Pinellia pastoral

Chapter 112
Just had a spring rain.

The clouds and mist rising by the river have not yet cleared, and it is misty and rainy.

A fresh breath blows towards the face, as if the world has been washed, the pebbles on the river bed look a bit black, and there are only graceful figures of willow trees on both sides of the river bank, but the green ones are not clear. The color also seems to be covered with a layer of fog.

There wasn't much to do after dinner, so Wumei Mint followed suit.

Naturally, Banxia Yuanchen and Gu Ya'er, a group of five, carried a load of baskets, and other large and small bamboo baskets.

After arriving at the place, Gu Ya'er ran around, "Sister, there is a white piece here, it looks good." "Sister, I picked up another beautiful piece, I want to keep it on the window." "Yuan Chen , don’t go there, beware of falling into the water.”

Almost all echoed was her voice.

Ban Xia was a little funny, so she simply defined an area for her and Yuan Chen, next to the bank, and she and Mint Wumei squatted beside the river in a straight line. The wash was round and smooth, but they all picked relatively larger ones and put them in the basket evenly and cleanly.

Who knew that Gu Ya'er couldn't stay still, it was on the outer edge, and almost ran to the road, "Sister, look, there are wild vegetables here!"

But it's wild vegetables, wormwood.It is very gratifying to be green and dripping.

Ban Xia couldn't help but think of an idea, "Gu Ya'er, come down quickly, if you can pick up two baskets of stones, I'll make you Ai Ye Baba tomorrow."

This trick has a miraculous effect on Gu Ya'er, and she really doesn't care about the wormwood, so she leans closer to Banxia, ​​"Sister, really? Look, I'm picking up rocks so fast, Aiye Baba, I want to eat sesame stuffing Yes, put more sugar..."

This is according to who's temper!

A group of people happily pulled stones into the basket, and when they saw that they were almost done, they poured them into the basket again.

The last basket was full, and Wu Mei finally couldn't help but stop it, and put part of it into another basket, "Don't fill it up, how can you pick it back like this, stones are no better than rice."

There were not many people outside in such weather, and they were not adjacent to the village road. Occasionally, passers-by who passed by also returned home from work, and asked a few casual questions, and Ban Xia naturally answered them one by one.

Some were surprised, and of course there were doubts, "Is this broken stone used to pave the road?"

"It's just a waste of time. I haven't heard of such nonsense."

Very disapproving.

What others say, Pinellia doesn't care at all, just laugh it off, anyway, it's convenient for me, and I don't need money, even if I pick up stones, I don't have to explain to anyone.

"Sister, look!" Yuan Chen, who had been silent all this time, suddenly pointed to the river.

After being called out by him, Ban Xia looked at the river, but found nothing, put his hand on his forehead and looked over, and saw a shadow floating on the river, probably a wooden board or something under his body.

As soon as I saw clearly from this room, I heard a splash, Mint had already jumped into the water and swam to that place.

Ban Xia was taken aback, it looked like someone was drowning, but he didn't know where it floated down from, and he wasn't sure if the person on it was dead or alive. It might be another big trouble...

But Mint had already jumped down, she didn't dare to think about it, and quickly went through it in her mind, it was already afternoon, there were no pedestrians on the ridge, the village road was not too close, and if it wasn't for her intentions, she probably wouldn't be able to see anything.

Ban Xia hurriedly said, "Sister, look at the two of them and don't say anything! I'll help Mint!"

After finishing speaking, with a flick of the shoe, Ban Xia also went into the water.

The water in spring was still a bit chilly, and the shock woke her up a lot. Apart from the momentary panic and discomfort, she soon saw Mint scratching her arms in the river water.

Gu Ya'er on the shore looked adoring, "Wow, my sister can swim."

Wu Mei looked at the helplessness on the faces of the two of them, took Yuan Chen and Gu Ya'er aside, and didn't have the heart to pick up the stones.She is a simple-minded person, originally she wanted to call someone, but Ban Xia has always had an idea, watching her go into the water, she will soon be close to Mint, I am afraid that she has a plan in mind, Ban Xia told her not to think about it Yes, then she doesn't want to.

Although I don't have much ability, at least don't make trouble for them.

What's more, Wu Mei, who is older, feels vaguely that if two girls save someone in the river, it's okay if it's a girl, but if it's a man, there will inevitably be contact underwater, and their reputation may be bad in the future. It will be affected, so she will not be able to speak even more.

Pinellia is approaching Bohe here, and his body is a little weak, and his physical strength is not ordinary, "Minghe, go a little further downstream, we may not be able to pull it even if we go there, you go downstream, I will push along the current , when the time comes, we will drag them to the bamboo forest together."

After saying these two sentences, Ban Xia's arms were even more sore, and he had already swam to the side first.

Mint was very surprised, "You can swim sometime... Good!"

The sound is very exciting.

So the two separated again, Mint swam to the place where there were a few clumps of bamboo, Ban Xia continued to swim towards the figure.

Now she can already see the figure on the board, holding the board tightly with both hands, but there are wounds on her body, not small wounds.

Ban Xia smiled wryly, although she didn't want to cause trouble, but since they met, she couldn't just let her die.

It's so easy to swim here, I don't have much strength in my body, how can I push this person to Mint?Ban Xia took a deep breath, checked the distance with his eyes, and slowly sank into the water, kicking his legs underwater very quickly.

And Mint happened to be swimming in the bamboo grove at this time, who had cut the bamboo and left it here to dry, she threw the bamboo into the river, and when she turned her head and found that Pinellia was gone, her heart jumped into her throat.

When will Pinellia go swimming?What kind of strength does she have so far, right?She doesn't like to be brave, if she really can't do it, she should have told herself just now.

But Bo He was still worried after all, splashed the groundwater, and swam towards Ban Xia, suddenly saw a head popping out of the water, and gestured towards her.

Only then did Mint feel relieved, "This way!"

Ban Xia poked her head out and let out a long sigh of relief. She saw several wounds on this man's body, and she didn't know why, anyway, the wound was white with blisters, and it looked hideous, but no matter what, Ban Xia He dared to touch it, at least it was still warm, which proved that he was still alive, and the tossing was not in vain.

And he was holding the wooden board, he didn't know where it floated down from, he definitely couldn't be from the village, his hair was loose and he couldn't see his face. How long has passed.

After getting closer, Ban Xia discovered that the wooden board was a little rotten, as if it had been eaten by moths, and some places were slowly falling apart.If Yuan Chen hadn't seen her while floating here, she would have sunk within a short distance.

It can be considered fate.

Ban Xia gritted her teeth, put her hands on the board, and pulled down while paddling along the current.

This is slowly approaching mint.

After soaking in the water, she felt that her hands didn't belong to her anymore, and she had no strength in her body, but she knew that she couldn't let go at this time. If she let go, whether it was her or Mint, it would be difficult to save people. possible.

Even if he shouted for help here, this person's body was injured...

Just hold on, hold on...

"Ban Xia, grab it!" The mint bamboo pole has been handed over, and Ban Xia is much more relaxed.

At least there is a place to push.

Then, at a snail-like speed, he leaned towards the shore.

Seeing that this side was almost approaching, Mint also swam over here.

At this moment, Ban Xia let go of his hand, and the wooden board cracked into several pieces with a bang. Although the person still held the hand, he also sank.

Fortunately, Mint had already arrived, and after a lot of effort, the two of them were able to stand still. The pebbles under their feet were slippery, and the feeling of being down-to-earth was really good, and their hearts became more at ease.

In the water, one person grabbed one arm and pulled the person to the bank of the bamboo forest.

When helping him ashore, Bo He and Ban Xia also climbed up dripping with water, both already exhausted.

Seeming to have just discovered that this person has a wound on his body, Mint said, "It's unlucky, how did you get such a wound."

She wasn't afraid at all.

Ban Xia shook her head and laughed a little, Mint is very dull in some places, she didn't think too much at all, instead she seemed hypocritical.

So, she checked the man's wounds again, and found that the deepest one was on the back, and there was also a wound on the wrist, which could hardly be covered by the tattered clothes on her body, but nothing else could be found.

"I don't know if I need to find a doctor or not. Why would I fall into the river? Is it possible that someone chopped me down? You wait here. I'll go back and find him my brother's clothes. Are you afraid?" Ban Xia said to Mint Said.

But Mint's eyes were shining, and he carefully looked at the person in front of him, he didn't look scared at all. He originally planned to explain that if Mint went back to find clothes, it might not be so convenient, so he didn't need to say more.

In the end, he still explained, "Try not to let people find him."

Mint nodded vigorously, "God, I actually saved a person."

"..."

Ban Xia ran back around the shore, and happened to see Wu Mei there, "Eldest sister, take the two of them back too, father will pick this stone later, if you ask, just say us..."

She couldn't figure it out, if she accidentally fell into the water, Mrs. Li might not let her go near the river in the future.

Let's go back and talk about it, maybe Mrs. Li doesn't even know.

And here, after Banxia left, Mint rolled the person's eyelids and opened the person's mouth, "Well, I didn't eat any mud... why are you so unlucky, run away if you can't fight, I have suffered such a big loss, wait..."
