I tried my best to trace the mother kangaroo, but I couldn't remember it. Instead, I thought of a place name: Beicaochang Hutong.This alley is near Xizhimen, and there is a small factory inside.After parting from my cousin, I came here to work as an apprentice.Near its door, that is to say, under the rear window of someone's house, stood a deburring machine.I am very familiar with the inner workings of this machine because I operate it.It is a large drum welded by iron plates. The parts from the stamping machine are sent here with sharp burrs. I pour them into the drum, and then use a big shovel to shovel in some pebbles. It rolls, and pebbles are used to flatten the flying spines. From this process, you can see why I am hated by my neighbors-especially on summer nights, when they sleep with the windows open, but they can’t sleep, they scream and talk about me. ancestors of ancestors.Of course, I'm not a vegetarian either, and I'll do something else besides sarcasm.I caught their cat and put it into the drum with the parts to roll it. After rolling, the cat disappeared, and maybe half of the cat's tail could be found inside the wall of the cylinder.

Later, the family’s child disappeared, so they came to the factory crying to see our rollers—they said that children are much easier to catch than cats; besides, the child often heard the sound of our rollers in the womb. Get stupid and run out before the month; it's easier to get caught.This incident shocked me into a cold sweat.Thank goodness I didn't do it.The child fell into an open cesspit and drowned—unlucky for his parents, but luckily they could be born again so that he could fall into the cesspit and drown again—if the child was left alone , anything can happen.This is how I comfort the parents of dead children. They are very upset and want to beat me up.But the workers in my factory agreed that I was telling the truth, so they stood up to protect me, an honest person.After this incident, the factory leader felt that I could no longer be allowed to stay at the gate of the factory, so he transferred me inside and worked as a mechanic.

Once inside the factory, I met a girl with a pale face, a few bright red pimples, and short athlete's hair.Although the girl is not as good-looking as the woman in white, it must be admitted that there are some similarities between their eyebrows and eyes.She drives a bull planer.This planer is often broken, and I often go to repair it. I disassemble it and reinstall it, and it can work normally for about half an hour; but the whole repair work lasts about four hours, which is not cost-effective; in the end, she also agrees with the machine Not worth fixing anymore.The upper part of this kind of machine tool swayed and carried a planer to plan metal. It often wobbled and stopped. At this time, she raised her leg and kicked it with her foot.After this kick, the planer can continue to move. I passed by, saw this scene, and said casually: "The dog urinates."Then she chased me out and kicked me with her feet.Like the late kung fu master Bruce Lee, she can kick her legs high.But I'm not a planer, and I'm not shutting down...

I suspected that this girl was the mother kangaroo, and she gradually fell in love with me.Once, when I came out of the factory, she caught up with me from behind and stopped me. After searching in the work clothes, she took out a small paper bag, handed it to me and said: I will give you something, and then go away up.I opened the heavily wrapped piece of paper and saw some thick white debris inside, which was a few clipped nails.I guessed, like Solomon, the moral of the gift: nails are part of the body.She wrapped herself in paper and gave it to me, which of course means that she loves me.The next time I saw her, I said, I know about the nails.I should have cut off my ear in return.But I am afraid of pain, forget it.These words drove her into a frenzied state, and she said: You even know the secret of nails, is that okay?I came to snatch the ear right away, but when I got it, I changed my mind and decided not to cut it off and let it continue to grow.
