Chapter 6 Chapter 5 By the River
It is said that a man who is often whipped by a woman will become a sexual pervert, either a sadist or a masochist.Several years later, Yang and I watched the SM video and saw similar scenes, and we were silent to each other.Only then did I understand why I didn't hate her when I received the belt, on the contrary, it was a little sweet. The feeling of being whipped was like a virgin being forcibly opened. Although it was humiliating, it was also quite unique.Zhuangzi said, although you have a heart, don't complain about the floating tiles.That is to say, when a person is unlucky, one can only blame bad luck, but not hate the brick that was slapped on your head.I was too young to comprehend the erotic connotations of this humiliation. That day I squatted on the ground, the hooligans ran away, and then the swimming children also ran away.After a long time, I sat down on the ground and opened my eyes.Yang Yi was still squatting beside me, and there were two bicycles lying alone on the river beach.Surprisingly, Yu Xiaoqi is still there.She stood about ten paces away, looking at me in horror.I pushed Yang Yi, and he pushed my hand away. I said: "Everyone is gone, wake up." He put down his hand, and a bloody bar stretched from his hairline to the center of his eyebrows, perpendicular to the ground, like a martial artist in a Beijing opera.At this time, I realized that there should also be a bloody line on my hot forehead.No wonder Yu Xiaoqi looked at me in such horror. Yu Xiaoqi said, "Does it hurt?" Yang Yi said: "You belong to the gang of female hooligans!" Yu Xiaoqi cried and said, "Don't talk nonsense, I'm not a female hooligan, and I don't even know the person who beat you." "If you don't call his name, can we be beaten?" Yang Yi said. "Then you can't rely on me." Yu Xiaoqi said. Yang Yi turned to me and asked, "Is there blood on my head?" I shook my head and said, "No, just a bloody bar." "The same to you." "Is it straight?" "slanted." "Oh shit." I introduced to Yu Xiaoqi, this is Yang Yi, my buddy, a top student in a key middle school.Introduce Yu Xiaoqi again, this is Yu Xiaoqi, the daughter of my Chinese teacher, the little sister of the art technical school.Yu Xiaoqi said: "Where is my little sister?" Yang Yi said: "You have caught the current situation, and you still don't admit it?" Yu Xiaoqi said: "I just went out to play with Zeng Yuan, and she said to bring me here. Look good, I'm here. How did I expect to be robbed?" I asked, "Who is Zeng Yuan?" Yu Xiaoqi said, "It's the girl with the watermelon knife." I said, "Fuck." Yu Xiaoqi walked up to us and asked cautiously, "How did you offend that woman?" I don't want to talk about it, Shuangcha milk is too obscene, not to mention Yu Xiaoqi is a typical washboard girl, telling her this kind of story, I don't know if it will be mistaken for ridicule.I didn't say it until much later, when she asked about it, when she said, "Yeah, you guys deserve a beating." That day, Yang Yi and I covered our heads, feeling bored, and wanted to go home in disgrace.Yu Xiaoqi said, "You're not going to complain in front of my father, are you?" I said, "Why? Are you afraid of him?" She shook her head and said, "He has a heart attack. If he is scared to death, he will be miserable. Let his wife be a widow as soon as he got married." After she finished speaking, she couldn't help being happy.I looked at her for a long time, and said with a thumbs up, "You are so awesome." We went back to the bikes, found our clothes and shoes, and went into the sentry box to change.I told Yang Yi, this is the girl I had a crush on recently, she looks a bit like Ouyang Hui.Yang Yi said worriedly: "Are you still missing Ouyang Hui?" I said no, I only want Yu Xiaoqi now.Yang Yi said that this is what Freud called a complex, not real love.To his Floyd.After changing clothes and coming out, Yu Xiaoqi smiled.I saw that Yang Yi and I were wearing the summer work clothes of the pesticide factory, a dark purple shirt with suit shorts underneath and flip-flops under the suit shorts.Yu Xiaoqi said, "Why are you like twins?" Yang Yi sighed, and said to me: "This girl is a bit heartless, not quite the same as Ouyang Hui." I told Yang Yi to go home, and Yu Xiaoqi said, "Does it still hurt? Come to my house and apply some medicine." This proposal was good, and only half of the long afternoon passed.It was very hot on the beach and I was starting to feel thirsty.Yu Xiaoqi also said that we would go to drink some Coke together, and for the sake of Yang Yi and I being robbed, she would treat the guests.Yang Yi said: "This place is very barren, and there is a small tobacco store in Hongmei New Village over there." Yu Xiaoqi said: "You are very familiar, you have been to Hongmei New Village. My family lives in Hongmei." We packed up the bicycle, my tire was almost flat, Yang Yi took Yu Xiaoqi.We got on the road and headed south.There was not a single car on the road that afternoon, and the sun was shining on the empty asphalt road, making the road surface sticky from the sun.The weeds on both sides are as high as half a person, and the leaves are covered with dust, and grasshoppers jump out from time to time.Yang rode his bike very fast.I arched my body, pinched my hands between the dragon's head, followed closely behind him, and kept on the same line as Yu Xiaoqi.She sat on the bag rack with her legs slightly crossed, her right hand resting lightly under the bicycle seat.Sometimes she looks up at the sky, sometimes at me. Yang Yi looked very excited that day, his two thin legs were stepping on the pedals like pistons.I said: "Ride slowly, there is a car coming in front of you, and you will fly out." Yang Yi said: "Riding like this, it is windy and cool." Yu Xiaoqi said: "It is quite cool." Yang Yi suddenly Shouting: "Fuck! I'm going to go to the police academy! I'm going to arrest all of you hooligans!" Yu Xiaoqi laughed happily: "Then you ride faster." It's so strange, that road has never been so empty before, and my impression is that the wheels of foreign trucks roared past, rolling up dust like a blizzard, and their horns blew like a scalded cat.It may be because the weather was too hot, there was no car that day, and there was no one in the five-minute journey from the riverside to Hongmei New Village.Everything seems to be designed to let us go crazy. I noticed that Yu Xiaoqi was also wearing a red T-shirt. There was a man's head on the T-shirt, with his mouth pursed and his head raised, staring proudly at the sky.I didn't know at the time that it was Guevara's head. It was a long time after this kind of T-shirt became popular. I thought it was a Hollywood star.Yu Xiaoqi's side profile is pretty, with his nose slightly turned up, and the blood on his lips is very pale.The sun cast a blinding white light on the surrounding landscape. I asked Yu Xiaoqi, "Who is that printed on your clothes?" She said, "You don't even know Guevara? He is the revolutionary leader of Cuba and a close comrade-in-arms of Castro." I know Cuba, I saw it on a map in geography class, and the place was very close to the United States.My former geography teacher used to say that setting up missiles in Cuba could wipe out the United States.That teacher is a bit perverted, always teaching us where to bomb with missiles. Yu Xiaoqi asked me: "What do you think of this dress?" "Looking good," I said, "this Guevara looks awesome." "It's still you who know the goods. This dress was given to me by Zeng Yuan. It's from Hong Kong." When we arrived at Hongmei New Village, it was a small new village in the suburbs, with about a dozen houses, an agricultural machinery factory in front, a large warehouse in the back, and a canal not far away.The houses are very old, made of red bricks, and the outer walls have not been painted.There is a small bamboo shed at the entrance of the new village, which is indeed a tobacco store. We drank three cans of iced Coke in no time.Yu Xiaoqi asked if we still wanted to drink, I nodded, and she bought two more cans.Yang Yi said: "Can you buy us a pack of cigarettes? My cigarettes have also been confiscated." Yu Xiaoqi took out a small wallet from his pocket, counted out a five-yuan note, handed it to Yang Yi, and said, "You Buy it yourself, people in the store will gossip when they see me buying cigarettes." Yang Yi bought a pack of peonies, spared a box of matches, and returned the change to Yu Xiaoqi.We lit up cigarettes, and puffed out the clouds at the gate of the new village with a blunt posture.The old man in the store jokingly said: "Which school do you guys learn to smoke at such an early age?" Yang Yi said: "He is from the Chemical Engineering Technical School, and I am from Daicheng Middle School." The old man pointed to Yang Yi's injured forehead and said: "Fuck, Daizhong is a key middle school, how can you look like a key middle school?" Yang Yi said nonchalantly, "Our school smokes a lot, and I accidentally bumped this wound." Then he took out the school badge from his pocket Show the old man: "Look, I have a school badge." The old man said: "You don't wear it if you have a school badge? What are you doing in your pocket?" Yang Yi said: "Wearing a school badge looks like a fool." The old man said: "My granddaughter Next year I will take the high school entrance exam, so I want to enter Daizhong." Yang Yi said, "That's great, but unfortunately I will graduate next year." The old man shook his head and said, "You're a pity." Yu Xiaoqi said: "I also want to go to high school and go to university. Going to a technical school is really boring." Yang Yi said hypocritically that in fact, high school is meaningless, it’s a pain to die for, and there is no freedom to speak of in a pile of textbooks and reference books every day.If you don’t get into university, you’re dead. If you get into college, you may not be able to survive. Universities are divided into grades. There’s a clear distinction between one and two junior colleges. Even if you get into one, it’s hard to say. In the history department, I will either go to the archives or be a teacher in the future. Some people have studied some kind of radio major. In fact, they are studying sonar and torpedoes. They will have to spend the rest of their lives in submarines. After the shore, the country will not allow this kind of person to run around casually, because his mind is full of military secrets.Yang Yi said: "Computer and medical schools are the most popular science subjects. Program developers and surgeons will be the most lacking in our country in the future." Selling tea eggs is worse than atomic bombs." Yang Yi said: "Do you think those self-employed people can get to the sky? They all came down from the mountains and have no future." Yu Xiaoqi said: "You talked for a long time and then came back. It's better to go to university." Yang Yi said: "Well, if you do well, it's good, if you don't do well, it's not good. What's there to argue about?" Yu Xiaoqi asked, "What university does Yang Yi want to go to?" I said, "He's going to be admitted to Tsinghua University, and he's going to Tsinghua University to find a girlfriend." Yu Xiaoqi said seriously: "That's amazing." Yang Yi felt a little embarrassed, and said coyly: "Actually, Tsinghua University doesn't have any beauties, and even if there were beauties, they were taken over by those high-ranking boys." I said, "That's similar to our chemical engineering school. All the beauties in our school were snatched away by the student cadres, one for each person, and two for the president of the student union, and left some garbage for us." Yu Xiaoqi said: "Your words are really ugly, why are other girls turned into trash?" I said, "I'm wrong, but I'm actually the trash myself." Later, Yang Yi said that it was too hot to squat outside like this, even though there was shade from the trees, he still couldn't stand it.Yu Xiaoqi said: "I'm confused too. I was just thinking about rubbing red potion on you. Come with me." She walked forward with a Coke can, bypassed the flower bed, and took a big turn along the shade of the tree. Turn and walk into a house.This is an old-fashioned public house with one staircase and four households. The corridor is very dark, piled with miscellaneous boxes and baskets, and bicycles are locked on the handrail of the stairs.Yu Xiaoqi said in a low voice: "The fourth floor of my house, please keep your voice down, this building is full of old ladies with bad mouths, they will tell my mother." Yang Yi also said in a low voice: "It's the same in our building, retired old ladies They are all squatting downstairs to stand guard." Yu Xiaoqi said: "It's too hot today, they all hide in the house, and they are usually downstairs." When passing the second floor, she motioned us to bend over, from Drilled under the windows of a house.She whispered: "This old lady is the worst. She always likes to chew her tongue in front of my mother." Walking through such a dark corridor, there is a dreamy feeling, and it is not a night dream, but a very light dream when sleeping in the afternoon, like a short swing between consciousness and delirium.When I got to the third floor, I heard the sound of a cat meowing. I looked in the dim light and saw a tabby cat watching us from the corner.The cat's coat color is very strange, with a dark cloud-like pattern floating on the white background, covering the back, it looks like a turtle with a shell.When I got closer, I found that it only had one left ear, and half of the right ear was missing, probably bitten off by its own kind.Yu Xiaoqi called it in a low voice: "Vincent, Vincent." "Why is it called Vincent?" "Vincent Van Gogh, you idiot." Yu Xiaoqi said. "Oh," I remembered, "Van Gogh had one of his ears cut off." "He cut it himself." Yang Yi said, "Van Gogh, like Nietzsche, was mentally ill." I said, "You seem to be a nurse in a psychiatric hospital?" The cat squawked in the corner, Yu Xiaoqi reached out to pat it, and it stretched its neck obediently.I asked Yu Xiaoqi: "Do you have a cat?" Yu Xiaoqi said: "No, it belongs to the old woman downstairs, but it listens to me the most." Pull it out and hold the cat's armpits with both hands.The cat stands before our eyes like a child with too many clothes on.Yu Xiaoqi said: "Vincent, come home with me, I'll give you dried fish." Yang Yi said: "Damn, it's a female cat, why is it called Vincent?" Yu Xiaoqi said: "Then Do you think there are any women who have lost their ears?" Yang Yi shook his head: "No." Yu Xiaoqi's family lives in 403, which is the most common one-bedroom household.After entering, she smelled a faint smell. She said it was acrylic, and she was painting acrylic recently.She put the cat on the ground, and the cat looked like a clay sculpture, and it remained in its original shape.Yu Xiaoqi unpacked a pack of dried fish slices from the table, tore off a piece and threw it to him.The cat didn't even smell it, and just ate it.This cat seems to have been well bred. Yu Xiaoqi said: "I always want to steal Vincent home and raise him." "It's quite obedient and well-raised." Yu Xiaoqi said to the cat: "Why don't you go to the art school with me? Vincent. There are mice in our dormitory." The cat glanced at her and yawned noncommittally. "Are you afraid of mice?" "I'm not afraid, but it's very annoying. The mice in the American school like to eat paint, and they also gnaw on pencils and drawing paper. They are malnourished, so they are very small, and it is very troublesome to catch. Once I used a mouse cage to catch one. Zeng Yuan and I I drew a few sketches of it and fed it a few peanuts as a modeling allowance." "and then?" "Then scald it to death with boiling water. After it's done as a model, it still has to restore its status as a mouse." "The scene must be cruel, right?" "Scream, no mouse dared to come in our dormitory for a week. They thought of an idea, they caught the mouse and tortured it, recorded the scream with a tape recorder, and played it in the dormitory before going to bed at night. The effect was great. , the mice are scared away. But it will be useless after a long time, and the mice are also very smart, knowing that we are scaring them." I went around her house.Her house is small, with old furniture and dim light. The canvas awning on the balcony blocks the scorching light of summer.There is a double bed in the back room with two pillows on it. I heard from Yu Xiaoqi that her mother, my ex-teacher’s wife, never remarried after the divorce.Under the glass of the chest of drawers, I saw a photo of my former teacher's wife. It was a woman with a steamed chicken coop. There was no makeup on her face, and she could vaguely see her youthful beauty.It seems that Lao Ding's aesthetics is still good. It's incredible that such a useless person like him can marry a beautiful woman, and after ten years, he will have a second spring.I continued to look, and there was a photo on the corner of the chest of drawers. The incident made her feel a little relieved. There was an irreparable blankness in her smile. On her left was Yu Xiaoqi. strange look.On the left side of Yu Xiaoqi is an empty figure, which was resolutely twisted by the scissors along the outline of the figure, as empty as a memory before the age of three.I know this person is Lao Ding. In addition to the furniture, there was an easel in the room, wrapped in a blue cloth, the contents of which could not be seen.There are several sketches and watercolors on the wall, all of which are still lifes.When I was visiting the house, Yang Yi couldn't wait to run to the toilet to look in the mirror, and then ran to the kitchen to turn on the faucet, probably washing the wound, groaning, and then he cursed loudly: "Fuck me. , beat me like this." Yu Xiaoqi said: "Oh, my brain, I forgot to rub the red lotion on you again." She asked Yang Yi to sit down first, the scar on Yang Yi's head was heavier than mine, obviously the Shuangcha grandma hated him far more than me.She wrapped a cotton ball with a match, dipped in the red lotion, and gently applied it to Yang Yi's wound.I praised her for her skillful movements, and she said, "You don't know, my mother is a nurse." When applying the medicine, Yang Yi closed his eyes, as if it was very helpful.I was a little upset and asked him deliberately: "Is it comfortable?" Yang Yi closed his eyes and said, "Get lost." After he painted it, I saw that it was really not bad. The bright red stripes looked like some kind of rare bird.Yu Xiaoqi said: "Try to draw better." Yang Yi ran to the bathroom to look in the mirror, and when it was my turn to sit down, Yu Xiaoqi said, "I can't draw yours well, it's oblique." Said: "Draw whatever you want, anyway, it's not the first time I've embarrassed myself in front of you, just be gentle with your hands and feet." She said: "Don't worry about that." I closed my eyes, I felt that this action was really shameless, as if I was enjoying her touch, but since Yang Yi did this all the time, I had no reason to refuse.There was a chill on her forehead, and there was a slight pain, and she felt her fingers moving.She said: "If this belt goes down any further, it will blind your left eye." I said, "My eyes were still swollen a few days ago." 她说:“啧,那次好像也是我闯的祸。” 我说:“那次我心甘情愿的,这次有点冤。” 她说:“疼吗?” 我说:“不疼。” 蝉声从窗外传来,这已经是夏季的尾声了,唯一的那只蝉,还在贪恋着一九九一年的夏季。我一直搞不明白,这么小的一只昆虫,它也能声嘶力竭到这种程度。过了一会儿,它又不叫了,它既享受着自己制造的噪音,也享受着噪音之外的宁静。 于小齐说:“好啦。” 我睁开眼睛,定了定神。 她说:“你不去照照镜子?” 我跑到卫生间门口,门反锁了。我用力敲门,说:“杨一,你他妈的在里面干吗?”杨一瓮声瓮气地说:“我他妈的在小便!”
那天下午,我和杨一从红梅新村出来时,太阳斜到了新村围墙之上,把墙头的玻璃碴子照得熠熠闪光。从粮食仓库那里飞来的野鸟,成群掠过头顶,远处运河里的货船拉响汽笛。时近黄昏,暑意渐消,下班的人三三两两从我们身边经过。 我们跳上自行车,往城里去,骑到水泥桥上,我的自行车后轮彻底没气了,只能下来推着走。那时夕阳已经落在河心,天上一轮,水里一轮,很好看。云霞像岩浆一样,把河水的气势完全压倒。此前游泳的河滩上空无一人。 我说车子没气了,杨一让我坐在他的自行车后面,我扶着自己那辆车子的龙头。进了城,找到一个修车摊,摊主是一个瘸子。就是他了,因为我和杨一身无分文。打完气之后,我们跳上自行车就跑,瘸子大怒,在后面大呼小叫追我们。我操,我从来不知道一个瘸子竟然可以跑那么快,就五分钱的打气费,他矢志不渝地追,还朝我们扔砖头,整块的红砖嗖嗖地从我身边飞过。杨一哈哈大笑,玩了个双脱手,居然还能转过身子,对瘸子喊道:“瘸逼!你去参加奥运会吧!”
