Children are like wheat seedlings planted in the field, and they seem to grow up when the wind blows gently, and the reason why Yugo found out is because one day when he and Yuanyi came out of the field and were about to go home, they found that Yuanyi, who had only reached his chest, had now grown to his ears.

Yugo was surprised and pulled Yuan Yi to the place where the poem and Yuan Yi measured their height on the door frame, and found that Yuan Yi seemed to have grown a lot compared to last year.

Youguo touched Yuanyi's upturned red hair with great satisfaction, and smiled slightly: "Yuanyi has grown taller again." ”

"Seems like so." Yuan Yi said that his clothes were a little small, and it turned out that this was the reason.

Glancing at the scratches on the door frame with a slightly blank look, Yuan Yi realized that he had grown a lot taller recently.

He raised his hand to touch the scratch that belonged to him, and then looked up at the shallow mark on his head.

Youguo touched his chin to look at the scratch he had just carved for himself, and said with emotion: "I'm also a little taller." ”

That was Youguo's height, and Yuan Yi silently looked at the scratch that belonged to Youguo, and there was still a long way to go from Yuan Yi's scratch.

This is very normal, after all, Youguo is a full three years older than Yuanda, and the three-year age difference may not be very obvious when he grows up, but for young children, it seems to be separated by a moat.

Looking at the trace, Yuan Yi inexplicably had many expectations in his heart: When can he be as tall as his brother?

When Yuan Yi was looking at the traces, Youguo was also thinking, what he was thinking about was also about his height, and he quietly asked the system: "Do you think I have a chance to reach 1.8 meters?" ”

Boys always seem to have an inexplicable obsession with height, and the system says quietly: "Sleep." ”

Youguo: "? ”

The system said: "There is everything in the dream. ”

Yugo snorted angrily, he already knew the result from the tone of the system, and accepted the news with great sadness, and put this expectation of the height that he couldn't get on Jikoku Yuanyi's body.

Holding Yuanyi's shoulder, Youguo said heavily, "Yuanyi, you have to eat well." "I'm going to ask you to grow up when I lost my height.

Yuan Yi didn't understand the reason for the grief and complicated expression in Youguo's eyes for a while, but he still nodded obediently, "I will, brother." ”

Youguo sadly accepted the result that his height might not reach 1.8 meters, and then fished out the poems around him and put them on the door frame to compare them, and was pleased to find that the poems had also moved up a bit.

After being happy, Youguo thought of himself again, so it seemed that he was the one who rose the slowest in the family.

So Youguo, who was happy for a long time, suddenly felt heartache and went to farm in despair.

This year's rainy season came very quickly, there were just two rains recently, the ground was muddy and slippery, Youguo walked cautiously for fear of falling, Shi and Yuanyi followed him and followed his footprints, and not long after working in the field, the children in the village ran over to shout Yuanyi and Shi.

"It just rained last night, so there must have been a lot of mushrooms growing today!" A few children chattered, "Poetry, Yuanyi, do you want to pick mushrooms together?" ”

The poem wanted to go, and looked at Youguo expectantly, but Yuan Yi was probably not interested, and still lowered his head and planted rice in the paddy field

But Youguo said, "Then go." ”

The poem cheered? ()? [(),Wash your feet and put on your shoes to join the children's team,But Yuan Yi didn't move,The children looked at Yuan Yi expectantly,As if Yuan Yi poems their backbone。

Youguo pursed his lips and smiled, and said to Yuanyi: "Yuanyi, you can go too." ”

Yuan Yi stopped what he was doing, he looked at Youguo, and said hesitantly, "But......" His business is not finished yet.

Youguo put his hand on his shoulder and gently pushed it, saying, "It's okay, there are not many things left, I can do it quickly by myself." ”

Yuan Yi was still hesitant, and Youguo Xindao probably wouldn't work to persuade Yuan Yi with ordinary methods, so he thought about it carefully, and said in an expectant tone: "I have some people who want to drink mushroom soup, can Yuan Yi help me pick some delicious mushrooms with Shi?" ”

The effect of this sentence was immediate, and Yuanyi's hesitation soon disappeared, he nodded heavily, and showed a bright smile towards Youguo: "Okay!" ”

He walked over to the children who were waiting for him not far away, and a small cheer erupted from the children's pile, and Yuan Yi and Shi stood in the middle of them and waved at Yuguo, turning around and going to the forest near the village.

Because the forest near the village has been explored by generations of children in the village over the years, I don't know how many times, even if you walk with your eyes closed, you won't get lost, so both the villagers in the village and Youguo are very relieved that they are exploring in the nearby forest, and Youguo is looking forward to Shihe's return with a full of mushrooms.

*

Because of the two rains in a row a few days ago, the air was full of cool and damp smells, and there was still some mud when stepping on the still wet grass, but this difficulty was nothing for the energetic children, and soon found the gift of rain in the forest.

Mushrooms sprung up all over the mountains, and Yuan Yi carefully identified the edible mushrooms and put them in a small bamboo basket on his back.

The bamboo basket itself is not valuable, but Yuan Yi treats it carefully as if it is some rare treasure, because this is the bamboo basket that Youguo made for him, and he has added a few small cuts to his hand.

After the mushrooms had gradually filled the small half of the bamboo basket, Ji Guoyuan Yi suddenly raised his head to look at the narrow sky between the overlapping branches and green leaves, the sky was still blue, but Ji Guo Yuanyi had already known the wind and rain that was about to hit through the gradually increasing sense of water vapor.

He quickly stopped picking up mushrooms, found a nearby poem and said, "It's going to rain, go back quickly." ”

The poem is a little skeptical, because the weather still looks good, and it doesn't look like it's going to rain. But she also knew that Ji Guoyuan never lied, and after a moment of hesitation, Shi turned around and told the other children who were also picking mushrooms the news.

The credibility of Ji Guoyuan's words was particularly high in the hearts of the children, so there was no hesitation, and everyone quickly decided to turn back to the village first, and when everyone stood together, a child suddenly shouted anxiously: "Taro is not here, he seems to have run to a deeper place!" ”

The deeper the woods, the more leafy they become, and the more fungi grow, and mushrooms are a rare delicacy for people in the village who are starved of food, so it is not uncommon to go deeper to guess more mushrooms.

Ji Guoyuan frowned, let some of the young children

Back to the village first, he took the rest of the children and went deep into the depths to find Taro, who was missing.

The deeper you go, the harder it is to walk on the side of the road, and you can faintly hear it

() The sound of the stream murmuring, the children around him shouting Taro's name, and finally finding Taro's response in a wood.

There was a deep ditch left by an earthquake long ago, and the trees near the ditch were twisting and falling, making it a good place to grow mushrooms, but the place was just as wet and dangerous, and the mossy ground could easily slip and fall into the deep ditch if you were not careful.

Seeing the child named Taro, everyone didn't have time to be happy, and the sky above them suddenly sounded a muffled thunder at this time, followed by a heavy rain pouring down, as Yuan Yi just said, the heavy rain came soon.

And that wasn't the most important thing, the children exclaimed, for Taro, who had just greeted them, slipped and fell into the deep ditch behind him from the thunderous noise, and then they heard Taro crying in pain.

They were startled, and Yuan Yi had already rushed to the edge of the deep ditch and jumped down.

……

Youguo waited at the entrance of the village with an umbrella for a long time, the previous group of children have now returned home safely, but Yuanyi and the rest of the children have never heard from him, he is faintly uneasy, and when he is about to raise his feet into the forest to look for it, he sees a child not far away crowded and running towards him quickly.

Without waiting for Youguo to breathe a sigh of relief, he carefully swept over the children who came over, but he never saw the tranquil face that belonged to Ji Guoyuanyi.

The children ran to Yugo crying, and Yuguo's heart jumped, and he heard them say, "Enichi jumped into a deep ditch to save Taro and sprained his foot." ()”

Youguo panicked for a moment, but quickly calmed down and let the other children and Shishi go home first, and he walked towards the place they said without hesitation with his umbrella.

The bean-sized raindrops crackled on the umbrella surface, and the raindrops hit Youguo's body obliquely with the strong wind, and his face was painful and cold.

According to the location marked in red by the system, Youguo quickly found the deep ditch where Yuanyi was, he sat alone on a raised stone, the original neat and clean appearance no longer existed, the soaked clothes were tightly attached to Yuanyi's body, his small body seemed to merge with the stone under him, and he sat silently and silently.

Yuan Yi didn't have the fear that a normal child would have when he was alone, not because he lacked this tendon, but because he was used to such deep dark nights and cold nights.

When the three-fold room was covered with a thin quilt, the wind and rain blew in through the broken window, and the dark night outside the window was like a devil, quietly about to devour him, and Yuan Yi thought: There is no big difference from now.

There was a slight throbbing pain in his ankle, and Yuan Yi was very unfamiliar with such pain, staring blankly at the air.

Who will come to him? I thought about it.

He heard someone shouting his name, and Yuan Yi looked up, and through the dense rain curtain, he saw Youguo's beautiful face hidden in the rainstorm.

He was calling out to him, "Yuanyi.? ()? [()”

Even though it was difficult for Yuan Yi to see Youguo's face in the rainstorm, he could guess what kind of expression Youguo was now.

Worried, nervous, a few small folds will appear between Youguo's eyebrows, like small waves when the wind blows across the lake.

Yuan Yi didn't want to see Youguo worried about him, just like he didn't want to see his mother always show a sad look when she prayed for him when he was young, but paradoxically, Yuan Yi secretly looked forward to seeing Youguo worried about him.

Innate kindness

() and the sense of justice made Ji Guoyuan feel unhappy for Ji Guoyuan to have such a despicable thought, but he couldn't deny the surprise that he saw Youguo at this moment.

Yuan Yi shouted in a small voice: "Brother." ()”

He read very softly and quickly, as if touching a fragile moon reflected in the water, and then he opened his mouth and shouted loudly, "Brother!?" ()_[(()”

Youguo said, "Don't be afraid! Fate one! ”

Yugo tied the trunk of the tree with the rope he was carrying, and then around his waist in another place, and he pulled the rope and slid down the slope little by little, until he finally slipped to the bottom of the slope.

He quickly ran to Yuanyi's side and picked him up, but instead of comforting Yuanyi, Yuanyi didn't have time to react before he found himself pressed by Yugo in the leg and angrily slapped him on the ass a few times.

Yuan Yi was stunned, he blushed and said, "Brother, ......" Yuan Yi thought of the mushrooms in his bamboo basket, stretched out his arms and put them in front of Youguo as if offering treasures.

"The mushrooms weren't lost."

Youguo glanced at most of the mushrooms in the bamboo basket, he touched his face, his face was full of rain, Youguo didn't know whether he was crying or laughing for a while.

He said fiercely, "Don't do it again!" ”

Yuan Yi was at a loss for a moment, he didn't know what he had done wrong, but he knew that he had to apologize to Youguo.

Because my brother is angry.

"I'm sorry." Yuan Yi said quickly, "Don't be angry, brother. ”

Yugo hugged Yuanichi and let him lean against his chest.

Yuan Yi hugged him obediently, put his ear to Youguo's chest, and heard the heartbeat that belonged to Youguo.

Hurried, healthy, like a burning torch.

In this way, Youguo took Ji Guoyuan to pull the rope and climbed up the deep ditch little by little, and said on the way back: "Don't do such dangerous things in the future, Yuan Yi." ”

Enichi didn't ask why, but said, "However, Taro is scared." ”

Youguo took a deep breath, he didn't mind showing his cold side in front of Yuanyi: "That's none of your business, you have to ensure your own safety before protecting others, just leave this kind of thing to the adults in the village." ”

Still hesitating, Yugo pressed his head to his chest to cover the raindrops that fell in the wind around him.

"You have to remember." Youguo paused word by word: "Yuanyi, no one is more precious than yourself." ”

It was a long time before Youguo heard the response that belonged to Jiguo Yuanyi, and he hummed very softly, "I know, brother." ”

Ji Guoyuan was close to Youguo's heart, his red eyes were quiet and peaceful, and he smiled quietly with the corners of his mouth bent.

It's so warm.!
