Chapter 5 The fifth wild awn

Huang Chunxiu said that after Dagou entered high school, he became a complete nerd, and even became short-sighted.He went to the county town to get a pair of glasses with the money sent back by the puppy.He didn't go to the county town on foot this time, but took a bus extravagantly.The big dog went to the city to get glasses, and went to the restaurant to find the middle-aged woman, but the middle-aged woman was no longer there.The big dog asked many people, but none of them knew where the middle-aged woman had gone.Dagou felt very uncomfortable. If the middle-aged woman asked him to call her mom, he would agree.Big Dog has been wearing glasses to school since he came back with glasses.Zheng Wenge was the first to say: "The big dog has become a 'four-eyed dog'." Since then, many students have secretly called the big dog a "four-eyed dog". Why should you care.In fact, "four-eyed dog" sounds pretty good. Big Dog knows that people in Zhangshu Town call those educated people who wear glasses "four-eyed dog". To be a literate person is a big dog. Of course he doesn't care if others call him a "four-eyed dog".It's just that when he wears glasses, he will think of the puppy who earned money with Zheng Wenjie in a foreign country, and a substance like water will rise in his eyes. He knows that it is called emotion.He thought, if he didn't study hard and didn't pass the college entrance examination, he would be sorry for the dog and his father Li Wenhua and Zheng Wenjie.

Big Dog often goes to the wild mansfield on the river beach to read at dawn with a book in his arms.He read aloud in the wild awn field, startling the birds in the wild awn field.Those birds didn't know whether his voice was lethal, so they ran away before being killed by his voice. The people fishing in the river looked towards the wild mango field in amazement. Who was talking loudly in the wild mango field early in the morning?They can't see people.There is an uncapturable light flashing in the vast field of wild awns, a green light in spring and a white light in autumn. The big dog said to Huang Chunxiu, studying in the wild mansfield is quiet, why don't you go with me, if you want to go, I will call you every morning.Huang Chunxiu blushed.Now she has grown into a beautiful and shy girl. She is ashamed to be alone with the big dog, although she often goes to the big dog's house to ask the big dog for advice.She blushed and said, "Big Dog, I'm not going." Big Dog looked at Huang Chunxiu who was blushing stupidly, he thought Huang Chunxiu's blushing look was pretty, and his heart trembled subtly, but he calmed down soon , he didn't think much about it, he always regarded Huang Chunxiu as his younger sister.

"Why?" The big dog's voice has become a man's voice, not the childish voice.They are all growing up. "No reason." Huang Chunxiu's big eyes flickered. The big dog emphasized again: "The wild mango field is very quiet, and it is a good place to read." Huang Chunxiu lowered her head and said, "Really?" The big dog nodded firmly. Only then did Huang Chunxiu say what was in her heart: "Then you can call me. I will go to study in the field of wild mango with you. But don't call me by my name." The big dog said stupidly: "Why?"

Huang Chunxiu still blushed and said, "There is no reason, why do you always ask why!" The big dog became stupid, Huang Chunxiu thought. The big dog looked at Huang Chunxiu, scratched his head vigorously, and said, "Then how do I call you?" Huang Chunxiu laughed and said, "Just bark like a dog!" The big dog nodded: "Alright, I'll bark like a dog." Every morning, a dog barks "Wow, woof, woof" from Huang Chunxiu's house.Zheng Yangmei felt uncomfortable from the noise, she wondered: "Where are the wild dogs, barking at the door." Huang Chunxiu pretended to say: "Mom, I'll go out and have a look." Zheng Yangmei turned over and fell asleep again caught.After Huang Chunxiu went out, she didn't come home anymore. She knew that her mother would fall asleep again after hearing Dagouxue's barking. Mother loved the bed very much in the morning, and she thought that going to bed in the morning was the most comfortable thing.

Huang Chunxiu and Dagou went to study in the wild mango field on the river beach. This place is really a good place, the air is fresh and no one disturbs them.The two of them found a place to sit there and recited what they should recite.Studying here, they all feel that they get twice the result with half the effort. At first, she and the big dog read books face to face. Every time Huang Chunxiu reads a sentence, he can see the big dog wearing glasses reading intently.Big Dog is also Huang Chunxiu whose face is flushed every time he reads a sentence. Huang Chunxiu turned her back. The big dog also turned its back.

They read back to back in the field of wild mangosteen. Liu Jingao was still their head teacher. At that time, Zhangshu Town Middle School had a shortage of teachers. Liu Jingao had been Dagou's head teacher from the first year of junior high school to the second year of high school.After that, it never happened again. Liu Jingao became more and more helpless with Zheng Cultural Revolution. This kid grew up fast, and when he was in high school, he surpassed the big dog Pu Weihong and the others, becoming the tallest and strongest student in the class.Ever since his elder brother Zheng Wenjie and the puppy left Zhangshu Town to earn a living and save money, he has been free.No one can restrain him.Originally Zheng Wenjie could discipline him, but after Zheng Wenjie left, he became a fairy.It is symbolic for him to study at school. After breakfast, he put his schoolbag on his back and said to his father, "Go to school." The father was very happy, and the Cultural Revolution went to school again. He never asked about what to learn.Zheng Wenge slipped away within two classes at school.He can't stay at home and school.Whether at school or at home, he felt like he was tied up with a rope, and he didn't feel any pleasure.

He was always hanging out with the idle young people in town.There are two people who often stay with him, one is You Nanshui and the other is Song Jianshe.You Nanshui and Song Jianshe were the ones to be offended in the town, not to mention fighting, they even sneaked around and did anything bad.When Zheng Wenjie and the puppy were around, he didn’t really show them, because Zheng Wenjie loves to fight against injustices. When he saw You Nanshui and Song Jianshe bullying others, he would stand up and speak out. Both You Nanshui and Song Jianshe were afraid of Zheng Wenjie and Zheng Wenjie Behind him was a tall, thin puppy with a pair of wolf eyes. The butcher's knife in the puppy's hand was scary, and they didn't want to provoke the puppy.Therefore, after Zheng Wenjie and Xiaogou left Zhangshu Town, the two boys began to show off in Zhangshu Town.

Soon after Zheng Wenjie and the puppy left, Zheng Wenge beat Tiedan together with You Nanshui and Song Jianshe.After Tie Dan left the puppy, there was no one to play with him.He was extremely lonely, and besides dragging the bellows for his father, he wandered around the countryside in Zhangshu Town by himself.Zheng Wenjie and You Nanshui Song Jianshe blocked Tiedan on the same road.Tie Dan was in a bad mood, still drooling, with those buffalo eyes open, not angry at all.People say that Tie Dan is only human when he is with puppies.Tie Dan looked at Zheng Wenjie and the others, and Zheng Wenge smiled and said, "Tie Dan, are you not proud now?" Tie Dan didn't understand what Zheng Wenge was talking about.He ignored Zheng Wenge and the others and kept walking.Song Jianshe held a wooden stick in his hand, and he used the wooden stick to block the iron egg.Tiedan was annoyed by them, and he howled at them, "Go away! You all go away!" Zheng Wenge was irritated by his demeanor: "Beat him!"

Song Jianshe has always been ruthless in beating people, and he hit Tie Dan with a stick.Tie Dan let out an "ouch". "You still scream!" Zheng Wenge kicked Tiedan.You Nanshui spat on Tie Dan's face.Tiedan was hit by them, he didn't seem to feel any pain, and he didn't fight back.He just said, "Why did you beat me?" Zheng Wenge said, "You were the one who beat me, you little dog's follower!" They walked away when they had beaten enough.Tiedan waited for them to leave before sitting on the muddy floor, and burst into tears: "Why did you hit me?"

Zheng Wenge and Liu Jingao generally did not have any conflicts. He had long forgotten about Liu Jingao saying that he "made grass", and no one dared to mention it again.If you want to be beaten, then you can say in front of Zheng Wenge: "Biancao".No matter how quiet you are, as long as Zheng Wenge can hear you, then you will be miserable.After school, you'll be attacked on the way home.At least you will be slapped a few times, and at worst, your head will bleed! It's not that Liu Jingao doesn't know about Zheng Wenge, but he can't do anything about Zheng Wenge. He once thought that if Zheng Wenjie was there, then Zheng Wenge would be saved. sink deeper and deeper.Zheng Wenge generally didn't cause trouble at school, and he had no interest in his classmates. According to his own words: "Rabbits don't eat grass by the side of their nests." This principle of his did not anger the school, allowing him to hang around in school.

But Zheng Wenge also had times when "rabbits ate the grass by the side of the nest". One day, he sat alone under the eucalyptus tree in a daze.Watching cousins ​​Huang Chunxiu, Yang Xiaoyun and Liu Xiaoli skipping rope in the sun.He thought about it, Huang Chunxiu is recognized as a school girl in the school, she wants to have a good face and a good reputation; Yang Xiaoyun is a bit fatter, but she has fair skin and is not ugly, so she is passable.But the one named Liu Xiaoli is not so "beautiful".He thought blankly, why did Liu Xiaoli's face look like his father's.Especially the big nose, lying on that big face like a garlic head, and that big face is covered with pimples.What made Zheng Wenge feel uncomfortable was that Liu Xiaoli always squeezed the pimples on her face with her hands, sometimes bloody.He stood up suddenly and said loudly to Liu Xiaoli: "Liu Xiaoli, do you know that you also have three highs." Liu Xiaoli gave Zheng Wenge a white look.Zheng Wenge was overjoyed, he laughed haha. Zhao Bo approached, and he asked Zheng Wenge: "How can Liu Xiaoli have three highs?" After entering high school, Zhao Bo got mixed up with Zheng Wenge again for some reason. Zheng Wenge stared at him: "Idiot! You can't read it yourself!" Zhao Bo smiled. Yang Xiaoyun said loudly: "Zhao Bo is Zheng Cultural Revolution's follower!" Huang Chunxiu laughed. Zheng Wenge stopped laughing, and said, "Liu Xiaoli, you have three heights: a tall nose, a tall stature, and a tall butt!" Zhao Bo laughed out loud. Zhao Bo almost died of laughter, he crouched on the ground hugging his stomach. Liu Xiaoli covered her face and flew away. Huang Chunxiu walked up to his cousin Zheng Wenjie, stared at him, spat on the ground in front of him and said, "Zheng Wenge, you are so wicked!" Zheng Wenge suddenly found that his cousin Huang Chunxiu looked much better when she was angry than usual.Zheng Wenge was very proud of his great discovery. He thought he was pretty good at discovering the characteristics of the two female classmates in a short time. Liu Xiaoli felt very sad when she was insulted by Zheng Wenge. She returned to the classroom and cried on her desk.The classmates all looked at her, and some were still secretly laughing. Huang Chunxiu and Yang Xiaoyun are back. They went to Liu Xiaoli to persuade Liu Xiaoli. "Xiao Li, why are you angry with him? He has been telling nonsense since he was a child. No one would believe what he said." Huang Chunxiu stroked Liu Xiaoli's hair and said, "Xiao Li, don't cry, okay? Who said you It’s not good-looking, your hair is the darkest in our class, mine is always yellow, my mother or I are a yellow-haired chick. Xiaoli, don’t cry, okay?” Yang Xiaoyun took Liu Xiaoli's hand and said, "Xiaoli, don't cry, let's tell the teacher later. Let the teacher talk about Zheng Wenge." Liu Xiaoli lay there and said, "Don't tell the teacher." Yang Xiaoyun followed her and said: "Okay, don't tell the teacher, let Chunxiu deal with him, he dare not do anything to Chunxiu scolding him." Liu Xiaoli raised her head, wiped her tears with a handkerchief, and said, "Don't tell the teacher. I'm ugly, but Zheng Wenge can't insult people like this." Huang Chunxiu blinked her big watery eyes and said, "I have a way to deal with him!" Yang Xiaoyun looked at Huang Chunxiu and said, "Chunxiu, what can you do?" Huang Chunxiu shook her head and said: "I asked my mother to clean him up, but he is still afraid of my mother. Xiaoli, don't cry, he will be a good looker at night, I promise he won't dare to say that about you tomorrow .Do not worry!" As soon as Huang Chunxiu came home, she told her mother Zheng Yangmei about Zheng Wenge's bullying of Liu Xiaoli at school.Zheng Yangmei said: "This bad boy is even worse than Wenjie back then. Wenjie always reasoned when fighting and playing tricks. This brat just caused trouble without any reason. He should be disciplined." Immediately came to Zheng Wenge's home. When Zheng Wenge's father saw Zheng Yangmei approaching angrily, he wondered what kind of evil she had committed.Zheng Yangmei said aggressively to her brother: "Where's Zheng Wenge? Call me that brat! I think he's getting more and more lawless!" Zheng Wenge's father said, "Why is he pulling? Why are you looking for him so fiercely? No matter what, he is still your nephew." Zheng Yangmei glared at her brother: "You know how to spoil children, you will suffer if you continue like this! Where is he?" Zheng Wenge's father had no choice but to say weakly, "He's in the room." Zheng Yangmei shouted loudly at the door of Zheng Wenge's room in the hall: "Zheng Wenge, come out to my old lady! Get out!" Zheng Wenge stepped out, and he looked desperate: "I'm going to sleep, aunt, what are you doing with such a fuss, whoever messed with your old man, I'll beat him up! Aunt, what do you say?" , who bullied you!" Zheng Yangmei was furious: "You bad boy, who dares to bully me! Tell me, tell me the truth today, what bad things did you do at school again?" Zheng Wenge grinned at Zheng Yangmei and said, "Gun, don't listen to Xiu's nonsense, I haven't done anything bad. I can obey the school's discipline now, what bad things can I do!" Huang Chunxiu followed her mother all the time. At this time, Huang Chunxiu said without showing mercy to Zheng Wenge: "Why didn't you do it? You said that Liu Xiaoli's three high-ranking students made Liu Xiaoli cry. She is good and didn't mess with you. , you bully others, what a man!" "Is there such a thing?" Zheng Yangmei asked. At this time, Zheng Wenge's father asked: "Cultural Revolution, what are the three highs?" Zheng Wenge smiled and said, "It's true that the nose is tall, the stature is tall, and the butt is tall. Liu Xiaoli is one of these three, and I didn't scold her." Zheng Wenge's father laughed out loud, "What's the matter!" Zheng Wenge said to Zheng Yangmei's mother and daughter as if nothing had happened: "That's it, aunt, it's time for you to go back and cook, Xiu, are you hungry?" This made Zheng Yangmei very angry. She wanted to beat Zheng Wenge in the past.She slapped him.Zheng Wenge laughed and dodged, quickly entered the room and closed the door.Zheng Wenge said in it: "If Liu Xiaoli looks as beautiful as Xiu, I won't talk about him." Zheng Yangmei took Huang Chunxiu's hand and left. She was shaking with anger, and she vowed never to set foot in this house again.Zheng Wenge's father was still grinning, as if he was happily watching a play. Huang Chunxiu's family was eating lunch when they heard the bicycle bell outside the door. Huang Chunhong, who was already in the first grade of junior high school, had his ears pricked up. "Who is at the door?" Zheng Yangmei asked with a serious face. Huang Chunhong didn't say anything. The bicycle bell rang again hastily. Huang Chunhong looked impatient: "I'm leaving." Zheng Yangmei still said with a sullen face: "Don't say who it is, don't leave." Huang Chunhong's face turned red. Huang Chunxiu said at this time: "I'll go out and have a look." Huang Chunxiu went out to have a look, how could there be any bicycles.She went back into the house and said to her mother, "Mom, there is no one." Zheng Yangmei rolled her eyes and said, "This is weird." Huang Chunhong's face was a little red: "Mom, I can go now!" Zheng Yangmei waved her chopsticks without thinking of anything: "Let's go, let's go!" When Huang Chunhong went out, he saw Zheng Wenge riding a brand new Phoenix bicycle coming from a small alley. He got on the back seat of Zheng Wenge's bicycle and said, "Cousin, where did you get such a new bicycle?" Bicycle.” Zheng Wenge said proudly, “Is your cousin capable?” Huang Chunhong smiled and said, “You’re bragging again.” Zheng Wenge hated others saying he was bragging, and he said loudly, “You don’t need bragging, you don’t need trains. Push, you are capable of handling this brand-new bicycle.” Huang Chunhong patted him on the shoulder and said, “Cousin, there is no need to say anything, you are capable if you teach me how to ride a bicycle!” Zheng Wenge proudly said Said: "It goes without saying, who told you to be my cousin, I will not break my promise to you." Huang Chunhong was happy.Zheng Wenge took Huang Chunhong to the school playground and taught Huang Chunhong how to ride a bicycle. That car belongs to Zhao Bo. After Zhao Bo went to high school, for some reason, he didn't like playing with nerdy big dogs anymore. He really wanted to get closer to Zheng Wenge. He felt that there was something about Zheng Wenge that fascinated him, but he couldn't figure out exactly what that fascinated him was. Zheng Wenge became dismissive of Zhao Bo. Zheng Wenge didn't like being with his classmates. He felt that being with his classmates was boring, and there was no stimulation at all. They followed the rules and kept talking about studying. Zheng Wenge didn't feel any interest.He wants to play something different from his classmates. One day, Zheng Wenge felt bored all by himself. He hid behind the open-air stage and smoked alone. He smoked a cigarette and looked at the lofty sky.He was puffing away, when he suddenly heard someone calling him: "Zheng Wenge." Startled, he instinctively threw the cigarette away.He thought it was the teacher who found out that he was smoking and took care of him. When he looked back, he cursed: "Fuck it, scare me, what are you doing here." Then, he went to the grass to find the cigarette he had thrown away.The cigarette was still smoking in the grass, Zhao Bo took a step forward, picked up the cigarette, and handed it to Zheng Wenge respectfully with a smile on his face.Zheng Wenge smoked his cigarette again, leaned there, stretched his legs, and closed his eyes.He was indifferent to Zhao Bo, which made Zhao Bo a little embarrassed. Looking at Zheng Wenge who was indifferent to him, Zhao Bo felt uncomfortable. Zhao Bo whispered after a while: "Cultural Revolution, what's the taste of smoking?" Zheng Wenge gave him a blank look and said, "You'll know if you smoke one yourself." Zhao Bo blushed: "I don't know how to smoke." Zheng Wenge thought, Zhao Bo is really annoying, why would he ask if he doesn't know how to smoke.He opened his eyes, and said to Zhao Bo, "You really want to smoke." In fact, Zhao Bo didn't want to smoke at all, but in order to get close to Zheng Wenge, he said against his will: "I really want to." Zheng Wenge rolled his eyes and said, "Then get one." Zhao Bo took a cigarette tremblingly. When Zheng Wenge saw that someone was imitating him, he immediately got excited.He took out a match and lit a fire for Zhao Bo: "Don't shake your hands, smoking is fun." Zhao Bo choked after taking a puff of cigarettes, and coughed desperately until tears flowed out.He wiped his eyes and said, "It's so spicy!" Zheng Wenge smiled and said, "It's all right, look, you won't choke if you inhale it this way." He showed Zhao Bo a demonstration.Zhao Bo took a puff of the cigarette according to what he said, and he didn't cough anymore. Zhao Bo felt uneasy. He had learned to smoke, and his heart was extremely complicated. Zheng Wenge watched him smoking, patted him on the shoulder, and said to Zhao Bo: "Brother, if there is any fun in the future, I will definitely call you. If you need my help with anything, just say it, no problem. " Zhao Bo was very grateful.He didn't expect to get close to Zheng Wenge so soon. He showed great interest in Zheng Wenge's superficial boldness, so much so that Zhao Bo would like to pat others on the shoulder and say to many people from then on: "Brother, if there is any fun in the future, I will take you there, you If you need my help, just say, I will definitely help you!" It was a complete copy of Zheng Wenge. Zheng Wenge did not regard Zhao Bo as a buddy as he himself said.He felt that Zhao Bo had something he could use.For example, for a period of time, he took a fancy to Zhao Bo's bicycle.He didn't directly ask Zhao Bo for a bicycle, he knew Zhao Bo would come to him. Zhao Bo would come when he was sitting behind the stage smoking a cigarette. He casually threw a cigarette to Zhao Bo and said, "One?" Zhao Bo smiled and said, "Let's get one." Zheng Wenge handed Zhao Bo a cigarette.Zhao Bo didn't look mature at all when he smoked, his fingers trembling while holding the cigarette.An imperceptible smile appeared on the corner of Zheng Wenge's mouth. He knew very well the fear and guilt that Zhao Bo felt when he smoked. He was afraid of being discovered by his teachers and parents. It was the same when I asked him to smoke for the first time.Zheng Wenjie was still in Zhangshu Town at that time, and he couldn't let Zheng Wenjie find out that he was smoking. If Zheng Wenjie found out, then he would be out of luck, and Zheng Wenjie had to punish him severely.Every day when he returns home, he has to clean his teeth several times to prevent Zheng Wenjie from smelling the smoke.Now, Zhao Bo is the same, he has to brush his teeth secretly several times when he gets home, he is afraid that his father, who is the Minister of Armed Forces, will find out, if his father finds out that he smokes, he will smash his ass with a military belt.Zheng Wenge said to Zhao Bo: "Zhao Bo, are you afraid of your father?" Zhao Bo was actually scared to death, but when he was with Zheng Wenjie, he said boldly, "No." Zheng Wenge rolled his eyes Said: "It's good not to be afraid. Zhao Bo, is your bicycle easy to ride?" Zhao Bo said proudly: "Yes, my bicycle is easy to ride." Zheng Wenge stopped talking, and he breathed out smoke rings. Like thinking about something.Zhao Bo seemed to understand something in his heart: "Cultural Revolution, if you want to ride my bike, let me ride it for you." Zheng Wenge rode Zhao Bo's bicycle as if it were his own.Sometimes Zhao Bo lent his bicycle to other classmates, and Zheng Wenge would get angry.He would not threaten to tell the townspeople to beat Zhao Bo, because Zhao Bo's father was the Minister of Armed Forces, and they still dared not touch him.They also knew that some people were inviolable, but Zheng Wenge would say, "Mr. Liu Jingao didn't know about your smoking." Zhao Bo's expression changed. Often taking Zhao Bo's bicycles as his own was Zheng's first step in the Cultural Revolution to take advantage of Zhao Bo.He still has a second step, a third step. In the second step, Zheng Wenge was about to scrape off Zhao Bo's body.He knew that Zhao Bo's pocket money was the most in the class, and some people didn't have any pocket money at all, such as the four-eyed dog, Big Dog. Zheng Wenge didn't want to take any oil from Zhao Bo, but he looked cheap He always moved to his side, and he made up his mind. That afternoon, after the second class, he pulled Zhao Bo aside and said, "Zhao Bo, do you want to see something exciting?" Zhao Bo became emotional: "What exciting thing?" Zheng Wenge said: "Don't ask me first, just tell me if you want to." Zhao Bo said, "I definitely do." "Well, I'll take you there." Zheng Wenge said.They rode their bicycles towards the river beach. Zheng Wenge was very strong, and he took Zhao Bo with him. Zhao Bo's heart was beating "plop plop", he didn't know where this bad boy Zheng Wenge would take him.Zheng Wenge took Zhao Bo to the wild awn field on the river beach.Zhao Bo and Zheng Wenge pushed their bicycles into the wild mang field.Zheng Wenge blew a sharp whistle, and a sharp whistle came from the field of wild awns.Zheng Wenge took Zhao Bo and pushed his bicycle towards the direction of the whistle. Zhao Bo saw such a scene, a few young people gathered together, playing cards there, all of them had cigarettes in their mouths, and some loose change of 50 cents or 1 yuan was placed in front of them.It turned out they were gambling.Zhao Bo was stunned, and said to Zheng Wenge, "Let's go." Zheng Wenge said, "What's the rush? Let's watch for a while, and no one will die." Zhao Bo had to squat down with Zheng Wenge to watch them Play.After a while, Zheng Wenge replaced You Nanshui. Zheng Wenge picked up the two cards given to him by the dealer and slowly unfolded them. He unfolded them. One was two of hearts and the other was three of spades. Throwing away the card very boringly: "5 o'clock." Zheng Wenge took out a dollar and threw it to the dealer helplessly. The dealer gave 20 points, take all! Zhao Bo sat next to Zheng Wenge, and he watched Zheng Wenge and the others gamble in horror. Zheng Wenge frowned, and slowly unfolded two more yellow cards. He shouted excitedly: "20 points, take all!" He threw a 10 of hearts and a 10 of clubs on the ground.Sure enough, he put the three yuan money into his pocket at once. Zhao Bo was very surprised. Zheng Wenge didn't put the money clearly in front of him like those three people, but put it in his pocket.For the next few rounds, Zheng Wenge was at 20 points, which went very smoothly, and he took all of them.Zheng Wenge looked back at Zhao Bo: "Zhao Bo, play two games." Zhao Bo blushed and said, "If you don't play, don't play." You Nanshui said next to him: "Play, you won't die." Bo still said, "Don't play, don't play." In fact, he was very contradictory. At first he was afraid, but after watching Zheng Wenge win money, he felt exciting and his hands were itchy, but he couldn't make up his mind.Zheng Wenge said, "Zhao Bo, just play, okay?" You Nanshui said, "Zhao Bo, don't be twitchy like a woman, just play!" You Nanshui pushed Zheng Wenge away , and pushed Zhao Bo to the seat where Zheng Wenge had sat. Zhao Bo thought: "Just play a few games, and never play again!" He knows that gambling is not good, but at this time he has no way to refuse.He said to Zheng Wenge, "Zheng Wenge, I didn't bring any money today." Zheng Wenge said generously, "It's okay, I'll lend it to you." Then, Zheng Wenge took out five yuan and handed it to Zhao Bo.It was five badly crumpled 1-yuan bills.Zhao Bo took the money. Zhao Bo boldly said: "Then let's play." When he said this, he lacked confidence.He thought that if his father found out about his smoking and gambling, he would shoot himself dead.But as soon as he changed his mind, Zheng Wenge would not tell his father. Zheng Wenge was so loyal, so he should be fine. He started gambling with a hint of luck. Zhao Bo's first card is 20 points, take it all!He was so excited that interest came right away. Play until the sun goes down. The strange thing is that since Zhao Bo came up, his luck has been very good. He has always won, and he won almost 20 yuan at once.Zhao Bo was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear, and quickly said that he wanted to treat him.They left the white wild awn field and walked up the river bank.Zheng Wenge got on the bike and asked Zhao Bo to get on it. As soon as Zhao Bo got on, he heard a "thud" and the rear tire blew out. Zhao Bo looked at Zheng Wenge, Zheng Wenge looked at Zhao Bo, and they both burst out laughing. Zheng Wenge picked up his bicycle and walked towards the bicycle repair place in the town. From then on, Zheng Wenge often took Zhao Bo to play 20 o'clock in the field.Since then, Zhao Bo has never won again, almost every game he loses, the more he loses, the more he wants to make money, and the more he wants to make money, the more he loses.Zhao Bo had already fallen into a quagmire, and he was getting deeper and deeper, almost unable to pull out. If it weren't for Mr. Liu Jingao, he would have crippled a person. Teacher Liu Jingao noticed Zhao Bo's abnormal behavior. He found that Zhao Bo was either listless in class, or drew poker cards on the textbook, and his energy was not concentrated at all.Zhao Bo's academic performance has also dropped sharply. High school is a key school age group. Whether you can enter a higher school or make a difference in the future, you must overcome this difficulty in a down-to-earth manner, and you are not allowed to relax. Yes, once you relax, you will never make up for it, and it may cause lifelong regrets. Liu Jingao always talked to Zhao Bo alone several times, but Zhao Bo didn't say anything, he was still the same, and there was no progress.He also knew that Zhao Bo was always with Zheng Wenge recently.Zheng Wenge and Liu Jingao won't care about him anymore, and Liu Jingao can't control him either, so let him go.But Zhao Bo is good in nature, he can't watch him sink like this.But he couldn't come up with a better way to convince Zhao Bo.Soon, Zhao Bo himself created an opportunity for Liu Jingao to enlighten him. Zheng Wenge and his gang felt that it was not enough to scrape off Zhao Bo's body.One night, Zheng Wenge, You Nanshui, and Song Jianshe were squatting on a street corner discussing something, Zheng Wenge said: "Yes, let him do it, it's fine if you catch him, his father is the Minister of Armed Forces. You Nanshui said, "Will he do it?" Song Jianshe said, "Cultural Revolution, if you scare him, he will definitely do it." Zheng Wenge said, "I'll go find him." You Nanshui said : "Today is too late, he won't come out, tomorrow." Song Jianshe said: "Then tomorrow." Zheng Wenge said: "Song Jianshe, you go and prepare a pack of rat poison." Song Jianshe said: "Why do you want rat poison?" Zheng Wenge said, "You will find out tomorrow night." They agreed that they would gather in the grove outside the tea fruit field tomorrow night.A dog sniffed at them, and the dog thought the three of them were squatting there to shit, so it came over.Zheng Wenge said: "Hit!" Each of them picked up a stone and threw it at the uninterested dog.The dog barked wildly after being hit, and fled in a hurry with one leg limping and its tail between its legs. The three of them laughed out loud.Hearing their laughter, a girl who was walking by them started to run. The next night, Zheng Wenge, You Nanshui, and Song Jianshe arrived in the small forest early.In the distance, Zhangshu Town Middle School is brightly lit, and the students are studying in the classroom at night.It should be said that the learning atmosphere in Zhangshu Town Middle School is good. The Hakka people have a tradition that no matter how hard it is, they must train their children to study.They couldn't read it, and they couldn't help it.Like Zheng Wenge, even if you tie him up in the classroom all day long, he can't sit still. "Why haven't you come yet?" You Nanshui said anxiously. "That's right, will this kid not come?" Song Jianshe muttered, holding a plastic snakeskin bag in his hand, the kind of big plastic bag used to hold urea. "Will Zhao Bo not come?" You Nanshui said, and he stabbed Zheng Wenge.Under the moonlight, Zheng Wenge's eyes had a kind of brilliance: "He dare not come!" Song Jianshe said, "What if he doesn't come?" Zheng Wenge said, "If he doesn't come, I'll do it!" After a while, they heard bicycle bells. "Here we come!" Zheng Wenge said excitedly. Zheng Wenge took Zhao Bo's bicycle by the end and said, "Why didn't you listen when I told you not to ride?" After a while, I rushed over as soon as he finished speaking, and I came here by bicycle because I was afraid that you would be in a hurry." "Okay, lock the bicycle here." Zheng Wenge said. "Won't someone steal it?" Zhao Bo was a little worried. Zheng Wenge said: "You know who we are, who dares to steal from us!" Zhao Bo stopped talking.There are various insects in the woods.Zhao Bo was upset. He didn't want to come, but Zheng Wenge's words forced him to come: "Mr. Liu doesn't know about your smoking and gambling." Looking at Zheng Wenge's gloomy eyes, He knew that he had sent himself to the wolf's den. In fact, he had realized something a long time ago. He wanted to stop interacting with Zheng Wenge. He knew that going on like this would not be beneficial, but he couldn't help himself.He was afraid of Zheng Wenge and the others. These guys could do anything. "Let's get started!" Zheng Wenge said. They groped towards an orange orchard in the tea fruit farm.This is the season when oranges are ripe, and the golden oranges are hanging on the branches, how attractive they are.This orchard is the painstaking effort of Pu Weihong's father, Pu Zhonghua, and he carefully cultivated fine varieties of citrus.He named this citrus "Dongfanghong No. 1". "Dongfanghong No. 1" made Zheng Wenge feel bad for a long time. He, You Nanshui and Song Jianshe had been calculating how to steal his oranges from a large plastic bag. Zheng Wenge said to Song Jianshe, "Where's the rat poison?" Song Jianshe handed Zheng Wenge a small packet of rat poison.Zheng Wenge took out a steamed bun from his trouser pocket, and stuffed rat poison into the steamed bun. They touched a corner far from the lookout post of Chaguochang.Zheng Wenge whispered: "You wait for me here, I will be back in a while." Zheng Wenge touched the lookout post, which was actually a small bamboo building built with bamboo.Zheng Wenge knew that there was a dog under the lookout post, a very big dog, and that dog would bark at the targets entering the orchard even during the day.The dog felt something, it pricked up its ears, and the dog's head looked up majestically at the person.Zheng Wenge gritted his teeth and said, "You are dead." He threw the steamed bun at the big dog.The dog grabbed the steamed bun and ate it three times.Zheng Wenge looked at the big dog, and after a while, it fell down and died on the grass with a "whimper".Zheng Wenge was overjoyed.He groped back to the place where You Nanshui and the others stayed.Zheng Wenge said excitedly: "Solved!" Zheng Wenge opened a hole in the barbed wire, just enough for a person to get in.He said to Zhao Bo: "You are small, you go in and pick the oranges and throw them out. You Nanshui is in charge of observing, and you whistle when there is a situation. Song Jianshe and I are responsible for picking up the oranges Zhao Bo throws out." .” Zhao Bo tremblingly entered the citrus orchard.He didn't think that Zheng Wenge and the others asked him to steal oranges. He regretted it very much, but it was too late to regret it now. The fruit hangs on the tree. 果实在月光下似乎带着一层夜雾的水。看上去湿漉漉的。 赵波手忙脚乱地摘着那桔子，他一串一串地连枝带叶地摘着，然后把桔子扔到外面的草丛里。他不停地摘着扔着，外面的郑文革和宋建设不停地往装尿素的塑料袋子里装桔子。摘了一会儿，赵波感觉到摘了很多了。他跑到铁丝网旁边问：“够了吗？”郑文革低声说：“快去摘，还差的远呢。” 赵波又手忙脚乱地进了桔子园。 赵波每扔出一串桔子，他心里就说一声：“摘够了吧，我受不了啦。” 他感觉到一泡尿憋得难受，他的手脚都在发抖。他想，他再也坚持不下去了。他为什么要来和郑文革他们一起偷桔子，简直是鬼迷心窍。他迷迷糊糊的，脑袋又胀又痛。 他不知摘了多久了，那泡尿实在憋不住了，他撒起尿来，尿还没有撒完，他就被两个摸上来的黑影扑倒在地上，他喊了一声：“不好了！——” 郑文革一听不对，他扛起那袋桔子和游南水、宋建设他们狂奔而去。他们把赵波扔下了，他们知道，赵波是武装部长的儿子，他会没事的。现在，他们是不会管赵波的了。 赵波被两个五大三粗的人扭到了了望哨的竹楼上。 其中一个人踢了赵波一脚：“这家伙够阴的，偷几个桔子吃也没什么大不了的，还把我们的狗给毒死了！” 另一个瘦一点的说：“把这小子送到派出所去关他几天。” 赵波哀求着说：“你们放了我吧。” 胖一点的问他：“为什么要放你？” 赵波一想也对，你偷人家的桔子，被人家抓住了。人家凭什么要放了你呢？赵波满脑子乱嗡嗡的，他觉得自己真是鬼迷心窍，他为什么会被郑文革那小子给迷住呢。他又哀求着说：“你们还是放了我吧！” 瘦一点的说：“你是谁？” 赵波实实在在地说：“我叫赵波，我是公社武装部长的儿子。” 胖一点的说：“哼，你是武装部长的儿子，我还是县委书记的儿子咧，武装部长的儿子还用来偷桔子吗，昨天，我还送来一筐桔子到武装部长家里。” 赵波说：“我真的是武装部长的儿子。” 瘦一点的说：“管你什么蒸的还是煮的，谁相信你，你头上又没刻上，你是武装部长的儿子。” 赵波急坏了：“你们要是不放我，你们就把我送到派出所去吧，派出所的人都认识我，他们经常到我家喝酒。” 胖的说：“你别用派出所的人来压我们，我们又不是吓大的。告诉你吧，我们偏偏不送你到派出所去，我知道，你是樟树镇中学的学生，我们要把你送到学校里去。” 这是赵波最怕的事了。 他们果然把赵波送到了学校校长那里去。那时侯晚自习还没有下课。大家都知道，有一个同学在茶果场偷桔子，被抓住，送到校长那里去了。 蒲卫红最恨去偷桔子的人了。他对大狗说：“会不会是郑文革？” 大狗说：“也许是吧。” 他们没有怀疑赵波，赵波说他家里有时早就回家去了。他们谁也没敢到校长办公室去证实是谁。等他们晚自习下课了，三三两两的回家去时，他们还看到校长办公室的灯还亮着。 大狗和黄春秀一路回家。 他们看到了郑文革和游南水、宋建设他们在一家卖水果的店门口和店主讨价还价。他们和店主争得脸红耳赤，他们和店主之间放着一个塑料袋黄橙橙的桔子。那袋桔子少说也有七十多斤。 他们看黄春秀和大狗走过来了，就停止了争吵。 郑文革对黄春秀说：“秀，放学了？” 黄春秀没有理他。 宋建设一直盯着黄春秀。那时候，樟树镇的居民用上了电灯，街上也有了昏黄的隔好长一段路才有一盏的路灯。 宋建设盯着黄春秀的背影不放，那眼光像是被磁铁吸引住了，怎么也甩不开。 黄春秀的背影的确很美，黄春秀婷婷袅袅的和大狗走了。 宋建设吞了一口口水。 郑文革知道他心里在想什么，他捅了宋建设一下：“别癞蛤蟆想吃天鹅肉了，我表妹什么成色，你又是什么货色！” 宋建设表面上没有说什么，但是他心里说：“郑文革，你等着瞧吧！我一定要把你表妹黄春秀搞到手。” 游南水也不愤地说：“大狗真他妈的有福气，成天和黄春秀在一起。大狗是什么东西，我真想揍他一顿。”但说是说，只要郑文杰和阴郁的成天想报仇的小狗还活着，他就不敢去碰大狗一根毫毛。况且，大狗这两年老实多了，也没和他们发生什么冲突。他犯不着去惹大狗。 那个晚上，刘金高老师送迷茫的赵波回家。他陪赵波到小树林去取自行车，发现那辆自行车没了。赵波伤心极了，后悔极了。刘金高和他并肩走着。 刘金高老师说：“赵波，校长说了，这次就不处理你啦，也替你保密。你一定要争气，不要再跟他们来往了。近朱者赤，近墨者黑，这道理你应该清楚，都是十六七岁的人了，应该有自己的主见了。你看金旺他们多好啊，你应该像他们学习，做个有作为的学生。” 赵波一路上都没有什么话说。 到了公社了，赵波进去了。刘金高老师高大的身躯还站在那里，目送他进去。赵波偶尔一回头，看见了刘金高老师的高大的身影，他心里涌过一阵潮水，眼睛一热，一串泪水滚出了眼眶。 Another day passed. 这天晚上，刘金高老师正在批改学生的作文，赵波敲开了他的门。刘金高老师关切地问他：“赵波，怎么啦？” 赵波低着头说：“我白天里已经和郑文革他们说过了，不再和他们来往了。可刚才，郑文革对我说，在老地方等我，我要不去他们就要报复。我不知怎么办，刘老师。” 刘金高问他：“郑文革呢？” 赵波小声说：“他走了。” 刘金高站起来说：“走，走，去你们的老地方，我和你一起去！” 有刘金高老师和他一起去，赵波充满了信心，但又十分的担心，他们有刀子，不知会不会伤害刘金高老师。赵波怀着这样复杂的心态，带着刘金高老师在月光中走向了那片阴森的小树林。 他们一进小树林，一束手电光着他们的脸上晃过来。 刘金高厉声说：“谁！” 传来一个音恻恻的声音：“赵波，你这个胆小鬼，怎么带着这么一个大人来！” 那是宋建设的声音。 他手上果然拿着一把雪亮的匕首。 还有游南水，他手上也拿着一把雪亮的匕首。 他们把匕首若无其事地在脸上磨蹭着。 赵波害怕极了。 就他们两人，刘金高知道，郑文革肯定躲在小树林子里。他并没有害怕。刘金高对赵波说：“你先回学校里去，我一会儿就回来，保证他们以后再也不会来找你了。” 赵波担心地说：“刘老师——” 刘金高说：“别担心，走吧，回去不要对任何人说，安心的做你的作业吧。” 赵波飞也似的走了。 许多年后，赵波碰到了黄春秀，说起那天晚上的事，他说他一直很负疚，他怎么撇下刘老师自己走了呢，要是刘老师有个三长两短，他会内疚一辈子。 他不知道刘金高老师和他们说了些什么，反正，刘金高老师安然无恙地回来了。后来，赵波才听到刘金高老师的女儿刘小丽说：“我爹从小就是练武出身的。” 从那以后，郑文革他们果然就再也没有找过他们的麻烦。不过，在赵波他爸给他买了一辆崭新的凤凰牌自行车之后，郑文革的眼睛又盯上了他的单车。郑文革对赵波说：“赵波，你的自行车再借我用一个中午如何？”赵波借给他了，郑文革十分高兴，他说：“赵波其实是个挺讲义气的人。”赵波的脸红了。郑文革在那个中午用赵波崭新的凤凰牌自行车教会了表弟骑自行车，黄春洪高兴极了。 赵波还是觉得郑文革身上有种让他着迷的东西，他那旁若无人地吹着口哨走路的样子让赵波记忆着。但是他不敢再和郑文革接近。他知道，那样危险，十分的危险。 这是一种很奇怪的情绪。 茶果场的柑橘收成之后，蒲卫红照例要把全班同学叫到茶果场场部的水泥篮球场上去吃桔子。水泥篮球场上堆了一座小山般的桔子。大狗问蒲卫红说，那有一千多斤吧。蒲卫红笑着说，几百斤会有的。他们也没有过秤，反正每年都堆那么多桔子，每年都只有多不会少。他们一个班有60多个同学，60多个同学在那个星期天吃了一天也没有把那桔子吃完。 蒲卫红为什么会叫全班同学去吃“东方红一号”？ 不知情的以为是蒲卫红请客。其实不是蒲卫红请客，他没有那么多钱买那么多桔子给同学们吃。他父亲浦中华也没有那么大的权利，把这国家财产无偿地让蒲卫红的同学吃掉。蒲中华只不过是茶果场里的一个农艺师，他上面还有场长，副场长，书记，副书记呢。原来，蒲中华是让蒲卫红的同学们来吃种。何谓吃种呢？就是说，蒲中华每年都要培养大量的良种的“东方红一号”，推广种植。要培育柑桔苗，就要有种子，种子就是桔子的籽。他们挑了那么一大堆又大又黄的桔子让同学们吃，同学们把籽留下来就行了。每年农场都要请人来吃种，尽管蒲卫红那么多同学也是吃不完的。农场请人来吃种有一个规定，就是只许吃不许带走。桔子不能带走，籽也不能带走。每年吃完种，同学们走后，蒲卫红还会把大狗、黄春秀、刘扞东几个要好的同学留下来，每人送一竹篓子的桔子让他们在天黑之后悄悄的带回家去，给家里人吃。蒲卫红交待说，让家里人吃完后就把籽留下来交给蒲卫红就行了。因为这柑桔籽是蒲中华的宝贝。 今年照样是在茶果场柑桔收成后的第一个星期天，全班同学都去茶果场的水泥球场上吃种了。今年，两个人没有去，一个是赵波，他偷过茶果场的桔子，没有面子去，怕被那里抓他的工人见到取笑他。另一个没有去的人是郑文革，其实，这小子这些年很少去吃种，蒲卫红也有叫他。蒲卫红对他说：“文革，星期天一块到茶果场里去吃种吧？”郑文革看着蒲卫红，他不明白性格内向而又腼腆的蒲卫红为什么也和“三高”刘小丽那样脸上长满了青春痘，他听坏蛋宋建设说：“脸上长满了青春痘的的人骚！” 按这个逻辑推理的话，那么他们班就数蒲卫红和刘小丽两个人最骚了。可郑文革看不出他们有骚的地方，他们都是挺老实的同学。郑文革故意说：“桔子有什么好吃的，听说吃多了桔子脸上会长疙瘩。”蒲卫红听郑文革说出的这样的话，脸红了，他就没有再叫郑文革了，他知道他是不会去的了。 照样，他们全班同学围在茶果场的水泥球场上吃起了桔子。他们有说有笑的，围了一个大圈。这个日子好像是他们的节日，他们不知道，这个节日明年就不会再有了，永远也不会再有了，因为，明年，他们高中就毕业了。可他们谁也没有意识到这一点，他们欢乐和幸福地吃着桔子，最后，一个一个吃得肚子鼓胀起来，一个一个连站起来的劲都没有了才罢休。中午，茶果场给他们准备了稀饭，他们谁也没有吃，他们在茶果场的果园里玩一会儿，让蒲卫红给他们照了有些像之后，才又坐回到操场上继续吃。蒲卫红有一个老式的海鸥牌相机，是他父亲蒲中华送给他的，据说，蒲中华还年轻的时候是农业大学里的高材生，而且拍得一手好照片，蒲卫红漂亮的女大学生母亲就是给蒲中华拍照拍到的。 下午，他们就很难吃得下了。 他们就坐在那里说说笑笑的。象征性的剥个桔子吃吃。他们也不好意思走，说好了吃一天呢。无论他们吃没吃，农场还很客气地给他们准备了稀饭。蒲卫红讲了父亲拍到母亲的故事时，蒲卫红的话引得同学们嘻嘻哈哈的，这帮樟树镇乡村的花季少年对未来产生了一种朦胧的向往。未来是什么样的，他们一无所知。那个时代的花季少年没有现在的花季少年那么多斑斓的幻想和明确的指向。蒲卫红当时说完父母亲的故事之后，少年们想，这世界上还有如此浪漫的爱情故事。一个同学问蒲卫红：“为红，你以后也拍个对象吧。”蒲卫红的脸发烫了，他不知自己的脸有没有红得像小红旗，但他用目光瞟了一眼脸同样都红扑扑的女同学们，女同学们都在注视着他。 往年，蒲卫红的父亲蒲中华会和他们一起吃种，老是提醒同学们，要慢慢吃，千万不要把籽给咬破了。蒲中华是一个很有风度的中年男子，他个子中等，脸是四方脸，那浓眉像大刀，他还带着一个镶着金边眼镜，那眼镜使得他显得文雅而有风度。同学们在一起议论樟树镇的人谁最有风度的时候，都会一致推选蒲卫红的父亲蒲中华。也有人提刘金高有风度，但被大家的无言否决了。刘金高在他们心中的位置十分重要，远远超过了蒲卫红的父亲蒲中华。但提到风度这个词时，谁心中都有数。大狗说：“刘老师的家庭困难，他一个人的工资要养活一大家人，如果刘老师生活好过的话，他穿上一件新的中山装，头发再梳理一下，那也是蛮有风度的。”大家都赞同大狗的观点。 可今天，颇有风度的蒲中华却没有到场。 大狗问蒲卫红：“你爹呢？” 蒲卫红说：“我爹今天身体不舒服，他老是胃痛，老病根了，我妈说，他在读大学的时候就有胃痛，一直就没有好过。” 大狗说：“你爹今天又胃痛了？” 蒲卫红脸色有些变化：“痛得厉害。” 大狗想起了父亲。父亲的哮喘病那么多年了，现在好多了。原因是小狗这两年老是寄钱回家，大狗给父亲抓了药，调养之后就慢慢见好起来。他又想起了小狗，小狗要不走的话，他也会和同学们一起来吃桔子的，他不知道小狗和郑文杰究竟在什么地方，他们寄钱回来的地址是经常变化的，自从他们走后到现在，过年节的时候回来过，一过完年节又匆匆地走了，好象赶去打仗，又好象赶去捡钞票，外面的世界有多钞票等着他们去捡似的。可大狗知道，他们俩个凭力气吃饭的人是不会有钞票从天上突然飘下来让他们去捡的。大狗渐渐明白小狗和文杰的出走原来都是为了他出人头地。小狗在某种意义上是无私的，他比大狗要早熟。 他们就那样一边吃桔子一边说笑，到了太阳落山。同学们都欢声笑语地踏着霞光回家去了，照例，蒲卫红把大狗、黄春秀、刘扞东几个要好的同学留了下来。刘小丽也留下来了。蒲卫红把他们带到了家里。 一进蒲卫红整洁的家，同学们就闻到了一股香味，像往常一样，蒲卫红的母亲，那个始终把自己打扮得有条有理，头发梳得一尘不染整整齐齐，衣服穿得干干净净的蒲卫红的母亲为他们准备了肉丝炒面。 蒲中华也和他们一起吃。 看得出来，他的胃痛得很厉害，那一小碟肉丝炒面他吃了很久，同学们都吃完了，他还在停停吃吃。 蒲卫红的脸色蜡黄，他用右手使筷子吃炒面，左手捂住胃部，有时用拳头顶住胃部。他今天的话很少，也没有什么谈笑风生风流倜傥的风度。他明显瘦下来了，国字脸上全是骨头。那副镶着金边的眼镜架在他的鼻梁上，总是摇摇欲坠的样子。 蒲卫红的母亲的笑容里隐含着一股忧郁。 基于这种情况，大狗提议早点走。 他们就踏着月色回去了。走时，照例他们一人提了一竹篓的桔子回家。蒲中华没忘了交代他们把桔籽交给蒲卫红带回来，那是他生命中的一部分。 大狗在回家的路上没有说话。 他在想着一个人。 想着一个年轻人，把一棵桔籽种进土壤里然后坐在那土地上，等着桔籽发芽，破土而出，风一遍遍地从他身边刮过，云一片一片地从他头顶飘过。他呵护着那棵幼苗，给他松土，给他施肥。看着他慢慢地长成一棵小树，他又给它剪枝，嫁接，还要给它松土，给他施肥，还要给小树除虫防病，在他干着这一切的时候，风从他身边一遍遍的刮过，云大片大片地从他头顶飘过。他坐在那棵果树下，看着那棵果树开花结果。当他看着一片果园在金黄的收获中苏醒过来时，他的头发已经花白了，风还是从他身边一遍遍地刮过，大片大片的云朵从他的头顶飘过。 大狗的心里飘过一支悠远的歌。 他快到家时，问黄春秀：“秀，你长大了想干什么？” 黄春秀说：“干什么好呢？” 大狗也不知道自己想干什么好，他没想到他考大学时，志愿上填的是：“中文系。”而黄春秀填的是：“物理系”。同样的都是福建师范大学。 过了几天，蒲卫红说：“我妈和我爸到省城去治病了。”蒲卫红的神色很不安。他要大狗和他一起到他家里和他一块住一段日子。大狗答应了他。 他们天天盼望蒲中华回来。 到了入冬后的一天，蒲卫红的母亲回来了，她还是那么利索的打扮。蒲卫红的母亲一进家门，看着蒲卫红和大狗。蒲卫红的母亲手臂上带着黑纱。蒲中华没有回来。风流倜傥风度翩翩的蒲中华从此再也没有回到樟树镇乡村了，蒲卫红的母亲带回了一个盒子，那是装着蒲中华骨灰的盒子。 蒲卫红的母亲搂着蒲卫红，一遍一遍地抚摸着他的头发。 蒲卫红的泪水流了出来。 母亲没有哭。 She said nothing.蒲卫红什么也没说，任凭泪水一串一串的滚落。 大狗也什么话也没有说。 他的泪水也滚落下来。 蒲卫红不久就抽泣起来。 大狗也抽泣起来。 蒲卫红的母亲把大狗也搂了过去，大狗靠在母亲温暖的身上，他大哭起来。 那个晚上，大狗没有回家，本来，他答应过蒲卫红的，等他父母亲一回来，他就回家去。可那个晚上，大狗没有回家。 他和蒲卫红母子一直坐到天亮。 他们听着朔风刮过果园的声音，细碎而悠扬。 黄春秀记得，刘扞东没有上高二就辍学了。刘扞东到大狗家告诉他这个决定时，刘扞东黑乎乎的脸上带着平静的微笑。黄春秀也过来了。 刘扞东平静地说：“下学期，我就不准备去上学了。” 大狗很吃惊。 黄春秀也很吃惊。 大狗焦急地问：“为什么？” 黄春秀也觉得不可思议：“扞东，你疯了！” 刘扞东的眼睛充满了一股火苗：“你们知道，我是在敬老院长大的，我不可能一辈子呆在敬老院里，我以后还要成家立业，我马上就十八岁了，快到自食其力的年龄了。你们也知道，我的学习成绩是全班最差的，我不会读书，连郑文革都比我强，文革就是走了邪路，他其实挺聪明的，他随便读读书都比我强。我大学是考不上的，我想早点自食其力！” 刘扞东说的都是实话。 他们没再说什么。 在刘扞东离开樟树镇乡村去异乡学石匠之前，大狗、黄春秀、刘小丽、蒲卫红他们一起去河滩上的野芒地。他们在那里坐了一整天。他们看着太阳落山后才各自回家。 有一段时间，大狗发现宋建设老是在黄春秀的家门口转悠。大狗不知道这个比他大不了几岁的浪荡青年想干什么。宋建设把头发梳得油光闪亮，还模仿城里人的作派，穿上了牛仔裤。宋建设见到大狗改变了往日的横眉怒目。大狗不理他，宋建设主动和他搭话：“大狗，干什么去呀。”大狗心想：“干什么去关你屁事。”大狗没有理他。 大狗打心眼里讨厌宋建设和游南水他们，同样的也讨厌郑文革。 他们在赶集的时候，老是欺负四乡八邻赶来赴墟的小姑娘。山里姑娘的脸都是红扑扑的，胸脯也是高高的。他们就会刻意地在拥挤的人群中挤来挤去，三个人夹着一个姑娘挤，还动手动脚，山里姑娘也不好张扬，只好吃了哑巴亏说不出口。碰到墟天，山里姑娘们一见到流里流气的郑文革他们，都会躲得远远的，他们怕被他们粘上。 大狗看到他们的这种行径，就会想起自己当初在县城里被人欺负的情景。他走上前对他们3人说：“你们怎么能这样霸道！” 郑文革盯了他一眼：“你是谁呀？怎么狗拿耗子多管闲事！” 大狗就说：“我今天就要管管你们这三只小耗子！” 宋建设和游南水也很火，他们一直认为，大狗和他们各走各的独木桥和阳关道，相安无事。没想到大狗还管起他们的事来了。宋建设恶狠狠地对大狗说：“你别犯神经，明白对你说吧，我们不是怕你，也不是怕郑文杰和小狗，我们看在同住在一条街份上，不想和你过不去，否则，你10个大狗我们也可以把你消灭！” 游南水瞪着眼睛说：“对呀，大狗，你有什么了不起的，有本事你到城里去把刘永寿杀了，给你姐姐报仇呀！” 郑文革哈哈大笑起来。 游南水的话激起了大狗的愤怒，他的血顿时燃烧起来，他扑过去，把游南水摔在了地上，没头没脑地在游南水的头脸上捶打起来。那样子就像武松打虎，不过这个武松并不强壮，而是瘦不拉叽的。 郑文革和宋建设没想到大狗会悴然出手，而且那么狠，简直是不减当年小时候打架的横样。 郑文革和宋建设没有上。
