Chapter 10
With a familiar call, Lu Li opened the door and saw that it was Xu Yunjian and a few of them. Although they were very good classmates and friends, they rarely came to his house. Li Xueqing's clothes on his chest were torn, and the corners of his eyes were covered with black green, "What's wrong?"
"I just started fighting with someone." Li Xueqing said concisely, "I saw a golden monkey cigarette box. I was about to pick it up, but some people said they saw it, but they started fighting."
Cigarette boxes were one of the favorites of children in that era. Some popular brands were left behind by parents after smoking, while others were picked up while wandering in Nanshi, department stores and other places. In order to get some better and more scarce, children even went to garbage stations to find them. No matter whether they could find new cigarette boxes in the end, they would be beaten and scolded by parents after they got home because of the dust and smell on their bodies!
After taking it back, he carefully disassembled it, wiped it clean and flattened it (in the era, most brands of cigarette rolls were not even lined with tin foil, which showed the lack of materials), and finally put it in this iron box, which was regarded as a wall by the children and refused to take it out easily. Lu Li was naturally no exception. The one he felt most proud of was several cigarette boxes from other places, such as Yunyan, Panda and Peony. This cigarette was sold for 50 cents in a pack - it was a sky-high price at that time. It was a very worthy thing to be able to pick up such cigarette boxes; Jinhou was like this. It is a brand of cigarettes produced in Shandong (dong), which is rarely seen in Tianjin. Although it is not as precious as the legendary cigarette boxes such as Greater China and Hong Shuangxi, it is also very "worthy".
One of the cigarette boxes is collected for good looks, and another reason is to be used as games: different cigarette boxes have different prices, and priced according to their grade and rareness. They are almost nonsense numbers, invincible in the first-class Greater China, old brands (this refers to 300,000 in production before liberation or discontinued production); 1.5 million in red and blue peony, 1.5 million in the kind of heroes; 300,000 in the big Qianmen, Evergrande, Mo Ju, and other popular brands, between 150,000-200,000. As for Yonghong, harvest, big production, big babies, etc., it is only worth hundreds of tens.
There are many ways to play. The easiest way is to shoot triangles. The way to play is as follows: fold the cigarette box into a triangle and place it on the ground. Another person uses the same triangle cigarette box in his hand to shoot it from the side. The requirement is to turn the other party's triangle over, which is considered a win.
The more difficult thing is to catch it. Multiple people can do it together. Each person shows his cigarette box and determines the order of the attack according to the score. The gameplay is as follows: palms are facing upward, put the triangle straight or obliquely on the palm of your hand, and then throw the cigarette box into the air, and turn the palm of your hand to pick it up with the back of your hand. Children who play for the first time cannot pick it up at all, and the cigarette box falls all over the floor. This is considered a loss, and someone else has to play it - this process is called "receiving".
If you can catch it, you will naturally enter the next step, throw the cigarette box up again, turn your palms upwards, and grab the falling cigarette box back in the air. This process is called "grab".
This is just the simplest way to play. Later, I felt that I was not satisfied and started to add tricks. For example, when I was catching, I asked to deliberately drop one but not to grab it. This is called fixed drop one; there were also talks about grabbing a few, dropping a few, which is called grabbing a few. It takes a little acrobatic skill and talent to grab a cigarette box. Of course, there are masters and low-knowers. Experts such as Lu Li bring more than a dozen triangles out every day, and when I come back, I will have a full pocket; low-knowers are like dogs, and they often lose a lot. Fortunately, he and Lu Li are the best. Every time the latter wins back the triangles mostly into his pocket.
When gambling with cigarette boxes, they use battles. Green leaves level one has extremely low value as bets. No one is willing to take out the advanced ones, and most often it is used as collections. Gouli knew that he had a box of panda brand cigarette boxes and wanted to ask him for it several times, but he used it for all his treasures, but Luli looked down on his cigarette box at all, so he never agreed.
After hearing Li Xueqing say a few words, Lu Li nodded, "Where...what?"
"I don't know each other," Li Xueqing replied, "It seems to be from Qinghe Street Primary School. One is the son of a carpenter at the house management station, and his surname is Zhao."
Luli closed the door lightly, waved his hand, "Look for...go!"
Li Xueqing immediately became happy and followed Lu Li, walked through the alley and headed straight to the direction of the department store. When he returned to the peaceful road where he had just fought for cigarette boxes, the other party's children had long been missing, "Xiaoxiao, they might have run away."
Without saying that Luli knew, his eyes turned, "When is now...?"
He didn't know the watch, but Li Xueqing knew him. He looked up at the big clock on the roof of the department store, "Twelve to twenty."
"Let's go." Luli no longer blindly searched, leading a few people all the way back to the school, but did not go in. He just waited on the road outside the school - directly opposite the school, the so-called Qinghe Street Housing Management Office. The adults inside had just had lunch and sat around, either playing poker or playing chess. The sound was noisy and noisy, "Here you... stared at it."
Although this method of waiting for the rabbit is stupid, it is very effective. After a while, a child appeared at the door, waved to an adult, and walked out of the door with his little schoolbag on his back. "Xiaoxiao, just him." Without waiting for Lu Li's instructions, several people followed from afar.
After walking out for a while, Luli looked back and was sure that he would not hear the sound. He stepped up his feet and slapped the child on the shoulders of the moving forward, "Hey?"
The child turned around and said, "What are you doing?"
"What are you doing? Forgot me?" Li Xueqing glared at him viciously, "Where is the cigarette box?"
The child immediately remembered it, and a hint of horror appeared on his tender face, "I...I I, I, I, I, I,"
"Who did you give it to?"
"I'll give it to our class Zhang Hao."
Li Xueqing raised his hand and slapped the child! "Why are you giving it to someone with my cigarette box?"
The child burst into tears, "...He said he saw it first! Brother... Woo woo, don't hit me!"
Li Xueqing acted as if he was about to beat him, but Lu Li stopped him, "Where is he living, take me with him, take me...."
The child dared not disobeyed, and obediently led the way forward, bypassed the downtown area of Nanshi, and arrived at the so-called Zhang Hao's residence, "Zhang Hao? Zhang Hao?"
A woman's voice immediately rang out, "Xiao Wu, someone is looking for you."
Lu Li and several others stood at the gate, watching a boy walking out of the door while wiping his mouth. Before he could see who the person was coming out of the gate, the clothes on his chest were already caught by someone, and then he looked out, "Hey, who is you, why?" Zhang Hao couldn't help but rush forward a few steps, "Who are you? Why?"
"Where is the cigarette box?" Li Xueqing asked sternly, "That's mine, give it to me."
"Mom!" Zhang Hao saw that it was not good, so he raised his throat and asked for help loudly.
Li Xueqing let him go helplessly, "Don't think this matter is over. Take the cigarette box Lilily, we're fine."
Zhang Hao predicted that the other party would not dare to hit people in front of his house, so he stared at the other party with fearlessness, "Get out quickly, wait a while for my mother to come out to beat you."
Lu Li sneered, raised his hand and punched the sky cannon, which was hitting Zhang Hao's face. Although the boy was weak and he would not be bleeding, it was enough for him to suffer. The latter wailed and squatted down, tears and snot flowing all over his hands, and his voice changed, "Oh, mom! Mom, mom!"
"What's wrong? What's wrong? This is?" The woman who was cleaning inside ran out and pushed Lu Li and Li Xueqing away, and helped his child up. "Xiao Wu, what's wrong? How do you hit someone? Where did you come from? Why did you hit someone just by reaching out? Did he mess with you?"
Luli winked at Li Xueqing, who said the story, "If you don't believe me, please ask him?"
Zhang's mother was stunned, "Xiao Wu, isn't it? Why are you doing with someone's cigarette box? Is there any good thing? I'll pay it back quickly?"
Zhang Hao's eyes turned, he was determined not to repay, after all, he was in front of his mother. Does the other party dare to act in front of his parents? But looking at Lu Li, a trace of fear appeared in his heart, and he nodded angrily, "I... I'll give it back to them."
Lu Li reached out to take the cigarette box and glanced at Zhang Hao who was full of reluctance, "I, Lu Li, are the ones who are very happy. If you don't agree, then come!"
