The road home was uphill, but fortunately the road was winding up on both sides of the stream, and the scorching sun at two o'clock in the afternoon was fading some of its sharpness by the wind in the forest, and it was rampant.

After walking not far, Le Xiaosi saw the mountain path that he had walked for many years, which was a memory of his childhood.

Suddenly, on a whim, I wanted to find the memories of my childhood, and I told him to take him home on the path.

The trail is relatively hidden, with tall foliage overhead, and there is no sun at all, so the road is refreshing.

The road was about one meter wide, and the two could not walk side by side, Le Xiaosi led the way in front, and Shi Zeng followed closely behind.

The trails rise and fall, and when encountering uphill and downhill roads, Le Xiaosi will trot down like when he was a child, and he also experienced this happiness.

The trail has been untended for at least two years, and the branches on both sides of the road have spread from the inside of the road to the outside of the road due to the unbridled growth of tree branches that have not been repaired, and many sections of the road need to be bent down to pass.

Le Xiaosi grew up, not sad about the fallen branches and leaves in autumn, not afraid of the violent storms and snowstorms in winter, but afraid of snakes appearing on the side of the road in summer.

Even if it is dozens of meters away, as long as she sees the trace of a snake, her legs and feet will be weak and she will tremble.

When she was in elementary school, she went early and returned late every day, and it was common to encounter snakes on the road, but despite this, she still saw snakes like ghosts.

The most terrible time was one day after school, she was on duty, she was the only one on the way home, and suddenly I don't know if she was frightened, a snake sprang out of the grass on the side of the road, pressed her instep and rushed down, just a few seconds, she was scared to the side of the road, half an hour later, she trembled and cried and rushed home.

She was not afraid of anything in the forest until now, but she was still most afraid of the snakes in the valley.

In order not to collide head-on, she can only 'scare the snake' first. As you walked, you picked up rocks on the side of the road and threw them at the grass one after another.

When she reached the middle of the bridge in the valley, she suddenly stopped, turned to face the waterhole at the bottom of the valley, and bit her lip hard, and a trace of sadness appeared in her eyes.

It was very cool here, and Shi Zeng suddenly sat down next to her, facing the waterhole, his hands propped up on the bridge deck, his legs hanging under the bridge, swaying back and forth leisurely.

Le Xiaosi looked at him, sat down too, looked at the stone that had almost killed her, and blinked a few times.

She suddenly raised her hand, pointed at the stone with a smile, and said:

"You know what? I almost died on that rock..."

Shi Zeng looked in the direction of her finger, there were many stones there, he wasn't sure which one it was, but he was more curious about the reason.

Turning his head to look at Le Xiaosi, he asked softly, "What's the matter?" ”

"It was winter vacation that day, the weather was very cold, the storm was fierce, I rushed home from school alone, and when I saw that it was getting dark, I ran as fast as I could, and the snow on this bridge was very thick, and there was ice at the bottom, and I accidentally slipped down from here and fell into that pool."

Le Xiaosi stretched out his finger and pointed to the waterhole, and then pointed to the stone above the waterhole and continued:

"Then I woke up in the waterhole, my right arm and leg were broken, the water was so cold, my clothes were all wet, and I wanted to climb up to the rock. It turned out that he couldn't move his legs, and he couldn't move half of his arms, so he could only move down with the current, and he moved to the rock. ”

Le Xiaosi's expression was relaxed throughout the whole process, and he felt like he was telling someone else's story.

Shi Zeng frowned distressedly, originally thinking that he would comfort her with a few words.
