Chapter 9 Fainted Again
"Aran, Aran..."
Amid a burst of anxious calls, Zhang Ran tried hard to open his eyes, and the purpose was to see a familiar face with concern. This person was no one else, but his "mother" Zhang Li.
A breeze hit, Zhang Ran raised his eyelids and was surprised to find that he was actually lying under the shade of a big tree with lush branches and leaves.
"Thank God, Aran, you finally woke up! Aran, you scared your mother to death!"
Before Zhang Ran could clear his thoughts, Zhang Li, who was standing beside him, hugged Zhang Ran tightly in his arms with tears in his face, as if he was afraid that Zhang Ran would suddenly disappear.
When the mother's cold tears fell on her cheeks, Zhang Ran suddenly remembered that she seemed to faint just now.
Seeing that his mother was crying and her eyes were filled with worries, Zhang Ran couldn't help but struggle and explained: "Mother, I'm fine! I was so tired just now that I was just exhausted and I accidentally took off my strength. Just take a break!"
"You child!" Zhang Ran's explanation not only failed to satisfy his mother, but seemed to anger Zhang Li even more. In anger, Zhang Li lightly pointed Zhang Ran's forehead and taught a lesson: "I told you a long time ago, don't come, don't come! You can insist on showing off. Your child is too stubborn! You don't think about it. If you have a few shortcomings, how can we let our mother and daughter live!"
"Uh" Zhang Ran shrank his head awkwardly. In the face of his mother's questioning, Zhang Ran felt speechless, so he had to pretend to be stupid and not speak even if he beat him to death. He won the sympathy of his mother and used his sight to get through.
However, how could Zhang Ran's trick escape Zhang Li's eyes? Zhang Li glanced at Zhang Ran fiercely and sighed helplessly: "Forget it, forget it, you can rest here this afternoon! Just leave the things in the field to me!"
"But…"
"No, but, no matter what, you must obey me today, or you will break your legs!"
Zhang Li glared at Zhang Ran viciously, then turned to the little girl beside him and ordered: "Sui'er, look out for your brother. If he dares to disobey, you should tell your mother immediately, do you understand?"
Hearing his mother's words, the little girl nodded like a chicken pecking at the rice, and waved her fists fiercely, and patted her breasts and promised loudly: "Mother, don't worry! I will definitely look after my brother. If he dares to do something wrong, Sui'er will teach him a lesson for you and vent your anger!"
"Well! Sui'er is so good!" Zhang Li touched the little girl's head with great satisfaction, then glared at Zhang Ran again, warning: "My mother is going to remove the weeds, don't run around, do you know?"
After saying that, Zhang Li picked up the hoe again and walked towards the field.
Looking at the mother's back as she gradually faded away, Zhang Ran patted her forehead in annoyance, and always felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, and felt deeply ashamed of her incompetence.
Although he knew that his current physical condition was a bit bad and it might be a bit difficult to do farm work, he really didn't expect that just a mere weeding would make him exhausted and feel powerless. If the real busy farming season came, could he with his physical condition hold on?
"Hey, there is no water?" After Zhang Li went to work in the fields, the task of taking care of Zhang Ran fell on Zhang Sui'er's shoulders. Thinking that his brother had just woken up, he might be thirsty. Zhang Sui'er squatted down and took out the clay pot from the basket beside him. She wanted to feed her brother some water, but when she picked up the clay pot, she suddenly felt that the clay pot was very light. When she looked down, she found that the clay pot was actually gone.
"Brother, are you thirsty? I'll go to the river to get some water for you?"
After finding that there was no water, Zhang Sui'er stood up, shook the clay pot in Zhang Ran's hand, and asked him.
"Well, I'm really a little thirsty..." After hearing my sister's inquiry, Zhang Ran couldn't help but lick her chapped lips, and nodded subconsciously.
"Then brother, let's take a break here first, I'll get you water now..."
As he said that, Zhang Sui'er held the pottery in her arms, turned around and walked in the opposite direction of Zhang Ran...
"etc!"
Seeing that his sister wanted to go to the river to fetch water alone, Zhang Ran couldn't help but feel a little worried, so he quickly shouted behind Zhang Sui'er, then struggled, tried hard to stand up, and said loudly: "Sui'er, don't leave first, I'll go with you!"
"Um?"
After hearing the shouts coming from behind, Zhang Sui'er turned around and saw that her brother was shaking and stood up. She was shocked and quickly put the pottery jar aside, jogged a few steps, and came to support Zhang Ran.
While carefully holding Zhang Ran up, Zhang Sui'er advised Zhang Ran: "Brother, what are you doing? Isn't it just to get some water? I'll just go alone. Brother, you have just woken up and need more rest. Let's stay here and wait for me to come back!"
"I'm not at ease when you go alone..." Zhang Ran said as he tried to take two steps forward, and found that except for his feeling of being a little heavy, his condition in all aspects was fine, and he basically had no problem walking.
So he turned to his sister Zhang Sui'er and said, "Look, am I fine? I just accidentally got out of strength just now. Now I have a rest and it's almost done. Let's go to the river to get water together. I also want to wash my face. I was sweating all over and felt so uncomfortable..."
After saying that, Zhang Ran took a step forward without waiting for Zhang Suier to respond...
"Brother, slower, slower..."
Seeing that he could not stop his brother's actions, Zhang Sui'er could only hurriedly run to the side to pick up the pottery jar, and then speeded up to catch up with his brother, grabbed the edge of the pot with one hand, held the brother's arm with the other, and walked towards the direction where the river was.
"Crazy..."
After walking for about ten minutes, Zhang Ran heard a crisp sound of running water. At this time, they had left the area of farmland and came to a lush area of grass and trees.
Through the gap between the branches and leaves, Zhang Ran vaguely saw that a small stream seemed to be winding in the distance. The sound of flowing water he had just heard was coming from this small stream.
After walking through the grass, I walked forward dozens of meters. Sure enough, I saw a small river four or five meters wide in front of me. The water of this river was very clear. From a distance, it looked like a white ribbon lying among the green plants.
