Another World Baixin

On July [-]th, after the afternoon exercise, Bai Xin climbed a "guava" tree. The fruit on the tree was similar in size to the red meat guava he had eaten in the countryside when he was a child, but the shape was different. It's gourd-shaped, and here it's ping-pong.

Putting on the tattered trousers before drying them completely, wiping the freshly picked fruit on the trouser legs a few times and then chewing on them, Zhuang Wei is well adapted to this kind of life, which is how he lived when he was a child.

The result of a little distraction is that I didn't notice two teenagers coming out of the bushes in front of me, eleven or twelve years old, carrying bamboo baskets, the same bun, flat bangs, the same color of brown, and oval-faced teenagers with inconspicuous patches on their underwear. In front of him was a boy with a long face and a silk flower on his head.The former was looking for something in the bushes carefully, while the latter looked around in a panic, talking softly to the former from time to time: "Brother Ping, did you find it?" "Brother Ping, it's getting dark!" "If you can't find it, forget it." .”

The boy called "Brother Ping" didn't look back, and responded casually with "En En".

Bai Xin on the tree used the branches and leaves to hide his figure, but the long-faced boy looked up at the tree, thinking he had been spotted, but he didn't.Bai Xin felt something was wrong, and when he turned around, he saw a familiar little golden snake standing on the tree trunk next door, shining brightly under the sun, opening its mouth to attack him.

Bai Xin dodged reflexively——

"Ah! -- Uh" the scream of the long-faced boy covered the thump of his landing. "Brother Ping" quickly covered his little friend's mouth with his eyes.When he saw a tattered boy falling from the tree, he cautiously pulled his little friend over——

"Hey!"

Bai Xin stood up without waiting for them to get close, and the little golden snake had already slipped away before it could take a single blow.

"Xiao Lang, are you okay?" "Brother Ping" looked up and down Bai Xin with a strange expression, and muttered in his mouth: Such a child with a big grain of rice can get up immediately after falling from a tree.

But Bai Xin heard it, and stared at him with a dark complexion: I am a grain of rice, are you a grain of wheat!

It's a pity that "Brother Ping" couldn't hear his inner voice and couldn't understand the deep meaning in his eyes, but called out in surprise: "Bai Xin?"

Even the long-faced Rong came over and said strangely: "Oh, it's really Bai Xin! You didn't die?! Everyone thought you had to die in the earthquake if you weren't eaten by a wild beast—! "

"Alin!" "Brother Ping" lowered his face and shouted.

The long face called "A Lin" curled his lips, but he was obedient.

"Brother Ping" said to Bai Xin with an apologetic face: "Don't mind, Xin, Ah Lin is straightforward. He actually cares about you, but he is not very good at talking. Where have you been these few days? How did you become like this?"

It was only then that Bai Xin realized that both of them had a pair of green eyes. He was slightly surprised, quickly thought about the situation before him, and decided to stand still, neither pretending to be amnesia nor stupid, nodded and said: "I'm lost, I'm hiding in a hole, Go out and find something to eat."

"Brother Ping" really didn't think there was a problem, and carefully examined his body, but he couldn't do anything about the tightly wrapped brown vines on his body, "Hurry up and follow me back, and ask a doctor to look at your injury, you must have suffered a lot."

"A Lin" whispered disdainfully: "I can blame myself for being playful and getting lost, but I ended up spending unreasonable money on medical treatment."

Zhuang Wei didn't take it seriously, but was startled when he saw "Brother Ping"'s action: but he was a little disappointed after seeing him measure Zhuang Wei's size and the depth of the basket with his hands.

'Does he want to put me in a basket? ! '—Zhuang Wei deeply felt that the heart of a man was hurt.

"Brother Ping" really had this idea. Seeing his bruised and tattered appearance, he wanted to carry him down the mountain, but the basket was too small to hold him.In the end, Bai Xin was pulled away by "Brother Ping", during which time "A Lin" expressed his objection on the grounds that "Bai Xin is a man, and Brother Ping is a good son, there is a difference between a good man and a good man". "Brother Ping" doesn't care about "A Lin"'s unreasonable troubles, because in his eyes, Bai Xin is as immature as his six-year-old brother, and he never thought that Bai Xin is already nine years old.

Bai Xin listened to them all the way and memorized the direction, listening to a half-knowledge.For example, this mountain is called Shoushan Mountain, which does not belong to their village. The villagers in this village usually walk around the hills next to Shoushan Mountain. Only hunters will go here, and even hunters will not easily enter the deeper part; they came up today to find Ganoderma lucidum. A few days ago, "A Hua" dug up a plant that didn't grow long, and sold it in the town for [-] yuan. "Brother Ping"'s family has little land and labor, and his mother is weak and takes medicine all the year round, so the family is very poor, so he came to try his luck.The East and West Villages are divided into East Village and West Village.Also, these two teenagers are good sons, but he didn't know what a good son was.

Occasionally at the foot of the mountain, villagers can be seen picking mountain goods and returning, and most of them are pushing carts and carrying loads to transport red soil from the top of the mountain.These people were in a hurry, and when they saw the three of them, they just greeted them, but they cast a more or less distasteful look at Bai Xin, who was dressed in a mess. "A Lin" smiled gloatingly and said that fortunately his house is fine, otherwise he would have to compete with others to dig red soil, which is not easy.

The houses in the village are basically built of stones. The big stones are beaten into large or small stones. The walls are made of highly viscous laterite mixed with sand. , The roof is made of wood tiles, except for tiles, other materials can be collected, which is strong and economical.In this earthquake, the collapsed houses were either seriously aged or hit by wild animals. The rest of the houses that did not collapse would not be damaged as long as they did not encounter wild animals.

There are few households at the end of the village, and there are many vegetable fields in front of and behind the doors of every house; the walls of one of the houses are made of neat cuboid stones instead of crushed stones of different sizes, and even the surrounding vegetable fields are surrounded by stones. The wall and the inner courtyard form an inner and outer courtyard, which is extremely magnificent.Now the outer wall is broken, the muddy vegetable field has not been tidied up, and the small shed for raising poultry and livestock can be seen through the wall of the inner courtyard that is being repaired.

A woman in her forties stood in the vegetable field, her head was covered with red, yellow and purple silk flowers, and she smiled amiably, and said, "Ah Xin is back, I saw that you hurt yourself all over and your clothes were ruined, I listened to you that day." Ah Mo said that you insisted on going up the mountain, but you didn’t know where to go to play, and you didn’t see you when the earthquake happened, your grandpa and grandma must have been worried, so don’t be so playful in the future.”

Bai Xin frowned slightly after hearing this, the original owner remembered being called by Ah Mo to help on the mountain.

"A Lin" next to him said first: "You don't know Zhang Ajun. When Brother Ping and I found him, he climbed up a tree and fell down. He didn't fear the pain. He looked stupid when he fell."

"That's it," this Zhang Ajun is called Zhang Yushu, so local people are called Xijun, Shaojun or Xiaojun after they get married, and Zhang Yushu can call her "Ajun" as an elder when she is older.The Zhang family has a 14-year-old youngest son, Bai Ruyu, who looks quite heroic and is very popular with Liangzi, a girl in the village.Bai Xin's reputation in the village is very bad, Zhang's cousin is no better than "A Lin", and he is not afraid of making Bai Xin angry and secretly doing bad things, so he doesn't answer "A Lin", but turns to boast to "Brother Ping": "Shuangping went up to pick goods again today, and the house is neatly tidy. I'm so young, so fast. I really envy you, Eun."

"A Lin" is called Mei Fanglin, 11 years old, Bai Xin's cousin; "Ping Ge" Qin Shuangping, [-] years old, is the same cousin as Bai Xin, and his family lives in the West Village, while his grandfather Bai's family lives in the East Village.He had long understood the custom of the villagers from east and west to praise each other when they met, so he smiled and said a few words of courtesy before leading the two of them away.

Bai Xin was not talkative by nature, so he followed them quietly.And Alin was a little unhappy because he couldn't have a pleasant conversation with Zhang, so he didn't say a word.Qin Shuangping greeted people all the way and talked back. His popularity was not bad, and the villagers he met were basically lecherous.Bai Xin heard two adult men and women whispering secretly with their backs to them, one asked: "Why are you stopping me? Who is that?" The other replied: "Who else could it be? The plague-stricken child, why didn’t he die quietly outside.” The former jumped: “I didn’t notice that he was in such a mess at first, but I wanted to ask whose child this was, he was so wounded and his clothes were torn that he could only wrap himself around vines. Tiao Zhe Ti. Thanks to you holding me, I don't want to provoke him."

This is really unexpected, Bai Xin thought, although he doesn't like to associate with people, he doesn't want to bear the reputation of being a disaster, otherwise it will be difficult to do anything in the future.
