Destiny Chapter 8: The Red Bike

Resting under the plane tree in the yard is a red bicycle.

The red bicycle was a wedding gift from Teng Zhi and Su Wei when they got married, and this bicycle was used for Su Wei when she wanted to go out for a walk around but didn't want to pick her up.

The red bicycle has two large wheels, and the wheels are half the height of a person's height, and the wires of the wheels are fine, tough, and powerful. A basket was installed at the front of the car, and when I bought it, the basket was woven with wire, but after the sun, it was quickly covered with rust, and Su Wei made a basket with rattan for easy cleaning. However, the position of the seat bag is a bit high, and a one-foot-five height like Su Wei, usually when getting into the car, the body must be slightly tilted, and then tiptoe up and push forward a few steps to get into the car smoothly.

Once, when she said that she wanted to use the rain and dew on the lotus leaves to make tea, Su Wei took this to heart and rode to the nearest lotus leaf pond early in the morning.

There will be a big turn close to 90 degrees near the lotus leaf pond, which can be regarded as a blind spot. Unfortunately, at this time, a black private car happened to pass through this turn, Su Wei just looked at the pond, turned her head and saw the car, her hands trembled, shook the front of the car left and right, and suddenly her eyes were dark, and she fell heavily to the ground, her knees and elbows rubbed the ground a few meters away, and finally hit her head on the flower bed. She was later admitted to the emergency center, where her knees were ulcerated and pus-filled, shriveled blood seeped through the dust, and her body was cut by small stones from the stone path.

The bike is a shade of red for Suvi. Because of the car accident, she didn't dare to use the car to get around.

After her wound healed, she tried to harness it, but as soon as she held the front of the car with both hands, the fear in her heart came to her, like an invisible shadow pushing her down the road, and she described to me that it was a very bad experience.

Many years passed, and the car was abandoned there.

After the tavern was done, I saw him sitting under a tree drinking tea at noon. He lay in a rocking chair, one foot on the other, and fell into a staggering slumber for a few moments. The dragon ball in his hand was tightly gripped, and he didn't let go of his rotation for a moment. I stood on my tiptoes lightly and walked that way.

"Don't say hello when you see an elder?" Ritsu closed his eyes.

I didn't expect his hearing to be so sensitive, it turned out that he was closing his eyes to recuperate, no wonder the dragon ball turned tight and powerful.

"Hello grandpa." I stopped, bent over, and bowed my head.

"Come and sit down." He opened his eyes and looked at me, and the bloodshot in his eyeballs appeared, and his double eyelids were visibly visible.

I gently sat down on the small wicker chair next to him and picked up a fan to fan the wind.

Inadvertently, the law saw that the intact bicycle was left here like this, and immediately ordered the Seven Monarchs to clean it up.

"Do you want to learn how to drive?" Ritsu looked at me and smiled.

I suddenly felt that this smile similar to a bright smile was a little unreal from his face, and I hesitated for a moment before agreeing.

"Yes." I nodded.

"Lan Xin, Lan Xin." Suddenly, the law called Lan Xin.

"Master, what's the matter?" Lan Xin put down the work in his hand and ran over.

"Go and call Jin'er down." The law gives the dragon ball to Lan Xin.

Sure enough, Jin'er is indeed the first person to consider anything.

"Put it back for me." The law says.

"Yes." Lan Xin nodded.

The law proposes to teach us to learn bicycles, and whoever learns it first will give this car to whomever it is.

Qijun pushed the bicycle to the front of the yard, took out a bamboo bucket filled with water, threw in a rag and began to wipe it, even the small gap under the tail seat of the car, picked up the rag and penetrated it into the gap, and poked the rag into it with a bamboo to make it easier to rub back and forth. After rinsing off the dust, the bike looks like it just left the factory, with minimal scratches if you don't look closely. Who would have thought that this was a car that had been in an accident.

"Let's go." The lawyer lifted the bicycle stand with one kick, and Jin'er and I followed.

"I'm sure I'll be familiar with it before you because I learned to drive before you." Jin'er stuck her tongue out at me.

"You weren't riding on four wheels at the time, how can you compare to two wheels." I pointed to the bike I was riding in front of me.

"You just don't understand anything." Jin'er pointed at me and laughed.

What I wanted since I was a child, Jin'er always got her beloved things one step ahead of me, and even though I knew that her ridicule was not malicious, I still cared very much about her words.

When I was a child, I gave Jin'er a bicycle, and painted it with a layer of pink paint, and the front of the car was full of ribbons, which was extremely windy. I tried to remember, and I didn't remember, what I owned, but I was used to the "conventions" of adults.

Along the way, no matter how Jin'er teased me, I pretended not to hear, and before I knew it, I had come to the running field.

"We have to find a place where there are fewer people to practice." The law looks around and observes the environment.

"There it is, there's a big empty space in front of a row of horizontal bars, and there's no one." I say.

"Okay, let's go there." The law continued to push the bike.

"Grandpa, let's ride over!" Jin'er wanted to snatch the bike.

"No, there are a lot of people here, it's too dangerous, and with a lot of gravel, it's easy to slip." Ritsu pushes the bicycle and kicks away the gravel with his foot.

This running field is the largest running field in our Ziyang, and the people here give it a very nice name, called "Xingyue Field", because here at night, you can see the most complete starry sky, without any obstruction, and the people above the top floor, looking down, can see a huge double circle, also called "circle center field".

As long as it is an important festival, the stadium hosts dramas, performances and lantern riddles.

When the running field was not fully established, it resembled a deserted mountain forest, with a ring of gray-black dirt on the outside, and as long as athletes came to train and run, there was always a black mist behind them, and the inner ring was dead grass that could not grow after being trampled by football players.

"Listen to me, everyone rides two laps first, Jin'er comes to try it, sit on it first." The law made a good tripod and helped Jin'er.

"I know how to ride." As soon as Jin'er got on the seat, she was ready to kick.

"Wait a minute, don't rush, listen to me. What you hold in your hand is the front of the car, and what you can pinch in front of you is the brake, you must remember that you can't hold it all at once, and brake slowly. "The law is demonstrated.

Jin'er nodded. "I see."

"Okay, then I'm leaving." Jin'er rubbed her left foot on the ground for a few steps, moved her right foot on the pedal, and after a few steps, put her two feet on the pedal.

"Remember, you can't brake suddenly, if you see someone, you will start braking from afar." Discipline points ahead.

"Xining, do you see how Jin'er rides? It's up to you in two laps. The law said.

"See, I see." I say.

After two laps, Jin'er stopped the car.

It's my turn.

"Come, Xining, sit down." The law helped me into the car.

But I didn't expect that my height was not enough to tiptoe to the ground, so I could only grasp the car by turning it a little sideways.

"Come, I'll push you, you kick slowly." Ritsu held my back and the front of the car, and I could even feel the warm palm of Ritsu penetrating my back.

"I can." I didn't do what I was supposed to do, I pedaled very fast, and in the blink of an eye, it was a circle.

Until the turn, there was a group of children coming straight through the middle, and when I turned, we just happened to bump into each other, what should I do? Brake! Brake! I let go of my right hand to touch the brakes, and when I pulled it, the speed was much slower, but the person was right in front of me! What to do! I turned the front of the car, back and forth, and finally avoided the crowd, and was almost in front of them, and the second lap arrived.

The Commander had already walked in front of me, directing me to start braking slowly now, and he was following me in front of me.

"I still want to ride!" So I passed them and went straight to the third lap.

"Hey! How are you like that! Jin'er looked at the law and pointed at me.

I stepped on the turn in front of me and forgot to brake, and a person suddenly ran out to pick up the football, and I braked sharply, and the whole person fell down and fell on the mud, and the whole body was gray-black mud. They hurried up to me, and the law slapped the dust on my behalf.

"You see, disobedient." The law scolded me and slapped it.

"That's it, tell you to ride three laps." Jin'er crouched down and looked at me, checking my knees.

"You two sisters are still obedient." Ryu pushed the bike, "Let's go back." ”

Later, the law did not mention taking us to practice driving, and after a long time, this matter was put on hold again.

One day, Su Wei mentioned that there was a garbage can at the intersection in front of our yard, and when she was trimming the loquat leaves, she heard a few cat meows, and it turned out that there was a group of kittens by the garbage pile, and they were all gray coat color.

When I heard this, I asked Jin'er if I wanted to go with me and bring them home, and she immediately rejected me. Seeing that the law was not there, I pushed my bicycle out and let the Seven Monarchs support me behind me.

Arriving at the intersection, I leaned over to look at the trash can, and only one gray cat was conscious, and the others were probably dead.

After thinking about it for a long time, I decided to take it back and put it in a cloth bag, after all, I can leave a thought for you.

As soon as she opened the bag, Jin'er was startled, because it was covered with maggots, probably because of the smell of blood, which caused the maggots to overflow, and the ears were all wriggling maggots, beating actively, I was scared and wanted to touch, Jin'er asked Lan Xin to prepare a plate of warm water to wash off the worms on her body.

We changed the water several times and found it all useless. After washing, Jin'er leaned on a cloth pad, let the sun dry the hair, and then asked me to take tweezers, she stared carefully at its ears, pinched out the insects in the ears, and after clamping a few insects visible to the naked eye, we realized that we couldn't go any deeper, and if we went deeper, the maggots would get deeper and deeper when they were stimulated. We fed it with a spoon again, but we didn't expect it to end up choking to death like Xiaoxue.

We looked out the window, and while the adults in the family were not there, we started the burning operation in Jin'er's room.

Qijun and Lan Xin are responsible for picking up bark, branches, and broken leaves outside, Jin'er is responsible for preparing plates and fans at home, etc., and I am in charge of guarding the door.

We lit the fire and prayed, watching the cat's corpse get darker and darker, but nothing could be ashed, and finally, we gave up and continued to burn.

After we took the cat out with tweezers, Jin'er pulled out a box from under the bed, which we placed under the plane tree in the yard.

Maybe after this time, we are also convinced that we can no longer have cats.
