Chapter 1 Sweet oranges

In 1975, on that moonlit night in late autumn, the brigade showed a movie. When I think about it, my life changed overnight.

At that time, in the countryside, watching movies was definitely a rare enjoyment, and there were only five or six times a year, and the brigade gave notice in advance. Often that afternoon, the team will finish work very early, and every family will have dinner early, especially those unmarried young men and women, wash their hair and take a shower, clean up, put a handful of melon seeds and peanuts in their pockets, and rush to the school playground when it is still dark, chewing with fragrant mouths, laughing and gossiping, waiting for the movie to start.

The happiest thing is actually our little tricks, watching movies is happier than the New Year's holiday. When the screen was hung, the school playground was already full of tall and low benches, and everyone wanted to grab a good position in front of the projector and wait in the playground early.

As early as noon, the projectionist of the projection team brought the film, and we went to watch, three iron boxes, two thick and one thin, were marked with red paint, and the thin ones were written "The cultivation technology of Jiaying rice", and the thick ones were written "Playing gongs. Mending the pot" and "Crossing the River Reconnaissance".

The film is not good-looking, "hit the gong. "Mending the pot" is a drama film, Hunan Flower Drum Opera, which has been shown before, and it is similar to the model play, we don't like to watch it very much, we only like to watch combat films, such as "Tunnel Warfare", "Mine Warfare", "Shining Red Star", "Little Soldier Zhang Ga" and other movies, how many times to watch it is very enjoyable.

I haven't seen "Crossing the River Reconnaissance", but as soon as I heard the name, I knew it was a combat film. This one definitely has to be a good look. But according to the previous rules, new films and good-looking films are generally placed at the end, and additional films and old films are placed in front, and you have to watch them again if you don't want to watch them. Anyway, it's dozens of times better to watch a movie than to watch nothing at all, isn't it?

At the end of school, Zeng Sanhong, a mountain carving, pulled a few of us to the side and said to me in a sly manner:

"Green trees bear cucumbers, green skins pack cotton, cotton bags combs, combs wrap bean sprouts. Would you like to eat this? “

I paused and asked:

"What are you going to do?"

Huang Shiren Li Xiren said:

"You just said if you want to eat it?"

The mountain carving is talking about oranges. I told them this myth about oranges.

The thought of oranges, the fragrant golden balls, the juicy white and fat crystalline granules, and the alluring taste of sweet and sour filled my mind in an instant, and my saliva flowed unconsciously. Who wouldn't want to eat something so tempting and good?

"Oranges there?" I snorted, confused.

Huang Shiren and the mountain eagle looked at each other and smiled, I was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood that these guys were fighting the idea of the orange tree in Nan's father's house. They want to steal the oranges from Daddy Nan's house and eat them.

I don't want to steal the things of Nan's father's house, so I want to speak out against it, Hu Hansan Liu Deyong interjected: "You don't need to pick it, you are watching at the intersection, someone just comes and sends a code, we are responsible for picking it, even if we are caught, it is none of your business, how about it?" “

"They discussed that they would only pick five, and we would pick one for each person, and never pick more. I said you won't agree......" Zhou Xiaojun, who was skinny and skinny, approached me with a smile and said, but before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by a staring face:

"You curry favor with the seller again, and you don't eat it when you take it off."

Zhou Papi was immediately silenced, and grinned at me with some embarrassment.

"Tonight's movie, it's a rare opportunity, do you want to do it? Just waiting for your words. Huang Shiren stared at me and said.

Looking at the four pairs of eyes staring at me, I hesitated for a while.

The five of us are the well-known naughty king of the village, our five people's families belong to the second, third, and fourth production teams, although they are not the same production team, but they live very close, Zhou Papi and I are neighbors, his father is the breeder on the team, and the farthest away is Huang Shiren of the second team, but the distance is only half a mile away.

We are about the same age, only one or two years apart, we played mud together when we were young, and now we are in the same class in the fourth grade, and we mix together every day.

Li Xiren was born stocky, a big man, like to use his hands and feet, once the village showed the movie "White-Haired Girl", the bully landlord in it was called Huang Shiren, the next day he made me cry, I scolded him as "Huang Shiren". At that time, he was anxious with everyone, and fought several times, and we still called him "Huang Shiren", and later even adults followed. He had no choice but to admit his "name",

But he was unwilling to pull everyone in, so Liu Deyong, who was a little short-sighted, became the "Hu Hansan" in the "Shining Red Star", and the lean Zhou Xiaojun became the "Zhou Papi" of "Chicken Crow in the Middle of the Night" because of his surname Zhou, and he was the tallest

Zeng Sanhong, who is tall and has a few pockmarks on his face, is the "mountain carving" of "outwitting Weihu Mountain", and I originally had a nickname of "monkey", but it did not match the names of the four of them.

I protest: At least it should be "Hu Chuankui Commander Hu", right? The four of them laughed in unison: Commander Hu is so fat, he will change his name after eating fat. I was helpless. It's good that everyone is used to calling me a monkey, except for arguing and fighting, no one usually calls me "Diao Deyi".

Teens is the age of teasing cats and dogs, naughty and mischievous, and we have a lot of peach trees and plum fruits in the village. But I really don't want to steal the fruit of Nan's father's house, not because I don't want to eat it, but because it's unnecessary. Because his family has always had a share of his food, I want to eat it, and I will pick it openly, and I can't steal it.

A few of them can't do it, they don't have the same treatment as me, Daddy Nan of the butcher is angry, his eyes are scared to death, and few of the little tricksters are not afraid of him.

Seeing that I was silent for a long time, the mountain carving sighed in disappointment and said, "Forget it, go home early, and watch a movie at night." “

The four of them walked a long way with their schoolbags on their backs, and I caught up with them and said with some weakness: "Okay, then it's okay, only five are allowed, and I'm only responsible for sentry." “

Several people hooked shoulders along the way and made a plan of action with a smile.

The moon that night was oval and bright. The movie began to show before it hung on the treetops at the top of the East Mountain.

As expected, sure enough, the first film was played, and it was finished in about 20 minutes, and then "Playing Gong. A few minutes after the screening, a few of us sneaked out of the playground and headed straight for the orange tree in front of Daddy Nan's house.

The cold moonlight sprinkled on the tall orange trees, the green oval broad leaves glowed with silver, and the oranges competing to squeeze out the leaves bent the branches, like countless golden full moons hanging on the trees, and the frost wind blew, swaying slightly, and radiating bursts of fragrance. Everyone unconsciously snorted.

Huang Shiren took the lead, Shan Diao and Hu Hansan followed, but Zhou Papi and I were left behind. It wasn't until the mountain eagle Zeng Sanhong scolded him that he hurriedly followed, and I turned around and stood at the intersection, watching the hazy backs of the four of them dissolve in the moonlight, and then into the darkness under the orange tree.

At this time, everyone was watching movies in the playground, and Daddy Nan and my parents were sitting together, and there was no one at home. I don't have to worry about being discovered.

The orange tree was on the slope on the side of his house, and I was keeping watch at the intersection, but they were actually trying to pull me into the water, giving me an excuse to deceive myself. Don't say that no one is coming at this time, even if someone comes, you can't see a few of them. Night is night, and no matter how bright the moonlight is, it is dim and dim, and it is impossible for people to look far, not to mention that the moonlight only obliquely shines on the upper part of the orange tree, and the light in the lower part is obscured by the houses and trees in the east.

When I stood at the intersection of the orange trees only thirty or forty meters away, I could only see a few swaying black shadows, which I still knew that a few of them were there, and they had a preconceived subjective consciousness, and if I didn't know about it, I might not be able to notice.

Standing on the stone steps at the intersection, I could hear the flower drum singing from the loudspeaker in the school playground, and I thought that after a while, I would be able to eat the fragrant, sweet and crisp orange petals, and my saliva was soaking my lips and teeth.

I was contemplating the taste of oranges alone when a gust of wind blew from behind me, and I couldn't help but shiver. I turned around and unconsciously glanced ahead, and it was this glance that surprised me.

On the road ahead, in the bright moonlight, a gray figure of medium height was turning out of the corner of my house and walking along the path in this direction. Because it is still a little far away, I can't see the eyebrows and eyes clearly, and I can't tell the difference between men and women, let alone know who it is.

I was startled, quickly coughed a few times, sent a secret signal to Huang Shiren and a few of them, and then asked loudly to the figure, "Which one?" “

This is also a disguised reminder to them: someone is coming, hurry up and hide.

The man didn't pay any attention, but walked along the road, seeing that he was getting closer and closer. I was thinking about who was coming and how I could explain to him why I was here, but it was dark in front of me, the moonlight in the sky seemed to be obscured by a dark cloud, and the surrounding houses and trees were hidden in the night. When I looked up, the moon was obscured by a thick cloud.

I breathed a sigh of relief, and I didn't have to worry about them being discovered.

After a while, the moon slowly revealed little by little, and suddenly the dark shadow disappeared, and the moonlight shone through the mountains and rivers again.

"Oh no!" I slammed it.

Something was wrong, and I found the road empty under the moonlight. The oncoming man was gone. I wondered in my heart: It stands to reason that the man should have come to me for a moment, but why did he disappear? I looked around with my eyes wide open, but it was still empty, not to mention people, cats and dogs.

Could it be that he also wants to steal oranges to eat? Seeing that I was found to have escaped while it was dark? But that's not right, just a moment ago, at most, it was just over a minute, and no matter how fast he escaped, he couldn't run far, and it was impossible to see it now, not to mention, I didn't seem to hear the footsteps of someone walking at all.

At that time, I didn't take it to heart, and I didn't think too much about it.

After reconfirming that there was no one, I coughed dryly a second time, signaling to Huang Shiren and the others that the danger was gone. A few minutes later, a few of them came over with oranges, and I hurriedly asked:

"Who did you see coming?"

"Who's coming? Obviously, I haven't even seen a ghost flower, who is here? It scared me," Huang Shiren said with a big grin.

"Monkey, you don't mean to scare us, do you?" Hu Han three ways.

"People are scary, scared to death. Especially at night, when I was still in a tree just now, I almost fell down. The mountain carving was full of displeasure.

Zhou Papi didn't say a word, and handed me a big round orange. I was a little annoyed, and cursed: "Dog's liar, I can see very clearly, that person is from the corner of my house, but he can't see clearly, and he doesn't talk when he asks, and then there are no clouds covering the moonlight, and nothing can be seen in the dark?" When the moonlight comes out again, there will be no one, and I will ask you. “

"What do you say? Just clouds obscuring the moonlight? You also said don't lie, the moonlight has always been good, when was it covered by clouds? Talking nonsense with your eyes open. "The mountain carving has a bad breath.

Zhou Papi interjected: "Did you doze off just now?" Or is it dazzling? “

"What are you dozing off? Can I doze off standing up? “

I looked at them suspiciously, Huang Shiren, Za Shandiao, and Hu Hansan might have deliberately scared me without telling the truth, but Zhou Papi would definitely not follow the three of them to coax me.

However, when someone was coming, and there were dark clouds covering the moonlight, why did they say that there was not? Could it be ...... I shuddered, and an inexplicable fear rose in my heart.

"Let's go, let's go, if you don't believe it, forget it. Hurry up and eat oranges and go to the movies. "I don't want to stay here for a moment.
