During this period, the old Cheng family made a fortune and became well-off, and finally had their first child, named Cheng Qinghe. The child was born a moment before dawn, crying loudly, the old nurse touched the child's soft and damp fetus and praised: This child is not simple when he grows up!
Indeed, Cheng Qinghe was different from ordinary children when he was a child, he seemed precocious and old-fashioned, but he didn't like to talk.
It can be said that she has been vaguely remembering since she was held in her hands, but she really realized that she was extraordinary at the age of six.
Lao Cheng's house is on the bank of the big river, and the vertical cement dam on both sides of the river has been built, and the riverbed below has been transformed into a field like tofu blocks, planting rice, lotus root and other crops, but because it is autumn, the field has completely harvested crops, leaving only muddy water that can reach the ankles, and scattered yellow lotus leaf poles.
Cheng Qinghe squatted on the edge of the dam to play ipone6, as the only seedling of the old Cheng family, she was very pampered, and she has always eaten and used it well.
After a while, two things swam from the lower reaches of the river, and when she first saw them, she thought they were two earthworms, but as the distance became shorter and shorter, she realized that they were two snakes as thick as two buckets of water that were more than 20 meters long.
Cheng Qinghe looked at the snake crawling back and forth in the slow S-shape, scratched his head with his little hands, and continued to play with his mobile phone.
At this time, her cousin Cheng Jiajia, who was the same age, pounced on her from behind, which made the brand-new Apple 6 slide directly out of her palm, she looked at the mobile phone that fell in a straight line and sighed regretfully, and turned her head to look at the little friend behind her reproachfully.
"It's falling." Cheng Jiajia walked a few steps and squatted on the edge of the dam like her, emphasizing the result in a milky voice.
Cheng Qinghe nodded and stood up, looked at the snake dozens of meters away from her mobile phone, and looked at the sky with her arms folded in embarrassment.
It's still quite cold in the late autumn morning, hey.
"There are snakes!" Cheng Jiajia suddenly screamed and ran home with her little short legs.
Snake? Children are amazed at what they see, adults wave their hands, go, while playing, we have to pack up and rush to the market!
As soon as Lao Cheng heard Jiajia's words, snake? His daughter Qinghe is still playing there! Running to the edge of the big river, I was taken aback, a white snake was closest to this side, swimming in a curve, making the paddy field muddy, and the length could stretch across a whole rice field. He'd never seen such a big snake in his life! At first sight, there were two.
Then he remembered his daughter, he looked around the dam and didn't find anyone, and then looked under the dam, which almost scared the three souls and seven spirits.
"Don't move, Qinghe, don't move!" Lao Cheng almost roared, Qinghe, a girl who was not afraid of death, was walking slowly under the dam holding on to the wall.
What for? Pick up that apple 6! Qinghe looked up at his father and pointed to the location of Apple 6.
Lao Cheng is almost full of liver and gall, and the newborn calf is not afraid of tigers! If something happens to this little ancestor, he won't be alive!
Cheng Qinghe changed his support to lean, looked at the big white snake writhing more than ten meters away, and was stunned, thinking to himself, does it eat meat? Walk slowly, it shouldn't notice me.
Looking further back, her father had descended the stone steps behind her, trembling onto the knee-high field stalks of an adult who had been poured in cement.
Lao Cheng cares about chaos, there is still a road a little upstream, but it is a little farther away from the Qinghe, and the entrance of the downstream side just happened to meet two snakes unexpectedly.
He swayed left and right towards Qinghe, but obviously he couldn't get his balance right, the snake slid faster than he thought, and he waved his hand at Cheng Qinghe, signaling her to go upstream, because the white snake was already approaching her.
The other, with its white skin the color of asphalt, its head triangular, and its swollen body was full of weight, and somehow it had slipped into the cement under the field behind him, and its plump belly was rolling.
The late autumn morning was always foggy, and the white snake in front of her didn't pay too much attention to her, she exhaled, looked at her father's situation behind her and thought hazyly, it shouldn't hurt her father, but the fact did make her a little nervous.
Lao Cheng's 40-year-old child can be regarded as an old woman, his face that looked hideous because of fear suddenly showed a strange smile that seemed to be regretful and gratifying, and waved his hand towards Qinghe to signal her to turn around and walk forward, but it was only a matter of moments, an asphalt-colored snake tail lifted him down, followed by a splattered blood spray.
Before he had time to comprehend the meaning of that smile, Cheng Qinghe looked at the asphalt-colored snake body that was violently rolled up behind the field stalk and the bloody mud, and emotions that had never appeared before were churning in his mind: ignorance, doubt, disbelief, anger......
It's all like in a dream, if only it was a dream, if only it were a dream...... The icy air penetrated her head, and even her thoughts froze to a standstill, or rather, time froze to a standstill.
Her right hand twitched, and a blood-red **** was stretched out in the center of her palm, and something came out little by little......
"You mean, something came out of your palm?" The homeless man picked his nose and calmly looked at the five-cent coin in her hand.
Ten-year-old Cheng Qinghe nodded, his little face expressionless: "Do you know what happened later?" ā
"Oh~" The homeless man groaned weirdly, "Could it be that your father has come back to life again?" The little snake was killed by you? ā
Cheng Qinghe's eyes lit up and asked, "How do you know that my father is not dead?" ā
He picked up the coin in her palm with the black fingers that had picked his nose and pointed at her back: "Nu, I guess the man who is looking at you with a stick in his hand should be your father!" ā
Cheng Qinghe looked behind him and took a few steps back in fright.
Lao Cheng walked over and walked away with his daughter's back collar, and glared at the homeless man by the way: "Liu Laosi, you have hands, feet and face to beg for food, and you also have the face to cheat children out of money!" ā
Liu Laosi cut a sound, fell on the dirty quilt under him, listened to the howling and crying of Cheng Qinghe not far away, and completely ignored the aunts who pointed at him in the vegetable market.
The next day, Liu Laosi picked his toes and looked at Cheng Qinghe, who was holding a coin in front of him, and frowned: "The price has risen, and now five cents is only enough to buy me for a minute." ā
Cheng Qinghe stuffed the coin into his arms expressionlessly: "It's okay for a minute, time doesn't wait for me, I'll make a long story short, the strange snake was killed by me and buried in the field with the highest growth of seedlings, my father is going to take me to the countryside, if I don't come back in the summer vacation, you can help me fish out the snake meat and bury it next spring." ā
Liu Lao Simu was stunned, and when he saw this ten-year-old child approaching him, he stared at his eyes, and it could be seen from her eyes that she was really serious.
"Under the stone in the corner of the left side of the field stalk on the shore, don't turn it out." She whispered.
As soon as the words fell, Cheng Qinghe was left crying by Lao Cheng Ti again, this baby is also light and strange, either expressionless or crying, Liu Laosi pinched the five cents and got up with his hungry belly, if he hadn't broken through the red dust, he would have almost believed the words of the little ghost!
"When you see your grandparents later, you have to call someone, older than you should call your brother and sister, and younger than your parents should call your uncle and aunt......"
"Older than Mom and Dad are called Uncle and Auntie, I know." Cheng Qinghe sat cross-legged, answered coldly, frowned and looked around at the scenery in the countryside, looking worried.
Lao Cheng nodded and touched his daughter's head, this child doesn't know when this kind of state of always wanting to harm the people will start, Lao Cheng estimates that the town is too dull, so he plans to take the child to the countryside to raise, hoping to feed him better.
At this time, the donkey cart under her was bumpy, her grandmother lived in the suburbs of the town, and the cement road in the countryside was too narrow for the car to drive in.
After arriving, the grandparents were more enthusiastic than she imagined, her cheeks were so fragrant, and the delicious food and drink were entertained, which immediately filled Qinghe's chest tightness that was wiped with saliva.
"Dad will go back tomorrow, can you play here for a few days?"
Cheng Qinghe nodded, the aftermath has been explained, and there is nothing to worry about.
After lunch, she put on her hat and went out, and looked at the shirtless and dark-skinned boys running wildly by the river in the fields.
"Hey, do you want to catch fish with me?" The big-eyed girl stood in the creek and asked.
Cheng Qinghe, who was standing on the riverbank, thought for a moment and nodded.
"You stand here, I'll carry you down."
Qinghe took off his shoes and put them aside, squatted down and let the girl hold her armpits down.
Obviously they are the same age, but the girl is a head taller than Qinghe, and she is also dark-skinned.
"My name is Yu Ying, you can call me Yingzi, what is your name?"
"Qinghe." Cheng Qinghe replied, and the clear river water that didn't reach her feet and neck was so cold that she shivered.
"Haha, your feet are so white." Yingzi looked at her fleshy feet on the gravel riverbed and praised, and then pinched her baby's fat tender white face, "Your face is also very white." ā
The cold touch made Qinghe awkward.
"Let's catch a fish!" She took off her hat and looked up at the sky in silence.
The two of them mixed along the river, Cheng Qinghe carried a dustpan and stepped on a slip of aquatic plants, and his skirt was wet and not happy.
"I see a little grass upstream, let's go and play." Qinghe stepped on a big stone and looked forward, the grass and trees in front of him were indeed more lush than other places, and a crooked neck tree on the bank propped up above the river, casting a large shadow, reflecting the water a little turbid, it is estimated that there is a play.
Yingzi was putting one hand into the fish basket to tease the fish, and shook his head after hearing it: "My grandma said, I can't go there." ā
"Why?" Cheng Qinghe raised his hand and built a tent, looked up at the scorching sun in the sky, and just found a shady place to rest!
"My aunt said that Hebo lives there, and when she sees a child, she wants to pull him down to eat noodles, and he can't come up after eating noodles!"
Eating noodles? Cheng Qinghe scratched his neck, what face? Is it delicious?
Yingzi leaned down and washed her face, and said to her, "I have to go home and cut pigweed, do you want to go up with me?" ā
Cheng Qinghe shook his head, her grandparents were weaving bamboo baskets at home, her father was sleeping, and she had nothing to do when she went back!
"Then I'll go, you can go downstream later, and you can see the path to the shore."
Yingzi waved at her and turned to leave, Cheng Qinghe stood stunned for a while, and slowly reached out again and scratched his neck, where there is water, there are many mosquitoes! Then, her gaze fell on the lush vegetation ahead.
