CHAPTER IX

By this time the fire had long since been extinguished.

"Give me the matches in your jacket pocket."

"There?"

"It's in that pocket on the left."

She reached into her left pocket, and found that there was none, and she reached into her right pocket, and found that there was none. She searched for her two trouser pockets again, but they were still gone.

"Nope."

"How could it not be!"

He didn't mean to blame, just that he was a little too "mental" now.

"Don't believe you're looking for it?" She said, pointing to her jacket pocket

"How could I not believe it! It's not going anywhere, is it? ”

"Reeds." They spoke almost in unison

"It must have been that I fell there when I was changing."

"Yes, it should have been when you crouched down that the match fell out of your jacket pocket."

"Then I'll go look for it, you continue to 'spirit' for a while, and I'll be back immediately."

"Don't be in a hurry, pay more attention on the road."

"Well, then I'll go."

She ran over, and she was afraid that he would be too "mental" and become a "nerve". The match fell on the place where she had been changing, and she picked it up and hurried back again, and soon came to his side.

"What are you running? And no one is chasing you. ”

He could feel that she was running for him.

"How do you know no one is chasing me?"

"I'm not looking at it! There was no one behind. ”

"Why is it gone, that person is far away in the sky, close in front of him."

"I want to chase it, but I want to catch up!"

"Why can't you catch up, the tortoise and the hare race, the tortoise won't win. It's okay to slow down, as long as you persevere, you will eventually get what you want. ”

"Tortoises and rabbits don't race, they don't intersect. It feels like you and me sometimes, you have always been the pride of your family, the pride of the people in the village, and sooner or later you will become a golden phoenix flying out. Since I was a child, my family has been worried, and the people in the village dislike me, and they dislike me for always ruining their vegetable patch. Now he has returned to this field, like a sparrow, with only a sound internal organs, but no thoughts of struggle. ”

"I just like sparrows."

"I think you like to eat sparrows!"

"It's a good idea, when you catch a few, let's bake and taste them."

"I almost forgot about business, didn't we come here to bake clothes! Why did you pull it to the roasted sparrows, and you actually took me into the ditch. ”

"What do you mean to bring you to the ditch, this phoenix sparrow is not all mentioned by you, I will use the topic to play, you know that borrowing the topic to play is my strength."

"You mentioned the tortoise and the rabbit, so when will I catch a king and let's roast it too?"

"As long as you catch it, I dare to taste it."

"What to taste, that Wang Ba is so easy to catch! Faster than even rabbits. ”

"Look you're exposed again! Are turtles and kings the same thing? One on land and one in water. If you don't study hard, you'll be embarrassed again! ”

"If we pull it again, shouldn't we pull it on the egg, the turtle bastard, it seems to have been connected all along!"

"I think you're just. Matches are given to you, and you can make a fire quickly! ”

So saying, she handed him the match, and he lit the withered grass with the match, and then put the withered branches on the burning withered grass little by little. When the fire was a little bigger, he put her wet coat and trousers on the few long hard branches he had picked up at the beginning, half-squatting, holding a hard branch in one hand, and moving the branches in his hands at a uniform speed, mainly to evenly heat up.

"Want to help?"

"No, that's my forte."

"I remember, when we used to catch fish together, your clothes got dirty, and you would ask me to wash them for you, and then you dried them like this."

"What is this called, there is a specialization in the art industry. Learning is your specialty, and this is my specialty. This walking in the rivers and lakes, there must be someone who can handle it. ”

"I can't talk about you, your ability is just nine days away from catching turtles in the moon and five oceans."

"No, the moon is everyone's, I can't take it, or I'll steal it. There is also the five oceans to catch turtles, if this is in your own ocean, it is fine, if you go to other people's ocean, it will be a theft. So no matter how capable you are, you can't do it in the nine days to catch turtles in the moon and the five oceans, and you have to be arrested if you don't do it. ”

"I really can't do it, if you get caught, I'll be the instigator. You'd better do your old job and bake clothes! ”

Saying that, both of them laughed, and it didn't take long for the clothes and pants to be almost baked, and they didn't dare to bake more. He has had experience in this regard, and when it is said to be experience, it is actually a lesson. That is, the matter of catching fish before, after catching fish, when roasting clothes, it was already almost baked, in order to bake more focus, but a hole was baked in the clothes, and when I went back, I was scolded! Since then, he has never missed a hand in baking clothes, and he knows that when he is ripe, he can no longer roast.
