Upstairs in the house, about two meters from the bamboo bed, hangs a red hose wire, and at the top of the wire is an incandescent light bulb like a small gourd. The red light line was stained with soot dust and spider webs, blackened and dirty, and had long since lost its original color.

The light of the incandescent lamps is very dim and yellow, and there is almost no white light from the moonlight outside. But it was enough to have such an incandescent lamp in the house, so that the four sons did not have to go to bed in the dark.

The top of the lamp line was covered with many overlapping and broken cobwebs, some of which were only a few pitiful 'skeletons', and most of the cobwebs were still covered with fine grass clippings and impurities that could not be distinguished. Tonight, the cold wind poured in through the cracks in the corrugated light, and the cobwebs began to swing as the light line swayed.

After a while, the four children were ready to go to bed, and the eldest ordered the third child to get out of bed and turn off the lights. Suddenly, a small ghost slammed into a light bulb from a broken window, and hit it headfirst on the light bulb, causing it to sway violently.

"What's the situation? Is it a cute elf that has crashed in, so catch it? "It's the voice of the old man.

Before the fourth child got up, the eldest Bao Zhoutong had already jumped out of the other bed, and came to the bed by the window with a big stride.

I only heard the 'click' sound of the bamboo bed, the bamboo bed broke in the middle, and all three of them fell from the bed to the floor at once. The loud sound from upstairs passed through the battered wooden floor to the downstairs, and with it a lot of white dust rose in the downstairs room. Bao Minggang, who was sleeping on the bed, knew that the bed upstairs was broken. He quickly put on his coat and ran up the stairs from downstairs 'rubbing, rubbing, rubbing': "Which of you is doing sabotage, hurry up and say it yourself?" ”

"It's a little bird trick-or-treating." The fourth child spoke first.

"Nonsense, how could a little bird break the bamboo bed?" Bao Minggang stared at Zhou Yang viciously.

"No, I mean the eldest brother broke the bed by jumping from his bed to ours in order to catch this elf." Zhou Yang said hesitantly.

"You just do some 'good things', Zhou Tong, you say, what should I do now?"

Zhou Tong quietly let go of the lark in his hand, stood in place in a daze, and did not dare to make a sound, and the little lark fluttered and flew up in the dim light.

"Don't you want to sleep tonight?" Bao Minggang accentuated his tone.

At this time, his wife Zhang Yueping also slowly came upstairs, and when she saw her four sons standing trembling in the cold night, she couldn't help but give her husband a fierce look: "Minggang, what are you doing, what should you do if you freeze your child?" While scolding her husband, she ordered the children to get dressed quickly.

The two bamboo beds were tightly connected together, and since one bed was damaged and could not be used, Bao Minggang simply removed the stool from the other bed, and the four children could only sleep on the floor at night, and the four children were all squeezed into the same bed to spend the night.

When he took away the stool, Bao Zhoutong found that the big stride just now not only broke the bamboo bed, but also broke a large hole in the floor slab, which he found alone, he didn't dare to tell his father about it, knowing the consequences if his father knew.

He secretly covered the hole with straw and put the bamboo bed on top to block it, so that there was no flaw at first glance.

I'm going to school tomorrow to get my report card, which is also the last day of the semester.

The school was already empty in the afternoon, Bao Zhoutong arrived at school very late, he overslept in the morning, and the second brother, who was in the fifth grade, also didn't want to get up, and his parents didn't care if the two of them wanted to go to school to get their report cards today, so they got up very late to cook.

When Bao Zhoutong arrived at school, it was already afternoon, and many teachers in the school had already left. He asked his homeroom teacher for his report card, put it in his school bag, and prepared to go home.

At this time, Wang Xingang, a classmate from Huanting Village, was still there in the classroom. This Wang Xingang is a junior student who does not seek to improve, and he usually lives with his classmates in school. Bao Zhoutong didn't want to ignore him, but Wang Xingang had already seen him, so he came over to him and said, "Zhou Tong, the whole school is almost gone, why don't you go back?" ”

Bao Zhoutong said: "I overslept this morning, so I came to school one step late. ”

After Bao Zhoutong finished speaking, he was ready to go home. At this moment, there was a sound of 'smashing something' at the western end of the school, and it was still very loud, and both of them heard it at the same time.

Bao Zhoutong asked Wang Xingang: "What kind of sound is this, why is it so loud?" ”

Wang Xingang said: "I forgot to tell you, there will be a good show to be staged after school this afternoon, do you want to go over and watch it?" ”

Bao Zhoutong said: "Don't make up stories, I don't believe your nonsense, this school is almost over, acting?" Who is it for?

Wang Xingang said to him lightly: "Stupid, I didn't mean that, someone in the two classes is preparing to fight in the afternoon, do you see it?" ”

Bao Zhoutong said: "Don't look at it, don't look at it, what's so beautiful about this, the sky is about to get dark, I have to go home quickly, otherwise, I will have to walk at night." Bao Zhoutong said as he ran down the stairs with rubbing, rubbing, rubbing.

Wang Xingang chased after him from behind, grabbed his schoolbag and said: "Zhou Tong, don't look at it, the teacher is finished, no one cares about the eggs at this time, they dare to come out to fight, and they can't often see it, let's go, let's go." ”

"Just go, it's a big deal to walk home at night." Bao Zhoutong followed Wang Xingang to the third junior high school classroom.

These are the two classrooms separated by the third class B and the second class C, the doors of these two classrooms are closed, but there are many people in the classrooms of both classes, and it seems that there are not only three or two people, but many voices are transmitted from the two classrooms. The two ran over and came to the window of the second junior high school class C first, and the two looked into the window and found that four or five male classmates were scolding at the junior high school class B next door. There is a large piece of blue brick on the partition wall of the two classrooms, but it seems that the hole in the wall is not too big, and the students here just use the broom handle to 'poke' into the hole in the wall.

In fact, Wang and Bao were still a step late, and the classmates in the two classes had already played a reincarnation each. The bricks on the classroom wall were 'kicked' by the students of Class B of the third year of junior high school.

In such a battle, Bao Zhoutong rarely went to watch, let alone participated. But for Wang Xingang, the more he looked at it, the more energetic he became, he grabbed the window of Class C in the second junior high school and vigorously 'arched the fire' inside: "This is too exciting enough, won't you make the hole in the wall bigger, poke it with a broom, and remove the stool and table for me as a weapon, and see if they dare to bully the small?" ”

Under the instigation of Wang Xingang, some classmates really 'kicked' the brick wall with their feet, and some people simply 'picked' it with their hands. The hole in the brick wall was enlarged little by little. The students of Class B of junior high school threw all the brooms and cement blocks into the classroom of Class C of junior high school, and some people really dismantled stools to use as weapons. The students of Class C in the second year of junior high school did not show weakness, they dragged the table over, piled it near the hole, and also picked up the stool legs and cement blocks to fight back.

Wang Xingang instigated the second class C of junior high school and went to the window of the third class B to provoke, and Bao Zhoutong had no choice but to come over to watch the excitement. The classmates in Class B of the third year of junior high school had already recognized it as a student of the first year of junior high school, and as soon as he appeared from the window, someone threw something at the window. Wang Xingang warned them: "If you throw something to me again, and if you throw it again, I will be unkind to you." "The junior high school students could not endure the threats of their classmates who were many levels below them, and when they opened the door, they threw stools and desks at the two of them, as well as stool legs and tables.

Wang Xingang ran away alone when they opened the door, and Bao Zhoutong had no choice but to run away with him. Bao Zhoutong said to Wang Xingang while running: "Don't provoke them, we can't beat them." ”

Wang Xingang said: "I'm afraid of them, they can't get together all the time, there is always a time to be alone, that is our opportunity." ”

Bao Zhoutong said: "I don't want to have a grudge against them, you don't have to pull me in." I'm going back. ”

Wang Xingang stopped Bao Zhoutongyin and said with a smile: "You went back like this, you are obviously a coward." He looked back at the things that were thrown out of the classroom, and said with a dark smile: "That's it, Zhou Tong, they threw these things, which means that it is just a pile of garbage, let's not pick it up for nothing, you can pick what you want first, and the rest will belong to me." ”

Bao Zhoutong said: "This is a school thing, I don't want it, you want you to take it yourself, I don't want it." ”

Wang Xingang didn't refute either, he walked back, picked up the stool legs from the ground, and handed them to Bao Zhoutong: "Take it, it's mine." ”

Bao Zhoutong still didn't want it, so he didn't stretch out his hand. Wang Xingang said angrily: "What's wrong with you, you don't dare to pick it up yourself, don't you want to take responsibility now, you soft bones?" ”

These words made Zhou Tong angry: "Take whoever is afraid of whom, you give me the table, and it will be really useful for me to take it back." ”

Zhou Tong walked home with the table on his back, and began to regret it after walking out of school. He wanted to send the table back, but he was afraid of being teased by Wang Xingang, he wanted to throw the table on the side of the road, and felt that it was a pity. After thinking about it, I decided to carry it home first, and besides, this table board can just make up for the big hole in the floor.
