Chapter 148: That Summer
I watched the children wear shoes with bare toes, and watched the babies younger than them also work in the fields on a hot day. Think about the clothes and shoes they throw in the trash because they don't like it, and think about the life they have with nannies when they eat. Such a strong contrast made these city children who spoke out with golden spoons at a loss for a while. The heart was shaken intensely.
Under the leadership of the eldest sister who led the team, the children from the city, although they were incompatible with this small village, they were also slowly integrating into the life here. It is by nature that even if the background of life is different, a child is a child after all. The children in the village learn about the outside world through the children in the city, and the children in the city envy the free life of the children in the village who go up to the mountains to hunt birds and go down to the river to fish. Soon, the children mingled.
The family where Ye Qingyu lives has an average standard of living in the village. But the family is a simple peasant. There are three children in the family, a 12-year-old girl, and two younger brothers, aged 10 and 6. Although life is hard, my ancestors have been like this for generations. So the family didn't see anything wrong with their lives.
Day after day, year after year, in his own few acres of land, according to the season, sowing and harvesting. Ye Qingyu, together with all his friends, participated in the work here. Although she pulled out the corn seedlings as grass, and although there were blisters on her hands and feet, she also fell in love with life here.
Ye Qingyu felt that he had left that oppressive home, and such a day was very comfortable. It's just that the good times didn't last long, and there was an accident in the dull days.
In this hot summer, there are a lot of rainy days. Every time it rains, there is lightning and thunder, and even worse, strong winds. Every time it rains, the villagers are busy packing up everything that is afraid of rain. They would go to the threshing floor to pack the dried grain into bags and transport it home, and they would cover the firewood piles, haystacks, etc. with plastic sheeting. They had to bring the clothes, tools, pots and baskets of the yard into the house, and they had to drive the cattle back to the huts.
This kind of thing is a must be done every time it is cloudy and it is going to rain. It's good that there is plenty of time before the rain, but the most feared thing is thundershowers. Before this could be cleaned up, the bean-sized rain began to smash. What made the villagers even more embarrassed was that it had to rain at night, it was dark, the road was slippery, and they had to get up to pack their things.
It was on that night, about eleven o'clock in the night, that a strong wind blew, and lightning and thunder roared. The people in the village shouted to the left and right, it was going to rain, get up and pack their things. Although it wasn't a thunderstorm this time, there wasn't much time for the village to prepare. Soon the rain poured down, and the villagers went to the threshing floor to pack their things against the red lightning and the thunder above them.
Ye Qingyu and his three children cleaned up the yard at home, and the only flashlight in the family was taken to the grain drying floor by the adults in the family. Because of the thunder and lightning, there was a power outage in the house, and the children packed up their things in the dark. Candles were lit and the three children waited for the return of their families.
Unfortunately, what they were waiting for was the news that the child's father and three villagers had been killed by lightning.
Early the next morning, the person in charge of the summer camp returned with all the city children. Ye Qingyu returned home in a daze. At that time, she was scared, and many questions were swirling in her head. Didn't you say that all the people killed by thunder were bad people? Why was a good person like Uncle Wang struck by lightning? She didn't ask anyone this question.
As he grew older, Ye Qingyu understood. Although she didn't see the situation with her own eyes, she was still afraid of thunder and lightning on a rainy night. Because of that kind of destructive power, several families were destroyed at once. Later, when she was able, she also supported her playmate at the time, but she never returned to that small mountain village.
Ye Qingyu sighed in her heart, in her previous life, before she went abroad, the three sisters and brothers who had gone to the field with her to touch the loaches had already married and had their own children. In that small mountain village, as the people in the village went out to work, there have been great changes, and everything has long been different. But she changed the world and changed her body, and it turned out that she was still afraid of thunderstorm nights.
Ye Qingyu knew that there was such a problem, and she had to overcome it. To be honest, she is not afraid of thunder during the day, she is afraid of the night when there is wind and rain and lightning and thunder. She knew it was her psychological problem. Everything is over, thunderstorms, avoid tall trees and buildings, do not go near water, do not run in the rain, do not linger near metal substances......
Ye Qingyu silently recited the various precautions for lightning protection in thunderstorms, while thinking that if you take safety measures, there will be no accidents. What else is there for her to be afraid of? Also, she just has mental power outside, and people are still in the room. Ye Qingyu is doing psychological construction for himself and wants to overcome psychological obstacles.
The fox suddenly shouted, "Enemy attack!" ā
The people in the room, after hearing the voice, immediately tensed up from their idle state. Ye Qingyu also opened his eyes and sat up.
The fox said with a serious expression: "There are mutant crabs that have begun to gather ashore from the river, and the fourth-level mutant aquatic plants have energy fluctuations. ā
Shen Ye nodded after hearing this, and said, "Eagle, go and inform everyone to prepare for battle." ā
Shen Ye was not worried about the mutated fish and shrimp in the river, he was worried about the fourth-level mutant aquatic weeds.
Ye Qingyu gritted his teeth fiercely, closed his eyes, and released his spiritual power. There was a clattering lightning and thunder outside, and she felt like she was standing under the thunder and lightning. Ye Qingyu's spiritual power was fiercely covered in the corridor outside, without taking a step forward or retreating.
Ye Qingyu didn't listen to everyone's discussion, all her mind was outside. Time passed quickly, and the people in the room only talked a few words, but Ye Qingyu felt as if centuries had passed.
Shen Ye looked at Ye Qingyu, who was pale but had his eyes closed, and was taken aback. He knew that the little girl was afraid of thunder, but he didn't expect to be so afraid.
Shen Ye grabbed Ye Qingyu's hand and whispered, "Little feather? ā
Ye Qingyu opened her eyes and looked at Shen Ye, who was concerned about her, her heart warmed, and she smiled, "Ah Ye, I'm fine." ā
"Well, later, you're in the room, I'll leave those who can't fight, and you take care of them."
Looking at Ye Qingyu, who wanted to speak and stopped, Shen Ye continued: "Obedient, this is the task. The people left behind are all ineffective, and you have to be careful of the sneak attack of the fourth-level mutant aquatic grass. ā
Ye Qingyu knew that the branches and leaves of the mutated aquatic plants could extend indefinitely, and the number of branches was huge, so he really needed to be more careful. Ye Qingyu nodded and took over the task.
Ye Qingyu's spiritual power has always been under the eaves, although her face is pale, she has not retreated her spiritual power because of thunder and lightning. It's already raining outside. ē¹¶äNąį° ⩲㩧ęäį“ gė„īŗčā±»Nļ„ć»17äµć¦ÖŚČ°
