Chapter 001: Water Ghost
In southern Xinjiang in July and August, it is the fattest time for clams.
Get up and get up early, get up early for clams, get up early for clams, and go out in the sun. Clams Clams eat clams, eat clams today, eat clams today, and become beautiful after eating!
Hua Qing, who got up early, jumped off the bamboo bed in good spirits, tied the straps of the straw sandals, twisted her hair to the back of her head and tied it with her hands, stretched her waist, walked to the window, picked up the bamboo basket on the table, and went out of the door humming a small tune.
"Hua Qing, I'm going to pick up clams again!"
Several aunts who were sitting by the stream and were dressed in clothes greeted her with a smile when they saw Hua Qing.
"That's right, today's first day of the new year, go to catch the sea. Aunt Yang, I'll go to your field to cut some leeks in a while, and I'll give you a bowl of clam leek porridge when it's good! ”
"Okay, it's okay if you pull out all the garden. Haha....."
The women in Huanyi did not hide their love for Hua Qing at all, and Hua Qing nodded happily, smiled sweetly, bypassed the stream, and walked briskly to the sea.
The sea in the early morning stretches as far as the eye can see. Hua Qing pulled up the leg of her trousers, untied the bamboo basket behind her, threw it into the sea, and then stepped into the water to touch the clams.
The soft mud is full of hard and hard clam shells, and one by one. She was overjoyed, and from east to west, she touched a lot of clams.
She kicked something soft as she stepped to the right with her right foot, huh? As soon as she turned around, she saw a man in armor lying there, and after just one look, she was so frightened that she ran away.
"Water ghosts, there are water ghosts!"
Yes! Damn, it's scared to death!
She wanted to cry while running, and when she was a child, she often heard the aunts in the village say that you can't bully the mountains and the water, and there are water ghosts in the water. She didn't believe it before, but this time she bumped into it.
Running out in broad daylight, are the water ghosts so rampant now?
However, I finally picked up so many clams, so I couldn't just throw them away.
She took a deep breath, moved her toes half-open, half-closed her eyes, and went into the sea, and as soon as her feet got wet, she screamed in fright again.
Forget it, it's out for the sake of clams.
She bit the back of her hand, jumped into the sea quickly, bent down to get the bamboo basket, the bamboo basket ate a lot of water, there were clams in it, a little bulky, she pulled desperately, just loosened the strength, the bamboo basket hit the "water ghost" just now.
Yes? Ay! What can I do? She suddenly wanted to cry without tears, but it was the first day of the seventh month, and the next time she wanted to pick so much, she would have to wait until July 15, and the clams in July and August were the fattest. How can you let it go because a "water ghost" says to let it go?
No, she gritted her teeth, turned her heart sideways, and turned to get the bamboo basket. While dragging the bamboo basket with both hands, the afterglow of her eyes accidentally glimpsed the "water ghost", she felt that something was wrong, the legend is that the water ghost will pull people to pad their backs, and they can only be freed with the dead ghosts, why don't the "water ghosts" next to them pull themselves?
She glanced at the sun in the sky again, although it was not as strong as at noon, but she finally climbed to the sky, why are the water ghosts not afraid of the sun? A strong curiosity drove her to turn her head to look, not to know if she didn't see, and to be startled when she saw it.
What kind of "water ghost" is that? That's a dead man, huh? Maybe he's not dead yet. Curious, she reached out to probe his snort, he was angry, but he was not dead.
She stared at the "water ghost" in front of her, and saw that his lips were as red as blood, his face was whiter than snow, and his hair dipped in water was even darker, and it was softly stacked on his face, looking like a ghost. No wonder she mistook him for a "water ghost" at first glance.
Obsessive-compulsive disorder is very serious, she reached out to straighten the hair covering his face, she couldn't help but be stunned when she saw his complete appearance, she has grown so big, she has never seen such a good-looking man, this man is actually whiter than a woman, it is really evil.
She saw that there was some rouge red on his chest, so she peeled off the torn armor and lining under him, and saw that he had a knife wound more than ten centimeters long on his body, and several arrow wounds about three or four centimeters long.
It's too ruthless.
She usually felt pain when she had a thorn in her hand, but the man in front of her had so many injuries on his body.
Forget it, saving someone's life is better than building a seventh-level floating slaughter, don't want the clams, get this person back.
He squatted down and tried to help the man sit up, but he seemed to be unsteady, and once she let go, his body collapsed backwards like a mountain, and so on, so tired that she couldn't do it.
Helpless, she could only sit in the water, put her hands under his armpits on both sides, folded her fingers on his chest, half-bowed, and dragged him to the shore.
After being dragged to shore and making sure that he would not be swept away by the waves again, she put him down, turned and ran.
When she returned to the village, she saw that the aunts in the raccoon clothes by the stream were gone, and she saw a two-wheeled cart under the big banyan tree, so she went over and lifted the two arms of the two-wheeled cart and pushed the cart to the sea.
At noon, the sun was blazing, and the man was still lying in place, but his snow-white face was reddened, and she thought that she had to get him to the car quickly, so as not to get the skin on his face to peel off by then.
But he was too heavy, she pulled her legs and pulled her arms for a while, but she couldn't get the cart, and finally got on the cart, as soon as she ran to the front to lift the arms, just lifted it, the guy slipped backwards from the cart.
She just wanted to save someone, why did God embarrass her, but there was no one around, so she had to be patient, carefully pushed him to the car, and carried him home with the arms of the two-wheeled vehicle.
When she returned home, she had another problem, she had lived with her mother since she was a child, and the house was a bamboo house, and there was only one bedroom and one living room, and there was only a beaded curtain decorated with shells between the hall and the room.
He was injured, and he couldn't let him sleep in the hall, forget it, anyway, his mother went to Yuncang Kingdom, and he couldn't come back for a while, and when he was injured, he would also return to the place that should have belonged to him.
Once she had made up her mind, she lifted him to her bed, tiptoed to remove his damp clothes, and her face turned red unconsciously when she saw his snow-white chest and muscles.
She, for the first time, undressed a man, fortunately her mother was not at home, fortunately the man had been unconscious.
She had just closed her eyes and pulled off his pants when the man on the bed suddenly got up and grabbed her by the throat.
"You're trying to strangle me?"
She coughed violently, turned around and met the man's open eyes, the face was too good-looking, she was embarrassed to continue to stare at others, so she lowered her head, she didn't bow her head, it was okay, as soon as she lowered her head, her eyes swept to his lower body, she only felt that her face was burning like fire, and her ass was more like sitting on a needle mat, she quickly jumped up and pointed at him and shouted:
"You, don't come here!"
