At that time, Laobeiping was full of refugees fleeing famine, some refugees died of illness and starvation on the way, or were buried in a pit dug by well-wishers, or gnawed beyond recognition by wild dogs and wild civets, and some people couldn't help but be hungry, robbed on the road, or went into the farmers' homes at night to steal food.

Many people in the tunzi said that there was a famine in some places, and there were even rumors of adults cooking children.

Beiping was relatively peaceful at that time, although there were constant turmoil in the city, after all, there were still Japanese troops stationed in Beiping. Sanlitun is a small place, and each family is next to each other, so nothing usually happens, but other villages around it occasionally spread the news that someone's child is missing.

The adults in Sanlitun have repeatedly taught their children to stay away from these outsiders, so the children in Sanlitun have never had a good impression of outsiders.

The crazy woman didn't say a word for so many days when she came to Sanlitun, everyone thought she was a madman or a mute, and when Jiang Sheng gave her food, she didn't act excessively, and let Jiang Sheng approach.

During lunch, Xiao Wu suddenly ran into the courtyard of my house in a hurry, and shouted: "Jiang Sheng, Jiang Sheng, Zhao Dahai dared to come out, and now he is turning under the big stone bridge." ”

Jiang Sheng was eating steamed buns, and hurriedly drank a mouthful of soup and went out with Xiao Wu.

"Mom, you eat slowly, I'm going out to play."

"Why is this kid in a hurry?" Mother said.

I also swallowed the steamed bun in a hurry, burped, and said, "Mom, I'm going out to play too." ”

Zhao Dahai has not dared to show up since he found Zhao Zhuang two days ago and beat Xiao Wu and Jiang Sheng, Xiao Wu and Jiang Sheng did not mention it in front of me, but the two have been waiting for the opportunity, and now that they heard that Zhao Dahai came out, it is better to pounce on them like wolves.

When I arrived at the big stone bridge, I saw Xiao Wu put one arm against Zhao Dahai's neck and beat him fatly.

"I thought you would be able to shrink into the house for the rest of your life, you fucking dare to find Zhao Zhuang to beat the master, you can't hide from the first fifteen, right?" Xiao Wu snorted.

Zhao Dahai struggled to no avail, screaming and scolding in his mouth, Xiao Wu pinched Zhao Dahai's neck, and shouted while lifting up: "I'll let you scold again, let you scold!" ”

Xiao Wu's strength was already great, and at this time, Zhao Dahai's whole person was lifted up in anger, Zhao Dahai's face was full of blood, and he was about to roll his eyes, Jiang Sheng hurriedly asked Xiao Wu to stop, and said, "Xiao Wu, you are going to strangle him to death." ”

Xiao Wu snorted and threw Zhao Dahai to the ground, and after Zhao Dahai landed, he covered his throat and coughed, crying with tears.

Jiang Sheng looked at the embarrassed Zhao Dahai and asked, "The Zhao Zhuang you are looking for is not related to you, and said, why would he help you bully us?" ”

Zhao Dahai glanced up at Jiang Sheng and said, "I don't know!" ”

"You're still hard-mouthed!"

Xiao Wuyi kicked Zhao Dahai's leg, and the pain made him cry.

Jiang Sheng helped Zhao Dahai up, patted the soil on his body, and said, "This Zhao Zhuang will not be your eldest brother, you must have given him some benefits by letting him bully us, right?" ”

Zhao Dahai choked, panting and glaring at Xiao Wu with a disbelievable face, Xiao Wuyi's fist smashed on Zhao Dahai's left eye, Zhao Dahai immediately cried again, fell to the ground and cried dad and mother, and kept scolding in his mouth.

Xiao Wu said: "I said I was going to give you a blue-eyed hammer, fuck your mother's glaring at me, you will stare at me again?" ”

"Little Fifth Brother, you, don't fight." A skinny kid with a runny nose said timidly.

Xiao Wu raised his eyebrows and said: "No one is allowed to play with Zhao Dahai in the future, for the rich and unkind little landlord, relying on the family's stinky money to show off everywhere, Lao Tzu has long been unhappy, who dares to play with him again, I will see it once and fight once!" ”

Zhao Dahai whined and cried, and when he got up from the ground, his eyes were already swollen, and his eye sockets were bruised, becoming real big blue eyes.

Xiao Wu raised his slap, Zhao Dahai immediately covered his head in fright, and then Xiao Wu scratched the back of his head and said: "Look at your cowardly bag, if you are not convinced, go and call your father to beat me, don't let me see you in the tunzi in the future, get out!" ”

Zhao Dahai didn't dare to be arrogant in front of Xiao Wu, so he had to leave with hatred, a group of children were silent in front of Xiao Wu, Xiao Wu said: "What are you doing in a daze, come on, divide into two groups, let's continue to play backwards." ”

Backward crutches are also called crutches, that is, they cross one leg and walk on only one foot, and whoever is knocked down loses.

Although Xiao Wu has a lot of strength, but he is too fat to be good at this game, but it is the first time to play the crutch Jiang Sheng has a lot of fun, I was also very good at that time, the average child can't hit me, but Jiang Sheng doesn't play for me, he said that girls shouldn't play such a wild game, let me watch from the side and cheer him on.

After everyone was tired of playing and dispersed, Jiang Sheng went to the haystack in the wheat field, and he lifted the straw mat of the haystack only to find that the madwoman was no longer in the hole.

The three of us looked around Sanlitun for a long time and didn't see the crazy woman, Jiang Sheng was a little worried, after all, the woman's clothes were thin, and she was sick, and she didn't know if she would take the medicine she gave her.

But in the evening, the madwoman appeared again in the wheat field of Sanlitun, leaning against the haystack, her hair scattered, a group of children barking like dogs, and anyone who came close to the woman would scream.

After Jiang Sheng and Xiao Wu arrived at the wheat field, Jiang Sheng approached the woman with the tea jar, this time the woman did not scream, she took the tea jar from Jiang Sheng's hand and poured the tea into her stomach, Jiang Sheng handed a pancake with vegetables to the woman, and the woman took the pancake and chewed it with gusto.

Jiang Sheng got up and said, "Don't bully her in the future, whoever bullies her again, don't blame me for being rude." ”

Everyone looked at each other, not understanding why Jiang Sheng was protecting a madman, Xiao Wu stared at him and shouted: "Are they all deaf, you are not allowed to bully this woman in the future, do you hear?" ”

"I hear you." A group of children agreed.

That is, from that day on, this crazy woman sometimes disappeared, sometimes appeared in the wheat field of Sanlitun, every time she came to Sanlitun, Jiang Sheng would always bring some food to her, this matter was later known by her mother, but her mother did not stop her.

And Zhao Dahai has never been arrogant since he was beaten by Xiao Wu, and he didn't dare to come out to play with other children, he often wandered at the door of his house, and hid far away when he saw Xiao Wu.

Once Niu Aihua asked Xiao Wu to go to the landlord Zhao Fugui's store to make soy sauce, at that time there was only Zhao Dahai alone in the store, Zhao Dahai saw Xiao Wu coming with a soy sauce bottle from a distance, and ran to his own courtyard, Xiao Wu shouted: "What the hell are you running, come back and give me soy sauce!" ”

Zhao Dahai ignored Xiao Wu, ran home and called Liu Lanying, asking Liu Lanying not to sell things to Xiao Wu, who knew that when Liu Lanying arrived at the store, he found that Xiao Wu was no longer there, the soy sauce tank was opened, and there were two cents on the stool next to him, and he filled a bottle of soy sauce and left.

That night, Zhao Dahai was called out by a child, the child said that Xiao Wu went back to his mother's house with his mother, and let Zhao Dahai go out to play, Zhao Dahai believed it, and before he reached the big stone bridge, he was smashed in the other eye by Xiao Wuyi's punch that came out of the alley.

Zhao Dahai's voice of crying father and shouting mother spread all over Sanlitun, and was chased and beaten by Xiao Wu all the way to his door.

Later, Zhao Fugui and his father Zhao Fuxi took Zhao Dahai to Xiaowu's house to find an account for his grandson, and was scolded by Niu Aihua to the point of blood, and then there was no movement in Zhao Dahai's family.

Xiao Wu often looked for Jiang Sheng to go to the door of Zhao Dahai's house in those days, and once happened to see Zhao Dahai enter the toilet at the door, the toilets in the countryside are covered around his house, and there is a manure tank behind the toilet.

At that time, in Jiang Sheng's words, the scene was a monstrous wave, a ghost crying wolf.

Zhao Dahai's hoarse ghost shout alarmed many people, and a group of people gathered around when they heard the movement, watching Zhao Dahai come out of the toilet covered in, without mentioning his pants, and a fishy wind could blow everywhere he passed.

Zhao Dahai didn't see who threw the stone, but he insisted that it was the three of us, and he said that it must be me who was the leader.

The reason why Zhao Dahai is so sure is because I have done this kind of thing before, but I didn't hit his manure tank with a stone, I smashed Xiao Wu. It was summer at that time, and Xiao Wu went directly into the toilet with his bare butt during the day, and he saw me before entering the toilet, and played hooligan with a little finch at me, and was smashed by me with a stone and drenched all over his body, and was splashed by Niu Aihua with well water for half an hour.
