As one of the old urban areas of Jianghai City, it is also the most prosperous area in the city. Even in the urban planning, the government intends to move the city center to several new urban areas, but after all, it is impossible to compete in one day.
achievement.
Everyone is nostalgic, but those who have lived in Jianghai City for more than five years will often come to Xinhua District for shopping. For example, although it is dirty, it is the oldest and largest Shalankou Vegetable Market in Jianghai City.
The flea market that resells old books and old furniture, the old street that has Jianghai characteristics and sells various local snacks, and the pontoon bridge that is still in use today despite the construction of the bridge across the river. All of these are some of the things that Jianghai citizens are most familiar with.
thing.
Even after several expansions, the streets are still bustling and crowded, the hawking of vendors, the sound of bargaining, the sound of demolition in prime locations, the roar of construction sites, and the long queues of bicycles on the way to and from get off work. These are the first impressions that Xinhua District gives to people. .
Of course, if you are familiar enough with this place, after leaving the main commercial street, you will also see clothes hanging to dry in the old residential buildings, old ladies sitting peacefully in bamboo chairs, bicycle bells ringing occasionally, and walls
The ivy above, the small flower bed overgrown with weeds behind the building, and the lone fig tree. When the distant noise is faintly heard, you will feel that this place is as peaceful as a paradise.
Of course, it is actually not peaceful.
Like every city, such an old city where antiquity and prosperity coexist will inevitably breed some things in the darkness, which we can call the city's worms. Prostitutes, drugs, firearms, gangs, etc. in the police station.
According to the records, the number of crimes here remains high every year.
But if you keep yourself clean and behave yourself, you may find that you are actually far away from these things. At most, they can only be used as conversation materials after dinner. Because maybe a young man who has just taken drugs will greet you very familiarly when he comes downstairs.
In your mind, a drug lord with half a kilogram of heroin is just a kind neighbor who can joke around every day. The young man who just went out to kill people seems to you to be just a junior high school graduate.
Young men who are busy looking for jobs... until they disappear inexplicably one day, when you chat with others, you will only casually say a few words such as: "Oh, I went to Hainan Island to do business."
.
The world is very complex, but it is also very simple.
As an old and prestigious school with the highest admission rate in Jianghai City, Xinghui High School is located on the side of this old city where dragons and snakes are mixed.
In the evening, in a dead end near Xinghui High School.
"Bah, ah, fuck! Let me see where you can run this time..." The sun slanted across the gloomy alley. Deep in the alley, five young men who looked to be sixteen or seventeen years old were holding sticks.
, kept approaching, but the person they blocked in the alley was a short-haired girl of fourteen or fifteen years old, holding a bat in her hand, limping back, her left leg looked
She was seriously injured when she woke up, with blood stasis at the corner of her mouth. However, facing five people, her eyes were stubborn and burning. If it weren't for the obvious bulge on her chest, most people would probably think of her as a handsome boy.
The leader of the five was a fat man wearing a Xinghui school uniform. He was spitting blood from his mouth and approaching with curses: "Liu Huaisha, aren't you fucking arrogant? Why aren't you arrogant now? Fuck,
Do you do it yourself or let us do it...fuck..."
"You dead pig." The girl named Liu Huaisha stepped back and scolded her back without showing any signs of weakness. "If you have the guts, come here and fight!"
"Single challenge! Go to hell, your family is a gangster!" The fat man scolded, "Back off, back off, how far can you go? Let me tell you, we have all the guys with us today.
Yes, I brought a camera with me. I have to take off your clothes and take a few pictures today to see if you dare to be arrogant in the future..."
Not far behind was the blocked alley. The girl clenched her lower lip with her teeth and tightened her grip on the bat in her hand, planning to fight for her life. At this moment, a black shadow appeared at the entrance of the alley.
It is not surprising that people occasionally pass by outside this dead end. However, when the black shadow does not go away for a long time, it means that someone is standing at the entrance of the alley to watch the excitement. The fat man turned his head and saw a short man standing at the entrance of the alley.
The young man has already entered high school, but this kid is obviously just a junior high school student. After a few glances, he recognized him.
"Fuck, you are that guy named Gu Jiaming, right? What are you doing, do you want to help your best friend?"
From the moment he entered the school, Liu Huaisha got into several fights in the school and became famous. Although the fat man was in the high school, he also knew that Liu Huaisha had two best friends, one was a beautiful and obedient girl
Ye Lingjing, the other one, is Gu Jiaming, who is extremely mediocre in every aspect.
Looking at it at this time, it turned out that this child did not stand out in the slightest. His appearance was ordinary, and his current height was even lower than that of Liu Huaisha. He stood at the entrance of the alley with a schoolbag on his back and looked over, and then said loudly: "You,
You got into a fight with someone again!" In his words, he didn't even take the other five people seriously.
"Go to hell, get out of here, don't worry about it!" Liu Huaisha barely stood up straight and shouted, but a young man holding an iron rod next to the fat man smiled and walked out of the alley.
: "Still want to leave? Come over together."
"If you guys dare to touch him..."
Liu Huaisha raised the bat and shouted loudly. The fat man laughed and said: "What's wrong with touching him? Do you think this is on the territory of your father's Shazhu Gang? This is Xinhua District! Today I will let you shoot together."
*…”
"Gu Jiaming, you idiot, run away!"
When the young man holding the iron rod walked outside, Gu Jiaming seemed to have accepted his fate. He shook his head and walked inside. Before Liu Huaisha finished shouting, he saw him suddenly pushing a car aside.
The trolley holding the trash can rushed inside.
The alley was either narrow or wide. This small cart was rushing all the way, but it was extremely troublesome to avoid it. The boy holding the iron rod stepped aside to avoid it, but was hit by two waste trash cans that fell from the cart.
, when the car passed the defense line of Fatty and the other four people, most of the things on the car fell off. Liu Huaisha sat directly on it, swinging the bat wildly, Jia Ming turned around, pushed the car and rushed towards it.
Outside the alley.
The young man holding the iron rod just came back to his senses from the commotion, but Liu Huaisha swung the rod on his leg. He immediately screamed and fell to the ground. However, the four people behind him quickly caught up.
, Jiaming was just a boy of thirteen or fourteen. He pushed a small car and picked up another person. In the blink of an eye, he was chased by the four people. The fat man who rushed in front reached out twice to grab his schoolbag.
, were only narrowly avoided. At this moment, the car rushed out of the alley.
Turn.
It seemed that he lost his balance at the moment when the car turned. Jiaming's body staggered, and his left hand that was originally holding the push handle of the car subconsciously raised back. At the same time, the fat man rushed up at high speed and faced his face.
With a muffled bang, the fat man's body flew up slightly. Since he was running at high speed, the body seemed to have stayed in the air for a moment, and collided with a young man chasing behind him. The two fell together.
group.
The car ran like crazy, turning, turning, and turning again. After a while, it crossed a road and finally stopped on the embankment of Jianghai City. Jia Ming seemed to be out of breath from running, and squatted on the ground and said: "
No, I'm not chasing you..."
"No, you are the best at running away."
Liu Huaisha walked around, and there were no pursuers. She patted the young man on the shoulder and said with a smile. From the time she met Jiaming, there seemed to be only one thing about this boy that she admired, and that was running away.
Of course, in a place she didn't see, that is, at the entrance of the alley, there was a person lying underneath him. The fat man was still dizzy and his eyes were filled with stars. On his round face, blood continued to flow out like a Baotu Spring.
"Why do you like fighting so much when you have nothing to do? Do you know they are high school students?"
"Why is that fat man so arrogant? He occupies the court and prevents others from playing. I just can't stand it... Yeah, please be gentle..."
"You also know it hurts, it hurts you to death!"
On the bench on the sea wall, Jia Ming took off the shoes and socks on Liu Huaisha's left foot, lifted up her trouser leg, and was doing a simple treatment for her, applying medicated oil, then kneading the medicated oil, and massaging her
Evenly. From time to time, the girl slapped the boy's shoulder in pain, and then lay down on the side, chewing an apple, and let the boy play with her legs. This kind of thing didn't happen for a day or two.
"Don't think that you are made of iron. You can use a bat to challenge four or five high school students. Your family is a gangster, and so is their family. If there hadn't been a garbage truck to drag you out, I would have run away long ago.
Leave you alone and be photographed by them."
Remembering what those guys said about filming her*, Liu Huaisha felt embarrassed and reached out and hit Jiaming on the shoulder: "I told you not to come over. Why? It was you who wanted to... Humph, I
Even if you are photographed by others... you don’t have to worry about it.”
"Don't move!" Jia Ming's voice was calm, and he patted her injured area gently. The pain immediately made her grin and she raised her hand to hit her, but Jia Ming stuffed the medicinal oil in her hand and put it in the other hand.
The apple was snatched away: "If there is a wound on the side of your mouth, why eat an apple? If you don't want to lose your appearance in the future, just wipe it on your face yourself." After saying that, he took a hard bite of the apple and started eating it himself.
"Humph, tyrant!" The injured left leg was caught in the opponent's hand. The situation was stronger than the opponent's. Huaisha had no choice but to temporarily put down her temper and poured medicated oil on her face. She had been injured frequently since she was a child. At this time
He is quite skilled at applying medicine, but no matter what, he always feels that he is not as good as Jiaming. Wherever his hand rubs, he always feels sore and numb, and the pain seems to have disappeared.
This is a professional...
With this thought in her mind, she laughed: "Jia Ming, you might as well be a bruises doctor in the future. It just so happens that Mother Ye can teach you... By the way, where is Lingjing?"
"I promised to wait here, come here soon... Becoming a doctor seems to be a good choice..." While helping her apply the medicinal oil, the young man began to think deeply, seeming to be considering the feasibility of this direction.
Seeing the boy's dull and thoughtful expression in the sunset, the girl burst into laughter and said, "You're just kidding."
Not long after, a cute girl carrying a schoolbag and two braids on her head came down from the overpass on one side and trotted to the two of them. Then, the girl named Lingjing and the boy named Jiaming
Each person helped up one side of Liu Huaisha's body, and the three of them walked slowly towards home in the light of the setting sun.
