"Sew something together and hang it up for you tomorrow so that we don't get separated."
There were only so many people on the road when we came here. I thought there would be even more people during the day.
Make a homemade anti-lost rope to avoid being scattered by the crowd. Although there are still some days left for the leaving test, there will definitely be a lot of people coming in advance, and the kidnappers will definitely take the opportunity to kidnap people, so you have to be on guard.
By the time she finished sewing the anti-lost rope, Li Heng had already fallen asleep on the pillow.
Blow out the candles, get into bed, and count sheep with your eyes closed.
Maybe I was too tired, or maybe I wasn’t used to changing places, so I woke up and fell asleep all night, and didn’t sleep well until the early morning.
When he opened his eyes, the room was bright, and Li Heng beside him was still sleeping. According to his schedule at home, he went to school to study early.
It seems that the child is also exhausted.
I stretched myself out and sat up. I was not in a hurry anyway, so I did the finishing touches on the remaining clothes. The moon-white shirt was made for Li Hui to wear during the scientific examination. The new clothes and new atmosphere are a good start.
"Well... mother..."
After Li Heng rambled, he felt something was wrong. He sat up and blinked.
"No rush, just sleep for a while if you don't wake up, and go out and have lunch together later."
Li Heng smiled naively, put on his shoes and went out, then came back after a while and said:
"Mom, it's hotter here than at home. Is it so hot at Laoye Ridge?"
"Probably." Cheng Xue smiled and bit off the thread, "Didn't you see that we took a detour when we came here? The mountain is so high, it should have an impact."
Li Heng pursed his lips and thought for a moment, then said quietly:
"It would be great if we could dig a hole in the mountain, so we don't have to take a detour and don't have to rush on the road."
Thinking about the rush into the city yesterday, I only had one break in the whole day, and I didn’t even dare to drink water. My mother didn’t even get out of the car. It’s scary to think about it.
Cheng Xue looked at the child's thoughtful look and folded the clothes.
"It's good to dig a hole. If you study hard, maybe you can dig a hole in the middle of Laoye Ridge in the future to make it easier for everyone to travel."
"Just think about it, if the mountain is so high and thick and it collapses if you can't dig it out, it will be troublesome."
After Li Hui finished speaking, he stopped thinking about it, folded the quilt, and went down to the ground to scoop water to wash up.
It is indeed difficult for children to dig caves. After all, the project is not small. Without electricity and relying solely on manpower, it is impossible. But it is a good idea. Maybe Liangyan can do it after a few generations of development.
After washing up, Cheng Xue tied the anti-lost ropes to their wrists respectively. The ropes were one meter long to prevent others from taking advantage of them.
Lock the house door and the courtyard door, and the two of you will go to the Gongyuan first.
Cheng Xue tried to remember landmark buildings along the way to avoid getting lost and unable to come back. The city is much larger than the county, so it should not be taken lightly.
The walk from home to Gongyuan is not as close as the one in the county, but it’s not bad, it only takes twenty minutes.
The red lacquered door is tightly locked, which makes you feel depressed just by looking at it.
"Mom, why do I feel so scared?"
"What are you afraid of?"
"I can't tell, I just don't want to go in anyway." Li Heng said while leaning towards her.
Cheng Xue took his hand and left, with no destination in mind, so she just walked around. After passing through countless streets, there were crowds of people and it was extremely lively.
They sell food, drinks, toys, and daily necessities...everything is available.
The mother and son were not separated due to the traction of the anti-lost rope.
I found a food stall with space and ordered four steamed buns, two bowls of porridge, and two small bowls of steamed vegetables.
Steamed potato slices, steamed fish.
The potato chips are quite affordable, and a bowl is full. The steamed fish is just one piece, and the tail part has a lot of thorns. But the taste is good, it is stewed in sauce, and it is very fragrant.
Cheng Xue took a piece of fish for herself and gave the rest to Li Heng, reminding:
"Be careful, there are many thorns in the fish tail."
Li Heng stopped talking and nodded while chewing the steamed bun.
The surroundings were very noisy, and some people were chatting loudly, making it difficult not to listen.
"I heard from the salesman next door to me that there is an epidemic in Maoshan Town, Pingyang County."
"What? Are you sure? We are about to take the provincial examination. Can it be true?"
"Why don't you really sell goods? Come back and think about it with your brain. I've made a plan. I'll clean up today and go out of town with my wife tomorrow."
"That's not the case, our city is separated by Laoye Ridge."
"Then we have to take precautions just in case. Why do those sour scholars study so hard? Maybe some of them have to take the exam with illness, so we have to take precautions."
The conversation that seems to be in a lowered voice is actually heard clearly by others.
There was a table that was probably here for the scientific examination. Hearing this, he said "ouch" and asked:
"Brother, are you telling the truth?"
"It's not true, I'm talking nonsense." After the man finished speaking, he put the food into his mouth.
Cheng Xue couldn't help but turned her head and glanced, frowning slightly.
For a moment, she couldn't decide whether what he said was true or false.
"Mom, eat."
Her son's voice interrupted her thoughts, and when she lowered her head, she saw a lot of fish bones in the bowl.
Tsk tsk tsk, what a warm man.
Cheng Xue lived up to her child's kindness, lowered her head to take a bite, and said with a smile:
"Fragrance, that's what my son picked."
Li Heng was encouraged and chewed potato chips with a smile.
After finishing their meal, the couple left the food stall, walked around the main street of Fucheng, and then walked around again.
There was nothing she could do, but the "epidemic" the man just mentioned still made her worried.
If it is true and someone takes the scientific examination while sick, then Li Hui will be affected. There are five children in the family and cannot be ignored.
After walking around for several times, I heard no more news about the "epidemic". Could it be that she was overthinking it, or was that person just being alarmist?
"Mom, what are we going to do now?"
"Not doing anything, just strolling around. Are you tired?"
Li Heng shook his head, "I'm not tired, I'm worried about my mother being tired."
"Don't worry, my mother is in good health and she won't be as useless as she was last year."
When the words fell, Li Heng said "Hey", pulled her and walked forward.
I saw a crowd of people gathered not far away. Among the crowd was an old man slumped to the ground, his face reddish and his eyes closed.
Cheng Xue was shocked when she saw this, and hurriedly evacuated the crowd, took out a handkerchief and gave it to Li Heng to fan him, and then she knelt down to check the old man.
Judging from his clothes and clean beard, he must be a fastidious person.
After calling "old man" several times and getting no response, she pinched the tiger's mouth and held her in a neutral position to try to wake him up.
Finally, after her much trouble, the old man finally woke up, but Cheng Xue didn't let him get up, and waited for a moment before helping him up.
"Thank you, little lady, if it weren't for you, I would have done this for my old bones."
"Mr. Shen, hurry up, our master is in front, hurry up -"
After a hurried sound, the young man ran into the crowd, dragging a gray-bearded and panting doctor.
"Shunxi is always so irritable and irritable. It makes Mr. Shen tired. I'm fine now, thanks to this little lady. Where do you live, little lady? I have to send someone to thank you."
Cheng Xue shook her head slightly, made a mark on her body, and said:
"You're welcome, old man. It's just a little effort. Please be more careful when you go out in the future. Yang resistance is no joke. A little carelessness can really kill you."
