Jiang Sheng had to endure the shame and stripped naked in front of everyone, and when he returned to the disciple's room after taking a cold shower, a group of children also made a commotion like watching the excitement.

The kerosene lamp was lit in the disciple's room, and Jiang Sheng stood by the bed and waited for the water on his body to dry before putting on his dirty pants and lying on the bed.

The leather monkey jumped up and down on the kang and was mischievous, and beat the young child to cry, Jiang Sheng looked at the light of the kerosene lamp in the noise, and did not know whether he was right or wrong to come to the pear orchard.

"Senior brother is here!" I don't know who shouted, and the monkey immediately jumped back to his kang and lay on the bed honestly like everyone else.

Hu Xiaomeng opened the door of the disciple's room, saw that all the junior disciples were lying on the bed honestly, and said: "In the past few days, because of the Nine Emperor Society, the training has also been lax, and when we eat this line of food, we must practice the kung fu of singing and chanting to the extreme, otherwise if you don't stand on the stage, you will have to show your ugly, this person, ten years of scenery, once you make a fool, there is nothing, in the end, the basic skills are not solid, have you heard it?" ”

"I hear you." All the children said in unison, but there was a "Grandpa knows~" in many voices.

Hu Xiaomeng stepped forward and picked him up by twisting the ears of the leather monkey, and the leather monkey immediately screamed in pain, begging for mercy in his mouth: "Senior brother, be merciful, I am going to wring out the for you." ”

Hu Xiaomeng snorted and said: "You have a hippie smile all day long, you are not afraid of being beaten to death by the master, others say that you have to say that you know, when I am behind my ears?" ”

The leather monkey smiled and said, "Senior brother raised his noble hand, I won't dare next time, who knows that you can hear this clearly." ”

"Put your pants on and lie down, a stick the size of a match, let it out for mosquitoes to bite?" After Hu Xiaomeng finished speaking, he walked to Jiang Sheng's bedside and asked, "Jiang Sheng, are you used to living here?" ”

Jiang Sheng snorted and said, "Get used to it." ”

"Well, if the leather monkey or someone bullies you and tells me, I will definitely clean him up and obey him, you don't have to be afraid of anyone." Hu Xiaomeng said.

"Thank you, brother." Jiang Sheng said.

Hu Xiaomeng looked at a child huddled in the corner and sobbed, and asked, "Little shovel, why are you crying?" ”

The child called the little shovel said aggrievedly: "I didn't cry, I hit the wall." ”

"You're amazing, hit your head on the wall twice in three days, then you change it with Jiang Sheng, he's new here, and it's just quiet to sleep with you." Hu Xiaomeng said.

"I don't change it." The little shovel said, his voice crying.

"Don't change and pull down, let's all sleep, don't make trouble at night, if anyone wets the bed, don't blame me for hitting the next day!" After Hu Xiaomeng finished speaking, he blew out the kerosene lamp in the farewell of all the disciples and returned to the wooden building above the disciple's room.

The room soon fell silent, and the moonlight shone through the bamboo window for half a day, and the leather monkey asked, "Jiang Sheng, why is Senior Brother so protective of you?" ”

Jiang Sheng didn't answer, pretending to be asleep, the other children were talking nonsense, and they all fell asleep after a while, Jiang Sheng listened to the snoring of several children, tossing and turning, and always felt that something was missing.

In Sanlitun, in the dimly lit hall, I asked, "Mom, when will my brother come back?" ”

Mother did not answer, only the sound of father's snoring in the house, these days after the father came back to sleep, the family's money was first lent to Zhao Shugen, and then lent to Ma Aiguo, the only remaining dozens of yuan was given to my uncle by my mother, and our family did not weigh some meat to eat home for half a month.

At that time, it was good to be able to eat fat meat once or twice a year in the countryside, but my father was working for the Japanese with his head, and Lao Jiang left a large amount of money at home for emergencies before leaving, which was enough for our family to live a good life.

Father is a man with a brain and a tendon, he admits death in everything, he remembers who is good to him in his relatives and neighbors, as long as people open his mouth he can help, and he can't even lie.

The relationship between her mother and Niu Aihua has never been good, but she never dared to say it in front of her father, as long as she mentioned it, her father would think that she was the mother-in-law who talked about other people's gossip in the family, so her mother had to endure it when she was angry. Father didn't think that Ma Aiguo himself was not short of money, and their family could live a happy and peaceful life after the textile factory started, he lent the money to Ma Aiguo, which broke the peace of their family, if there was no 1,000 yuan, Niu Aihua would not take Xiao Wu back to his parents' house.

In Sanlitun, in addition to Zhao Fugui, the only person who can take out so much money at once is my father Jiang Zhengyang.

But Zhao Fugui is a smart person, he has always been cautious about borrowing money, and he writes IOUs to collect interest when he borrows money from others, and his father has never thought of this.

In those days, I felt a lot less fun every day, and I would look at Jiang Sheng's location from time to time during class, and I didn't want to play with the girls after class.

In the past, the four of us jumped along the way after school, but now Jiang Sheng is in the pear orchard, and Xiao Wu lives in the town and is different from us, only Zhao Dahai and I often pick wild flowers, and occasionally chase and play.

Wang Wei also came to ask me twice why Jiang Sheng didn't come to class, and I said the same thing both times: "I stinked for you, I can't stand the smell of you." ”

This is very effective, Wang Wei will wash his hair neatly the next day.

Although there were still fights in the class from time to time, Qin Fei still kept his teachings repeatedly, fighting with others all day long, but when he saw Xiao Wu, he honestly hid aside, including Li Tiedan, who once thought that someone was covering him.

Li Tiedan was completely scared of Xiao Wu, and even if he and his fourth-grade brother Li Tieniu walked together, their legs trembled when they saw Xiao Wu coming towards him. There are all kinds of small gangs fighting all day long in the school, but no one dares to mess with Xiao Wu, and some senior students sometimes see Xiao Wu smoking a cigarette for him.

As for Xiao Wu's tablemate Wang Hu, many people know that the reason why Xiao Wu beat Li Tieniu and Li Tiedan brothers is for Wang Hu.

Although Wang Hu is cowardly and does not dare to take responsibility, fortunately, he has changed his love of crying, he used to cry when he was robbed of the eraser, and he was beaten by Mr. with a ring ruler on the back of his hand, and he was so red and ashamed that he lay on the seat and cried, and now he was beaten by Mr. again, in addition to being beaten to the back of his hand, he sat down and had a hippie smile, and he shamelessly called Xiao Wu his brother.

At present, Wang Hu saw Xiao Wu depressed for a few days, so he asked him what was wrong, Xiao Wu said: "Jiang Sheng went to the opera garden to learn opera, I want to go to him to play, but it is too far, I ran to the pear garden and then went home at night, and my mother blocked me at home all day to write." ”

Wang Hu pinched his chin and said: "I have a rickshaw ticket at home, my dad bought it at the rickshaw rental company last time, I will go home for dinner at noon and give it to you, you can just take the bus when you get out of school." ”

"Really?" Xiao Wu didn't expect that Wang Hu, who has always been angry with others, would take the initiative to take out the rickshaw ticket, at that time, there were some rich families in Beiping City who lived far away from the place where they worked, and they couldn't ride the girder car, so they spent money on a rickshaw, and it was not easy to get change every day, so they only got the rickshaw rental company to handle the package.

"Then you take a few more, I'll take Jiang Rong and Zhao Dahai with you, just so you can go too, the two of them will take a car, anyway, the same money."

"My mom will scold me when I'm late." Wang Hu hesitated for a moment, seeing that Xiao Wu's face was slightly disappointed, and then said, "Okay, then let's hurry up after school." ”

Wang Hu returned to school at noon and really stuffed a dozen yellow bag tickets in Xiao Wu's hand, and he said mysteriously: "Don't let people see it." ”

Xiao Wu counted the tickets in his hand, each one was stamped with the seal of the rickshaw rental company on yellow straw paper, no one had ever sat in a rickshaw at that time, let alone a child, Xiao Wu didn't ask how much the ticket was, patted Wang Hu on the shoulder and said: "It's really a good brother, I can save myself from running anywhere in the future." ”

Wang Hu was a little proud and asked, "Wang Wei and Jiang Sheng have a good relationship, do you want to bring him to see Jiang Sheng too?" ”

"Don't bring it!" Xiao Wu said categorically. "He stinks so much, no one wants to sit with him, and Jiang Rong hates him too."

"Oh." Wang Hu responded.

After class, Xiao Wu called Zhao Dahai and me aside, saying that Wang Hu gave him a ticket, and he would go to Liyuan Town together after school, and then go home after watching Jiang Sheng.

Zhao Dahai and I are naturally happy, I want a ticket in my hand, and I am not in the mood to go to class excitedly, I just look forward to getting out of school soon.

After school, the four of us immediately rushed out of the school and rushed to the Hutong Street leading to Dongzhimen, where many shirtless men were sitting or lying on both sides of the street, and a young man looked at the front and back of the ticket with a little confusion when he saw me handing him the ticket in his hand, and asked, "Is this ticket yours?" ”

Xiao Wu raised his eyebrows and said, "If you don't pull it, pull it down, don't you see so many people waiting?" ”

The young man blushed at Xiao Wu's words, and hurriedly wiped his sweat, hung the sweat towel around his neck, put down the carport and mat of the rickshaw, and made a gesture of please: "A few masters get in the car, and the car can only seat two people." ”

Xiao Wu asked Zhao Dahai and me to get on the bus first, took out a ticket from his pocket, handed it to another driver and said, "When I go to the opera garden in Liyuan Town, my legs and feet are numb." ”
