i was my mistake

"You stood up too fast, didn't you?"

"I don't know...uh...let me lie down for a while..."

"Huh?" Wan Qing turned her head and saw her tightly pursing her lips, her complexion suddenly turned a little pale, "What's the matter, are you sick?"

She didn't answer, just hugged her knees tremblingly.

……

111. Green Grass

What caught my eye was the blue sky without a single cloud, and the wind that blew in brought the warmth of spring.

Ye Chen was lying on this green grassy hillside, and the wildflowers had just grown small buds, only a few of them couldn't wait to stretch some petals, but none of them were fully unfolded.

She sat up in a daze, feeling that this place was both familiar and strange.

She saw thick smoke billowing from the factory not far away, and the construction excavator was covered with mud and parked on the hillside in the distance. Several workers wearing yellow hard hats were sitting on the ground, holding aluminum The lunch box is delicious.

She couldn't remember where it was.

It just feels a little familiar.

Suddenly, she saw a thin figure struggling to climb up from the other side of the hill.

The palms and knees were full of dirt, and the whole person looked a little embarrassed.

But with a contented and smug smile on his face, he stood in front of the small hill that was less than half a square meter in size, and forcefully poked the flag in his hand, which was about as long as his arm, into the soil.

"Haha——" He turned his head and looked at the people down the mountain and shouted, "Hey——I'm here first!!"

Ye Chen is very familiar with this flag.

It was originally a piece of white curtain scraps, but after he picked it up, he painted his own pattern with a watercolor pen.

Then, with other friends who also carry the flag, compete who can reach the top of this hill first.

The breeze blowing from the top of the mountain raised this self-made flag, and the pattern of a cat carrying a big sword on its shoulders also completely unfolded with the wind.

This is Ye Chen, the Ye Chen when he was a child, the other Ye Chen, the Ye Chen before the timeline changed, and the Ye Chen who was still a teenager.

She vaguely felt that this should be a dream, because the boy seemed unable to see himself.

Is this subconscious flipping through past memories in your mind?

Maybe it’s because I’ve been looking in the mirror for a long time, and when I look at myself when I was a teenager, I really can’t pick out any good-looking places. My skin is dark, my facial features are also very ordinary, my nose is too big, my eyes are small, and my fingers are thick and short. The body is not fat.

But it made her feel very nostalgic.

I thought that even these memories would go with the wind as time went by.

No matter how unattractive the male self is, it is still the real, most original self.

She just stood aside and watched, watching the group of little friends rushing up to gather him in the center, watching them plant their own flags one after another, and watching them leave together shoulder to shoulder, on the way down the mountain Also fell down a few times.

Who these were, she didn't even remember.

I just remember that some are children of workers, some are children of farmers, and everyone plays together, as if they don't distinguish between each other.

So she also walked down the mountain together - stepping on the fluffy and soft grass.

The workers next to the excavator were already lying down on sheets of newspaper that still smelled of fresh ink.

Some are smoking cigarettes, some are holding grass sprouts, and they are all leisurely chatting about the future.

The children waved goodbye at the crossroads, scattered in all directions, like a glass of water falling into the sea, and disappeared into the narrow road.

Ye Chen just followed his young self to see where he was going.

This direction does not seem to be home, it seems that he hasn't had enough fun yet, and wants to go to the weedy pond for a stroll.

On the side of the road, he picked up a plastic bottle that someone had just thrown away, held it with both hands as if he had found a treasure, pushed aside the grass, and walked into the depths of the wild grass.

It seems that they want to use it to catch some tadpoles.

In the pond in early spring, there are always many small black tadpoles swimming around. The young animals are always cute. This kind of small tadpoles is naturally the favorite thing for children to catch, although most of them are raised for a few days. Then lost interest.

Those who are gentle and careful will take them to the pond and put them back, while those who are naughty and playful often just forget about them.

When they were discovered, the water had dried up in the bottle on the window sill, and the tadpoles had been sunburned until only a layer of black lacquered skin remained.

Children are always like this, and they will do many unintentional evil things because of their nature.

When the young Ye Chen suddenly fell, she remembered when it happened.

In the next second, a snake in the grass quickly bit his ankle, biting fiercely and refusing to let go.

He suddenly screamed in panic, and kept patting the grass snake with the bottle. The grass snake let go of hiss, and seemed to want to escape, but then, a brick flew from not far away. Come on, it slammed on the grass snake's body hard, slapping the back half of its body as thin as paper.

Then another half of a brick flew over, not even letting his head go.

This not-so-big grass snake suddenly became a bloody mess.

Xiao Yechen's lips were turning white rapidly, he was lying on the ground in a daze of consciousness, he didn't seem to notice that someone came to his side at all.

Ye Chen turned his head, but saw an extremely surprised face.

It was a girl who seemed to be the same age as him. If I remember correctly, this face was exactly the same as Wan Qing in Zhao Jinyu's childhood photo!

She was out of breath, and her body seemed to be trembling slightly, as if she was also feeling frightened.

But she quickly adjusted, took a deep breath, walked quickly to the side of the boy, bent down without hesitation, sucked out some snake venom with her mouth, then chewed a herb leaf by the pond, and spread it on him on the wound.

She touched the sweat on her forehead, and her face was full of concern. This worried look was as gentle as a mother looking at a sick child.

But at this time, she was still so young.

Ye Chen originally thought that the Wan Qing in the past did not exist, and that the existence of other people might just be a kind of memory correction.

But she really exists here...

The young Wan Qing anxiously ran to the side of the road and called for an adult, and the [-] ambulance arrived shortly thereafter.

After Xiao Yechen was sent to the car, she secretly left alone.

"Wan Qing!" Ye Chen couldn't help but chased after her, but the surrounding scenes began to become fragmented.

It was only then that she remembered that this was not a trip back to the past time and space, it was just a dream she had.

Dreams don't necessarily talk about logic, they just synthesize some of their own memories.

The fragmented scenes gradually pieced together again.

Ye Chen stood on the grassy hillside again.

Only this time without anyone.

She was alone.

The sun was hot overhead, but the wind was so cold that it could freeze water.

She bent over and lay here, not wanting to go anywhere.

The bright colors also gradually faded, turning into boundless darkness.

……

"woke up?"

"Uh..." Ye Chen slightly opened his swollen eyes, twisted his neck with difficulty, and saw Wan Qing sitting beside him.

On the rows of blue chairs, there were a few people who were coughing scattered, and she was also sitting, with a drip in her hand.

Outside the window was a drowsy darkness, as if he hadn't woken up from a dream.

"Hospital?"

"Yeah, it feels like you have a very hot fever, so I took a thermometer and it turned out that the temperature was above 41. I went to the hospital and took another test, and it was [-]. I'll give you an IV immediately." Wan Qing pointed Pointing to the father who fell asleep beside him, "I carried you on my back, he's already so sleepy that he fell asleep."

"What time is it?"

"Around three in the morning, right now." Wan Qing said, covering her mouth and yawning, "Are you hungry?"

"fine?"

"Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

"It's not hard."

Wan Qing rolled her eyes, stretched out her small hand and put it on her forehead: "Hmm...it should have dropped a lot, before yours was so hot that you could fry an egg."

"Is it that exaggerated... I feel like I just fell asleep, and then in my dream, it's a little hot and cold."

"yes."

"Well, that's right! Do you still remember what happened when you were a child? You were bitten by a snake once."

"Oh, remember, that time was much more uncomfortable than having a fever. Fortunately, I was discovered by the adults and sent to the hospital in time, otherwise I would die."

"I had a strange dream. I dreamed that...you called the Lord for me."

"I?"

"Young you."

"...I don't have that kind of memory."

"Ah... It's just a dream anyway, maybe it's just some stories that have been pieced together with chaotic logic."

"Let me go buy you something to eat. I didn't expect you to be more serious than me and Dad." Wan Qing patted her on the head, causing her to lean forward slightly, "I'll go and see what's in the canteen of the hospital. Are there any boiled eggs for sale, if you are sick, you still need to supplement your nutrition."

"it is good……"

Wan Qing swaggered out, her long hair swaying slightly behind her. Although she was petite, she always gave people the illusion of a big sister in society.

Not long after, she came over with two small bags.

"Here, tea eggs, I bought three, you two and I have one, peeled."

"Huh, it's so warm." Ye Chen picked up a tea egg coated with tomato sauce through the bag, took a bite, and immediately felt the strong smell overflowing.

"And this cream cake, it's the last one, let's eat it."

"Ah... Sure enough, it's better to eat sweets at a time like this."

"Oh, yes, here, there is also warm sweet milk, let's drink it, so as not to be too dry."

"Hey, you're quite thoughtful."

"Nonsense, of course I know what you like to eat."

"Ahem...thank you."

"Are you sick?" Wan Qing squinted at her, "Why are you being so polite all of a sudden, it seems so hypocritical, there's no need for the same person to pretend?"

"I really... express my thanks!"

"I learned from Jinyu, the quality is too high, I'm not used to it."

"...You think everyone has the same low quality as you." Ye Chen rolled his eyes, "You are so strange, you are not happy to say thank you."

"What's the use of thanking you verbally, you have to express it physically."

"Where are your eyes looking..."

"Do you want me to check your body next time? Hey."

"...The essence of the strange uncle has been completely exposed!"

……

112. A new attempt

(One)

This is the second day that Ye Chen was ill and had a fever.

I had a drip yesterday, and today I have improved a lot, but I still have a fever, but it is not as exaggerated as 41 degrees, basically around 38 degrees.

Wan Qing was repairing the video player when she heard the rustling of clothes behind her.
