Drowning

Peach Blossom turned her head and looked at the young man in front of her, it was Li Zheng's grandson Su Jinchen. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info twelve or thirteen years old, it is the time of youth rebellion, but the young man has a humble face, and at this moment, the clear water river under the sun is shining with a fine light and jumps under the young man's eyes.

"I heard Jing Sheng say that you are sick, but now you seem to be better?" the young man asked.

Peach Blossom didn't know what was going on, and she was a little flustered. Hurriedly got up from the stone bridge, pressed his hands on the ground, and his feet on the bridge, and suddenly his feet slipped. Peach Blossom's eyes widened, and she saw that she was very bloody and was pulled into her arms by the young man in front of her.

"Ah, what are you doing?!" a scream came from behind him, piercing Peach Blossom's eardrums, and then he felt the back collar being grabbed fiercely. Things almost always happen in an instant. Peach Blossom was pulled into the boy's arms with one foot outside the stone bridge, and the moment she was pulled by the back collar, she knew it was bad, and with a "poof", Peach Blossom ended her first outing experience in this time and space in a more bloody way.

Peach Blossom knew that the water in the Qingshui River was not deep, but it was more than enough to drown herself and Su Jinchen, two minors.

"Big brother save me!" The river water in early autumn was very cold, and the peach blossoms were paddling hard in the water to make their small bodies float. Brother They will definitely run over immediately after hearing it not far away, but I hate that this little body is too young and lacks exercise, and Peach Blossom felt out of breath after only two strokes, and then realized that he didn't want to die.

Look at Su Jinchen next to him, damn, could it be that this kid is a landlubber. Seeing Su Jinchen slowly sinking down after fluttering twice, Peach Blossom hurriedly grabbed him, and was dragged by him as soon as his arm was stretched out. "Don't drag me!" Peach Blossom yelled at the boy, almost angry, but the boy's hand was still dragging Peach Blossom.

"Hey, don't pull me, we won't survive. Peach Blossom kicked her legs hard under the water, and her other hand broke his palm. The peach blossoms have choked a lot of water in the sinking and floating, and Su Jinchen's body has been pulling her down. Peach Blossom gradually lost her strength. Are you going to drown? Well, you can wake up and go back. In the end, Peach Blossom simply stopped moving, allowing her body to sink slowly, feeling the pain in her chest as if it had been torn, and then she lost consciousness.

Waking up again, Peach Blossom opened her eyes thirstily, looked at the roof, and sighed. I haven't returned to modern times when I'm so close to death, and it seems that God really wants to live here by himself.

Zhang and Pear Blossom are all in the house.

Seeing that his daughter was awake, Zhang hurriedly asked, "How are you awake, and is there anything uncomfortable?"

The second sister Lihua also stayed in front of the bed, and said happily, "Peach Blossom, you finally woke up, and the second sister poured water for you." "

"When?" asked Peach Blossom, her voice hoarse, startling herself.

"It's Shen time. Pear Blossom said as she poured water.

Peach Blossom didn't dare to ask again, but looking at the sky outside through the window, it should be four or five o'clock, but I didn't expect that I was in a coma for most of the day.

"Look at you, I don't know how to rest when I'm sick, it's okay now, I fell into the river, I really don't know if I'll fall into the root of the disease. Zhang was a little worried.

"I didn't mean to. Who knew that Tang Feifei would drag me from behind. Peach Blossom muttered.

"Look at you, you're still not convinced. Pear Blossom walked over, handed her the water, nodded her forehead again, and said, "If you don't go to join in the fun, how can she take the opportunity to pull you, didn't you hide far away when you saw her before? "

Although the pear blossom kept counting in her mouth, she was distressed between the lines. Peach Blossom couldn't help but feel warm in her heart when she heard this, so she smiled a little mischievously, "Oh, second sister, don't be angry, isn't it okay for my sister to apologize to you?" "

Hearing Peach Blossom say this, Pear Blossom and Zhang's were both a little relieved, but when they thought that Peach Blossom, who was usually taciturn, would also coax people, they couldn't help but be a little surprised, and couldn't help but look at her carefully.

Peach Blossom was shocked, accidentally exposed the filling, and hurriedly took the tea bowl handed over by the second sister, and drank it with a bang.

"Don't worry, be careful of choking. Zhang patted her lovingly, and the surprise in her heart dissipated, no matter what, it's always a good thing to be lively, maybe this fright scared her daughter's timidity away.

"By the way, what about the eldest brother and the fourth brother?" Putting down the tea bowl, Peach Blossom asked, eldest brother, she didn't dare to guarantee it, but how could Mingsheng's little guy's clinginess not guard herself.

"Your eldest brother went to see Su Gongzi, your fourth brother was originally guarding you, but then I took him back to the house when I fell asleep. Zhang said, "What the hell is going on, how did you fall into the river, your eldest brother didn't make it clear." "

So, Peach Blossom told the story as it was.

"Well, I don't blame you, it's the Tang family girl, who is said to have learned to write, how can she act so recklessly. Zhang sighed.

"Why else, it must be because Su Gongzi saved our family Taohuabei, she relied on herself as the niece of the village chief, and she was full of hostility towards people close to Su Gongzi. Hmph, who doesn't know her little bit of caution. "Pear blossom is full of disdain, and her fair cheeks are bulging and puffing, which is very cute.

Peach Blossom pursed her lips and smiled.

Zhang patted the pear blossom and scolded, "The little girl's family, what nonsense, don't be afraid of other people's jokes." "

"That's what it was. Pear Blossom whispered a little unconvinced, seeing Peach Blossom smile, and grimacing at her, Zhang looked at the sisters helplessly.

After a while, Mingsheng woke up and ran over from the bed by himself. The mother said the conversation again. Looking at the sky, Zhang got up to make dinner, and Pear Blossom and Peach Blossom also went to help, letting Mingsheng play in the yard by himself.

The kitchen is not big or small, and it is very clean, in fact, no matter where it is, Zhang's is very clean.

Behind the stove were bundles of firewood.

Two stoves, at right angles, near the wall is a large pot connected to a small pot, the big pot cooks rice and steamed buns, the small pot is put water, when the pot is boiled, put a little fire in the back, you can heat the fire in the small pot, wash your face and brush the pot, no need to re-boil the hot water, very aspect.

Another stove is attached to a cauldron for cooking. In this way, the rice is cooked, and the dishes are ready, and there is no delay.

On one side, a cabinet made of hardwood planks with some worn clay pots and a few dustpans on top.

Under the cupboard are wooden barrels of rice, small half bags of noodles.

Several bamboo baskets are stacked in the corners.

There is also a basket with a few eggs on the kitchen beam, which is to prevent animals such as weasels from coming in at night to steal food.

A large water tank was near the stove, and a scoop made of a large gourd lay quietly in the water tank.

Zhang added water to the cauldron, then grabbed a little bud from a dilapidated rice jar and put it in, put on the grate, and took two nests and put them on. Pear blossom skillfully lit a fire. Peach Blossom also shouted to help, all this made her feel familiar and kind, such a big pot table is only in memory of grandma's house, I like to eat such a pot made of rice, I feel very sweet.

"You've been sick for the past two days, it's better to rest, just me and your sister. As he spoke, Zhang poured some water into another pot, pinched a little salt from the salt shaker and put it in, and threw the washed cabbage into it to cook.

Towards the end of the evening, Kim Dazhong and Jing Sheng came back together.

Seeing his father and eldest brother coming back, Mingsheng ran over with joy all his life. Jin Dazhong picked up his youngest son and turned around, and Mingsheng laughed.

"Why did you come back together?" Zhang saw the two of them enter the courtyard door from the kitchen, so he came out and asked.

"I came out of the village chief's house and happened to meet my father, so I came back together. Jingsheng said.

Rika also walked out, holding a basin in her hand, placing it on the stone platform in the courtyard, and said, "Dad, big brother, come and wash your face, the meal will be ready soon." "

Peach Blossom hurriedly took the towel over.

Jin Dazhong put down Mingsheng, washed his face with a huhula, and then took a towel and wiped it. Jingsheng also came over to wash it, and when he saw Peach Blossom standing aside, he said, "Are you okay?"

"Huh?" Peach looked surprised, then grinned, "It's okay." "

"Well, rest at home for the past two days, don't go out and run around. "

After washing his face, Jingsheng also entered the house with Jin Dazhong, and Zhang was setting up the dishes and chopsticks. Rika poured the water from the basin into the vegetable patch and pulled the peach blossoms into the house.

"His father, can Jing Sheng tell you?" asked Zhang at the dinner table.

"Well, I said. Jin Dazhong said in a sullen voice, with no expression on his face, only burying his head in eating.

Zhang was a little helpless, and then asked, "Is Su Gongzi okay?" ”

Without waiting for Jin Dazhong to answer, Jing Sheng said, "Gongzi Su is fine, he woke up at noon, and the village chief didn't say anything." Don't worry. Saying that, he looked at Peach Blossom soothingly, as if to reassure her.

"Then do I still want to apologize to Su Gongzi?" After all, it was because of my own party that I fell into the water, so it seems that I should go and see it.

"No need, buy some things tomorrow, I'll go with your eldest brother, it's not appropriate for you to go to a girl's house." Jin Dazhong spoke up.

Peach Blossom nodded, "um", and then gave Jin Dazhong and Jing Sheng a chopstick dish, "Dad, big brother, eat more." "

"The third sister also eats more, you are the thinnest in the family. Mingsheng said naughtily, he really picked up the chopsticks and gave the peach blossom clip. pinched Peach Blossom's little face, "That's good." "

After dinner in the evening, the sisters helped Zhang clean up the dishes and chopsticks.

It was getting late, and there was something I couldn't see clearly in the house, and the lady was smearing the dishes and chopsticks.

"When I have money in the future, I will definitely buy lots and lots of candles to light up the house. Peach Blossom said a little angrily.

Most of the farmers here do not light lamps, because whether it is an oil lamp or a candle, it costs money to buy, and a pound of lamp oil costs ten cents, and you can buy a small half a catty of noodles. With the current financial resources of the Jin family, they can't afford it anyway.

"Hey, I don't know when we'll have lights. Rika sighed.

Zhang finished washing the last bowl in the dark night, "Okay, girls, hurry back to the house and sleep." "

Back in the room, Lihua lay on the bed with some annoyance, "Third sister, did I say the wrong thing just now, my mother seems to be crying, hey, it's all my fault." "

Peach Blossom next to Pear Blossom, resting her head on her shoulder, whispered, "Everything will be fine, trust me." "

Rika sighed and said, "Sleep." "

Peach Blossom knew that her sister didn't take her words to heart, and she didn't say much, and began to slowly think about the future days in her mind. But after thinking about it, I don't seem to have any special skills, alas, let's take one step at a time.
