Chapter 72: Broken Feet

Before the dew and humidity of the morning had completely dissipated, the two siblings had already come to the field.

I haven't seen it for two days, and the green branches and leaves of the soybeans have turned into yellow leaves, and the middle of the leaves is full of oval skin.

Ripe soybeans are hidden in this thin skin.

Looking at the densely gathered and ripe soybean fields, the flowers exhaled before rolling up their sleeves and going to the ground.

On the other side, Hua Yu has skillfully bent down and buried his head, uprooting the roots and branches of a stubble in the ground, and placing them aside neatly.

When the flower learns the appearance of the flower, it also buries its head in the whole bead leaf and uproots it.

The soybean fields are planted in the middle of nowhere, and if you look up, they are all abandoned dry land, and it is the beginning of October, and many crops are not yet ripe.

So the two sisters and brothers buried their heads in the field all morning, and there was no figure around, quietly, only the sound of rustling branches and leaves.

I don't know how long it took, but the sun gradually rose.

The wet dew in the early morning evaporated cleanly when it was basked by the scorching sun.

Hua Shi straightened up, reached out to wipe his sweat, looked at the increasingly hot sun, and frowned uncomfortably.

When the sun has not fully risen, I am tired at most from work, and when the sun rises, my back is hot, the sweat on my forehead and neck is getting more and more, and my face is red and hot.

I can't stand it when I spend it.

It's too hot, and if you continue to dry like this, you'll get heat stroke later......

She scanned around, but couldn't find a place to cool off.

The leaves on the nearest twig were too few and too sparse to shade her from the sun.

When she went out, she also remembered to bring a straw hat or something, and after looking around, she didn't find it, only to know that the Hua family didn't have such a thing at all.

Usually they work in the fields, staring at the scorching sun, and they are directly busy, where is there such a thing as a hat.

"Ah Yu, I can't do it anymore, let's find a place to rest, and then continue to pull it later."

Hua Shi said loudly to Hua Yu, who was still buried in pulling grass leaves.

The young man who was working hard didn't seem to hear it, and the movements of his hands didn't mean to stop at all.

He estimated that Hua Shi would not last long, and after more than three hours, he would not be able to support it, which was also expected by him.

After this large branch and leaf is pulled out, the outer skin that wraps the soybean must be removed, and the soybean inside must be broken out before the work is finished.

With so much activity, he didn't have time to rest and stop at all.

Li is very shrewd, she has done farm work all her life, so she naturally knows how much work she can do without stopping all day.

This large area of land is busy without stopping, and the hands and feet are quick and fast, and at the end of the day, the work can be completed.

When the sun sets, you can go back with a bag full of soybeans on your back.

He also knew in his heart that even if there was no time, Li would let him finish all the work on this land in one day.

It was like this in previous years, and he got used to it.

So when he asked to rest when he heard the flower, the flower didn't intend to pay attention to it at all.

Hua Shi walked to the edge of the ridge, took out the bamboo tube from the basket, and drank a few sips before stopping.

Standing in place and wiping the sweat from her forehead with her sleeve, seeing that Hua Yu didn't take care of herself, she was embarrassed to run to rest by herself, and left Hua Yu to do it alone.

He picked up the bamboo tube that Hua Yu casually placed on the ridge, walked over, and handed it over, "Drink some water." ”

Seeing that the bamboo tubes were handed under her nose, Hua Yucai stood up straight, raised her eyelids, glanced at her, took it, took two sips, and returned it.

Then he buried his head and continued to work, but he couldn't do it, so he could only bite the bullet and endure the sweat all over his body and continue to go to the ground.

As time passed, the sun grew hotter and hotter, and it rose directly overhead.

Looking at the half-emptied ground, the cheeks on both sides of the flower were already red from the sun, and the lips were a little chapped.

The water in the bamboo tube has been drunk clean by her, she carried Hua Yu on her back, and secretly used the water in the spring to make up a little, but she didn't dare to make up too much, for fear that it would be too blatant to provoke Hua Yu's suspicion.

So much so that now that the bamboo tube is empty, she doesn't dare to replenish water in it, so she has to endure her thirst and work all morning, and her stomach is now empty.

The big bowl of white rice I ate in the morning had already been digested.

The whole person was thirsty and hungry......

"Ah Yu, let's take a rest, I'm a little dizzy from the sun."

This time, no matter whether Hua Yuxiu rested or not, Hua Shi couldn't hold it anymore, shouted at him, and then carried his bamboo tube and went to the direction of the lake flow.

The lake is deep and close to the grove, so the sun's rays can't reach that side, so it's just the right time to wash your face and rest.

She didn't expect that Li would suddenly let her work in the field, she knew that she would take out the white noodles in the cabinet and make them, and make a white steamed bun, cake or something.

In the morning, she also went to the kitchen to search again, and when Li saw her humming the rice and grain in the cabinet, she had already stuffed everything she could eat back and locked it up.

So that I couldn't go out with dry food, and I was hungry at this time, so I could only endure it, or take the money to the village to find a family to exchange for food......

Hua Shi pondered, and his footsteps did not stop, and he walked straight in the direction of the lake.

Suddenly, there was a muffled grunt from behind......

"Hiss、——!"

Hanataki frowned and looked back.

Somehow, Hua Yu suddenly fell into the ground of withered yellow branches and leaves, and the whole person curled up, with a cry of pain coming out of his mouth.

"Flower encounter?"

Hua Shi was shocked, hurriedly put down his things, and trotted over to check.

"My... Leg ......"

When I got closer, I saw that Hua Yu was curled up, holding the lame leg with both hands, and the ankle seemed to be twisted.

Hua Shi was originally in a trance from the sun, but he was so frightened that the whole person was sober.

She asked repeatedly, "What's wrong with you?" What happened to the legs? Arrived? ”

I don't know where he was hurt, and I don't dare to reach out to help him easily.

"Legs...、Accidentally stumbled、"

Hua Yu's face was distorted in pain, sweating profusely, gritting his teeth, and slowly speaking.

Only then did Hua Shi reach out to help him, and it took a lot of effort to help the person to sit down on the edge of the ridge.

When he looked down, he saw that his foot, which had already been broken, and the protruding bone, was red and swollen.

Probably because of the old wound again, Hua Yu was in severe pain, biting her lip tremblingly, swallowing the cry of pain back to her stomach, and burying her sweaty face in her arms......

The whole person curled up, lying on his stomach, trembling in pain, and he didn't shout out, but he just endured it.

Hua Shi didn't dare to touch the foot he injured easily, for fear of causing a second injury, frowned, and asked anxiously, "Are you okay?" Do you want me to go back to the village and find someone to come and carry you back, He Yaopo should be able to see the foot injury......"

Seeing that Hua Yu was in severe pain, his whole body was trembling, and Hua Shi said, so he got up and wanted to go back to find someone.

As soon as he stood up, he pulled the corner of his clothes.

"No, "

Hua Yu looked up at her and shook her head.

Only then did Hua Shi see his face clearly, sweating profusely, his eyes were red, there seemed to be a little tear in his eyes, his face was tanned black, but his lips were unusually pale, and his eyes were full of joy when he looked at her, and he had no spirit at all.

"No need to go, I'll be fine later."

When he saw the flower, he was looking at himself, and the flower turned his face away, and his voice came in a muffled voice.

relieved the pain of piercing the heart for a moment, and it seemed to be okay at this time, and it was still within my own tolerance......

"You go and rest, leave me alone."

probably felt that Fang had just broken his foot, and it was so painful that he almost cried out of shame, and Hua Yu's voice unconsciously brought a little annoyance.

It was rare to see him show this fragile appearance, and he didn't mean to laugh at him, looking at his red and swollen ankles, he asked with concern,

"How's your foot? Does it still hurt? Why don't I help you down there to rest," Hanashi pointed in the direction of the lake below.

It's cool over there, the sun is poisonous and spicy here, and it's not a place to rest.

Taking into account his sensitive emotions, when he spends his time, he doesn't ask how he suddenly got to his feet, people are not sages, who can do nothing, and when they are careless, they are enough to suffer when they reach their feet, and asking him the reason is a little more accusatory.

"No, I'll be fine later."

Hua Yu shook his head in refusal, turned his head, and left only the back of his head to Hua Shi.

He didn't say it, Hua Shi also knew that there was still a large piece of soybeans in the field that had been confiscated, and if he went down to rest, he would definitely not be able to finish it today......

"Soybeans can be put slowly, it's okay if you can't harvest them today, my milk has been complaining about me recently, and I can't blame you."

Knowing what he was worried about, Hua Shi reassured.

At that moment, like a young beast, curled up into a small ball, the young man who buried his head in pain and forcibly held back his tears made Hua Shi feel a little distressed and unbearable......

The curled up posture just allowed her to see that the protruding bones on the back of the thin layer of clothes were very thin......

It was also at this time that Hua Shi discovered that Hua Yu was very thin, so thin that through a layer of clothing, he could see his protruding bones.

Dad doesn't hurt, there is no mother's child, under the torture of Li's twisted control, it is common to not have enough food and clothing.

She still remembers that when she first came through, the Li family would always have a slight disadvantage, so she would take them out of anger, such a thick stick, hitting her body, it hurt as you can imagine......

He is also the elder brother of three younger siblings, and when Li is angry and angry, he will always stand in the way.

It's just a kid after all......

The flower met in a place that she didn't see when she was a flower, and reached out to wipe the tears that hurt in her eyes.

Hearing her packing the ticket, she didn't believe it at all, and said in a cold voice, "You said the same thing last time, and she still made me angry." ”

Speechless when flowering.

Indeed, Li's uncertain temperament, as soon as he gets angry, he habitually beats flowers to vent his anger.

"If she starts beating someone, I'll stop her."

Hua Shi had to promise like this.

It was not easy to persuade Li to give her a few thin noodles before, but now she has a quarrel with her, let alone think about it......

Hua Yu eased her emotions, heard this, turned her head and looked at her indifferently.

It's useless to stop it, Li wants to beat him, and he doesn't have the strength to resist at all......

If he dared to resist, the Li family would beat Hua Xiao and Hua Li, and he hadn't tried before......

Hua Yu suppressed the coldness in his eyes, and suddenly remembered the thing that hurt his feet, and his brows furrowed fiercely.

"How come there are so many frogs and snakes in this field all of a sudden?" Hua Yu said with a cold face and an expressionless face.

Field frogs and snakes?

Hua Shi was stunned, and immediately reacted to the meaning of Hua Yu's words, and asked tentatively, "You were frightened by the frogs and snakes that suddenly appeared, so you broke your foot?" ”

Hua Yu turned her head again, leaving the back of her head to face her.

I don't know if it's her illusion, as if I vaguely heard Hua Yu snorting lowly.

Apparently acquiescing to her questioning.

Hanatoki looked towards the side of the field with some curiosity.

It stands to reason that Hua Yu has been working in the fields for a long time, and he grew up in the village, and one or two field frogs and one or two snakes should not be able to scare him......

"I'll take a look."

Hua Shi was puzzled, said a word, and walked towards the place where Fang Cai Hua fell.

I was in a hurry to help the person up just now, but I didn't notice it at all, and I didn't see anything......

Walking over in three or two steps, I only saw the vast soybean branches and leaves crowded together, and looked carefully several times, but I didn't seem to see any field chickens and snakes......

"Rustle—"

The branches and leaves of the withered yellow hay suddenly made a noise.

Seeing the scene in front of him clearly, the pupils of the flower dilated suddenly......
