After hearing those words, Li Shi became cold, and simply pretended to be sick and ignored his nephew, leaving him to be careless, and only kept the willow branch by his side. Seeing that Fu Niu'er had barely demolished the house, Liu Wang had to cheer up and take him to the store, gave him a bag of fruits and a spinning top, and let him play on the side; In the evening, take the shop back to the backyard. Li took the willow branch to sleep in the main room, and Fu Niuer slept in the side room with himself.

Liu Wang knew the idea of his brother and aunt, and they threw Fu Niu'er to themselves, even if they didn't agree to pass on it, Fu Niu'er would live for a while and save some food rations for the family. Liu Wang didn't have the heart to send the child back, so he mixed it up, but fortunately, Fu Niu'er was so coaxing, and a bag of snacks could pass the morning.

"Uncle, uncle, I, I want to eat fish" Fu Niu'er said to Liu Wang that day, and Liu Wang asked Li's mother to buy fish and make a sweet and sour fish at noon. Liu Zhi has been holding back at home for several days, and he is so depressed that he heard Li's mother ask if he wanted to go out with him, so he hurriedly cheered and went to get his own small bamboo basket.

When Liu Zhi followed Li's mother and prepared to go out, Fu Niu'er also came: "I, I also want to go out to play, you, you always don't take me to play, I want to, you want to tell my mother." ”

Liu Zhi was not afraid, she put her thumb on the tip of her nose and grimaced at him: "Sue, sue, sue." ”

Dad came out to play a round: "Willow Branch, take my brother out to play." ”

The two little ones followed Li's mother out to buy groceries. Willow Branch carried the vegetable basket, and the familiar neighbors watched her smile and say hello, or stuff a few fruits into her arms. Fu Niu'er's eyes were red, and she dragged her snot to her chest: "Give, give me." Liu Zhi thought he was sloppy, and hid around Li's mother, and Fu Niu'er became more energetic, "Give, give, give me one." Mother Li was afraid that they would make trouble outside, so she coaxed the willow branch to divide the fruit among him. Liu Zhi angrily threw the fruit on the ground, but Fu Niu'er did not dislike it, picked it up and wiped it on his clothes and gnawed it.

The Qingshui River is like a bend of the moon next to Huashi County, the fishermen return with the nets, and the boats are sold at the wharf, which are the freshest. I came a little late today, and the good ones were all picked up, Liu Zhi didn't want to pay attention to Fu Niu'er, and saw that Li's mother and her family were comparing, and the saliva bargaining was rising, so she walked to the shore alone. The clear river water slapped the shore one by one, and the small fish with big fingers drilled back and forth in the aquatic weeds, or stopped to gnaw around a aquatic weed, and swam away like a goddess scattering flowers at a little movement. The little willow branch squatted by the river and watched it, and suddenly someone pushed her in the back, and she fell into the river with a "plop" before she had time to scream.

The small courtyard of the Liu family on Sweet Water Well Street is rare to be quiet these days. Liu Wang was talking to Li, Li was sullen, but he couldn't say anything because his stomach was angry, Liu Wang comforted her: "Lady is relieved, I won't succeed." I don't think Zhi'er is any worse than a man, so it's a big deal to recruit a son-in-law for Zhi'er. Li felt considerate and leaned on his shoulder, Liu Wang saw that Li's chin and neck were fine and white, although he didn't feel moved in broad daylight, so he touched it, and Li's face was flushed. When the two of them were warm, they suddenly heard a commotion outside, and someone faintly shouted about their home, Li hurriedly covered his clothes, and the two of them were shocked, and hurriedly pushed the door out. "Oh, shopkeeper Liu, your girl fell into the Qingshui River!" When he heard the messenger shouting like this, Li's feet went limp, and he sat on the ground on the spot.

"Don't panic, don't panic, I've been rescued." This half of the sentence is really scary.

The willow branches floated in the Qingshui River, and the cool water quickly penetrated her clothes and wrapped her, dragging her body straight down like a living mass. Liu Zhi was panicked and afraid, and before she opened her mouth, she poured water into her mouth, no matter how she fluttered her hands and feet, she couldn't find the focus point, and she couldn't stop sinking.

I'm going to die, Willow thought vaguely. Then a strong arm held her, and with a bang, she emerged from the water, and the willow branch opened her eyes vaguely and saw the sun.

She was able to breathe, and endless fear poured out at this time, and she almost died! opened her mouth to cry, but the water in her stomach made her vomit with a "wow" first. She was spitting water and crying, her hands and feet were shaving, and everyone was pumping. "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, it's good to spit out the water," a clean and clear boy coaxed her in a voice and patted her on the back. The willow branches gradually quieted down, and the people on the shore were clamoring, and the boy carried her and swam back to the shore.

Li's mother was colorless, she had already lost the vegetable basket and shouted her name to pounce, Liu Zhi's eyeballs were soaked in water, painful, she tried her best to see her little brother from Li's mother's arms, but a group of people separated themselves from him.

"Zhi'er, Zhi'er." Willow Branch heard her father calling herself, "Daddy-" She poured water and her voice was hoarse, and when she saw her father's grievances and fear, she opened her arms.

Liu Wang took his daughter, and didn't care that she was still wet, the little one in his arms was still solid, he was finally relieved, and his steps were a little staggering. The Li family had already been looking forward to it at home, and Dr. Liu from Houdetang on a sweet water well street had also been invited, but fortunately, the willow branches had always been sturdy and there was no major problem.

Sending Dr. Liu away, seeing that his daughter slept peacefully, Li came out of the bedroom, Liu Wang and the others were silent in the hall or sitting or standing, seeing her come in with an inquiring look, they all breathed a sigh of relief when they heard that Liu Zhi was not in a big problem and only needed a good rest for a few days.

Li asked Li's mother: "Although Zhi'er is a little naughty, she has always known how to measure, and what she can do can't be clear on weekdays; It's not once or twice that I go out grocery shopping with you. How did you fall into the river this time? ”

Li's mother was still palpitating, she wiped her tears and replied: "I was picking fish, I heard the shout and looked back to see that the girl had fallen into the river. I heard that the people by the river said that Fu Niu'er pushed the girl. ”

Li's face fell, and then he looked at Fu Niu'er, who was unusually quiet when he entered the door, and knew that there was a good chance that this was true. Liu Wang was also stunned when he heard this, a little unpleasant, but he still reluctantly defended his nephew in front of the Li family: "Fu Niu'er is still a child, and most of him doesn't know the consequences." He didn't mean to, he must just want to be stubborn. ”

Fu Niu'er knew that she was in trouble, she was a little scared, curled up in a ball, tears and snot on her face: "Uncle, uncle, my mother, my mother said, saying that I will be your son in the future, and my sister is superfluous, you, it is enough for you to have a son." No, don't want a sister, it's useless to have a sister. ”

These words are simply a knife inserting into Lee's heart.
