In a wheat field on the outskirts.

Weiyang's mother Hu Huilan hoeed the grass all morning, her clothes had been wet with sweat, no part of her body was dry, her embroidered shoes had been filled with mud, her two hands had been grinding out two big blisters, she was now very thirsty, her stomach was faintly hungry, and at the same time, she was worried about the Weiyang at home.

Her heart began to panic.

When my heart panics, I don't know that I'm thirsty, and I don't know that I'm hungry.

She was worried that Weiyang was messing around at home alone.

Weiyang is still young now, and his curiosity is so strong, he is curious to catch anything and play with it.

Although Hu Huilan locked the door when she left, she packed all the knives and tools in the room, even small objects such as embroidery needles, to a place where Weiyang couldn't see, but she was still very uneasy, she always felt that Weiyang could find them, and then, while playing, she hurt herself.

This is just a point, in addition, Hu Huilan is more worried about whether Weiyang's stomach is hungry now, will he be as thirsty as her throat rustles like a fire......

She was afraid that Weiyang would eat indiscriminately, and that he would be thirsty and drink raw water, so she locked the kitchen door when she went out.

As soon as the kitchen door is locked, the sheep will naturally not be able to find food.

In the past, when he was hungry, he could grab one or two cold steamed buns to nibble on, even if there were no cold steamed buns left, he would not let himself go hungry, he would go to the crockpot and grab a handful of dry flour and put it in his mouth, and then chew it like batter.

Although his teeth were very uncomfortable with this batter, this thing was full, and he was comfortable when his stomach was full.

In the past, when he was thirsty, he could reach out to the water tank to scoop a bowl of water to drink, although his stomach would hurt for several days after drinking it every time, but the taste of thirst was really uncomfortable, and Weiyang was the kind of person who forgot the pain after the scar, who didn't care so much, besides, he was only a six-year-old child now.

Hu Huilan thought like this for a while, and then she couldn't stay any longer in a panic.

She put away her hoe, and before she had time to wipe the dirt off it with the weeds, she strode home.

It was past lunchtime and the sun was beginning to set in the west. She had been so busy like this many times that she lost track of time, until she remembered Weiyang who was locked in the house, and then she began to panic.

......

In the empty room, Weiyang buried his head and cried for a long time, and finally he was tired of crying, and he was hungry at this time, but his thirst was more intense, and the thirst had made him not feel hungry.

Wei Yang jumped off the kang and ran straight out of the yard to the locked gate, where he wanted to see if his mother had come back with a hoe.

However, looking far away through the crack in the door, he saw a group of children in the alley, not knowing what they were playing, and they all had smiles on their faces, except for this, his mother did not appear.

Until the children were called home for dinner by the adults, his mother still did not show up.

After watching them leave one by one, he turned back, and then he hurried to the courtyard to find water to drink.

There are four buckets under the eaves in the courtyard, each of which is used to catch rainwater dripping from the roof.

Weiyang knew that the rainwater was not drinkable, and could only be used to wash clothes, or to water the vegetables in the yard, or to feed the chickens and pigs.

Wei Yang first went to check the buckets, and he found that only one of them had water in it, and the rest were empty, because it hadn't rained for a long time recently.

However, Wei Yang looked at the water in the bucket, and his heart was cold, because there was only water left in the bucket that was less than a finger high, and the water was already dirty and could not be dirty anymore, the water was mixed with rotten leaves and grass roots, and there were many mosquito corpses floating on the water, and a thick layer of silt was precipitated at the bottom of the water, and there was a slight pantothenic acid when smelling it with my nose.

"How do you drink this water?" Weiyang thought to himself, with a disappointed expression on his face, as if he had taken the wrong medicine.

Weiyang stood in front of the bucket and thought hard for a while, and finally decided to drink. Because he searched all over the yard, there was only so much water left.

Only this little water can quench his thirst.

However, before drinking, he hesitated when he looked at the corpse of the insect floating on it, especially the black beetle that he feared the most floated on it, with its feet facing the sky, and its body still shimmering brightly under the oblique rays of the sun......
