Chapter 11 Falling into the River
Back in the room, Huzi had already fallen asleep, Lu Jingxiu looked at the sleeping Huzi and smiled, looking at the moonlight outside the window, such a night seemed to be easy to make people sad. Lu Jingxiu turned around and simply sat up on the edge of the bed.
The morning sun shone brightly into the house, and the sun shone on every corner, and Huzi buried his head in the quilt and fell asleep again. Lu Jingxiu was already active in the courtyard, "sucking, spitting", "sucking". I closed my eyes again and felt the power of heaven and earth, and took a deep breath, looking very happy. Pull away the posture, a tiger pounced, raised his legs and jumped, as flexible as an ape, stretched out his arms and hit out, whirring, twisted and jumped very sensitively and retreated to two meters behind him, lifting his breath and retracting, a move white crane wings.
He stood under a thick sycamore at the edge of the yard, stomped his feet, walked on his waist, and slammed his shoulders against the tree. Lu Jingxiu's face did not change, and he leaned firmly on the tree with his shoulder, and the leaves on the tree fell one after another.
"Meditation, get up so early".
"No, I just got up. Okay, Daddy Tiger is back in the house.
After taking a deep breath, Lu Jingxiu returned to the house and patted Huzi on the bed.
"Well, will I be okay if I sleep again". Huzi squinted. "Farewell, uncle is here. Huzi immediately came to the spirit and looked around.
Haha, Lu Jingxiu smiled. "Meditation, you're so annoying. Alas, Huzi lifted the quilt and put on his pants.
"Hurry up, I'll go out first." "Okay, Huzi rubbed his eyes and walked towards the house.
"Come, eat buns, meditate. "Thank you, auntie. Lu Jingxiu took the bun and put it on the table, got up and walked towards the kitchen.
Huzi washed his face, yawned again, and walked lazily to the yard: Hey, there are eggs, white flour buns. Huzi didn't think much about it, peeled one off and ate it.
"Huzi, go and help the meditation to serve it, you will know how to eat!" Huzi Niang pretended to be angry and said. "I'll come, Huzi stuffed his mouth with buns, and ran to the kitchen. Lu Jingxiu came out with a bowl, Huzi took a bowl, and the two of them sat on the stool.
"Where's my father?" Huzi asked anxiously, looking at the food on the table. "Your father will come back later, let's eat first."
"Hehe, Huzi picked up the chopsticks and ate it, after all, I haven't seen such a delicious breakfast for a long time. "Eat quickly, meditate, Huzi urged. "It's okay, I'll wait for uncle".
"Meditation, you eat quickly, your uncle will be back soon, and as soon as the words fell, the door was pushed open. Daddy Tiger looked excited and nervous. "Uncle, Lu Jingxiu stood up and signaled. "Dad, where have you been?" "Let's eat first, I'll talk about it after eating." Hu Ziniang handed Hu Zi's father a pair of chopsticks, and a few people ate the white flour bun.
"I haven't seen a white-faced bun for a long time, Dad, do we have any happy events? There is a fart, Huzi Dad put down his chopsticks: I have just divided the land, the location of our house is not bad, the land has been turned over before, and the soil is quite thick.
"What kind of land, Dad?" Huzi looked confused. "That's okay, Hu Ziniang looked very happy when she cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks on the table. For rural areas, food is life, and land is blood, how can you not be happy when you get a piece of fertile land early in the morning?
Huzi pulled Lu Jingxiu's sleeve, why don't I understand what it means? Lu Jingxiu smiled and said: You'll know in a while!
"Baby, let's go first", Huzi's father divided the hoe, iron rake and bucket to a few people, and gave Huzi and Lu Jingxiu a straw hat. "Let's go!" shouted Huzi's father. The two walked behind Huzi's father. “
"Hey, meditation, this isn't the field we planted before!" Huzi asked, putting down the iron rake. Father Hu Zi came over, stepped on the soil under his feet and said: This land will be our family in the future!
"No, Dad, Huzi was a little surprised. Huzi is like this, Lu Jingxiu explained to Huzi. After listening to Lu Jingxiu's words, Huzi looked at his father with some suspicion, and after getting the affirmation of Huzi's father's eyes, Huzi showed an unbelievable look. "Huzi, you and you have to work hard after the retreat, and your mother will bring you food at noon in the future!" Huzi swallowed a mouthful of saliva and fantasized.
Huzi and Jingxiu are familiar with the road, use an iron rake to plow the soil first, then use a scoop to water the ploughed land, and use a shovel to level the pile of soil, still not as good as a young man, Huzi's father flattened the ground for a while and gasped, Huzi saw this and helped his father to sit aside to rest, and then took off the straw hat on his head and put it on his father.
"Meditation, there's no water, you go to the river and scoop a little", Huzi pleaded a little. "Well, Lu Jingxiu put down the iron rake, picked up the bucket and went to the river.
"I don't know how to help Huzi untie the knot last time." Walking to the river, there were a few children playing and playing. Lu Jingxiu put the bucket aside, half-squatting and scooping the river water into the bucket with a scoop.
"Ouch, don't splash me, one boy was standing by the river and was already crying, and the rest of the children were still pouring water on him, laughing constantly, "Oh, my eyes can't see clearly". As he spoke, he heard a cry for help.
"Help, come on," the children kept shouting for help. Lu Jingxiu hurriedly put down the bucket in his hand and ran over, and the child in the river was struggling in the river with half of his head exposed, patting the water in horror, and he couldn't hold on.
"Someone, a few children by the river cried loudly, and the older ones hurried into the village to ask for help. Lu Jingxiu was a little less watery, and looked at the disappearing head in the river, and immediately poured out the water in the bucket, and rowed next to the child with the buoyancy of the empty bucket.
"Quick, give me my hand, the child handed his little hand to Lu Jingxiu with difficulty, Lu Jingxiu lifted it vigorously with his right hand, the little head exposed the water, gasped for breath, and grabbed the bucket with his left hand and rowed towards the river, and several adults had already come to the river at this time, and poked it with a long bamboo pole. Lu Jingxiu held the child up vigorously and let him grasp the pole with both hands, and at this time, several people by the river pulled back vigorously, and the child holding the pole slowly crossed towards the river.
Just as Lu Jingxiu breathed a sigh of relief, something unexpected happened, and he seemed to slowly fall into the river. "Strange, why are my feet so heavy?" Lu Jingxiu thought that his feet were wrapped around something, and touched them in the river with his right hand. "Nothing?" Lu Jingxiu was puzzled, he waved the bucket in his hand vigorously, only to see his body sinking more and more.
The river had already passed his chin, and Lu Jingxiu shook his head and looked into the water.
A pale face floated silently in front of him, staring straight at him.
