"Just don't move. If you move, you'll get into trouble."

I didn’t know how to explain it, so I could only speak excitedly with my face turning red.

"Ha, ha, ha!" Those people all burst into laughter when they saw me like this.

"Little girl, go home and don't interfere in adults' affairs." One of them said to me.

"Feng'er, this is none of your business, let's go back!"

Seeing this situation, Wang Erming pulled the corner of my clothes.

"Young man, this is your sister, take her back quickly and stop making trouble here."

Another person said to Wang Erming.

"Okay, okay, uncle, I'll take her away right away."

Wang Erming felt embarrassed and quickly pulled me back.

He was very strong and I had no chance to resist. I was dragged away by him.

"Brother Erming, let me go. That is the Dragon Stone. We really can't move it."

I was so angry that I yelled at Wang Ming.

"I know, I know. Let's go back first and talk about it." He said while pulling me.

Okay, I've also lost my temper because of him, and I think just yelling like that won't have much of an effect.

Besides, I don’t know what bad things will happen if I move the dragon stone.

"Let me go and let me go."

I angrily shook off Wang Erming's hand, and he let me go. I walked home in silence, head down and angrily.

"Feng'er, what happened to you just now? Why are you so angry? Why didn't you let them move the stone?"

Wang Erming followed me closely, asking questions non-stop as if he had a million questions.

But I was in a very irritable mood, as if there was a lot of nameless anger in my heart, ready to burst out at any time, and I forced myself to ignore him.

"Feng'er, what happened to you?"

Wang Erming continued to ask questions relentlessly.

"Brother Erming, please stop asking. I'm so fed up. That stone just can't be moved. I don't know how to explain it to you now. Anyway, if it is moved, there will be real trouble."

I couldn't bear it anymore and yelled at Wang Erming.

Wang Erming was startled by my shouting, and followed me silently without saying anything.

When I got home, my throat was about to smoke, so I quickly went to the kitchen, scooped a bucket of water, and drank it down in one gulp.

Seeing Wang Erming looking at me stupidly, I felt a little embarrassed after calming down. I hurried to the kitchen, got another bowl, scooped a bowl of water for him and handed it to him.

"Brother Erming, I was a little anxious just now, it was not intentional."

He took the water, drank it in big gulps, and spoke again.

"It's okay, Feng'er, why were you so excited just now? What was the reason?"

Alas! Curious baby, I know he won’t give up so easily, he won’t stop until he gets the answer.

"Brother Erming, this is my feeling. I always feel that if that stone moves, something bad will happen. I don't understand why."

I explained helplessly.

"What bad thing is going to happen?"

Before Wang Erming could speak, grandma walked in from the backyard.

"Grandma, the people in the town drained the black waters, revealing a large black stone in the shape of a dragon head. I always feel that something bad will happen if we move that stone, but I don't know what it is."

I told my grandma again.

"Then forget about it. Everything has its cause and effect. Let nature take its course. We'll go check it out later."

"By the way, Erming, you two haven't had lunch yet, right? The food is on the table, you two can eat first, and we can talk about other things later."

Grandma heard Wang Erming's stomach rumbling.

"Grandma Xu, I won't be polite then."

Wang Erming smiled shyly at my grandmother and then went to the kitchen to get dishes and chopsticks. He was quite familiar with my home.

I walked into the room and looked at the clock. No wonder Wang Erming's stomach was growling, it was already past 2 o'clock in the afternoon.

The weather was too hot and I felt an inexplicable uneasiness in my heart, so I ate only a little bit of porridge and left the table. Wang Erming even rushed to wash the dishes with my grandmother after he finished eating.

After resting for a while, at around 4 o'clock, I couldn't wait to pull my grandma to go to the construction site again.

Wang Erming was also free and had been staying at my house. When he saw me leaving, he quickly got up and followed me. My grandmother had no choice but to turn around and get a straw hat and walk with us.

When we were almost at the construction site, grandma first took us to the place where our village was getting soil for building the embankment. Here, the people who were loading soil into the baskets were all women.

They had loaded a number of baskets and were waiting for the men to pick them up; some of them gathered together to chat.

"Have you heard? The daughter-in-law of our village women's director has lost her baby in her womb again."

"Oh my god, what kind of sin is this? I heard this is the third one."

"That's right, she has done too many evil things, this is retribution."

There was also an older woman who made a "Pooh" sound, rolled her eyes and spoke angrily.

"She deserves it. Who told her to chase pregnant women around the village all day and force them to have induced abortions? Look at my eldest daughter-in-law. Her first two children were daughters, but she wanted a son. She finally got pregnant, but she's hiding from these damn people."

"The baby was already over 6 months old. Some time ago, they came to our home at night and forcibly took her away. What a sin! The baby was already fully formed, but they still aborted it."

"That's right, that's right. In the past two years, many women in the village who were pregnant with their second child were forced to have abortions by them."

Another person next to him echoed.

I didn't take it seriously when I heard these people chatting. As a junior high school student, these were not things I cared about.

"Sister Zhao, is your door open? I'll go up and get you some water."

Grandma asked the woman who was just angry.

"Aunt Xu, you are here. The car is open. The car is open. Sorry to bother you."

When she saw us coming, she quickly put away her angry expression.

"Aunt Xu, you are so kind. The village chief didn't ask you to come to work, but you still came to help us get water. You are such a kind person."

Someone praised grandma.

"It's okay. I'm just doing something small when I'm free. You all have worked hard!"

Grandma answered as she took Wang Erming and me to the house closest to the river.

"Aunt Xu, your Feng'er is getting more and more beautiful."

A sister-in-law in a floral shirt looked at me and smiled.

I turned and smiled at her.

"You're already 14 years old." Grandma also laughed.

When we arrived at the house, we found that it was not locked. In that era, people in rural areas were very simple and honest. Basically, they didn't lock the door during the day, and no one would steal things.

It’s just that occasionally there are a few lazy people who will steal some vegetables from other people’s vegetable gardens. In fact, it’s not really stealing. If someone sees them, they just say hello and the owner won’t say anything.

Most of the vegetables grown are not enough for the family to eat, and the excess is fed to pigs.

Next to her family's well, there were two plastic buckets and a kettle. Wang Erming was very strong and filled all the containers in a short time. Wang Erming and grandma carried two buckets respectively, and I carried the kettle and walked towards the construction site again.

When I arrived at the construction site, I gave the kettles to the women who were working on the site. Then I went back to the construction site and saw people sweating profusely and working hard.
