"What is this?" Hua Shi gave it a puzzled look.
Hua Li bared his big white teeth and laughed cheerfully, "I caught some mud frogs from the fields. Xie Wanqing said his grandmother and his second brother loved them the most. I spent the whole morning catching these mud frogs. Let's eat them tonight!"
Hua Shi lowered her head and looked at the mud frogs in the small bamboo basket. They were so thin, no bigger than two of her fingers. They looked muddy and didn't look edible. There was not much meat on them, so it was hard to tell... Was it edible?
Hua Xiao, holding a pile of bamboo strips, walked around Hua Shi from behind and came over.
She also heard what Hua Li said and thought it was something. She stretched her head over as she walked, looked around curiously, and showed an undisguised expression of disgust on her face, and pouted her lips.
Hua Li stared, and the next second he heard Hua Xiao's ruthless and disgusted voice:
"It's black and stale. What is that? We won't eat it. If you want to eat it, go ahead and eat it yourself. It doesn't look like something edible..."
"Hua Xiao, what do you mean?! This is a mud frog, it's delicious, Xie Wanqing said it's delicious!"
"Then he must have lied to you." Hua Xiao shook her head. Thinking of Xie Wanqing's innocent face that seemed to love playing tricks, she didn't hold much hope.
"nonsense!"
"Hasn't he lied to you enough times? Why don't you learn your lesson?!"
…
The twin brother and sister started arguing with each other again.
After Hua Xiao took over the conversation from the very beginning, Hua Shi turned around quietly and left this place of trouble.
After the days calmed down, Hua Xiao and Hua Li liked to quarrel from time to time, and once they started quarreling, neither of them would let the other go.
Hua Shi was used to hearing this, and since it didn't hurt anyone's feelings, he didn't bother to care anymore. Whenever this happened, he would just run away.
“Dongdongdong——”
Behind me came the sound of a wooden stick hitting the ground.
Hua Yu, leaning on two special crutches made of wood, walked out of the house step by step with difficulty.
Hua Shi turned around and saw Hua Yu walking towards the yard with increasing skill, leaning on a wooden stick.
After more than three months of recuperation, the broken ankle had healed visibly.
Now, Hua Yu can walk around easily with the help of two crutches. In just over a month, he has gotten used to walking with the crutches. After removing the gauze wrapped around his injured leg, the sutured wound looks a bit hideous, but the location of the wound is more clearly visible, and it has healed well.
"Are you awake? Does the wound still hurt?"
When he came over, Hua Shi asked casually.
These past few days, when Hua Yu woke up in the morning, he always said that his wounds hurt a lot. Wu Qiaozi and the injured man he brought with him left half a month ago.
The doctor is not here right now, and my wound hurts, but there is no one to treat it.
However, Wu Qiaozi had also informed me before leaving that after the wounds began to heal, the pain caused by the newly grown bones would be like ants crawling inside the bones. It was inevitable...
Hua Yu lowered his head and said nothing.
Under Hua Shi's gaze, Hua Yu suddenly walked away with his crutches. He took two steps forward, then loosened his grip. The two wooden sticks that supported his weight slammed heavily to the ground with a clatter...
Hua Shi's pupils dilated slightly, and he subconsciously wanted to reach out and support the person, but Hua Yu raised his hand to stop him.
He stood there staggering, his injured ankle on the ground...
A piercing pain shot up from his ankle, and soon, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, proving that he was not as calm as his appearance showed.
Just when Hua Shi couldn't help but step forward again to support him, his shaking body suddenly stood straight up.
He looked up at her, his dark eyes were so deep that it was impossible to tell what emotions were hidden beneath them.
Just like that, without the support of his crutches, Hua Yu took two steps towards her with difficulty...
