Chapter 29 Twenty-six

In the dimness, I reached out and put my arm on his shoulder.His skin was cool and wet with sweat.His back was facing me, his legs were bent, and his back was arched into a bow.The outside of the window has already started to turn white, and the clear light coming in is reflected on his clean-shaven head.For a moment I thought it was my younger brother lying beside me.In the first year when my mother left, my younger brother slept with me in the same bed, and because I was afraid, I always asked me to hug him.Later, when we grew up, my younger brother would still squeeze into my bed, and we would lie together in a grand formation.At that time, my brother had just become obsessed with martial arts novels. The first one I introduced him to read was the comic strip of the Seven Heroes and the Five Righteousnesses. He chatted with me all night about the five rats making trouble in Tokyo.He dubbed himself Chinchilla Bai Yutang, and assigned me to be Lu Fang, the squirrel.Bai Yutang is young and beautiful, with high martial arts skills, no wonder his younger brother loves him, and Bai Yutang's youngest arrogance is somewhat similar to his younger brother.On a cold winter night, the window of our room leaked air, and cold air poured in through the cracks in the window. The more we slept in the middle of the night, the colder it became, and our feet were frozen. So my younger brother got into my bed, and the two of us huddled together to keep each other warm, talking a lot Fanjiang Mouse intelligently captures butterflies.Probably because of my childhood habit, when I fell asleep, I couldn't help but reach out and hold my baby brother in my arms. I picked up the towel on the floor under the bed and wiped the stream of water from his back. Gently wipe off the sweat.I also slept with fever all over my body, sweating profusely, and my throat was dry and cracked, and I was angry. I probably drank too much wine bye bye, and my head was a little dizzy.I got up, went to the bathroom, turned on the faucet, washed my head, drank a big mouthful of cold water, and went back to the room. It was already daylight.The younger brother was still curled up, sleeping soundly.I took a torn shirt to cover his lower body, put on my coat, and took the mouthwash cup, and went downstairs to buy soybean milk.The sky is full of red hot sun outside, even the morning wind is hot.

I went to the soy milk stall in the alley next door and bought a mouthwash cup of soy milk and two sets of fried dough sticks.When I got home, I heard a burst of laughter in my room as soon as I went upstairs.It turned out that Xiaoyu, Wu Min, and the mouse had all come, and the three of them stood around the bed.The younger brother sat cross-legged in the middle of the bed, naked, grinning at them innocently.The three of Xiaoyu pointed and chattered, as if they were watching monkeys in a zoo. Ah Qing, where did you find such a fool?When Xiaoyu saw me, she clapped her hands and bent over laughingly. We came in just now and asked him: Who are you?What are you doing here?Who knew that he stood up on the bed, picked up the penis and shouted: Hush.I was so scared that I ran over and picked up your washbasin to catch him!

Why don't you get your own washbasin?I scolded, my enamel basin on the ground was filled with half a basin of yellow urine. The mouse saw the soy milk in my hand and wanted to rush to drink it, so I pushed him away. Bought for that little guy to drink!I said. Hey!Mouse Zhizhi laughed and said, Ah Qing is raising a little guy! But Wu Min went over and touched his younger brother's head, and said with a smile: Look how funny his head is bald! I drove the three of them away, and handed a cup of soy milk to my younger brother.He picked up the mouthwash cup and drank two gulps, and let out a long breath as if satisfied.I also gave him a set of sesame seed fried dough sticks, and he took it, chewing happily.I was about to start eating another set, but the mouse grabbed my wrist and bit off a big piece of the sesame seed cake.

Damn rat mouth!I laughed and scolded, I told them about the situation of the old turtle auctioning off the younger brother in the park last night. Annoyed, old thief!Xiaoyu shouted. That old one is not repaired!The mouse's mouth is full of sesame seed cakes, wait until I take a mallet and stab him hard! Psoriasis on his neck!Wu Min frowned. It turned out that Xiaoyu and the others came to ask me to go swimming in the East Gate swimming pool, and the three of them even brought towels.What do I mean when I say that the swimming pool is crowded with people and the water is dirty?It is much more pleasant to go to the water source of Yingqiao and soak in the river.All three cheered, even saying why didn't they think of it earlier?

What about this little guy?I pointed to my little brother sitting on the bed and said, I originally planned to send him home today, but he couldn't even tell where his home was. But Xiaoyu walked over, picked up his younger brother by one ear, and said: Little boy, my brothers will take you to the river to take a bath and wash the birds, okay? The younger brother stared blankly at Xiaoyu, his face full of bewilderment.Wu Min pushed Xiaoyu away and said with a smile: Brother, we will take you to swim in the river, how about swimming like this?Wu Min swiped his hand twice, showing it to his younger brother.

Little brother Ai Yubing read it word by word. Good, good, good, let's buy Aiyu ice for you to eat!Wu Min patted his shoulder and said. The younger brother suddenly laughed gruntly, leaning forward and backward in laughter, his bright green head shaking wildly for a while. Yi Niang!The mouse scolded, he is obviously a little neurotic! We unanimously decided to take the younger brother to Yingqiao together.I found a set of old clothes and put them on for my little brother. A ragged white shirt was dangling on him like a coat, and a pair of khaki pants were so long that they dragged to the floor, so I had to roll up the trousers and use two Pin it.Without shoes, let him play barefoot.Xiaoyu and the others rented three bicycles and rode here. There were five of us, I carried my younger brother, Xiaoyu carried Wu Min, and the mouse took care of the order, with our towels in the back of his car.The younger brother was sitting behind my car, and I ordered him to hold my waist tightly.Xiaoyu's bicycle was riding crookedly and almost hit the safety island.Wu Min called out from behind the car:

careful!careful! You can't die, Brother Wu!Xiaoyu shouted, you are not afraid of cutting your hands, now the ghosts are screaming! Mouse was riding a sports car with a raised seat and his ass was flying.The mouse was whistling with its pointed mouth, and sometimes rushed forward to touch Xiaoyu's face, and sometimes retreated to kick Wu Min's leg.Xiaoyu's car shook even more.Xiaoyu was sweating profusely, cursing and swearing all kinds of words.The younger brother sat behind me and laughed happily.We hit, cursed, shouted, and laughed, and the three bicycles roared all the way to the water source of Yingqiao.After getting out of the car, everyone's clothes were soaked.

Because it hasn't rained for a long time, the water of Xindian River near the water source is very shallow, the river surface is much narrower, and a lot of sandy beaches are exposed. There are gray and black pebbles lined up on the sandy beach.Near the water, there is a large piece of foxtail, each cluster of which is spewing out large flocs, swaying in the wind, shining white under the scorching sun.Xindian Creek is the only river in Taipei that has not been seriously polluted, and the water is still green.In the past summer vacation, I always took my younger brother to ride a bicycle to swim in the water source. The two of us ran back with red heads and red faces, tanned like boiled shrimp.After two days, my baby's skin began to peel, always starting from the tip of the nose first, with a bright red face, showing a white nose.Before the typhoon came, we swam in the water source to our fullest. When the typhoon came, the river water became cloudy, and the water level rose and there were eddies, so we couldn't swim.A few of us pushed the car, went down to the beach on the shore, got into the piece of foxtail grass, the grass was taller than people, and hid in it. People on the shore couldn't see us. We all took off our coats and only wore a pair of underwear. , one by one ran out of the grass and walked to the river.The cobblestones were scalding hot in the sun, and our bare feet burned and stinged when we stepped on them. We shouted, ran and jumped, and hurried to the water's edge.Xiaoyu was wearing a pair of bright red nylon briefs, and ran in front. The mouse caught up with him, touched his buttocks, and asked with a smile:

Xiaoyu, did you steal your underwear from your mother? Xiaoyu turned around and kicked the mouse's crotch. The mouse jumped back two steps in fright. Rats!Xiaoyu yelled: "Look at my lord kicking your little egg out!" The younger brother walked slowly and fell behind. Probably the stones on the beach were too hot. He couldn't walk steadily, staggered, fell and sat on the ground, screaming.I turned around, pulled him up from the ground, and dragged him straight to the water's edge. When they reached the shore, Xiaoyu suddenly pushed the mouse into the water.The shallow part of the river was full of mud, and the mouse fell headlong, flustered, and struggled for a long time. Its hands were covered with mud, its head and face were covered with black mud, and it was spitting.We all clapped our hands and laughed.The mouse's breath was corrupted, and it fell and crawled to catch Xiaoyu.Xiaoyu hurriedly ran into the river by jumping on three legs and two times, and after a splash of water, she swam to the center of the river.Xiaoyu can swim breaststroke and is very agile.The mouse is not good, it follows behind, it can only crawl like a dog, its head is pounding like garlic, bit by bit, it still floats there for a long time, it can't swim a few feet, and after a while, it lands a long way behind Xiaoyu.

Come on, mouse!Wu Min and I both shouted on the shore. Swimming to the middle of the river, the mouse saw that the general situation was over, and he could not catch up with Xiaoyu, so he had to turn back.After climbing ashore, I was already so tired that my face was flushed and my mouth couldn't close. Now it really becomes a water mouse!Wu Min said with a smile. Fuck you mother! The mouse became angry from embarrassment, bent down, picked up a handful of water and splashed it on Wu Min's face.Not to be outdone, Wu Min raised his foot and kicked up a ball of mud, which splashed on the mouse.The two ran into the water at the same time, stood in the shallow water, waved their hands wildly, and started a water fight.The water sprayed into the air, reflecting the sunlight, and turned into strings of bright and eye-catching beads.Mouse and Wu Min had jet-black blisters printed on one arm, and a bright red knife mark was engraved on the other wrist.Both swung the traumatized arm, fighting harder and harder until, by the end, both were exhausted.Hitting and hitting, the closer they got, they finally hugged each other, with their heads resting on each other's shoulders, and they could only breathe.

I was fascinated, and I was not on guard. The little brother who was snuggling next to me ran into the water at some point. The water was chest deep. He raised his two thin arms and swayed from side to side. The sun hit his face The green scalp reflected light.I also hurriedly chased into the water, the river was cold, and the heat disappeared in one go.Just when I arrived behind my little brother, he paddled the water with both hands. His head was submerged in the water, and his legs kicked for a while, like a little duck turning over into the water. The water moved forward. Little guy, you can float too! The younger brother pawed for a while, raised his head out of the water, and I smiled at him. whee.The younger brother grinned and panted heavily. come over!I beckoned to him, I'll teach you breaststroke. I made two strokes of breaststroke in the water with both hands to show him. brothers!Xiaoyu shouted on the other side, come across the river quickly! Xiaoyu stood on the stone pier under the bridge, waving her hands towards us.Both Mouse and Wu Min plunged into the water with a splash and swam to the opposite bank.The little brother pointed at Xiaoyu anxiously, and wanted to follow them to the center of the river. wait!I grabbed him and said, you can't swim alone! He suddenly became stubborn, whining, dragging me to run outside. Brother, listen up!I shouted, you must cross the river, and I will swim with you on my back.It looks like this: You put your hands around my waist, and your legs catch water with me. I put his hands around my waist, and we tried it in the water, and it worked. Mouse, Wu Min, we are here too! I yelled at the mouse Wu Min, and my little brother, he put his arms around my waist, held the water together, and slowly floated towards the center of the river.Mouse and Wu Min turned their heads and protected our sides. The four of them, like a small fleet, sailed slowly towards the opposite bank.The river is shallow and calm, with no waves at all.I carried my younger brother on my back and didn't feel very strenuous.I remember taking my younger brother to swim at the water source. At first he couldn't breathe, he could only swim 20 to 30 meters, and he didn't dare to cross the river. Later, I taught him.The first time I crossed the river, I swam with him. Halfway through the swim, my younger brother choked on water, became frightened, and wanted to turn back.I hurriedly stopped him, not allowing him to go back, and ordered him to put my arms around my waist and lead him to swim to the other side.It was an evening in July, the sun was about to set, and it fell on the other side of Yingying Bridge, a red ball.That day the water was strong and the wind was strong. We faced the fiery red sunset and struggled to hold the water together. We swam for a long time before we reached the other shore.Because it was Diwa's first time crossing the river, when he climbed ashore, he cheered excitedly, and his face was reddish golden under the setting sun. Long live! Xiaoyu cried, and he stretched out his hand to give us a hand, and pulled me and my younger brother ashore.The mouse and Wu Min also climbed up, and the five of us sat down and rested around the concrete pier on the bank, all drenched in water.The sound of cars and people talking on the bridge and along the streets was abnormal, and people who got off work at noon came and went in a hurry.There is wind under the bridge, blowing on the body, very cool.The younger brother was sitting on the pier, swinging his legs back and forth, babbling, and humming a song that didn't make a tune. Little fool!Xiaoyu slapped the younger brother's bare head, and said with a smile: I can't see that you can sing! The little mouse, Aunt Feng taught me, the younger brother tilted his head and replied quite proudly.and red rooster Good, good, little brother, Wu Min urged him, your little mouse sounds so good, sing it quickly! How unreasonable!Mouse grunted softly. little mouse sharp mouth Steal eggs and noodles The younger brother simply sang aloud, word by word, out of breath; but he worked very hard, and his neck stretched.Xiaoyu, Wu Min, and I laughed so long that we fell to the ground, holding our bellies and yelling ouch.Xiaoyu lay on the ground pointing at the mouse and shouted: This mouse's mouth is even sharper, and it's going to steal a dick! The mouse stood up and ran over to kick Xiaoyu's feet, then grabbed his ear and shouted: Little thing, don't be rude to your mouse brother from now on!Did you hear that?Don't sing this goddam song again! Then I sing Red Rooster.said the younger brother. Don't worry, don't worry, the mouse frowned impatiently and scolded, go back and sing those songs for your brother Ah Qing to listen to alone.Let's not listen, we're going to catch crabs! There are many holes on the bank slope under Yingying Bridge, and there are crabs in the holes.Once, seven or eight mice were caught and brought back to us. They were deep-fried, bright red and fragrant. The four of us, Xiaoyu and Wu Min, ate them.We left the younger brother alone on the stone pier, and ran to the bank under the bridge to turn over the stone.The mouse was impatient, and without waiting for us to surround it, it turned over a big rock at once, and a blue and white crab with the size of a teacup ran out of it, flying sideways to escape.The mouse crawled and fell, but did not catch up. When we rushed over, the blue and white crab ran into the water long ago and disappeared without a trace.The mouse shook its hands and feet in hatred, croaked strangely, and turned over stones everywhere.Several of us were busy for a long time, and only mentioned two soft-shell crabs the size of copper coins.The mouse held the two soft-shell crabs, cursed and spat twice, and simply threw them into the river.We were all hungry, and we were about to walk back to the shore to buy glutinous rice balls, but we found that the younger brother had disappeared on the stone pier. We were anxious and shouted at the same time: younger brother Did that little fool fall into the river?Xiaoyu muttered. Let's go to the bridge and have a look.Wu Min suggested. There is a stone step leading to the bridge, and we ran up in a swarm and stepped onto the Yingying bridge.The bridge was crowded with vehicles and pedestrians, and a large group of people surrounded the bridgehead, pointing and laughing.We ran over and found that it was the younger brother standing in the middle of the crowd, completely naked, his underwear had been taken off somewhere, exposing his lower body.He crossed his hands to protect his thin white chest, which was splashed with red juice, dripping down and down.He stared blankly at the crowd, his mouth was open, and he was giggling, but his eyes were blinking and full of panic.Most of the crowd consisted of curious children and teenagers. A few female students came to poke their heads, but quickly covered their mouths and ran away.In front of my younger brother stood two scathing little hooligans with clogs and slicked hair.One of them took two half-eaten bright red watermelons and threw them at the younger brother.The mouse got into the crowd first, and he dashed over, pushed the little rascal, and shouted: Fuck you mother, do you dare to hit someone? Nervous man!The little hooligan said to each other with an evil voice. He pees everywhere!Another confident voice chimed in. It's none of your business if he urinates anywhere?The mouse gesticulated and scolded, "It's fine if it's not small enough to fit in your mouth!" The onlookers all burst into laughter, and the two hooligans were gearing up to have sex with the mouse. Brothers, let's do it!Xiaoyu shouted loudly, we all squeezed into the circle, four of us lined up to protect the little brother, and put on airs.The two little hooligans saw that there was something wrong with us because of the large number of people, so they ran away and shouted: Let's call the police and catch the nerve man! The four of us exchanged winks, Xiaoyu and I held my younger brother's hand, while Mouse and Wu Min opened the way ahead, the five of us pulled and ran across the bridge to the end of the bridge, we scrambled and rolled from the bank Slid down the river beach.By the time we got into that bush and got back to where we hid our car and our clothes, we were all slumped on the ground, unable to move.We lay on the hot sand and panted for a long time before everyone burst out laughing at the same time: Dry
