Nine

The final exam declares the end of the semester. The children in the back row excitedly shouted "Long live liberation!" "As soon as school was over, the naughty devils jumped up like crazy, stomped on the ground, and banged on the tables and stools, and the scene was chaotic.

Cheng Peng squeezed two textbooks under his armpit and a backpack to the aisle, and walked to Chen Yue's desk, "Come, take it." He said.

"Why?"

"Can you do it, I'll leave it to you." He replied stiffly, disappearing into the classroom without looking back. Chen Yue wanted to refuse, but the opportunity to refuse was missed.

"Can I come to you for winter vacation?" Jiang Yang, Gu Ling, and Chen Yue left the classroom, and when they were walking home, Jiang Yang asked Gu Ling with a smile.

"Chen Yue can, you can't!"

"Why?"

"There's no why, just can't, hum!"

The relationship between him and her has not improved, and on the surface it is like this. Jiang Yang has worked tirelessly to come to her school at noon every day for the past week, and she also feels his heart in her heart. So, the two cautiously went back to the beginning. However, there is a strange wall between them. The troubles that arise about it make them unhappy.

Winter nights come quickly. Jiang Yang was lying on the bed thinking about his thoughts. At the end of a semester, the relationship between him and her is stronger, or is there a split? It was late, past ten o'clock. He was still tossing and turning in bed, unable to sleep. After a while, I closed my eyes tightly, hollowed out my head, and didn't think about anything, but my eyelids slackened again. At last he couldn't help but get up, leaned on the edge of the bed for a while, and put his feet on the ground to find slippers. He quietly opened the door, opened the living room door with small steps, and closed it gently. Thin hailstones fell outside, crackling on the concrete floor of the courtyard. He went to the kitchen to put on his shoes, touched an umbrella, and went out alone in the dark.

It was pitch black at the mouth of the alley, and he took advantage of the dim purple light of the night to walk on the road. He had walked back and forth here no less than a hundred times, and it was easy to get out. There was no one on the main road of the village. He walked and looked at the side of the road, and there were big boxes everywhere like toads, black and dirty. A "gray eye" hanging in mid-air is also seen. He was terrified that the toads behind him would follow him in their original form and eat him before he was ready. He didn't slow down, he didn't run, he continued at his usual pace, holding his breath and trying not to think about the oddly shaped things on the side of the road.

Finally, he walked onto the street full of lights. With a sigh of relief, he crossed the street. He had to go into the darkness again. But nothing could stop him now, and he walked to his destination in one go.

He stood there, his fingers crossed, praying. Somewhere in the darkness, he stood still for half an hour. The wind is blowing all the time. He had dressed enough, but he was still shivering with cold. The hail was still falling, splashing on his umbrella. He came here at the risk of a long prayer that no one would know.

It was almost eleven o'clock in the night when Jiang Yang turned around and left. He was surprised that he felt different on the way back than he had on the way here, and he was not as scared as he had been when he came. He crossed the street, and was about to step into his village, when a motorcycle sped out of it, and the high beams of the motorcycle gave out a blinding white light that illuminated his eyes. The body of the motorcycle slammed into his shoulder, and he spun around several times before falling to the ground. He immediately complained and shouted out into the street: "Drive so fast, hurry to be reincarnated!" When Jiang Yang got up, the driver was already far away. I can't find the umbrella, it should have been blown away by the wind, but it won't blow too far. He searched where he was, but he couldn't find it, and ran into the street to look, but he didn't see it.

The hail in the sky was still falling, and his whole body was trembling as he stood there, "Forget it, don't look for it!" He held his own grudge and ran into the village. With his ass wet and his umbrella lost, he walked home in embarrassment and quietly closed the door.

Jiang Yang quietly walked into the room, took off his coat, wiped his hair, collar and pants with a cotton cloth, and then collapsed on the bed and got into the quilt. This time it was not difficult to fall asleep, but soon after closing my eyes, I lost consciousness and fell asleep.

The past week of the holiday ushered in the day of the New Year's holiday. Today, door-to-door doors are left open. The adults were busy cooking, and the children helped to go out to buy leftover New Year's goods, dust up the house, and paste the door link.

In the afternoon, the sound of firecrackers sounded in the air one after another, and the family reunited happily around the big table to eat the New Year's dinner and chat.

Jiang Yang and Chen Yue's two families have a tacit understanding, and the New Year's dinner is very late, and it doesn't start until six or seven o'clock in the evening.

When you're done, you're done, it's over.

Next, let's play strings. Jiang Yang's father walked into Chen Yue's house, and several adults sat at the big table and talked. After talking about the common things, Chen Yue's father went into the bedroom and took out a stack of green lists. As a result, the two sides began to summarize the use of water and electricity bills for the year and settle the amount.

On the night of the fifth day of the new year, it snowed heavily until the next morning. Jiang Yang heard the sound of shovels rubbing on the ground outside the window in the thick sheets, and immediately understood: It must be snowing, and it was very big. He jumped up, quickly dressed, and walked out into the yard. The white earth, the flying snowflakes. As soon as he finished eating in the morning, Jiang Yang called his sister and Chen Yue out and proposed to push a snowman together. "No one can see it at the door of the house, we should go to the park to pile up a big one, so that the friends passing by can take a look and surprise everyone." My sister said. Jiang Yang agreed. So, they built a snowman somewhere outside the gate of the park. At first, my hands seemed cold, but it didn't take long for me to forget about it. With the joint efforts of the three of them, a big snowball was piled up, "Okay, there's still a head." "After piling it up, my sister ran home and brought a pair of chopsticks, and Jiang Yang picked up a few stones on the ground and simply decorated the snowman." Alright, done! After everything was settled, Jiang Yang said.

On the other side of the road came two boys, one tall and stout with a boy beside him. They saw three people crouching at the entrance of the park, tending to something, "Hey, you guys! The tall boy shouted at the three. The three looked back strangely and stood up.

"Yes, it's such a cold day, and I'm still in the mood to build a snowman here." The big boy, dressed in a black coat and with a cigarette in his mouth, said nonchalantly.

This dress doesn't look like a serious person. They didn't want to pay attention to him, and it just so happened that the snowman had been built, and it was time for it to end.

They were ready to leave. "Don't move!" Suddenly, the child next to him raised the toy gun in his hand and pointed it at them, "Stay where you are!" My eldest brother still has something to say," the kid commanded, yelling at his mouth.

"What do you want to say?" Jiang Yang asked the big boy.

"That's right, go in and say."

They walked ahead and into the park.

When they entered the park, the big boy looked into the distance and led them into the bushes of the park until they reached a corner at the end. Due to the cold weather, there were not many people in the park. "Is there any money?" Finally, they understood the purpose of this guy, and brought them here to pave the way for this sentence, so that there would be an environment to speak.

"Nope." Jiang Yang said. Then, the older boy fixed his eyes on Chen Yue and his sister. "Nope." Both said at the same time.

"No?" The big boy obviously couldn't believe them, "It's better to be conscious and take it out." He pretended to flick the cigarette butt in his finger and shoved it back into his mouth.

The three of them were silent.

"Hurry up and take it out." The hairy boy next to him looked anxious and shouted.

Jiang Yang was not afraid, but when he saw his sister shrinking behind him, he knew that his sister must be extremely scared. However, Chen Yue was also terribly worried. Who can he count on to save them now? No one. Now there is no one to rely on, but it has become the only support for the two people around him.

"Don't hand it over yet!" The older boy threatened again, "You say you don't, that's good! But do you dare us to search our bodies? ”

The three of them remained silent.

"Search!" At the sound of an order, the little man next to him rushed to their side, and the first to reach into his pocket was Xiao Ai, who tightly covered his jacket pocket with his hand to prevent him from succeeding.

"Take your hands off me!" The little man shouted and tried to bite Xiao Ai's hand, but the hand finally let go. "Big brother, there are 20 yuan." He literally took the money out of his pocket, happily returned to the older boy, and showed off the unearned banknotes in his hand.

At this moment, my sister burst into tears, ran up, and grabbed it with her hands, "Give it back to me, you big villain, give it back to me." "My sister was in a hurry and desperately wanted to get her money back.

"Get out of here!" That kid pushed his sister down on the snow, and shouted in his mouth: "Little bastard, dare to lie to us!" ”

In an instant. Jiang Yang could no longer sit idly by, although he knew that if he made a move, the big boy would definitely make a move, but he couldn't stand it anymore. He ran over and grabbed the little man by the collar with one hand and slammed it on the top of his head. "Bastard thing!" He shouted. The boy looked surprised and hurried back. He wasn't hurt much, but he was shocked: he dared to hit me, he dared to hit me in front of my eldest brother.

Jiang Yang's face immediately gave a punch from the front, and the flesh in his nose rolled. The boy in the overcoat didn't say a word, just dealing with the person in front of him. My sister was scared half to death on the side, screaming and running away, "Villains, you wait, I'll call Dad to clean you up!" ”

Jiang Yang felt the old injury on his leg recur, and he staggered to his knees. Chen Yue was already so frightened that his legs were weak, he didn't suffer any injuries, but he was already sitting in the snow, watching the scenes in front of him with blank eyes.

The savior finally came, Jiang Yang's father entered the park under the leadership of his daughter, and immediately saw his child being pressed to the ground by a big boy.

"Hey, where are you daredevils?" The father shouted as he reached out to grab the big boy, but he was too late. The big boy quickly looked back at the shout, jumped up and ran away. The little man was frightened on the side, and chased in the direction of the big boy, shouting: Wait for me, wait for me.

They would never have thought that the little girl was not lying, and that their house was indeed nearby. The little man who followed behind had already begun to regret what he had done. He kept running and looked back from time to time, and the figure of an adult slowly approached and approached. As soon as I was nervous, the snow under my feet slipped and fell down. When he stood up, his father's large hand was already firmly grasping his arm, and he would never let go.

"You're robbing my daughter of her money?" Father asked, staring gloomily into those little funny eyes.

"No, no, it's not me."

"Not you? Okay, come with me. So saying, the father brought the boy to his daughter.

"Xiao Ai, isn't it him?"

"That's him, little rascal!" My sister pointed at him and said.

Jiang Yang walked over with Chen Yue on the shoulder. His injuries were nothing at all, and he hated this bad boy who bullied his sister more than the big boy's actions. He wanted to teach this guy another hard lesson.

"Jiang Yang stop," the father stopped, "let the person who should do this kind of thing do it, now..."The father said and looked at the little boy, "hand over the money." ”

The boy trembled and put his hand into his pocket and took it out again.

"You can't just let him go, he bullied Xiao Ai!" Jiang Yang shouted.

"Leave it to the police." My father called the police.

"No, no, no." The boy was apparently frightened by his father's words: Call the police? No, take some money and call the police?

When he was taken away by the police station, his father told the officers that there was another guy who had escaped, but he should be an accomplice with this kid, you go back and enlighten him, I believe he will recruit him.

When the little boy got into the police car, his face instantly sank, and he felt extremely regretful: What am I doing? What the hell did I do? What am I doing?

My father said he wanted to meet the big boy. The next day, I took a bus to the city police station. He learned that none of them were under the age of 16. The little boy was detained for 1 day, while the older boy was detained for 3 days.

"Why are you robbing?" The father asked when he saw the older boy.

"Because I don't have any money."

"No money? Don't you have a job? ”

"No, I entered the society after graduating from junior high school, and no one else wants me"

"Officer, I want to say a few more words, just a few words." After talking to the police outside, the father entered the door again.

"You said that no one else wants you, do you know why?" Father then asked.

"I don't have a degree, I don't have the ability."

"Very well, that's right. Then you should learn the skills to go out and rob? Since the school doesn't want you anymore, why don't you learn the craft, your good youth has been wasted by you! ”

The boy looked guilty, bowed his head and did not speak.

The father walked up to the boy and sat down on the wooden bed, the only piece of furniture the child had access to for three days. "Kid, listen to me, go out, learn some real skills, okay?"

The boy nodded silently.

Outside the door, a policeman in a light blue uniform and a military hat walked in. "Rest assured, sir, we will educate him in 3 days. We can say whatever you want to him, you don't have to worry about it. The policeman beckoned him out the door.

When he went out, his father shouted, "You must listen to me, and don't do stupid things again!" ”

The voice came through the door into the boy's ears, a concern from a stranger, so real. He closed his eyes, tears squeezing out from under his eyes.
