05 Practice courage
When I went to bed at night, I could see that my parents were very happy, and the two chatted for half the night. My house was very simple at the time, and my bed was separated by a curtain from my parents' house, so I could hear what they were saying. Later, I fell asleep in a groggy state, and slept very soundly.
I didn't go out for days, I was afraid of getting into trouble again. There was still more than a month to go to school, and my plan was not to go out.
The provincial elder told the family to worry, and it is estimated that my parents also knew what I meant, and they didn't say anything. I slept until three o'clock every day.
After another two days, I finally couldn't hold it anymore, so I ran to my neighbor's house, a child named Li Dong, who was 5 or 6 years older than me.
Li Dong also studied in a middle school before, but he didn't study well, he didn't get admitted to university, he came back to sit at home, he also stole chickens and dogs, and was locked up for a few days a few days for stealing iron from the construction site. I went to his house to pick up a few books from my first year of high school and preview them in advance.
It was noon, and I got up late enough, so I went to Li Dong's house, but he hadn't gotten up yet.
I went into his little house and said, "Brother, I'll get some high school books." Li Dong pointed to the bookcase and told me to get it myself.
I walked over and looked, good guys, it's messy, there's everything, it's hard to find a few books for the first year of high school.
After a long time, I finally found it, and I took a few novels by the way, including Wang Xiaobo's and Su Tong's. I wanted to get some youth books, but it didn't turn out yet. I took the book and shook it at Li Dong: "Brother, I'll also take a look at these books, and I'll return them to you in a few days." ”
Li Dong had already gotten up and said, "Okay, look at it." It's all my dad's books. ”
I saw a book with a yellow cover, called The Road to X County. This X county is the name of our place. I asked, "What kind of book is this?" ”
Li Dong looked at it and said, "It's an old book, it's been many years." It's my dad's, it's about the celebrities in our county, it's just technicians, model workers, good leaders, etc., anyway, it's all about singing praises. ”
I slipped into the pile of books I was holding.
I picked out the book and felt a little embarrassed to go, so I sat down and talked to Li Dong for a while.
Li Dong said: "Obviously, I heard that you were admitted to the No. 1 Middle School?" ”
I nodded and said, "What about the school?" ”
Li Dong said: "No, there are quite a lot of gangsters." ”
I was surprised and said, "Isn't that a good student to get in, but a good student, right......?"
Li Dong laughed: "I used to be a good student." It's just being played with by ordinary bad boys, and now it's like this. Let me tell you, just because you're good at studying doesn't mean you're good at being human. Playing well and learning well is called real ability. ”
I nodded, acknowledging it.
Li Dong said: "Also, it's not just about studying well to get into the first middle school. It's okay to have money at home, and you have to earn extra money to study. These students are also the main force of the bad boys, but the forces are relatively scattered, and there are 2 or 3 in a class, not too many. ”
Li Dong said again: "But you don't have to be afraid, if something happens, go to Liu Jie from the Security Department, just say that it is Li Dong's younger brother, and he will help you." ”
I wrote down the name and said, "Brother, I'm going home for dinner, and I'll come back to you later." ”
Li Dong seemed to be unsatisfied, but he had no choice but to say, "Okay, you can go back." ”
I came home with a stack of books, and while my dad was cooking, I started reading.
The road to X county was opened in the first book. It's really boring, it's all sycophants and praise virtues. But there was one of them that attracted me, and the title was: Single-handedly King Prodigal Son Turns Back and Doesn't Change His Money.
I watched it again, and the content is probably about the 70s, there was an old bastard named Chen Yunchao, who was especially capable of fighting. Ask each other before playing: heads-up, or together? At that time, the folk customs were relatively simple, and Chen Yunchao was thin and small, so most people chose to go it alone. As a result, they were all knocked down by Chen Yunchao. After a long time, he has a nickname called the heads-up king. Later, he was imprisoned for seriously injuring the son of a leader. The second half of this article is to talk about how he changed his mind and repented under the leadership of the party and the government after he came out, how he did his work well, and how he was praised by the leaders......
Because the second half is so boring, I didn't finish it, and I watched the first half again, I really admired the demeanor of Chen Yunchao, the king of heads-up, and fantasized about Chen Yunchao's various behaviors in my mind.
After thinking about it for a while, I remembered something and asked my dad, "What is Uncle Chao's full name?" ”
My dad said, "Chen Yunchao, what's wrong." ”
I jumped up at once.
I excitedly pointed to the contents of the book and asked my dad, "Isn't this super uncle?" ”
My dad looked at it and said, "Hey, it's him!" ”
I asked, "Uncle Chao is so famous, and you are also a native of this country, why don't you know him?" ”
My dad thought for a while and said, "When I was a child, just like you, I knew how to study, and I didn't hear anything outside the window. After joining the work, I started to deal with everyone, otherwise I wouldn't even know who Xiaohai was. ”
My dad read the first half of the book again and said, "Well, he's a decade older than me, and I'm still in school at the time." "He went to jail after he joined the work, so I haven't heard of him.
I threw the book on the bed and said, "I'm going out!" ”
I didn't listen to what my dad said, so I rushed out.
When he arrived at Uncle Chao's house, he was lying on the sofa watching TV, with dishes and wine on the coffee table, and it seemed that he had drunk a lot.
I put on a pose of Huang Feihong: heads-up, or together!
Uncle Chao's body trembled obviously, and then he regained his composure and didn't speak for a long time.
I thought to myself, Uncle Chao probably pretended to be drunk again, so I said, "Uncle Chao, I want to learn to fight with you!" ”
Uncle Chao still ignored me and closed his eyes.
I smiled and said, "Uncle Chao, there is a limit to pretending to be mysterious, I know everything about you before." ”
Uncle Chao sat up and asked me, "What do you know?" ”
I laughed again: "I read the road of X County, and the article about you was written in it, and you used to be the heads-up king!" ”
Uncle Chao seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and said, "That, it's a matter of my youth, playing around!" ”
I said, "Then you teach me to fight, they always bully me." ”
Uncle Chao also smiled: "You little arm and leg, who can you beat." ”
I was not convinced: "Uncle Chao, you are also quite thin, don't you beat them all over the ground!" ”
Uncle Chao was also happy: "You fight just to not be bullied by them, right?" ”
I said, "yes, they always bully me and ask me for money." ”
Uncle Chao nodded and said, "Okay, just don't learn badly." ”
After speaking, Uncle Chao took out a machete from under the sofa and said, "Follow me." ”
The first time I saw that kind of machete in my life, I was so frightened that I didn't dare to take a step.
Uncle Chao smiled and said, "You're afraid." ”
I said, "That's weird, let's go!" ”
I followed Uncle Chao downstairs, he hid the machete behind his clothes, and led me all the way to a remote place.
I asked, "Where are we going?" ”
Uncle Chao said: "Zhou Wangshan." "It's getting faster and faster.
I chased a few steps and asked, "What are you doing in the mountains?" ”
Uncle Chao said: "Practice courage." ”
I didn't ask again, I guessed that I was going to the mountain and asked me to chop some scarecrows or something, and practice my hands.
When we got to the mountain, we followed the path and came to a fork in the road. Uncle Chao said, "It's right here." ”
I looked left and right, but I didn't see the scarecrow.
Uncle Chao took off the pitch-black scabbard, tossed it aside, and handed the knife to me.
I went with the knife, and for the first time I weighed something that really had weight, and I was a little inexplicably excited.
Uncle Chao said: "After a while, someone will come down, so you will take this knife and go over and ask him for money." ”
When I heard this, I was anxious, took two steps back, and said, "I won't do that!" ”
Uncle Chao said again: "If you don't do it, you have to do it, otherwise how can you practice your courage." If that man dares not to give money, you will slash him twice in the back with a knife. ”
I threw the knife on the ground and stared at Uncle Chao angrily: "Uncle, how can you teach me this." ”
Uncle Chao was a little stunned: "Aren't you going to learn to fight?" ”
I said, "I'm learning to fight, not to cut people!" It's not about learning to grab money! I'm going to learn the art of fighting! ”
Uncle Chao smiled again: "There is a hairy skill in fighting, no matter how high the kung fu is, a brick will be knocked down." Look at my arms and legs, do you really think I rely on skill to be the king of heads-up? I'm sneak attacking! ”
I was surprised and said, "Sneak attack? ”
