The teenager was playing on the West Dam at an age when he peed to the wall taller than himself. The dam is very tall and wide, and pedestrians can walk side by side above the dam. Outside the dam is not next to the big river, but there are large plains, crops and people's homes. The Yicheng River flows from south to north, meets the north mountain and turns to the east.
In the spring, the grass buds on the dam have just turned green, squeezed under the feet of the dry grass of the previous year, as if there is "grass color close but nothing", so there is nothing to play. The spring in Yicheng seems to be too short to leave too many memories.
When summer comes, it shows the abundance of the dam, green grass and waist, a hundred flowers embellished, bee swirling butterfly dance. The dam body winds north and south, like a green dragon waiting to fly, beautiful and spectacular.
In winter, like a magician, a heavy snow is sprinkled, transforming the beautiful Wuhua Mountain into a jade carved peak. The big river is like a jade belt stretching out and remains fixed, and the dam is like a jade dragon lying still, accompanied by the big river.
Catch willow roots in the summer river rushing, and skate on the winter holiday dam. Heba was the most popular place for the kid to go on vacation.

At that time, the teenager's family raised a white pig, the coat was white and shiny, the skin and flesh were ruddy, the lines were symmetrical, clean and lively, and the small tail was rolled into a ''Q'', and a small ball of fresh meat was shed alive.
In the summer and autumn, pigs are herded on the dam after school, which becomes the second extracurricular homework for teenagers.
The teenager lay in a deep grass cage, his mouth was on the grass pole, chewing and looking at the boundless blue of the sky, in a long daze. The white pig next to it arches up the new soil, and the crisp sound of it eating plantain is heard in the ear. The wind blows, the grass waves roll, the white pigs loom, and the mud grass is lush.
The white pig is a good friend of the teenager, and the time to release the pig is inseparable, but at the end of that year, it became the end of the fate of the white pig. As soon as he entered the yard after school, the teenager saw the empty pig shed and the steaming kitchen, and the sad tears fell down.
The teenager didn't even have the opportunity to say goodbye to his good friends, that revolutionary Spring Festival, so fragrant meat (pork was a tight supply at that time, it was also a luxury), and the sullen teenager did not eat a bite.

After the winter vacation, after completing a few homework every day, the teenager went to the paradise on the dam with a monkey.
The older children found buckets of water from their homes, went to a large well to carry water, poured down from the dam, and poured buckets of natural skating trails. How high the dam is, how long the ice track is, tens of meters of skating track extends to the bottom of the dam, there is a flat land at the bottom of the dam, and the flat ground continues to the outside of the fence wall of the house.
So, the boys put down the plow, smoked the ice (playing the top), skated, played the skate, and played with all their hearts. Homemade ploughs, homemade skates, skates are no exception, but also homemade earth skates.
Skating solitaire is the most interesting, often unorganized and undisciplined, spontaneously several children or more together, behind the front of the waist, at the same time all crouched, and then, the leader's shouts began, a small human dragon crooked from the top of the slope slid down, not waiting for the bottom of the slope, often halfway subverted, hey! Nine times out of ten, they all scattered, one horizontal, one vertical, facing the sky, lying on the ground, the last heel, all of them did not know where to fall, and then a group of children laughed and gasped, and then climbed up, some of them stretched out their tongues to lick their noses, or rubbed them with the sleeves of the cotton jacket, and the cuffs were already shiny. Forget the pain, forget to count the nine cold days of freezing.
Of course, bad kids sneak up on their backs, kick or shove, knock out their teeth or break their noses. Pressing Luo (stacking Luohan) is also a very terrible thing, a child falls, go up several, one press one, the bottom child if not quickly get out, there is danger, can almost be pressed out of the fart. Of course, when a clever person looks at things badly, hurry up and howl like a pig, or you can break the siege. Skating on an eight-pronged or belly pier is most common, painful and happy.
There are also girls who are mixed in, but they are more monkey jumping, playing with pockets, playing with each other, and they have nothing to do with each other.
The winter days in Lincheng are short, about three or four o'clock in the afternoon, the sun will set, and the children have been playing until dark and do not see five fingers. After returning home, the joy is extremely sad, how miserable it is to play more hi, what is the end, the heavy are beaten, not allowed to eat, punished, the light are scolded or punished for housework, after all, only remember to eat and do not remember to beat.

Once went to the orchard outside the dam to steal fruit, the second goods teenager was chased by the old man watching the garden, in a hurry to climb up the iron lentillin fence, the old man caught up and almost grabbed his foot, he turned over and jumped to the dam outside the fence, the foot was injured, almost at the same time, the pants were scraped open by iron thorns, a cut on the thigh, the blood flowed, the teenager grabbed the dam soil to cover the wound, the blood stopped, a trouser pipe into two pieces, like a dress of the bullfighting dance. The teenager, bare thighs, limped, endured the pain, and fled home in a daze.
A pair of blue pants was discarded, and an inch-long scar was forever engraved on the teenager's thigh, only for the few sand fruits that had not arrived.

Around the 1985s, a fire in Yicheng burned more than 2,000 residents, and soon another huge flood flooded the city.
The West Dam has many broken embankments, and the water is eastward, and the ocean is like a sea. Geese and ducks swim freely, pigs and dogs float in the Weidero (barrel), earthen basket, sack and other miscellaneous things, countless wooden firs scattered on the water... The city of Yi has been relentlessly tested by fire and water.
The best classmate of the teenager, the family water flooded the golden mountain, he ran to the classmates to help. Ready to lift out the large wardrobe that is soaked in water and half-cut, classmates, classmates dads, teenagers work hard together, hey - up! Classmates sit on their backs in the water with a block of door panels, the teenager holds the wardrobe base in his hand, a toe to stand, the classmate's father holds the side board of the wardrobe, leaning against the wall, this move does not matter, impartial, one piece per person, hehe! Everyone laughed, and the big wardrobe actually "five horses and corpses" scattered. At that time, the wardrobe was all tenon water glue structure, how could it withstand flooding!

The teenager clearly remembered the girl in red who smiled and often floated by the back window, who also lived in someone's house outside the dam. The girl outside the dam, handsome and pure, is the fragrance that ripples in the memory of the teenager. So that when the teenager grew up, he especially loved to listen to the song "Outside the Window".
The story of the vicissitudes of the dam's smoke and dust has flown far with the Tangtangyi River.
Today's Yicheng is already the back garden of the great forest, and the West Dam has long been changed. If Ouyang Xiu of the Song Dynasty did not degrade Chuzhou in the song dynasty, but to Yicheng to do Zhizhou, perhaps the beginning of "Drunken Pavilion" would start like this: "Huan Yi ji shan ye." To its west there is a great river, and a break is built, and the view is very clear and deep, and the dam is also ..."
Once upon a time, dams were free worlds that were released by the nature of their partners. The dam, blocking the flooding of the Yi River, also fixed the laughter of the young man in green clothes, stupidity, frivolity and ignorance.
