my summer

Although I had a bit of trouble with Fat Tiger because of football, I quickly put it behind me.When Fat Tiger gathered people downstairs to play sheep herding, I happily pulled Xia Zhi to report.

Fat Tiger saw the two of us, didn't say anything, and accepted it with a smile.I think it may be because of the game of sheep herding, the more people there are, the more fun it is.

Herding sheep is actually similar to hide-and-seek. Everyone finds a place to hide within the specified time. The person who lost the black and white match is responsible for finding it. After finding the first person, the person who was found will run out and shout "herd the sheep." La!" Then all those who were hiding showed up and started to enter the next round.In the next round, the person who was found first will be responsible for finding someone.

The gameplay is not complicated, but what you play is heartbeat.Every time I was very nervous and afraid of being the first to be caught.

After several rounds of black and white matching, the loser is Xia Zhi.

We have a rule that we cannot hide in someone's house, but only in the corridor or around the woodshed downstairs.

The loud countdown to the summer solstice began, I quickly ran to the second floor and hid behind an old cardboard box at the door of the toilet.A puff of dust mixed with the smell of the toilet went straight into my nose, I tried to slow down my breathing, and said to myself, I can't find me, I can't find me...

However, within a minute, I was found by Xia Zhi.

I was crying, and just about to stand up, my shoulders were held down by him.He shook his head at me, smiled mysteriously, and then ran away.

I continued to squat behind the cardboard box in a daze, and continued to endure the torment of the magical smell.It didn't take long before I heard the cry of "herd the sheep!"

I quickly stood up and ran downstairs.After seeing Xia Zhi, I secretly smiled at him and gave him a thumbs up.

The second round will start soon.I didn't run upstairs this time, but circled around a few woodsheds.Where is it safe to hide?

Running and running, a small melon shed attracted me.This is completely a natural hiding place built with bamboo poles and melon vines!

I hurried over, pushed aside the thick melon vines with my hands, and quickly drilled in.Unexpectedly, one foot stepped on the other!I swayed, startled, and almost yelled.

"Hush! It's me! Xia Zhi!" The man covered my mouth and pulled me into his arms to stabilize my figure.It took me a long time to react, and I nodded in a daze.Xia Zhi let go of my mouth, still holding me half-armed with one hand.

The melon shed was narrow and stuffy, and we were stuck close together, sweating profusely from the heat.Neither of us spoke anymore, and we could only hear each other's breathing in the darkness.My breathing was faster than his, and my heart was beating so fast that I almost thought it was going to pop out of my mouth.

This time the person in charge of the search was obviously not as capable as Xia Zhi, and it took a long time before he faintly heard the sound of "herd the sheep".

Finally liberated!After getting out of the melon shed, I took a deep breath, "I'm suffocated!"

Xia Zhi pursed her lips and smiled, "I didn't expect you to hide here too."

"How could I miss such a good place?" I said.

"Then why were you hiding there last time?" Xia Zhi said disdainfully, "The obvious location..."

"How did I know you found it so quickly?" I said, "I thought it was quite hidden."

Xia Zhi couldn't stop laughing, "Does the toilet smell good?"

"If you laugh again, I'll beat you!" I scowled, paused, and said, "Huh? If we were found at the same time just now, who will come to find us next round?"

Xia Zhi thought for a while, "Rock paper scissors, whoever wins will find it."

Well... if that's the case, I'll have to pray again that I lose, but luck this guy... luckily luckily...

In addition to herding sheep, we also play many games, such as hopscotch, rubber band jumping, goat jumping, spinning top, hoop rolling, etc. The first two are mainly played by girls, and the boys are concentrated in the latter ones, as well as throwing sandbags and blind people. It's more interesting to play in the dark, that is, it is more interesting to play with men and women.

At that time, in our life, there were no computers, no mobile phones, no WiFi, and the source of happiness was not only watching TV and reading comic books, but also these cheap and simple games.

At that time, happiness was always so simple and pure.

Games like throwing sandbags, which are gender-neutral and can be participated in groups, are also very popular among the children in Tongzilou.

Whose mother sewed a small square bag out of rags, filled with dry sand, and the important props of this game were made.

When I played this game, it can be said that I was handy. I hid the sandbags very smoothly, and I almost hit the sandbags accurately.But Xia Zhi was significantly weaker, and was knocked off the court not long after he played.I continued to run back and forth in the middle of the field, dodging the sandbags.

Suddenly, a sandbag flew towards me, passing over my shoulders, almost, really just barely touching me.

"Zhang Zhuyang, you've been hit, why don't you end?" Fat Tiger shouted at me.

The other friends stopped and looked at me together.

"I didn't touch it, I didn't get hit." I said.

At this time, Xia Zhi had already walked to my side, looking at Fat Tiger who was walking towards me.

"Hmph, still want to deny it? It was obviously hit, we all saw it." Fat Tiger said coldly.

"Yeah, I was standing by the side just now, and I could see clearly that the sandbag touched your shoulder." Binzai said.

The voices of the surrounding friends also sounded one after another, "That's right, if you hit it, you should end up..." "Don't play tricks, be conscious..." "Oh, it's a waste of time..."

I felt extremely wronged immediately, and tears fell down in big drops, like beads with a broken thread, which couldn't be stopped.I sobbed and said, "I really didn't get hit, why don't you believe me...why do you wrong me..."

Xia Zhi put his hand on my shoulder and patted it lightly, coaxing softly: "Okay, okay, I believe you, we won't play with them anymore, let's go."

"Rogue, bastard." Fat Tiger sneered behind us.

Xia Zhi stopped in his tracks, turned around and pushed him hard, shouting: "What did you say?! If you have the guts, say it again!"

I don't know if Xia Zhi's strength was too strong, or Fat Tiger was unprepared, he was pushed back a few steps, and almost sat down on the ground.

After Fat Tiger gained a firm foothold, he rushed towards Xia Zhi not to be outdone, and he could not help but punch him.Xia Zhi's face suddenly became red and swollen.I was both scared and worried, so I hurried up to grab Xia Zhi, with his small body, how could he beat a fat tiger that was as strong as an ox?

Xia Zhi touched his swollen face, pushed away my hand, and rushed towards Fat Tiger again.The two scuffled, punched and kicked together, and soon rolled into one piece on the ground.

I wanted to go up to persuade the fight, but I couldn't intervene at all, so I burst into tears again.

Some of the friends around were in a daze, some applauded, and some just watched the fun.

"Don't fight! Stop it!" Great, it's Dad's voice!I watched my dad come over as if I saw a savior.

Xia Zhi first withdrew his hand, and Fat Tiger also let him go.The two stood up with difficulty, their faces and bodies were bruised and purple.

"Why are you fighting? Tell me!" Dad snapped.

I cried and told what happened. The logic may be chaotic and reversed, but my dad basically understood.He said to me: "Yangyang, it's not wrong for you to insist on your point of view, but you can't be too serious when playing a game. You must learn to act at the right time, which means that you must do the right thing at the right time and know when it's time to let go." let go."

Then he said to Fat Hu: "Fat Hu, no matter what the reason is, it's wrong for you to scold people. If you have opinions or dissatisfaction, you can communicate well, but you can't just scold people."

Finally, he said to Xia Zhi: "Xia Zhi, it's even more wrong for you to beat someone. Gentlemen always use their words but not their hands. Even if we can't be a gentleman, at least we must behave like a gentleman. Of course, villains who swear casually should not Can not do."

When Fat Tiger heard the last sentence, his face became even uglier. He wanted to speak, but he held back.

"Okay, all three of you are at fault, and you two also lost the lottery, so it's even." Dad clapped his hands, "Everyone go back to their respective homes, it's almost time for dinner. Remember, in the future Just enjoy the game when you play games, you can't swear at people, and you can't fight."

Fat Tiger glared at me and Xia Zhi, then turned and left.The other friends also left one after another.

Dad went up to check Xia Zhi's injury roughly, "Fortunately, there is no major problem, just go home and ask your mother to rub some safflower oil on it."

Then he turned his head to look at me, and sighed, "Yangyang, as a man, how can you cry at every turn? This time Xia Zhi will stand up for you, so what about next time? When the same thing happens, how can you cry?" manage?"

I gasped, shrugged my shoulders and said, "I...I don't know...they...they all bullied me..."

Dad held my shoulders and said earnestly: "So you have to make yourself stronger, so that they will not dare to bully you easily. But being strong is not about beating people casually, but persuading people with reason , to move people with emotion, do you understand?"

I seemed to understand and nodded.

"Xia Zhi, you are the same, do you understand?" He turned and said to Xia Zhi.

Xia Zhi also nodded slightly.

"Okay, let's go home." Dad took one in each hand, and the three of us walked home hand in hand.

"Does it still hurt?" Lying on the bed at night, I put my head on Xia Zhi's pillow and asked him in a low voice.

"It doesn't hurt much..." Xia Zhi turned his face to face me, and replied in a low voice.

"I'm really useless, I hurt you..." I lowered my eyes and said in a low voice.

Xia Zhi touched my face, "It's okay, with me, no one dares to bully you again."

His hands were a little cold and soft, and it was so comfortable to touch his face. I couldn't help but bury my face in his palm and rub it gently.

He chuckled, took my face with his hands instead, and kneaded it like kneading dough.I couldn't help but laugh too.

After rubbing for a while, he stopped and put his hands on my shoulders, "Go to sleep."

"Yes." I happily agreed, and soon fell asleep.In a daze, I felt that hand was gently patting my shoulder, very gentle, very gentle.
