Chapter 50: The Waterways
Everyone faced the overgrown shore, and the plants rising in the water were rare on land, and the height of this plant was also half the height of a person, plus this water, if a person fell, he was afraid that he would be swallowed up.
The water is not particularly dirty, although it is usually used by the people of the village, but no one actually enters it, just like the fear of this unknown thing in people. Generations of elders always keep telling their descendants not to approach the water, and the shadow of the little friends who have the courage to break in has never come out, causing this kind of thinking to continue to deepen and reinforce.
Lilac stepped forward and looked at the river from afar, but it was indeed difficult to see anything.
When the big guy saw Lilac's small body, he felt that she knew everything, and immediately relied on her, thinking of letting her lead the way, this idea appeared in everyone's minds, so none of the voices agreed with Lilac to point in the direction.
Lilac's eyes looked at the river, and her ears kept thinking of everyone's words, and her heart was also impetuous, but she also endured it, she understood everyone's mood, so she couldn't have an uncontrollable demeanor.
Ding Da felt that it was absolutely impossible to let his own girl lead the way, and he was also apprehensive about this river, how could he dare to let his daughter go to this dangerous river, "Lilac is still young, not to mention that she is still a daughter, it is not appropriate, everyone should choose someone else, I am such a daughter, I have not come to get married." I won't. Lilac, you are not allowed to go. ”
"But, Ding Da, we know that you protect your daughter, but we really can't... It's not that you don't know... We're here"
"I'm just this one daughter, if something happens to her, I'm cut off from my grandchildren, how much I love her since I was a child, it's not that the big guy doesn't know, it's not that I can't see it, I really can't bear it."
When Ding Xiang heard Ding Da's words, she was naturally moved, but she didn't change her mind. So he spoke.
"Dad, you also know that I fell into the river and had a serious illness before, but someone guided me in my dream, so Dad, don't worry too much."
Hearing Ding Xiang's words, Ding Da's heart was a little shaken, but the river always made him feel uncomfortable, so it was okay not to go, anyway, he couldn't let his daughter take risks, otherwise he wouldn't be able to explain to the Li family.
"Girl, think about your mother, she doesn't worry about you, you can't ignore your mother, you insist on going..."
"Dad, I'm not just for the big guy, I'm for you, for my mother, we have to live our lives, I can't let you be hurt, I must take this waterway." Lilac apologized again and again in her heart.
Ding Da stared at Lilac, thinking about what words he could use to make Lilac give up this idea, but Lilac said so, I was afraid that she was going to go, and her girl had grown up and had her own ideas.
Seeing this scene, the third uncle could only step forward, "I know your heart, this love, if you are really not at ease, let Xiao San go together, the two of them go, you have to rest assured, Xiao San will also protect the cloves." ”
Xiao San walked in front of Ding Da at the right time, and swore to Ding Da, "I will definitely protect Lilac, if there is an accident, I will do my best to protect her, please rest assured, hand her over to me." ”
Ding Da also wanted to get rid of his strength at this time, full of helplessness, now that the overall situation has been decided, he no longer speaks, he hates, why is he injured, but also hates robbers.
"Xiao San, I'll hand her over to you, and you all have to come back safely." Ding Da turned to Xiao San and said.
Xiao San also nodded heavily when he heard this.
News of the waterway was passed around the village, and the speed of circulation was surprisingly fast.
I don't know when the village began to form an unwritten rule, that is, to take the land route, refuse to take the water route, and not only that, but also to stay away from the river, claiming that the river will drag people, which is extremely terrifying.
Xia Chunqiu will naturally get the news, of course, he also knows that it is Lilac who leads the way, this opportunity, how can he give up, the next second he knows the news, he immediately rushed to the direction of Lilac, who knew that there was no Lilac when he got there, so he asked a villager to know that Lilac would go home soon.
Xia Chunqiu was annoyed that he was too excited when he just came, and he didn't take a good look at the roadside, so he missed it and had to rush back.
Lilac rushed home from the river, not to be busy, to take the waterway, and there was nothing to do on the water, with the memory of his previous life, he could only try to do it himself, the time was pressing, of course, there was also Xiao San's joining, and the strength to live his small body was temporarily unbearable.
On the way home, Ding Xiang also gave Xiao San a general introduction to the practice of bamboo rafts.
It's nothing more than bamboo, and then some bundled objects, just some details in the middle, Xiao San really didn't understand, Lilac just smiled, and said that when he did it later, he would naturally be clear, that kind of sudden enlightenment, or give him his own experience.
Xiao San looked at Lilac's smiling face, and his heart was full of doubts, how did she, a little girl, know this, the elders who were older than her didn't know yet.
When Xia Chunqiu rushed to Lilac's house, he was told that they had just taken some things and went back to the river, he was immediately exhausted, but when he thought of Lilac again, he was full of energy and would never give up like this.
"It's not early today, let's go back first, I've thought of the way, I'll talk to you when I go back, it's about the same, if it's fast tomorrow, I'll be able to leave tomorrow."
"That's great, let's go first, Lilac, you're amazing." "It's really thanks to the cloves today, otherwise we don't know what the result is, those bandits ......" "Let's go, go back, everyone, we have to continue tomorrow."
Everyone walked back happily, thinking about a better life in the future, and discussing the joy.
Xia Chunqiu was running more than halfway through, he met everyone, and found Lilac behind the crowd, he subconsciously ignored Xiao San, and only said to Lilac, "Lilac, look, can you let me join in, I want to help you a little, one more person has more strength." You see..."Xia Chunqiu thought very highly of himself and said to Lilac, thinking that he could easily enter.
But Lilac just glanced at him, and said to him helplessly, "This is not something I can decide, I can't be the master, this candidate is also elected by everyone to be able to do it, if you want to enter, you ask the people in front, if they agree, I have no problem." ”
