Section 41 Soy sauce

When Zhang Peng was in elementary school, he had a classmate named Yang Jiachan. His family sells sauces in the village, so his father gave it this name. Because of the homonym with the famous "Yang Jiajiang", there happened to be a female teacher surnamed Mu, and when the classmates saw him, they always liked to shout, "Your wife Mu Guiying is here, run away, otherwise you will be caught and spanked." ”

Yang Jiachan is honest and shy, and when he was shouted like this, he ran away with a red face. From a certain point of view, Yang Jiachan is very similar to Ding Dahui, but the latter is like a cow, and his temper is very hot. Compared with Lao Niu, Yang Jiachan is more like a donkey, and when his temper comes up, he is very stubborn, but he is not aggressive. It belongs to the type that holds its breath and does not say a word.

Yang Jiajiang has many brothers and sisters in his family, and the economic conditions are not very good, so there are a lot of patches on his clothes. However, those who study in this school are basically not very wealthy, and it is not uncommon to have patches on their clothes. But what's terrible is that Yang Jiajiang's patch hit the buttocks, in circles, like a shooting target.

During morning exercises or physical education classes, Zhang Peng lined up behind Yang Jiachan, and when he saw the target, he couldn't help but shoot with a pistol. Just imagine being shot with a gun and pointed at the buttocks, even if it is fake, it is very uncomfortable. Yang Jiachan's protest method was to clench his fists, blush, and reason with Zhang Peng, "It's not right for you to do this, you don't respect your friends." Or just say earnestly, "Don't beat, if you spank again, it'll rot." ”

Zhang Peng's temperament is relatively lively, and he naturally likes to socialize with honest people. If you say something nice, it's called complementarity, and if you say something unpleasant, it's easy to bully and get along with. And Yang Jiachan, who was born in the countryside, also likes to be with Zhang Peng, a child of the army. Because Zhang Peng is more generous and has good things to eat, he will not forget him, and even if Zhang Peng is joking, he will be measured and will not hurt the self-esteem of others.

Yang Jiajiang also often invited Zhang Peng to play in their village, go down to the river to catch fish, go to the pond to catch river mussels, roast sweet potatoes in the field, and go to his orchard to pick oranges.

When I was in the fourth grade, Yang Jiachan once quarreled with a classmate from the next village. The classmate made fun of him for being poor, poor in study, and timid. Yang Jiachan blushed, saying that his family was poor and his studies were poor, but he was not small.

Zhang Peng was next to him at that time, although he was very unhappy, he didn't dare to say anything. He has been a cowardly since he was a child, and unlike now, there is no one to rely on. It's just that he is the child of an officer in the army, and no one dares to bully him. But it's casual to bully the friends around him. After all, Yang Jiachan is also a coward......

But that day, Yang Jiachan was not cowardly at all, facing the bad classmates who were half a head taller than him, clenching his fists, blushing, and arguing with reason.

"You're just cowardly." "I'm not timid." "You're just cowardly!" "I'm not timid!" "You're a coward!" "You're the coward!" "Your whole family is cowards!" "Your whole family is cowards!"

Elementary school students quarrel and come and go just a few words, but the speed of escalation of the war is not inferior to that of adults, and even surpasses it.

The two scolded and scolded, and then they fought. That time, it was probably the first time Zhang Peng saw Yang Jiachan fighting. Zhang Peng, as always, shouted and cheered beside him. As a result, Yang Jiachan was naturally defeated, was ridden on his body, punched several times, and his face was scratched. That bad classmate, nicknamed "Daba", just like his nickname, was born big and fat, domineering and very powerful.

But later, the Yang family sauce became powerful, and with the desperate spirit of the "Yang family general" in the story, he bit it with his teeth!

Somehow, maybe he was scared by Yang Jiachan's bite, Daba didn't fight him anymore, but pointed downstairs and said, "Soy sauce seller, if you really have the guts, come back to school this Saturday, let's go and pry open the window of the utility room downstairs to see what's inside, I think you have the guts." ”

"Come on, I'm afraid of you!" Yang Jiachan responded to the battle.

The utility room they were talking about was where Zhang Peng was looking at it now. Every year at the opening ceremony, the principal will repeatedly emphasize that the utility room is for dangerous goods, and students should not approach it.

Later, according to Daba, he just wanted to scare Yang Jiachan and let him admit it, but he didn't think about really going. Unexpectedly, Yang Jiachan, who has always been hopeless, agreed to come down. It was difficult for him to ride a tiger for a while, so he had to fake it......

"Brother Xiaopeng, what are you looking at?" Sensing Zhang Peng's abnormality, Xiao Tianqing gently shook his arm and asked.

Zhang Peng came back to his senses, pointed in the general direction, and asked, "Have you heard of that utility room?" ”

"Hmm......" The two sisters frowned lightly at the same time, as if they were caught in a memory. After a while, Xiao Tianqing said, "I remember, the teacher told us not to get close, saying that there were dangerous goods inside," Xiao Yunuo said uncertainly, "I heard that there was a dead student?" ”

"No......" Zhang Peng shook his head and said, "It's not dead, it's just ......"

At noon on Saturday, Daba and Yang Jiachan arrived as scheduled. As a witness, Zhang Peng also came. Although he is very cowardly, his curiosity is stronger than that of ordinary people. He also wanted to know what was hidden inside. I even wondered if there was something valuable in it that could be sold for scrap and get some money to buy soda popsicles. Anyway, he just watched from afar, and there would be no danger.

With his military knowledge, unless inside was a whole room of grenades, and was also detonated by them. Seventy or eighty meters away, he could only be injured if he was observing with a telescope. Moreover, he also wore a bulletproof vest that day, which was the one that stole his father's guards. Even though Azure was hot and stuffy, he persevered.

On Saturday, the campus was silent. At this time, there are usually no students and teachers coming back. Because the school is located on a mountain, the road is relatively long and empty. When there are few people, there are all kinds of eerie legends, so no one will come back.

It is said to have been a place of internal censorship during times of unrest, with classrooms and auditoriums filled with unjust deaths. Based on this alone, few people dare to come back during the holidays. Moreover, this is not groundless, those vague slogans on the wall truly record the madness and cruelty of that era.

Zhang Peng stood on the high slope and looked at the two people below. Daba held a woodcutter and iron tongs, and Yang Jiachan held a crowbar and a hammer, and slowly approached the grocery room at the staircase.

Down the slope, due to the low terrain and the perennial leakage of the toilet upstairs, the wall below is wet and covered with dark green moss. There is sewage on the ground all year round, and some of it is dirty.

Next to the grocery room is the sports warehouse on the left, and the wooden glass windows look through the straw mats. To the right, there is a classroom with closed doors and dusty glass windows, and tattered desks and chairs.

It can be seen that there is basically no one coming to this layer. Even if there were, it was just a quick walk, and no one stayed here for long. As for the sporting goods, Zhang Peng later recalled that the physical education teacher always asked obedient male classmates to go in and get them, and then sent them back when they were finished, and he had never been there a few times.

On the second floor, there are three classrooms, which are the Young Pioneers supplies warehouse, a temporary classroom and a slide projection room, and it is a place where no one has stayed for a long time. It is not difficult to see that the teachers at the school are very taboo about this place.

The utility room had one door and two windows, one next to the door and two large windows, and one above the door and two small windows. What they want to pry, naturally, is the large windows. At that time, people's security awareness was very poor, and this was a suburb and it was in the mountains, so when designing houses, they didn't think much about preventing thieves.

"Alas......"

Just as the two of them took the tools and began to pry the window, out of nowhere, a sigh suddenly came. The voice was faint, not very loud, and it could even be said to be a small voice, but the three of them were stunned at the same time, and they all heard it.

At that moment, Zhang Peng still clearly remembers that there seems to be a cold wind blowing from behind, giving him goosebumps.

The two people below were suddenly frightened, and the things fell to the ground, and they rushed back.

"Did you hear that?" The big bully asked in a trembling voice, the horizontal flesh on his face twitching.

Zhang Peng and Yang Jiachan both nodded, their faces turned pale and their lips turned blue.

The three of them ran away for a while, gradually recovering from the shock.

"Oops, my kitchen cutter and pliers are still there." It was only then that the big boss remembered that he hadn't taken the tool back.

"Why don't you ......," Zhang Peng came up with an idea, "When you wait for Monday, come back early, and when class is about to start, there are many people, so rush over to get it." The main reason why he said this was because he didn't want to go back and he didn't want to leave the school alone.

"It's all cowardice, you guys go, I'll go back and get it myself." Daba said proudly. But Zhang Peng knew that he didn't dare, but it was hard to tell him.

Yang Jiachan seemed a little hesitant, and his crowbar didn't get it back.

"Let me explain first, I'll go back alone, and when the time comes, you won't be able to find your things, don't blame me, whoever picks it up will be whoever picks it up." Daba hinted to Yang Jiachan that he was going to take the crowbar and hammer. It's all tools, and it's worth a little money.

Often those who are cunning, even if they are only in the fourth grade of primary school, have already begun to show their edge.

Yang Jiachan is still hesitating, even though his family is very poor and can't lose those tools, he is always a coward. And his friend Zhang Peng is obviously reluctant to go back.

"Cowardice, you deserve to sell soy sauce for the rest of your life, and then ask for a daughter-in-law to buy soy sauce in the future, and the whole family sells soy sauce." After saying that, the big bully left without looking back.

Yang Jiachan's face was blue and white for a while, and he quickly chased after him. Zhang Peng was reluctant to go alone, so he naturally had to follow.

It didn't take long for the three of them to return to their previous positions. Zhang Peng was on the high slope, watching from a distance, and the other two were down the slope, slowly approaching the utility room.
