When passing by a garbage dump on the way, Liu Fang stopped to rummage through it, only to find that there was nothing of value in the garbage heap. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The place where he lives belongs to the jurisdiction of Jiashan Town, where the economic conditions are very backward, and the residents leave all the valuable rags to sell for money in order to get by, and no one will be generous enough to discard things that can be exchanged for money.
Liu Fang sighed, carried the snakeskin bag and continued to walk forward, and after more than half an hour, Liu Fang finally arrived at his destination, he took out a small shovel and worked in the field.
In less than an hour, the snakeskin bag brought by Liu Fang was filled with wild vegetables, and he raised his head to wipe his sweat, revealing a satisfied expression. The busyness just now consumed a lot of his physical strength, and Liu Fang climbed a small hill and sat down, ready to rest before going home. After sitting for a long time, Liu Fang's eyes became confused.
All kinds of past came to his mind, including the loving smiles of his parents, the vicious behavior of his uncles and aunts, and the loneliness and unwillingness in his heart......
Unconsciously, the corners of Liu Fang's eyes moistened, no matter how strong he was, he was just an eight-year-old child, and of course he would feel sad in the face of the cruel reality.
When Liu Fang was secretly sentimental, there was a sudden sound of talking behind him, he turned his head to look, and found that there was a large group of people walking towards the hillside, and the faces of more than a dozen foreigners in the crowd looked extremely conspicuous, Liu Fang was slightly stunned: "What are foreigners doing here?" ”
Soon, Liu Fang realized something, he looked down at his tattered clothes, and immediately made the decision to leave here.
The child's self-esteem is already very strong, and at the same time, there is a hint of naivety, and the reason why Liu Fang decided to leave here is because he doesn't want to lose face in front of foreigners.
"Miss Sophie, slow down and be careful of wrestling!"
"Uncle Taylor, my motor nerves are strong, and I'll be fine, don't worry."
As soon as Liu Fang stood up, he saw a little girl running towards the hillside, the little girl was wearing a beige windbreaker, with a bright red hat on top of her head, and the face exposed under the brim of the hat was so beautiful that Liu Fang, who saw a foreign girl for the first time, didn't know what words to use to describe it.
But all this has nothing to do with Liu Fang, in order to avoid being embarrassed and thrown into the eyes of foreigners, Liu Fang sped up, he opened his two legs, and rushed down the hill with a smoke.
"Ahh
Because of long-term malnutrition, Liu Fang's body bones were relatively weak, and he couldn't control the force of the downward rush, but before he could run a few steps, he exclaimed in surprise, and the whole person rolled to the ground.
Then, like a ball, Liu Fang rolled down the slope without stopping, and finally fell into the aqueduct under the hillside.
Fortunately, the aqueduct was dug by the villagers, and due to the limited conditions, it was not reinforced with cement, otherwise Liu Fang would have been seriously injured even if he had not fallen to his death.
"Uncle Taylor, did you hear that? Did someone just scream? ”
The little girl stopped, her eyes flashing wide, and asked a stout young man behind her.
The young man looked puzzled: "Miss Sophie, are you sure someone was shouting just now?" Why didn't I hear that? ”
The little girl blinked: "Could it be that I heard it wrong?" ”
In order to make sure that she was not mistaken, the little girl sped up and ran up after speaking, and Taylor smiled bitterly in the back: "Miss Sophie, can you slow down?" It's easy to wrestle like this. ”
In the crowd behind, a middle-aged foreign man smiled when he heard this: "Taylor, you go with her, if the child doesn't wrestle, he won't really grow up." ”
"Yes, Mr. James."
All three spoke in a foreign language, but not English, and their tones sounded strange.
The interpreter who followed immediately translated the conversation between the three of them, and the accompanying Chinese people all looked at each other after listening to it, and everyone couldn't understand why Mr. James would expect his daughter to wrestle, in the eyes of the Chinese, children should be well protected, otherwise if they are injured, how distressing it is.
The little girl quickly ran to the top of the hill, she looked down and scanned around, but she didn't even see half a figure, the little girl flashed her big blue eyes, tilted her head and said, "Did I really hear it wrong?" Well, it's possible that I slept too late last night and didn't seem to be in good spirits. ”
At this moment, Liu Fang was lying in the aqueduct, not daring to move, he observed the movement on the hillside through the gap in the weeds, and saw that the little girl did not find herself, Liu Fang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, with a puzzled look on his face: "Why are so many foreigners here in this barren mountain and wild range?" It's weird...... Hey? What's that? ”
Liu Fang's attention was quickly attracted by the little girl's hand, this thing is a cube, there are many small squares on it, the color of the grid is a little chaotic, it looks neither like a toy, nor like a handicraft, which makes Liu Fang feel very curious.
"Miss Sophie, it seems that you have misheard, so let's stop running around, and stand here waiting for Mr. James."
The little girl hummed, sat down on a rock, and began to fiddle with the cube object she was holding, as if trying to arrange all the small lattices of the same color into a cross-section.
Liu Fang saw this scene through the gap in the weeds, and he immediately showed a clear look: "It seems that this should be a toy with a puzzle function." ”
What Liu Fang didn't know was that what the little girl was holding in her hand was actually a Rubik's Cube, these days, things like Rubik's Cube are extremely rare in China, and it is very normal for Liu Fang not to know it.
Not long after fiddling with it, the little girl pursed her lips: "The third-order Rubik's Cube is really too difficult, I have studied it for more than two months, and I still haven't been able to find the pattern." ”
Hearing this, Taylor took out a book from his pocket and said with a smile: "Miss Sophie, this is a book dedicated to how to restore the Rubik's Cube, as long as you take a little look, with your extraordinary intelligence, you will definitely find the trick quickly." ”
Sophie looked at Taylor with some dissatisfaction: "Uncle Taylor, I told you a long time ago, I want to rely on my own ability to solve the problem, I will never cheat, you should throw away this book, please don't let it appear in front of me in the future." ”
Taylor knows what kind of personality Miss Sophie is, don't look at her age, but her head is very smart, and her personality is also very stubborn, as her bodyguard, it is better to be obedient, otherwise if Miss Sophie is unhappy, Mr. James will not be able to explain.
