When I woke up the next morning, Mr. Yu had already left.He left a shirt next to the bed, a Smelt blue checked shirt, with a note on it: Young baby: I have two morning classes.When I come back at noon, I will take you to Liu's Duck Village to eat preserved meat rice.This shirt is new, you can wear it. Yu Hao I looked at the alarm clock next to the bed, it was already eleven twenty, and I quickly jumped up.I tried the new shirt on and it fit perfectly, but I hastily took it off, folded it as it was, and put it back on the bed.I wrote on the back of that note: Mr. Yu: I am leaving.Sorry to bother you last night.Wang Dulu's "Iron Rider Silver Vase" will be borrowed from you again in the future.Thanks!

Li Qing The autumn sun outside was shining brilliantly in the blue sky.The cool breeze blows very refreshingly.I bought a set of sesame seed fried dough sticks, and while I ate them, I wandered aimlessly on the streets of Taipei.I felt a little bewildered, but very relaxed. The burst of wailing last night seemed to have poured out all the bruises that had accumulated in my heart for a long time, and my body became empty.I wandered from one street to another, and before I knew it, I came to the end of Chongqing South Road, the intersection of Nanhai Road.Since I was expelled from school, in the past six months, I have always consciously or unintentionally avoided going to this area, because Yude Middle School is on Nanhai Road, and I don't want to run into my old classmates and teachers.But at this moment, I suddenly had an urge to go back to my alma mater to have a look.It was Saturday afternoon, and there was no class at school. Even if I ran into old teachers and classmates, they might not recognize me.My hair grew so long it covered my eyebrows, and I wore jeans that I didn't look like a middle-school kid.The wall of Yude Middle School is made of red bricks, tall and tall. The two iron gates were open. I went in and walked through the office building facing the main entrance. The bulletin board on the wall below the building was full of notices. There are also two demerits recorded by students: Huang Zhuguo cheated in the monthly mathematics exam in the second class of senior high school, which was a major demerit.Liu Jianxing, from class D of the third grade, stole public property and stayed in school for probation.He was not ordered to drop out of school.Probably the Gobi Desert behind is still flying sand and rocks. Our playground is full of yellow dust when the wind blows. We call it the Gobi Desert. Every time we finish military training on the playground and return to the classroom, everyone’s eyebrows are white. Top with a thin layer of sand.The playground was empty, and there was no one there, but on the basketball court next to the playground, there were people shooting basketballs, and the basketball hit the ground, making bang bang noises, accompanied by bursts of shouting and cheering:

nice shot! I went around to the basketball court and saw several junior high school students passing the ball, each shirtless and wearing scout shorts, five of them in total.I stood under the basket, watched for a while, and realized that they were playing ball.One team of two, one team of three, the action was fierce, and the fight was inextricable. The two-person team was obviously getting weak, and the formation was a bit messy. They had already lost several balls at the basket, and one of the big men just had a very impressive shot. The embarrassing stuffy hot pot, the three-person team laughed and joked, triumphantly.

You are so domineering, tell you to pass and not pass?The two teams started to squabble, and the little one shouted angrily. He was the shortest of the five, but he was nimble and quick when he was laying up.His round baby face was flushed and sweating profusely. I've already dribbled for a layup, shouldn't I shoot?The big man on the two-man team defended himself with his arms outstretched and a goofy grin.He's the tallest, but he's a big, clumsy, and rather domineering guy. shoot your head!Received a big hot pot from others?Babyface tossed the ball resentfully, grunting and complaining.

The three-person team has won several goals and is far ahead, and their actions and words have become more arrogant. One of them, Xiao Heitan, picked up the ball and started to attack. He rushed to the bottom of the basket, his baby face panicked, and he rushed up to stop it . handle!Xiao Heitan threw the ball, but missed, raised his hand and shouted. Which handle?Don't talk nonsense!The baby face retorted with a bad breath. handle!handle!The other two members of the trio also chimed in and learned how to hold hands. fart!Babyface shouted angrily, ask him! He pointed at the big stupid man, who was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said:

I didn't see clearly either. The three-man team cheered together, and they were about to make free throws.Babyface ran over and gave the silly big man a hard blow, and spat: You donkey! I didn't see clearly.The big fool scratched his head and said truthfully. Xiao Heitan shot the ball, but he made both free throws, and the second shot was still hollow.The three-person team became more and more excited, applauding and applauding.The baby face was holding the ball, his eyes were blinking, and the veins on his forehead were bulging. join in! I raised my hand under the basket and shouted, while taking off my shirt, I also became shirtless.The three-person team looked at each other, and the baby face turned from anger to joy, and took the lead in calling:

welcome!welcome!We have come to the rescue. After my new force joined the two-person team, the situation immediately reversed. At the end of the first half, the two teams had already drawn a tie, twenty to twenty.The baby face screamed and danced with joy, and stopped scolding the stupid big man.The second half started and we were leading the way and Babyface worked really well with me.I passed the ball and he made a layup. Although he was short, he shot the right hook very accurately and scored three or four goals in a row.Once upon a time in school, I was in the basketball team of Class C of our senior high school, playing center forward.In the competition between the night team and the day team, we even won a pennant, and I was the one who went up to receive the award from Principal Gao.We played in the backcourt of the second half, and the original three-person team had been defeated like Dalu, and the three began to complain to each other.For the last ball, I stood in the midfield and took a long shot. With a swish, the net turned over and went in a hollow.

nice shot!Babyface clapped her hands and said happily. We finally won the battle with forty-five to twenty-eight.Babyface ran over and hugged my waist, bouncing around, and then kicked the silly big guy's ass. Throw in the towel?The baby-faced smile pointed at Xiao Heitan and said, "Please treat us to some ice!" Fuck you!Xiao Heitan spit out some saliva, gasped and spat, please help, it doesn't count. Hey, someone wants to renege on their bills!Babyface smiled and shouted at the silly big man. Let's compete again, another one of the three-person team ran up to help Xiao Heitan, sorry for your lack of kindness!

Don't be so long-winded, baby face pushed away the pout, you lost, right?Forty-five to twenty-eight, a fiasco.A gentleman makes a decision, and a loser treats him.You renege on your debts! His mouth was tilted up and he was panting, his thick lips were pursed high.The baby face sized up his mouth, pointed at him suddenly and laughed sharply: Sharp mouth, look in the mirror, what does your mouth look like now?Like a duck ass! His mouth turned red, and he punched him.Baby Face ran away in a hurry, but was stopped by Xiao Heitan, who chased after him, grabbed Baby Face, and they fought into a ball.Xiao Heitan shot cold arrows at the side, and the baby's face, back and waist had already suffered several dark losses.

Big man, come and help!Babyface cried out for help. The silly big man ran up to help, and the other whelk of the trio was not far behind.So the five people fought with each other with fists and feet.A game of betting on clear ice turned into martial arts. At first the five of them were laughing while beating each other, but then they probably hit hard and the beating hurt, and they actually recognized the truth.Especially the baby face and the pouting mouth, crackling, faceless, beating up randomly, the two of them got red eyes.Seeing the seriousness of the situation, I hurried forward, separated the baby face from the upturned mouth, and then yelled:

armistice! The five little guys stopped in awe, each with their hips akimbo, their necks crooked, and they stared at each other angrily. You're betting on the host, aren't you?I asked. It's clearly agreed, the losing team treats guests and eats clear ice.Babyface replied confidently. So you lost, do you want a treat?I asked the trio. You help them, don't count!Xiao Heitan protested. If you don't help them, it's no wonder they don't lose their pants!She cocked her mouth and chimed in. Babyface jumped forward and cried: You don't care how we won, you obviously can't afford to lose and want to renege on your debt.It is the grandson of the turtle who repudiates the debt. Twitching his mouth and Xiao Heitan began to wrestle again, I hurriedly stopped and said: Let me mediate and make a compromise.Don't you all want to eat clear ice?Since no one is willing to treat guests, I suggest that everyone pay their own money, and everyone go to eat together. The three-person team looked at each other in blank dismay, and ended with this, and responded in unison: also good. It's cheap for you!Babyface was still unwilling, and muttered. Each of us picked up our coats and put them on our shoulders. Babyface held the basketball in his arms. The six of us, sweaty and covered in yellow sand, swaggered out shirtless. school gate.Opposite the school, at the gate of the botanical garden, the stall selling Qingbing Laoli is still there.His trailer was so old that it rattled and rattled all the way, the machine for shaving and clearing ice was blackened with rust, and the glass jars containing five-color syrup were also smoky yellow.Lao Li is super fat. He opened his clothes all summer, with his big belly sticking out. The sweat beads on his head never stopped, and he didn't use a towel to wipe it. Clear the ice and go.However, Lao Li's Qingbing business has been booming, and several other stalls can't compete with him.Firstly, his price is reasonable and the portions are adequate.Secondly, Lao Li is an old sociable, popular, he is a retired soldier, travels a lot on the mainland, has endless Guerci, and Yude's students like to take care of him.Once upon a time in the summer after school was over, if I still had money in my pocket, I would go to Lao Li’s stall with my classmates to eat clear ice, while listening to him tell the story of driving corpses in Xiangxi.The blue light of the calcium carbide lamp on the cart with a pungent smell was flickering. Lao Li had a big belly and walked like a zombie, we all giggled and laughed. Lao Li.I cried with a smile. Lao Li looked me up and down for a long time before he recognized me, and immediately put a smile on his face. Hey, boy Li Qing, long time no see, have you graduated yet? Six bowls of clear ice, I said, we were all dying of thirst. As soon as the baby face came, he ran over to uncover the glass jar of red syrup on Lao Li's cart, and pointed his nose to smell it.Lao Li hurriedly snatched the lid of the glass jar, put it on, and shouted: The little devil is the most troublesome, what's wrong with him? Can you guess why Lao Li's clear ice is so delicious?The baby face asked with a smile, his syrup had been added to soak up his fragrant sweat. fuck you Lao Li's eyes were as big as copper bells, but he couldn't speak. He quickly wiped the sweat from his forehead with his hands, and we couldn't help laughing.Lao Li used the machine to shave the ice while muttering non-stop. He shaved six bowls of clear ice, added colorful syrups, and handed them to us, but pointed at the baby’s face and scolded: Little devil, what do you know?Your grandpa Li is the living Buddha Jigong, and you will live forever after eating the sweat of your grandpa Li! Lao Li is really like a Jigong Living Buddha. You see, he can rub a bowl of old mud on his stomach!The baby face smiled and pointed at Lao Li's big belly. Lao Li raised his hand to hit him, but he couldn't help laughing again. He grabbed the cheek of the baby face and said with a smile: Doll, you are the red boy of the Bull Demon King, you specialize in making funny jokes! We ate up every drop of the clear ice in the bowl and paid five yuan each.After eating the clear ice, everyone's anger disappeared. The silly big man, the little Heitan, the pouty mouth, the pimples, and the baby face all said goodbye to me and left.
