Chapter 7 Happiness Tortures People

The gentle autumn wind blows on the face, bringing a slight chill. Not far away, reeds live near the water. When you look up casually, you can see clusters of reed flowers, softly swaying in the wind.

Xia Zhu followed her brother to the river and saw clumps of reeds. Groups of wild ducks flew up in surprise and landed far away on the other side. Xia Zhu suddenly seemed to only see roast ducks flying away.

, not caring about the horizon, the reed marshes illuminated by the morning glow.

Hey, people, it is true that only when you are full can you see the beautiful scenery in your eyes. She, Xia Zhu, still looks at the wild duck, which is more tempting and seductive. It has been a long time since she has eaten meat, and even a bite of eggs is not enough.

No.

"Brother, brother, there are wild ducks, let's catch wild ducks to eat." Xia Zhu couldn't help shouting. He drank wild vegetable porridge every day, and there was no oily smell in his stomach. He really couldn't resist the temptation of wild ducks.

"Little sister, we have a lot of wild ducks here. Every year when the rice is ripe, it will harm our rice fields. Our father has to guard the rice fields every year to prevent wild ducks from flying in and pecking the rice." The second brother Wenyou complained.

, bang bang bang.

"Then we catch wild ducks to eat, isn't it just right? It will save our rice fields, hehe."

Xia Zhu thought about the days when he could eat duck meat every day. It turned out that happy days were around him. Xia Zhu felt happy and couldn't wait to catch wild ducks.

"Little sister, wild ducks are not so easy to catch. Look, the river in our village is so big that you can't see the other side. I heard it flows to the sea. We can't stand in the river. Even if we can, it's shocking.

It's impossible to catch a wild duck if it flies. But the wild duck is different. It can fly. It flies over this patch of reeds and then stops in another patch. It's not easy to catch at all. Otherwise, how could we have waited until we were watching like this? We would have been caught long ago.

Finished." Wen Hong said helplessly. He also wanted to catch a wild duck to improve his family. Seeing the little girl staring at the wild duck with bright eyes, Wen Hong knew that the little girl was really greedy.

"Well, I agree with what dad said. Our river is straight. He said there is no foothold, it can't be pulled apart, and it can't catch wild ducks. Well... that's what our dad seems to have said." Wenhong thought to himself.

What my father said before.

"Brother, let's go look for wild duck eggs first. If we can't eat wild duck today, let's take some wild duck eggs back with us, okay?"

It seems that catching wild ducks requires long-term planning. It seems that there is no chance for us today, so we should settle for the next best thing and look at the eggs laid by wild ducks. We won’t even have these. Xia Zhu couldn’t help crying, wild duck eggs

None, then what I see now is the same as in a dream, and the effect of eating in the dream is probably the same.

"Little sister, it's not that big brother disagrees. We don't have a small wooden boat, so we can only look for it on the shore. Big brother will go look for it now, but don't think too much about it. It seems a bit late today. There are some.

The words had been picked up a long time ago, and everyone was having a hard time. Many children were greedy for wild duck eggs, pointing to the wild duck eggs to improve their food. But I can’t tell, we were lucky, and there just happened to be some that had just been laid by a wild duck.

Egg, we have it."

Wenhong knew that his sister was very greedy. Not to mention that she was so young, even he found it difficult to swallow the wild vegetable porridge every day. Wenhong could only work hard to find it inch by inch. He didn't want his little sister to get lost.

"Oh, that's the only way..." Xia Zhu was also very disappointed. Looking at the large swaths of reeds swaying in the distance, she wanted to cry without tears. Why was her time travel so sad? Wild ducks couldn't eat it.

Wild duck eggs are also a luxury. Let’s go home and dream. In the dream, we can still have a few bites of wild duck meat, which is sad...

"Well, little sister, then you and the little brother go for a walk here, and the big brother will look for you. Don't get too close to the river. Little brother, you have to take care of the little sister, do you understand? Remember to go home early later, and the big brother will take care of you.

Go duck. If you don't want to play anymore, just go home and wait for big brother." Wenhong comforted his little sister, thinking that if he searched carefully, he could always find one or two, maybe.

"Okay, big brother, be careful. My little brother and I will wander around. Hehe, we will go home by ourselves, don't worry..." Xia Zhu took Wenyou's hand and ran in the other direction.

"Brother, as long as I am here, I will not let my little sister get close to the river. Little sister, run slowly, I will hold your hand."

Wen You watched the little sister running in the other direction, said hello to the elder brother, and then went to chase the little sister.

"Okay, little brother, let's walk slowly. I'm tired from running, huffing and puffing..." It seems that this little body is really not good enough. After only walking so long, I am out of breath.

Xia Zhu and Wen You, brother and sister, held hands and walked slowly by the river. Wen You broke some reeds for Xia Zhu.

"Little sister, hold it gently, hold it against the reed, and blow it." Wen You folded the reed and let Xia Zhu play with it.

"Huh... little brother, they have all flown away, hehehe..." Xia Zhu took a deep breath and "whooped" the reeds, which floated away in the wind.

"Little sister, let's have fun. I'll fold a few more reeds. The more they blow, the more beautiful they will be. There's still wind here today, and it's so beautiful. Just stand here obediently and don't come over, little one.

When the brother comes, he will give it to our little sister to play with." It is rare for Wenyou to take care of the little sister by himself, and the little brother is very orderly.

"Well... I won't move, just stand here. Brother, be careful." Xia Zhu secretly sighed, I am not a child, you are only 6 years old, and you are still imitating the speech of your parents, so shy

.

In the blink of an eye, Xia Zhu forgot what she had just secretly complained about and started playing with a six-year-old brother. He blew the reeds and looked at the reeds flying in the sky. He couldn't help but smile and narrowed his eyes. He forgot about the wild ducks and the wild wild ducks.

duck eggs.

When I looked up, I found that I was far away from my home, and even further away from the village. We were already at the foot of the mountain, and there was only a dense reed swamp in front of us.

"Brother, we have gone too far. We are so far away from home. Let's sit down and rest for a while before we go. I can't walk anymore."

Wen You looked around and was secretly annoyed. Why did he walk so far? His little sister couldn't walk anymore, but he couldn't carry her either. Forget it, let's take a rest.

Xia Zhu calmed down and took a look. The autumn wind blew down a piece of reed, and something seemed to be exposed. The wind stopped, and the reeds slowly covered it again. Because he was relatively small, he sat down again, but if he didn't look carefully,

It’s also hard to notice. I couldn’t help but wonder for a moment, does curiosity kill the cat? But I’m still curious, what should I do?

"Brother, let's go there and have a look? I just seemed to see something there." Xia Zhu asked Wenyou. Although she was curious, she still didn't have the guts. This kind of exciting adventure is the most uncomfortable.

I wanted to see it but was afraid.

"Brother, are you afraid? I wonder what is there?"

"Little sister, are you afraid? Why don't I go and take a look? If you're in danger, run away and go home and call your mother. Okay?" Wenyou looked excited, but couldn't help but be a little scared. The two little kids discussed it.

stand up.

"Brother, I can't run fast anyway. Let's go over there together and take a look. Just be careful." Although Xia Zhu wanted to say yes, she thought she couldn't be so unloyal and leave her 6-year-old brother behind.

Already.

"Okay, little sister, you have to follow me closely, do you understand?" Wen You was relieved when he heard that his little sister was going to come with him.

Xia Zhu nodded repeatedly, Wen You held Xia Zhu's hand tightly, and the two little people slowly moved forward.

"Little sister, you stand here while I push back the reeds and take a look?" Wen You's voice was a little excited and trembling a little.

"Okay, brother, you have to be careful." Xia Zhu was also excited and asked Wen You to be careful. Anyway, with the two of them being so small, they couldn't run very fast.

Wen You nodded and stretched out his hand to pry open the outermost layer of reeds. He could only vaguely see some shadows, swaying with the wind, but he still couldn't see clearly.

"Little sister, I don't know what it is, it's dangling. Come and help me, and I'll spread it out a little more."

"Okay, little brother, what do you mean?" Xia Zhu was extremely curious.

"I don't know. I'm not strong enough to push through too many reeds. You hold this side for me, and I'll go forward and push away the reeds inside." Wen You had to admit that his hands were weak.

Xiao, let Xia Zhu help him.

Xia Zhu grabbed the outermost reed bush, and Wenyou took a breath and gently pulled out a large clump of reeds inside.

"Little sister, look, look, look quickly, it's a boat, a small wooden boat, a small wooden boat..." Wenyou shouted excitedly, asking Xia Zhu to look quickly. Wenyou only saw a small wooden boat in the neighboring village.

Wooden boat, no one in our village has a boat. Wenyou remembers that time he went to the market with his father and took a look at it from a distance.

Wenyou had dreamed many times that he was driving a small wooden boat through the reed swamps, smiling with happiness. He really woke up laughing in his dreams. Wenyou never thought that he could get so close and watch.

Small wooden boat.

"Brother, it's a boat, oh, it's a boat. It's so beautiful. Hahahahaha." It was like a desperate situation.

"Little sister, stop laughing, be careful to attract people. But why is this boat here?" Wen You looked at the little sister's exaggerated laughter and hurriedly stopped her.

"Hehehe, yes, little brother, do we have such a small boat in our village? How come there is a boat here?" Xia Zhu thinks it makes no sense. Who has a boat and doesn't treat it like an animal?

, there is no reason to leave it like this.

"I remember hearing my father say before that our village doesn't have one. If someone has a boat, it would be a big sensation. It's impossible that we don't know about it. Why don't we go home and ask?" Wen You was not sure anymore. Could it be?

Which family in the village has bought a boat, and their parents have never mentioned it in front of them?

"Okay, that's all. If it's from our village... let's not think about anything." Xia Zhu feels that no matter how hope is, it is so slim, and is often strangled in the cradle. Is it just hers?

Hope is strangled? OMG!

Okay, okay, let's go home. I'm happy for nothing. I've been happy for others for a long time, so I'd better go home.
