He let go of his hand, and Tie Qian fell to the ground, and Tie Qian's wooden handle was stained with blood, and she saw that his palm, which was as rough as a chicken's claw, had ground out several blood bubbles, and one blood bubble was worn out, and blood gushed out of the veins, dripping on the piles of southern red agate rough stones in the ground. He saw her staring at his injured palm, and he quickly clenched his fists, his ten fingernails covered in black mud.

She asks Applejack how is it, is it painful? Applejack smiled shyly and shook her head. She saw a box with a red cross next to it, and she asked a forty-year-old woman who was working with her head down: Is this a medicine box? The woman told her, "Yes."

So she opened the box and found iodophor, cotton swabs, band-aids, and Yunnan Baiyao, she first dipped a cotton swab in iodophor to disinfect his wound, then sprinkled some Yunnan Baiyao, and then used a band-aid to firmly wrap the wound.

Applejack's eyes are moist, and since his father, mother, and grandmother died, there have been fewer people who care about him. And his grandfather is also old, not in good health, frail and sickly, basically to raise him in a rough way, he came to work in the mine, in addition to not liking to school, there is no better way out, you can also earn some money to subsidize the family, if necessary, you can also take grandpa to the town hospital to treat a small problem that has a seizure from time to time.

Many of the workers on the construction site—men, women, and children—were looking at the young and beautiful girl who looked like she was from the city, treating Applejack's wounds.

The other two children, who are good friends with Applejack, see that Applejack is going back to school and want to leave the tormenting mining area where they are physically and mentally tormented and return to school. For them, school is not only a cradle of learning, but also a paradise that allows them to escape from this purgatory-like mining area.

When she left the mining area with Ajie, Xiao Ling, and Wang Feng, she casually looked back and saw a dozen children who had been knocking on the rough stone of Nanhong Agate with their heads down standing up, some holding iron stalks, some empty-handed, some with open mouths, and some with smiles on their faces—looking at their distant backs for a long time. Behind them, the mine resembles a gigantic, scarred corpse.

When she returned to school and started classes, she found that the three children did have a very poor foundation, writing less than 300 words in an essay, and the handwriting was sloppy, there were many typos, and many math problems could not be done. But they have a very lively personality, you can hear their loud laughter as soon as they get out of class, and they have a good physique and athletic ability, and they perform well in physical education class. She spent a lot of effort and time tutoring them in Chinese and math after class, and after a few months, their grades improved significantly, and she gradually won their love.

There is no feast in the world that will not be dispersed. A few months later, the summer vacation volunteer teaching time ended, and she delayed for half a month, but finally had to go back to Shenzhen. At noon on the day she left, when she had eaten the farewell lunch prepared for her at school, sat in the old clean-washed van of the village party secretary at two o'clock in the afternoon, poked her head out of the window, and waved goodbye to the students who were standing at the school gate to see her, many children ran to the window with tears in their eyes and gave them their farewell gifts, mostly postcards and letters written on paper used as text and notebooks. She searches for Applejack among the students, but she never sees Applejack.

The car started and quickly left the school along the narrow loess mountain road. She tidied up the gifts given by the children, carefully put them in the backpack beside her, and then looked at the mountains and rivers on both sides of the road with affection. Suddenly, the branch secretary who was driving looked in the rearview mirror and shouted, little rabbit, don't die.

She looked in the rearview mirror, and a boy riding a dilapidated Jialing 125 motorcycle followed closely behind them at a high speed, and kept shouting, "Teacher Meimei...... Teacher Mei Mei ......"

A loud voice echoes through the valley, yes, it's Applejack, that's Applejack.

She told the village party secretary to slow down and stop slowly. The village party secretary slowed down and slowly parked the car on the side of the road. Seeing this, Applejack stops her motorcycle as well. The village party secretary poked his head out, twisted to the back and shouted at Applejack, why are you riding so fast, it's dangerous to follow my car, don't you know? I don't know what to do when I honk my horn and pull my throat?

Applejack tells the village party secretary that the horn is broken. There is no way but to shout.

He flicked a hand and ran to her car window. She opened the door and jumped out of the van.

Applejack handed her a square wooden box and told her, "Teacher Meimei, this is my gift to you, thank you for teaching me knowledge, will you go back to Nanshan Village to see us?" ”

She took the little wooden box and was so touched that she said to him, "Thank you for the gift, I will come back to see you and see all the students." Applejack, you must remember that riding a motorcycle is dangerous, don't ride a motorcycle at such a fast speed on a mountain road, the teacher wants you to be safe. ”

"I was going to see you off at the school gate with my classmates, but I wanted to make this handmade box look better at home, and as a result, it was delayed. So, I can only borrow a motorcycle to chase you. I'm sorry, Ms. Meimei. Applejack said, his eyes lowered, a little ashamed.

Applejack gave her a small, square wooden box made of sawn pine planks with strips of coffee-colored wood grains that could smell the faint scent of pine trees. Small nails are nailed to the corners of the box, making the box very stable.

When she gently opened the small drawer in the box on the train back to Shenzhen, she saw a string of exquisite southern red agate beads, with fine workmanship, pure color, and red as blood. Under the Buddha beads is a small note, she opened the small note, and a paragraph was written crookedly on the note: Teacher Meimei, this string of Buddha beads is polished by the master in the village with the good stones I picked up from the mine, I hope you can like it, it will bless you with peace and happiness, we are reluctant to let you leave, and we will always wait for you to come back.

She likes this string of Buddhist beads very much and has always worn it on her left wrist, but because she is about to take the college entrance examination, she has not had time to return to Nanshan Village, Daliang Mountain. On a spring night in the first semester of her junior year of high school, a phone call from Daliangshan disrupted her peaceful life. The caller was Applejack's grandfather, who told Satsuki on the other end of the phone in Mandarin mixed with a strong Liangshan dialect that since she left, Applejack was in a terrible state, like a bison that no one could manage, and that skipping school to fight and causing trouble became commonplace, and his academic performance was getting worse and worse. He was worried, and he begged her to call him, talk to him, and persuade him to see if she could turn him back.

In the evening, when Applejack returns home, she calls Applejack as agreed. Hearing her voice, Applejack is very excited, he asks her when she will go back to Nanshan Village, she tells Applejack that she may not be able to go back for a while, Applejack, Teacher Meimei is really sorry for her dishonesty.

Applejack is silent for a few seconds before telling her that he doesn't like his current teacher, who is not as good as her, that he is not interested in studying at all, and that it is difficult for him to catch up after his academic performance drops. He didn't want to study anymore, but he didn't want to work in the mine either, the agate mine was too tiring and bitter.

She asked him what he was going to do if he didn't study.

I want to be a fighter and become a famous fighter like Xiong Chaozhong who went from the mining area to the world.

At that moment, she was silent, she didn't know who Xiong Chaozhong was, but if it was his dream to become a fighter, she was relieved that he had his own dream when he was suffering so much.

After putting down the phone, she began to look around for a boxing gym, and later, she heard that there was a famous fight club near Shenzhen University, where Jin Tianya, one of China's most famous fighters, trained. So, she came to Pengqiang Fight Club many times to visit and experience, when she saw that this club is very professional, the teaching system is scientific and advanced, the coach is strict and serious, and has cultivated many well-known professional fighters, she knew that she came to the right place, so she went straight to the gym owner and head coach - "God of War" Jin Tianya.

After Jin Tianya learned the real situation, he agreed to let Ajie come to the club for free to learn free fighting, helping him realize his dream step by step and become a professional boxer.

After getting Jin Tianya's promise, she immediately contacted Ajie and told him the news, Ajie was very happy, he knew that Jin Tianya, the king of Chinese fighting, did not have a TV at home, so he often went to his classmates' houses to stay up late to watch his fighting matches, and he thought that Jin Tianya was the best fighter in China.

However, his dream plan was opposed by his grandfather at the beginning. His grandfather tells Applejack that boxing is not safe and will kill people, and that there hasn't been a single boxer in their family for generations. And he didn't feel at ease when he went from the remote Daliang Mountain to Shenzhen in the south - even though he had been to Shenzhen once when he was young. He is old, he is afraid of being alone, his son and daughter-in-law have left him forever, and he does not want his grandson to leave him too.

On one side is a lonely and worried old man, on the other hand is a young man with dreams, she feels a little uncomfortable in the middle, however, Ajie's heart has obviously flown from Nanshan Village in Daliangshan to Pengqiang Fight Club in Shenzhen, he left school and returned to the mine to mine, a month later, when he settled the bill with the contractor and received thousands of yuan of hard-earned money, he left the mine on a gloomy afternoon, left Nanshan Village, left his grandfather, came to the county seat, lived in his aunt's house, he bought a mobile phone, Let his aunt buy him a card, he plans to take a car from the county seat to Chengdu early the next morning, and then take a train from Chengdu to Shenzhen, and then call her after arriving in Shenzhen, and ask her to take him to Pengqiang Fight Club.
