Chapter 21: Little Heel
Of course, Lin Na didn't notice the perseverance on Guo Jian's face, what she was thinking about was the cone chestnut scattered all over the ground.
When she and Zhang Ze were picking up cone chestnuts in the mountains, they had already planned to go home from school at noon and put the cone chestnuts they picked up in a pot and fry them, so that she and her younger brothers would not be hungry today.
However, now that she has been beaten to the ground by the teacher, this means that she and her younger brothers can only continue to drink white porridge and pickles at noon.
In the afternoon, I had to go to class hungry again.
Good and hateful!
After Mr. Li interrupted the bamboo whip, he held the corner of the table with one hand and covered his heart with the other, panting and shouting: "I'm so angry!" I'm! ”
When he raised his head, he met Lin Na's angry eyes, and was stunned: "You are still not convinced?" ”
Lin Na didn't speak, her little face was deadlocked, the same as the expression on Guo Jian's face, stubborn.
However, Mr. Li was tired after such a toss, and he had no extra energy to care whether Lin Na was convinced or not.
Unlike Lin Na, Zhang Ze has always been very calm in this questioning.
First, the cone chestnut in her pocket was still there, and second, with Guo Jian's protection, Teacher Li only whipped her.
Guo Jian's disaster today is even greater: he was beaten by Teacher Li up and down with more than a dozen whips, and several whip marks were pulled down on his face, and blood oozed in some places.
I was also beaten, and although I couldn't see the injury while I was wearing clothes, it definitely hurt.
The whip that Zhang Ze was beaten fell right in front of her, and the thin end of the bamboo whip hit her hand, and a wisp of red marks appeared.
It also hurt her for a day or two!
It seems that in the future, I will no longer be able to take Linna so far to find game.
The injury on Guo Jian's face took more than a week to heal.
"Hey, take me with you the cone chestnut you went there to find!"
When he was all right, one day, during the big recess, Zhang Ze was holding Lin Na's hand, preparing to go to the mountains near the school to pick longevity fruits and strawberries, Guo Jian blocked them at the school gate.
Zhang Ze was in a hurry to run up the mountain, and he didn't have time to entangle with him: "We won't go to look for cone chestnut today, we're just going out to wander around." ”
"Then I'll go shopping with you!" Guo Jian didn't plan to get out of the way at all.
"Okay! Then you can run with us! Zhang Ze was worried that if he continued to talk to him, he would be late, so he simply let him follow.
Since then, the two-person line has become a three-person turn.
Guo Jiancheng was Zhang Ze and Lin Na's "follower".
No matter what they did between classes, wherever they ran wildly, there was always a Guo Jian behind them.
The advantage of having a tall boy to follow is that what Zhang Ze and Lin Na usually don't dare to do, with Guo Jianzai, they can do whatever they want.
For example, in the wild, a wild pomegranate was found, and the fruit on it was ripe, but the tree was too tall for Zhang Ze and Lin Na to pick.
In normal times, without Guo Jian, Zhang Ze was worried that he would be late for class, and he was worried that he would fall down if he climbed up, which was unsafe.
At most, find a long bamboo pole or branch nearby and knock the fruit down, or use the most primitive method: shaking the tree vigorously.
The ripe fruit would fall and they would pick it up and eat it or bring it back to school in a bag.
Now, Guo Jian is here, so the glorious task of climbing trees and picking fruits will naturally fall on him!
The fruit that climbs up and picks will not rot, of course, it is better than knocking it down and knocking it down.
Another example is the appearance of a reptile in a ditch in the lawn that is unknown whether it is a yellow eel or a water snake.
If only Zhang Ze and Lin Na were there, Zhang Ze remembered what his mother reprimanded when he caught the yellow eel before: "You can't tell the difference between snakes and yellow eels, don't catch them!" What should I do if I am bitten by a snake? ”
After that, he never dared to catch it again.
Guo Jian will tell! He grabbed the water snake and the yellow eel, put them in the cloth bag he had brought with him, and put them in a secret place to come back after class.
Since following Zhang Ze and Lin Na, he has developed the habit of carrying a cloth bag with him.
Every time you wander, you will reap the rewards.
In the afternoon, he asked Lin Na and Zhang Ze to come to school early, bring the baked delicacy to the school gate, and the three of them quietly hid in a corner where no one saw and ate it secretly.
If there was any leftover, Lin Na would bring her two younger brothers to eat.
In short, Lin Na is very fond of Guo Jian as their follower.
With him, there are more delicacies!
In winter, when the weather was cold, Zhang Ze wanted to dig wild vegetables on the lawn across the creek, but he didn't really want to take off his shoes and go into the water.
Guo Jian volunteered, took off his shoes, braved the biting cold, stepped into the water, and wanted to carry her over.
"Men and women don't kiss, if you carry a girl across the river, you will marry her in the future!"
Zhang Ze said seriously.
"Okay! No problem! Come on! ”
Zhang Ze never expected that Guo Jian would agree so happily, she just wanted to tease him.
"Otherwise, you can carry her first!" She pointed at Linna.
"This ......" Guo Jian straightened his waist, unhappy.
"What? If you don't carry her over, I won't go! Zhang Ze plucked a yellow weed and threw it into the stream.
"Oh well! Come up! Guo Jian bent down.
Linna leaned on his back.
He carried her over without difficulty.
"Remember what I just said!" Zhang Ze took off his shoes, held his socks in one hand and shoes in the other, and walked over by himself.
"Hey! You ......" Guo Jian looked helpless.
"Haha! I'm kidding you! Zhang Ze waved the socks in his hand, and crisp laughter flew in the wind.
