In August, although it is hot, there are times when it rains.
Zheng Tan squatted in front of the window, looking at the scenery outside the window. A toad with a big fist calmly climbed from the concrete road not far in front of the door to the other side.
There were frogs chirping all over the place.
Little grapefruit was lying on the table and drawing, the electric fan was stopped, and the wind outside the window was cool with moisture.
Zheng Tan looked in the direction of Yetang, not knowing where the little girl was going today.
During the recent period of time, Xiaoyouzi and the others only went there every now and then for shrimp fishing, and they would not go to the wild pond every day, but Zheng Tan would go there to help the little girl when he had time. When the weather is sunny, the little girl will be fishing for shrimps in the wild pond. As for the rainy day, she may be catching frogs. The little girl looked thin, and Zheng Tan saw her chop down a snake with thick fingers with the broken sickle two days ago.
At that time, the child's face was not afraid, and even the expression on his face did not change much during the whole process. If he really wanted to say it, there was a little excitement in his eyes. Snakes are also meat. Zheng Tan looked at it, this little girl was probably used to it long ago, and she didn't know how many snakes the sickle had cut. She was brave enough to have a higher force value than ordinary children.
After the rain stopped, Zheng Tan went to Yetang the next day. After waiting for a while, he watched the little girl come over with the "equipment".
Seeing Zheng Tan waiting there, the little girl's originally frowning brows stretched out, and she quickly walked over.
Although it rained only yesterday, the temperature rose quickly after the rain stopped. Coupled with the half-day sun in the morning, many places were not so humid. In a day or two, some dirt roads that were often walked by people were estimated to be the same as those of the previous few days. Same, dry.
Tie earthworms, go down the pole, and then work together. After two or three hours, I can catch some. However, after all, the wild pond is only so big. After fishing for so long, the harvest is not as good as when it first started. This little girl doesn't leave Yetang until after six o'clock in the afternoon every day. Zheng Tan can't do it. He has to come back around five o'clock, otherwise he will have to listen to Jiao's mother. Zheng Tan didn't need a watch, he could guess the approximate time by looking at the sun above his head.
This little girl also knew that the black cat would have to go back at that approximate time every afternoon. But today is different.
Zheng Tan was looking at the rod, staring at the wire. When there was a shrimp clip, the wire would be tight, and the bigger shrimp would even pull the wooden rod. Seeing a shrimp with an earthworm, Zheng Tan motioned for the little girl to come over.
After catching the shrimp, the little girl didn't put the rod down again, but put away the things.
Closing so early today
Zheng Tan was puzzled.
After packing up, the little girl asked Zheng Tan to follow.
Although I didn't quite understand what this little girl was doing, it was still early, so Zheng Tan followed.
Walking to a nearby wooded area, the little girl hid the wooden poles to prevent them from being taken away by other children, and then quickly disposed of the shrimp in the bucket, leaving only the shrimp and some big clips, and throwing away the rest, This can save a lot of effort.
When he was in the woods, Zheng Tan saw that person again. The three of them walked past together. Zheng Tan hid in the grass and stared over there. He also pulled the little girl next to him who was cleaning the shrimp and motioned her to hide.
Seeing that the black cat was so vigilant, the little girl thought that there was something dangerous, so she didn't care about the shrimp, and immediately hid behind the bushes, lying on the ground, looking over there from the gap in the bushes.
After the three of them left, Zheng Tan's tense muscles relaxed.
"Who are they? Did they beat you?" The little girl looked at Zheng Tan suspiciously.
Huh
This little girl doesn't know them
Before Zheng Tan thought that the sisters in the little girl's family were sold to these people by their father, but now it seems that it is different from what he imagined. If it was sold to these people, shouldn't the little girl know none of them
For a while, Zheng Tan really couldn't think of a reason.
After leaving the place where the wooden poles were hidden, the little girl took Zheng Tan a little further and stopped near a fruit forest. There is still a metal mesh on the periphery of the fruit forest, and it is estimated that it is strictly guarded. There is a small stone bridge here, but the original stream under the stone bridge has been dry for many years, and weeds have grown. Moreover, it seems that there are not many people around here.
The little girl slid down the slope, pushed through the grass, and there was a hole in it. Zheng Tan watched her take out some sundries one after another, as well as a small aluminum pot.
There were some green bricks next to the stone bridge, with black marks on them. Zheng Tan watched her encircle the bricks into an "n" shape, then put a small aluminum pot on top, and put them in the cracks at the bottom. Put on the hay firewood, strike the match to light it, and start cooking the shrimp.
Very simple boiled shrimp in white water, Zheng Tan didn't have any appetite, but the little girl looked like she was staring at something delicious.
After cooking, the little girl handed Zheng Tan a shrimp ball, but Zheng Tan didn't eat it, so she solved it all. Put everything back in place after eating.
The little girl told Zheng Tan that this was her "secret base". She would come here most of the time during mealtime, and only went home to sleep at night. There was disgust in her eyes when she mentioned "going home".
It's almost getting dark, and Zheng Tan can't stay here forever.
After Zheng Tan left, the little girl went to another place, pushed aside the grass, and there was a wide-mouth glass jar on the side, and inside the glass jar was the sugar that Xiaoyuzi gave her, and she had eaten three. Now, looking at the remaining two, she sighed, and after hesitating, she picked up one, carefully tore the wrapping paper, took out the sugar inside, sorted out the plastic wrapping paper on the outside, and put it in the can. There are already four wrapping papers stacked there.
With the sugar in her mouth, the little girl lay down against the slope. The milky and sweet smell from the sugar made her like it so much that her eyes narrowed.
At night, Zheng Tan was in a bad mood and couldn't sleep. He ran outside to pee, and he was not used to using the hut. However, seeing that many children here are looking for a place to solve it directly, Zheng Tan will also go to a place where no one is there to solve it secretly.
Turning out the window, Zheng Tan came out of the backyard and ran out. He didn't want to be nearby, and he couldn't sleep now anyway, so he ran away and walked around to solve his inner urgency.
The night in the countryside was not very quiet for Zheng Tan, with constant insects and frogs, and occasionally dogs barking. In the dark of night, Zheng Tan's actions will not be hindered, and sometimes he encounters cats raised by other people in the village, and some are provocative, but Zheng Tan is not in the mood to pay attention to them.
With the evening wind blowing, I took a walk, and then I found a place to solve my inner urgency.
When Zheng Tan was pulling, his ears moved, and someone came over. Originally, he didn't intend to ignore it, and went back after resolving his internal urgency, but the sound he heard stopped Zheng Tan's footsteps as he was about to leave.
It's really fate. I met him once during the day, and I met this guy again at night.
Zheng Tan hid aside, waiting for the person over there to approach.
There were only two people who came over, one was the person Zheng Tan knew who had been pushed into the artificial lake by himself, and the other was probably a villager here, with an accent. The smell of alcohol came from the two of them, and the conversation was full of gossip in the village, as well as some meat jokes, but Zheng Tan noticed that the villager called the person next to him "snake head".
Zheng Tan didn't hear them talk about some core issues, and was a little disappointed. However, it was rare to meet again, and the other party was still someone who drank alcohol. It was the right time and place for Zheng Tan to be in the middle of the night. If he didn't teach Zheng Tan a lesson, he would not be happy.
After thinking about it, Zheng Tan suddenly remembered what was written in the diary of the kid who lived next door. According to the description above, there should be a trap around here.
Zheng Tan sneaked up in front of them from the side, and there was a fork in the dirt road, and the kid wrote in the diary that it was behind the fourth-to-last house, between the fence and the dirt road in the backyard. A hole was dug in a place. They dare not openly dig holes on this dirt road, they will be beaten. When digging not far from the roadside, some villagers turned one eye and closed one eye. Anyway, they only walked on the dirt road. As for the next one, it was obvious that a hole had been dug there, and even weeds did not grow.
However, at night, especially after drinking, my consciousness is not so clear, and I can't see and remember the "obvious" trap.
Zheng Tan found the trap very easily. It was about three or four meters away from the dirt road, and there were many weeds around. It could be seen that few people walked this way. The traps dug by children are very simple. They dig a square pit about half a meter long, and then set up a few thin wooden sticks and spread some grass on them. Zheng Tan also smelled the stinky smell coming from the inside. It is estimated that those bear children will urinate here from time to time, otherwise it would be too simple to just dig a hole.
Zheng Tan tried the bearing capacity of the thin wooden stick, he would definitely fall down when he stood on it, let alone an adult
The two over there were getting closer. Zheng Tan was hiding on the other side of the dirt road, which was different from the trap.
Although he has been drinking, the "snake head" still has some vigilance. He always felt that someone around him was watching him. I took a flashlight and looked around, except for a few insects beating, there was nothing.
Did you drink too much
"What's the matter?" the villager who was speaking up asked when the snake head stopped.
"Nothing." Snake shook his head and continued to walk forward.
The villager didn't care either, and went on to say what he didn't finish just now.
However, the snake head still has a strange feeling.
"Crack!"
There was a small noise from the side.
"Who?!" The snake head looked at the place where the sound came from, but when the flashlight was called, only the wooden fence of the vegetable garden surrounding the family's backyard was seen.
The villagers were about to say something, but the snake head raised his hand to stop it, and his hand without a flashlight took out a dagger from his waist. He first looked in the opposite direction to the wooden fence and made sure that no one would attack from behind, and there was no way to hide anyone here. Only then turned around and walked over to the vegetable garden. There are many places to hide, such as a thatched hut and a simple wooden shed.
Zheng Tan hid in the grass. The grass at this height really couldn't hide people, but it was just right to hide a cat. At the same time, Zheng Tan sighed in his heart that this man's vigilance was really high, and it was probably luck that he was able to push him down the lake last time. But this was just right, he only threw a clod over there, and he passed. At the same time, on the other hand, does this mean that this guy has done something wrong, so he should be more careful
Seeing the momentum, the villager swallowed his saliva and looked around. It was pitch black. He couldn't see even a meter away from him. Only the flashlight could see it more clearly. He didn't bring a flashlight and followed the snake's head, but he didn't dare to get too close to the snake's head. What would he do if he hurt himself
Zheng Tan watched the snake head approach the trap, but the route the snake head took was a little bit off from where the trap was.
The snake head felt that there must be someone hiding around, and the feeling of being watched just now should not be his hallucination. In any case, it is better to be vigilant.
"Pfft!" There was a slight noise from the wooden shed.
Snake head tightened the dagger in his hand, took a few steps there, deviated from the original route, and said to the wooden shed: "Come out, I see you..."
Before the word "you" was finished, the snake head felt a strong attack from the lower back.
This time the snake head was not pushed down directly. He just moved two steps to the side to dodge reflexively. According to normal conditions, he can stand firm. Unfortunately, the place where his feet landed a few crisp sounds, and his feet were When he fell, he fell to the side.
Snaketou knew that the villager was standing not far behind him, and just now he also confirmed that there was no one else in the area behind him, so Snaketou didn't pay much attention behind him, but this situation still happened.
When he fell down, the snakehead was still scolding in his heart: Paralyzed, this is the second time! Apart from being pushed into the lake inexplicably in Chuhua University, this is the second time I was inexplicably recruited!
what is the problem? !
Hit evil? !
