die without a problem

Chen Chen usually can't refuse Yu Cong - the latter is very good at making his actions and words rational and just.He dragged him down from the bamboo leaning against the corner of the wall, but he could hear the wind whistling in his ears just a few meters away.Stretching both arms on top of the red brick wall, walking from one end to the other as if walking on thin ice, under the blue sky, the clouds drifted past calmly, and jumped down fiercely at the end.These things made Yu Cong full of courage and pride, but Chen Chen just wanted to stay with him.

Yu Cong said, Chen Chen, pick up your sword.So he picked up the bamboo branches on the ground, resisting his attack in confusion and embarrassment.In the waist-high grass, the blades of grass fluttered and blinded the eyes, and he was caught off guard, and his cheek was whipped.

Chen Chen was stunned because of the pain.Yu Cong was also stunned by that crisp voice.

The scar ran across the right cheek and extended to the root of the bridge of the nose, like a gunpowder wire.Light at first, then darker and darker, like a burn.The slight acupuncture sensation passed, and the whole face was hot.It was extremely painful to sweat again.Chen Chen didn't want to complain of pain.

Yu Cong rushed to him and stretched out his hand, but in the end he didn't touch him.Chen Chen's canthus and corners of his eyes turned red unconsciously.That expression, I don't know if it's sweat or tears, whether it's about to cry, or holding back crying.All the words he wanted to comfort were changed in an instant.

"Chen Chen, you are not allowed to tell your lord."

Chen Chen nodded.

"Look, when we lowered the bamboo pole from the wall that day, you accidentally pushed me, and I scratched such a big hole in my leg, but no one said anything. I didn't do it on purpose today, you can't..."

Chen Chen nodded for the second time, nodding again and again, like a silly tumbler.

That time, Yu Cong's right leg was scratched by the protruding part of the bamboo joint, and there was an eight-centimeter gash above the knee and inside the thigh.

Chen Chen stood there, blank, only Yu Cong's gasping voice could be heard.

"Is there povidone iodine?"

He had only heard of such a professional term on TV and from the doctor in the only hospital in the village.At this time, I only felt panic, "No."

"Where's the alcohol?"

Guilt almost overwhelmed him, "My grandpa finished his wine and haven't bought it yet."

"Then I'll go to the health center, this hole has to be disinfected."

Chen Chen actually had the courage to make an inch of his mistakes, and he stopped him, "No." Once this kind of thing happens, it will be considered troublesome, and he is afraid that Yu Cong's family will not allow him to play with him again.Although Lao Chen was protecting himself, for the sake of his so-called face, he would not let him play with Yu Cong again.

"Why!" The other party frowned, not knowing whether it was pain or because of this unreasonable request.

Chen Chen roared, "It's just disinfection, I'll disinfect it for you." Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, thinking of what to do after being touched by a caterpillar's burr.He pulled Yu Cong to sit on the edge of the bed, took off his shirt, wiped off the dust around the wound, spit a big mouthful of saliva on the palm of his right hand, patted it, and rubbed it back and forth to evenly spread it.

"Damn it!" Yu Cong was dumbfounded.

But it was too slow.The blood is still seeping.

Chen Chen tilted his head and licked it directly.

Yu Cong shrank his legs back, a little scared, unable to say a word.

Back and forth, back and forth, and finally no more blood.Chen Chen stood up thankfully, with a hint of complacency, "Just say it's okay, if you are a hero, you can't tell the adults."

Yu Cong was silent.

Chen Chen was in a hurry, and kept asking and begging in a rare way.

The vegetation, the wind, the white clouds, the singing of cicadas, the waves, the sweat, the steaming heat, and the mole on Chen Chen's right cheek all froze.When thawing, Yu Cong nodded.

The same injury, but on the face, can't hide it.

Chen Chen didn't hesitate, he was a good guy, Yu Cong's coaxing words didn't need to be said, but made him depressed.

"Does it hurt?"

"Ah."

Chen Chen's mole became too big to be ignored in his field of vision.

Yu Cong hesitated, then leaned over, as if angry, "Give it back to you."

Tongue licked the scar, couldn't see clearly, and went to the eyelid.

Wet and hot.Chen Chen closed his eyes and dared not move, and was finally defeated by Tickle.

"It's so salty." Yu Cong stepped back and spat a few mouthfuls, "Does it still hurt?"

No more pain or no pain.His eyes narrowed, and his whole person turned into a smile again.

"Is it quite comfortable?" To show that what he said was right, Yu Cong licked the back of his hand.

"Yu Cong, I feel like a big black dog is licking me." That is, the big black tongue is bigger and rougher.

"Fuck off!"

"Really, Dahei always licked me when he was a child."

"When I was young, how old is it now?"

"Ten years old, more than two years younger than me."

"Then it is dying soon." Chen Chen's expression changed immediately, and Yu Cong was a little at a loss.Carefully avoiding it, and returning to the wound on his face, "But your grandpa will see it."

Chen Chen sighed, climbed onto the bed under the shed, and sat cross-legged, "Then I won't go back to the hut at night, I'll just sleep here and watch the fish pond by the way."

"I'll accompany you, it's so dark at night." He looked far away, and there were graves of generations of ancestors hidden in the rice fields on both sides of the river weir.

Chen Chen raised his head and smiled, the scars on his white face were so inconsistent, but he didn't realize it. "Okay, go and bring over the grapes we picked in the morning. There are frozen watermelons in the well. If you want to eat cucumbers, you can pick them too. Save my grandpa for dinner."

He sat on the edge of the bed, moved slightly to the center, and his legs dangled on the edge of the bed.The whole world fell silent.The sunset is so beautiful.Especially when Yu Cong was carrying grapes with his back on his back, and carrying watermelon with a bag on his arm, walking along the weir, slowly crossing the knee-less grass, and swaying over.

Half of the watermelon per person, each with a spoon.Their belly swelled from eating.

"Let's compete, who can throw the farthest."

They broke off a small piece from the hat-like melon rind, and threw it toward the center of the river against the setting sun, jumping into the twilight and into the darkness one by one.

"Hey, keep a piece, it can also apply to the wound on your face."

Yu Cong woke up early, and there was still a layer of mist covering the river.He was hanging by the bed, carefully covering the sleeping Chen Chen with a thin blanket.The latter's cheeks looked fatter and softer than usual.He poked lightly with his index finger and sank in.

Chen Chen squeezed towards him again, but found that he couldn't squeeze, and woke up.A blank expression, followed by a crooked smile.

Yu Cong scratched the bags on his arms and legs, and said hoarsely.

"Yu Cong, I like to sleep with you."

"Oh." After a while, Yu Cong recalled, always felt that the other party's smile was slightly tricky, "No, why?"

"With you here, the mosquitoes didn't even bite me." After speaking, he deliberately stretched out his two snow-white arms.

Yu Cong also stretched out his arm, which was horrible.There were also legs, waist, and even the face, which were not spared. "The mosquitoes here are too ruthless."

"There are so many trees. I forgot to ask you to wipe the six gods last night." Chen Chen rubbed his head.

Yu Cong also smiled, "You did it on purpose."Then he stretched out his hand and scratched along the scar, Chen Chen blinked his eyelashes. "A little bit."

But there is only one thing, Chen Chen never promised.

When the big fish pond was first excavated, a piece was left in the center for some reason. After it was filled with water, it became an island in the middle of the river, which was less than [-] square meters.It is covered with poplars, willows, reeds and various weeds.Yu Cong has been wanting to go up and have a look, and wants Chen Chen to take him up with the boat on the river.

"There's nothing on it, just like the weir, it's just trees and weeds."

"You have been there, you are so sure."

Chen Chen has nothing to say, he has never been there, nor does he have such curiosity.

Yu Cong took bribes to eat, so he almost called Chenchen and Xiaochen to help cut grass and feed fish.After coaxing him, as long as he promised to give him a complete set of Slam Dunk discs next summer, he finally opened the gap.

Chen Chen has acquired fear and awe towards lakes, rivers, ditches, and canals.When he was eight years old, his neighbor's grandmother was washing clothes by the reservoir, and her granddaughter was playing beside her. When she was excited, she threw herself on her back, and the two of them slipped into the river instantly, and it was too late to call for help.He thought of the time when he put his arms around Lao Chen's neck, leaned on his back, and swam in the reservoir. After this incident, the people who were swallowed became grandpa and himself, and even the memories were full of fear and chills.

When he was in elementary school, he always took side roads in order to go home quickly.Later, there was a child floating on the river that must be passed. I don't know if it was an accident or a dispute. He never walked that road again.

Old Chen warned him that two things are not allowed to touch, one is water and the other is fire.Fire and water are merciless.

After taking nature class, he used plastic bags to tie candles to make Kongming lanterns, but instead of flying into the sky, he flew to his own haystack and burned half of it.Lao Chen chased him with a stick and beat him from the beginning of the village to the end of the village.If it hadn't been for the electrician to save him, he was convinced that he would have been beaten to death.

Memory is deeper than conditioned reflex, and if you do something wrong, you will have to pay a huge price.However, compared with the slam dunk master, this kind of teenager's precarious self-warning, at a certain moment, completely failed.

Chen Chen licked his lips, "Can you swim?"

"Yes! Of course! We now have swimming as an elective in our physical education class."

Chen Chen has a rare cautiousness at this age, while Yu Cong is a typical frivolity at this age.Chen Chen thought, he has done boating around the lake to catch dead fish so many times, the lake is so calm, and the weather is so good, he should be fine.Going up to take a look and leave, Yu Cong knew that there was no difference between Hexin Island and the shore.

Watching Lao Chen go out to buy feed, he won't be able to come back for a while.When they ran to the river, Chen Chen pulled the rope to make the boat close to the bank, and Yu Cong jumped onto it carefully and quickly.The lake swayed, and Chen Chen's heart swayed again and again.Take the rope from the stake, tighten it, and jump on it before the boat swings away.

In the past, it was Lao Chen who commanded the boat, but Chen Chen rowed the boat, so there was still a difference.Now that the two of them were working hard, the river was stirred up by waves, but the boat either stayed where it was or turned in other directions.I don't know how many times the bow turned to the stern before bumping and bumping towards Hexin Island.

"If you don't know how to do it, just stay still. My rowing efficiency is higher than now." Chen Chen roared.From time to time, he glanced at the shore, worried that Lao Chen would come back suddenly.

Knowing that he was nervous, Yu Cong let out an 'oh', and sat obediently.

Little by little the ship approached the target.

"Yu Cong, you paddle instead. Don't let the boat be washed away by the water. I'll find a place to tie the rope." Hexin Island is surrounded by slopes covered with vegetation. Chen Chen held the boat rope and looked for a slightly smaller slope. land, jumped over.Before reaching the flat ground, the whole person lay on the half slope, dragging the willow branches and struggling to climb up.Tie the rope to the root of the tree, turn around and stretch out your hand, "Yu Cong, come on."

The distance from the bow to the slope was not a problem at all, but the boat swung slightly farther.Yu Cong stepped into the air and stepped into the water.The mud on the shore had been soaked in water for a long time, and a piece would fall off as soon as I grabbed it. There was no point of strength, and the whole person struggled, but instead jumped into the water.Obviously can't swim.

Chen Chen's complexion turned pale, his head was in a mess, and he jumped down directly.

"You grab me, don't mess around!"

Yu Cong drank a stomach full of water and was in a daze. When he heard the roar, he struggled a little less.Chen Chen dragged him, grabbed the rope with his right hand, and hung him up with difficulty.The green water is terrifyingly deep, not reaching the chest, bringing a constant feeling of oppression.The river mud under his feet sank quickly with one step, so he had to lift it again and again.He weighed the difficulty and finally decided to get the man ashore first.He touched the end of the rope, wrapped it tightly around his waist, and pulled Yu Cong, who was about the same weight as him.Finally, in a huge panic, he was finally dragged ashore.

Chen Chen laid the person flat on the ground, he could still feel the throbbing blood vessels, but his body temperature was as cold as the river water.His face was dirty, covered with mud and blades of grass, and he felt a wave of overwhelming fear.

Yu Cong coughed, and water dripped from the corner of his mouth.Chen Chen woke up startled, and frantically pressed a few times on his chest, but couldn't help it.Finally, thinking of the episode on TV, I leaned over to meet his lips, wanting to do artificial respiration.But only know one, not the other.His lips were pressed together, and he didn't even know how to breathe, let alone pinch his nose.

Yu Cong coughed again and spit out a big mouthful of water.Chen Chen's mouth was filled with the taste of river water mixed with his own tears.

People finally woke up.

Chen Chen knelt on the ground, propped his hands on the ground, and trembled uncontrollably.I didn't cry anymore, but the tears couldn't stop.

"Chen Chen."

Yu Cong touched his shoulder and was frightened, not daring to approach him any further. "Chen Chen, I'm fine."

"roll!"

Long stretches of blankness and silence.

Yu Cong raised his eyes and looked around - Chen Chen was right, it was no different from Heyan.The trees and grass here are more messy and there are more bugs.

"I saw it, let's go back."

"Ci'ao you, Yu Cong."

Chen Chen completely lost his strength, he needed a lot of time to calm down the huge heart palpitations.I have recalled many times, and I can't recall the details of the return journey.

Yu Cong seemed to have suddenly opened up, showing extraordinary skill and courage, and rowed the boat back.It was not at all like the drowning person before, but Chen Chen's soul was temporarily lost on the island in the middle of the lake.

Yu Cong found Chen Chen's clothes and changed them for himself first.Then he stripped off the clothes of Chen Chen, who had lost his ability to move, and put on dry ones.Then pick up the wet clothes to wash.

"Why are you going!"

"Laundry, selling stolen goods."

Chen Chen jumped off the bed, "I'll go with you."

"Take a break."

"I'm afraid you're gone."

The well water is cool, and the bubbles of washing powder reflect the sunlight into colorful light.Chen Chen sat behind Yu Cong with a small bench, staring at him closely.

Since then, Chen Chen hasn't spoken to Yu Cong for a week, but just followed him every step of the way.
