She wrung the water out of her sleeves, thought for a moment, and decided to simply roll up her sleeves to her shoulders. This way, the wet part of the sleeve was rolled inside her dry clothes, and she felt a lot drier instantly.
Seeing her independent movements, I immediately tried to imitate her.
Shu Miao ignored him and took the machete and a gourd and was about to leave, but Zi Li stopped him urgently, "Where are you going?"
"Didn't my mom tell us to take good care of our luggage?"
Hearing this, Shu Miao paused, without even turning his head, and continued walking, "Go help your mother."
"Eh!? Well, then I'll go with you!" Zili blushed instantly and stammered, not knowing what to say.
Hearing this, Shu Miao couldn't help but turn around and give him a blank look.
"Watch your stuff. If anything goes wrong, just shout. If that doesn't work..."
She paused and pointed at the pig lying on the ground grunting.
"Then hit it!" It has a loud voice!
Zili was almost driven to tears by the obvious disdain in her eyes. He immediately became angry, crossed his arms, and turned his head away from her.
Shu Miao curled the corners of his mouth speechlessly, and said, "The sweet potatoes should still be hot," and turned away without paying any more attention to him.
As soon as he reached the foot of the mountain, Shu Miao saw that the rice seedlings in the field had been completely submerged, and only the green tips of the rice seedlings could be vaguely seen.
My heart sank as I noticed an old lady carrying a sack and struggling to move forward in the water.
I couldn't help but look back at the sack under the tree. It was obvious that this was the second round of the aunt's...
Soon, as Li Qiao slowly approached the foot of the mountain, Shu Miao estimated the water level and waded over to take the sack.
But Li Qiao dodged it. She moved to the tree with difficulty, and with a dull "bang", the sack fell to the ground.
From the sound, Shu Miao keenly recognized that it should be a bag of corn cobs.
I immediately understood why the old lady didn't let me take it, because she couldn't carry it!
Li Qiao took the gourd handed to her by Shu Miao, and without saying anything, she drank the water in big gulps.
Then he wiped the water stains from the corner of his mouth, took a deep breath and went back into the water.
Shu Miao stared blankly at the old lady's back, who was unwilling to give up even though she was extremely tired, and his hands, which were tightly gripping the gourd, turned pale.
At this moment, Li Qiao, who had walked to the last section of the ridge, suddenly felt her leg muscles tense up and pain spread quickly throughout her leg like a tide.
The moment her limbs were enveloped by intense pain, her body tilted uncontrollably and she fell headfirst into the water.
Li Qiao can swim, and the water in the field is not deep. As long as she keeps calm, she can stand in the water.
But the severe pain in her legs made her unable to exert any strength at all. In addition, she was restrained by the straw raincoat, and she soon choked on the water. Great fear and regret spread throughout her body.
Seeing the old lady fall into the water, Shu Miao's pupils suddenly shrank, and without thinking, he ran towards her quickly.
