The first prologue boyhood

Section 1 Peach Ruibao

Life is wonderful. Children from poor families can always grow up quickly and become stronger. How can you know the sweetness of suffering without experiencing the pain of hardships? How you treat others when you get along with them will also receive the same results.

Return accordingly.

There will never be true equality in life. The fate between people is not necessarily to meet and know each other, but may also be to respect and fear each other in a fight. The conditions for equal dialogue usually need to be achieved by force, so it has always been Ma Rulong's choice to fight.

motto.

One summer in the 1980s, in a place called Haizibian in a certain city in a certain country, there was a very rare small pool. The place was not big, but it was enough for children to play and enjoy the cool air in the summer.

It is cool and refreshing in the hot summer, and the water pool attracts many adults and children.

Little Taozi stood next to the pool, staring at her already big eyes, staring intently at the precious treasure, Ma Rulong, playing in the pool and touching the snails.

At this moment, she looked unconvinced and dissatisfied. But Xiao Taozi thought of the spicy and fragrant fried snails in her mind, and couldn't help but swallow again. She had no choice but to pouted her little mouth and waited obediently by the pool.

Although Ruibao is only two years older than Taozi, he has always been more mature and domineering than Taozi. Although little Taozi is an eccentric elf, in the face of Ruibao's domineering and invincible temperament, she can only be a good and obedient girl.

Just like now that Ruibao told Taozi not to go into the water, Taozi could only stand by the pool obediently. Ruibao's task for Taozi was to take care of the snails we salvaged from the pool.

Taozi watched us happily playing in the pool, and she felt extremely aggrieved. The reason why Ruibao didn't let Taozi go into the water was very simple. Taozi was the youngest and her legs were not long enough, so she could easily drown in the pool.

But the three of us knew each other very well. The real reason why Ruibao didn't let Little Taozi play in the water was because he was afraid that the snails we just fished out from the pool would be stolen by other idlers.

That’s why Ruibao asked Little Taozi, who was still enjoying playing and had just started playing, to look at everyone’s trophies by the pool. But how could the naughty little Taozi be willing to just stay by the pool and watch us play? At this moment, she was thinking

There is unwillingness.

Little Taozi looked at Ruibao, who was playing very happily in the river, and then looked at her legs, which no matter how she looked, seemed to be a little shorter than Ruibao.

Taozi felt deeply aggrieved and unwilling. She thought for a long time and felt that everything should be fair, and at the end of the day, three people should take turns to take care of this common harvest.

Xiao Taozi was about to use her invincible ultimate move, the Lion's Roar in the Pool, to attract my and Ruibao's attention. She wanted to express her strong dissatisfaction in this way.

Taozi Luck was about to roar. Suddenly she seemed to be frightened, and she swallowed back the breath that came out of her mouth.

She had a pair of beautiful big eyes, which were as wide as copper bells because she swallowed her breath forcibly, choking.

A group of teenagers walked over not far away. At first glance, they looked like a group of delinquent boys. They all had long, crooked faces, and they thought they were very handsome. Their slanted eyebrows and frowning eyes had the words "I am" written all over their faces.

Rogue, whose expression am I afraid of?

Xiao Taozi suddenly used her little hands to cover the small iron bucket that was half filled with snails. Her deceptive behavior attracted the attention of these boys.

Tao Zi knew this group of wild children who lived in the compound of the military area. Because their parents had been stationed in the army for a long time, they seriously lacked parental supervision.

In addition, the adults only come back a few times a year, the education method is simple and crude, and the eternal theme is that filial sons emerge from the stick. Therefore, these children from the families of middle-level cadres in the army military compound not only stick together as one, but also act wildly.

Taozi lived on the street next to the military compound. She had been robbed of her toys by these wild children several times in the past. If Ma Rulong hadn't been angry, he helped her fight with these lawless and wild children.

The gifts that Aunt Taozi brought back to her from abroad will definitely be plundered and very few will be left.

Tao Zi has never understood the logic of a bunch of stinky men snatching girls' toys.

Could it be that they, these wild children who don't even bother to take a bath, love to sleep with their dolls in their arms at night?

Tao Zi will never understand that in this era of scarce resources, she, who comes from a wealthy family, goes out with all kinds of toys in her hands.

How tempting this is to other children, to ordinary family children who can only play with peeing and mud for a day. The toy in Taozi's hand is the ultimate possession of her dream.

This gang of shady boys came to the water pool, and the leader, Wang Lijun, recognized Taozi at a glance, standing very conspicuously by the water pool.

However, Tao Zi tried to cover up the situation by protecting the bucket with her little hands, which was very childish. Even a fool could guess that the bucket contained fresh snails that had just been fished out.

Li Jun glanced at Ma Rulong and Ruibao who were playing in the pool, and seemed a little hesitant. The fried snails were sweet and satisfying, and the taste was tempting his body, and the impact tortured Li Jun's taste buds.

You must know that in the 1980s, food was not very abundant, and many families still had problems with food and clothing. Being able to eat toothpaste as a natural product was delicious. This was enough to make these children want to be evil.

Gluttony is the nature of children, but getting something for nothing is the original intention of children like Li Jun. He hesitated again and again, maybe because he thought of Ma Rulong's super terrifying fighting power after his eyes turned red. Or maybe he thought of Little Taozi wearing gold.

Jade, the proud parents who picked her up and dropped her off in the car. It was more likely that she was reminded of Ruibao, the legendary father in the family who was a high official.

After hesitating for a long time, Li Jun turned around and led his group of little brothers towards another group of children who looked easier to bully.

When I was in the pool, I had already noticed the arrival of Li Jun and the other children, but I pretended not to care and played and played in the water with Ruibao.

I finally breathed a sigh of relief when they left. I thought it was going to be another fierce fight, but my fortune turned out to be good. It seemed that the last fight with these little bandits was not in vain.

I seemed to feel that the two scars on my back, which had long since healed, started to feel a dull pain again. I had wanted to get back the toys that they had robbed for Taozi.

Half a year ago, I had a real fight with these guys with real swords and guns. Although the fight in which less defeated many sounded enjoyable, in reality, only I knew the pain I suffered.

Moreover, that fight in which less prevailed over more was infinitely close to a blood-soaked gangster fight between adults in society.

The fight between me and the boys from the military area led by Li Jun was red-hot. My bare hands escalated to killing with weapons.

Li Jun, the birdman, actually carried a small ax with him. I had the upper hand and I accidentally hit him twice with the ax in the back. In anger, I showed off my power and picked up Li Jun, and then I threw him on his back and hips.

Li Jun had never seen this kind of dismissal before. In an instant, three souls and seven souls escaped from his body after being beaten by me.

He was lying on the ground holding a pig's head on his head and breathing heavily.

My clothes are stained white with blood, and the dragon swims in the shallows.

Although he was unable to defeat the four-handed fighter with his two fists, he became more and more courageous as he fought, fearless of life and death, and displayed a crazy spirit.

In the end, the two wounds on my back were not serious and were just superficial wounds. However, the blood flow continued and I lost all my strength.

Li Jun looked at me who looked like a demon and a beast, cursed me as a madman, and left in anger with his younger brothers.

I feel very brave, as if I have the fearless and heroic spirit of the previous martyrs.

However, Taozi and Ruibao were frightened by my desperate spirit and body. During that time, I was like a grandfather, being served by Ruibao and Taozi.

After I recovered, I saw that I was wearing a white shirt and it was stained with blood. I was still wondering why I could start jumping around after a few days without going to the hospital for rescue.

Taozi said to me seriously.

That's because I have more blood than a normal human, so there's no problem in wasting some.

Li Jun saw that I didn't tell my parents or the police uncle, so he later praised me as a man. So today's peace is the result of yesterday's fight.

The two blows Li Jun gave me were not in vain, because since Li Jun was beaten into a pig's head by me, he has been somewhat wary of me.

Li Jun asked the wild children in the compound not to snatch Taozi's toys in the future, so as not to attract the evil lone wolf like me again.

From then on, Little Taozi lived a happy life in this street where she openly embraced toys and no one cared about her. The bloody struggle ended with both sides losing, but now Taozi would not be bullied by wild children.

I am cautious by nature, and I had a grudge and thought it would be better to collect the insurance as soon as possible. I took my little peach with me, who still wanted to play in the water, pouting her mouth and squinting her eyes, as if she was blaming myself.

Leading Ruibao, who looks calm on the outside but extremely nervous inside, has extraordinary acting skills but is betrayed by his rapid breathing.

The three of us returned to my home carrying the rich loot.

My experience of being beaten last time has already been deeply reflected in the hearts of these two girls. The three of us little adults have been silently supporting us until now with the mentality of solving our own problems and never causing trouble to the adults in the family.

The main reason is still the fear of losing the free and happy life now. But Taozi and Ruibao, whenever they think of the blood-stained battle suit that I once had, they still have lingering fears.

These two precocious children, even though they didn't say anything, they still felt guilty for me in their hearts.

My heart is as big as a fight, and I don't care much about these things at all. The pain in my heart has long gone with the wind.

Now I look at myself and the two girls, reaping the so-called fruits of labor while playing. I finally feel comfortable.

Sunday afternoon is a happy and happy time for me. The reason is very simple. I don’t have to go to school and I can play freely and play as I please.

At this time, there were only three of us children at home, but the adults in the family couldn't help themselves. They were still busy running around for life on Sundays.

Section 2 The Five Tigers of the Gao Family

I grew up in an ordinary family of four. I have a sister, Ma Li, who is six years younger than me. My parents are both ordinary workers in the factory. My parents work hard to make a living for the family of four, providing them with three meals a day.

Our family rents a bungalow with its own courtyard facing the street. There are only two houses in this independent courtyard, and the area of ​​the two bungalows is not very large.

One of the bungalows has a curtain directly hung in the middle for my sister Ma Li and I to live in. The other house is occupied by my parents. Together with the slightly larger kitchen in the courtyard, the total is only a few dozen square meters.

size.

Fortunately, the public restroom is not far from my home, so life is quite convenient.

This kind of single-family structure makes me feel extremely comfortable. And my clingy sister Ma Li basically pesters my parents to live in their house every day. So I basically have an independent space of my own.

.

According to my parents, I weighed only three pounds when I was born, and I almost died at one time. Therefore, I was very weak since I was a child, so my father sent me to an old wrestling master on the street early to practice wrestling to strengthen my body.

.

My parents do not want to inherit and carry forward the national culture, but just want me to have a good physical quality. The so-called innate deficiencies can be improved later, and hard work pays off. Now I am in better health and eat better.

From the unfair battle between me and Li Jun, you can see that my physical fitness is at the level of an animal. I even have a small reputation in this area due to my extremely strong body. The average naughty kid is really not.

Dare to mess with me.

The peach's name is Li Tao.

Ruibao's real name is Yang Rui.

Taozi and Ruibao live across the street from my house, but just this step separates two worlds.

The place they live in is not only a private house named after private property, but also a super mansion with a large courtyard with three entrances and three exits.

All the rooms in their house are large, and there are toilets and bathrooms in the yard. This house is said to belong to the Li Tao family.

From what they said, I learned that Taozi and Ruibao were really the so-called descendants of high-ranking cadres, and several generations of their elders were family friends.

So after Yang Rui's parents were transferred to work here, the two families temporarily lived together. Anyway, Taozi's house has many rooms and a sparse population. This makes it look lively.

But during this temporary stay, Ruibao regarded Taozi's house as his own. When Ruibao's parents' work unit divided the house and moved out, she refused to leave. The two adults discussed it and finally put Ruibao in Taozi's house.

.

Both of their families are only children. Taozi and Ruibao used to be lonely and cold. Now they have a deep love for each other and are happy. In short, these two girls are better than biological sisters.

These two rich ladies and I went to the same elementary school at the corner of the street. Although we lived on the same street before, we only knew each other's existence.

We are in different grades, different family backgrounds, and different conditions. We are far apart from each other and should not have any intersection.

But sometimes, when something develops and develops, it may just be due to my own temporary fun and curiosity.

A year ago, I overheard some adults on the street chatting with envy and jealousy towards the Li family mansion.

The content of their chat was nothing more than how comfortable and luxurious the Li family was, how luxurious and spacious the rooms were, and how the birds were singing and the flowers were fragrant in the yard, making them seem to have witnessed it with their own eyes by frequently going in and out of the Li family compound.

There is nothing wrong with gossiping, but the curious young man. I couldn't help my curiosity for a while, and sneaked into this legendary landlord's compound, but it turned out to be an unlucky thing.

I accidentally met an impulsive old man who wanted to kidnap two children while the adults were not at home.

In the 1980s, human beings were simple-minded and easily impulsive. I could have sneaked away again. I was an uninvited guest, so there was no need to act bravely.

But when I saw Tao Zi and Rui Bao looking pitiful through the crack in the door, I was instantly hasty.

My head got hot, I waved my fists, yelled that I am He-Man, please give me strength, and rushed in.

My character was definitely outstanding at that time, but it was also possible that the other party had a guilty conscience. In short, in the end, I relied on my own strength to fight away that old man with extremely low combat effectiveness.

I sneaked into their home, and my curiosity almost turned me into a thief. In the end, a dramatic change made me become their savior.

For some unknown reason, the two sisters did not choose to call the police or tell their parents. There was a hint of unspeakable mystery in the whole thing.

On the other hand, as my savior, I was still nervous about this for a while. Under the guise of continuing to protect them, I went to their house at fixed times every day to eat and drink.

As a result, not only did the two sisters not dislike me, they were both grateful to me. No matter how thick-skinned I am, it is still made of flesh. Gradually, these two girls and I became close friends.

After the attempted kidnapping incident, nothing bad happened again. Being cautious by nature, I never mentioned calling the police to avoid pretending to be involved again.

As time went by, this strange kidnapping incident became nothing more. Tao Zi once told me.

At first she didn't like watching the cartoon He-Man, the Titan of the Universe. She thought the animation was very childish. But now, not only does she love watching the cartoon, but the protagonist in the cartoon shouts out, "I am He-Man."

During the Please Give Me Strength session, she felt extremely excited and happy.

After listening to Taozi's words, I felt that this girl was somewhat abnormal. She teased me with her sore spot. She was actually serious and convinced me of her admiration for me.

As a person involved, I recalled the scene at that time. In fact, my brain twitched and I yelled out this childish slogan.

I just wanted to embolden myself at the time. After all, it was my first time to fight against an adult, so I felt a little guilty.

Maybe the two sisters had no one to accompany me at home for many years, or maybe they really couldn't repay me for saving my life. Anyway, the three of us became close friends. From then on, they became my firm friends.

A persistent follower.

Little Taozi is just a little afraid of Ruibao. Her family has excellent conditions and a comfortable environment, and her parents love Taozi very much. This makes Taozi the representative of lawlessness most of the time.

Once, Ruibao followed his parents back to his grandfather's house in the city where power was the center. Taozi might have been too bored to be alone. So he acted daringly and secretly ran to play in the water pool near Haizi. As a result, he had the experience of entering the water pool alone.

, almost really drowned her.

Thanks to me, I also skipped the last class and ran here to play. I accidentally rescued Taozi. This naughty child only knew how to play silly, but he didn't know that the water in the center of the pool was very deep and many people had drowned.

This incident of rescuing Taozi directly caused Little Taozi to be close and obedient to me again. This is also the fundamental reason why Taozi was unwilling to play in the water after I glared at her today. She looked at the bucket alone and did not dare to play in the water.

Taozi was truly convinced of me as my eldest brother and did not dare to go against my will. Although she was dissatisfied with everything in her heart, a look from me told her that she was a cat and not a tiger.

My younger sister, Ma Li, was happily sent to her grandma's house to spend the weekend by her parents in the morning. After her parents got off work, they would go directly to her grandma's house for dinner and then take Ma Li home. So her family didn't come back until very late today.

The three of us were now faced with the sweet temptation of fried snails, and our mouths were already watering and our hearts were scratching. Little Taozi looked at me pitifully, with a look that said hurry up and stop lingering.

Ever since Tao Zi and Rui Bao accidentally ate fried snails at my house last time, they have been thinking about this common food day and night.

The two of them would never eat this kind of food. The cook they hired always said that diseases come from the mouth. Children should eat cleanly, with low sugar and salt, and no fishy or spicy food. This is their eternal recipe theme.

Taozi and Ruibao eat expensive food every day, which is like chewing wax, and they have long complained and become dissatisfied.

This time, she finally got the opportunity to taste delicious food. Ruibao was impatient and asked me, the only chef in the family, to quickly make the snails so that she and Tao Zi could satisfy their craving.

The three of us will deal with and clean these snails first. Although Ruibao and Taozi are rich ladies, they are very capable of taking care of themselves. They cannot be said to be good at work, but they are willing to sacrifice themselves in order to eat.

Power.

This is also an important reason why they and I have been able to get along until now, and our relationship has grown stronger day by day. These two girls are definitely not pretentious, superficial, or unreasonable people. Princess disease will only appear occasionally in them.

I don’t know whether this situation is due to their inherent nature or the special care they give me.

All in all, the three of us got along very happily, and there was no difference between us.

When I was about to fry the snails, I asked Tao Zi to call the five sons of the Gao family who lived in the yard next to the wall to eat the snails together.

Taozi was reluctant and went to call for others. As she walked, she asked why she should let them share the fruits of her labor.

I glared at Taozi and said.

There are so many snails that I can’t finish them all. The big family is so lively, and having fun alone is not as good as having fun together. If you do more ink, I’ll punish you by washing the dishes for a while.

The family conditions of Taozi and Ruibao meant that if they didn't know me, no one would make such poor food for them.

As the saying goes, rare things are valuable. After these two girls saw the snail dinner on the table, they had long lost the restraint of the ladies in the past. They were in various postures, showing their teeth and claws, and their little hands were very busy.

We, six men and two women, sat around a broken dining table in our small courtyard, like wolves sharing food, each feasting on fried snails. It was beautiful and leisurely.

The eldest son of the Gao family also took a bottle of liquor, ignored the law on the protection of minors, and tricked us into having a few drinks with him.

The two beauties Taozi and Ruibao despised the behavior of Boss Gao and refused to allow me to join their team of five brothers.

The five tigers of the Gao family are extremely thick-skinned, and the five brothers are enjoying themselves. Under the disgusted eyes of the two little beauties, one snail takes a sip of wine, which is extremely beautiful.

The Gao family lives next door to mine. Their family of six is ​​all male, five bald boys, a bunch of men. The youngest, Zhanwu, is the same age as me.

The Gao family can be considered an unfortunate family. In order to have a girl, their parents gave birth to five and a half sons at once. Due to overwork and limited family conditions, the mother died of illness not long after giving birth to Zhanwu.

Gao's father lived alone, raising five sons by himself. You can only imagine what kind of life he lived.

The eldest brother is Gao Zhankui, the second child is Gao Zhanshan, the third child is Gao Zhanhai, the fourth and fifth children are Zhanwen and Zhanwu respectively.

I don’t know what their father was thinking when he named the children. Why didn’t he name a few of his children like Zhan Tian, ​​Zhan Zhan, Zhan Tian?

The long-term lack of maternal love and the world of male competition between the six men in the family have made these five brothers develop the character of not peeing and walking sideways with farting.

The Five Tigers of the Gao Family are somewhat famous in our street. Those who admire and admire their brotherhood will call them the Five Tigers of the Gao Family. Those who hate them will call them the Five Tigers of the Gao Family.

Although I have a good relationship with the Five Tigers of the Gao Family, no matter how I look at the five brothers, I feel that they are more like the Five Rats of the Gao Family.

The five thieves with rat-like eyes were shouted at and beaten to eat the rats.

I originally just asked the five brothers to come over and eat the snails that Taozi Ruibao and I caught.

As a result, the five brothers did not regard themselves as outsiders at all. All the cucumbers, tomatoes, and garlic at home were wiped out by these five brothers. In addition, they added the chili peppers for frying the snails, a plate of scrambled eggs that they selflessly donated, and the vegetable seasonings at home. , was wiped out by these five foodies.

I sympathize with the old father of the Gao family. It’s really not easy for Gao’s father to support five of them by himself when a half-grown man wants to kill me.

I don’t know if my mother will be wiped out when she comes back and sees the house being looted after the locust plague. But the lively scene of people making noise still makes me very happy.

As a neighbor of the Gao family, I was actually not that good with the five Gao brothers. Their house was in chaos every day, and I was cautious by nature and liked to keep to myself. So at first we were just acquaintances.

Very occasionally, I had some trivial conflicts with their fourth son, Zhanwen. Zhanwen didn't agree with me on words. He thought he was a few years older than me and wanted to use force to suppress me.

As a result, I beat him up mercilessly. My actions directly escalated the situation to a fierce situation like one dragon fighting four tigers.

The eldest son of the Gao family, who is not afraid of bullying the younger ones, did not participate in this fight at all. As a result, I ended up with a disastrous defeat. But my unyielding ferocity gave the five tigers a little headache.

Boss Gao stood aside and watched the five of us fight, and said that I was a genius in mixed society. After all, I was one against four, and except for Zhan Wu, the other three brothers were older than me. Anyway, although I lost to You Rong and the others, they were not at all

I didn't get any big benefits.

Boss Gao told me at that time that he admired my courage to take a beating. Being too tired and weak, I gave him a gesture of contempt that is universally used in the world and left gracefully.

As the saying goes, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. After our two adults learned about this incident, based on this principle, they seriously criticized and educated us and made some profound adjustments to us.

After this adjustment incident, we, one dragon and five tigers, understood that harmonious neighborly relations are the fundamental prerequisite for not being beaten when we go home.

We then treated each other with respect and started a harmonious neighborhood relationship.

Destiny decided that I would be entangled with the Gao brothers. I met the Five Tigers by chance on the skating rink. This fate made us embark on the path of deep brotherhood.

When Zhanwu was changing his shoes alone, he was beaten by a group of gangsters because of a verbal dispute. As soon as I changed my shoes and was about to go home, I saw Zhanwu lying on the ground rolling after being beaten.

I remembered what my father said, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. I rushed forward without thinking. I am used to single combat, preferring sneak attacks. After a tactical sneak attack, Zhan Wu and I, who had just gotten up, were successfully knocked to the ground by the other party.

Fortunately, the other four tigers of the Gao family arrived in time and staged a great show of one dragon and five tigers fighting against the heroes.

Otherwise, I would suspect that I am in conflict with the Gao brothers.

Friendship will only become strong and reliable in battle, especially in the common trenches where the enemy is defeated and we win.

After the battle at the skating rink, my relationship with the Gao brothers became increasingly close and we became truly good neighbors and good brothers.

Taozi and Ruibao are partial to me and treat me differently. But they have always been serious about others and have always displayed their inherent princess temperament.

The two of them always ignored the five tigers and turned a blind eye, which made the five tigers of the Gao family extremely embarrassed.

Entering junior high school in the third quarter

I gave Taozi Ruibao a profound education and told them not to dislike the poor, love the rich, or be unloving. The two sisters saw that I was really a little angry, so they reluctantly accepted Wuhu as a friend.

After going through this incident, I realized that these two sisters were the only ones who were accommodating to me. Other human beings are like a cloud in front of these two sisters. Culture, experience, background, and identity determine everything.

Tao Zi Ruibao's abnormal behavior towards others made me realize the gap between people. For the first time, I came into contact with the most cruel reality of society, class differentiation.

Perhaps because their family is full of male creatures, the five tigers of the Gao family are very tolerant and partial to Taozi and Ruibao. They even feel a little in awe of these two girls.

I saw it in my eyes and remembered it in my heart. I once again experienced the horror of class disparity. It would be cruel to kill someone, but when you meet me, you are three points shorter than you. How can you talk about equal treatment?

Fortunately, Taozi Ruibao is kind-hearted. After getting along for a long time, and everyone got used to each other, the atmosphere was quite harmonious and friendly. In Taozi Ruibao's words, they are my followers anyway. We don't see the five tigers of the Gao family very often, so it seems

They are quite pleasing to the eye.

I have no choice but to comfort myself, time is the thing that can best build friendship between us.

Although these two girls are a little bit reluctant to the friendship between the five tigers, but over time they get to know people's hearts. In the future, these two girls will know that the five tigers of the Gao family are actually some very good friends.

The sun sets over the west mountain and the moon rises above the branches. There is laughter and laughter in the small courtyard. The young people don’t know what it’s like to feel sad, and they are sincere to each other. Eight of us children gathered together, and the scene of laughing and playing was extremely warm.

That year I was thirteen years old, Ruibao was eleven, and Taozi was nine.

Living in this world, you really can't take it too lightly, because you don't know what bad things will happen in the next second.

The small gains in front of you will only make people lose more. Only by letting go of greed can you truly have what you want. But letting go does not mean compromising. You must stick to your final bottom line for things that belong to you.

I stood in front of the newsstand holding a thin magazine in my hand. On the cover of the magazine was a round flying object with the words "UFO EXPLORE" written on it.

I took a look at the price on the back of the magazine and was reluctant to buy it in the end. The price of one dollar and twenty cents was a bit hard for me to accept. Fortunately, the newsstand owner was very nice and let me read it for free for a long time.

I carefully put the books and periodicals back to their original places and touched the five yuan in my pocket.

I don't like reading study books, but I am very interested in these kinds of extracurricular books. Since I read a magazine called Mystery at my classmate's house last time, I have become more and more fond of this type of magazine.

Whenever I have free time, I always come to the newsstand to watch it for free, but most of the time I just look at it for free, and rarely buy it.

After all, my family's financial conditions limited my desire to buy. When I turned around and left, I thought that I would come back to buy this magazine when I had money.

Today is my first day of reporting in junior high school.

There were crowds of freshmen reporting at the school gate. The crowds of people coming and going made me a little irritated, so I didn't follow the crowd and squeeze into the school.

I found a corner out of the way to stay, and remembered what Zhanwu told me yesterday. If someone bullies you in the new school, call me by your brother's name.

Zhanwu made it sound like he was the leading brother in this area. I really don’t know how educational institutions allocate schools. Zhanwu and I are neighbors and go to the same elementary school. As a result, we were not assigned to the same junior high school.

Zhanwu went to another school far away from home, which was said to be even more chaotic than the school I was assigned to. Zhanwu was a few days older than me and always wanted to be my brother, but I used to be so impatient that even Zhankui dared

Let alone him.

His fighting ability determines that Zhan Wu will never have the chance to become my brother in his life. Apart from the age difference between me and Zhan Kui, as the eldest of the five tigers of the Gao family, he is really fierce in fighting.

One time he made me anxious, so I was stunned and rushed to attack him. After several rounds, I was stunned but couldn't attack him. Zhan Kui is several years older than me. He definitely belongs to a fighting race.

Years of quarreling have made Zhankui agile and quick. It is said that he also worshiped a very famous elder brother and embarked on the road of mixed society.

However, Zhan Kui is a very particular social person. That time I had a conflict with his brothers, but Zhan Kui never took action and just stood aside and watched happily.

It wasn't until I killed two of his younger brothers that Zhan Kui rushed over to me in a hurry and gave me a few blows, which were quite measured. A few days before he entered junior high school, Zhan Kui said to me in a coquettish manner.

When a young man grows up, do you know what is the most important task of going to junior high school? The main task of going to school is to cast a wide net and focus on fishing, and get a girlfriend as soon as possible. Revolutionary friendships must be cultivated in school, so as not to pick up what others have used in the future.

Yes.

I'm too lazy to pay attention to him. Shouldn't everyone be like him? Besides being a fighting race, he is also a mating race.

Little Taozi was very concerned about my promotion from elementary school to junior high school. Because the annoying little Taozi could not see me again in the previous elementary school. So Taozi’s thinking and logic were weird, she kept telling me.

You don’t like studying anyway and you went to junior high school and just dawdled around. That’s not a dawdle. It’s better to stay in elementary school and work in class for a few years to accompany her, so that when we grow up, we can go to junior high school together.

I thought to myself, you thought this was squatting on the toilet, and I had to wait for her to squat for a few years. I felt my legs were numb after hearing what little Taozi said. This little girl, Taozi, is becoming more and more dependent on me.

I even suspected that she had a serious love affair with her brother. Her family's conditions were so good, why didn't her parents have more children in the first place? It would be better to raise her as the youngest one.

In this way, Taozi has the care of her brothers and sisters, so she won't always bother me. My sister Ma Li doesn't hate me as much as she does. Moreover, this little girl is left-centered and often has whims.

Once she mysteriously told me that she would probably marry me when she grows up, because this is fate. She wanted to repay me for saving my life, and it was best to repay me twice and marry once.

Give me, once married to He-Man.

A few days ago, I met Taozi's mother getting out of her car at the street corner. I have to say that Taozi's mother looks like a woman. Tao's mother is an absolute beauty.

The original version of Little Taozi is just a beautiful embryo now. I can even imagine what it will look like when it grows up.

I politely said hello to the big ripe peach that was as tempting as a peach.

Taozi’s mother nodded to me and said something in a dignified manner.

You are Ma Rulong, Taozi’s friend. Don’t fight when you play together! You must pay more attention to safety, be united and friendly.

Maybe it's because she's usually very busy and doesn't have time to spend time with Taozi, and because of the neighborhood, Taozi's mother doesn't object to us playing together. But I know in my heart that there are differences in families and the world's ups and downs.

I looked at the two bodyguards following Taozi's mother. Their fierce expressions made me want to kick Taozi away from me. I was afraid that if I accidentally provoked someone, I would be beaten into a rotten peach.

Be reasonable.

Although Ruibao is only two years older than Taozi, her personality is completely different from Taozi. She is aloof, talks less, and is not annoying. She is cold to everyone, and only when the three of us are together, I

Occasionally, I can see Ruibao’s truly happy smiling face.

Although I have never met Ruibao's parents, I guess they must be very good-looking. I understand the principle of buying a little pig to look at an old pig. Ruibao is cool and delicate. Needless to say, he has inherited the characteristics of adults.

Ruibao looks cold on the surface, but in fact he is very delicate on the inside, and his eyesight and mind are much more mature than Taozi. Most of the time, Ruibao is like a real little woman, taking care of me and Taozi.

But once Ruibao gets naughty and mischievous, Taozi will definitely be helpless. This time, in order to anger Taozi, Ruibao deliberately said domineering words to Taozi.

She is only two years younger than me, so she will be able to go to the same school as me in two years. And she has good academic performance, so as long as she doesn't dislike me for being a bad school, she will definitely be able to go to school.

In that case, after two years, she and I will be able to go to and from school together every day. From then on, high school, college, and so on, the two of us will truly grow up together, and Taozi will not be able to catch up even if he is reincarnated again.

Ruibao's theory made Tao Zi and Rui Bao scream. Tao Zi was unconvinced and said directly that you two could only stay in the same school for one year, and you were so arrogant.

Ruibao retorted calmly.

We don't care if we stay together for a long time. This year's companionship is enough to be remembered for a long time. The conversation between her sisters made me want to kick them both.

Why do I suddenly feel like I have become the same thing, being fought over by these two sisters? My brother, who is like a nanny, can still take care of you two for the rest of his life.

Anyway, the two sisters were suffering from hysteria at that time, and they were quarreling and talking nonsense. It made me so dizzy that I stopped watching TV, turned around, and fled back to my home.

I was unknowingly distracted and thinking wildly. At this time, I saw that there were many fewer students coming and going at the school gate. So I slowly walked into the new school. This junior high school was really chaotic. On the first day of the school report, I actually

I was lucky enough to meet a student who was trying to steal money.

The only five dollars I have in my pocket is a huge amount of money for me. Three of them were from the last time I went shopping with Taozi. Taozi said in a nice way that she didn't have a pocket for her clothes and left the money with me.

custody,

But the fact is that in the past, Taozi often left her clothes without pockets and left money with me. She almost told me directly that the money was relief money for me.

I wanted not to cause trouble, but unfortunately I still had five dollars in my pocket. If I had known that I would encounter robberies in school, I might as well have saved those stupid tigers a few days ago. Even if I was cruel and bought that

It's better to own a magazine you like than to be robbed.

I was stopped by seven or eight students in a remote area of ​​the teaching building. They touched my pockets when they came up, and told me that if I didn't resist, they were collecting protection money, and that they would protect me in this school from now on.

I pushed away the yellow man who touched my pocket and wanted to leave. However, they were quite well-trained and immediately surrounded me.

There was no need to bear it any longer. This group of campus demagogues, who thought they were very cool and capable of beating, were all lying on the ground within a short time, and several of them cried out in frustration.

Did the beating hurt? What is going on? The promised immortal guides the way, the monkey steals the peach, and the Erlang carries the sword. I haven’t used any of these moves yet, so why am I crying now?

I stood there a little stunned, these school anti-bullies didn't take beatings very well. My brother is Er Ming. Huang Mao, who was squatting on the ground crying and with a snot on his face, said viciously to me.

His brother is Er Ming, and another student from Siyan who passed by followed suit. Maybe he was afraid that I couldn’t hear clearly, so he repeated it again. After Siyan finished speaking, he probably felt that it was not enough to deter me,

Then he added that his brother is very powerful and famous, and you are finished.

This flattering guy with his snapping eyes definitely has the potential to be a little brother. Is he trying to scare me to death with his words? He went to school, registered, and someone called me by name.

Does Er Ming have to be famous? Whoever you like can go. I have heard before that this school is very chaotic. It is normal for students to hit teachers, and it is fashionable to contact female teachers.

There are many work-study students and juvenile delinquents in this school. It is really a breeding ground for gangsters and a promising class for criminals. But no matter how chaotic the school is, it should still be a school. It cannot be said that the first day of registration made me feel that I will be in Fenghuo in the future.

Days passed on the battlefield where the war was raging. Is it the school policy to go to school every day and carry a machete instead of carrying a schoolbag?

The road is long and the journey is long, but I cannot live without money.

I didn't bother with these idiots anymore. I checked in myself and got out of this chaotic place after being divided into classes. How about tomorrow? Huang Mao has Er Ming brother, don't we also have five tiger brothers? Don't worry.

I don't believe they are not afraid if I close the door for them and let the tiger go.

Section 4 The Master of God

I passed by a store selling groceries, and when I thought about what happened just now, I felt that it was all my fault because I was rich. It just so happened that I didn't go to see the master for a long time.

In the belief that money is the root of all evil, I didn't save a penny and bought cigarettes and alcohol to honor my master. My master is old and said he came here after escaping from Hebei and lived alone on this street without any children.

Inside the worst bungalow at the end.

He didn't like to talk about his own affairs, and he never formally allowed me to become his master. Because I only knew his surname, Yu, and the old man was casual and free-spirited by nature, I usually didn't call him master, but called him Lao Yutou.

.

Lao Yutou, who is disrespectful to the elderly, likes the name I call him very much. He said that life is only a dream, so there is too much to pay attention to. Just respect this thing in your heart, don't play it with your mouth.

Ba Nao's trick is to call him Lao Yutou to make him seem friendly.

I think Lao Yutou should be around sixty or seventy years old. He has a very healthy and lean appearance. From the outside, he doesn't look like a man with special skills at all, but more like a farmer.

My father once told me that when Lao Yutou first moved here, every morning when he was working the morning shift, he would see Lao Yutou practicing the moves under the sycamore tree at the end of the street, rain or shine all year round.

In his early years, my father did carpentry work for a period of time in the provincial physical training team. At that time, he and a coach of the physical training team had similar temperaments and often drank together. The coach was a man with real kung fu, and it is said that he later worked in the armed police corps for a period of time.

instructor.

Therefore, my father has heard and seen, and in terms of kung fu, he is still a giant in theory and a dwarf in action. According to his own words, he is quite knowledgeable.

He felt that Lao Yutou had real skills and knew how to do things. Since ancient times, there have been masters among the people, so his father has always respected Lao Yutou.

I was frail and sick after I was born, which caused a lot of trouble for my parents. When I was five years old, my father wanted to be idle, so he might as well let me practice the postures with Lao Yutou. The purpose of practicing well and bad is to strengthen my body.

Without any pretense, Lao Yutou accepted a bottle of liquor as a token of my apprenticeship and began to teach me some basic skills.

He taught me three days a week, and the rest of the time he went home to practice. Isn't there a saying that the master will lead you in and practice alone?

So when I was learning martial arts, the policy was relatively generous. Lao Yutou didn't hit or scold me, he just taught me some basic skills.

The main ones are horse stance and standing postures, combined with a set of breathing techniques. As Lao Yutou said, you don't dare to practice too hard, and you have to practice while maintaining your weak body.

At that time, when most families had ordinary food and drink, Lao Yutou often brought out some delicious food for me, and he found some herbs from nowhere and boiled them for me to drink. He said that these herbs were all good for me.

Good things that allow me to awaken my body's potential and stimulate my blood.

I don’t know if my potential bloodline has been awakened and stimulated. Anyway, my body is getting better and better. My family also knows that I am weak and they always favor me when it comes to food. As a result, the young Ma Li often doubts that she is...

A wild child picked up from the cinder slope.

Slowly, my body began to get stronger, and my physical fitness was much better than that of my peers. I don’t know whether this was due to the effects of the herbs, or whether I was slowly regaining the nutrients my body had lost through eating.

When I was ten years old, Lao Yutou saw that I practiced hard and never slacked off, and set strict demands on myself every day. So when he was happy, he began to teach me real wrestling techniques and body movements.

He said that people who practice martial arts are actually training their minds. They should not be arrogant in victory or discouraged in defeat, and they should never fight bravely. Old Yutou also told me that in his hometown, a ten-year-old boy is considered an adult. At this age, one must have

Be responsible, have courage, don't be overwhelmed by life, straighten your chest and be a man.

Then he generously gave me a small oval stone with dark red color and many golden stripes on the surface. To be honest, this small stone that looks like a stone is really beautiful. Old Yutou told me this

It is the amulet passed down from his master's master's master. There is actually some talk about their lineage. According to the rumors from their ancestors, they were once a mysterious tribe left behind by the ancient gods.

In their time, there were countless powerful people in the tribe. However, as the times progressed, talents with unique skills and special physiques also disappeared along with the long river of history.

Now that their lineage has been wiped out, there are not many people left alive in the world. The kung fu he taught me seems simple, but it is the essence of ancient martial arts. If I can practice it to the extreme, he doesn’t know what will happen.

Because he himself is just a slut who has practiced kung fu half a tune. His master is his uncle. Before he has learned all the kung fu skills, his uncle went up to the mountain to collect herbs.

He accidentally fell into the abyss and rode the crane eastward.

His uncle and master only left him such a small meteorite. Because their lineage was passed down orally, and only two uncles and nephews were left in their generation, so he himself had no choice but to give it to him.

Things that I had never seen with my eyes but only heard with my ears were told to me as stories.

Old Yutou said with a serious face.

This kind of story is a matter of belief or not. Anyway, he passed this meteorite to me now, which can be regarded as an explanation to the predecessors. Moreover, carrying this unknown and mysterious thing with you has the effect of strengthening the body and prolonging life.

.

Of course, what he said before can no longer be verified. I followed him and just listened to it as a story, but I must not take it seriously. But this amulet must be kept well.

I was a little confused by Lao Yutou's deception. I didn't know whether what he said was true or false. I thought to myself that it was meteorite iron. It's so magical. Why don't you bring it with you? The only thing left for the poor is to cheat with stones.

I’m an apprentice. It’s so disrespectful to be an old man!

Old Yutou also told me that Kung Fu should be used to strengthen my body. He was not going to teach me anything that was too poisonous or harsh, so as not to harm me later.

I feel that Lao Yutou is not ashamed of his arrogance. He himself is a slut at Kung Fu, but he still tries to teach me some things but not others.

Old Yutou seemed to notice his disdain, so he told me that although the ancient wrestling method passed down from his family that he practiced was only superficial, the ancient Qi nourishing method that matched the ancient wrestling method was intact.

If I can practice the qi training method to the extreme, I will definitely be unambiguous. At that time, if my body is light, I can go up to the house to lift a roof, but if my energy is heavy, it will be difficult for a handsome horse to pull it. If I fight against an enemy and my qi and strength are combined, my body will be strong.

In harmony with Yi, after going crazy, his body spreads out, and he flies into the air and falls down against the wall. In short, he is very awesome.

When Lao Yutou met me for the first time, he saw that I was very skinny and wobbly when I walked, and I had a round mole on my shoulder. The child was frail and sickly, but there was a firmness in his eyes, and

Behave in a sensible and sensible manner.

He couldn't help but feel sorry for me, remembering the twists and turns of his life. Old Yutou looked at me with an extraordinary face but a heavy burden on my shoulders. He felt that I was destined to never be peaceful in my life, and that I would eventually be home all over the world. Such a life requires practice and tempering.

Physical fitness to resist the hardships of life.

So he, who had never thought about taking on a disciple, accepted me without hesitation. When I heard what Lao Yutou said to me at that time, I felt that I was not suitable to be a human being, but yet I accidentally reincarnated into an adult. I absolutely

He is an unexpected person who is opportunistic and unexpected.

Old Man Yu’s final summary of my life actually means the same thing. Just practice Kung Fu, but don’t practice it too well. It’s enough to strengthen your body. Those who are good at fighting will die by the edge, and those who are good at swimming will die by the water. I practice Kung Fu too well.

People with this kind of destiny have unpredictable fortunes and misfortunes.

But I always felt that this was because I was bragging and was afraid of being slapped in the face by my apprentice. He saw that I was so diligent and hard-working, and he was afraid that I would not be able to practice in vain in the end. So I just found a way to justify myself.

The kind of state he was talking about was a story about him finding an excuse to block my mouth first. I didn't care, I just listened to his words as a story, and I kept doing whatever I was supposed to do.

Lao Yutou never gave me a sermon-like speech after that. In short, the two of us got along very harmoniously. It was not like a master and a disciple, but more like a close friend.

When I arrived at the master's house, I pushed open the door and went in. Old Yutou was very happy to see me coming to see him. After I put down the cigarettes and alcohol, Old Yutou said that I wasted money and don't buy these things for him in the future.

In fact, ever since I met Taozi and Ruibao, I have often bought good cigarettes and wine from their homes to honor my elder. He always said these words to me, which are extremely hypocritical.

I didn’t explain and didn’t talk back, so I just smiled and went on to do whatever I was supposed to do. Old Yutou fried a meat dish and a vegetarian dish, and happily asked me to have a few sips with him. I’m not good at drinking, let alone smoking, so

I poured a little and chatted with him while drinking.

Old Yutou seemed very pleased to see my now healthy and strong body, so he drank a few more drinks when he was happy. I took advantage of the old man's happiness and asked him to teach me some cruel tricks to defend myself.

Finally, Lao Yutou actually agreed to my request.

I saw Old Yutou, who had drunk a little too much, jump out of the door. He jumped up, spread his hands to the left and right, twisted his waist and turned his head downwards, kicked his legs in the air one after another, and then with one hand

As soon as he stood on the ground, his body spun and jumped, then he protected his body with his hands and raised his feet in the air. After landing, his body continued to spin, his hands made a few hugging and throwing movements, and then he closed his eyes and finished the exercise.

Why do I think this is a Tai Chi health exercise? If you close your eyes to do the exercises, aren't you afraid of being knocked away the moment you close your eyes?

Lao Yutou thought he was cool and expert-like, so he came back to me and began to explain the essentials of this set of movements. This set of movements mainly involves jumping in conjunction with the ancient breathing method. The body technique is of course a prerequisite for restraining the enemy, but the breath

Smooth operation is particularly important.

It is said that one force can reduce ten skills, and practicing kung fu to the extreme means returning to nature. Although fighting skills can improve one's combat effectiveness, the actual application of moves is only in daily practice, which plays a natural role in forming exercise habits.

When fighting becomes a habit, it becomes natural. What plays a decisive role is that the body drives the inner strength and unleashes its maximum potential. One word reduces ten without too many words, just one word, heavy.

The heavier and more powerful the blow, the greater the damage. As for hitting acupuncture points and weak points on the human body, those are just small blows. Only when the force is absolutely suppressed and all the energy inside the body is converted into an explosion at one point can it be considered a big blow.

After the explanation, Old Yutou did not forget to remind me not to use this move to hit anyone, but only to save my life at critical moments.

I told Lao Yutou that actually I really like to convince people with my virtue. I don't even wipe or wipe people's spit on my face, I just let it dry in the wind and I never fight.

Obviously I am not very trustworthy, but I am still worried about it. I keep saying that I am young and energetic!

In fact, I really think that the highest level of martial arts training is to convince people with virtue and to defeat them without fighting. Others know that you are very powerful, but you just hold your fists and don't fight, wave your fists in front of their eyes, and then let them

Isn’t it bad to look scared?

I decided that if anyone dared to mess with me again in the future, I would just demonstrate the same bluffing moves I just made to scare them to death.

I chatted with Lao Yutou for a while, and I felt much more relaxed. The unhappy things that happened during the day had long been forgotten by me.

I returned home very late in a happy mood. After drinking, I lay on the bed and fell asleep within a short time.
