Two days have passed since we returned from salt harvesting, and Xiaoxiao hasn't gone out at all.
Even when cutting grass to feed the rabbits, it was only around his own house; he never went into the village.
She was thinking of going out for a walk when dark clouds began to gather in the sky, and it looked like a heavy rain was about to come.
She was so frightened that she ran back immediately.
As soon as he arrived home, Yuan's mother came running back.
At this moment, raindrops began to fall heavily outside.
The raindrops were large and heavy, rushing down in a frenzy, as if afraid of being a step too late.
Then came a torrential downpour, accompanied by bursts of thunder.
Yun Xiaoxiao was a little afraid of thunder.
The main problem is the thunder; it strikes unexpectedly with a loud "bang" right next to your ear, which can be quite frightening.
Yun Xiaoxiao and Gou Dan'er nestled beside Yuan's mother, watching the rain outside.
Yuan's father was still weaving baskets under the thatched hut.
Yun Xiaoxiao suddenly remembered Yuan Shitou asking his mother, "Mother, where did Brother Shitou go?"
Why haven't you gone home yet, with such heavy rain?
No sooner had he finished speaking than Yuan Shitou returned, shirtless.
He wasn't wearing anything on his head, and rainwater streamed down his short hair to his neck.
Then it flows down his chest and back, as if I'm giving him a bath.
He remained unhurried, as if he were showing off his well-developed muscles.
Yun Xiaoxiao's lips twitched as she watched.
She was certain that Yuan's mother would start yelling within minutes.
So I silently counted in my mind to see how many minutes I would have to wait.
I have to say, Yun Xiaoxiao is really boring.
Sure enough, before Yun Xiaoxiao could even count to one hundred, Yuan's mother started scolding her.
"You silly bear, hurry up and go inside, change your clothes, and dry your hair. Do you want to catch a cold?"
Yuan Shitou didn't take it seriously: "Mother, don't worry, I'm so strong, I won't catch a cold."
Mother Yuan threw one of Gou Dan'er's crickets at Yuan Shitou.
"Even if you don't catch a cold, hurry back to your room."
What's with the shirtless guy acting so provocatively?
"Can't you see there are any girls in the house?"
Originally, Yuan Shitou hadn't even considered this possibility.
Hearing her mother say this, she quickly looked at Xiaoxiao.
Xiao Xiao blushed, trying to suppress her laughter, looking embarrassed.
Yuan's father also gave him a disdainful look: "He's simple-minded and all brawn and no brains. How could he think of such things?"
Take Gou Dan'er away; don't let him lead you astray.
So Yun Xiaoxiao carried Gou Dan'er into the house.
Thinking of Yuan Shitou's strong and sturdy body just now.
He even has six-pack abs.
I don't know how he did it?
I have to say, that body was truly mouthwatering.
No wonder Fan Xiaohua tried every means to marry Yuan Shitou.
She must have been eyeing Yuan Shitou's six-pack abs.
Yun Xiaoxiao looked at her thin body again.
He's as thin as a stick.
This is after all the good results from recuperating at the Yuan family's house these past few days.
Alas, with such a small frame, I'm afraid it won't be able to withstand Yuan Shitou's torment.
Then, when he realized what he was thinking, he immediately spat and cursed himself in his heart.
Yun Xiaoxiao, what are you thinking about?
You're only 14 years old. Thinking about things you shouldn't be thinking about, you have no shame.
I suppressed those bad thoughts and played with Gou Dan'er on the bed for a while.
Before long, the two of them fell into a deep sleep.
When Yuan's mother came in, the two were fast asleep.
After covering them with blankets, I tiptoed out.
It rained all night.
The next day, Yun Xiaoxiao got up early.
I happened to see Yuan Shitou preparing some strange things.
Yun Xiaoxiao recognized one of them; it was a fish trap.
Thinking about what Yuan Shitou was going to do, he immediately asked excitedly, "Brother Shitou, are you going to catch fish?"
Yuan Shitou replied with a smile, "Yes, it rained all night last night, and there was a flash flood, so there must have been a lot of water."
I'll set up fish traps by the fields, and then there will be fish inside.
Does Xiaoxiao like to eat fish? Let's bring back more.
Yun Xiaoxiao laughed just like a little child.
"I like it, I like it, I really like it."
"Brother Stone, I want to go too. Can you take me?"
Upon hearing that she was also going, Yuan Shitou hesitated.
The main problem is that it rained so heavily last night, and there's a lot of water everywhere.
I was afraid that Xiaoxiao would be swept into the river.
I want to refuse, but I'm afraid of upsetting them even a little.
Just then, Yuan's mother came out.
"Little darling, aren't we going?"
In the fields, there is water everywhere, making it easy to slip and fall.
Just stay home and wait for Brother Stone to bring you back fish.
Yuan's mother coaxed Yun Xiaoxiao like a child.
But Yun Xiaoxiao wanted to catch the fish.
That was her favorite thing to do when she was a child.
It was also one of the great joys of her childhood.
What you enjoy is the whole process and the joy of the harvest.
She didn't want to miss out.
Seeing that she really wanted to go, Yuan's mother found her a raincoat and a cloak.
He repeatedly told Yuan Shitou to keep a close eye on Xiao Xiao and make sure she wasn't swept away by the water.
After all, she was small, thin, and small. She didn't have much strength at all.
What Yuan's mother didn't know was that although Yun Xiaoxiao was small, she was very strong.
Her strength was not much less than Yuan Shitou's.
Yuan Shitou took four or five bamboo cages.
Yun Xiaoxiao also grabbed two dustpans.
The road was very muddy, and many small potholes were filled with water.
There is also water on the mountain, flowing down with a gurgling sound.
Yuan Shitou and his group went to their own fields first.
Only by placing the bamboo cage at the gap could they go to other places.
Many young boys and men in the village came out to catch the rain.
Some were wearing straw raincoats and bamboo hats.
Some people brought nothing and just stood there getting soaked in the rain.
The rain has lessened considerably now, but you still need to bring a straw hat.
After setting up the bamboo cage, Yuan Shitou took Yun Xiaoxiao to the foot of the mountain.
There is a small ditch here, with water flowing down in streams.
Moreover, you can clearly see something crawling inside.
There is a small puddle of water at the bottom of the ditch.
After placing bamboo cages there, Yuan Shitou pulled Yun Xiaoxiao, wanting to leave.
Yun Xiaoxiao objected: "Brother Shitou, I just saw something crawling up there."
"Shall we go see what that is?"
Yuan Shitou laughed and said, "Those are mountain crabs."
They're tiny and all shells, not tasty. Let's go down to the big river.
There must be a lot of people fishing there.
Yun Xiaoxiao was torn between two options: she wanted to catch mountain crabs, but she also wanted to fish in the river below.
What should we do?
She's really torn.
Yuan Shitou found her expression somewhat amusing.
"Don't worry about it, let's go fish in the river first."
We'll collect the bamboo cages later and then go pick up the mountain crabs.
There are many mountain crabs on rainy days.
"Maybe we'll find some in our bamboo cages too."
After hesitating for a while, Yun Xiaoxiao decisively went to the river with Yuan Shitou to catch fish.
When she almost fell again, Yuan Shitou decisively carried her on his back.
Yun Xiaoxiao was a little embarrassed.
She felt like she was just there to hold them back.
However, lying on Yuan Shitou's broad and thick back, I felt extremely safe.
Moreover, Yuan Shitou's steps were very steady, so he wasn't afraid of falling at all.
