At the end of the scorching summer, the heat wave is rolling, as if invisible flames are raging on the body, leaving people with nowhere to hide.

Yuan Tong'er covered the sun with one hand, grabbed a passing man with the other, and asked: "Brother. Excuse me, which direction is Nanliang City going?"

The man who was pulled by her looked her up and down first. When he saw that she was a boy with a crew cut, he said casually: "Go south after leaving the city. If you see anyone again, keep asking!"

After saying that, he pulled his sleeve out of Yuan Tong'er's hand. Although he was a little disdainful, he still added another sentence.

"It's so far away, so ask more about it!"

Yuan Tong'er thanked him, and after noticing the man's reaction, he realized that he had become dirty.

After days of traveling, the travel expenses are no longer enough. In order to save money, she didn't even stay in an inn in recent days. She slept wherever she could and tried to spend her money wisely.

But in a disaster year, things are more valuable than money, so even if you live frugally, you still spend them all.

There is no decent place to live, and you can't even take a shower. She smelled herself and found that it smelled bad, so she thought about leaving the city gate and finding a deserted ditch to wash herself.

After leaving the South City Gate and walking for several more miles, I finally saw a long and winding river behind a forest.

The long river stretches for several miles, pouring from the mountains, forming beautiful waterfalls in front of Yuantong'er's eyes. The river water is clear and transparent, flowing in the mountains, like a bright mirror, reflecting the beauty of green trees and blue sky.

Yuan Tong'er was overjoyed for a moment. He looked around and saw that no one was passing by, so he relaxed and untied his clothes.

The river water is clear and cool, making you feel comfortable and pleasant inside. It seems to sweep away the heat and dirt in the body, making people rejuvenated, relaxed and happy, as if they are in a fairyland.

Yuan Tong'er was like a fish swimming in the water, all the fatigue and sadness of so many days were left behind.

Suddenly, a splash of water sounded from not far away, and a figure suddenly emerged from the water on the other side of the water plants.

Yuan Tong'er was immediately shocked and cried out in a hurry.

"what--!!"

The figure paused, then hurriedly climbed up the water and grass with hands and feet. As he climbed, he said: "Yes, yes, yes... I'm sorry! I, I, I, I... didn't mean it!"

He stammered and landed on the shore, but did not walk away immediately. He hid behind the grass and held up the grass carp in his hand to Yuan Tong'er.

"Look, I'm catching fish! I'm not looking at you!"

The childish voice had the unique drake voice of a young man. As soon as he heard the voice, Yuan Tong'er knew that this was a little boy whose voice had just begun to change, and he felt much at ease in his heart.

"Got it! Let's go!"

Although she knew he shouldn't be blamed, Yuan Tong'er's originally good mood was suddenly disturbed, and she really couldn't be angry anymore.

The young man paused, said "Oh" obediently, and left.

Yuan Tong'er had no intention of swimming anymore. After a quick cleaning, he went ashore.

The experience just now made her a little nervous, and she always wondered if there was anyone around, so she tiptoed and tried to leave quickly.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she took two steps, a black shadow suddenly came out, and the original boy stopped her.

Yuan Tong'er immediately became alert and looked at the young man on guard.

"What do you want to do?!"

Seeing her anger, the young man thought she was still angry, so he gritted his teeth and said, "I...I am responsible for you!"

Yuan Tong'er's eyebrows knitted together instantly, with a look of disbelief on her face. She looked the boy up and down.

She is tall and thin, but has not yet grown into an adult. Her features are delicate and childlike, and she even has a little baby fat on her round face. All in all, she still looks cute.

In addition, he had a harsh drake voice when he opened his mouth. Yuan Tong'er estimated that he was only twelve or thirteen years old.

Seeing the seriousness on the young man's face, Yuan Tong'er didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said very patiently: "Sister already knows that you didn't mean it, and I don't blame you! So we... will never see each other again!"

After she said that, she walked around the young man and left.

Unexpectedly, the young man caught up with her in two steps and stopped her again.

"No! My mother said that a woman's chastity is as great as the sky. I saw you bathing, so I have to be responsible for you!"

"Did you see it?!"

Yuan Tong'er said in shock and anger.

The boy was so frightened that he immediately lost his momentum and shook his head repeatedly, "No, no! I just saw a long hair from a distance...I really didn't see anything else!"

Yuan Tong'er then calmed down his anger and said: "Since I didn't see anything, you don't need to be responsible."

The young man was still unwilling.

"No! Even if I didn't see clearly, I still saw you taking a shower...How can a man do such an irresponsible thing? I must be responsible!"

Yuan Tong'er was speechless.

"You brat, you want to get a wife for nothing, right?! I said no, no! If you follow me again, be careful to beat you!"

She followed suit and raised her fist, pretending to hit him.

The young man was startled. After thinking for a moment, he closed his eyes and leaned closer to her fist.

"If you want to fight, then fight! My father said that hitting a wife is not a beating, that's called love!"

Yuan Tong'er was completely convinced and helplessly just wanted to look up to the sky and scream.

"Why do your parents teach you everything? How old are you?"

The boy answered: "Twelve."

Yuan Tong'er chuckled, "I didn't ask you!"

There was a clear innocence in this boy's eyes, and he didn't look like the kind of person who deliberately took advantage of the opportunity. Besides, he was really young, so Yuan Tong'er had no choice but to let down his guard.

Seeing that the young man seemed determined to fight with her to the end, Yuan Tong'er found a clean place to sit down and simply became patient.

"Look! You're only twelve, it's still too early to marry a wife. Besides, I'm nineteen or twenty! I'm so much older than you, don't you suffer?"

She patted the boy on the shoulder and continued: "It is a very good character to know that you have to be responsible, but sometimes you don't have to be too arrogant! I don't even need you to be responsible. You are still rushing to take responsibility. You are not looking for trouble for yourself. ?

Listen to your sister and go home quickly! ah. "

She coaxed the boy like a child, thinking that her sincere words would influence him, but she didn't expect that the boy would burst into tears.

"...Why are you still crying?"

Yuan Tong'er said in surprise.

For those who didn’t know, I thought she was watching him take a shower!

The young man sobbed: "I have no family... My father died to save my mother, and my mother is gone... ugh... no one has spoken to me like this for a long time..."

While he was crying, he was about to crawl into Yuan Tong'er's arms.

Although he still looks like a child, his figure is already a bit bigger than Yuan Tong'er. Yuan Tong'er quickly poked him away with a finger in disgust.

"Just talk, if you don't want to do anything!"

The young man was sobbing, his mouth curled up and down, but he still didn't give up.

"Sister is a good person. She will never bully me in the future. My parents will know better and will feel at ease!"
