【002】 Vanilla
Zhong Kui was not interested in flowers, but was interested in the hands he accidentally saw when passing by the pond.
The reservoir is not a concrete ridge that has been solidified. It is surrounded by ridges made of yellow mud. To draw water, you have to step on the stone piers built by people privately.
The stone pier extends to the shallow water of the pond, and children are hanging around with bamboo poles to fish. There is only one girl, sitting alone on the stone pier, putting her feet into the cool water and playing in the water.
Just when Zhong Mingfa and Zhong Kui passed by the reservoir, the children looked at Zhong Kui strangely and pointed, saying that the monster was coming.
Zhong Kui caught a glimpse of a pair of white hands in the water where the girl was playing with her feet, like plankton, following the floating algae, scratching the soles of her feet up and down.
Zhong Kui knew that his father half-believed his words, and most of them just didn't take it seriously. He always thought that he was a child and couldn't believe what he said. So he didn't tell what he saw until his father asked him to pick wild flowers.
Being so weird, he secretly followed the original path and trotted back to the reservoir.
The half-grown children who were fishing didn't know whether it was because they saw Zhong Kui running towards him or for some other reason, but they all left with a shout.
Zhong Kui didn't know why these big kids were running away and why they were calling him a freak. He couldn't care less and just trotted to where he saw the girl.
The girl disappeared, and Zhong Kui looked blankly at the group of children who had escaped. There was no sign of the little girl, so he stepped up the stone pier step by step, and had to go to the largest stone pier. Because
The girl was sitting on the largest stone pier and playing in the water. When she stepped on the swaying stone pier, her little heart was pounding and she was still a little scared.
Zhong Kui squatted on the stone pier, looking into the water...
Some adults passed by the reservoir and didn't understand what this weird kid was doing. He lay on the stone pier with his hands and stared into the water with his eyes bulging.
At this moment, the adults passing by suddenly saw a string of bubbles rising from the water where Zhong Kui was lying down. Then a child suddenly floated up. This child was a little girl.
When Zhong Kui saw the girl floating, he wanted to stretch out his little hand to catch her.
The adult also said that he saw the opportunity. How could he see a teenage child risking his life and death to save the girl in the water? He shouted, called out to Zhong Kui who stretched out his hand, stepped over in three or two steps, and grabbed the girl in the water.
If you are a girl, bring it up.
The cry of someone falling into the water alerted the nearby villagers who were plowing the fields. He hurriedly brought in the cattle and laid the drowned girl on the back of the cattle. The girl opened her mouth and spat out clear water. After coughing for a while, she gradually regained consciousness.
The girl stared at Zhong Kui as soon as she woke up. She was dripping wet. Under the questioning of the adults, she intermittently told the reason why she fell into the water.
The girl is Zhang's daughter, her name is Xiangxiang, and she is two years younger than Zhong Kui. Xiangxiang was playing in the water on the stone pier of the reservoir, and she felt very comfortable when she put her feet in the water. There seemed to be little fish tickling her soles, and she kept going.
'giggle' giggle.
Vanilla's cheerful laughter aroused the dissatisfaction of the fishing boys not far away, and they cursed: "Girl's movie, it's so noisy and scares away the fish." They couldn't help but pick up the fish on the ground.
Blocks of mud were thrown at the herbs.
Vanilla tried to push herself up while avoiding the mud. She didn't move, but a pair of white hands suddenly stretched out from the water, grabbed her feet and pulled her into the water.
Vanilla was frightened and shouted for help. Those other children, other than Vanilla, were deliberately being pretentious and didn't bother to talk to her. They all concentrated on fishing. After a while, one child suddenly said: "Vanilla is gone."
The children then noticed that where Vanilla was playing in the water, a string of bubbles appeared, and the person disappeared. Some children ran to the stone pier to check, but found nothing. Everyone knew that the reservoir was four to five meters deep, and people fell into the water.
If we go down, even if the adults come, I'm afraid they won't be able to fish them out. What's more, people have drowned here before. Thinking of this, everyone is so frightened that they put away their fishing rods and ran away.
After listening to the story told by Vanilla's parents, Zhong Mingfa couldn't help but cursed: "Bah! These children grew up eating bran food." He cursed and asked in confusion: "They are not much like our Kuier.
Relationship, right?"
Vanilla's mother kept praising Zhong Kui and said to Zhong Mingfa: "It does matter, it does matter. If your children hadn't been there all the time, Vanilla wouldn't have been rescued by kind-hearted people when it floated."
Daddy Vanilla didn't say anything, but silently put the potatoes down, waiting for his wife at the door with an anxious look on his face.
Zhong Mingfa half-smiled at the words of Vanilla's parents. He knew this duplicitous woman very well. She was the one who spread the most ardent rumors in the village. She said that Zhong Kui was a monster and a child born in the cemetery.
After seeing off Vanilla's parents, Zhong Mingfa, who was holding a cigarette in his mouth, raised his eyelids and glanced at Zhong Kui, as if nothing had happened. He felt that this thing was a bit strange. None of the older children saw Vanilla, so why did his own children see it?
Already?
"Kui'er, come here and daddy wants to ask you something."
Zhong Kui looked at his father's gloomy face. He was smiling just now. He could change his face at any time. He didn't know why his father was unhappy again.
The little head was thinking wildly, and he casually brought his father's black tea cup, handed it to Zhong Mingfa attentively and said: "Dad, drink tea."
"You kid, you spent so much time trying to fool your father at a young age. Tell me what happened to Vanilla just now?"
"Vanilla~ She's fine, nothing's wrong!" Zhong Kui didn't know what his father was asking about, whether it was the big kids throwing mud at her, or the fact that she was taken care of by his friends after she drowned in the water.
Things that come out of the water.
"How did you know that Vanilla was at the bottom of the water? How did you make her come to the surface?" Zhong Mingfa thought this question was ridiculous. How could a little older child make a person who was drowning in the water float?
.But if you don’t ask this question, how should you ask it?
"When I saw Vanilla missing, I called my friend to pick her up. It was that simple."
Zhong Mingfa became angry when he heard this almost ridiculous statement. He opened his eyes and scolded: "You damn kid, why did you lie to daddy? Do you really want people to laugh at you and say you are uneducated?
",
The sensible Zhong Kui saw that his father was angry, the veins on his neck bulged, and his throat made a "gurgling" sound, followed by a violent cough. He was so panicked that he hurriedly brought a wooden stool, asked his father to sit down, and raised his little
I hit my dad on the back with my fist.
"Dad, I didn't lie. I have many friends and they are always by my side."
The more Zhong Mingfa listened, the more angry he became. This child is very capable of lying, and he is so eloquent. He said in his heart, "Friend, who among the children in the village is willing to be our child's friend? Since he learned to walk, he has never really had a friend."
Zhong Mingfa had an idea in his mind, but he hadn't said it out yet.
