That was after Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan were eight years old and transferred to Chang Xianzhang's class.
It was early autumn, and the Shui family planted a shelf of mare's milk grapes in the side yard of the west courtyard. The fruit was abundant, which attracted the children nearby to salivate. Many "masters" like Hong Yanwu, who was "flying over the roof and over the wall", were marked.
Milk grape idea.
It's a pity that firstly, Shui Lan of the Shui family always keeps a close eye on him and rarely gets a chance to attack. Secondly, the wasps and grapes also attracted wasps.
Those creepy things with brown wings and tiger-skin skirts quietly grew lotus houses on a bundle of wood piled among the debris in the yard, and would fly to and hover in the yard from time to time.
Although wasps won't sting if you don't provoke them, they are quite a mental deterrent to the children. Soon, out of fear, all the scoundrel-eyed boys were eliminated. But similarly, the entertainment life of the girls in the West Courtyard
, and was greatly affected by this.
Everyone avoids that place when playing rubber band, and they don’t hide in the courtyard when playing hide-and-seek, and they don’t dare to enjoy the coolness under the grape trellis. For this, the girls specifically went to beg the adults, but since they haven’t been harmed yet, who
They are too lazy to meddle in this business.
Finally one day, when she couldn't bear it anymore, Shui Lan, who always wanted to stand out in trouble, came to negotiate terms with Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan on behalf of the girls in the west courtyard. She wanted to use two large bunches of milk grapes to let them help clean up the hornet's nest.
Stabbed.
This girl also used the method of stimulating generals and told several heroic stories in a row. Huang Jiguang, Qiu Shaoyun, Yang Gensi, Dong Cunrui, Yue Fei, Huo Qubing, Dayu... Dayu also counts, "controlling water" does not mean "treating"
Where are the words?
At that time, Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan were also stupid. When they were greedy, they ignored the objective fact that they and Shui Lan had never dealt with them. After hearing too many stories told by Chang Xianzhang, they made the mistake of blind heroism.
The two boys slapped their little breasts loudly on the spot and said, "Aren't you just going to poke that gray thing off? Look at ours!"
Following them, they were about to find bamboo poles. Unexpectedly, Shui Lan had thought carefully and had prepared them for them in advance.
That is a national flag in the west courtyard. Every year on May Day and National Day, it is taken out and hung at the entrance of the courtyard.
The flagpole is made of bamboo and is about 1.45 meters tall. However, the flag is full of holes eaten by small insects, as if it is full of bullet holes. It really looks like it is "stained with blood".
Now that we have this handy weapon, it’s time to take action, right?
Don't be busy, make a detailed plan.
After a group discussion, the children finally made a plan that when they were poking a hornet's nest, for the sake of safety, the girls all hid in their own homes in advance and locked their own doors first.
As for Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan, they were both small and couldn't reach it with just a bamboo pole. One of them had to hold the stool and the other stepped on it to poke. As soon as they finished poking, they hid in Shui Lan's house. Because her family had
Screen door, screen window. As long as you move quickly, the bees will definitely not be able to catch up.
This has been discussed, but now we have to take action.
The atmosphere at that time was very different.
Chen Liquan looked at the hornet's nest with fear, holding on to the stool.
Hong Yanwu raised his hands above his head, holding the cudgel high, trembling as he faced the unknown fate.
But the girls were extremely happy, clapping and applauding behind the doors and windows, acting as cheerleaders.
In this way, the bamboo pole in Hong Yanwu's hand gradually came closer and slower, but it finally arrived.
At this time, he suddenly gritted his teeth and swung the pole at the big lotus pod, up and down, left and right, and stabbed it randomly.
First there was a crisp "pop" sound, then a "buzz" sound!
"It's terrible, Cao Cao's soldiers are coming..."
In fact, even if Ah Man's "Tiger and Leopard Rider" really comes to chase them away, Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan probably won't be more scared than this. At least the "Tiger and Leopard Rider" doesn't have wings, right?
Without even a moment's delay, Hong Yanwu jumped down from a high jump and jumped up. Chen Liquan let out an "ouch", dropped his stool, and jumped up too.
Behind them was a fierce swarm of bees chasing after them.
Fortunately, the shelter was close at hand. Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan rushed to the door of Shui's house in a few steps.
But just when they thought they were about to be safe, they grabbed the doorknob and pulled it - I went there, but it didn't move at all?
Stuck?
Hong Yanwu immediately threw the flag pole and shook it! Pushed it! Kicked it again! Damn it! It still doesn’t move!
Why is this door locked from the inside?
Looking again, Shui Lan was clapping her hands and laughing so hard through the door!
Now I understand everything, this little girl! She is so evil-minded!
Soon, Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan were all bitten to the point of grinning, and they began to run around.
But every room was locked tightly. I don't know if the girls were afraid or if they had made arrangements in advance, but no one opened the door for them.
What was even more unfortunate was that when Chen Liquan saw that the momentum was wrong, he turned around and ran to the front yard. Hong Yanwu ran after him, and in panic, he actually somersaulted into the grape trellis.
There was a "stab" sound, and his pants were actually scratched by the kidnapper's wire. Now he couldn't even run away, and he became a human target.
It’s over! It’s over!
Hong Yanwu's heart suddenly became dark, which was so refreshing! Facing the dark and numb area in front of him, he could no longer suppress his fear and began to cry loudly!
But at this moment, the savior appeared!
Shui Qing, who had just returned from outside, saw a scene just like Yang Zaixing's horse trapped in Xiaoshang River as soon as he entered the hospital.
It is impossible to say that she is not frightened. But some people are born with the ability to do big things. The more urgent the situation is, the more they can exert their unimaginable power.
Shui Qing really had the quick wit of "Sima Guang smashed the vat". Without saying a word, he picked up the flag pole from the ground, opened it, rushed towards Hong Yanwu and danced wildly. Then he put the flag into his hand and asked him to
Use this to protect yourself for the time being.
Then, Shui Qing picked up a broomstick next to the wall, put it on fire in the stove in the yard, and then started fumigating the wasps with the smoke.
Needless to say, this was of course a very effective way to prescribe the right medicine. After a while, peace and quiet finally returned to the yard.
Looking at Hong Yanwu at this time, he looked unprecedentedly desolate.
There were two bites on both eyelids, and they were as swollen as small peaches, and I couldn't even open my eyes. But the tears were still pouring. Seeing that, I had to dry up my tear ducts.
In addition, his trousers were also torn, with a big hole opening from the trouser pocket to his knees, revealing a leg that was covered in bruises. He was an upright and undoubtedly unlucky guy.
This incident even caused Hong Yanwu's psychological sequelae.
First, he has had a prejudice against women since then. He believes that most women are born to be deceitful, and he especially hates Shui Lan to his core.
Second, he disliked things that buzzed very much from then on. From now on, whether it was flies, mosquitoes, or vacuum cleaners, hearing them gave him a headache and he hated them.
But on the other hand, Hong Yanwu was also more grateful to Shui Qing. It is no exaggeration to say that Shui Qing was like his savior.
If it hadn't been for the appearance of this big sister and his clever and heroic fight against the wasps, even if he could have saved his life, his bag would have been at least n times larger.
Just this kind of burning pain, the gnawing itch that multiplied several times, was simply not something a child like him could bear. He would have to endure the pain to death.
In addition, Hong Yanwu was quite satisfied with the way Shui Qing handled the incident afterwards.
After figuring out the cause and effect, Shui Qing not only "stabbed" Shui Lan so hard in front of Hong Yanwu that she even scolded her and cried. Then when she went to the Hong family and Chen family to apologize, she also
Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan each received a basket full of milk grapes.
Especially when Shui Qing was rubbing vinegar on Hong Yanwu's wounds and mending his pants stitch by stitch, Hong Yanwu could clearly see that Shui Qing's neck and arms were also stung with patches of redness and swelling...
This is proof of Shui Qing's kindness. This is Shui Qing's two rescues of Hong Yanwu.
Even after many years, most of the details of these two incidents are still fresh in Hong Yanwu's memory, as if everything is right in front of his eyes.
So even though he didn't know what happened to the child Shuiqing brought back, he still completely believed in Aunt Bian's explanation.
In his eyes, there is probably no one in the world who is more compassionate and helpful than this big sister. No dirty water should be poured on her head.
What's more, having said that, what if things are really as everyone speculates?
This kind of thing means nothing. It can only show that women are the weak ones who have been hurt. They should be understood and sympathized with. And Shui Qing is always the one he is grateful for. The more difficult he encounters, the more he should
Give me a hand.
It's a pity that in fact, in his previous life, Hong Yanwu didn't understand Shui Qing's future fate.
This is because it was already 1981 when he returned home from Christianity. Moreover, at that time, he could only be described as selfish. Apart from himself, he had nothing else in his heart.
He didn't remember the child Shui Qing brought back, nor did he know that Shui Qing went to college. He didn't even remember whether he had seen Shui Qing again.
The only thing that left a vague impression was that before he was imprisoned again, the Shui family seemed to have moved away from the West Courtyard.
