The summer sun is always so hot, it seems to make people peel off a layer of skin, and the hot wind blows, making people irritable. The lotus flowers in the quiet lake have withered a lot, but the small lotus canopies have raised their heads.

At this time, it was a hot summer, and half a month had passed since Shen He's birthday banquet.

In the fields outside Shencheng, the old farmers are sitting on the edge of the fields, looking at the yellowed rice in the fields, and thinking about this year's harvest.

The treetops kept screaming, one after another, as if they were spitting out more heat to keep the summer.

The old farmer has no power or power in his life, and he doesn't know what Shen Hegongzi's birthday banquet is, he only has his own land and his wife and children in his heart.

Although the land is not large, it can feed the family for a whole year after paying taxes, which is enough for the old farmer.

He was a little sleepy, took off his hat, put it under his head, and was just about to go to bed when his eyes caught a glimpse of a small figure.

In this big summer, whose children are still running outside.

"That child, where are you, on such a hot day, where are the adults in your family?" the old farmer shouted at the top of his voice.

The little figure didn't answer him, still walking very insistently. Slowly, the little figure got closer and closer, and then the old farmer saw clearly that the child was wearing red clothes and a white hairpin pinned to his head, looking like a child of a rich family. It's just that it seems to have been burned by fire, and there are holes in several places in his clothes, and his face is gray and gray.

The closer he got to the old farmer, the more he felt that something was wrong, the boy was about to pass out, if not a cripple, and he walked staggeringly, and several times he almost fell into the field by the side of the road.

This kid is none other than Shen He.

As the old farmer said, he was not a cripple. At this time, he only felt that the world was spinning, his whole body was weak, his mouth was dry, and he still wanted to sleep a little.

But he didn't, he insisted that he couldn't pass out, he wanted to find Shen Cheng, he wanted to go home.

Oh my God, why can't you find such a big place in Shencheng?

I want to go home, I want to go home......

No, I can't seem to hold on, my legs are so soft and soft, I really want to sleep.

Sure enough, the kid was going to faint. The old peasant rushed up with a swift stride, and grabbed him before he hit the ground.

The pain that Shen He expected did not happen, and instead was replaced by a grassy crook of the arm. He struggled to open his eyes and saw a swarthy face.

"Saved. He was relieved and fainted.

......

When Shen He opened his eyes again, he saw a white bed curtain.

Where am I? Oh yes, I guess I was saved by that swarthy uncle.

He tried to roll over, but found that his legs were sore, his arms were wrapped in strips of cloth, and there were painful protests all over his body.

It seems that it is the result of forcibly running around in the past few days, and I don't know when I will be fine.

Thinking of this, Shen He began to grieve again. Even if it's good, it's still just a waste......

Just when Shen He was sad, there was a "squeak" and the door was pushed open.

"Ah, you're awake," a crisp voice came.

When Shen He looked at it, a pair of big eyes stared straight at him. The owner of the voice was a little girl with a pair of twists, about five or six years old, who spoke with a smile, a small and delicate nose dotted above the thin lips, and the missing row of front teeth was very happy.

"I'm going to call my daddy," before Shen He could speak, the little girl jumped out and ran out, "Dad, she's awake, that little girl is awake......"

When Shen He heard her words, he almost fainted again. No, she's a little girl...... Shen He was extremely crazy, and his breath was suffocated in his chest, almost suffocating himself.

At this time, the old farmer came in, saw that Shen He really woke up, hurriedly put the bamboo basket on his back, walked to the bedside, and said, "Yo, the little guy is awake, how is it, do you feel better?"

"Much better, thank you, uncle. Shen He replied: "Even if it hurts in my body, I can't use my hands." ”

"Hahaha", the man suddenly laughed, "Little guy, you are really joking, brother, I am only thirty this year, how can I be an uncle." But ah, you are really badly injured, I invited the best Lang Zhong in the village to come and treat you, and he said that your injury will not be healed in ten days and half a month. ”

Shen He calculated in his heart that he would probably lie in bed for a while.

"Well, it cost a lot of money," the little girl suddenly interjected.

"What nonsense, money can be compared to human life?" The swarthy man suddenly raised his voice, "When your father and I went up the mountain to chop wood and fell down, the village doctor didn't want me to treat me well. Yaya, you must know how to have a conscience. ”

The girl pouted, her eyes were red, and she stood aside and didn't speak.

Shen He's eyes swept around the house, the black roof of the house was sparsely placed on the wooden beams, and from the exposed gaps, it seemed that it was still covered with thick thatch, the wall was made of clods of soil, and the corners of the wall were thick with dust, presumably the soil on the wall was slowly falling off after a long period of living.

Shen He's heart was sour, although this house is completely incomparable with the Shen Mansion, it is estimated to be their best room, looking at the size of this bed and the bedding on the bed, you don't need to guess to know that it is this little girl's, no wonder she just said that she spent a lot of money......

Shen He felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, and when he went back, he must repay them well. The most important thing now is to return to the Shen Mansion first.

"Uncle, may I ask what kind of place is this, is it far away from Shen Cheng?"

"This is Zhangjia Village, about thirty miles away from Shencheng. What's the matter, little one, do you have any relatives in Shencheng?"

Shen He nodded and said, "Well, my home is in Shencheng." ”

"Well, I'll have to wait until you're healed. At that time, brother, I will send you back. ”

"Okay, thank you, uncle. ”

"Call brother. ”

"I'm only four years old, and you're thirty, shouldn't I call you uncle?"

......

There was a lot of laughter in the room.

In the evening, the maid came in with a night of porridge.

"My dad said, your hand is injured and you can't move, let me feed you. She held the bowl in both hands to her chest, her mouth pursed, and she seemed extremely unhappy.

Shen He looked at her, also a little embarrassed, and said, "Why don't I come by myself." He tried to raise his hand wrapped around the strip of cloth, but as soon as he moved, his heart ached, and his face could not help but show a painful expression, and large drops of sweat began to seep out of his face.

The girl looked at him, frowned, and said, "It's really useless, let's come." With that, he wrapped one hand around the bowl, and with the other he stirred the spoon, and after stirring it in the bowl, he scooped a spoonful and put it to his mouth.

Shen He looked at her very reluctantly, but he was still feeding himself, thinking in his heart that he must not let her down. He opened his mouth wide and took a bite of the spoon.

In an instant, his face flushed.

My mouth, my little mouth with thin skin and tender flesh into rice paper......

Scalded!!

"What's the matter, why don't you move?"

"No, it's okay, it's just touched, I want to cry a little. ”
