Chapter 10: Campus Turmoil and Growing Pains

The excitement of the spring outing had not yet completely faded away, when another turmoil broke out on campus. At the time, I was busy looking for the student from Grade 1 (1) who had come to pick up the ball. I saw him fighting with a classmate from my class, so I rushed over without hesitation. I used a sweeping kick, and the man instantly lost his balance and fell to the ground. Then, I used a move similar to "root digging". He blocked a few times with his hands, but was still hit by me several times in a row, and his face was instantly covered with blood from the nose. After that, I went to support others and knocked down several of the enemy's people. Perhaps they were frightened by my momentum, and no one dared to bother me again. I saw Wang Dong being forced into a corner by a kid who was good at fighting, and he could only hold his head to defend himself. I cursed him, "You are so useless," and then twisted the man's arm from behind. I used a small grappling move from the Shaolin boxing that my master taught me, and the man screamed in pain. Wang Dong took the opportunity to stand up and half-grabbed and half-beat the man. The fight eventually alarmed the teacher and attracted many students to watch. Slowly, everyone stopped fighting. Because of this fight, everyone didn't have a lot of fun on this spring outing, but for me, it was a different kind of "enjoyment". The next day at school, the head teacher announced the result of the handling: Class 1 was asked to pay for the repair of the glasses, and the fight between the two sides would not be pursued. He also emphasized: "In the future, if you encounter such a thing, don't rush to fight, tell the teacher. I won't let our class suffer. If we fight, we will be in the wrong, and it will be bad if we get hurt again." From this incident, we can see that our class has a strong cohesion and the head teacher is also very protective of us. During class, the little gangster girl suddenly said to me: "You fought very well yesterday, fighting several people alone, but why are you always using the same two moves?" I learned from the little gangster girl that yesterday's fight made me famous on campus, and many girls said I was handsome. The judging criteria for girls in that era are very different from those now. In their opinion, handsomeness depends on whether you are mixed well, then looks, and finally whether you can fight. The criteria for judging children nowadays are completely different. It seems that only "money" is the most important thing. After hearing what the little girl said, I felt a little proud and couldn't help asking, "Do you think I'm handsome?" The little girl said disdainfully, "Tsk, you look so mean." I asked again, "Among the boys chasing you, how many are taller and more handsome than me?" The little girl scolded me again, "You are so handsome, and your front teeth are half broken..." She counted my ugly spots one by one, and finally said, "Although I don't like the people chasing me, there are indeed a lot of people who are more handsome than you." I was too lazy to pay attention to the little girl. Although she was beautiful, she was very ugly and immature. Many girls in that era were like this, and the quality of girls nowadays could not be compared. During the lunch break at noon, Guo Qiang found me and said, "Don't eat the food you brought. I'll treat you. Let's go out for fast food." At that time, there were many fast food restaurants at the school gate for 3-5 yuan. 3 yuan was for one meat and one vegetable, 4 yuan was for one meat and two vegetables, and 5 yuan was for two meats and one vegetable. Guo Qiang and I went out to eat two 5-yuan meals. Actually, Guo Qiang invited me to dinner for a purpose. He said that the 9 Dragons were very optimistic about me and wanted me to join them. I joked, "Then we will become 10 Dragons, so forget it." Guo Qiang saw that I was not sincere and stopped trying to persuade me. At that time, our school was very chaotic. Every day after school, many gangsters gathered at the school gate. These gangsters also schemed against each other and no one would give in. Gangsters from other schools and gangsters from our school often fought. At that time, it was popular to "find someone". For example, two students in the class fought, one found a gangster in the school, and the other found a gangster from another school, and the two groups started fighting. The school was accustomed to this and no one cared. It was not like now, when a police car would come to the school gate at any time. At that time, there were very few police forces, and the focus was not on the school at all. The social atmosphere and public security were very chaotic. Now, even if one person dies, there will be a big commotion, probably because of the Internet. At that time, it was common for big gangsters and gangsters in society to kill and injure people. My family lives at the foot of a mountain, and police cars often come to search the mountain and arrest people near my home. One day after school, the little girl said to me: "Do you want to see me fight? And your favorite Han Xiaoxue is going to fight too. Follow me after school today." I knew she wanted to show off how powerful she was in front of me, but I still agreed to her because I wanted to go and see the excitement. After school that day, I saw the little girl and her seven sisters blocked three junior high school girls and started to negotiate. The cause of the incident was probably to steal a boyfriend for a boy. At first, the three junior high school girls were still very arrogant. The girl with the cigarette scar went up and slapped the other party twice, and the two sides soon started fighting. The little girl fought like a boy. She grabbed a girl's hair and threw her to the ground, then kicked her with her feet. The scene was quite chaotic. The girl with the cigarette scar stood by and directed, and from time to time threatened the students watching: "What are you looking at? If you watch again, I will beat you up too!" Those girls were very experienced in fighting, and even Han Xiaoxue, who usually looked very gentle, was very sharp in fighting. The three girls in the third grade dared to fight back at first, but they were beaten so hard that they huddled together and sat on the ground crying. It might be because of the fight between the girls that the school was alarmed. The director of the teaching department rushed over with two physical education teachers, and I quickly hid far away. The girl with the cigarette scar was probably so angry that she didn't take the director of the teaching department seriously at all, but she still stopped. The teacher wanted to take them back to the school for a talk, but the girl with the cigarette scar scolded the director of the teaching department in front of so many people. That courage really makes men feel ashamed. The next day at school, the deeds of the seven sisters of the little gangster girl were basically spread throughout the school. Everyone was discussing what happened yesterday. The little gangster girl said proudly: "See, yesterday's scene, slapping you twice before was a light punishment." I quickly smiled flatteringly: "Yes, yes, if you hadn't shown mercy, I would have died long ago." In the end, the seven sisters of the little gangster girl, the three third-grade girls, and a third-grade boy were all warned and punished by the school. Summer is here, the weather is getting hotter and hotter, and the school is full of spring. The way girls dressed back then was different from how they dress now. Back then, girls exposed themselves unintentionally, without any protective mentality; now, girls expose themselves intentionally, just to show off their sexiness.
