Chapter 2 Distress on the Road
"Hurry up, you're a man, you can't catch up with me as a weak woman, hahahaha..."
Xiaoling's mother is our school music teacher, Teacher Ye let her learn piano and vocal music since she was a child, and I like to listen to Xiaoling sing very much in my spare time after school.
"Don't worry, Xiaoling, I'll overtake you soon" I quickened my pace to catch up,
"Wait a minute, Xiao Cheng, the road down this hill is slippery, be careful."
"Don't worry, it's okay," I continued jogging. The hill that Xiaoling and I climbed was indeed very steep, because the road surface was wet and slippery due to the overnight rain last night.
I slowed down and walked side by side with Xiaoling.
"Xiaoling, how do you know that there are a lot of mulberries that no one picks when they are so far away?" I asked with a puzzled face, Xiaoling looked at me and smiled,
"Yesterday Saturday, my mother went to visit Pingping's house, and I also followed, and found that there was a large mulberry tree at the head of Pingping's village, full of ripe mulberries and no one had picked them, and when I arrived at Pingping's house, I learned that there were few children near their home, and the adults were busy with farm work and did not have the heart to pick mulberries ......."
"Oh, I see, Xiaoling, let's hurry up, I'm afraid it's too late and gone."
"Okay, Xiaocheng, it's almost there, there is a small wooden bridge in front, we must be careful."
"Well, okay". I replied heartily. Walked less than five minutes we arrived at the small wooden bridge that Xiaoling said, because it rained overnight, the water in the river has almost overflowed to the bridge deck, Xiaoling took my hand and walked carefully on the bridge, I just started to get better because of illness, just and Xiaoling on the road faster than whom, gradually I began to feel that my face began to turn a little white, my head was a little dizzy, suddenly, the soles of my feet slipped, my left foot stepped into the river, and the small backpack on my back also fell into the river, which contained my favorite milk wafer cookies and chocolate cake, It's going to eat on the road with Xiaoling when she's hungry.
Xiaoling took my hand and suddenly saw me slip into the river, and cried in fright.
"Xiaocheng, you must not have an accident, uncle, aunt, is there anyone? Come on! Help me! Xiaoling cried and shouted loudly...... At this time, it was the time when the adults were busy with farm work, and there were almost no people passing by on the road, Xiaoling held my hand tightly and did not let go, trying to pull me up, but Xiaoling's petite body was not so easy to pull my whole person ashore, and she kept crying......
