Hide-and-Seek (Memories of Youth)

When I was young, we often got together to play, playing more is hide-and-seek, at that time we were alone against the wall to cover our eyes, counting to 100, and then looking, at that time most of our families were open during the day, basically who was familiar with which to run, at that time, some of the small ones were not very interesting, not familiar with it can only be found outside.

Later, it was stipulated that we could not run to other people's homes, so we had to find a good place, remembering that the place where we played was built by their family outside, which contained coal for winter, and several of us ran to people's coal piles, covered them with bags, and when we came out, we were all black, and when we returned home, it was a meal. At that time, many of our places were still building houses, so there were a lot of places to hide, there was a place we also tried many times to find out, that place is an abandoned foundation, almost one meter eight or nine high, that place is built with their own mining bluestone, there are a lot of places to catch, at first a few of us are directly climbing into it to hide inside, and then playing, along the wall above the foundation to go inside, this foundation is next to a warehouse, is our side of a business people built a warehouse, We walked to the left of the head is the back wall of this warehouse, its back wall is connected to this foundation, just happened to be the height we walked on protruding a piece, at that time we were small, thin, we were close to the wall can walk back and forth, hidden in this, the little boys generally do not come to see. I remember that sometimes we really can't hide it, can't find it, we all go home to eat, and we can't hide it yet.

At that time, we had more children there, more people of the same age, many older brothers and sisters than us, most of us were able to play, and now that we have grown up, the sky is north and south, many of them can't see each other, that is, when our brothers get married, all the old neighbors rush back from outside to get together, this kind of thing is not much, it is estimated that it will wait for me, if I am married, there may be less contact behind.
