C24 (1/2)

Early in the morning, in the middle of the endless watermelon fields, the seedlings were growing.

It was the season for watermelons to ripen. There were many tricycles parked on the alleyway. Watermelon dealers and melon farmers were bargaining nonstop.

An old man led two plain eleven-year-old boys to pick a big watermelon from the ground and carried it to the side of the road.

< p > ”Ah!”

Suddenly, one of the dark and strong youngsters shouted loudly, as if he had seen something terrifying. He retreated a few steps and tripped over the watermelon seedlings before squatting down on the ground and smashing the two watermelons into pieces. The red pulp of the watermelon leaked out and splattered all over the ground.

”Er Pang, you reckless fool! ”I was too careless.”

The old man's heart ached for the watermelon and even more so for Er Pang.

< p > ”Grandfather!” ”Take a look.”

Er Pang pointed to a spot a few metres in front of him. There was actually a person lying there, his face ashen, his eyes closed, his purple t-shirt was tattered, and there were a few holes on his blue and white jeans.

His left foot was bare, and his right foot wore a monastic shoe.

The old man's heart skipped a beat. The first thought that came to his mind was that of a dead man!

What followed was an incomparable sense of regret and unease. The appearance of a dead person in their home's land was not a good symbol.

”Dahei, you go take a look.”

The old man passed the watermelon knife in his hand to the young man beside him.

The young man swallowed a mouthful of saliva and bravely went over, lightly kicking the man a few times.

With his sharp eyes, the old man saw the man's fingers move a few times. ”He's still alive!” Er Pang, quick. Carry him to the village infirmary. ”

< p > ”I —”

Er Pang rolled his eyes. He was born timid, and would only dare to be submissive as he did not dare to approach.

”Grandpa, let me do it.” You and Er Pang, look at the ground. ”

As Blackie spoke, he returned the watermelon knife to the old man and gently patted his face a few times. The man's tightly shut eyes were dark and lifeless; he was obviously very weak.

Big Black's body was not as strong as Er Pang's. Furthermore, he was young and weak, and the person on the ground was quite tall. The old man immediately went over to help, lifting him up and placing him on Big Black's back.

A black thing came out from the man's pockets, Er Pang immediately picked it up. Seeing that it was a new type of phone, he was overjoyed, and seeing that the old man and Blackie were only supporting the man as he walked forward, he did not notice at all.

Er Pang hesitated for a moment, but still put the phone back in his pocket and continued to pick the watermelon with a smile.

The old man sent Blackie to the ground. He felt that the old man's face was a bit familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him before.

There were still other people in the field, but when the old man saw a young man in front of him, he immediately shouted, ”Zhu Shan! Zhu Shan! ”

The young man's upper body was bare, and his tanned and robust skin reflected the morning light. He put down the two large watermelons in his hands and turned around. ”Second Uncle, what's wrong?”

He saw a person on Blackie's back. The person had a frown and pursed his lips. Then, he quickly ran over.

The old man said, ”Zhu Shan, hurry and deal with Blackie.

Zhu Shan was tall, and his height neared a hundred and ninety centimeters. He directly carried the person on Blackie's back into his embrace, and felt that the person's body was a little cold. Lowering his head to look at the person's delicate and pretty face, he couldn't help but be shocked. ”Hong, hong!”

Zhu Shan seemed to recognize this person and immediately shook this person's body. A red Hubane's Pendant appeared from his neck.

< p > ”Aiya, Hong, it's really you! ”What — what is going on?”

Zhu Shan was extremely anxious, he carried the person and ignored Da Hei, and immediately ran back to the village.

”Grandpa?”

Blackie looked at Zhu Shan's figure disappearing in the distance. There were more than 100 kilograms of people in his embrace but they didn't seem to have any weight.
