Chapter 14 Chapter Fourteen: The Golden Left Hand

On the second day after the public toilet war, Jingui was nicknamed "Golden Left Hand".This is not an honorable title, because the color of dung is the color of gold, and Jingui became famous by the side of the dung.What glory is there, he is still Tao Tao's defeated opponent, and he is still a bumpkin.Jin Zuoshou just let the whole school know that there is a new Jin Gui in Paozhong, and Jingui is a dull, stubborn, redneck and left-handed. funny people. He holds the "beautiful girl" with his left hand, holds chopsticks with his left hand, holds a racket with his left hand, and tries to write with his left hand... Anyway, all his behaviors are left-handed with everyone.You may not understand the left, but in our dialect, the left is awkward.Once when dictating words in an English class, Song Xiaodou was pacing and muttering.He stopped in front of Jingui, and Jingui quickly raised his head, under his disheveled hair, his eyes were full of fear.It's okay, Song Xiaodou made a gesture, and she smiled and said, Jingui is in line with international standards--Clinton also signed with his left hand.

The whole class laughed naturally, and Jingui wiped the sweat on the back of his left hand, and then laughed foolishly.His deskmate asked him, what are you laughing at?He said, Bo, Bo knows. Jingui came from Daba Mountain.Oh, you don't know Daba Mountain, do you?I just know it, I haven't been there.For people in our city, everyone has heard of Daba Mountain since they were young, and loess will grow in their ears.The Ba of Daba Mountain is the Ba of a country bumpkin. Daba Mountain has been heard thousands of times from parents, neighbors, and teachers. Is there any mountain poorer than Daba Mountain, is there any more country bumpkin than Daba Mountain....And Jingui is from Daba Mountain.He came here because his brother died.

We only learned about all this later. His elder brother went down the mountain, went to the city, and worked three years earlier than him.The last job he did during his lifetime was a cleaner, a cleaner who cleaned glass curtain walls.This job killed him. At that time, his body was staying outside the 33-story high-rise building, and the rope binding his waist suddenly snapped.Jingui's elder brother floated down from the 33rd floor, he must have been as light as paper when he fell.Because the physics teacher insisted that objects in free fall have the same speed, a ball of cotton, a piece of iron, a person, or a piece of paper...all are exactly the same.Alas, I hope that when Jingui's brother falls to the ground, he will not suffer, nor will he bleed out, he will just die.

The boss of the cleaning company, of course, is a boss who is not a big fart. He proposed that as long as the Wang family does not sue in court, he can take Jingui to the city to study, live and work.Jingui's father nodded and said only one sentence, stop being a cleaner. We asked Jingui, were you left-handed since childhood?Jingui said, I am left-handed, and I know what it means to be left-handed.I mow grass, chop firewood, hold a bullwhip...all are left-handed. Jingui said very little, of course, very few people came to talk to him anyway.He is a foolish fool. Tao Tao became another idiot after the public toilet war.Of course he's not really stupid, his stupidity is a taciturn one, the river is frozen, God knows what's going on down here.Except for a few words with Ali, he ignored everyone, came straight to get out of class, and left straight after class.His relationship with Eva was also completely severed, really completely severed, when the two of them met each other, they didn't turn their heads away, but turned a blind eye, just like she was a tree, a chair, or a desk with missing legs. table.Once during recess, I saw Eva tearfully grabbing Tao Tao’s neckline, and she said, even if I were a desk without a leg, it could block your way, or knock you into the ground. Hit.What am I now, air, wind, or water?You walked through me without leaving any traces, did you?

Eva's voice was not loud, in fact her voice was always very low, just low enough for the whole room to hear clearly.Sure enough, everyone started whispering, and tied the two of them together again with their eyes.My brain is always less stringed than others. I didn't hear Eva's implication, but admired that she really deserves the title of talented woman.I told Zhu Zhu that when she is a complaining woman, she is so literary, and complaining is like his mother's poetry.After Zhu Zhu heard this, she frowned and pondered for a while, then asked me seriously, is her mother really a poet?I was stunned for a while before I came back to my senses, I laughed out loud, and twisted her face hard, I said, you fake eyebrows and fake eyes, you have also learned to be funny.But Zhu Zhu didn't smile, as if she was still thinking or looking forward to something.She said that she likes me to scold her and pinch her, but I hope she didn't say stupid things on purpose to get spanked.Who would think that Zhu Zhu is a crazy girl, she is so beautiful, so distressing, and most of the time she is timid.

It was only later that I discovered that Zhu Zhu might have pretended to be confused again.Because Bao Jingsheng asked us a question, why did Eva scold Tao Tao for passing through her body?I think Bao Jingsheng is really stupid. I said that cursing is like fighting. You can use whatever you pick up. Stones, knives, shit, who cares more about why?But Bao Jingsheng squeezed one eye and laughed badly. He said, don't look at you with a slim fit and leather boots, you look like a hippie, but you haven't woken up yet. You haven't seen it yet. God's green ass.He curled his lips at Zhu Zhu, he said, are you right, little beauty?

Zhu Zhu didn't say a word.I looked at her and her face was red.I don't know why her little face is so red with fake eyebrows, isn't it just a foul word at most.Besides, Tao Tao didn't take this sentence to heart at all. That day, Tao Tao pulled Eva's hand off her neckline and pushed her lightly, and she fell on the seat.Eva began to babble and cry, she wanted to surround Tao Tao with crying, but Tao Tao left her and left, no matter what she was crying about. This time Eva cried softly, but also for an unexpectedly long time, like the continuous rain, which cannot make people thrilling, but makes people upset, as if there will never be peace.Even in class, she was sobbing, endlessly.Fortunately, Eva's crying was well controlled, just within the range of not interfering with teaching.Teacher Paozhong's self-cultivation is really extraordinary, and it's as if they didn't hear it when they heard it.As a teacher in the bubble, Vice President Jiang once said on the radio, the first is to cultivate well, the second is to cultivate well, and the third is to cultivate well. The teachers in our bubble are the hardest.Vice President Jiang repeats these words many times on Teacher's Day every year.It not only praises the teacher, but also pleases the students.And Song Xiaodou said something even more wonderful, if you don't cultivate well, you will have to go to hell.

Tao Tao relayed this to me. Song Xiaodou scolded him, scolded him, and sighed in two languages ​​one after another.The ghost that Song Xiaodou mentioned is the ghost of Westerners, not our ghost, what kind of egg is it called, maybe it is a stupid egg or a bird egg?Tao Tao didn't understand either.Tao Tao will not say anything to me now, he has nothing to do with me.Tao Tao probably wanted to break off all ties with everyone. He stood there, sat there, as if he had no nose, no eyes, no heart, no lungs, like a ball of air. But Eva was unrelenting, and the crippled girl's ideas were always extraordinary.She recorded her thoughts, her secrets, in her "Little Girls", but she will never be read to us again.Apart from crying, she kept her head buried and kept writing and writing.Her face was pale, her cheeks were as thin as a knife, and the hook on the tip of her nose was as sharp as a fishhook.We all want to know what she wrote. Director Ren’s nephew said that anger makes poets, and Eva’s anger must make her even more witty.But she doesn't let anyone touch her "Little Girl's Big Impression", she holds the book with both hands in front of her chest wherever she goes, just like the Japanese and Korean girls in the movie, she looks like a fake eyebrow and fake eye lady.But, at least that's what I thought at the time, it's all a fucking fake.Otherwise, how could Eva be Eva?

One day Ali told me that he saw with his own eyes that Eva grabbed Tao Tao at the thirteen paulownia trees and slapped him across the face. I wasn't surprised.I just asked Ali, did Tao Tao fight back? Ali exhaled softly, he said, Tao Tao did not fight back.Tao Tao didn't even say anything, just rode away on his bicycle. Poor Allie, he was crippled after the toilet fight, like he was the one who got the slap. The war in the public toilet was actually caused by troublemakers. How can there be a war?No one was beaten.According to Maimed, a game of chess has just ended, and it has already become an endgame.No one was beaten up, and no one was punished by the police or the school for this.For Paozhong, in the final analysis, there is nothing to say about this kind of thing.It's just that it happened in Class 1, Grade 2, and I, Tao Tao, Jingui, Bao Jingsheng, and Zhu Zhu happened to be the parties involved in it, so it had a little bit of influence on us few and far between. Bar.I'm still me, and my affair with Tao Tao ended long before this so-called big war, and I never got to know him well.Of course, he probably never knew me, did he?Whatever it is.All I lost was my hunting knife, my eighteenth birthday present.When I straightened up from the cesspit that day, the hunting knife was no longer in my hand.Maybe someone picked it up, maybe someone kicked it into the cesspit, this has nothing to do with me.Anyway, I no longer have this knife in my hand.

Once, Maimed went to hijack a camel caravan of a wealthy businessman by himself, and lost his knife during the fight.He lost the knife, and he was still fighting them desperately. They were frightened and said, this man is really terrible, this man doesn't even want a knife!They shouted and ran away.Oh, maybe, when a person is desperate for his life, he doesn't even want a knife, so he turns himself into a knife?I remember this episode the most, because I still haven't figured out why. I thought long and hard about what to do with the remaining knife, the scimitar inlaid with rubies and emeralds.At first I wanted to throw it into the rotten intestines of the South River, let it be buried in the muddy water, and let the nausea wash away the nausea.But I finally didn't throw it away, I'm sorry for the master who made this knife, he must be a very patient old man, wearing the same robe as Maimed, with the same gray eyes as Maimed, that is like Eyes hot and soft like a desert.When he forged the knife, he hammered it with a hammer and carved it with a knife, and then he made it so beautiful, as beautiful as a crooked moon, like Zhu Zhu's eyebrows.Zhu Zhu's eyebrows shouldn't be stained with mud and water.Because I couldn't figure it out, I held the scimitar in my hand and rubbed it every night.I have never been so close to a knife. I used to look at it tirelessly, and now I caress it for a long time in the dark.It's like a pair of baby's warm hands caressing a flower until the flower becomes warm too, blooms and wilts.

Dad lay next door tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.He kept coughing, spitting, getting up to drink water, and going to the bathroom... When he did all this, he was careful, restraining himself from making any noise, for fear of disturbing my good dreams.How did he know that I had a good dream, I kept my eyes wide open and waited for the dawn.I silently counted every sound he made, and I knew that it was his suppressed voice and footsteps pretending to be like a kitten, which really made me feel unspeakably sad.I want to lie down on his bed and talk to him, but I don't know what to say.I can't remember the last time I talked on my father's bedside, maybe it was more than ten years ago.The humidity and darkness of Yaya Valley completely ruined my father, who always complained of joint pain, muscle pain and itchy skin in sunny weather.His military cap and military uniform are hanging on the hooks behind the door, and the cap badge and lieutenant colonel epaulets are shining.Dad's daily homework is to wipe them clean and keep them bright. I haven't bought flowers for many days.Dad is always sneezing and short of breath.Dad said he might be allergic to pollen.He has been assigned to work in a mailbox by the Job Transfer Office.The head of the mailbox said, Lao He, you should still be in your old business. Do security work. Soldiers, these are their specialties.The chief immediately gave Dad a brand-new gray uniform, the kind used by Greyhound security guards, an electric baton like a flashlight, and a pair of huge white gloves. Like a mouse getting into the quilt.I asked Dad what do you think, Dad didn't speak, Dad just answered me with vigorous sneezing and coughing, his face was flushed from coughing, and blood was splashing in his eye sockets.He waved his hand, and I threw the bouquet of lilies on the table out the window.I haven't bought flowers since then.Really, I haven't bought one once. Mom hasn't come back yet.I don't know what agreement she made with Dad.Anyway, she didn't come back. She called me once and said that if my mother gritted her teeth and worked harder, we would be rich.I sneered, this is the first time I sneered at my mother.I said, I know what you are doing while gritting your teeth? Mom didn't say anything on the other end of the phone for a long time, and it took a long time before she cursed, damn it! I picked up the phone.I think it's funny, I'm not someone's. Last night, the southeast wind blew all night, and the plantains under the windowsill of our house were all discounted.The tables and chairs used to play mahjong under the big tree were all running around in the wind, and the windows were crackling. When it was dawn, I could still see someone's little underpants and underwear fluttering in the sky, like It's pink doves and swallows.I suddenly became in a good mood, I said Dad, Dad, you go to cut a catty of meat, buy two radishes, and add half a catty of garlic sprouts, and I will make twice-cooked pork for you in the evening. Dad answered me with a sigh-like voice, my good mood made him also in a good mood, and his sigh was happy, but anxious, for fear that the good mood would suddenly be blown away by the wind again. An old paulownia tree beside the school playground was also blown down. The tree fell and lay across the runway, blocking the runway all at once.This tree is also really big, falling down is like a house collapsed, and there are still fat leaves on the countless branches.There is also a bird's nest on the top of the tree. The bird's nest is big and soft. When it fell, none of the seven eggs in it broke. The first class in the morning is our physical education class. The physical education teacher asked the monitor to lead the students to remove the big trees first.Zhu Zhu called out to all the male students, but no one answered.Although the wind is less, it is still blowing. The temperature has dropped a lot. We didn’t add clothes in time. The wind was blowing on us, and it was cold. Such a mess!Poor Zhu Zhu had no choice but to turn around the tree trunk again and again, like a boxer circling his opponent, it was really ridiculous.But as she turned and turned, she suddenly cried out—she was the first to find the nest and the eggs. She held the bird's nest and eggs in her hands, and even her voice was a little weeping with joy.Yes, it’s tears of joy. When the lame Eva describes the return of the prodigal son and the reunion of lovers, she always uses such a word, “weeps of joy”.Zhu Zhu was crying with joy, she was almost speechless.She held it like that, and said, Fengzi Fengzi, seven eggs, seven eggs, seven eggs.The students all burst into laughter, and a bad guy shook his head and read, "Zhu Zhu doesn't touch eggs, but if he touches them, he will get seven eggs."I kicked him in the ass, and I said, damn it, you said it!The other boys rushed up and surrounded Zhu Zhu, yelling for balls, balls, we want balls. Zhu Zhu resisted delicately in the crowd, she said, no, no. I looked, and there were only two boys standing there without moving, one was Tao Tao and the other was Jingui.Jin Gui's hair was still messy and greasy, but he was no longer Jin Gui in a suit. He was wearing a red school uniform, which was as red as his flushed face.His cheekbones were high and red from the wind.In an instant, I suddenly felt that Jingui looked like a person, an Indian man pasted on an advertisement picture, with feathers on his head and a kidney-tonifying pill in his hand, it was really outrageous. I said, Jingui, Jingui, why don't you protect the monitor!The monitor is so kind to you. Jingui hesitated for a moment, then looked at Tao Tao, Tao Tao showed no expression at all.Jingui rushed forward, grabbed the boys by their collars one by one with his left hand, and pulled them away forcefully.No one tried to resist, and they all stepped back with a smile.They all knew about Jingui's strength, not being ruthless, but being brutal. After the public toilet war, Jingui's golden left hand was famous for a while, but gradually, there was no fight in the class, and they kind of forgot about this country bumpkin.He doesn't talk, doesn't speak, doesn't make friends, and goes to and after school in a dull manner, but now when he makes a move, everyone remembers his brute force. After the crowd dispersed, a circle was left, and Zhu Zhu stood there alone holding the bird's nest and eggs. She was so slender, so plump, and so pitifully cute.She looked bewildered, so dazed that it made people feel distressed.I yelled, Zhu Zhu, what are you doing standing there, leave it to the teacher. The physical education teacher was smoking, so he threw away the butt of the cigarette and wiped it with his toes. He said, I don't want it.He turned his head away from the tree and said wearily, let's get down to business.The physical education teachers in the bubble all look very tired, of course, they all have cool looks that they want to attract girls to like. Jingui looked at Zhu Zhu, and walked slowly to the fallen tree.He bent down, stretched his left arm under the tree trunk and weighed it, trying to lift the tree onto his shoulder.But the tree was absolutely too heavy, and the leaves were rustling, but the tree didn't move.Everyone looked at Jingui, quietly, only the wind blew across the playground lightly.Jingui held back his flushed face until he was about to bleed, but he still couldn't do it.He took back his left hand, leaned on the tree trunk with both hands, and pushed quietly with his shoulder.He pushed quietly, without making any sound, his body was tense, and his two feet kicked out two small grooves on the ground.The tree began to move slowly. Tao Tao walked over and stood beside Jingui, put his shoulders against the tree trunk, and pushed him up too.Then Ali, the boys.Bao Jingsheng looked at me, and I said, what are you looking at, aren't you a gentleman? Bao Jingsheng said, why should I? I said, don't you still owe me, even if I help Zhu Zhu. Bao Jingsheng said, you owe me too. I said, even if it is owed, it is also in order, right? Neither of us spoke anymore, and the two walked to the other side of the tree, stretching out four hands together to drag.Bao Jingsheng probably hadn't showered for a long time. He stood beside me, the smell of sweat was pungent, very smoky, and very warm.He was really like a hippopotamus, with a roar in his throat, as if he was shouting and beating the beat, and the tree was moved to the root of the wall in a short while. The bird's nest and eggs in Zhu Zhu's arms were later taken away by Director Ren.She threw the nest into the wastebasket and stacked the seven eggs neatly on a plate.The plate is made of fine porcelain, as white as a baby's skin, and the bird's eggs are placed on it, which is translucent and slightly red, just like Zhu Zhu, which is pitiful.When school was over, Zhu Zhujue told me that Director Ren added another small egg to the plate to make an "eight" and sent it to Principal Jiang's office in person.Principal Jiang is the former Vice Principal Jiang, and he is now Principal Jiang.Principal Jiang still lives in the former office, surrounded by lush plants, the house is still as old and fashionable as a farm. Zhu Zhu whispered a few words from her teeth, she said, he-bird-egg-of-! *the sixth part Earlier, Eva said in "The Great Impression" that men and men can become good brothers, men and women can become good friends, but women and women can only become enemies for life and death.Why is this, Eva said, there are too few things that belong to women in the world, those who get them are afraid of being snatched by other women, and those who want to get them can only be snatched from other women.Therefore, the relationship between women and women is the relationship between prevention and robbery, the relationship between policemen and thieves, the relationship between cats and mice, and the relationship between enemies and enemies.After hearing this, Zhu Zhu asked her with a smile, are Fengzi and I also enemies?
