Dinon

Lying side by side under the willow trees by the small river, Yuan Shuyi looked at the mottled shadow cast by the light bar above his head, clasped his belly with his hands, and there were dark waves of light flowing from his squinted eyes.

She hasn't been this relaxed in a long time.

"Does your wound still hurt?" Tuo Bachen, who was lying on the side, saw that she was half asleep, and couldn't be sure if she couldn't sleep because of the pain, so he asked softly.

Narrow eyes narrowed into a line, Yuan Shuyi turned to look at her, full of jokes, "If it still hurts now, do you still want to help me?"

She didn't say the specific content of the "help", but the person involved knew it well. Tuoba Chen was teased like this, and his face turned red to the neck. She shyly turned her face away and didn't dare to look at it again. she.

The sky is blue and blue, with a few white clouds floating leisurely from one end to the other, and then from that end to this end, curled up comfortably and swaying leisurely.The lying grass just grew in early summer. It is soft and blue in color, and the fragrance of the soil can be carried by the breeze, bringing a trace of water vapor. Even under the sun, it will not make people feel hot.

The surrounding area is very quiet, and occasionally you can hear the cries of grasshoppers, singing a little song, which lulls you to sleep.In such an environment, Tuo Bachen soon fell asleep with his arms on his head.

She seemed to have a beautiful dream, the corners of her mouth were curled up when she fell asleep, in the dream, she must have found what she wanted to find.

Yuan Shuyi listened to the gradually easing breathing of the people beside her, but she didn't feel sleepy at all in such an intoxicating environment.

Yuan Shuyi, who loves to be brave, has never done heavy work. She was mentally prepared when she snatched the wooden shovel made of pagoda tree in Tuobachen's hand. She would definitely be tired this time, but she didn't expect The result turned out to be so tragic.

Not only did she have to endure constant splashes of muddy water to stain her clean clothes when digging the channel, but it was also very difficult to walk in the sticky muddy water. Even if Tuo Bachen gave her a pair of light straw sandals, it was still very difficult for her to walk.Not only that, but the continuous bending over to dig the soil made her back hurt badly, and it was even more uncomfortable to touch the unhealed and complete injury on her left shoulder. What's worse, the wooden shovel made of locust wood was too rough, and she After digging for a while, I felt a stabbing pain in my hand, but when I looked closely, it turned out that my white and tender hands had been rubbed with a few blisters.

Thinking that she was the one who insisted on helping Tuo Bachen, and that she had become like this, Tuo Bachen's soft and weak body didn't know what else to do, Yuan Shuyi gritted her teeth and continued digging, but just like that, her hand Those who are ground are even more powerful.Especially since she couldn't bear the dirt on her body and ran to wash in the river, which aggravated the blisters and the unhealed injury on her shoulder.

Therefore, it is people like Yuan Shuyi who give doctors headaches when they see her, who refuse to tell the doctor about their illness and refuse to follow the doctor's advice.

"Don't move," Tuo Bachen carefully opened her hand, tears were circling in her eyes, she carefully took out a needle from her small purse embroidered with flowers, and stretched it out. I have to help her pick out the blisters.

Seeing that the needle was about to poke into her own flesh, Yuan Shuyi's heart was in her throat.There are two things she fears most in her life, one is fear of pain, and the other is fear of seeing herself bleed.As luck would have it, today I have both.

Turning her head quickly, Yuan Shuyi pretended to be okay and asked her in a relaxed tone, "Aren't you disguised as a man, why are you still carrying a purse that only girls have?" And it was embroidered.

"My mother gave it to me during the Dragon Boat Festival." Tuo Bachen carefully took the needle close to her blister, tried it, and then stabbed it vigorously, and immediately a stream of yellow pus flowed out.

"Hiss—haha, your customs are so interesting." Yuan Shuyi was in so much pain that she no longer knew what she was talking about, and she could hardly hold back the desire to scream, and continued chatting with Tuobachen.

"Didn't all the Dragon Boat Festivals come with purses?" Tuo Bachen asked her inexplicably, and when he heard her panting sound, he paused and asked concerned, "Does it hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt." Yuan Shuyi smiled at her with a distorted expression, "It doesn't hurt at all...er..."

"Oh." Hearing what she said, Tuo Bachen felt relieved and continued to pick blisters for her.

I don’t know if it’s because Yuan Shuyi is so beautiful, even with a distorted expression, or because Tuobachen is too kind and ignorant to be easily deceived. In short, Tuobachen really believed in Yuan Shuyi’s words of “no pain” up.

Yuan Shuyi was about to cry to death, but in order to maintain a beautiful image that coexisted with her beauty, she still pretended to be a normal person and continued, "Maybe it's because we are not from the same region."

"Then which region are you from?" Tuo Bachen's subordinates kept moving, still picking up the blisters for her carefully, and followed her words.

"I, it's... hiss... it hurts!" Yuan Shuyi's hand had four or five blisters of different sizes near the palm, and it would take some time to pick them out one by one. I couldn't bear to be tortured for a long time, so I accidentally screamed out.

"Does it hurt?" Tuo Bachen raised his head when he heard the scream, and saw Yuan Shuyi's beautiful face was full of tears, and the lotus leaves rolled like dew in the morning, which made people feel pitiful.

Tuo Bachen has always been a good girl.

When she was young, she heard people say that when she had sores and pus formed on her body, it would heal soon after being licked by the little sheep.Now seeing Yuan Shuyi crying miserably, and looking at the untimely blisters on her white and tender hands, she immediately thought of that method.

But where did she get the little lamb at this time?

After thinking about it for a while, she came up with an idea, grasped Yuan Shuyi's hand with all her strength, lowered her head and stretched out her pink tongue to help her lick clean around the blisters that were still bleeding, then raised her head and picked it with a needle. There were several blisters, and I licked them with my tongue.

She repeated this action several times without feeling dirty at all.

Yuan Shuyi's body froze the moment her tongue was attached to it, and he let her move without moving.She grows up so big, and has seen so many changes in the world, even a slave doesn't treat her master like this. What is this silly girl doing to herself?

When she regained her senses, Yuan Shuyi grabbed her and stopped her from continuing to lick her wounds. Regardless of her bloody hands, she grabbed her shoulders with both hands, stared at her eyes, and "Tuo Ba Chen, don't be stupid."

"Oh." Tuo Bachen was so anxious that he pulled her arm and was about to pull her hand off his shoulder. "Your hand! Although the pus is gone, there is still blood in any festered wound. Let go!"

The anxiety in her eyes could not be concealed in her words, her eyes were so clear and pure.Yuan Shuyi couldn't help but think of the fierce horse she tamed on the grassland when she was ten years old. When she saw it for the first time, its eyes were also like this, so clear that it seemed to be able to illuminate people's hearts.

The small river flows from the east, wrapping around the whole village like a jade belt.Villagers not only use water from the small river for cooking and washing, but also water the seedlings in the fields.Also, most of the fields in the village are dry land that needs to be irrigated, so the creek has become indispensable.Fortunately, the fields of the people in the village are not far from the small river, especially the few acres of wasteland left by Tuoba Chen's family are not even half a mile away from the small river, otherwise just carrying water would be enough for people.

Tuo Bachen was still sleeping peacefully, obediently keeping her sleeping position motionless.Yuan Shuyi plucked a dog's tail grass from the grass by the river, quietly walked up to Tuo Bachen, scratched her small nose, and plucked her eyelashes a few times, intending to make trouble Awake.

"Hmm..." Tuo Bachen grudgingly hummed a few times before slowly waking up, and when he opened his eyes, he saw Yuan Shuyi's big smiling face, "It's getting dark."

When Tuobachen heard this, he quickly turned over and got up, but why, the sun was still hanging high in the west!

"You lied." Tuo Bachen was very upset when his dream was disturbed.

"Where?" Yuan Shuyi quibbled, pointing to the busy figures of the group of people not far from Xiaohe and said, "Everyone is busy, but we are lazy, this is not good." She frowned, "Why should I Seeing how busy they are these days, it’s not an exaggeration to wear stars and wear moons.” The reason why she was surprised was because there was a family not far from Tuobachen’s house, which was a well-known lazy household in the village, and the usual day of work had not yet set I came back, but in the morning the sun was high before I went to work; but for some reason these days, I came back late at night and left early in the morning.

"Because the rainy season is coming." Tuo Bachen sighed, "The rainy season is long, and everyone is busy storing food, and digging a few more gaps in the fields to drain the water and prevent the crops from being flooded."

No wonder.Yuan Shuyi looked at the sad face of the girl in front of her, and thought of the situation at her home, and asked her, "Then how did you spend the rainy season?"

Tuobachen smiled slightly, "Before the rainy season, I came here to fish every day. I handed the fish to Big Niu who worked on the town's wharf, and asked him to sell the fish in the market, and then save up money when I got it." , and then go to buy rice when the market opens."

"Is the money for those few fish enough for you and your mother to 'eat'?" Yuan Shuyi asked knowingly, she knew that food for the dead was much more expensive than food for the living.

"I can do needlework and do laundry." Tuoba Chen blushed, she didn't want Yuan Shuyi to think she was useless.

It's just that she has always been regarded as a man outside. A big man like a girl who helps people sew, mend, wash and wash clothes all day long will be criticized no matter what.Besides, she was alone and had no relatives to help her. I don't know how she survived these years.

Yuan Shuyi looked at her with pity, no wonder there were many calluses on her hands.This girl, despite her kind heart, is still self-reliant.

Thinking that he can't go back to the capital for the time being, this little girl is so pitiful, besides, she looks like her step-uncle who has always loved her and saved her, Yuan Shuyi decided that as long as she is still here, she must help her a handful.

"Let's start preparing food for the rainy season."

She swears that she must let Tuo Bachen live a good life!
