So, Qiao Erzhu found his original good brothers and decided to teach Liu Xiaocui a lesson. But he was afraid that Qiao Jiarong would know, so he deliberately didn't go home with her.

Qiao Erzhu and his group of friends escaped a class and went to the field to kill two snakes.

put it on the way home for Liu Xiaocui, and then several people hid in the grass next to them and waited for Liu Xiaocui to pass by.

Although Liu Xiaocui is older than her classmates, most of the girls are afraid of snakes, and Liu Xiaocui is no exception. When he saw the two snakes blocking the middle of the road, he was so frightened that he cried on the spot, but he didn't have the strength to escape.

And Qiao Erzhu, who was hiding next to him, saw Liu Xiaocui crying. Several people jumped out from behind the grass and laughed, and pointed at Liu Xiaocui and said that she was a coward.

At this time, Liu Xiaocui was already so frightened that he couldn't hear what the people around him were saying except crying.

And Qiao Erzhu and the others didn't notice Liu Xiaocui's abnormality, and after they finished laughing, they each carried their schoolbags and left, leaving Liu Xiaocui squatting alone and crying.

Later, a villager from their village passed by. saw that Liu Xiaocui seemed to be wrong, and sent her home.

The two dead snakes on the road were also kicked by the villager into a small dry ditch next to them.

Liu Xiaocui, who was sent home, developed a high fever that night, and kept screaming: "There are snakes, there are snakes." ”

It wasn't until dawn that the burning slowly subsided. But the whole person was not energetic, and her parents saw that the child was like this, so they had to ask their classmates to help her and the teacher take a leave.

Qiao Jiarong only learned that Liu Xiaocui asked for leave when she went to school the next day, and no one knew why she asked her classmates around her.

Qiao Jiarong was a little worried about her, and planned to go to her house after school.

School ends at 11 p.m. and school starts at 2 p.m. There were three hours in between, and it was a complete rush to the village of Little Elm, which was not far away.

It's just that Qiao Jiarong doesn't know where Liu Xiaocui's home is. I only know that her home is from the small elm village in front, and I have to ask the students of their same village after school.

The culprit, Qiao Erzhu, saw that Liu Xiaocui did not come to school, and felt a little worried and guilty.

But thinking that no one was robbing Qiao Jiarong with him, he quickly forgot that little worry and happily went to play with his classmates.

When school was out at noon, Qiao Jiarong was in a hurry to see Liu Xiaocui and didn't wait for Qiao Erzhu to go together. After she got home and had dinner, she said to Qiao Tieniu and took two apples and went to Little Elm Village.

When I arrived at Little Elm Village, I saw several children playing in the open space at the entrance of the village.

Although Qiao Jiarong didn't know them, she knew that several of these students went to school in their big elm village.

So, Qiao Jiarong took out a small handful of fruit candy from his pocket and came to several people and said, "Do any of you know where Liu Xiaocui's family lives?" ”

"I don't know."

"Who are you? What are you looking for her for? ”

"Who is Liu Xiaocui?"

"Stupid! Liu Xiaocui is Liu Xiaobao's eldest sister. ”

"I know her house is at the end of the row by the river. The one with a lot of haystacks at the door. ”

The children who were playing heard Qiao Jiarong's words and all started talking. Some say they don't know, and some say they know.

Qiao Jiarong heard the news he wanted, and distributed the fruit candy in his hand to these children one by one. They all happily took it and put it in their mouths.

The children who ate sugar were even more positive, and there was a child who knew Liu Xiaocui's family, and said to Qiao Jiarong while eating candy: "I know where Liu Xiaocui's family is?" I'll take you. ”

When the others heard about it, they followed, saying, "I'll take you too." ”

Qiao Jiarong smiled and thanked them and said, "Thank you, I already know." With that, he left.

The children who got the candy just now were very disappointed, and they thought they could get another candy!

Qiao Jiarong didn't know what these children were thinking, she knew the direction of Liu Xiaocui's house, and immediately ran to her house.

When I came to Liu Xiaocui's house, I was a little surprised to see his adobe house, which was much smaller than ordinary people. Then I thought of Liu Xiaocui's age, maybe this is the reason why she went to school late!

Liu Xiaocui's house does not have a courtyard wall, but it has a large barn field.

The youngest son of the Liu family was playing on the threshing floor when he saw Qiao Jiarong walk in. He asked curiously, "Who are you looking for?" ”

"I'm looking for Liu Xiaocui, is she at home?" Qiao Jiarong squatted in front of Liu Dabao and said.

Liu Xiaobao looked at Qiao Jiarong and didn't answer her question, but shouted in the direction of the kitchen: "Mom! Someone came looking for the eldest sister. ”

"Who!" At this time, a middle-aged woman ran out of the kitchen and said.

Liu Dabao pointed at Qiao Jiarong and said, "It's her." ”

Seeing the visitor, Qiao Jiarong guessed that it was Liu Xiaocui's mother. stepped forward to greet him and said, "Hello Auntie, I'm Liu Xiaocui's classmate." She didn't go to school today, so I came over to see her. ”

"Oh! It's Xiaocui's classmate! Come on in.

Xiaocui had a fever last night, she had no strength, and she is still lying in bed! So, I asked her off. Liu Xiaocui's mother said to her while leading Qiao Jiarong to the house.

Qiao Jiarong followed her into Liu Xiaocui and her sister's room.

Probably hearing the sound of talking outside, Liu Xiaocui in the room had already sat up from the bed. After seeing Qiao Jiarong come in, she said happily, "Qiao Jiarong, why are you here?" ”

"I saw that you didn't go to school today, so I came to see you." As he spoke, he put the apples he brought over on the chair at Liu Xiaocui's bedside.

Liu Xiaocui's mother on the side saw the apple Qiao Jiarong brought, and her eyes narrowed into a slit with a smile. She brought Qiao Jiarong a bench and said, "Sit down, Auntie will pour you a glass of water." ”

"Thank you, Auntie! No, I'll be leaving right away, and I'll have to go to school in a while! Qiao Jiarong hurriedly refused.

Liu Xiaocui's mother smiled and didn't speak, and only left after pouring sugar water for Qiao Jiarong.

After she left, Qiao Jiarong asked Liu Xiaocui, "How can you have a fever?" Did you catch a cold yesterday? ”

"I didn't get cold, I was scared by a snake on the road yesterday." Liu Xiaocui shook his head and said.

Liu Xiaocui's words surprised Qiao Jiarong, how could there be snakes on the way this person came and went? Besides, the snake usually swims away quickly when it sees a person, so as not to scare her out of the sick!

Liu Xiaocui saw that Qiao Jiarong didn't seem to believe it, so she hurriedly promised: "Really, that snake died miserably, and it looks so scary." ”

Thinking of the scene at that time, Liu Xiaocui shook her body unconsciously.

When Qiao Jiarong saw it, he hurriedly stepped forward to hug her and comforted her, "Don't be afraid, the next time you see it, close your eyes and pick them to the side with a branch, and you won't be able to see them."

Liu Xiaocui is actually not timid, but she is very afraid of snakes.

But after Qiao Jiarong's comfort, Liu Xiaocui felt as if she was not so afraid of snakes. At least, she closed her eyes now and didn't think about the dead snake from yesterday.

Qiao Jiarong and Liu Xiaocui talked for about an hour, and then said goodbye to her and left school.
