Chapter III
When the autumn harvest season came, the adults who were working hard outside returned to the countryside, and the workers who worked hard in the fields with bare arms and a series of laughter and laughter were all gone. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
My father was no exception, and he took me back to my grandfather with me.
Where I met, I met a lot of friends, including Yue Huahua, Lin Feng'er, and Lin Shasha, and more importantly, Lin Qing was also there. Yes, my surname is Lin, and he is also surnamed Lin, many people in the village have the surname Lin, and there is nothing strange about people with the surname Lin together.
At that time, there was little crop medicine, and when the autumn harvest came, the fields were full of grasshoppers, locusts, and crickets. When the fathers were harvesting in the fields, we dolls also formed a team to catch all kinds of insects in the mountains, and then folded a few dog's tail grasses, skewered the pests they caught into strings one after another, and went home at night and threw them into the yard, where a flock of chickens and ducks would rush to eat.
When I was a child, I was very stupid, according to some people, (I have forgotten who it is, otherwise I would have killed him now) In fact, there is a kind of grasshopper that can be eaten, and after frying, the taste is still very delicious.
So, every day when I go up the mountain to catch grasshoppers, I have a new goal----- to eat! And it's eaten raw, eaten alive, who made me obedient and listened to half of it. Ha ha...
Oh, my God! Now that you think about it, your stomach feels a little uncomfortable, can you imagine what it feels like for a four or five-year-old child to hold a few strings of grasshoppers strung with a dog's tail grass in his hand, and throw them into his mouth one by one, one by one? It's like a snack, and it's eaten with relish. As for the taste, don't ask, forget, bad things, I always forget selectively.
One time it was late and we knew it was time to go home, so Lin Qing and I went down the mountain and passed by the river that had dried up. (That's the case in the countryside, where most of the water is pumped away when the rice is planted, and then the rest of the river water is released, and the water is blocked again in the winter, and the water is slowly stored for the next year.) Lin Qing and I had an argument and he said that it was faster to cross the dry riverbed, and that I had a little bit of resistance because I had fallen into the river as a child, and that I had to cross the bridge alive or dead. If you cross the bridge, you have to take a few more detours, of course Lin Qing disagreed. There was no way, we had to go our separate ways, but children are children after all, and although they had to go separately, they still put forward a request for a competition to see who crossed the river first. Although I knew that he had chosen a relatively close path, I felt that as long as I ran fast, I would definitely win. Then, here we go.
I only heard the two of us shouting at the same time, 'One, two, three, ready ~ run!' Lin Qing and I rushed out towards the route I chose at the same time, I looked at Lin Qing while running, watched him cross the bottom of the river, and slowly ran towards the shore, and I, just ran on the bridge, alas~ It seems that I am going to lose, I thought in frustration. Alas~ How can you say that he is running slowly? Yes, he was really slow, and he was getting slower and slower, and finally he was two meters from the shore and could no longer walk. watched Lin Qing slow down step by step, until he couldn't walk anymore in the end? I knew that I had won, but I was not happy at all, but I gradually became frightened, because I watched Lin Qing slowly sink there, sinking deeper and deeper. At that time, I was already scared stupid, looking at Lin Qing blankly by the bridge, at a loss. The silt at the bottom of the river slowly covered Lin Qing's calves and spread towards his thighs, and Lin Qing finally couldn't move anymore.
"Wow~Wow~Woo~Woo~" Lin Qing cried, crying very loudly, waking me up, and also waking up the adults who were still busy around, I ran over to ask them for help, hoping that they could save Lin Qing, hearing my shout, listening to Lin Qing's cry, many adults put down their farm work and rushed to the river. I saw hope, because in my heart when I was a child, every adult was a 'superman', they were omnipotent, and they would definitely rescue Lin Qing. Unfortunately, the cruel reality taught me a lesson, more and more adults gathered by the river, but no one was willing to come to the rescue. It turns out that they are also afraid, and adults are like us children, there are things to be afraid of, they are not 'supermen', they are just some big 'children'! I thought so in my heart, and when I looked at those adults again, I suddenly felt that their faces were so hideous and terrifying!
Lin Qing is still sinking, and the crying continues, I am helpless, and he is helpless.
Time passed slowly, the mud had already crept over Lin Qing's chest, and if he didn't save it, there would be no more chance, suddenly, a dustpan flew out of the crowd and fell in front of Lin Qing, and then he saw a hideous-looking adult, walked out of the crowd, stood on the dustpan, supported Lin Qing's arm with both hands, and pulled it out hard, a lively ' The mud man' appeared in front of everyone, rescued Lin Qing ashore, Lin Qing's father arrived, why every time we encountered danger, our parents came so timely, I thought so, last time I fell into the river, this time Lin Qing fell into the mud, perhaps, the only ones who are really good to themselves are their relatives. In the same way, I also learned another truth, that a simple-looking and good-looking person is not necessarily like his face and a kind-hearted person, and those with a hateful face and hideous appearance are not necessarily bad people.
Since then, the eyes of the people in the village have changed, and even later, it is rare to return to the village all year round, just because of their cold-bloodedness and ruthlessness!
