnan morning tea in later generations, and the saliva in his mouth suddenly increased. Thinking about it for a moment, I exhaled. Happiness is so simple! At this time, give me some shredded meat, some eggs, is there anything happier than this? That's more shredded meat and eggs.

Mother went to work again. Li Zhendong, who finished picking noodles in two bites, stared at his younger brother's bowl. After making sure that the little brother couldn't finish eating, he picked it up and took a sip. Touching the belly, it is still not full. I can only come back at noon and eat more.

Put down the bowl, call the little brother, and go downstairs with the military schoolbag on his shoulder. This is the kind of canvas schoolbag in the army, thick and wear-resistant, and it will not break if you are careful for decades.

Not far downhill, a shout came from a bungalow, "Adong, wait for me"

A teenage boy walked over. The small face is square, and the body is stout and sturdy, slightly shorter than Li Zhendong. is Li Zhendong's little friend who has played well since he started studying. In the first year of junior high school, my grades were not very good, and I was divided into three classes. But still playing together. Because my fathers were all soldiers. There are several others as well. Children actually split into small groups when they play. It's probably because of my parents. Whether it is in study or force, Li Zhendong is a well-deserved first, and in his group of partners, everyone also follows to the end. Later, their fathers' jobs were transferred and they slowly lost contact.

Seeing Wang Bo walking with a limp, Li Zhendong frowned and "was beaten again"

Wang Bo smiled shyly, "I came back early yesterday, played marbles, and beat people, and then his family sued my father, who called that kid to cheat." ”

Li Zhendong gasped. Wang Bo's father was particularly short-tempered and believed that children would not succeed if they did not fight. A feather duster used to wipe dust, and a stick the thickness of a little finger can be interrupted by hitting someone. After Wang Bo was beaten, he preferred to stand. Because it hurts so much, I can't sit down.

Wang Bo himself didn't feel so uncomfortable. I asked what was going on yesterday. Li Zhendong is hesitant, it's hard to say that he was squeezed into the water, and then he came back from the afterlife, if he said so, would he scare a bunch of people to death? Or are you being seen as abnormal by others? It is estimated that the latter is more likely.

Pulled a few words. Wang Bo changed direction: "Adong, let's go to the mountains to pick chestnuts on Sunday." Now Li Zhendong is interested: "Is it familiar?" When the younger brother heard this, he looked at Wang Bo with big eyes.

"I saw someone eat," Wang Bo swallowed. Li Zhendong thought about it, the chestnuts were almost ripe at this time. I guess there are some early ones on the tree that can be picked up.

The machine factory is a place with many chestnut trees in the surrounding mountains. I don't know if it was planted by the people of the commune in the past. Anyway, many mountain people have fruit trees in their homes. There should be more wild chestnuts on the mountain. Because chestnut trees grow among all kinds of trees. If it is planted, it will not be so sparse and scattered. At this time of year, the surrounding mountains seem to boil. Piles of children search the mountains for chestnut trees hidden in the middle of nowhere. From time to time, there was laughter, and the sound of shouting to each other came and went in the forest. On Sundays, there are many parents who take them with them to search for them in the mountains and forests. Chestnut picking is also dangerous. Li Zhendong knew that there was such a thing. A group of children went to the mountains to pick chestnuts at noon, and the chestnut shells hanging from the branches were sharp burrs. If the tree is too high, either climb to the top of the tree and knock it down with a branch, or you can knock it down with a long penny or a long branch under the tree. The problem is that when playing, they can't control the direction of the falling hairballs, and the children are looking up at them at that time. As a result, a child was pierced in the eye, and later, one eye was broken.

This wild chestnut is powdery and sweet, and it is very popular with children as well as the awl, another wild fruit in the mountains.

"Then call two more people to go together at noon on Sunday," Li Zhendong and Wang Bo said casually. Watching the younger brother walk towards the bungalow in the primary school, the two of them quickened their pace and walked to the other side.
