short-lived

At that time, Baby Xie was strolling around the pharmacy, considering whether to buy some candied haws for his little cousin, so Zhou Xiaochu ran over here.

Zhou Xiaochu saw him, and for some unknown reason, he yelled: "Thank you baby!"

Xie Baobao was stunned by this sentence, he hesitated whether to answer, but heard the clerk from the pharmacy shout loudly: "Okay, the thief has accomplices!"

Xie Baobao gritted his teeth, Zhou Xiaochu was still cheating on him!

The guys behind caught up, and Xie Baobao thought that if he was caught, he would inevitably be beaten up, and he might not be able to explain clearly, so he turned around and ran in front of Zhou Xiaochu.

The two of them were used to playing in the streets and alleys, and they dumped a bunch of guys with twists and turns.

Xie Baobao leaned against the wall panting, a pack of medicine dangled in Zhou Xiaochu's hand.

When Xie Baobao saw it, his heart arose, and when Zhou Xiaochu wasn't paying attention, he snatched it away.

Zhou Xiaochu immediately came to his senses and reached out to grab it.

Xie Baobao didn't give in, took the medicine in one hand, and pushed Zhou Xiaochu with the other.

"You thief, why do you hate it so much, you steal things by yourself and bring others with you, don't you feel comfortable when others are unlucky?"

"I didn't! I didn't do it on purpose!" Zhou Xiaochu got up from the ground, grabbed Baby Xie's hand, and went to grab the package of medicine again.

Baby Xie became even angrier when his hands hurt from him. Looking to the right, there was a pigsty not far away, and several black pigs were rolling in the mud.

"Did you see your place? Go there and find your medicine!"

Xie Baobao gestured to throw it in.

When Zhou Xiaochu heard this, his body froze.

"Thank you baby, don't throw it, don't throw it, okay?"

Seeing that he couldn't grab it, Zhou Xiaochu begged sadly, he let go of Xie Baobao's hand, but he didn't let go.

Baby Xie hesitated for a moment, raised his chin, and said, "Are you...wrong?"

Zhou Xiaochu nodded hurriedly.

Xie Baobao looked at Zhou Xiaochu's red eyes a few times, and his heart softened a little, thinking that this would be enough to teach him a lesson.

Just as he was about to withdraw his hand, Xiao Pingzi from the neighbor's house suddenly appeared.

"What are you doing?"

Xiaopingzi thought the two of them were fighting and rushed in to join the battle.

When he did this, Xie Baobao couldn't stand up, and the medicine in his hand flew out.

The medicine hit a sow on the head. The sow grunted twice, stood up, shook the meat, the medicine bag slipped down, the rope loosened, and the herbs inside were scattered in the mud.

Seeing this, Zhou Xiaochu screamed, let go of Xie Baobao and ran towards the pigsty.

He turned over the pigsty and looked for medicine in the mud.The stench in there was overwhelming, Xie Baobao couldn't bear to see it, so he shouted: "Zhou Xiaochu!"

Xiaopingzi didn't understand, so he asked, "What happened to him?"

Xie Baobao ignored him and ran to the pigsty.

The pig inside was enraged by Zhou Xiaochu who was pushing back and forth, so he snorted and arched towards Zhou Xiaochu.

Angry pigs are very aggressive, regardless of male or female.Seeing the danger, Xie Baobao quickly stepped into the pigsty, pulled Zhou Xiaochu up and ran out.

Zhou Xiaochu was still chanting: "My medicine, my medicine..."

"Don't think about medicine, your life is almost gone!"

Before the pigs caught up with them, Xie Baobao pushed Zhou Xiaochu out and jumped out himself.

Zhou Xiaochu was sitting on the ground, his body was covered in mud, he was in a panic, his eyes were empty, as if there was nothing left.Baby Xie seemed to understand something called despair for the first time.He was shocked by himself and felt that he had done something he shouldn't have done.

He said: "That... I will return the medicine to you."

Zhou Xiaochu didn't speak, and didn't look at Xie Baobao again. He supported his body with difficulty, got up from the ground, and staggered away.

In order to buy another pack of medicine, Xie Baobao got up early every day to run errands in Li's house, and saved up the money given by his parents.He calculated that if he saved up like this for about ten days, he should be able to pay for the medicine.

He put a few copper coins under his pillow and counted them at night.

His little cousin came to see him and asked curiously, "Cousin, what are you doing?"

Baby Xie smiled and said, "Nothing? After a few days, I'll buy you candied haws."

"Okay, okay." The little cousin came over and hugged his arm.

On the ninth night, Baby Xie counted the money and was very happy. As long as tomorrow came, he would not owe Zhou Xiaochu anything.

Early in the morning, Baby Xie woke up, dressed in a hurry, and rushed to Li's residence.

He ran out with the wind on the soles of his feet, but he faintly heard crying from the opposite street, and suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.

There were many neighbors gathered in front of Zhou Xiaochu's house, Xie Baobao hurriedly slipped in through the gap in the crowd, and saw Zhou Xiaochu kneeling next to a stiff woman at a glance.

Xie Baobao's heart cooled down.

Zhou Xiaochu's mother couldn't wait until the tenth day.

Amidst Zhou Xiaochu's miserable cries, Xie Baobao silently withdrew from the crowd.

He returned home in a daze, covered his head with the quilt, and began to cry.
