Travel through 1972 with a space mall

After Su Jiao finished raking pigweed, she went to the back mountain to collect mountain goods as usual. When she was going down the mountain after gathering mountain goods, she saw a familiar figure not far ahead. The thin Chen Shuting was struggling to drag a bundle of firewood down the mountain.

Su Jiao hurriedly took a few steps forward to help. Just when Su Jiao was about to reach behind Chen Shuting, a long black object suddenly fell from the tree not far away. Su Jiao was frightened and stopped immediately. She stopped and waited for Su Jiao to steady herself and take a closer look. Her scalp suddenly became numb.

Hearing Su Jiao's cry, she immediately took a few steps back.

It turned out that the thing that had just fallen from the tree was a black snake with a black body and about 1.5 meters long. There were only two things Su Jiao was most afraid of since she was a child, one with no legs and one with all legs. .

Maybe Su Jiao's shout just now startled the black snake on the ground. The black snake suddenly raised its head, stared at Su Jiao not far away, spat out a message at Su Jiao, and put its body in a posture ready to attack at any time, frightened. Su Jiao's legs felt weak.

The black snake seemed to see Su Jiao's fear, and immediately found the opportunity to shoot towards Su Jiao with its mouth open. Seeing that Su Jiao was about to be bitten, a thick and long branch suddenly appeared and knocked the black snake down from the air. .

It turned out that Chen Shuting, who was not far away, had just heard the shouting. He turned around and found that it was Su Jiao. He also saw a black snake not far in front of Su Jiao that was about to attack. Chen Shuting quickly threw down the firewood and took a long The branches rushed up, Chen Shuting found the right opportunity and knocked down the black snake quickly and accurately.

Chen Shuting calmly used a wooden stick to lift the snake away, then pulled Su Jiao, whose legs were weak, to grab the firewood and quickly walked down the mountain.

The two of them walked a long way in one breath before stopping out of breath. Su Jiao took a few deep breaths and forced herself to calm down, but her legs were still weak.

Chen Shuting saw Su Jiao's fear and quickly comforted him: "Sister, don't be afraid. The snake just now was a pine flower snake. It's not poisonous and won't catch up again. Most of these snakes are very docile. ."

"Shuting, how did you know that it was a pine flower snake? Did you read it in a book?" Su Jiao heard that the black snake was not poisonous, and half of the fear in her heart disappeared, but when she thought of the long black snake she just saw, she I still feel like my hair is standing on end.

"Last year I saw a pine flower snake on the mountain and was accidentally bitten. At that time I thought I was going to die. After I came down from the mountain, Uncle Hero helped me find Dr. Li in the village to see a doctor for me. Dr. Li told me that It's a pine flower snake, not poisonous." Chen Shuting said easily, showing his small white teeth.

Su Jiao suddenly felt astringent in her heart. The little guy was only seven or eight years old, so mature and sensible that it made people feel heartbroken.

Originally, the family came from a scholarly family, but things changed suddenly. As my grandfather was sent to the countryside for labor reform, the two of them depended on each other and were isolated and helpless. Because his grandfather is old and his legs and feet are not good, little Douding, who is seven or eight years old, has to go up the mountain to collect firewood alone.

"When I was bitten by a snake on the mountain last year, how scared the little guy must have been." Su Jiao thought sadly.

The two rested there for a while. Chen Shuting saw Su Jiao slowly calming down and said, "Sister, it's getting late. Let's go down the mountain."

"Okay, let's go." Su Jiao raised her legs and feet and found that they were no longer weak, so she nodded.

When Chen Shuting heard Su Jiao's response, he turned around and dragged the firewood down the mountain. The little guy was dragging it hard when he suddenly felt that the resistance behind him disappeared. He turned around and found that Su Jiao was helping to lift the firewood again.

Chen Shuting turned around and smiled at Su Jiao, and then quickly started carrying firewood with Su Jiao. Su Jiao suddenly saw the marks on Chen Shuting's little hands, which were already worn out.

Su Jiao felt mixed emotions. She was so frightened that her legs were weak. Chen Shuting had to pull her and drag firewood. Su Jiao couldn't imagine how much strength the little guy had to use. The little guy is so strong and sensible that it makes people feel heartbroken. His hands are even worn out and he refuses to say a word.

Su Jiao gently put down the firewood, raised Chen Shuting's hand and inspected it carefully. She found that both hands were scratched, and the broken skin was stained with wood residue. Su Jiao quickly took out Sister Su's purchase from her pocket. The handkerchief given to her gently wiped the sawdust on Chen Shuting's wound, and occasionally blew the sawdust off her hand.

Chen Shuting looked at Su Jiao with red cheeks and red eyes. Except for his family, no one had been so gentle to him for many years. The grievances in the little boy's heart over the past few years suddenly broke out at this moment, with a "Wow" Cry out loud.

Su Jiao gently hugged the thin and small body in front of her and patted Chen Shuting's back to comfort him.

After comforting him for a long time, Chen Shuting finally calmed down. The little guy blushed and lowered his head, refusing to look at Su Jiao.

"It's so embarrassing. I just rubbed my snot on my sister's clothes. Isn't she going to dislike me?" Chen Shuting thought in annoyance.

Su Jiao didn't know that the young man in front of her was thinking so fast. She thought the little guy was still sad, so she touched the little guy's head comfortingly.

On the way down the mountain, Su Jiao refused Chen Shuting's request to help carry firewood, and carried the firewood down the mountain by herself. Chen Shuting, the little guy, didn't speak all the way. Su Jiao thought she hadn't completely calmed down yet, so she didn't. He continued to speak, but Chen Shuting felt that Su Jiao disliked him for rubbing his nose on her, so he didn't speak. He felt even more annoyed, so he just walked with his head down, and the two of them, each with their own ideas, walked down the mountain in silence.

When he reached the deserted place at the bottom of the mountain, Chen Shuting stopped and reached out to take the firewood from Su Jiao's hand. Su Jiao gently dodged it and said, "Your hand is injured. Sister, please help you take the firewood back." ."

After Su Jiao finished speaking, she carried the firewood and walked towards the firewood shed. Chen Shuting immediately opened his arms and stopped in front of Su Jiao.

"Sister, I'm going to do it myself. I can't let the villagers see my sister with me. If they see me, they will scold me." Chen Shuting said firmly.

Su Jiao looked at Ye Mingyuan's stubborn expression and knew that she could not defeat the young boy in front of her. Su Jiao thought for a few seconds and sighed: "What a stubborn child. If the two of us continue like this, it will be dark in a while." Okay. Let's do this. Sister, take this bundle of firewood home first. When it gets dark and no one is on the road, sister will send it to you quietly. Your hand is injured because of sister. There is no way that sister will let you carry the firewood by yourself. Towed home.”

The little guy hesitated for a long time and nodded.

"Okay, go home quickly. There will be fewer people on the road in a while, and my sister will go find you." Su Jiao patted Chen Shuting's shoulder and said with a smile.

"Yeah, goodbye, sister." Chen Shuting saw Su Jiao smiling at him and speaking so gently. He understood that Su Jiao didn't dislike him, so he immediately bowed to Su Jiao and went to the bullpen happily.

Su Jiao looked at Chen Shuting running away and nodded with a smile, then turned around and went home. The little guy saw that his family was from a scholarly family, he was really polite and very particular.
