The next day, Xiao Mu didn't dare to rest much, nor did he bring knives, so he pushed a trolley and went to the chestnut field early with a pocket and a screwdriver.

When I arrived at the place, I worked hard, and I didn't dare to rest at all.

One morning, both on the hands and on the instep, there were chestnut thorns, and it was extremely painful.

A few days later, the chestnuts ripen more and more, and Xiao Mu couldn't be busy at all, so he said to Zhang Laohan: "Grandpa, the chestnuts have been ripening too much recently, and I can't be busy at all, or you can go with me." ”

"Hehe, I finally know that I can't be busy, okay, I'll help you!"

Zhang Laohan followed Xiao Mu to the chestnut field, saw that most of the chestnuts on the mountain were ripe, sighed and said: "Xiao Mu, look at you, for so many days, I only brought so many chestnuts to my home, and the ground is ripe. ”

Scratching his head, "It's not that my hands are slow, it's too hot, and they are ripe quickly." ”

What Xiao Mu said is true, when the weather is hot, the chestnuts ripen quickly, and they are still hanging on the trees in the morning, and they may fall to the ground in the afternoon, so they have to be busy in the chestnut field almost every day during the ripening season.

After picking up the east side, you can pick up the west side again, and you can put the rest of the work on hold for a while, and this situation will last for one to two months.

Zhang Laohan pointed to the large and small pieces of chestnuts and said to Xiao Mu: "Xiao Mu, you just pick up this small piece, I will pick up the top piece, don't be lazy, if I find that you are lazy, I will clean you up." ”

"Uh-huh, well, I'm not lazy. ”

Sure enough, Xiao Mu was not lazy that morning, and honestly picked up chestnuts.

Because the chestnut is located in the shade and the weeds are relatively vigorous, the dew in the early morning will not disperse for a while, and Xiao Mu did not wear cloth shoes that day, but wore flip-flops.

The flip-flops are very slippery when they encounter dew and mud.

In addition, there are ferns in the chestnut field, and the dry fern stalks of such plants after withering are extremely separated, and they will be red if they are accidentally scratched.

When it was time to go home at noon, Xiao Mu accidentally slipped when he dragged most of the bags of chestnuts to move, and the result was very unfortunate, and his toes were scratched by the fern pole.

I didn't feel it for a while, but after a few seconds, I obviously felt that my toes were in pain, and when I looked down, I didn't expect that my toes had been cut, very deep, and I was about to see the bones.

This frightened Xiao Mu, the whole person was trembling, and tears flowed unnaturally, but he didn't cry, and the whole person behaved very calmly.

Knowing that he couldn't solve it, he shouted to Zhang Laohan, "Grandpa, grandpa, come on, my foot was scratched, I can't do it, you come and help me take down the chestnuts." ”

But Zhang Laohan didn't hear it, so Xiao Mu shouted a few more times, and Zhang Laohan heard it.

When Zhang Laohan saw it, there was blood all over the ground, and it was also on the flip-flops.

Zhang Laohan hurriedly picked some purple stem Zelan, smashed it with his hands and feet, and immediately applied it to the wound.

He muttered in his mouth: "Child, don't get in the way, it's okay, it's okay, grandpa will help you deal with it, it'll be fine soon, it's okay." ”

But the wound is so big, this purple-stemmed Zeeland can't stop the bleeding at all.

Zhang Laohan stood up with the chestnut on his shoulder, bent down to help Xiao Mu and said, "Let's go, kid, I'll help you." ”

But Xiao Mu was very stubborn, "No need for grandpa, I can go, it's okay, don't worry." ”

Xiao Mu stepped on the ground with his heel, limped to the intersection, carefully observed his wounds, and found that he couldn't move at all, it hurt very much.

Trembling to his feet, he reached for the chestnut and carried a bag to the trolley, trying to tie it with a rope.

But Zhang Laohan stopped Xiao Mu, "Child, you take less, I'll pick more, you see that you can't even walk steadily, and you still take so much." ”

Zhang Laohan couldn't bear to watch Xiao Mu being tortured by men so much, but there was no way, because no matter how much he could, he could only pick two pockets, and he couldn't take it away if he had more, and the rest could only be brought by Xiao Mu.

On the way, the villagers saw Xiao Mu limping and asked, "Xiao Mu, what's wrong with you, why do you look so abnormal." ”

Xiao Mu didn't answer, but Zhang Laohan hurriedly said, "Oh, isn't that the toe scratched, it's still bleeding." ”

The villagers looked at it and said in surprise: "So much blood, how did you do it, why are you so careless, and you don't wear cloth shoes." ”

In fact, it's not that Xiao Mu doesn't wear it, but that he doesn't have it.

"Hey, hey, that's because I didn't put cloth shoes on him, blame me, blame me. ”

The villagers scolded and accused Zhang Laohan and said: "Lao Zhang, you are too careless, knowing that it is easy to be cut and scratched in the chestnut field, you actually let Xiao Mu wear slippers." ”

Zhang Laohan may also feel a little guilty, so he smiled and said nothing.

After returning home, Xiao Mu sat down to rest as soon as possible, instead of taking the chestnut down, because he was in so much pain that he couldn't hold on, and he also bled a lot along the way.

Zhang Laohan immediately found the old man and said, "Old man, hurry up, hurry up and bandage Xiao Mu, his foot has been scratched." ”

As soon as the old man heard that Xiao Mu had been scratched, he immediately rushed out, "Where, where has it been scratched, I'll take a look." ”

Seeing that the wound was not small, he hurriedly said: "Xiao Mu, hurry up, you go find some warm water to clean your feet, and I'll get you some medicine to bandage it, otherwise it won't work like this." ”

The old man took some salt from the kitchen, then took some white rice from the aluminum pot, kneaded the white rice and salt, and roasted it on a charcoal fire until golden brown.

handed the rice ball to Xiao Mu and said, "Come, you hold it for a while, I'll go find you a piece of gauze." ”

Xiao Mu has never seen anyone who stops bleeding with this method, Jiang is still old and spicy, no matter what the situation, he knows a little bit.

But there was no gauze at home, so the old man found a piece of torn clothes and washed it to prepare for Xiao Mu to tie it.

It is not bandaged immediately after washing, but dried with fire first.

When the rice ball touched the wound, it was heartbreaking, and Xiao Mu finally cried, the pain was unbearable.

"Grandma, it hurts, it hurts!"

I couldn't help but want to get rid of the old man, and I couldn't help but jump a few times.

"Don't move, you kid, it's almost better, it's better faster after the bandage, otherwise you won't be able to get better. ”

It's not that Xiao Mu doesn't know, but it just hurts and can't help it.

Zhang Laohan looked at it from the side, so he said: "Xiao Mu, you have been recuperating at home recently, don't go to work, I don't think you can do it anymore." ”

Indeed, in this case, Xiao Mu can't work, let alone work, it's difficult to even walk, and it hurts to stay honest.

After the bandage, Xiao Mu didn't eat, had no appetite at all, and went back to the room to rest.
