There is a kind of shackle that you can't see or touch, but after tying you, if you can't break free, you are doomed to achieve nothing in this life.

——— inscription

Xiaopan River, thousands of miles of lofty mountains.

Ten teenagers, whistling, walked out of a mountain forest.

Suddenly, there was an open field in front of meadows.

In the sunset, ten teenagers were full of red light.

"I'll get a lot of it this time!"

"I don't know, it's a big gamble today, and there are millions of wins and losses!"

"Hehe, when I get the money, I can buy a bike!"

"Cut, you don't even have a road in the village, buy a wool, it's better to buy a mobile phone, I heard that now a smart phone can be bought for a thousand dollars!"

"Why do you buy a mobile phone, do you play games? You don't even have electricity in your village, this is hard-earned money, save it, and keep it for college! ”

"Last Mao, college? I heard that it costs tens of thousands of yuan, you are a nerd, and when you work, you know to shrink aside! ”

"Autumn is coming, I'm going to Anseong to buy a new set of clothes for my grandma!"

"Haha, it's still Xiaohu's filial piety!"

"Don't make a fuss, the boss is ahead!"

Suddenly, a group of teenagers fell silent.

As the sun set, on the hillside, a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy sat lazily.

Facing the slanting sun, he gently blew a wooden leaf, tactfully and melodiously.

He has thick eyebrows and big eyes, a handsome face, and a handful of red hair on his head, which is particularly eye-catching in the residual sun.

I don't know when, in the woods, clusters of dandelions, rising all over the sky, flew over the boy's head.

His figure, under the dandelion, was desolate and bleak.

"Fly, can you fly?" Glancing at the top of his head, in an instant, a fine light flashed, but in an instant, it was silent.

He continued to blow Konoha lazily.

At this time, the footsteps approached, and the group of teenagers came belatedly, surrounding him, with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes.

He frowned.

"What for?" He said, "Didn't I teach you? Wherever you go, you have to hold your head high, look at you one by one, stand or not, sit or not, and go out one day, don't say that I am a person who is coiling the mountain. ”

"Hey, that's what the boss said!"

"Of course, those guys are also polite to the boss!"

"In the future, as long as you follow the boss, you can eat and drink!"

"That's, what do you think those guys are talking about today? Including their boss also said that in Panshan, as long as there is Zhao Shanhe watching, it will be safe and worry-free! ”

"Shut up!" Zhao Shanhe snorted, threw away the Konoha in his hand, and said coldly, "Do you still think you are a gangster?" I bought you for this little money? Any idea why they're here to gamble? That's because they think that we are backward barbarians, ignorant and ignorant, and they should be great benefactors! ”

"Then why are you still giving them a sentry!" A teenager muttered.

"If we don't do it, someone will do it!" Zhao Shanhe's eyes darkened, "The public security bureau doesn't care, the police station doesn't care, what can we manage?" You remember one thing, we just have to let the wind out on the side of the road, never gamble, and if anyone can't help it, don't blame me for not recognizing him as a brother! ”

A teenager said: "Boss, I heard that our school has a beautiful headmaster, and she is very nice!" Mobilize students everywhere to go to school, and today they also went to Gurong Village, they almost fought with Luo Bangcheng's old thing, said you don't believe it, that old thing, the dog has been not in oil and salt, stubborn, and has always looked at our gang of people unpleasantly, but this time I was persuaded by the principal, and I also gave her a set of batik clothes of our Buyi people! ”

"yes!" Another teenager took over and said, "Lao Tzu is still going to say, when I grow up, find a chance to beat this dog day, Lao Tzu didn't steal his chickens, touch his dogs, why have they been targeting us, now it's okay, I was persuaded by our principal, and I took a bad breath!" ”

"Xiaohua Xiaofang and they have all gone home from school, and they are helping the principal to promote it everywhere, they said, how good the principal is, and is going to take our third-grade students to Anseong for sightseeing, and they also said that they will take everyone to the provincial capital by high-speed rail!"

"What do you think?" Zhao Shanhe spoke.

"Of course I'm going back!" A teenager pouted, "Didn't you say that if you want to get out of the mountains, you have to go to school, and we all listen to you!" ”

"However, I still want to make more money, and in the past few days, we have all earned more than a thousand yuan! Anyway, it's still early to leave school, and there is still a month, during this time, we can earn a little more, and we can share a little bit of the burden of our parents! When the time comes, when the weather is cold, there will be no income at all! ”

"It's good, that's it, I feel a little wrong, a few days ago, a few teachers entered our village, met those people, two sentences were wrong, they beat our teachers, this can't be done, Dawn School is free of books, tuition, and accommodation, so that we all have books to read, some teachers, from the city, are dragged a little, but the purpose is still for our good, and they didn't provoke them, why beat people, anyway, the teacher was beaten, I feel uncomfortable!"

"So what, even if we don't earn their money, but there are many people's families, and we can't beat others, Luo Bangcheng doesn't care about that old thing!"

"He's in charge of yarn, I heard...... I heard that it seems that someone stabbed him more than ten years ago, this person has a little relationship with our school, so he has been unpleasant to see our school, his two little cubs, graduated from primary school, have been nesting at home for a year, just don't let go to school, even with their people in the village, don't want to go! ”

"Then what should we do? Do you want to fuck those guys, fucking shit, dare to beat our teacher! I told him that he couldn't even gamble, so Lao Tzu went to Zhao Yunfei's house at night and carried the powder gun, for fear that he would be a wool! ”

"I have a saber at home! When my dad falls asleep, I'll carry it out! ”

"I have a knife at home, but every morning I have to feed the cattle with grass, and it's not easy to do it, so the pig-killing knife is shorter!"

"You are stupid, let me teach you, the pig killing knife is connected, the original handle is removed, the longer one is connected, it is light and flexible, and it is better than the gate knife! Hey? Boss, why are you so ugly, you say something! ”

Zhao Shanhe slowly stood up, looked around at everyone, and was angry.

"You're really promising, and you want to cut people again, right? Come on, come on! Don't mess with their gangs, come and cut me first, turn me over, whoever you want to kill, whatever you want! ”

"How could that be?" A teenager laughed dryly, "We don't dare to mess with you!" ”

"Won't?" Zhao Shanhe snorted coldly, "You are all going to heaven, a knife for a while, a gun for a while, why don't you go to be a bandit?" Take my words as wind in your ears? ”

"Just know that we ......," the boy muttered, "you are more fierce than anyone else in the fight......"

"What did you say?" Zhao Shanhe glared.

Everyone shrank their necks and stopped talking.

"I don't think it's that simple!" Suddenly, Zhao Shanhe spoke slowly, "Think about it, why do those people dare to gamble with great fanfare?" This week, the location hasn't changed, and I think, nine times out of ten, I've hooked up with some people! ”

"You mean," a teenager was surprised...... "Public Security Bureau?" ”

"No!" Zhao Shanhe shook his head, "Two years ago, there was a female director of the Public Security Bureau who took office, what is it called?" The surname is Liu, anyway, he is very powerful, his style is very positive, and he has promoted a lot of newcomers, no one in the Public Security Bureau dares to mess around, otherwise, there is still a need for people to sentry? Maybe someone at the police station took the benefit! ”

"Then why are you beating our teacher?" A teenager was dissatisfied, "There is no interest linked!" ”

"Mostly because of us!" Zhao Shanhe said, "You don't know those teachers, they are so arrogant, they must know that we are letting off the wind in the mountains, and we are dissatisfied with those people...... Since the matter is up to us, therefore, we should not participate in this matter, just don't come tomorrow, we won't come, and there will be no contradictions! Money, when everyone learns their skills well in the future, are you afraid that you won't be able to earn it? ”

"So, boss, how much can we get today?" A teenager stepped forward and asked with a blank look.

"Na!" Zhao Shanhe took out a wad of money from his pocket and stuffed it into the young man's hand, "There are two thousand here, you can take it and divide it, one two hundred, save the money, don't spend it indiscriminately, and when you use it in the future, take it out!" ”

"Gotcha!" A group of teenagers, smiling, ran to the side and went to divide the money.

Zhao Shanhe shook his head, lit a cigarette, and sat alone on the side, looking at the remnant sun on the mountain, silently.

"Gone, Boss!"

"Bye-bye, boss!"

"Boss, let's go to the school tomorrow, I'll call you!"

"yes, boss, remember to carry your Martin guitar on your back!"

The breeze caressed, and the soot between Zhao Tianhe's fingers fell off.

In his mind, a picture flashed through his mind.

The first time he entered the city, he was nervous and curious, with an endless stream of vehicles, exquisite and shiny jewelry stores, and smiling restaurant ladies.

Also, the old locust tree in front of the teaching building of No. 1 Middle School.

It's been seven years!

That year, he was only eight years old, and he followed his father to sell a superb orchid.

They all said that they could sell it at a high price, but they never thought that a leaf was broken on the way, and in the end, they couldn't even sell the fare for returning.

He didn't know what the man's name was, and even, the man's face was blurred in his mind.

He only remembered that it was very windy that day, and the orchid grass blew bends, just like his father nodded and smiled at passers-by at the flower and bird market.

All he remembered was a young man, his tall and scowling back, the shocking scar on his face, and the guitar on his back.

Seeing him passing by, for some reason, he chased after him.

"Big brother!" He looked at the young man with tears in his eyes.

The young man turned back, but bent down and wiped the tears from his cheeks.

"Don't cry, man!"

"But, Daddy and I can't go back, we have no fare, woo woo! My father kept begging someone to buy orchids and plants, but he couldn't sell them! ”

"A man bends his waist, not humiliation, he is for his family, for his loved ones, this is courage, it is glory! You should be proud of your father! ”

The young man glanced at the man not far away, nodded, and walked forward.

Shanhe didn't dare to speak anymore, but he followed suit, cowering and following the young man.

"What are you doing with me?" The youth turned back again.

"I ...... I do not know! He stared at the guitar on the young man's back.

"Like her?" The young man put the piano down, "Here you go!" ”

"I ......," Shanhe hesitated, "and Daddy said, "I can't accept other people's things for no reason!" ”

"It's a gift! It was once given to me by one person! The young man smiled, "I won't play the guitar in the future, it's a waste to keep it, remember, this is Martin, if you want to be worthy of her, you have to work hard!" ”

Shanhe thought about it, and in the end, he took the piano and couldn't put it down.

"Boy, you can't cry in the future, the children in the mountains can stand up to the sky and the earth, in this world, there is a shackle, you can't see it, you can't touch it, but after tying you up, you can't break free, you will be doomed to nothing, remember, be brave!"

The young man was gone, and the mountains and rivers were stunned.

The arrogant back gradually walked away, and finally, it turned into a black dot and disappeared.

"What is this shackle?"

At the top of the mountain, Zhao Shanhe stepped on the cigarette with one foot.

At this time, the horizon began to dim, and his figure, eventually, became a dot, dimming in the vast mountains.
