"Ah Ran, Ah Ran..."

In a burst of anxious calls, Zhang Ran tried to open his eyes, and what he saw was a familiar face with concern, this person was none other than his "mother" Zhang Li.

A breeze blew, Zhang Ran raised his eyelids, and was surprised to find that he was lying in the shade of a large leafy tree.

"Thank goodness you've finally woken up! Ah Ran, you scared your mother to death! ”

Before Zhang Ran could sort out his thoughts, Zhang Li on the side hugged Zhang Ran and hugged Zhang Ran tightly in his arms with tears streaming down his face, as if he was afraid that Zhang Ran would suddenly disappear.

When his mother's cold tears fell on his cheeks, Zhang Ran suddenly remembered that he seemed to have fainted just now.

Seeing his mother in tears and worried, Zhang Ran couldn't help but struggle and quickly explained: "Mother, I'm fine!" I was just too tired just now, and I just accidentally lost my strength, so it's good to take a break! ”

"You kid!" Zhang Ran's explanation not only failed to satisfy his mother, but seemed to anger Zhang Li even more. In anger, Zhang Li gently tapped Zhang Ran's forehead and said, "I told you a long time ago, don't come, don't come!" You have to be strong, you kid is too tough! You don't want to think about it, if you have three long and two short, how can we mother and daughter live! ”

"Uh" Zhang Ran shrank his head in embarrassment, and in the face of his mother's questioning, Zhang Ran felt speechless, so he had to use the method of pretending to be stupid and stunned, and not speaking to win his mother's sympathy, in order to get by.

However, how could Zhang Ran's little trick escape Zhang Li's eyes, only to see Zhang Li glance at Zhang Ran fiercely, and sighed helplessly: "Forget it, forget it, you can rest here this afternoon!" Leave the affairs of the field to me! ”

"But..."

"No, no matter what, you have to be obedient to me today, or I'll break your dog's legs!"

Zhang Li glared at Zhang Ran viciously, then turned his head to the little girl beside him and ordered: "Sui'er, show me your brother, if he dares to be disobedient, you will tell your mother immediately, understand?" ”

Hearing her mother's words, the little girl nodded her head again and again like a chicken pecking rice, and waved her little fist "fiercely", and at the same time patted her little chest and promised loudly: "Mother, don't worry!" I will definitely take a good look at my brother, if he dares to come nonsense, Sui'er will teach him a hard lesson for you and give you anger! ”

"Hmmm! Sui'er is so good! Zhang Li touched the little girl's head with great satisfaction, and then glared at Zhang Ran fiercely again, and warned: "Mother is going to remove the grass, don't run around, you know?" ”

After that, Zhang Li picked up the hoe again and walked towards the field.

Looking at his mother's back gradually moving away, Zhang Ran patted his forehead in annoyance, and always felt a little bad in his heart, and felt deeply ashamed of his incompetence.

Although he knew that his current physical condition was a little bad, and it might be a little difficult to do farm work, he really didn't expect that just a mere weeding would make him tired and powerless.

"Hey, there's no water?" After Zhang Li went to work in the field, the task of taking care of Zhang Ran fell on Zhang Sui'er's shoulders, thinking that his brother had just woken up, he was likely to be thirsty. Zhang Sui'er squatted down and took out the clay pot from the basket beside her, wanting to feed her brother some water to drink, but when she picked up the clay pot, she suddenly felt that the clay pot was very light, and when she looked down, she found that the clay pot was not even a little water.

"Brother, are you thirsty? Shall I go to the river and get you some water? ”

After finding that there was no water, Zhang Sui'er stood up, shook the clay pot in his hand to Zhang Ran, and asked him.

"Well, I'm really a little thirsty..."Hearing his sister's inquiry, Zhang Ran couldn't help licking his chapped lips, and nodded subconsciously.

"Then brother will rest here first, and I'll fetch you water..."

As she spoke, Zhang Sui'er held the clay pot in her arms, turned around and walked in the opposite direction to Zhang Ran...

"Wait!"

Seeing that his sister actually wanted to go to the river alone to fetch water, Zhang Ran couldn't help but be a little worried, so he hurriedly shouted behind Zhang Sui'er, then struggled, tried to stand up, and said loudly: "Sui'er, don't go yet, I'll go with you!" ”

"Huh?"

After hearing the shouts from behind her, Zhang Sui'er turned her head and found that her brother had staggered to his feet, and was immediately shocked, and hurriedly put the clay pot aside, trotted a few steps, and came over to support Zhang Ran.

While carefully helping Zhang Ran to stand up slowly, Zhang Sui'er persuaded Zhang Ran: "Brother, what are you doing here?" Isn't it just some water? I'll just go by myself. Brother, you've just woken up and need more rest, so stay here and wait for me to come back!" ”

"I'm not at ease if you go alone..."Zhang Ran said as he tried to take two steps forward, and found that except for feeling that his body was still a little heavy, the situation in all other aspects was fine, and walking was basically no problem.

So, he turned to his sister Zhang Sui'er and said, "Look, aren't I doing well?" I just accidentally lost my strength just now, but now I've taken a break, and I'm almost fine. Let's go, let's go to the river to fetch water together, I also want to wash my face, I just sweated, and my whole body is sticky and uncomfortable..."

After speaking, Zhang Ran didn't wait for Zhang Sui'er to respond, so he took a step forward and walked forward by himself...

"Brother, slow down, slow down..."

Seeing that she couldn't stop her brother's action, Zhang Sui'er could only hurriedly run to the side to pick up the clay pot, and then, speeding up her pace to catch up with her brother, holding the edge of the clay pot with one hand and holding her brother's arm with the other, she walked in the direction where the river was located.

"Whoa..."

After walking for about ten minutes, Zhang Ran heard a crisp sound of running water, and at this time, they had already left the range of farmland and came to a lush area of vegetation.

Through the gaps between the branches and leaves, Zhang Ran vaguely saw that there seemed to be a sparkling river meandering not far away. And the sound of running water that he had just heard came from this small river.

After walking through the grass and walking forward for dozens of meters, I saw a small river four or five meters wide in front of me, the water of this small river was very clear, and from a distance, it looked like a white ribbon, lying between the turquoise grass and trees.

The river was murmuring, the breeze was blowing, and the slightest cool air was blowing in his face, which made Zhang Ran feel a lot more energetic. It seems that all of a sudden, the feeling of heat and dryness of Fang Cai will be swept away.
