After Hao Jiaming returned home from the auditorium of the production team, he went to find his friend Tie Dan in the same village.

After that, the two of them carried a wooden ladder together from outside Cao Juying's stove house and stumbled to the foot of the stone mountain where the privet tree grew.

At this time, it was so dark that only the blurred faces of the people could be seen, and the voices of the people could be heard clearly, and the torches lit by the two people were also burned out and no longer emitted light, Hao Jiaming had to ask Tie Dan to hold on to the wooden ladder at the foot of the stone mountain, and groped his way up the stone wall.

After arriving at the stone wall, Hao Jiaming instructed Tie Dan to move the wooden ladder at the foot of the stone wall: "Tie Dan!" I can't reach to climb the privet tree on the stone wall, I want to borrow the length of the wooden ladder to stand on the privet tree pole, and then I can stand on the ladder and go straight up the tree. ”

"Okay!" Tie Dan replied to Hao Jiaming's words, and moved the two feet of the wooden ladder under the stone wall little by little, and asked Hao Jiaming when he moved a little: "Hey! Did you put it on a tree? The wooden ladder was so heavy that my hands were so tired. ”

Hao Jiaming stood on the top of the stone wall and grabbed the top of the wooden ladder and swept left and right in the direction of his head, and after a few clicks, the end of the wooden ladder swept to the pole of the privet tree, Hao Jiaming immediately replied to the iron egg under the stone wall: "Okay, the ladder is against the tree, you just hold it down, I tell you to let go, you let go." ”

After Hao Jiaming finished speaking, he climbed the ladder and climbed up, but after climbing a few squares, the more Hao Jiaming went up, the more Hao Jiaming felt that the wooden ladder was shaking for some reason, Hao Jiaming shouted to the iron egg under the stone wall: "Hey! How? Why is it shaking so badly? You haven't eaten at noon? I can't hold a ladder steadily. ”

Tie Dan raised his head under the stone wall and shouted: "You come down and see how I helped, my whole body is lying on the ladder, I said is it that you are not stable on it?" ”

Hao Jiaming said suspiciously: "Impossible, after I set up the wooden ladder just now, I shook it a few times and it was steady, why did it shake so much as soon as I came up?" ”

Tie Dan muttered: "I don't know about this, you can find out how I'm holding the wooden ladder when you get down, and besides, you still can't pick it up if it's shaking so badly?" If you don't pick it up, come down and go home, you see what time it is now, my parents have come back from the field, I haven't gone to the field to help work this afternoon, and when my dad comes back to see me, I'm not at home with my younger siblings, and I haven't done housework, and I want my mom to cook and wait for me to eat at home, so late they think I'm playing crazy outside again, and when I go back next time my dad still doesn't know how to beat me, so can you hurry up? ”

Hao Jiaming was also anxious.

My sister is waiting in the auditorium, the stone wall is so dark that I can't see it, usually my sister is on this stone wall, and she is holding a ladder below, and she wants to go up the stone wall by herself at this time, Hao Jiaming can't figure it out.

The branches shook so badly that Hao Jiaming had to go down the ladder again, and after getting off the ladder, Hao Jiaming was a little angry and said to Tie Dan: "Hurry, what fast!" What to urge! What's the matter of beating up your dad, I can't think of beating my dad yet. ”

Hao Jiaming said that he stood on the stone wall and swept the ladder in his hand back and forth and leaned on the trunk back and forth, and leaned on each place, Hao Jiaming shook the ladder tail of the ladder a few times to see if it was stable, and the iron egg moved the two feet of the ladder along the tail of the ladder above Hao Jiaming under the stone wall, and it took a long time for the two children to completely set up the ladder next to the privet tree pole.

After setting up the ladder, Hao Jiaming climbed the tree, and when he saw Hao Jiaming on the tree, Tie Dan asked Hao Jiaming again: "Hey!" I also helped you carry the ladder, the ladder was also erected, you picked the leaves and you could come down alone, after you came down, no one helped you carry the ladder, you dragged the ladder back, I really have to go home, I don't want to be beaten by my dad, you know, the honeysuckle rattan that my dad used to beat people up with a whip and a mark, I can't stand it after beating it once. ”

Hao Jiaming hadn't picked the leaves and branches of the privet tree at this time.

Because the leaves and branches of the ligustrum tree near the stem and branches of the tree are all picked by the villagers who also have a cold and fever, the villagers have been picking up the tree since the tree sprouts in the spring, Hao Jiali's village is not more, there are no less than twenty or thirty households, hundreds of people, from the spring to the current winter, the whole privet tree is picked by the villagers who are sick and only the thick branches and thin branches and thin branches cut with knives are left.

Hao Jiaming didn't bring a firewood knife, Hao Jiaming didn't know that this tree was picked like this, without a firewood knife, the big branches were constantly made, and Hao Jiaming had to keep climbing in the direction of the treetops if he wanted to pick the leaves and branches of the privet tree.

But the more you climb the tree, the thinner the branches, the less bearable, Hao Jiaming tried to step on the thin branches with one foot to see if he could step on it steadily, but his feet stepped on the branches like stepping on a spring, Hao Jiaming used a little force to fall down the branches, and the branches swinged around like swings.

Hao Jiaming had no choice but to say to the iron egg under the tree: "Hey! Egghead! I didn't expect that the leaves and branches of this tree were almost finished for the people in the village, and the remaining leaves and branches at the end of the tree were too short for my hands to reach, so you go back and bring me a firewood knife, and I cut it down and even had leaves and branches. ”

Tie Dan couldn't ask Hao Jiaming to say this, so he responded to Hao Jiaming: "Okay! Then he turned around, and the soles of his feet ran away as if he were on two wheels, leaving Hao Jiaming waiting anxiously on the tree.

Hao Jiaming waited for a while, and never saw Tie Dan come over with a firewood knife, Hao Jiaming had already thought that Tie Dan must have been controlled by his family so late and he was not allowed to go out in the dark, Hao Jiaming had a good hope for Tie Dan.

But Hao Jiaming didn't know what to do, Hao Jiaming wanted to get off the tree and get the ladder and then go home to get the knife, but he took the knife back and went up to the stone wall and no one held the ladder for him, no one helped the ladder, Hao Jiaming knew that the ladder would slip on the stone wall, because the stone wall was steep, there were no trees, no grass, no obstacles, people stepped on the horizontal wood of the ladder, if no one held the foot of the ladder steady, the ladder body would not be able to help the weight of the person's body in the direction of both sides of the stone wall, and the ladder would slip down with the person.

If you don't go down to get a knife and go home, the treetops are unstable, and Hao Jiaming doesn't have so much strength to break it, which means that Hao Jiaming can't pick the leaves and branches of the ligustrum.

"What to do? If my sister can't take this medicine tonight, my sister will be uncomfortable for a night, and it will be even worse tomorrow. ”

Hao Jiaming is in a hurry.

After being anxious for a while, Hao Jiaming made up his mind that he would get the leaves and branches of the privet no matter what he wanted tonight.

Then, Hao Jiaming sat on the thick branches that had been picked out and pondered a way.

It didn't take long for Hao Jiaming to think that the only way was to have no other way but to climb the treetops.

Although this method is not very safe, but at such a young age Hao Jiaming can only be such intelligence, however, there is one thing Hao Jiaming has thought of a more thoughtful way based on his previous experience in digging birds' nests with his friends.

Hao Jiaming thought that if he went up to the treetops, he would be light, and as long as the branches could withstand it after climbing the treetops, then he wouldn't have to be afraid of falling from the treetops.

And even if you fall from the treetops, as long as you fall from the branches, you will definitely fall into the paddy field under the tree, and it is harmless to fall in the paddy field, at most it will get wet, and the soft mud will not damage a single hair of your hair.

But if you can't bear your weight, and the branches of the tree are broken or cracked from the mouth of the tree by your own stepping, and your hands and feet don't even have to grab the branches and step on them, then you will definitely fall directly on the stone wall.

The consequences of falling on the stone wall, Hao Jiaming guessed that it must be unimaginable.

Hao Jiaming was also afraid.

But Hao Jiaming knows that he has no choice, he is not afraid and he is not afraid to come, no matter what the consequences are, his sister's illness is important, my sister must be in the auditorium of the production team now, and it must be very uncomfortable to wait, Hao Jiaming himself has had a cold and fever, and Hao Jiaming has also experienced the discomfort, Hao Jiaming feels that he can't hesitate and delay time no matter what, and the sooner he picks these branches and leaves, the sooner he can let the high fever in his sister's body go down, and his sister will not be so uncomfortable.

Immediately, Hao Jiaming climbed up to the treetops without thinking about anything.

After going to the treetops, Hao Jiaming grabbed the branch above his head with one hand, and then chose two branches with his two feet to step on.

Just when Hao Jiaming's feet were still standing up, the branches had not yet stood firmly, and immediately, he heard the three branches of the branches under his feet and the branches he grasped, which could not bear the weight of Hao Jiaming's body, and at the same time cracked from the mouth of the "click", Hao Jiaming fell from the tree in the blink of an eye.

Hao Jiaming's hands were on the stone wall first, his left wrist was broken and fractured, leaving only a layer of skin connected to the hand rod and the drooping palm, the palm of his right hand was worn by the rough surface of the stone wall, and there was bright red blood oozing out from several openings, Hao Jiaming sat on the stone wall in pain and broke his throat and cried.

The villagers who were eating dinner heard Hao Jiaming's cry, dropped the dishes and chopsticks in their hands, and rushed to the stone wall with torches, and then got Hao Jiaming down from the stone wall and helped him to Uncle Gui's house.

When Uncle Gui saw Hao Jiaming's appearance, he knew that Hao Jiaming had no money, but he had no choice but to give Hao Jiaming a bone.

After Uncle Gui took Hao Jiaming's hand, he successively cut a thin wooden board and put it on Hao Jiaming's wrist, supporting Hao Jiaming's hand pole and palm, and then applied bone-setting medicine to Hao Jiaming's wrist wound, and finally wrapped the bone-setting medicine with cedar bark, tied up the fir bark with an extra-long strip of rotten cloth, and left the rotten cloth that had not been tied with cedar bark, knotted it, and put it on Hao Jiaming's neck, hanging Hao Jiaming's severed hand.

After all this, Uncle Gui said to the villagers standing in the room: "Hao Guang is really not like talking! Bitter these two poor children. ”

The villagers sighed for a while, and no one could speak.

After Hao Jiaming took the hand and applied the medicine, he immediately asked Uncle Gui for the anti-inflammatory herbs on the back of his sister's hand, and briefly described the injury on the back of Hao Jiali's hand.

"What! Your sister was injured by the mass cadres of the production team? "Uncle Gui was on a visit in the village all day, and asked Hao Jiaming without knowing the inside story.

"yes, we saw it with our own eyes." The villagers in Uncle Gui's house confirmed to Uncle Gui.

"It's a disaster! Grandma just fainted and was hospitalized, and her granddaughter was injured again, why is God so short-sighted! Don't let people live! Uncle Gui suddenly angrily "clanged" the medicine box used for the outpatient treatment next to him, and forcefully closed the lid of the open box.

The villagers and Hao Jiaming were silent, and watched Uncle Gui get angry fixedly.

After Uncle Gui vented, he got up and walked to the back room, and without saying a word, he wrapped a bag of dried and crushed herbal powder in paper and gave it to Hao Jiaming, and explained how Hao Jiaming used these medicines.

"Obviously! This medicine is for your sister, this medicine is poisonous and can't be drunk, you must remember. Uncle Gui said to Hao Jiaming several times that it didn't count, thinking that Chen Feng and Hao Jiali were literate, and finally wrote the word "external" on the paper wrapped in medicine, and then stuffed the medicine to Hao Jiaming.

Hao Jiaming took the medicine given by his uncle, and according to Hao Jiali's explanation, Hao Jiaming asked his uncle to register the medicine fee: "Your lord! My sister said that when my family has money, I will definitely pay you the money, so I will trouble you to keep the account first. ”

"We'll talk about that later." Uncle Gui said with a long sigh.

Hao Jiaming immediately said a few words of gratitude to his uncle, and after speaking, Hao Jiaming put the medicine powder in his pocket, and then couldn't wait to drag the ligustrum branch that he stepped on on the tree with his right hand, which was not seriously injured, to go home to boil medicine for his sister.
