After a long time, the two set off again.

After going back and forth a few times, Xiao Mu was so tired that he couldn't keep up with Wan Rong, three steps and a small rest, and ten steps and a big rest.

"Hehe, I wasn't very motivated just now, why can't I do it now!"

Xiao Mu threw the kettle, sat down on the dusty dirt road and said, "Oh, no, no, no, I don't have the strength, I can't pick it up." ”

At this time, it was still far from home, only a few hundred meters out of the canal, and when I looked up at the winding and steep mountain road, my legs could not help but tremble.

Wan Rong wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead and said to Xiao Mu: "Get up, go, I'll let you rest after this trip." ”

Xiao Mu, who was exhausted, even lay down, but didn't leave.

Wan Rong thought about it, there is no way to go on like this, he can't wait for Xiao Mu, if he has to wait for Xiao Mu to go together, then so many water tanks have to pick half a month to fill with water.

So he said to Xiao Mu: "Xiao Mu, how can you pick and choose what you like, I can't wait for you, I'll go back first." ”

Xiao Mu wanted to go back with Wan Rong, but he thought that he couldn't keep up, so it was better to go back while playing.

"Go, go, I'll come back slowly by myself, leave me alone. ”

Along the way, Xiao Mu stopped and stopped, and when he met strangers, he avoided them, and if he couldn't avoid them, he bowed his head and never dared to stop and talk.

When I got home, it was dusk.

Wan Rong asked, "What's the matter, isn't it fun, will it continue tomorrow?"

Xiao Mu dared to promise Wan Rong, it was difficult to hold on for a day, let alone for a few days, and hurriedly refused: "No, no, you can go by yourself, my shoulders are too small, I can't carry such a big responsibility." ”

Between the words, Xiao Mu felt a sharp pain in his shoulder, like a thousand ants biting.

"Ahh

He shouted and turned his head to look over his shoulder, but he didn't see anything.

He took off his shirt and leaned naked to Wan Vieng's side, asking for Vang Vieng's help to see what was going on.

Seeing that his Xiao Mu's shoulders were a little bloated, and he could obviously see the bloodshot in the bloated place, he reached out to touch it, "Does it hurt?"

Xiao Mu shouted so hard that he was crying blood.

With tears in his eyes, he complained: "I told you to see, but I didn't ask you to touch it, it hurt me to death." ”

Zhang Laohan just came back from farm work, and when he saw Xiao Mu screaming, he stepped forward and asked, "What's wrong, what's it called, what's there to call it?"

Wan Rong, who saw Zhang Laohan coming back, left silently.

Xiao Mu pointed to his shoulder and said, "My shoulder hurts." ”

Zhang Laohan took Xiao Mu into his arms, patted Xiao Mu on the back and continued to comfort Xiao Mu.

"It's okay, it's okay, it means that you have grown up, and you will become a man in the near future, and your shoulders at this time are a good process. ”

Zhang Laohan said so profoundly, Xiao Mu naturally didn't understand anything, but he still pretended to understand.

Although Xiao Mu didn't pick up much water, he felt very relieved in his heart, whether it was Zhang Laohan, Wan Rong, or Lao Fu.

Although Xiao Mu is a little playful, how can there be a child who is not playful, as others say, peers are playing, and Xiao Mu can help the family do some farm work and share some housework is already very good.

After the meal, Zhang Laohan went to Guo Yang's house.

"Bang Bang Bang"

Zhang Laohan slammed the wooden door composed of three wooden planks vigorously, and no one opened the door for a long time.

After standing for a long time, the wooden door slowly opened, and it was Principal Guo who opened the door.

"Oh, Lao Zhang, what do you want to buy?"

Zhang Laohan smiled and said, "Principal Guo, is there any hydrogen peroxide?"

Principal Guo thought who was injured, and asked a little eagerly: "What's the matter, who has an accident and needs to use hydrogen peroxide?" ”

At that time, no one in Nancheng basically used hydrogen peroxide, and generally small rubbing and small skin injuries were smashed with purple gold zealand grass (Nancheng locally called it blackhead grass or liberation grass) and then directly applied to the wound, and the use of hydrogen peroxide was generally more serious.

Zhang Laohan said calmly: "It's nothing, it's not about the New Year, Xiao Mu and his uncle went to fetch water, their shoulders were swollen, and there was some broken skin, so they bought him a bottle to wipe and disinfect." ”

"Oh oh, oh, like this, that Xiao Mu is good, and he is quite sensible, unlike the one in my family who knows how to eat, drink and have fun all day long, and he can't do anything. ”

The corners of Zhang Laohan's mouth rose slightly, revealing a relieved smile.

"Don't say that, your Guo Yang is a great learner, besides, there is nothing to do in your family, there is no comparison. ”

Principal Guo smiled and took hydrogen peroxide to Zhang Laohan, "Why don't you come in and sit down and watch TV?"

Zhang Laohan thought about going home quickly to rub the medicine for Xiao Mu, how could he still have the heart to watch TV, so he refused Principal Guo's invitation, turned around and went home after taking the medicine.

"Come, Xiao Mu, show your shoulders, and grandpa will rub the medicine for you. ”

Xiao Mu stared at the hydrogen peroxide in Zhang Laohan's hand, worried.

Tutu asked, "Is this ...... What is this thing?"

Zhang Laohan smiled and said, "It's okay, you will be fine after rubbing this medicine, and you won't be so painful." ”

Xiao Mu tore his shirt at this time, revealing his red and swollen shoulders.

I thought it didn't hurt, but the moment Zhang Laohan rubbed the potion on the wound, the pain was unbearable, and he clenched his teeth tightly.

"Does it hurt that much?" asked Mr. Zhang.

Xiao Mu nodded, "Well, it's spicy and painful." ”

Zhang Laohan pulled the towel hanging on the wall with his hand, folded it into a tofu block, and handed it to Xiao Mu.

"Come, bite it, or what if you bite your teeth and break them. ”

However, it doesn't seem to be useful, it's still the same pain, if anything, it's just that there are fewer collisions between teeth.

After wiping the medicine, Xiao Mu didn't dare to move, wearing a wide collar and sitting upright.

Zhang Laohan teased: "Look at you, you don't look like a child in the countryside at all, with fine skin and tender meat, you just picked a little water, and you made it like this, it's too untortured." ”

Xiao Mu pursed his lips, "Then I'm still a child, I haven't practiced yet, if I am as old as my uncle, I will definitely be better than him." ”

Wan Rong on the side glanced at Xiao Mu and grimaced at Xiao Mu, which can be regarded as adding a little fun to Xiao Mu.

However, there is one thing that Xiao Mu can't figure out, Zhang Laohan, who is usually so picky and thrifty, is actually willing to spend money on medicine for himself this time, which is really unexpected.

Could it be that my conscience found out? Or when did I make a small fortune and didn't tell myself?

Just when Xiao Mu was thinking wildly, Zhang Laohan walked to his side and said: "Boy, today I finally realized what life is, and if you experience it more in the future, you will know what it is not easy." ”

Xiao Mu straightened his chest and said, "Experience is experience, I'm not afraid?"

Zhang Laohan asked again: "Then will you still be with your uncle tomorrow?"

Xiao Mu yelled at Zhang Laohan angrily: "Don't go, don't go, my uncle also asked me once, and you still come to ask me!"

Asking Xiao Mu if he would go tomorrow was just Zhang Laohan testing Xiao Mu, in this case, even if Xiao Mu took the initiative to ask to go, Zhang Laohan would not let him go.

Zhang Laohan put his hands behind his back, sighed and said, "Then tomorrow you will eat with me and your grandmother." ”
