Chapter VI

"Let's go to the river and wash our faces!" She said

"It's time to wash, or you won't be able to see anyone."

So saying, they came to a small river, not far from the wasteland. He didn't let her go into the water, because he knew that she didn't understand water and was afraid of any accidents. He first rolled up the hem of his trousers with his hands to the thighs. Then step one foot into the water and the other foot on the shore, while holding the soil on the shore with both hands, and then slowly step the foot on the shore into the water. After entering the water, he did not rush to wash his face, but held the water in his hand and asked her to wash it first by the river.

I don't know how many times she held it before she washed off the carbon foam on her face. After she had finished washing, he began to dispose of the carbon foam on his face. For him, the treatment is relatively simple, since he is in the water, he just holds the water in his hand and washes it in his face a few times, and it is almost the same.

Just as he was about to go ashore, an accident happened, and she somehow slipped because of her proximity to the shore. It made her have a full-body contact with the water. The water in the creek is generally not deep, let alone on the shore. Her whole body was in the water, but her head was on the water. Seeing this sudden situation in front of him, he hurried to help her. In fact, it doesn't matter if you help or not, because the water is not deep in the first place.

"What should I do?" She was still in the water, a little overwhelmed

"Let's go up first."

As he spoke, he first went up to the shore, and then slowly pulled her out of the water and onto the shore with his hands.

"If I go back, my parents will know about it, but I should talk about me again, they haven't let me play in the water since I was a child, if they know, I will still be with you, and it will be really difficult to distinguish when I am a child."

"You fell into the water, and you didn't play in the water, and what's wrong with me, we didn't catch fish together before, and my uncle asked me to take you out to play more!"

He didn't know that since he dropped out of school, he had long since lost that power. In the past, her parents were quite optimistic about him, and they thought about making him their son-in-law, but now the situation is different. She was a little estranged from him a while ago, on the one hand, because of the lack of study, and on the other hand, it was also related to her parents' teachings.

"I don't care, I can't go back in wet clothes anyway."

"Otherwise, let's go to the place where the corn was roasted, dry the clothes, and you can go back. Anyway, there are still dead branches that you picked up and haven't used up yet. ”

"That's all it can be."

So saying, they walked towards the place where the corn had just been roasted, and it was not long before they arrived. Before starting a fire, he searched for a few longer hard branches and some dead branches. When everything was almost ready, as before, he lit the dead grass with a match, and then put the dead branches on the burning dry grass little by little.

"All right, take off your coat and trousers for me, and I'll put them on this branch. The short sleeves and shorts are not baked, the one dries quickly, and it dries at once while sitting next to the fire. He said, pointing to the long hard branches he had just picked up

"Nope."

"Are you afraid of the cold, not cold, right next to the fire, I'm still too hot. If you're really afraid of the cold, I'll give you my coat. ”

As he spoke, he handed over the coat that he should have taken off a long time ago.

"Still won't work."

"I don't look at anything, and it's not like I've never seen short-sleeved and shorts. Actually, I really think it's easier to dry a little faster with just short sleeves and shorts. If you don't believe it, you'll definitely feel hot then, so it's up to you anyway! You take off your jacket and pants first, and I'll bake them for you. ”

In fact, he has always been in a misunderstanding, boys' shorts and short sleeves are different from girls' shorts and short sleeves. If he had known, he would have taken off his coat and trousers to her. It's not like this, it's always consumed. He just wanted to dry his clothes quickly, and she didn't know how to take them off.

"You take off your trousers for me."

"Okay, okay, you're going to feel hot then."

As he spoke, he took off his trousers again and handed them over.

"Now it's okay! Take it off, it's baked early, and you go home early. ”

"Still no, I have to find a hidden place, I don't know where to find it, you are familiar with this, you see if there is such a place."

"Yes, there is, but there is a lot of grass there, I don't know if there are snakes." As he spoke, he pointed to a looming reed swing in the distance.

He originally wanted to scare her and make her not so troublesome, it was a trivial matter, and there was no need to make such a fuss.
