Nongben is passionate

Xie Xuan stopped going out in the afternoon, and played marbles with Feng Kailuo on the bed for a while after lunch, but finally felt that it was boring, so he lay down and read a book of "Historical Records of the Sui and Tang Dynasties" with missing pages.Feng Kailuo sat cross-legged at his feet, playing marbles with himself, and soon fell asleep.

When Zhou Nansheng climbed over the wall and crept upstairs, Xie Xuan was staring sideways at the pattern inlaid with mother-of-pearl on the beam of the bed, got up quickly, and looked at Zhou Nansheng who was smoking hot——

Zhou Nansheng fanned the wind with his hands, glanced at Feng Kailuo who was sleeping soundly from the corner of his eyes, then squeezed his eyes at Xie Xuan, and whispered, "San'er, let's go play—"

Xie Xuan pursed his lips and did not speak, but his eyes wavered.

Zhou Nansheng gave him a hand, "Hurry up, or your cousin will be in trouble when he wakes up. There is a snake in the ditch in front of Ah Feng's house. Zhou Jin and the others are throwing stones at it. Let's go too!" , don’t let it get away—”

Xie Xuan was half-pushed and dragged out by Zhou Nansheng. The whole afternoon, they played from the gate of Afeng's house to the stage, and then moved to the dock—it was the source of the artificial river in the village, and the river was about ten meters wide. The boats, some abandoned, were submerged in the river with half-drawn bows, and they competed to see who could get from the southernmost boat to the northernmost boat the fastest.When Zhou Jin fled from one boat to another, he slipped his feet and fell on the target boat. There was water in the cabin and half of his body was wet. He was ridiculed by Ah Feng. Unexpectedly, the distance between the two boats was too far, and Ah Feng rushed into the river with a crash, which made everyone's faces change. Fortunately, he held the side of the boat with both hands, and it didn't sink. It was Zhou Nansheng and Xie Xuan who pulled him away. Pulled onto the boat with all hands and feet.This scene was seen by a little girl on the shore, and the pretty girl was full of arrogance, frowned, and said old-fashionedly: "Zhou Nansheng, Chen Feng, Zhou Jin, the teacher said that you are not allowed to go to the river to play. , Zhou Nansheng, you are still a class leader, how did you take the lead?"

Zhou Nansheng made a grimace, turned around and ignored the little girl at all.

Ah Feng was drenched all over, holding his dripping trousers and trying to imitate the little girl, "Zhou Nansheng, you are still a class leader~" It made people feel hairy.

The little girl was thin-skinned, glared at him, and left angrily——

Behind them was a group of boys laughing.

When the little girl disappeared, several boys began to discuss which girl in the class was the prettiest and which was the second most beautiful;Believe me or not, we bet—

Talking and arguing, an afternoon passed, Xie Xuan was on the way home, only to think of Feng Kailuo who had been left behind by him, and felt a little hesitant, guilty, uneasy, and also afraid, fearing that grandma would blame her .

Stepping into the courtyard, I saw Feng Kailuo sitting on the bench by the well in the courtyard, peeling edamame, seeing him, his red and swollen eyes quickly turned red again, and he asked with a flat mouth: "Little brother, where have you been? "

Xie Xuan avoided his gaze, walked straight into the room without speaking.

In the kitchen, the old lady was sweating profusely to light the fire—although there was a gas stove, the old lady was still accustomed to cooking with a tiger stove—seeing Xie Xuan, she beckoned him over, “San’er, come and help grandma light the fire.” , grandma wants to cook—" He didn't mention anything about leaving Feng Kailuo to play by himself.

Xie Xuan sat in the kitchen anxiously—in fact, the fire does not need to be watched all the time. After the fire starts, turn on the fan, and the fire will be very strong. You only need to add firewood at the right time.

Feng Kailuo held the washing basket in both hands, and followed Xie Xuan in, "Grandma, the edamame is ready."

"Okay, good boy, let's go play!" The old lady took the pan and rubbed the child's head.

Feng Kailuo didn't leave, but stayed next to Xie Xuan without saying a word, just staring at the fire.

His little face was flushed by the light of the fire, tiny beads of sweat covered his forehead and the tip of his nose, and his pair of black eyes were particularly bright and scorching.

Xie Xuan pushed him away, "It's hot here, go outside and play—"

Feng Kailuo took a few steps back, put his hands behind his back and leaned against the wall, not going away.

The old lady was burning eggplant on the stove, and her voice came through the thick white smoke, "Kailuo cried all afternoon today."

Xie Xuan lowered his head, feeling very uncomfortable.

Sleeping at night, Feng Kailuo opened his sleepy eyes and stared at Xie Xuan without blinking, for fear that he would wake up again and disappear.Xie Xuan was a little annoyed by his look, frowned slightly, turned around, and turned his back to him.After a while, Xie Xuan felt Feng Kailuo gently push his back from behind, calling him softly, "Little brother—"

Xie Xuan didn't answer him, closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep, Feng Kailuo yelled again, after waiting for a long time, he still didn't get Xie Xuan's response, feeling a little lonely.

When I woke up the next day, the sky was stuffy and the clouds were very low, as if a huge drama was brewing.

Xie Xuan heard Zhou Nansheng calling him, went out, and saw him standing outside the door, looking in with his head stretched out. Seeing Xie Xuan, his eyebrows and eyes were bent, revealing a mouthful of white teeth, and he looked behind him again, "San Er , where is your cousin?"

Xie Xuan turned his head to look inside, Feng Kailuo leaned against the doorpost, watching him quietly.Xie Xuan's heart softened, and he stretched out his hand to him, the child's face lit up in an instant, and he ran to Xie Xuan's side in a few steps, holding his hand.

This time Zhou Nansheng didn't say anything, the three of them walked towards a small field ahead, but when they were about to reach their destination, Zhou Nansheng took Xie Xuan to the back and whispered to him.

Feng Kailuo walked in front, facing the unfamiliar environment, feeling a little uneasy, turning his head to look at Xie Xuan from time to time, every time at this time, Zhou Nansheng would always be the first to say: "Go straight, they are right ahead, they are all over there .”

Although it felt a bit weird, Xie Xuan didn't pay much attention to it, and soon saw Zhou Jin's children waving at them.The closer they got, the more nervous and excited the faces of Zhou Jin and the others became, and even Zhou Nansheng's eyes were filled with anticipation——

Xie Xuan was about to ask, when he heard the sound of dry firewood snapping, followed by Feng Kailuo's panicked cry.Xie Xuan was startled, and hurried forward a few steps, and saw Feng Kailuo stepped into a deep pit, staggered, and fell to the ground, surrounded by cheers and laughter of victory.

In a hurry, Xie Xuan pulled Feng Kailuo up from the ground. The pit was deep, not reaching the child's knees, and there was water in the pit.

Xie Xuan is not a fool. Looking at the situation of the pit, he knew that it was a trap dug by Zhou Jin and the others. There was a popular game among them. This wilderness was originally farmland, and the soil was soft. They liked to dig holes here. Dig a foot deep, fill it with water, and seal the hole with a net of crisp thin wood, spread a piece of plastic paper, and cover it with thin soil and hay as a camouflage, and watch the other The place is the same, this is their easy trap.

Once the trap is done, someone has to try the results, but this trap is not on the road, except for children, who will run into the wilderness without incident, even the children in the village, whoever is not a thief, no one will be able to use this little trick When.Obviously, this time, they focused on Feng Kailuo who didn't understand anything.

Feng Kailuo's face was pale with fright, his eyes were red, but he didn't dare to cry.The body is dirty, especially the legs that stepped into the pit are covered with muddy water, making a mess of the trousers.

Xie Xuan cast his angry eyes on Zhou Nansheng who led them here, the smug smile on Zhou Nansheng's face stopped abruptly, and the next second, Xie Xuan rushed over and pushed him hard, Zhou Nansheng was caught off guard and fell to the ground.

"What are you doing?" Zhou Nansheng had never been so ashamed before, with annoyance on his face, he got up and pushed Xie Xuan.Xie Xuan staggered and stood firm without falling, but his anger could no longer be concealed, and he and Zhou Nansheng grabbed each other twice, you pulled my clothes, and I hooked your feet.Youthful spirit, full of impulsive blood in the body, like two little beasts entangled and wrestling with each other, the cheering and persuading sounds of other children, and Feng Kailuo's crying could not be heard. They all want to pounce on each other and ride on each other.

Although Xie Xuan has never fought before, he is stubborn and has a kind of relentless ruthlessness in his bones. No one has discovered the hostility hidden in his body. Therefore, when the two are forced to separate, he has always been very good at fighting. Zhou Nansheng didn't see much, the two were out of breath, their bodies were covered with mud and grass clippings, and there were bloodstains from nail scratches on their bare arms and faces.

Zhou Nansheng's eyes were red, and he stared at Xie Xuan, feeling wronged and sad in his heart, and said ruthlessly, "Give me back all the marbles I gave you!"

Xie Xuan said coldly, "Repay it."

After finishing speaking, he ran home as fast as possible, pocketed all the marbles from the drawer inside the bed, and when he returned to the wilderness, threw the marbles to Zhou Nansheng, "Give it back to you, Who cares."

After throwing away all the marbles, Xie Xuan picked up Feng Kailuo and went back without looking back.

Zhou Nansheng stood there in a daze. He was just talking in anger. Who would have thought that Xie Xuan really threw all the marbles to him, and his heartless look immediately suppressed Zhou Nansheng's guilt that had just surfaced, and made him even angrier. .

A child next to him picked up marbles and held them in front of Zhou Nansheng, "Nansheng, marbles."

Zhou Nansheng didn't even look at it, kicked him hard, turned his head around, and went home alone.

The child shouted from behind: "Hey, Nansheng, you don't want the marbles—don't give them to me—"

"give me--"

"Give it to me!"

The rest of the children swarmed over the scattered marbles and divided them up.

Xie Xuan led Feng Kailuo back home with a limp. The two of them who were originally tidy were in a panic, because they were afraid of being scolded by their grandmother, and before they entered the door, Xie Xuan instructed Feng Kailuo, and the two of them tiptoed into the house. Seeing grandma busy in the kitchen, she went upstairs quietly.Xie Xuan fetched water, first helped Feng Kailuo take off his dirty clothes, scrubbed him casually, and then urged him to put on clean clothes before starting to take care of himself. It hurt more and more when he met the water, but it was not as good as the depression and discomfort in his heart.He tidied up casually and hid the dirty clothes, hoping to wash them quietly when grandma was taking a nap.

The sky outside was cloudy and the wind was blowing.Looking out from the corridor on the second floor, you can see that the people on the opposite side are eager to collect the Chen Mi at the door.Xie Xuan walked to the piano room bored—since he met Zhou Nansheng, he had been neglected on the piano for many days. Now that he broke up with Zhou Nansheng, he remembered this friend who had accompanied him in his loneliest time.He just sat on the piano bench and played a few notes lazily, then lost his mind and stared out the window in a daze.

Feng Kailuo leaned obediently by the piano, his face was full of novelty and longing, just looking at Xie Xuan, he felt a little sad, "Little brother, why don't they like me?"

Xie Xuan turned to look at Feng Kailuo, and beckoned him to sit next to her.

Feng Kailuo carefully touched the scratch on the back of Xie Xuan's hand, and whispered, "It's okay, I don't like them either."

Xie Xuan tapped the keys with his index finger, "Kai Luo, what do you do when you're at home?"

Feng Kailuo said, "Watch TV."

Xie Xuan let out a sigh.

After a while, Feng Kailuo said again: "Little brother, shall we play marbles together later?"

Xie Xuan showed a dejected look on his face, "The marbles belong to someone else, so I returned them to him. Didn't you see that?"

Feng Kailuo groaned, got up low, and scratched the edge of the piano with his fingers.

Xie Xuan said, "Kai Luo, shall I teach you how to play the piano?"

Feng Kailuo frowned, "Okay."

Xie Xuan's heart lightened a little, and he played a brisk tune. Just after the tune was finished, there was a clatter outside, and raindrops fell overwhelmingly, stirring up a layer of dust on the dry ground.

Feng Kailuo climbed off the piano bench at once, ran to the window, tiptoed to look out, turned around and said to Xie Xuan with joy, "Little brother, it's raining!"

Xie Xuan looked out the window and saw the lotus planted in the earthen vat swaying from side to side under the raindrops, the banana tree in the south corner was as green as washing, and the air was full of the pleasant smell of water molecules, so he nodded with a smile, "Yes. "
