At 7 a.m. on September 3, 1968, I officially enrolled in Daling Primary School.

There were more than 40 classmates in our class, except for Xiaoda and Yanfang, I didn't know the other classmates, because our family was on the edge of the town, and I used to only play at home, with my older siblings and younger siblings, and I never had contact with the children in the town.

Since Xiaoda and I are the tallest among all the boys, Xiaoda and I are in the last row of the classroom, and Xiaoda and I are at the same table, and Yanfang is also tall in the class, sitting in the row in front of us, just in front of me.

Alas, I can see the back of Yanfang's head all day long!

The head teacher of our class is surnamed Ang, his full name is Ang Mang, he is a middle-aged man in his 40s, a native of the local countryside, his name means "strong madman" in Zhuang language, and he is also our Chinese teacher.

The arithmetic and science teachers in our class are Gold Rush, Mr. Tao, and Yanfang's father!

The first class on my first day of school was a Chinese class.

Teacher Ang gave it to us.

Teacher Ang is not very tall, but his eyes are fierce, and his voice is very loud.

He first explained to us the contents of the "Student Rules", telling us what to do, what not to do, etc.

After that, he wrote a few words on the blackboard, and slogans were often seen on the streets and alleys of those days! And tell us to read aloud and memorize!

I think he was very bored, and during this time, I was really tired from participating in military training, hunting, and doing business, etc., and I fell asleep on the table unconsciously when I listened to Mr. Ang's lecture!

......

Suddenly, I was woken up from my dream by Mr. Aang!

When I woke up, my nose was bleeding!

Feel the pain in your face, the heat is coming!

I realized that he slapped me a few times!

I saw that the classmates in the class were all frightened by Mr. Ang's crazy actions, and their faces turned pale!

Yanfang and Xiaoda are helping me stop the bleeding by blocking my nose with a handkerchief, and helping me dry the blood on my face and table!

Teacher Ang sneered angrily at me and said, "Qin Jingcai! You're amazing! Dare to sleep in my class?! Do you want to learn from your father?! ”

I don't know how to answer him, I just stared at him silently!

At that time, he wanted to hit me again, but he was stopped by a male classmate standing next to me!

At this time, the bell rang for the end of class!

Teacher Ang returned to the podium, took his handout folder, and left the classroom in a huff.

Yanfang, Xiaoda and the classmate who helped me took me to the school bathroom and rinsed the blood on my forehead and face with cold water, which finally stopped my nosebleed.

After taking care of things, the four of us sat on the grass next to the school playground to rest and talk.

Xiaoda said: "Ah Cai! You slept too much, and when that mad dog rushed from the podium, no matter how I pulled, you didn't wake up! ”

Yanfang said angrily: "This mad dog used to beat students in school a lot!" He specializes in bullying students who have no family background and bad composition! ”

The classmate said, "Ah Cai! My name is Cai Jinghua! My family background is not good either! This mad dog hit my sister! ”

I said, "Alas! I really shouldn't have to sleep in class! Forget it! Let's go to class! ”

Teacher Tao gave us the next few classes that day, but I didn't have the heart to listen to the class at all, and I kept thinking, should I still study in this shabby elementary school?!

When school ended at noon, Sister Wenjuan knew about my beating, and she helped me take the afternoon off and let me rest at home.

After school, Xiaoda went back to my house with me and Sister Wenjuan, and Xiaoda didn't want to study anymore!

When we arrived at home, our mother, Wei's mother, Jing Di and Lilan were also at home.

After everyone had lunch together, my mother called me, Sister Wenjuan and Xiaoda to a meeting in the living room of the house.

My mother asked us about the beatings I had been given at school. Xiao Da 1510 said.

The mother said, "Alas! Ahh You shouldn't sleep in class! Teacher Ang is famous for spanking students at school! It's a trifle! In the future, pay attention to yourself, and you should go to school! ”

I said, "Mom! I don't want to study anymore, I want to work at home, I have my older brothers and sisters at home to leave textbooks, and I can learn school knowledge on my own! ”

The mother said, "Ah Cai! You're too small now! I don't need you to do this little work at home! Besides, we just paid that much tuition! If you don't go to school, you're wasting that money! You read books that are important to you! Be generous, and be patient in everything! Do you understand?! ”

I said, "Okay! However, in the afternoon, Sister Wenjuan has already helped me ask for leave! Xiaoda and I won't go in the afternoon! ”

The mother smiled and said, "All right! Rest at home! Just go to school tomorrow! ”

After the family meeting, Sister Wenjuan went to school, and her mother went to work.

Wei's mother took Jingdi and Lilan at home.

I played and talked with little Dadu Daling Riverside.

Xiaoda said: "Ah Cai! I know what's going on in your heart! If, we don't fix that mad dog ruthlessly! That bad breath in your heart must be hard to get rid of! In the future, we will not be at ease in school! ”

I smiled and said, "yes! What am I thinking about? We should find a way to fix him! Otherwise, in the future, he will still target us! Xiaoda, what do you think we should do to treat him?! ”

Xiaoda smiled and said, "Alas! We are simple-minded in the mountains, so what's the best way?! We could have fought him in school, right?! ”

All of a sudden, I watched a little snake crawling in the grass!

I said excitedly, "Xiaoda! Do you catch snakes? ”

Xiaoda smiled and said, "Ah Cai! You don't want to eat snakes to replenish blood, do you?! Snake meat doesn't help with blood! I'll catch snakes! But they're useless! ”

I said, "Xiaoda! At noon, Sister Wenjuan and I went to Anggou's office to ask for leave! I saw he had a desk! Desks with drawers! If, we put the snake in that drawer! The snake will be able to fix that dog for us! ”

Xiao Da said in surprise: "Ah Cai! This autumn snake is very venomous! What if you bite someone to death? ”

I said, "I just want to bite him to death and get rid of the harm for the people!" We plan well and act stealthily! It's going to be fine! ”

Xiaoda said, "Okay! If you don't do it, you don't do it! The bad guys kill one less one! Tell me about it! How do we do it? ”

So, after a short period of thinking, I told Xiaoda the whole plan of action.

Xiaoda smiled and said, "What a way!" We're just like that, God doesn't know it, and the ghost him unknowingly! ”

......

In the afternoon after more than ten days of this incident, Xiaoda and I deliberately did not hand in our Chinese homework on time, and Teacher Ang really came to the classroom and urged us to hand in our homework.

Teacher Ang saw that Xiaoda and I were busy doing Chinese homework, and he couldn't help it!

After he scolded us a few times, he told us to finish our homework and take it to his office to give to him.

Soon after he left, Xiaoda and I went to Mr. Ang's office with the Chinese homework book.

We want to see what is going on in his office and see how we can release snakes for him!

Mr. Ang's office is in a department in a bungalow, and there are many teachers' desks in the department.

We need to accurately record the location of Mr. Ang's desk and grasp the situation of his desk!

The two of us respectfully walked to Mr. Ang's desk and handed the homework book to Mr. Ang with both hands!

Teacher Ang smiled and said, "In the future, you two must be as honest as you are today!" Don't let me keep rushing you with your homework! You know? ”

I smiled and said, "Teacher! We got it! In the future, be sure to study hard! Be your good student! ”

Teacher Ang smiled and said, "That's good! Get out of here! ”

When I went out the door, I asked Xiaoda, "Do you remember clearly?" ”

Xiaoda said: "I remember, his desk is in the row to the left of the door, the second. ”

Xiaoda saw me in my hand, holding a cloth bag.

Puzzled, he asked me, "What are you doing with Anggou's sack of rice?" ”

I said, "Snakes!" With our bags, it's easy to find out! ”

Xiaoda smiled and said, "Gao Ming! It's a good bag! ”

I quickly hid the bag in my clothes and went back to the classroom to prepare for my homework.

......

We finally stayed up until the end of school in the afternoon, and Xiaoda and I were waiting for Sister Wenjuan at the school gate.

After seeing Sister Wenjuan, I said, "Sister, tonight, I will study with Xiaoda at Teacher Cen's house!" Don't go back to dinner at night! If it's too late, don't leave the door, I'll stay with Xiaoda! ”

Sister Wen Juan smiled and said, "Learning is a good thing!" Don't study too late, rest early! ”

After we finished talking, Sister Wen Juan went home alone.

Xiao Da and I went to a meadow by the river, and Xiao Da rummaged through the grass with a small twig to find poisonous snakes!

Suddenly, Xiaoda said, "Did you see the snake?" ”

I looked in the direction of the branch in Xiao Da's hand, and a little black snake was sleeping cross-legged in the grass!

Xiao Da strolled away, and suddenly, he pressed the snake's neck with the branch in his hand, grabbed the snake's tail with the other hand, and suddenly, lifted the snake's tail upward, and then shook it down violently!

Suddenly, the snake immediately turned into a vertical and soft rope!

Xiaoda smiled and said, "Ah Cai, open the bag!" Don't look at this snake is small, it's poisonous! ”

Xiaoda quickly put the snake in the bag and tied the mouth of the bag tightly!

And just like that, in less than two hours, we had caught four or five venomous snakes of various sizes, which were already in small half bags!

I smiled and said, "Xiaoda, it's okay, grab more, I'm worried that the beast's drawer won't fit." ”

So, the two of us called it a day and went home!

When we returned to Mr. Cen's house, it was time for dinner.

went out to do things, and Mr. Cen was no longer at home.

Mrs. Mao beckoned us to dinner, and she complained: "Ah Cai, in the future, you can't learn from Teacher Cen to do things!" Learn some serious skills and don't deal with dead people all day! Alas, this kind of thing is creepy to think about! ”

I said, "Okay! Mrs. My master won't teach us those things! In the future, we will only learn from him the ability to do business and make money! We have made a lot of money, so let you enjoy the blessings with us! ”

My wife smiled and said, "Okay! Ahh You have a conscience, according to your talent, you will definitely be a big boss in the future! Earning money is as easy for you as carrying water by the river! After you finish eating, hurry up and do your homework and rest early! In the future, you will help me to earn money! ”

Everyone laughed!

Mrs. Mao is a believer in Buddhism, and she went back to her room to knock on the scriptures and recite the Buddha.

After dinner, we went to Xiao Da's house in Cen's house, and we hid the snake bag under the bed.

Then, the two snickered at covering their mouths!

I said, "Is the snake bag tied?" ”

Xiaoda said, "It's tied." When releasing the snake, I tied the mouth of the bag into a live mouth, so that the snake could break free when it moved. Tomorrow morning, as long as the old boy pulls the drawer, the snake will definitely run out! Then it will be up to him to create! ”

We laughed out loud!

......

It's late at night, and the crickets and owls are chirping outside!

When the time comes for us to act, we put on soft-soled cloth shoes, also called silent shoes! Wear a black night suit, also known as an invisibility cloak, and at the same time, tie a black hood on your head and wear gloves.

Xiaoda, take out the snake bag from under the bed, he walks in front, and I take a broom and walk behind.

We quietly went over the wall in the backyard of Mr. Cen's house to the streets of Daling Town!

We walked down the dark wall in the direction of the school!

When I arrived at the school gate, the doorman Lao Wang was sleeping with the lights on!

We arrived outside the fence far from the school sentry box!

From our observation during the day, this is the closest to Mr. Aung's office.

We jumped over the school wall with one hand, grabbed the wall with one hand, and easily climbed over the school wall!

We walked into the campus, and there were no lights on the campus, only dim moonlight!

At this time, this campus is empty!

Xiao Da walked in front with a snake bag, and I was in the back, sweeping away the footprints of the two of us with a broom.

Soon we tiptoed under a window of the department!

I can't open the window with my hands! I went to pull another window and pulled it open!

We entered the department through the window!

I turned on my flashlight and quickly found Mr. Ang's desk.

Xiao Da gently opened the drawer of this table and put the snake bag in the drawer.

Then, Xiao Da gently closed the drawer, gently pulled out the knotted rope end of the snake bag, and fixed the rope end in the hidden place of the table.

After we checked again with a flashlight that there was no place to go, I quickly dealt with the footprints and marks!

We left the department through the open window, and we went to the wall of the entrance through the "walking without trace", and we used the same method to climb over the wall and leave the campus!

In the end, we threw away our brooms by the river, and we climbed over the wall to return to Cen's house, and quietly returned to Xiaoda's house through the corridor in the courtyard.

When we got to the room, we fell asleep.

......

The next morning, as usual, the sixth master woke us up, washed up, and after breakfast, we went to school.

We had just arrived at the school gate, and there were a lot of people watching here, and they were bustling with people talking about things.

I heard an old man in the town say, "Early this morning, when Mr. Aung was opening a drawer in his office, he was bitten by several snakes! Now, it is being rescued at the town health center! Whether it can be saved or not, it's hard to say! He usually likes to do bad things, this can be regarded as retribution! ”

In the crowd, we saw Sister Wen Juan, who happily walked towards us and talked to us.

Sister Wen Juan smiled and said, "Ah Cai! Xiaoda! The dog that offended you was bitten by a snake! Just now, I saw him foaming at the mouth and being carried away by the doctor! Classes are out in the morning, and the school has a convention! ”

Sure enough, as soon as we entered the campus, we were told to line up on the school playground for a general assembly according to our classes. The principal and an incident investigator followed the podium.

The principal said solemnly: "Students! Mr. Ang! I was bitten by a snake this morning! ”

The senior students standing in line couldn't help but laugh!

The principal said, "Don't laugh! Who did this?! That person took the initiative to stand up! Otherwise, if you are found out, you will go to jail! ”

There was silence in the audience!

One investigator said: "Students! Don't be afraid! If any of you know of someone who deliberately released snakes, you can always report it to us! Mr. Ang is a good teacher! Usually, it's good for all of you! Whistleblowers can get our rewards! ”

There was silence in the audience!

Finally, the principal said, "All right! There have been cases of snakes running into classrooms before! It doesn't have to be done by people! Everyone went back to the classroom and waited! If the investigators call anyone, they will be questioned! Meeting! ”

After the meeting was adjourned, we all went back to our respective classrooms, waiting for the summons from the investigators.

However, we waited all morning, and no one in our class was summoned for questioning.

After school at noon, me, Sister Wenjuan and Xiaoda all went to Teacher Cen's house for lunch.

When we arrived at Cen's house, Mr. Cen and Mrs. Mao were waiting for us in the dining room at home, and we ate and chatted together.

Teacher Cen smiled and said, "Oops! It's a good day! A person surnamed Ang in your school was bitten by a snake! ”

Mrs. Mao said, "Alas! This incident kept our health center busy all morning! Thanks to the fact that he was bitten by several small snakes! It just so happens that our serum snake medicine has not run out! Teacher Ang should have been saved! However, snake venom has penetrated deep into the body! Lifelong disability is inevitable! In the future, you should stay at home more and don't go to places where there are many snakes! There are snakes everywhere in Daling Town! ”

Sister Wen Juan said: "Alas! Several of our classmates who had been beaten by Teacher Ang were called for questioning! They came back and said that the investigators were not sure that it was artificial! Investigators believe that Mr. Ang did not do a good job of personal hygiene and let the little snake get into his rice bag! This thing is really evil! ”

Everyone laughed!

That afternoon, our first class was an arithmetic class from Mr. Tao.

Teacher Tao seemed very excited, and he didn't mean to give us an arithmetic lesson right away, he stood on the podium, walking back and forth.

Teacher Tao smiled and said, "Students, I have been teaching in this school since the establishment of the school!" Yes! There has never been a strange incident in our school where a few snakes got into a sack of rice and bit people! This morning, I was just about to enter the office when I heard Mr. Lu screaming inside, so terrifying! I'm too cowardly to go in! Later, a few daring teachers with sticks went in and beat the snake to death! Otherwise, the consequences will be unimaginable! Mr. Ang is a good teacher! He was bitten by a snake on our behalf! ”

Teacher Tao touched his chest and took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat on his forehead!

We all laugh!

......

At the end of school in the afternoon, Xiaoda and I found the four dead snakes in the garbage heap at the school.

We put the dead snakes in a cardboard box, and we buried them in the grass by the river and made them a grave made of stones!

They died for us, and we should remember them in the hope that their souls will enter the paradise of happiness!

Due to the hospitalization of Teacher Ang, Teacher Li Juxiang became the Chinese teacher of our class!

......

A month later, Mr. Aung finally came out of the hospital, but he could no longer move his hands and feet freely, and he could no longer speak well! He was left with a lifelong disability.

The school saw that he could no longer attend classes, so he was discharged!

In fact, Mr. Ang is also a hard-working person! Born poor, not married, just alone.

On the day Mr. Ang left the school, we saw him carrying luggage and quilts and other items, and he left alone, and no one saw him off!

......
