Chapter 26
Chu Shao looked at Chu Jiujiu's unconcealed excitement and didn't dare to move for a long time. Chu Jiujiu couldn't wait any longer and ran behind him, trying to take off his coat. Chu Shao quickly jumped away and quickly closed his clothes. He looked at Chu Jiujiu warily with the expression of a virgin meeting a hooligan, "What do you want to do?"
Chu Jiujiu: “…”
She curled her lips and said aggrievedly, "What can I do? It's just what a filial granddaughter should do."
After she finished speaking, she sighed helplessly, and glanced at Chu Shao, silently accusing him of judging others by his own mean-spirited mind.
Chu Shao: “…”
Something is wrong. Something is very wrong.
After spending so many days with Chu Jiujiu, he has almost figured out Jiujiu's temper. Sometimes she is silly, and sometimes she is smart. When she is silly, she can be so stupid that she pops bubbles, and when she is smart, she can trick people into losing their underwear.
Chu Shao didn't dare to be careless. After all, he only had one pair of underwear. If he was cheated, he would really have no choice but to leave it empty.
…
Chu Shao refused to let Chu Jiujiu touch him, so Chu Jiujiu had to restrain herself temporarily. She helped pick up the dishes during meals and cleared the bowls and chopsticks after dinner. She even poured water for him and handed it to him. The constant bombardment of sugar-coated bullets soon coaxed Chu Shao into losing his composure. He took off his shirt and let Chu Jiujiu play with his back.
In fact, Chu Jiujiu didn't do anything. She just used a clean cloth dipped in the water in the bamboo tube to wipe the sunburned area. She wanted to see if this water could cure any injury.
Chu Shao didn't know that he had become Chu Jiujiu's second experimental field. He just felt a cool coolness on his back, which was really comfortable.
After a night, Chu Shao woke up first. He slept on the half of the bed near the door, which was convenient for entering and exiting. If someone broke in, he would be the first to know.
Normally, Chu Jiujiu would sit up half an hour after he woke up, rubbing her eyes. But today, she was worried about something, and she opened her eyes almost as soon as he sat up. Chu Shao himself didn't feel anything, but Chu Jiujiu could clearly see that the sunburn on his back had completely healed.
Chu Jiujiu was shocked that she could stuff an egg into her mouth. Wow, this was too effective.
This was a good thing, but not entirely. After all, it wasn't like catching fish or chickens, something anyone could do. If she were discovered, she might be mistaken for a witch or some other sorcerer. These were still the days of cracking down on superstition, and she didn't want to get into trouble.
Because of this incident, Chu Jiujiu was worried all day. When she got up early and went out, there was no change in the vegetable garden. Chu Jiujiu carefully turned the vegetable garden over, but she really didn't find anything.
After working in the vegetable garden for a long time, pulling out a few cucumber vines and tearing a few leaves as new experimental subjects, Chu Jiujiu went out with a sickle.
Han Shengyi had said yesterday that he would help her cut grass until her hands recovered. Chu Jiujiu agreed, but she had no intention of staying at home and being lazy. She could do something else.
Seeing that Chu Jiujiu was very persistent, Han Shengyi did not refuse. He asked Chu Jiujiu to follow him to collect the cut grass for cattle and then stack it all in one place.
This job cannot be described as easy, because it is not even work.
Chu Jiujiu knew that Han Shengyi was taking care of her, but because she knew it, she felt even more uncomfortable.
She bent over and stacked the cow grass neatly together. In her peripheral vision, she could see that Han Shengyi glanced at her every once in a while, and his eyes fell on Chu Jiujiu's left hand. Chu Jiujiu felt under great pressure from his stare and did not dare to relax at all. She conscientiously played the role of the one-armed girl, whose strong will despite her disability made anyone who heard about it sad and anyone who saw it cried.
…
While they worked, neither spoke. Han Shengyi was normal, as he wasn't much of a talker anyway. Chu Jiujiu, however, seemed unusual, as she was a chatterbox who couldn't stay quiet. A quiet atmosphere boosted efficiency, and soon the hay was harvested. Han Shengyi had moved the hay twice by himself. Chu Jiujiu wanted to help, but he wouldn't let her, even asking her to go home.
Chu Jiujiu didn't say anything, but seeing her motionless appearance, you knew what her answer was.
Han Shengyi couldn't do anything with her, so he simply picked up the cow grass and left. Chu Jiujiu quickly grabbed a handful and followed him.
She did not forget her role as a one-armed girl, and only grabbed a thin bundle in her right hand. When she arrived at the cowshed, Han Shengyi put down the cow grass, and the air shook. She loosened her claws, and a few cow grasses slowly fell to the ground without even a sound.
Han Shengyi: “…”
Chu Jiujiu: “…”
Chu Jiujiu's face turned red, but fortunately Han Shengyi didn't laugh at her. He went back to move the things again. This time he moved all the cow grass away. Chu Jiujiu followed him as usual, even if her hands were empty, she would still follow.
Others may not understand, but Han Shengyi understands that she is afraid that he will encounter the same thing as yesterday.
She wanted to protect him.
Han Shengyi lowered his eyelids and the corners of his lips moved as if he wanted to curl them up, but for some reason, he remained as he was in the end.
The work was done, and this time, without Han Shengyi telling her, she wanted to leave. But before leaving, she said to Han Shengyi, "Bring my fish basket here tomorrow. I need it."
Han Shengyi looked at her and said, "It's dangerous to fish by the river."
Chu Shao had said this as well, but Chu Jiujiu didn't take it seriously, "I won't fall."
"Is anyone going with you?"
Of course not.
During the time she spent in Qingzhu Village, the only friend of her age was Han Shengyi, and Han Shengyi even disliked her.
Thinking of this, Chu Jiujiu suddenly became unhappy, "Does it have anything to do with you?"
Regardless of Han Shengyi's reaction, Chu Jiujiu turned around and left. The midday sun was extremely scorching. Chu Jiujiu didn't dare to run, nor could she run. She could only quicken her pace, hoping to get home quickly.
Halfway through the walk, Chu Jiujiu saw someone ahead of her, walking even faster than she was. She couldn't help but put her hand on her brow, acting as a sunshade. She wanted to see who this person was and why they were walking so fast. However, the person was walking so fast that they disappeared in the blink of an eye. Chu Jiujiu frowned, thinking that person looked a bit like Zhao Shiliu.
Strange, that is the direction to leave the village. Why is Zhao Shiliu going out of the village at this time?
During the busy farming season, no one goes anywhere unless something big happens. If it were someone else, Chu Jiujiu might still care about it, but when it comes to Zhao Shiliu, no matter what happens, she won't join in the fun.
Back home, Chu Jiujiu felt thirsty for eight hundred years. She drank a bucket of water and finally felt a little cooler. The weather was so hot that there was no need to boil water. She moved two buckets of well water to the utility room, one for washing herself and one for washing clothes. She washed the clothes first and then hung them on the door to dry. By the time she finished washing herself, the clothes had been dried by the heat in the air.
You can see how high the temperature is now.
After feeling sorry for her grandfather and others working hard in the rice fields for two seconds, Chu Jiujiu returned to her experiment and tinkered with it for the entire afternoon until Chu Shao came back in the evening.
When Chu Jiujiu was cooking dinner, she added a bamboo tube of water into the pot. Chu Shao was completely unaware of it and ate very calmly. Chu Jiujiu, on the other hand, ate very seriously, showing a spirit of dedication to science.
…
Unfortunately, there was still no reaction. The next day, Chu Jiujiu felt that she had roughly figured it out. The water used to soak the necklace could only heal the injured body. If there was no injury, then it would be useless. Moreover, the soaking time of the necklace was directly proportional to the therapeutic effect. If you don't want to be too conspicuous, then soak it for a shorter time, so that the wound will heal more slowly.
Chu Jiujiu, wearing a small yellow flowered dress, squatted in front of the vegetable patch and came to this conclusion rigorously.
After almost finishing the vegetable garden, Chu Jiujiu decided to find some more things to eat, no, to experiment with, such as the fish that can be found everywhere in the river.
After getting the fish basket from Han Shengyi and cutting all the grass for the cows, Chu Jiujiu left with the fish basket. Han Shengyi wanted to ask her to be careful, but after thinking about it, he felt that he had no right to say that.
After eating two steamed buns filled with wild vegetables, Han Shengyi returned to the vegetable field. The vegetables had already been harvested, so he turned the soil over. The seeds had not been distributed yet, so there was nothing to do. He didn't want to go up the mountain today, so he simply took his hoe and sickle and returned to the team headquarters.
When he was halfway there, he found that the village had returned to its former bustle. Calculating the time, the rice was almost ready for harvest. Every time the rice was harvested, the team leader would give the villagers a short holiday and let them leave work early. The next day, they would clean the fields and start planting the next batch of crops.
Everyone had finished work, and Chu Shao was no exception. Coincidentally, when he passed by the team headquarters, Han Shengyi also came towards him.
Two people who had no connection with each other before and still have no connection with each other actually had a complicated feeling when they saw each other, not knowing whether they should say hello to each other.
Before Chu Shao made a decision, Han Shengyi on the opposite side stopped. He raised the corner of his mouth very lightly, gave Chu Shao a friendly smile, then turned around naturally and walked towards where he lived.
Chu Shao: “…”
hateful.
It feels like a loss.
Han Shengyi is not idle at home either. He can pickle vegetables, wash clothes, and clean the house. No one would have thought that he, who is so efficient at work, was a young master born with a silver spoon in his mouth.
When he hung the clothes on the rope at the door, Song Chaoxin, who also lived in the cowshed, saw it and praised him, "Shengyi is so filial. He helps your grandparents with their work every day."
Han Shengyi heard this, turned around, and smiled at Song Chaoxin, "Give me your clothes too. I'm young, and the captain won't assign me heavy work, so it's only natural for me to help everyone with some small things."
Song Chaoxin was just waiting for this sentence. He didn't know how to do housework at all. Naturally, he never thought that at his age, he would still have to do housework. Some of the things he did, he did not have the choice but to ask for help for others.
Those who live in the cowshed are all poor people, so of course they will support each other. The old Han couple has a grandson. Song Chaoxin initially thought that their lives would be even more difficult, but now he knows how important the grandson is.
Unfortunately, he didn't have a grandson before he was sent down to the countryside, so now he can only borrow other people's grandsons.
Song Chaoxin happily carried out his clothes from the house, actually there were only two or three pieces. Han Shengyi took them readily and just put them in the basin when Chu Shao came over.
A few meters away, he had already asked, "Han Shengyi, do you know where Jiujiu went?"
Chu Shao returned home and didn't see anyone. He went out to look for him but couldn't find him. Then he came to ask Han Shengyi, after all, they went together to collect grass for the cows every day.
Han Shengyi frowned when he heard this. "She said she was going to go fishing. Why didn't you find anything by the river?"
Chu Shao had just returned from the riverside and didn't see anyone. He opened his mouth and was about to speak when a man came running over from a distance. He was running out of breath and pointed in the direction of Qingshi River and shouted to the people at the team entrance.
The bullpen was a little far away, but I could vaguely hear what he was shouting.
"Wine, wine, wine... fell into the river..."
Song Chaoxin was startled and immediately looked at the two young men beside him. However, he didn't expect that the two were so fast that Song Chaoxin only saw two afterimages. He didn't know who it was who knocked over the wooden basin on the ground, and the turbid water flowed all over the floor. Song Chaoxin's clothes had not been washed yet, but they had become even dirtier.
His legs and feet were not as good as those of the young people, but he did not care about the clothes. He took two quick steps and came to the team entrance, just in time to hear the captain's hurried voice.
"What?! Jiujiu fell into the river?!"
The man who reported the news was puzzled: "Who are you talking about?"
The captain was stunned: "Didn't you say that Jiujiu fell into the river?"
The man looked at everyone innocently, "I, I, I, what I said is, help, help, someone fell into the river."
Captain: "...You didn't say so much just now!"
Especially the word "life", you didn't make any sound at all!
The man said even more innocently: "Talk less, save time, time, ah!"
Captain: “…”
Sooner or later, he will be pissed off to death by this person.
Doctor Huang had already run to rescue people. The team leader slowed down and then ran away in a hurry. No matter who fell into the river, it was a life.
Song Chaoxin originally wanted to go with them, but there were already enough villagers who went out, so one more or one less would not make much difference. As for Han Shengyi and Chu Shao, they would probably come back once they saw that the person who fell into the water was not Chu Jiujiu.
Song Chaoxin stood with his hands behind his back, walking at a leisurely pace. He was calm, but he didn't know that someone over there was almost going crazy with anxiety.
A large group of people gathered by the river. The person who fell into the water was rescued. Everyone gathered around to watch, sighing from time to time, "Alas, he's already dead, there's no way he can be saved..."
Han Shengyi and Chu Shao ran here one after another. When Chu Shao heard these words, his head buzzed and his feet were nailed to the ground. His face turned pale and he could no longer make the next move.
He heard it, and Han Shengyi naturally heard it too, but he didn't stop. Not only did he not stop, he pushed the onlookers away with force. He pushed so hard that some people felt pain. They were about to curse, but when they saw his expression, they immediately shut their mouths and dared not make any more sounds.
This must be a family member, his face looks so ugly, he must be a family member!
So, the man took the initiative to step aside and whispered to his companion: "It's probably this man's son who has arrived."
Han Shengyi only had Chu Jiujiu in his eyes. These villagers were just background materials in his eyes at this moment. He could not see or hear anything. He pushed aside the crowd and finally squeezed in. He stared at the person lying on the ground. After about a second's delay, Han Shengyi could see clearly that the person lying on the ground was a middle-aged man with a bald head.
At this moment, Han Shengyi was stuck.
Anxiety, panic, and despair were still on his face. No one around him doubted his identity as a family member. One woman, seeing that he was so dumb that he couldn't even speak, patted him on the back sadly and said, "Take your father to the hospital quickly."
Han Shengyi: “…”
Doctor Huang finally arrived, and those who knew Doctor Huang spontaneously made way, leaving a gap in the crowd. Doctor Huang ran in silently, took over the middle-aged man, and began to give first aid. It was also during this opportunity that Han Shengyi walked out of the crowd with a complicated expression. After experiencing great ups and downs in emotions, people always tend to look for people who have common language with them, so Han Shengyi looked at Chu Shao.
Chu Shao also saw what was going on inside when Doctor Huang came. The two looked at each other. Although no sound was made, they both knew that the other person had the same idea as themselves.
I really want to beat someone up.
…
As luck would have it, at this time, Chu Jiujiu came strolling over with her small fish basket. When she saw the circle of villagers here, her eyes lit up, and she thought someone had caught a very rare big fish.
Chu Jiujiu ran over and when she was almost there, she suddenly braked.
She had already seen Chu Shao and Han Shengyi standing outside the encirclement, and the two men were also looking at her quietly.
Chu Jiujiu: “…”
What's with this damn guilty feeling?
Chu Shao took a step forward, and at this moment, a choking cough was heard from the encirclement, followed by cheers and praises from the villagers.
"It's alive! Doctor Huang is amazing!"
"That's right, Doctor Huang is the treasure of our village! Even the King of Hell would be terrified of him!"
"This person looks unfamiliar. He doesn't seem to be from Qingzhu Village."
"No matter which village he is from, rush him to the hospital. Look at his pale face, he must be scared to death."
"By the way, didn't his son come over just now? Where is his son?"
Han Shengyi: “…”
Hearing this, Han Shengyi walked up quickly and pulled Chu Jiujiu away without caring whether she was willing or not. Chu Jiujiu was still confused, but out of her animal instinct, she didn't dare to disobey Han Shengyi. She could only look at Chu Shao behind her for help.
Chu Shao followed them slowly from behind. When he noticed Chu Jiujiu looking at him, he raised one corner of his mouth and revealed a sinister smile that was filled with murderous intent.
Chu Jiujiu: “…”
Oh my God, grandpa is perverted!
