At the beginning of 1995, Jianghai City XH District.
As one of the LC districts of Jianghai City, this was also the most prosperous district in the city. Even though in the city planning, the government intended to move the city center towards several XC districts, but it was impossible to win in a day.
Everyone had a nostalgic heart, but anyone who had lived in Jianghai City for more than five years would come to the XH district for a stroll. For example, although it was dirty and messy, it was the oldest and largest market in Jianghai City, the old goods market that sold old books and old furniture, the old street that had the characteristics of Jianghai City, and the old street that sold all kinds of local snacks. Although the river crossing bridge was built, the floating bridge was still in use.
All of these were the things that the citizens of Jianghai City were most familiar with.
After a few expansions, the streets were still crowded with people. The hawking of small vendors, the sound of bargaining, the sound of the demolition of the golden district, the rumbling of the construction site, the long line of bicycles when commuting, these were the first impressions that the XH district gave people.
Of course, if you were familiar enough with this place, after leaving the commercial main street, you would also see the clothes drying in the old residential buildings, the old lady sitting in a bamboo chair peacefully sleeping, the bicycle bell occasionally ringing, the walls of the Boston Ivy, the small garden overgrown with weeds behind the buildings, and the lone fig tree.
When the noise from the distance faintly came, you would instead feel that this place was as peaceful as a paradise.
Of course, it was not peaceful.
Like every city, such an old and prosperous LC district would inevitably breed some things in the dark. We could call them the city's vermin.
But if you kept yourself clean and knew your place, you might find that you were actually very far away from these things. At most, it could only be used as a topic of conversation after a meal.
The world was very complicated, but it was also very simple.
As the old school with the highest enrollment rate in Jianghai City, Starlight High School was also located on the side of this LC district where dragons and snakes mixed together.
In the evening, in a dead end near Starlight High School.
"Bah, bah bah, fuck!
Let's see … where can you run this time … "Sunlight streaked across the eerie alley. In the depths of the alley, five youths who looked to be sixteen or seventeen years old held sticks in their hands as they continued to press forward. The person they blocked in the alley was actually a fourteen or fifteen year old short-haired girl. She held a baseball bat in her hand as she limped backwards. Her left leg seemed to be heavily injured and there was blood stasis at the corner of her mouth. However, facing the five people, her eyes were still stubborn and scorching. If it wasn't for the obvious bulge in her chest, most people would have thought that she was a handsome boy.
The leader of the group of five was a fatty wearing a Starlight uniform. He spat out a mouthful of blood and cursed as he approached. "Liu Huaisha, aren't you f * cking arrogant?
Why aren't you arrogant now?
F * ck, are you going to do it yourself or do you want us to … F * ck … "
"You stupid pig."
The girl named Liu Huaisha retreated as she yelled back, "If you have the guts, come and fight me one-on-one!"
"One on one!
Go to hell! Is your family very powerful?! "
The fatty scolded. "Back off, back off, how far can you f * cking back off? Let me tell you, we've brought our weapons and cameras today. Today, we'll strip you naked and take a few pictures. Let's see if you still dare to be arrogant in the future …"
Not far behind her was the blocked end of the alley. The girl bit her lower lip and tightened her grip on the baseball bat. She was going to go all out.
It was also at this time that a black shadow appeared at the entrance of the alley.
It wasn't surprising that there would occasionally be people passing by this dead end. However, when the black shadow didn't leave for a long time, it meant that someone was standing at the entrance of the alley to watch the show.
The fatty turned his head and saw that the person standing at the entrance of the alley was a short youth. He had already entered high school, but this kid was obviously just a junior high school student. After a few glances, he recognized him.
"F * ck, you're that guy called Gu Jiaming right? What are you doing? Want to stand up for your best friend?"
Ever since he entered the school, Liu Huaisha had been involved in several fights in the school, and his reputation had spread far and wide.
Although this fatty was in the high school, he also knew that Liu Huaisha had two best friends. One was the beautiful and obedient girl Ye Lingjing, and the other was the extremely mediocre Gu Jiaming.
At this time, looking at this kid, he really didn't have any outstanding features. His appearance was ordinary, and his height was even shorter than Liu Huaisha's. He stood at the entrance of the alley with a backpack on his back and looked over. Then, he said loudly, "You, you fought with someone again!" His words showed that he didn't care about the other five people at all.
"Go to hell, get out of here, I don't need your help!"
Liu Huaisha struggled to stand up straight and shouted. A youth holding an iron bat next to the fatty smiled and walked out of the alley. "You still want to leave?
Come with me. "
"You guys, if you dare to touch him …"
Liu Huaisha raised the bat and shouted. The fatty laughed and said, "What's wrong with touching him?
Do you think this is the territory of your father's Sand Bamboo Group?
This is the XH District!
Today, I'll let you guys take pictures together … "
"Gu Jiaming, you idiot, run!"
When the youth holding the iron bat walked out, Gu Jiaming seemed to have accepted his fate. He shook his head and walked inside. Before Liu Huaisha finished shouting, she saw him suddenly push a small trash can cart and rush inside.
The alley wasn't narrow, but it wasn't wide either. The cart rushed all the way, and it was extremely troublesome to dodge. The youth holding the iron bat dodged to the side, but he was hit by two trash cans that fell from the cart. When the cart passed through the four people's line of defense, most of the things on the cart fell off.
Liu Huaisha directly sat on it and waved the bat. Jiaming turned around and pushed the cart out of the alley.
The youth holding the iron bat came back to his senses from the chaos, but Liu Huaisha swung the bat at his leg. He immediately screamed and fell to the ground. The four people behind him quickly caught up. No matter what, Jiaming was only a thirteen or fourteen year old child. He pushed a small cart and carried another person. In the blink of an eye, the four people caught up with him.
Fatty, who was at the front of the pack, reached out to grab his bag twice, but was narrowly dodged each time.
At this time, the cart rushed out of the alley.
Turn.
Jiaming seemed to have lost his balance at the moment the cart turned. His body staggered, and his left hand, which was holding the handle of the cart, subconsciously moved back. At the same time, the fatty rushed forward at high speed and faced him head-on.
With a muffled bang, the fatty's body flew up slightly. Because he was running at a high speed, his body seemed to have stopped in the air for a moment. Then, he collided with a young man who was chasing after him, and the two of them fell into a heap.
The cart ran for its life, turning, turning, and turning again. A moment later, it crossed a road. Just now, it stopped on the embankment of Jianghai City. Jiaming seemed to be out of breath from running. He squatted on the ground and said, "No, they didn't catch up, right …"
"No, you're the best at running for your life."
Liu Huaisha walked around, and there were no pursuers. She patted the youth's shoulder and laughed. From the time she knew Jiaming, this boy seemed to only have one thing that she admired, and that was running for his life.
Of course, at a place where she could not see, which was the entrance of the alley, there was a person underneath him. The fatty was still dizzy and seeing stars, and on his round face, fresh blood continuously gushed out like a spring. Pfft … Pfft …
"I … I want … Kill … Kill … Puff … Help …"
*****
"Why do you always like to fight? Don't you know that they're high school students?"
"Who told that fatty to be so arrogant? He occupied the field and didn't let anyone play. I just couldn't stand it …" Ah, be gentle … "
"You also know pain, it hurts you to death!"
On the bench of the embankment, Jiaming took off the shoes and socks on Liu Huaisha's left foot, rolled up her trouser leg, and was doing a simple treatment for her. He applied medicinal oil, then rubbed the medicinal oil, and massaged it evenly.
The girl patted the youth's shoulder from time to time in pain. Then she lay on the side and nibbled on an apple, allowing the youth to fiddle with her leg. This kind of thing was not a day or two.
"Don't think that you're made of iron. You used a baseball bat to fight four or five high school students. Your family is powerful, so are their families. If it wasn't for the garbage truck that happened to be able to drag you out, I would have run away long ago and left you there to be photographed by them."
Thinking of those guys who said that they wanted to take pictures of her, Liu Huaisha was embarrassed and angry. She reached out and punched Jiaming's shoulder: "I told you not to come over. What are you doing? You're the one who wanted to … Hmph, even if I'm photographed by others … it's none of your business."
"Don't move!"
Jiaming's voice was indifferent. He patted her wound lightly, causing her to grit her teeth in pain. She raised her hand to hit him, but Jiaming stuffed the medicinal oil into her hand, and the apple in her other hand was snatched: "How can you eat an apple with a wound on your mouth? If you don't want to be disfigured in the future, wipe the wound on your face yourself." With that, he took a big bite of the apple and ate it himself.
"Hmph, tyrant!"
With her injured left leg in the youth's hand, Huaisha had no choice but to put down her anger for the time being and apply the medicinal oil to her face. She was often injured since she was young, so she was quite skilled at applying medicine. But no matter what, she felt that she was not as good at it as Jiaming. Wherever his hand touched, she always felt numb and sore, as if the pain had disappeared.
This is what a professional is like …
With that in mind, she laughed: "Jiaming, you can be a doctor in the future. Mama Ye can teach you … By the way, where's Lingjing?"
"Didn't you say you'd wait here? Come on … Being a doctor seems like a good choice …" As he helped her apply the ointment, the young man began to ponder, as if he was considering the feasibility of this direction. Looking at the young man who seemed to be in a daze under the setting sun, the girl laughed out loud, "I'm just kidding."
Not long after, a cute girl carrying a backpack with two ponytails on her head came down from the side of the overpass and jogged to the two. Then, the girl named Lingjing and the youth named Jiaming each helped one side of Liu Huaisha's body up, and the three slowly walked back home under the setting sun.
