Li Lao looked at Xiao Yao and asked with a smile: "Good grandson, do you want to go in and play with the children?" ”

Xiao Yao thought that Li Lao had something to do, and he couldn't follow him, so he nodded and said, "Yes." ”

Li Lao laughed, and Mr. Liu called a thirteen or fourteen-year-old thin and flexible guy to come in and said, "Pony, you take this little baby into the inner courtyard to play with Brother Xuan." Be sure to keep up."

The pony bowed and replied, "Yes, the head of the dart." ”

Xiao Ma carried Xiao Yao out of the door of the main house and walked towards the arch, and when he got there, he saw two mothers-in-law sitting inside, that is, on the edge of the door, and said to one of them with a smile: "Mother Gu, the head of the dart told me to take this little baby to play with the little master." ”

Gu's mother stood up and looked at Xiao Yao and said, "Are you going in too?" ”

"Of course, this is the task given to me by the head of the dart. You can't give up halfway, if you don't believe it, you can follow. Pony said with a smile.

"Okay, but at this point, the little master should be in the 'Listening to the Rain Pavilion' to cool off, do you know how to get there?" Mother Gu said, gesturing at the pony.

"I know, thank you, Mother Gu." Little Pony said with a smile.

The pony walked through the arch with his arms, and the first thing he saw was a neatly trimmed green camellia tree, with corridors built along both sides of the wall, and in front of him there were two paths paved with stone bricks that could be walked by three people, and in the distance there was a bamboo forest and a wood, and the birds could be heard chirping.

The pony picked a path to the east, walked quickly through the camellia bushes, bypassed the bamboo grove with lush bamboo leaves, and then turned to a wall full of roses, and the wall was covered with round, pink and red, red and white, and some slightly purple flowers of various colors, exuding a fragrant fragrance. This flower courtyard is really a scene in 10 steps, and the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant.

After the courtyard wall, I saw a pond full of lotus flowers in the distance, just summer, it is the season to see the lotus flowers, a gust of wind passes, the green lotus leaves are squirming, there are dotted with a little pink in the middle, a four-corner pavilion is built on both sides of the lotus pond, respectively, 'listening to the rain pavilion', 'listening to the lotus pavilion'.

The pony moved quickly towards the listening rain pavilion, and could smell the faint fragrance of lotus flowers, and the cool breeze was really a good place to escape the heat.

Looking into the rain pavilion from afar, there was no one in sight, the pony stopped, and wanted to turn back, Xiao Yao quickly patted the pony's shoulder, pointed to the pavilion and said, "Horse, go." How can you just go back to such a good place? It's a waste, and if you don't have anyone to play with, you'll have to go there for a while.

The pony looked at this little baby helplessly, thinking that this little baby has such an idea at such a young age, and it is not a loss to be the apprentice grandson of Li Lao. The pony continues to walk towards the Listening Rain Pavilion.

Xiao Yao didn't know what Xiao Ma thought, she just thought that she would be able to go to the gazebo soon, maybe she would eat pastries while enjoying the cold, and she would be comfortable! Well, I have to ask the pony to see if there is a lotus pod, pick a few lotus pods, a few lotus flowers, my mother must be very happy to see it, and laugh happily when she thinks about it.

When they turned the corner and walked in the right direction to go up the steps, they saw a stone table and two stone benches placed in the middle of the pavilion, and the other three sides of the pavilion were repaired with backrests (guardrails), and when the two of them went up the two steps, they saw a boy about 3 or 4 years old wearing brocade robes carrying them, standing on the side of the pavilion and facing the water, and climbing up the guardrail, trying to step over the railing.

Xiao Ma and Xiao Yao didn't dare to make a sound, for fear of startling the boy, Xiao Yao lightly went up the steps, put Xiao Yao on the stone table, and was about to come forward to pick up the boy down, suddenly heard the sound of wood breaking, Xiao Yao immediately leaned on the edge of the stone table, closer to the boy, Xiao Yao was still behind Xiao Yao, and there was a stone bench next to it, it was estimated that it was too late, Xiao Yao was about to jump over to catch the boy, but the boy fell out, Xiao Yao only had time to catch one of the boy's feet, and he also fell out, seeing that the two of them were about to fall into the water, Suddenly, he froze, and one of his feet was also caught, and it must have been a pony that caught his own foot.

Xiao Yao glanced at the pony with her peripheral vision, half of the pony's body had already stretched out, the pony grabbed one of Xiao Yao's feet with both hands, the pony was too weak, and he didn't have enough strength to pull the two of them up, so he could only hang like this, which was also very dangerous. Xiao Yao is also very strange, and the children below can't move or scream? Did you faint? How could something so weird?

The pony knew that he was too weak to hold out for long, so he desperately shouted loudly, "Help, help, come on, come on." ”

Soon someone ran over and asked in a hoarse voice what was the matter? The pony panted and said, "Auntie, hurry up and come over to help, I'm dying, I'm going to fall." ”

The man ran over and said, "Oh, my mother." Then Xiao Yao felt that she was moving up, getting farther and farther away from the water, and she was relieved when both of them went to the pavilion.

The little boy was lying motionless on the ground, Xiao Yao touched his neck, and saw that he was breathing evenly, and he fell asleep, no, if he hadn't come here, he would have died. The whole gazebo was clean, and no one was with this little boy, which was abnormal. Xiao Yao looked at the cut on the broken railing again, and her intuition thought that it would not be such a simple accident, but like a clever murder, and it was very thorough, could it be that this is the dirty thing of killing people without seeing blood in the big portal?

Immediately afterwards, I heard a chaotic footsteps, and soon saw a group of women running into the pavilion, and Xiao Ma and Xiao Yao hurriedly leaned to the side.

The first to come in was a pot-bellied, about 20-year-old, young woman with a simple bun was helped in by two middle-aged women on the left and right, seeing the boy lying on the ground, she was anxious to hug her, and a middle-aged woman next to her quickly patted the woman's hand and comforted her: "Young grandma, don't worry, you sit down first, I'll go over and take a look, it'll be fine, you see, the little master's clothes are not wet." ”

"Okay, nurse, you hurry up and see what's wrong with Xuan'er." The woman calmed down and said.

The middle-aged woman went up to examine the boy carefully, picked up the little boy and walked to the woman and said, "Young grandmother, it's okay, it's just asleep." It's true, I'll call the doctor later. ”

"That's good," the young grandmother breathed a sigh of relief, "Chunlan, you go and call the doctor." ”

"Yes, young grandmother." Chunlan replied, and then sped up and left.

"Now who's to say what's going on here?" The young grandmother asked loudly.

Later, the eldest lady who ran to pick up the two and rescued them said respectfully: "Back to the young grandmother, I am in charge of cleaning the flower yard, and I don't know what happened, I just heard the voice of someone calling for help, so I ran over, and I watched this little brother holding the baby's feet, and this baby holding the little master's feet, almost fell into the water." ”
