"Meow, meow. He Long stood outside the courtyard of He Qiu's house, shouting hard.

After a while, He Qiu crept out.

"Don't scream, call my mom again and you'll find out. He Qiu said in a low voice.

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a female voice in the house shouting, "He Qiu, you are not allowed to swim in the pond, do you know?"

"Got it. He Qiu subconsciously replied.

After answering, he reacted, and it turned out that his mother had already found out.

"Hehe, He Qiu, let's go play. ”

"Where to play?"

"How about going to the barnyard? Last time I found an egg in the haystack in the barn. He Long said.

"Really?"

He Qiu immediately became excited when he heard this, it doesn't matter if the chicken is not an egg, what matters is the process of discovering the egg.

Almost every family in the village has chickens, and there are always some unintelligent chickens that lay eggs everywhere.

Picking up eggs has also become a pleasure.

Of course it's true, it's not bad yet, and I brought it back to my mom and cooked it for me.

"Let's go and see if there's anything left. ”

So at noon, the two boys braved the scorching sun and drilled everywhere in the haystacks of the barn.

After a while, the two of them were sweating, and their faces were even whiter and blacker.

As for the eggs, none of the was found.

"Don't play anymore. ”

He Long tugged at the clothes that were clinging to his body, and the plush of the straw made him extremely uncomfortable.

He Qiu is no better.

"What's that for?"

There are too few friends in the village, and no one else can play.

"Why don't we shoot the slingshot, by the way, what about your slingshot?"

Speaking of He Qiu's slingshot, He Long was full of envy.

He Qiu's slingshot was made for him by his father He Da, it was of good quality and beautiful, He Long always wanted one, but no one helped him make it.

"No, I can't. He Qiu refused when he heard this.

"My mom wants to know that my slingshot is still there, and she'll definitely confiscate it. ”

It turned out that the last time He Qiu played with a slingshot, he broke a piece of the glass at home.

Frightened, he ran away and secretly hid the slingshot outside.

Sure enough, when he got home, her mother angrily asked him to hand in the slingshot.

He lied and said he had lost it, and his mother didn't ask again.

In fact, He Qiu's mother probably knows what is going on.

"If you don't play, just give it to me, and I'll exchange it for you with my elf contract card. ”

"Don't. ”

"Change, change. ”

He Long followed behind and kept pleading.

"Peaches, what are you eating?" suddenly He Qiu shouted to a small person in front of him.

The little man who was eating in front of him was startled.

When he turned around and saw He Qiu and He Long, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Brother He Qiu, Brother He Long. Momoko squealed obediently.

"I'm eating tomatoes, do you want to eat them?"

She held up a green tomato in her hand, and in her other hand there was another one that had been bitten down, the same cyan.

"This is green, how can you eat it? Tomatoes should be eaten red, don't you know?" He Qiu asked strangely.

"That's right, the green ones are sour, and the teeth will be sore. He Long echoed.

When he thought of green tomatoes, saliva secreted from his mouth, and he felt like he was souring his teeth.

"But...... But there's no red one in the vegetable patch. "Peaches is ignorant.

She also doesn't like to eat green tomatoes.

"Let's go, go to my vegetable patch, I have it in my field. He Qiu waved his hand and took the lead.

Momoko was stunned for a moment.

"Hurry up, I want to eat too, I'm looking for a super large. He Qiu turned around and urged.

"Oh, good. Peaches hurriedly followed on her short legs.

He Qiu's vegetable patch is not far away.

Soon it will be there.

Rural areas are basically like this, vegetable plots are generally close to homes, so it is convenient to eat vegetables, and it is impossible to plant them in distant polders.

In He Qiu's vegetable field, there are not only tomatoes, but also cucumbers.

The three little ones were squatting in the vegetable patch, picking up the ripe ones.

I don't wash it, I rub it on my body and eat it directly.

It's so sweet, it's delicious.

The three of them sat on the ridge and ate to their heart's content.

"Peach, you can go play with us. He Qiu said.

Momoko shook her head, "Grandma told me to come home early." ”

"Oh, then you can go back, but when will Brother Sihai come back?"

Momoko was at a loss when she heard this, because she didn't know either.

Seeing the appearance of the peach, He Qiu didn't ask again.

Instead, he rushed to the vegetable patch again and picked a few tomatoes and two cucumbers.

Stuffed into Peaches' arms, "This is for you to eat, if you want to eat it in the future, come to me, I invite you." ”

He Qiu patted his chest generously.

"And me, I have it at home, I still have watermelons at home, I invite you to eat watermelons. Not to be outdone, He Long said.

"Okay, thank you, Brother He Qiu, Brother He Long. Momoko laughed happily, she was so happy.

Then I hugged a lot of things and happily went home and told my grandmother that I had gone.

Watching Peaches leave, He Long pestered He Qiu again to talk about the slingshot.

He Qiu was entangled by him and couldn't help it.

Finally, when he saw the pond on the side of the road, he pointed to the pond and said, "Let's swim in a competition, swim from this side to the other side, and if you swim over me first, I will give you a slingshot." ”

He is very confident in his swimming skills.

"However, your mother said that you were not allowed to swim in the pond. He Long hesitated.

"If you don't say it, if I don't say it, how will she know?" He Qiu said disapprerovingly.

As he spoke, he walked towards the pond.

"He Qiu, or ...... Forget it. He Long grabbed him and said.

"Do you still want a slingshot?" asked He Qiu with a smile.

A smug face.

He Long hesitated when he heard this, he thought about it for a long time.

The slingshot is one of the toys that boys dream of when they are young.

So I thought about it and finally agreed.

So the two stripped naked and jumped into the pond with their bare butts.

Wear clothes, non-existent.

Rural children often go to the pond bare-bottomed, and as for swimming trunks, they have never heard of it, and as for underwear, they do not exist.

"I count to three, and then I start. The two stood in the shallow water, and He Qiu wiped a handful of water droplets on his face and said.

The cool water of the pond will let the summer heat melt away.

"Good. He Long waited for him when he heard this.

"One...... Three. ”

He Qiu rushed out directly.

"You're cheating. He Long hurriedly waved his arm to catch up.

"Haha. ”

He Long in front will stroke breaststroke, sidestroke, and backstroke......

You can see that his swimming skills are really good.

However, good swimmers drowned.

Halfway through the swim, He Qiu suddenly sank.

At first, He Long thought He Qiu was playing with him.

Diving scared him.

"He Qiu, He Qiu, don't scare me, come out, I don't want your slingshot, don't play......"

He Long was crying and looking for it in a panic.

At the same time, the rescue time was delayed.

When he hurried home to call the adults.

He Qiu had already drowned.

When the pond was drained and the corpse was fished up, it was already soaked white and did not look human.

He Long was frightened by this, and suddenly fell ill.

When He Sihai heard what happened, he was also frightened into a cold sweat, but it was a shame that Peaches went home to find her grandmother that day and didn't go with them.

Or else, Peaches......

He didn't dare to think about it.

Still, thank you for taking care of Peaches.

He Sihai reached out and touched He Qiu's head, and found that there was not much difference from a real person.
