"Little Huanghong, don't run, give me back the three-color bird!" A crisp children's voice suddenly woke up the noon tranquility on the dirt road between the houses in the village.

It's the hottest time of the year, the blazing sun is almost cracking the flesh and skin, and the sound of cicadas "knowing the ......" doesn't take into account the thoughts of nappers, which makes people upset.

"Which family catches the melon baby? Don't let people sleep at noon?" The child's scream suddenly provoked bursts of shouting and scolding. It's not easy to fall asleep at noon, and there are noisy children, how can people sleep?

For a while, chickens and dogs jumped in the village, and yellow dust was flying, as if it had exploded.

The yellow mud road also seems to have been roasted by fire, and stepping on it barefoot has the illusion of stepping on the stove. A child of five or six years old rushed forward, and behind him a slightly older child with an angry face chased after him.

The two chased and fled, and soon ran out of the village. As for the adults who were noisy, come on, when will they be able to fall asleep at noon?

"Little Huanghong, why did you rob my tricolor bird? It's a big deal, can't I give you the little turtle?" shouted as the child behind him ran and shouted, his physical strength was already a little exhausted, and he was not far out of the village, so he stopped panting, sweating profusely, and found a big tree to get into it to avoid the sun. The sun was so poisonous that it shone for a short while, as if it was about to be roasted alive.

The child who ran in front saw that there was no one chasing behind him, and he slowly stopped, sweating like rain on his sun-red face, and he was also panting heavily, but there was a trace of helplessness in his big black eyes, "Big stone, it's not that I have to rob your tricolor bird, it's just that you always say that you want to tear off its legs, I can't stand it, as long as you don't treat the bird like this anymore, what can I do if I give it back to you?"

said. The child, who was called Little Wasteland, also stepped into the shadow of the big tree, and took out a little bird with slightly messy feathers from his bosom, which was trembling. This small bird has three coat colors and is unique to the neighborhood. It is very rare, and it is known from the old people in the village that this is a symbol of auspiciousness.

"I'm just talking about playing, I don't believe you ask the little stone, it's too late for me to protect it. How can it hurt it?" the older child was a little aggrieved, and explained anxiously that this was a gift from his father from the back mountain, what if he accidentally injured it?

"That'...... Give it back to you. Xiao Huanghong was still a little unsure, but seeing the big stone in a hurry, he still slowly handed him the tricolor bird.

The big stone also carefully bears the tricolor bird, and it is relieved to see that the little bird is safe and sound.

"Little Huanghong, why are you running so fast?" asked the two children, sitting under the shade of the tree, as the big stone came. "I've never seen you run so fast before. ”

"I don't know, maybe it's because I've been eating more meat lately and I've gained some strength. Xiao Huanghong touched his head and said with a little innocent smile.

The two men sat in the shade of the tree for an hour, and when the sun was not so poisonous, the big stone went away with the tricolor bird in his arms.

Looking at the back of the big stone leaving, Xiao Huanghong also stood up and patted the soil on his body, "It's too hot today, I'll go to the small waterhole to have a look." It's better to take a cool shower than to stay in the house and sweat. ”

As he spoke, Xiao Huanghong spread his feet again and ran wildly, fluttering a little loess.

The small waterhole was discovered when he caught a rabbit in the back mountain and accidentally fell into it. The pool was only three feet wide. Coupled with the fact that there is a dense cover of low bushes, no one will notice it at all.

The waterhole is in the back mountain, very close to the village, and it is only about 100 zhang away. The back mountain is the biggest wealth of the village, and the legend is that a fairy stone fell from the sky and fell into a mountain. Blessings have descended, and the water and soil have been blessed.

The village is built on the side of the mountain and near the water. Since then, the wind and rain have been smooth, the grains are abundant, and the people in the village say that this mountain is the patron saint of the village.

Xiao Huanghong soon entered the back mountain, where the woods were dense, vast as the sea, and the branches and leaves were connected to form a curtain covering the sky, covering the back mountain.

Pushing aside the thick bushes and passing through a dark cave, Xiao Huanghong arrived at the place where he had found the small waterhole.

"This is it. Xiao Huanghong's big eyes were slightly bent, this was his own territory, and it was his own country.

"There's this sweet grass again. Dense grass grew next to the waterhole again, green and lovely, seeing these green grasses, the joy on Xiao Huanghong's face was even stronger.

At the beginning, it was because he chased the rabbit here, and tasted a mouthful of grass by the pool, I didn't want the taste to be very sweet, the juice was refreshing and pleasant, and the most important thing was that after eating these aquatic plants, he had a lot of black stains on his body, and after washing, he found that his strength was a lot greater, so his running speed would be faster and faster.

This aquatic plant is very magical, eat a stubble, and soon it will grow another stubble, it is really an endless fairy and rare grass.

Xiao Huanghong immediately threw himself on the ground, grabbed the aquatic grass that had just grown two or three inches, and stuffed it into his mouth. This is a treasure that others can't ask for, and it would be a pity if it was wasted, Xiao Huanghong thought.

When there was still most of the aquatic plants left, Xiao Huanghong stopped moving, and he had to take it back to his grandfather, his grandfather's body was relatively weak, and every time he ate some aquatic plants, his body recovered a little mental, so every time a water plant grows, Xiao Huanghong will leave a large part for his grandfather to use to raise his body.

"Plop!" Xiao Huanghong kicked off the dirty linen clothes on his body in twos and twos, and quickly got into the small waterhole, soaking happily.

This waterhole is warm in winter and cool in summer, but it is quite wonderful.

There is also a river next to the village, and the friends will go to play in the water on weekdays, but now the sun is too poisonous, and even the river water is warm, but it is not pleasant to swim.

Xiao Huanghong washed away the stains on his body, and the water in the pool was still slightly muddy at first, but after a while, it was clear and clean again. "Let's go down and have a look this time. Xiao Huanghong got out of the water, wiped his face, and got into the waterhole again, this waterhole is only three feet wide, and adults will definitely not be able to enter, but children can come and go freely, and there is no sense of depression.

Perhaps because he had eaten more aquatic plants, Xiao Huanghong drilled deeper than ever this time, and it was no coincidence that a ray of sunlight shone straight into the waterhole through the branches and leaves above the pool.

"Huh?" As soon as the sun shone down, the waterhole immediately brightened up, and Xiao Huanghong only felt that a golden light flashed in front of him, and his heart was filled with curiosity.

I heard my grandfather say that this is the most valuable thing in the world, and if you have gold, you can even live in a big house, sleep in a very big bed, and eat meat every day without moderation.

Thinking of this, Xiao Huanghong's heart suddenly became active, if it was really gold, it would be good, he could treat his grandfather and nourish his body.

Thinking of this, Xiao Huanghong's movements in his hands were faster, and his slightly thin body swam towards the place where the golden light shone like a swimming fish. (To be continued.) )
