Chapter 46: Injury
The sun gradually rose higher, and everyone was tired and hot, so they prepared to end the activity.
Li Yuke was so happy because the longest one he had dug out so far was six sections! Hahaha, now he can get close to Xiaoci. Here comes the benefit for those who love fluff!
At this moment, Liu Wangxue's hand touched one, and suddenly his eyes lit up: "Wait a minute!"
Hearing this tone, Wenxi asked, "Lotus King?"
"Wait a minute..." Liu Wangxue felt it slowly, and it was indeed a bit long. She didn't dare to be impatient, for fear of breaking it.
Finally, under everyone's expectant gaze, she washed off the mud and took it out of the water. It was really the longest in the whole show, with a total of 7 sections! Liu Wangxue felt that this sense of accomplishment was even more exciting than selling the copyright. She raised it happily, and her dimples on her cheeks became deeper with laughter.
The others were extremely envious, not because of Xiaoci, but because anything that had anything to do with competition would easily arouse the desire to win. For the one who won the championship, others would always be a little envious.
Everyone walked towards the shore together. Li Yu was almost jealous: "Oh, Sister Xuxu! Xiaoci is your cat! You also dug out the 'Lotus King'. What's the point of this competition?"
"Yes," Lan Xiaoxi agreed, "Sister Xuxu should be excluded from this competition to be fair."
Xu Qingsong laughed at them: "Why didn't you do that earlier? With such a slow reaction, I advise you to just accept this loss."
Yue Cheng was unwilling: "Just wait, our team will definitely be first in the weigh-in!"
Tao Huayu expressed his dissatisfaction: "Who are you looking down on? Be careful, Brother Qingsong, or Boss Du will take back your internal testing benefits in a rage."
Lan Xiaoxi and Yue Chengfu echoed each other: "Then what you said is not a disguised admission that we are first? Okay, I declare, no need to weigh, the championship belongs to our team!"
Wenxi retorted: "Why do you think it belongs to you? Have you asked our team for their opinion? We must weigh it! I will show you what real strength is!"
Liu Wangxue watched them talking one after another and laughed heartily. She felt that this was what life was all about. Coming here to buy a house and settle down was really the best decision she had ever made.
Du Yunkai had similar thoughts. He felt that he understood why Xu Qingsong could be so dismissive of the Xu family's assets, and also understood why he was so stubborn in wanting to come back.
How do you describe the feeling now?
He had experienced the joy and relaxation of being with a few good friends, and he had also had friends with whom he could talk without restraint, but he had never experienced the wildness of the fields that only existed in movies, TV shows or literary works, and the feeling of truly reaping the rewards through labor with his own hands.
At this moment, it seemed as if all the noise had faded away. The people in front of him, the smiles in front of him, and everything in front of him brought him an unprecedented sense of tranquility.
My brother-in-law and Yue Cheng reached the shore first, and my sister went over to help put the lotus roots in.
Liu Wangxue and the others were a few steps behind. When they were about to arrive, Pengpeng suddenly stood up, lowered his head to stare at the water, and stretched out his claws to stir the water.
Liu Wangxue shouted: "Bang Bang, be careful, don't let the two of you fall down together."
What is a crow's mouth? What is a prophecy? Liu Wangxue regretted it so much that she shouldn't have said it! Before he finished speaking, Peng Peng screamed and raised his claws, and a crayfish clamped on it tightly.
It hurt so much! It tried desperately to get rid of this thing, but it lost its balance due to the big movement, and rolled directly into the lotus field with Xiaoci, who was sleeping lazily on its back.
"Wangangangang——"
“Meow!”
Everyone was shocked by this sudden change.
Liu Wangxue was so scared that he threw away the "Lotus King" and immediately waded across the water as fast as he could.
Xu Qingsong no longer cared about the lotus roots on the float, and strode over. One person fished out the cat, and the other rescued the dog.
This series of events happened and ended in an instant. Everyone came to their senses and gathered around to see what was going on.
The frightened Xiaoci was held in Liu Wangxue's arms, and the whole cat was in a bad state. How could it bear it? It was wet and dirty all over, and it cried to Liu Wangxue aggrievedly.
After Xu Qingsong carried Pengpeng ashore, he pried open the shrimp's claws and freed its claws. He then threw the crayfish into the small bamboo basket at his waist and closed the lid.
"It's bleeding a little." Xu Qingsong looked at Pengpeng's claw carefully.
Pengpeng felt hurt and wronged, curled up his injured paw, and moved to Liu Wangxue's side on three legs to seek comfort. But Liu Wangxue's waterproof clothing legs were also covered with mud, and the more Pengpeng rubbed against them, the dirtier they became.
I just did the beauty treatment the day before yesterday! What else could Liu Wangxue do? Of course, she had to comfort the two bear babies first.
My sister has already called Tao's mother, told her about the situation, and asked her to prepare a large basin and warm water.
Tao Huayu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said, "Let's go to my house and wash them first."
So Liu Wangxue held the cat, Xu Qingsong helped her hold the dog, and the two of them went back with Tao Huayu. The others put the lotus roots in baskets and loaded them onto the car, then walked back slowly.
After entering the village and turning a corner, I saw a few children playing hopscotch in an open space. They were the same children I met on the roadside that morning.
Jinghe was also there, holding Youyou and dancing together. Youyou was smiling very happily. Turning around, he saw Liu Wangxue: "Sister!"
His shout caused several pairs of eyes to look at Liu Wangxue and the others. The children stopped playing hopscotch and ran over, chirping and greeting Liu Wangxue.
Youyou kicked his legs in Jinghe's arms. When Jinghe put him down, he ran over.
These children are all from Tao Huayu’s neighbors. He knows them all and always brings them snacks every time he comes back.
"Oh my, you only saw the pretty sister, but not me, right?" Tao Huayu asked with a smile, "Who ate the snacks I bought?"
The children smiled and said, "Hello, Uncle Huayu!"
"Hey," Tao Huayu laughed, "I feel like I've been elevated to a higher level."
Xu Qingsong kicked him.
Youyou ran over and asked Liu Wangxue with her little face raised: "Sister, I just went to your house with my brother, and you were not there. Why are you here~"
"Yes~" Liu Wangxue's voice couldn't help but become more ambiguous again, "Sister and uncle went to dig lotus roots together." As she said that, she glanced at Xu Qingsong and Tao Huayu.
Xu Qingsong held the dog and kicked Tao Huayu again.
The children looked left and right but didn't see any lotus roots. The little girl with pigtails asked, "Sister, there are no lotus roots."
Youyou asked: "Sister, what are you holding~"
Liu Wangxue said: "It's the cat, but it fell into the lotus field. Now I want to take it back to take a bath. Okay, you guys play, the cat and the dog are going back to take a bath~"
But they didn't leave. The children gathered around them, chattering and asking, "Sister, can I go?"
"I want to give the cat a bath, too."
"I want to see the dog take a bath."
“I want to go too!”
Liu Wangxue looked at Tao Huayu, who waved his arm and said, "Children, listen to my instructions!"
"arrive!"
"Line up! Let's go!" After Tao Huayu said this, the children immediately lined up and followed him forward.
Youyou took Jinghe's hand and said, "Brother, let's go! Let's go too!"
Porcelain combination
Pengpeng: Hey, what is this? (stretches out claws)
Crayfish: When attacked, it starts to defend itself (grips hard)
Peng Peng: Ah! It hurts! Let go, let go! (Strikes back desperately) (Falls into the lotus field)
Xiaoci: Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! You bastard! Murder in broad daylight?! (floundering in the mud)
