72 Chapter 72
Although Xu Lingyuan and the others could vaguely hear their chatter and laughter, it was obvious that the two of them couldn't pay attention to that at all.
When Ah Qi asked Xu Lingyuan to sit on the embankment, and found herbs to apply to his wound, he didn't even change his sitting posture, and he didn't care about the injury on his leg, but his hands seemed to be out of control. He kept pulling the grass on the ground, and it didn't take long for the grass around him to be almost cleared.
"I'm fine, it doesn't hurt at all." Seeing that A Qi was carefully applying the medicine for him, he couldn't help comforting him.
It's just that it's okay if I don't say it, but I feel even more uncomfortable when I mention it like this.Thinking of what he saw at that time, the leech that was shrunk into a ball by A Qi and was as thick as a thumb, he was not only trembling in his heart, it could be said that his heart was trembling with fear, and there was an indescribable shock.
"Are you scared stupid?" A Qi said with a noncommittal smile to his reluctant comfort.
A Qi also knew that although the wound left by the leech was bleeding, he really wouldn't feel much, but he didn't show mercy at all when he slapped it off. Although the blood stains on the skin were cleaned up, the handprints were still very clearly left on it, so it's no wonder that it doesn't hurt.
"It's not that I'm afraid, don't you think that thing is very repulsive?" Xu Lingyuan argued weakly, and also felt that his reaction was a bit embarrassing, "I'm not afraid of rats and cockroaches."
"Well, what about earthworms?" A Qi nodded first, and then he probably remembered that every time he fished, he never touched the bait, he made it himself and handed it to him, so he asked curiously .
"..." Xu Lingyuan uprooted the grass in his hand silently, and then said angrily, "Don't mention those soft things to me!"
There was no way, he was just so scared that when he saw them, his legs went limp uncontrollably, and the lightest thing was that his whole body was stiff, and he couldn't overcome it at all.
A Qi just smiled obediently, and carefully applied the medicine to the handprint.But I found it very interesting in my heart, and seemed to be happy that I knew him better.
"Don't worry about it, I wasn't angry at you just now, I just don't like those things by nature." Realizing that his tone just now was a bit harsh, although he felt that A Qi didn't seem to care much, he still relaxed After a while, he said, "I never knew there was such a thing in the field."
"You haven't worked in the fields before, so you don't know." A Qi comforted him with a natural smile.
"En." Not knowing how to tell him, Xu Lingyuan could only make a false reply.
In his memory, in his previous life, there were really no such things in the seedling fields. After thinking about it, this is probably the benefit of using chemical fertilizers and pesticides. While poisoning fish and waterfowl, it also eliminated these harmful things. .
Thinking of his previous life, when he was as old as Ah Qi, he also had to do all kinds of farm work, because he was the boss, he had to know how to share the worries of his parents, and he had to set an example, and the only thing he gained from doing this was some sensible and diligent people in the village. As for his family, they don't even have such a word of approval, but as long as his younger brother doesn't cause trouble outside, they can boast for several days.
Thinking of this, he suddenly turned his head to look at A Qi who was still staring at his leg. If he encountered such a thing in his previous life, no matter how scared he was, he could only get it off by himself in the end. , even if he yelled a little, he would be scolded with disdain, let alone such concern, but maybe it was because of his concern that he let himself be so indulgent.
A Qi has always said that he is good to him, but in fact, he should be the one who gets the most benefits.
"I'm fine, you can go back quickly, lest your mother say that you have been spoiled by me." He suppressed the emotion in his heart, and persuaded him with a smile, "You should also pay attention to it, and watch it for yourself in a while." Look, don’t even know if you’re bitten.”
More than a month ago, A Qi's mother finally gave birth to another boy, but since then, maybe he realized that A Qi will no longer listen to her like before, and will give him a share in the future. Therefore, she has a sense of crisis. In short, her behavior is completely different from before.
The most obvious manifestation is that she no longer reprimanded her children, but finally pointed the finger at A Qi, looking for trouble for nothing, and even complained to everyone that she used to be too honest and didn't see A Qi at all. He was a climber who stepped on the low, and worked hard to raise him, but once he climbed to the high branch of Xu Lingyuan, he didn't take her seriously at all.
At first, the villagers would try to persuade A Qi to be more patient, but as she complained more and more often, and she also turned cold eyes on A Qi, they finally saw the clues.
Just like just now, she let Ah He and the others watch the sleeping child, and hurriedly came to the field to pull the seedlings for a while. In fact, there is a child to take care of, and no one will say anything if she doesn't come, or don't say that. After saying this, others will also appreciate the words of hard work and hard work, but she is not as tolerant as before, so it is no wonder that people scoff at her.
"No one will believe her words." A Qi said casually, "I'll go get your shoes, you can go back in a while, it's getting more and more dry."
Thinking of that thing, Xu Lingyuan gave up the idea of taking it, and could only look gratefully at the back of A Qi leaving.
But I didn't expect that A Qi hadn't come back yet, but A Gui and the others who were catching fish and shrimp along the ditch ran over first. They probably knew what happened just now from the adults, and they all scrambled to watch the good show.
"Tsk tsk, Ah Qi really slapped his hand. This slap is more painful than a leech bite, isn't it?" Agui saw that there was a layer of herbal medicine on his leg, and he didn't seem to understand that he was bitten, why did he apply it so much? It was a big piece, so I poked it with my hand, and when I saw the red and swollen handprint below, I pretended to be surprised and said.
"I'll show you how big it is, and you'll know." Someone suddenly said while holding the leech in front of everyone's eyes.
"You..." Seeing it again suddenly, Xu Lingyuan was about to tell him to take it away quickly, but just as he opened his mouth, the thing was snatched away and disappeared before his eyes.
A Qi, who had snatched the thing, ignored everyone's incomprehensible gazes, pulled out a weed and turned it over, and then tied it firmly to a tree. With such weather, it is estimated that he will be killed in a few days. burnt.
"Aqi, it's the little scholar who was bitten, not you. He hasn't vented his anger yet. Why are you in such a hurry?" Looking at the executed leech, everyone who knew that this was not going to be a good show felt a little disappointed. complained.
"His leg hurts, it's inconvenient." A Qi said very calmly.
"Yeah, thank you." Seeing that Aqi didn't mention what he was afraid of at all, Xu Lingyuan hurriedly said in cooperation.
"Oh, then when your leg doesn't hurt, how about we catch some together to vent our anger?" Everyone refused to let it go.
"Okay, when I go back, I will add some more things to recite. After the recitation, we can catch them every day." Xu Lingyuan looked at them and said very reasonably, "In order to catch them sooner, I will invite the patriarch and the others together Supervise, save the time from dragging too long."
"After playing for so long, it's time for me to help dad pull out the seedlings." Agui seemed to have a sudden toothache, and ran away after grinning.
"Little Xiucai, Ah Qi has already avenged you, you should forget about it quickly, I'm going to help you too."
"..."
After a while, the embankment became quiet again. Xu Lingyuan, who was very satisfied, almost forgot what happened just now. Standing up, he said proudly, "I see who is scaring whom!"
Seeing that A Qi was still looking at him with a smile after speaking, he was afraid of delaying his business again, so he listened to his words and went home first. As for the seedling field, he estimated that he would never go there easily in the future.
After that incident, for a long time, Xu Lingyuan didn't dare to go into the water casually, until he heard their reassurance that there were very few water insects such as leeches in the running water, and only in a relatively closed environment like a rice field would they gather more.And with the arrival of summer, they were liberated from the school, and they walked around the water almost every day. If he didn't want to be a bystander all the time, he would definitely go into the water.
So, after observing for a period of time, he found that the situation was indeed as they said, so he followed it with a fluke mentality. After a few times, he became more and more relieved.
"Little Xiucai, I'm really convinced of you. Can't you walk and touch, stand there still, and expect the fish to take the initiative to drill into your hand?" Ah Shan, who was also fishing in the same ditch, saw him just Groping in one place, couldn't help but said to him.
"Oh." Knowing that what he said was true, Xu Lingyuan responded kindly and walked forward.
The ditch where they are now is far away from the village. Because few people pass by, both sides of the ditch are covered with aquatic plants, and there are some water insects such as water spiders on the water surface, but there are really many fish. Seeing that they were able to throw one up in a short while, he, who was still a little nervous in his heart, finally couldn't help it.
It's just that after all, I was still a little worried, and didn't dare to let go like they did. I dawdled and fell behind alone, thinking that if there was anything, I should have been scared away when they passed by.Seeing Ah Shan calling him at this moment, he boldly strode towards them.
"Hiss!" Just after taking a few steps, he suddenly felt that something pricked his ankle. Although the pain was excruciating, he didn't care much after he knew it wasn't a leech based on his feeling. He took a deep breath and raised his feet to look at it.
"Little Xiucai, run away, there are poisonous snakes!" Probably because his movement was a bit loud, the people who turned their heads in front, wanting to see what happened, suddenly shouted at him while avoiding.
Just as he was about to see if he had been stabbed by something, when they called out, he looked up and saw a black-brown snake that quickly swam past his legs, and disappeared on the shore before he started to get scared. In the weeds on the side.
Some people smashed it with mud a few times, and after making sure that the snake had crawled away, they continued to catch fish.Only Ah Qi, seeing him struggling to look at his feet, walked over with some worry.
"What's wrong?" Seeing that he was not standing very stably, A Qi asked while supporting him.
"It's nothing, it's just that I was stabbed by something just now, it's just right, you can help me take a look." Xu Lingyuan said lightly, and stretched out his ankle to show him.
"How do you feel? Is there something wrong?" A Qi just grabbed his feet and looked at him, his face suddenly changed, and he asked anxiously and panickedly.
"No, it hurt just now, but it's much better now." Xu Lingyuan didn't understand why he was making such a fuss, so he broke free from his hand and planned to go ashore to find out what happened.
It's just that he just pulled back his foot and stood up straight, but suddenly felt that the injured foot was a little out of control. He was standing crookedly on only one foot, and finally realized that something was wrong.
Seeing him like this, A Qi became even more flustered, and with the help of everyone who rushed over after hearing the words, he dragged him to the shore first.Now it can be clearly seen that there are two small bite marks on his right ankle.
"Little Xiucai, how do you feel now?" Seeing that he was trying to move his right leg, but it was very laborious, Agui asked a little nervously.
"It seems that I don't feel anything below the knee of this leg." Xu Lingyuan said calmly, frowning while pinching his leg.
"Look at the wound, it must have been bitten by that snake?" Suddenly someone asked, "Didn't that snake swim past Xiaoxiu Cai?"
"Don't talk nonsense!" A Qi suddenly said angrily, and then tried to get Xu Lingyuan to stand up.
"Probably not?" Xu Lingyuan helped him stand up, but he really couldn't use his right foot at all, "No, my leg is a little stiff."
"It's not good, the little scholar was bitten by a snake." Seeing his reaction, everyone finally lost their temper and shouted in panic.
"Then it's poisoned, what should I do now?"
"I think that snake looks like a five-step snake. If it is true, wouldn't it be a disaster?"
"Little Xiucai, don't move around, let's go back and call the adults!"
"..."
After a group of people rushed home, only him with a messy face was left on the shore, and A Qi, who seemed to be poisoned more deeply than him, with a dignified face.
