Chapter 21 1928 Honest Man - In Private School

Jun, can you understand what kind of fun playing truant is? If you can't, it's because the school you were in was doing too well.But maybe that's something you won't play.A person who can't play certainly doesn't have to skip school. After I started school at the age of eight, I learned to play truant until I was about to graduate from elementary school. In the new-style elementary school, although we can go to the playground to play all kinds of games that we like, but the bell, in the hands of the supervisor, yelling and making noise is like the supervisor himself yelling loudly and scaring us. interest.And once in the classroom, if you encounter unpleasant homework, you will suffer!Listen to the homework that you don't like, sit in the back row at the top, or in a secluded place near the pillared door frame, out of the teacher's eyes, pretend to listen to the lecture, and at the same time hold the book up to cover your face and doze off. Restore your energy and recover, and go to make a fuss again when class is over, sir, this is not the worst way.As usual, some subjects in the school should be grateful to the scholars who study children's education, and the compiled books can really make us fall asleep easily, such as geography, history, and scriptures of meditation.But our teachers, who teach these lessons as usual, take for themselves the strictness that all teachers of music and pictures do not have.It seems like God's will that these people were selected to continue the prestige of the old school teachers, especially fierce.All the newly established punishments also seem to be specially prepared for these few subjects.If you don't play truant, what should you do?In the old school, those who played truant were beaten, and those who did not escape were also beaten.Playing truant will only be punished after discovery. If you don't play truant, there will be more than a dozen chances every day to get your teacher's ruler knocked on your head.Jun, please compare, is it better to run away or not to run away?Besides, there are theaters outside the school, baths, fish to catch, and boats to row. If you are not afraid of leg pain, you can go to the market ten miles or eight miles away, and you can eat dog meat.Jun, think about it.In the new-style schools, truancy is only a one-time demerit even if you know it. An empty demerit can not only avoid the trouble of boring homework, but also get the benefit of wanton entertainment. Everyone is happy to play truant!

Going to study in a new elementary school is compared with wandering outside, but playing truant is more cost-effective. It is really unbelievable to say that you can stay in a private school!In the private school, this person did not play truant, studied honestly, recited two and a half pages of "Children's Learning Qionglin" every day, reviewed sixteen new characters in the calligraphy class, and wrote two photocopies. Mr Torture.If the person is not sick, then he is an idiot.A fool does not have to be born, the father can also use some lies to inject into the child's brain, so that he will think of becoming a sage at the age when he should play. Although this person has no disease, the blood in his body has been poisoned .Although there are bad husbands and bad parents who want their son to become a sick celebrity in society, they do not hesitate to use threats and lures to punish their sons, this son can still be unruly, try to leave this influence, and just go outside to wander, This child's heart must be a sound heart!A person under the age of thirteen can go everywhere to find ways to play what he likes. He is completely at a loss for life knowledge and only knows how to develop his own innocence. Knowing the career that he cited as a great interest is the reason for cultivating this kid!People in the past don't understand this. The more children are seen, the more strict their minds are. The stricter the school and family, the more children feel that they want to play.It is not unreasonable for a good child to say that he has all been cultivated through the influence of severe negatives.

I don't need to be taught, it will happen naturally, it's my instinct to play truant.Just thinking about my love of playing truant, I feel that there are many areas that should be reformed in the current education system.For playing truant, I received four or five times more beatings than other children in my environment. This proves that the degree of unruly heart in my childhood was really more fierce than it is now.Even if I get beaten, I can avoid it if I don't play truant, but I always think that it is worthwhile to play for a day.I also have the desire to get lucky, I can play without being beaten, of course I can't do it if I don't play!

You know I'm one of those truant guys, that's it.I don't want you to say how bad the old-style private schools are in sympathy.I never felt that the bad treatment in this private school prevented me from nourishing my soul. I can tell you how I study, how I play truant, and how I play when I escape from school to the streets or fields, and what I get paid when I return home. Jun, let me tell you a part of my school life that I can remember very clearly. First, I was admitted to a school, the husband was a woman, this is not counted as enrolling, it was just because my mother had a sixth brother at the beginning, and by the way, I asked the nanny to take me to accompany my sister to school.Every day I was carried to school from Ximen by some female classmates who were seven or eight years older than me.Once, one of these women, who was tired from climbing the stone steps on the west gate slope, was crying. I still vaguely remember it, but I was at a loss.

I say the one I can remember. This gentleman is one of my uncles.To make it easy for you to understand is to say: the teacher's wife and my mother are two sisters, and the husband's daughter is my cousin.We are all acquaintances!I'm an acquaintance, and it's so easy to discipline, so I came to this elder's house to kowtow and bow to him as a student.Easy to discipline is true.But when the husband is disciplined, he also tends to call his mother and sister for help. This is not what my father thought of. The school is Cangshang, which is the home of Mr.As for the storehouses, there are two in our place, both of which are very large, and all of them are located in Ximen.I still don't know whether this warehouse is Changping warehouse or Tun granary in Biaoli.

But now try to think about it: if it is a Changping warehouse, it should belong to the county, and it should be full of rice and should not be empty; if it belongs to the county, the person in charge of the warehouse should be a policeman wearing a black hat as if shouting for the county magistrate, It should not be a veteran in a uniform.So it is a granary for grain in Biaoli, and it is similar. There are two rows of warehouses, dragged into two lines, leaving a large stone road in the middle.How many warehouses there are in total, I can't remember.Some are pasted with a big "empty" character, and some are locked, and a valley is exposed from the side, these are still very clear.

I said that the school is located in Cangshang, but it is not.The warehouse is still the warehouse, and the school is the yamen that manages the warehouse.Needless to say, the yamen is at the head of these two warehouses!To get to the academy, you should pass in front of this warehouse. As long as the warehouse extends, this road will also extend as long.In the academy, after memorizing the books, with the permission of my husband, go out to play for a while, that is, play on this big stone slab! On this long road, some willows are planted with stones raised up. The willows are like horses in pairs, standing in rows on both sides of the road.

In this long yard, there are rouge flowers, nail grass, and June chrysanthemums in summer. These kinds of flowers and plants are probably all planted by the teacher's mother, because some people don't know, and rashly lose the June chrysanthemums. Hey crickets, when the veteran saw it, he said that the teacher's wife knew that she would scold others. After Qingming, the willow trees are all green, we can no longer go to the city to fly kites after evening school, and the willows in the long courtyard are shaded by the willows so that the sun cannot be seen, and the vicinity of the warehouse becomes our sport. The warehouse is empty underneath. There are wooden feet about three feet high, and the bottom is extremely dry and full of fine sand, so sometimes bold students dare to get under the barn to play.First, there was a person who went to the bottom of the warehouse and said that he saw a rabbit's nest beside the big stone foundation at the bottom of the warehouse, and there were small flower rabbits running around at the bottom of the warehouse, so many people went to the bottom of the warehouse to see the rabbit hole.Rabbits, we often see them outside. Sometimes these rabbits come out to play under the willow roots in the yard, and eat grass next to the flowers and plants planted by veterans, but there is no way to catch them.The barn's feet are so high, and there is this thing's house below, even if you can't go to its house, you can still see its gate.To enter the warehouse, we only need to bow our waists. Naturally, I also played under the warehouse out of curiosity!When my husband was invited to something, I would go out and ask my fourth aunt to let us play for a while before my husband returned to the library.Everyone came to the courtyard to play cat-and-cat game, and the bottom of the barn became the best place.Looking inside from the outside of the warehouse, I can't figure it out, but it's very clear from the inside to the outside.

When you meet a timid person pretending to be a cat, if he dares not go in, he knows that you are behind that warehouse and he can't help you.This warehouse is really a concession! Why is the academy here again?First, it's quiet here; at the same time, my husband did some work in the Yamen, which was related to the warehouse, so he took care of the warehouse for another matter. There are a total of seventeen people who went to study in Cangshang.I am among the seventeen people. I am not a top school but small, and I am the only one with courage.Being bold doesn't mean that you are less afraid of ghosts than others, but that you are the least afraid of Mr.Although according to the teachings of the family, the teacher is respected, I am not disrespectful.If I have been wronged in some matter, I cry in front of my fourth aunt, and when I turn around, I can see my cousin asking my husband to come in. Who can tell if this is not going in and get a slap in the face of my fourth aunt?During the day, everyone can't easily go out to the yard to play except for urinating.There was no one in the yard, so all the rabbits came to walk on the stone road in the yard openly, and some led three or four little black rabbits, just like my nanny led my sixth and eighth brothers to play in the Daping at the entrance of the road. Sample.In order to have a look at this rabbit, or scare these little things once, we often use the excuse of urinating to leave Mr.I do this often on purpose.Mr. seems to know that I am not a solution, but also let me.I don’t know much about rabbits. I suspect that the ears of this thing are the same as Monkey Sun’s “wind ears”: as soon as people leave the room before opening the door, these little things will sneak into their own house, fearing that others will catch it. Ear.We also heard from the veteran that the rabbit didn't hide or be afraid when he saw him and his teacher's wife, because he was acquainted, only us and Mr. were excluded.I didn't believe this at first, but I asked my fourth aunt later, it was true.Some people just hate these rabbits.Seeing this person and hiding from that person doesn't matter, just like a country girl, she is cute and hateful.Although hatred is hatred, after all, I don't have the intention to catch a rabbit and cook it for everyone, so twenty or thirty rabbits and our seventeen students will jointly manage this long road in front of the warehouse.When we were playing, they hid at the hole and stretched out their heads to watch us play, and when we were studying, they ran and jumped outside again.

We have also discussed this matter together: during the day, we play together with the rabbits, but at night, we all go home and never dare to come here to play. Is this group of rabbits afraid of something? Even in groups, they dare not come out to look at the moon again?That's all I don't know. There was no dog in the barn, and the outside dog was not allowed in. The veteran said it was so as not to frighten the rabbit.Probably we will not be frightened by Mr., this is firmly believed by the elders in the family, otherwise why would we want Mr.? For the sake of clarity, the order of our reading can be made a table.The list should be as follows: Morning - memorize warm books, write, read new books, memorize new books, order new books - after school and eat breakfast - write big and small characters, read books, memorize all the warm books you have read, click new books Books—afternoon and afternoon—reading, memorizing, pointing out, lecturing, handing out characters and literacy—the order of free school, which I should abide by.For students who are too big or too small, they should be slightly changed because of the difference in their studies.But there is another thing that should be observed beyond the appearance, which is to bow to the tablet of the master and to the husband when coming, and to do the same when leaving.When I got home, although my husband said that I should give my parents a bow, my parents refused.There is a class of lectures every day, which is originally prepared for those college students, but because my mother at home listens to lectures every night, I also add a class in the library.It seems that I have more homework than people of my age, and I am not less in the mood to play than others, so it is hard for me!

In this warehouse, I studied every day according to the schedule I made for a year and a half until I was ten years old. "Children's Learning Qionglin" has already been read, and "Mencius" has been read, and I have read three more books. But what have I learned in the past two years in the academy?I really don't want to do this child prodigy career if I let my uncle praise him in front of my father in the name of Mr.My father also seemed to have noticed the pain of me playing truant while being hailed as a child prodigy. Knowing that it was hopeless for me to succeed in my studies and that I would have to change my career after all, he took me back from the school in a fit of anger and ignored me.On the one hand, my father ignored me because he went out, and since my father went out and let my mother control me, I went to the new No. 2 County Primary School. If I don't skip school, maybe I can still play on that warehouse for two or three years.God knows what kind of person I will become if I go to that kind of school again! Child prodigies are really child prodigies in some respects. When I came to this school, I didn't need my husband to tell me, but I learned countless things about little ruffians.Although I didn't learn to swim until I was twelve years old, in this school, I learned how to hide the blister marks on my feet after taking a bath to deceive the family and save it for future use.I learned to climb trees, I learned to fish... I learned to play truant, to do these entertainments that benefit my body and mind and give me useful experience. This is not what my husband expected, but it is really the knowledge that private schools can give me! I also know a kind of poison crossbow for killing tigers, which is a kind of useful knowledge that the veteran who was as innocent as a rabbit told me.It's a pity that there is no place where there is a tiger for me to set up a crossbow and shoot at its feet, otherwise I can get honors that you can't imagine in this career! I played truant from school because I studied with my uncle for about half a year.Because I saw that he dealt with people who were free to play outside for a day, and those who played truant moved the bench to come to Confucius and spanked twenty boards. I thought it was a good deal, and I was determined to do it.I watched the wooden puppet show on the school grounds all day.According to the usual time after school, I ran back home. At this time, my family was just about to eat, and it was obvious that I came home a little late, but my face was red. When it's time to eat, I think about the drama in the day, and think about the wording of the meeting with the husband at the school tomorrow, so I can't eat a bowl less. "I was fined today, I guess it is!" My aunt thought she guessed right, and she immediately felt pity for me, saying yes: "Tomorrow I will go to my fourth aunt to sue my fourth aunt, and ask my uncle to be more relaxed about you. " "My God, I can't open my mouth to scold you!" I said something for her, which aroused my conscience, and I hated this person's attention to me.Who do I want to ask Mr. for my insurance?I cannot say that I was not afflicted by undue punishment, namely, going to bed early. When I arrived at school the next day, "the boat didn't capsize".When I asked why I was late for school for a day, I said that my family had invited guests.Treating guests means leaving school. This has become an example. I used this lie to block Mr. for the first time. I feel lucky to return to my position.Even among my classmates, no one expected that I would also skip school for a day. When school was over, they went home together with a streetmate named Hua Can.This person is five years older than me, full of ghosts.He often said that if he became a teacher, everyone would have to prepare one ruler; but he also thought that he should prepare two more! In other people's drawers, after a search, he did not dare to store crickets in ink boxes, but he had at least two crickets in bamboo baskets for books.We had early school, and the time was very early, and the rule was set that whoever arrived early would recite the book first and go home first, so everyone strived to come to school early.Come to school early, is it to study hard?Not at all.Arrive at the warehouse early, before dawn, if you walk through the aisle of that warehouse, you will be beaten to death by ghosts!Still waiting after going out is not what the husband expected.That's how we are today. "Hua Can, it's early, how do you play?" "Watch the chickens fight." I said "Okay", so we circled around Yuecheng and passed Ximen Slope. After school, it's still early, so I don't want to play anymore, but when I go home, I will play truant because of my family's suspicion. It was this big clever Huacan who told me.Thanks to him, there are many other things for him to guide me to do.It's not time to eat at this time. When I get home, I'm not as free as I am on the street. I really shouldn't be busy going home. Here we don't have to watch the chickens fight, but we can also go to a fun and interesting place with our book baskets to have fun!There are three busiest times of the day in this town, and this time before breakfast was especially to our liking.When you go to the Town God's Temple to watch quail fighting, although you can't crowd to watch it, it's interesting to watch the bird fly and the loser's face when no matter who releases the defeated bird to fly away!Otherwise, going to the school grounds to watch people practice rattan cards, and the scene of chopping and fighting with real knives and guns is much more moving than watching a theater.If the road is not too far away, we can go around the side street of the south gate and see if the newly carved Bodhisattva in the carpenter's shop is covered with gold.Walking along the side street, you can also see the cast plowshares. Use a large clay pot to melt steel into water. After pouring this white molten steel into a model covered with black smoke, it will become a model after a while. a plow.Look at forging iron, pig iron and hammer holders, regardless of the ten winters and twelfth lunar months, are all bare-shouldered, dancing the hammer weighing more than ten catties to hit the iron on the anvil as if they were drunk.When the iron was first taken out of the furnace, there was no need to hit it with a hammer, but it made a squeaking sound, but when it was hit by a hammer, it scattered flying flowers, which made people scared and strange.Jun, this doesn’t count, it’s still there.There are many places we can linger in this city circle. If I were a child for a lifetime, I would never get bored of these things in my life! If you are greedy and rich, the place at the gate of the road can accommodate you for the rest of your life. Oranges, peanuts, pears, pomelo, potatoes, this does not count!Isn't the cheap and fragrant beef stew the most delicious thing?Use this beef dipped in salt water and spicy peppers, and eat it together with rice noodles. The famous beef Zhang is here.Pig intestines are stuffed with glutinous rice, cut into slices, fried in oil, and you can swallow them even with your tongue.Yang Nusan's pig's blood twisted strips, the people sitting at the east gate come here to eat a bowl, isn't it up to your appetite?He doesn't solicit business from you at the beef stall, but if you pass by that stall, please cover your nose, otherwise you will be tempted by the smell.The Wan'er Cake sold all over the city has its headquarters in Luxi, and it will seduce your mouth with its colors—it's too much to say anyway!If I have a chance in the future, I will use another 50,000 words to add a brief introduction to the flavor of pickled lettuce sold by a woman named Bao in our place. If you use 50,000 words to describe the lettuce, you can ask our place. Man, it's really simple! Here I will talk about how we get to the cockfighting ring we are going to. Before we got there, we first had to go to a place, which was the yamen where the county magistrate tried cases.There are tall wooden cages for people standing in front of the yamen, which is insignificant.After the yamen is a noodle shop.I thought the noodle shop was much better than the school!In the morning, the noodle shop is mostly rushing for noodles. A master chef with a green handkerchief on his head and flour all over his face is riding on a large wooden bar to crush the dough, and then he cuts and peels the dough quickly with a big and wide knife. Turning around, it became our afternoon noodles, strange!The noodle restaurant used to be the Baohua Silver Building. When it was being fired, on the platform, a lamp topped with a hundred lamp grasses was burning interestingly and majestically. At the same time, you could see a short fat silversmith, The small tube is held in the mouth like a whistle, and the flame of the fire is pressed with air, but it cannot be blown out, and the flame of the fire turns around and shoots at a piece of wood. This is a very strange method of melting silver.There are also engraved words, engraved on wood, do not write reversed characters at all, put a small leather circle on the big finger, and use that circle to stroke the back of the knife.Who knows where he learned this weird trick. When we arrived at the cockfighting arena, everyone gathered around a three-foot-high bamboo circle, watching the desperate roosters in the circle.Surrounded by dense crowds, there are no gaps or cracks between people.Even the top of the nearby stone lions were completely taken over.Obviously can't see it.But we can watch other funny things.We also know everything from the price that others shouted to raise. Near the chicken farm, there are chicken cages of various heights woven from bamboo. Some cages are covered with green cloth, so it can be concluded that there are burly soldiers among them.When other people come to find their opponents for the next contest, we can see the color of this chicken.There is also the chicken, which has just lost the battle, and is dozing in a daze with its blood-stained head hanging down.There are also chickens, which have accumulated strength and want to fight.Unable to bear it, he dragged his throat and screamed. There are also powerless and unwilling "cows" who are more interesting, with dirty schoolbags under their sides, or broken book baskets, and there are two spots of ink on their faces or traces of yellow nose fluid.These "cows" are too concerned about the war in the circle, they go around the circle in twos and threes, just wanting to squeeze in under the legs of a big man.If he was unsuccessful, he was caught once or twice on the head, and then squinted at the person who grabbed him and touched him, making a look of anger, and then comforted himself and said to his companion, go, go, I have seen it, there are no chickens here. If you can slip your head and fight to death, it's better to go over there and see the taste of broken rice field eels! That's how we came to the place where the eels were broken. Live eels, like snakes, crowded around in buckets full of buckets, and there were people of all sizes who gathered around the bucket to appreciate the little snake. The man who broke the eel is short and has a beard all over his lower neck. He once helped my family, his name is Yanbao. Although ricefield eels don't smell and bite people, they are so greasy that people can't catch them, so they are considered a nuisance.Yanbao, on the other hand, just put his hand into the basin, and he always caught one.Seeing which part of the eel he was stuck on, he knocked hard on the side of the basin, and the eel was in his hands in a regular manner and no longer moved. On a thin board, the eel was lying on the board and asked him to scratch his stomach with a knife, deboned him, and cut him into inch-by-inch pieces and put them in a bowl, without screaming, screaming, or slipping. , so people can't help but admire Iwaho's martial arts! "Look, look, this thing can still move." Every time Hua Can discovers these things.The tail of the eel, the backbone of the eel, is indeed free to bend after being scraped off.But to be honest, I always thought it was dirty, weird and insignificant! I said, "What's the coincidence?" "What a coincidence? Look at me," he picked up a tail with his hand, and went to feed another child beside him. "Hua Can, it's a scandal for you to bully people like this!" I said, and I dragged him again, because I knew the child who was tricked. He doesn't listen to me.The child refused with his hands, and his hands were stained with eel's blood.The child scolded. "Curse? If you scold again, you will be given a little blood!" "Others don't mess with you!" The child was helpless, and succumbed to his power. Hua Can saw that he had won the battle, so he went to Zou Kai, and I followed. "If you ask him to taste it, he will curse! I won't just give him a slap just because he is small." I said, I will avenge people in the future.From then on, I hated Huacan in my heart and despised him. If there is such a person who wants to study the situation of children playing truant, and when they are most fond of truant, I can contribute some materials from him, based on my personal situation and the situation in my place. In spring, summer, autumn and winter, spring is the most likely to cause the desire to play truant.The rest are handed down in the order of the seasons without error. I love playing truant in spring, partly because I went to school at the beginning of the year, my heart is wild and unruly; partly because I can fly kites in spring, and the public can go to the mountains to fold flowers together.When it comes to playing, it should be summer, because in this season, you can take a bath, go fishing, go to the theater, catch crickets, go to the market, and go to sleep under the big tree on the mountain or by the temple gate.But because of the heat, it is easy to skip school for a day, and because of the heat, school is over early, so skipping school is unnecessary, so you can skip school less than in spring.In autumn, there is half a month or one month of rice harvesting leave, and there is no school.In winter, it's cold, and there are few things to play outside, and school is about to end, so naturally, compared with autumn, I will suffer less scolding for playing truant. The first time I skipped school to watch a play was in April.Second time again.The second time was not to watch a play, but the two of them went to Changning Post, which was about twelve miles away.However, just because of showing his feet, after being punished on both sides, he carefully compared it with all the fun of the day, and the balance fell to the back. He thought it was worth playing truant, so he simply played truant. Go to the city for twelve miles, or eight miles, a village that gathers every 16 or 2 days. It is the second busiest village in the attached city. You often go out of the north gate and walk along the river, but you can walk five miles near the city by jumping stones. The place called Dixi, then cross the Dixi and jump the stone.After jumping over the stone, you have to walk along the river again.Walking around, you will finally walk into a small Shizhai gate and reach the post.The place to go to the market is again in the stockade, a little farther away. Here, to be honest, I can borrow a short article to explain all the situations on the scene, that is, the "Market" I wrote in another season. But this is not a description of the truth.In fact, how can we say all the details?For example, the rainbow, this thing shines in everyone's eyes, it is gentle, beautiful, near, and far away; but a thousand poets gather together to write a poem about the rainbow, and the rainbow is still more powerful than all the poems. Everything and more! Let's just talk about the boats moored by the river bank.The boats are as small as a knife, lying long and narrow on the water, in a row, in a string, crowded next to each other, with their heads against the shore, just like a team of soldiers.Jun, this is a motley team of different ages, clothes and guns even though they are the same size!Some are gray, some are yellow, and some are as white as a green onion.Some have their heads cut off and made into a square shape, and they are shamelessly mixed in the middle.We count these boats with great interest, but the results are always different.Distinguishing people from urban and rural areas begins with clothes, and the same method is used when looking at boats; however, please reverse the conclusion you get. "The clothes that are fashionable and beautiful are people who live in the city. Even if you wear silk and satin, you are not refined. You are a country bumpkin." This is quite true.The beautiful boats here are owned by the Shanghe Miao people alone.The pole oars are particularly exquisite, and the hull is particularly elegant, which is beyond the reach of people in the city! Believe me, on these small boats, I can meet many of the chiefs and chiefs' daughters we are talking about! The field here is located in the area of ​​the Miao people. This river goes up to the place where the oldest ethnic group in China lives.Going up the river again, once you reach the Wuchao River, there are all Miao people.The leader of the Miao people came to trade with our local people, this is a very suitable place. They and his daughter came to this place to sell cattle, sheep and tobacco, and returned in exchange for salt and rock sugar. A minority of the 100 percent ride horses, and 70 percent walk.The remaining 30 minutes or so are all dependent on those who come and go in the small boat.Even now, it will not change much.When I was older, I knew that Miao Guan's daughter was good-looking, and there was no other place except this river wharf. In addition to the boat, there are small rafts floating on the water.Similar to rafts, there are also bamboo rafts.Compared with boats, rafts occupy a wider area and seem to carry more cargo.Please think about it, a raft that floats on the water and is made of vines tied up on the mountain, and the people sitting on it are all a kind of Miao people. They have earrings with the size of rice bowls, and the clothes they wear are brocade woven from cocoons of wild silkworms. The skirts are decorated with silver bubbles (like the armor of ordinary soldiers), and they have big feet. Straw shoes made of straw.When the male Miao Bing and Miao Yong supported the raft with long blue bamboos, the princesses and princesses sang sharply.Jun, what a moving painting this is!It is true that people have different ideas according to their age, but this kind of charming, barbaric, and unique situation, I believe, until I am old, I can still have the excitement of childhood when I meet it!It was a miracle in a dream to see the raft moving! We can still sit on that raft!A Miao chief, he treats Han people who are more respectable to teenagers, and he is fifty times as kind as Mr. Private School.His majesty and dignity are not like ordinary people applying to children.As long as you are lively, he will invite you to use his own smoking pipe (needless to say, we don’t need this), and invite you to eat the big raw sweet potatoes, sugar cane, and pears grown by the princess in his field, completely treating you as a guest Treat it as you like!If there is a little chief, you can go to this little chief to identify with Lao Geng.I suspect that the kindness and hospitality of all the teachers must be taken away by this kind of people, so Mr. Shuzhong is so terrible. You can see all the pigs, calves, lambs and dogs from the livestock farm here.Others are transported to the shore by raft near the pier to sell, and most of the buyers rely on such small boats to transport them back. There is no time to get tired of looking at all kinds of beautiful dogs and cattle! And on the livestock farm, when others are buying cattle or sheep, there is a broker wearing big horn glasses. If you don’t buy a cow, you can’t turn its small horns at will, let alone ride it.When the calf and lamb are bought by a little chief and brought to the river, you go to negotiate with him, saying that you have to try the temper of the newly bought cow, you can rub it, you can play with it. . And do you want to cross the river to play in the temple on the opposite bank?If you want to, then you have to take a boat from this pier.There are dogs in the temple across the river, so don’t go there. You can see them all here.Playing on this bank, you can see the waterwheels facing the river. The big ones are as big as ten beds of sun-drying mats, and the small ones always look like four beds.This water wheel, when you go to him, if you don't pay attention, it will sprinkle water all over your body!The car is excited by the water, and it can also bark, and it is used to divert the water to irrigate the fields. We come to this field, honestly, just stay here, we can live a day.But his companion is the young owner of Wu Sanyi's shop who is in the tobacco business. He was afraid that if he stayed here for too long, he would meet a gentleman who bought tobacco in his shop, so he left the ship. "Go, go eat dog meat!" said Wu Shaoyi, who was four years older than me. "Success," the other one here is his younger brother, Wu Xiaoyi. What can I do if I eat dog meat?As a young boss, the snack money I get every day is more than three times more than what I deserve. What's more, the appointment is to rush to the market, and this brother Gao Ming even stole twenty copper coins.We went to the dog meat yard. It's not a shame not to drink alcohol when eating dog meat.But it usually works like this: you have to roll the dog meat cut into small pieces with chopsticks in the salted hot pepper, and at the same time pick up the soil seedling bowl to sip the bun. The elder Shaoyi knew this scripture, so he said that everyone should at least drink a drink or two.admitted.He admitted that the result was blushing and dizzy. When I was about fourteen years old, when I served as a soldier in Huaihua, Dongxiang, Yuanzhou, I understood the true taste of eating dog meat and drinking alcohol, and some of my peers regarded themselves as Fan Kuai.Jun, you have never skipped school, so of course you have never understood the taste of playing hookey to eat dog meat in the countryside! Just a drink or two and I can't take care of myself.This is the first time for me to drink.Since everyone looked a little flustered, they dragged their hands to the chicken farm to look at the chickens.The three of them played around in the chicken farm, squatting here and there, and they all thought it was very good.Most of the chicken sellers are children and women.Just to watch but not to buy, just to make them laugh, saying that they came to watch the chicken market, not to buy.This mockery works on our hearts. "Damn thing, he thought we couldn't afford it!" Then you have to buy it. The small chickens seem to have just come out of the nest not long ago, like our fist colonel, the whole body of the chicken is like down.The color is only black and yellow, and so is the mouth.The male and female are still unclear.The seven or eight were locked in a thin slatted round cage and shouted, probably missing its mother! If this little thing can be hugged to sleep, it will be fine if you never let it go! After more than ten years, a raw chicken was sold for ten copper coins, which is really scary.At that time, we spent fourteen coppers to buy a flock of chicks (there were five of them) just full moon, and even the cages.The money was paid by the brothers of the Wu family. When Yue Tong arrived home, each of his brothers had two, one black and one yellow, and I took the black one with the big mouth. We bought the chicken so that we were busy going home to hold the chicken to compete with other people's chickens, and thought of going home.We used a thin stick of firewood as a pole to pass through the rattan ring on the top of the chicken coop. Two of the three were selected to carry the treasure, and they were exchanged in turn. The one who was empty-handed would clear the way ahead.They laughed at each other and said that this is Tang Sanzang learning from the scriptures, and Zhu Bajie was the one who opened the way.We passed the Yellow Wind Cave, the Liusha River, the Lanshishan Mountain, and... finally came to Daleiyin.The weather is neither too early nor too late, it is the time to leave school.In this city, Sun Houzi and others should part ways. What a fun day to learn to escape--and with a chick.If it is a rooster, after a while, I can catch chickens on the street and fight with other people; if it is a hen, it will lay eggs for me.With this little chicken, I'm just like Wu Ya; the chicken in Minawi's hand, because it's lonely and lost its companion, squeaks even more, and I don't think it's annoying.Because of this, walking on the street, paying attention to ordinary children, I feel very good in my heart! Seeing that it was late, I went to a land hall I knew well, and asked the temple owner to get the book basket I had deposited.There is enough room in the book basket to accommodate chickens.But I don't, I hold it in my hand so people can see it! My heart is pounding when I get home.In case the fourth aunt came to play at my house today, what would I say?If the elder sister goes to the warehouse to find her cousin today, the case will be committed. The chicken was still in my hand, and it was still crowing. At first I couldn't get along with the chicken, but now I found it difficult to deal with the chick.Lose the chicken, of course it can't be done.If you bring a chicken into the door and ask where the chicken came from, you will say that the boss of the Wu family gave it to you, but if you ask again, won't you reveal your flaws?I hesitated and didn't know what to do.An eight or nine-year-old child is not as sophisticated as a ten-year-old in deception, and even if he can cover it up in the daytime, the ravings in his dreams will also count out the debauchery during the day! 我在这时非常愿有一个熟人正去我家,我就同他一起回。 有一个熟人在一块时,家中为款待这熟人,把我自然而然就放过去了。但在我家附近徘徊多久却失望了。在街上呆着,设或遇到一个同学正放学从此处过,保不了到明天就去先生处张扬,更坏! 不回也不成。进了我家大门,我推开二门,先把小鸡从二门罅塞进去,探消息。这小鸡就放声大喊大叫跑向院中去。 这一来,不进门,这鸡就会为其他大一点的鸡欺侮不堪! 姐在房中听到院中有小鸡叫声,出外看,我正掷书篮到一旁来追小鸡。 “哪得来这只小鸡?” “瞧,这是吴少老板送我的!” “妙极了。瞧,想他的娘呢。” “可不是,叫了半天了埃” 我们一同蹲在院中石地上欣赏这鸡,第一关已过,只差见妈了。 见了妈也很平常,不如我所设想的注意我行动,我就全放心,以为这次又脱了。 到晚上,是睡的时候了,还舍不得把鸡放到姐为我特备的纸盒子里去。爹忽回了家。第一个是喊我过去,我一听到就明白事情有八分不妙。喊过去,当然就搭讪着走过我家南边院子去! “跪倒!”走过去不敢看爹脸上的颜色,就跪倒。爹象说了这一声以后,又不记起还要说些什么了,顾自去抽水烟袋。 在往常,到爹这边书房来时节,爹在抽水烟就应当去吹煤子,以及帮他吹去那活动管子里的烟灰。如今变成阶下囚,不能说话了。 我能明白我自己的过错。我知道我父亲这时正在发我的气。我且揣测得出这时窗外站有两个姐同姑母奶娘等等在窗下悄听。父亲不做声,我却呜呜的哭了。 见我哭了一阵,父亲才笑笑的说: “知道自己过错了么?” "understood." “那么小就学得逃学!逃学不碍事,你不愿念书,将来长大去当兵也成,但怎么就学得扯谎?” 父亲的声音,是在严肃中还和气到使我想抱到他摇,我想起我一肚子的巧辩却全无用处,又悔又恨我自己的行为,尤其是他说到逃学并不算要紧,只扯谎是大罪,我还有一肚子的谎不用!我更伤心了。 “不准哭了,明白自己不对就去睡!” 在此时,在窗外的人,才接声说为父亲磕头认错,出来吧。打我也许使我好受点。我若这一次挨一点打,从怕字上着想,或者就不会再有第二次这样情形了。虽说父亲不打不骂,这样一来,我慢慢想起在小小良心上更不安,但一个小孩子有悔过良心,同时也就有玩的良心;当想玩时则逃学,逃学玩够以后回家又再来悔过——从此起,我便用这方法度过我的学校生活了。 家中的关隘虽已过,还有学校方面在。我在临睡以前私下许了一个愿,若果这一次的逃学能不为先生知道,则今天得来这匹小鸡到长大时我就拿它来敬神。大约神嫌这鸡太小了长大也不是一时的事,第二天上学,是由奶娘伴送,到仓上见到先生以后,犹自喜全无破绽。呆一会,吴家两弟兄由其父亲送来,我晓得糟了。 我不敢去听吴老板同先生说得是什么话。到吴老板走去后,先生送客回来即把脸沉下,临时脸上变成打桐子的白露节天气。 “昨天哪几个逃学的都给我站到这一边来!” 先生说,照先生吩咐,吴家两兄弟就愁眉愁眼站过去,另外一个虽不同我们在一块也因逃学为家中送来的小孩也就站过去。 “还有呀!”他装作不单是喊我,我就顺便认为并不是唤我,仍不动声色。 “你们为我记记昨天还有谁不来?”这话则更毒。先生说了以后就有学生指我,我用眼睛去瞪他,他就羞羞怯怯作狡猾的笑。 “我家中有事,”口上虽是这样说,脸上则又为我说的话作一反证,我恨我这脸皮薄到这样不济事。但我又立时记起昨晚上父亲说得逃学罪名比扯谎为轻,就身不由己的走到吴肖义的下手站着了。 “你也有份吗?”姨爹还在故意恶作剧呀。 我大胆的期期艾艾说是正如先生所说的一样。先生笑说好爽快。 照规矩法办,到我头上我总有方法。我又在打主意了。 先命大吴自己搬板凳过来,向孔夫子磕头,认了错,爬到板凳上,打!大吴打时喊,哭,闹,打完以后又逞值价作苦笑。 先生把大吴打完以后,就遣归原座,又发放另一个人。小吴在第三,先生的板子,轻得多,小吴虽然也喊着照例的喊,打十板,就算了。这样就轮到我的头上来了。板子刚上身,我就喊:“四姨呀!师母呀!打死人了!救!打死我了!” 救驾的原已在门背后,一跳就出来,板子为攫去。虽不打,我还是在喊。大家全笑了。先生本来没多气,这一来,倒真生气了。为四姨抢去的是一薄竹片子,先生乃把那梼木戒方捏着,扎实在我屁股上捶了十多下,使四姨要拦也拦不及。 我痛极,就杀猪样乱挣狂嗥。本来设的好主意,想免打,因此倒挨了比别人还凶的板子,不是我所料得到的事! 到后我从小吴处,知道这次逃学是在场上给一个城里千总带兵察场见我们正在狗肉摊子上喝酒,回城告给我们两人的父亲。我就发誓愿说,将来在我长成大人时,一定要约人把这千总打一顿出气。不消说这千总以后也没有为我们打过,城里千总就有五六个,连姓名我们还分不清楚,知道是谁呀? 每日那种读死书,我真不能发现一丝一厘是一个健全活泼孩子所需要的事。我要玩,却比吃饭睡觉似乎还重要。父亲虽说不读书并不要紧,比扯谎总罪小点,但是他并不是能让我读一天书玩耍一天的父亲!间十天八天,在头一天又把书读得很熟,因此邀二姐作保驾臣,到父亲处去,说,明天请爹让我玩一天吧,那成。君,间十天八天,我办得到吗?一个月中玩十五天读十五天书,我还以为不足。把一个月腾出三天来玩,那我只好闷死了。天气既渐热,枇杷已黄熟,山上且多莓,到南华山去又可以爬到树上去饱吃樱桃,为了这天然欲望驱使,纵到后来家中学堂两边都以罚跪为惩治,我还是逃学! 因为同吴家兄弟逃学,我便学会劈甘蔗,认鸡种好坏,滚钱。同一个在河边开水碾子房的小子逃学,我又学会了钓鱼。 同一个做小生意的大儿子逃学,我就把掷骰子呼幺喝六学会了。 这不算是学问么,君?这些知识直到如今我并不忘记,比《孟子。离娄》用处怎样?我读一年书,还当不到我那次逃学到赶场,饱看河边苗人坐的小船以及一些竹木筏子印象深。并且你哪里能想到狗肉的味道? 也正因逃学不愿读书,我就真如父亲在发现我第一次逃学时所说的话,到五年后真当兵了。当兵对于我这性情并不坏。当了兵,我便得放纵的玩了。不过到如今,我是无学问的人,不拘到什么研究学术的机关去想念一点书,别人全不要。说是我没有资格,中学不毕业,无常识,无根柢。这就是我在应当读书时节没有机会受教育所吃的亏。为这事我也非常痛心,又无法说我这时是应当读书且想读书的一人,因为现在教育制度不是使想读书的人随便可读书,所以高深的学问就只好和我绝缘,这就是我玩的坏的结果了。不懂得应当读书时旧的制度强迫我读书;到自己觉悟要读书时,新的制度又限制我把我除外;(以前不怕挞,可逃学,这时有些学问,你纵有自学勇气,也不能在学校以外全懂)我总好象同一切成规天然相反,我真为我命运莫名其妙了。 在另时,我将同你说我的赌博。 ——一个退伍的兵的自述之一—— 一九二七年十一月于北京窄而霉斋
