After crossing, I was forced to hold on to my thighs and build a kingdom

"Fudan...Brother?" he called out tentatively.

"Hey, that's what I'll call you from now on." Liu Fudan pointed at the long bamboo pole and got straight to the point. "Zhao'er, it's so cold, what are you going to do with it?"

Zhao'er pursed his lips and a hesitant expression appeared on his face.

"What? Can't you tell me what's going on?" Seeing Zhao'er's hesitation, Liu Fudan's curiosity was piqued. "I'm going to treat you like my own brother from now on. You can't hide anything from me!"

"Brother Fudan, Zhao'er didn't hide anything from you. A few days ago, Zhao'er found a big bird's nest in the small woods to the west. He also saw the big bird feeding the little bird. Zhao'er was so bored, so he wanted to catch the little bird to keep him company."

"Are you serious? Come on, Brother Fudan will go catch it with you!"

When Liu Fudan heard about the little bird, his eyes widened a little. For a bored kid, poking a bird's nest is a game he never gets tired of! After saying that, he dragged Zhao'er forward.

"Hey, Brother Fudan, Zhao'er, wait for me, I'll go with you." Wang Ernao, who was standing next to him, didn't care about his stomachache, he got up and chased after him.

Seeing that they were almost at the edge of the woods, Zhao'er pretended to be exhausted and fell behind by a few steps. At first, Fudan would look back from time to time to wait for him, but later he got tired of his slowness and just took Wang Ernao with him and ran forward, leaving Zhao'er alone to walk slowly behind.

"Zhao'er, where is the bird's nest?" Liu Fudan stood at the entrance of the woods and turned around and shouted to Zhao'er.

Zhao Er pointed casually toward the front of the trap and said, "Keep going in the direction you're going."

"Brother Fudan, don't worry about Zhao'er. He's so slow. Let's go over and take a look first." Wang Ernao stopped Fudan from waiting for Zhao'er with an impatient look on his face. He couldn't wait to rob the bird's nest.

"Yeah, no need to wait for me, you guys go first!" Zhao'er echoed Wang Ernao's words.

Liu Fudan hesitated for a moment, but the urgency of poking the bird's nest finally prevailed. He said, "Then Zhao'er, you hurry up too." Then he ran away with Wang Ernao, one in front and one behind.

Zhao'er watched them as he walked, silently calculating their positions. Less than a cup of tea later, he heard a "thump," followed by Wang Ernao's startled voice: "Brother Fudan, what's wrong with you?"

"Are you blind? Pull me up quickly!" Liu Fudan in the mud pit shouted angrily.

"I, I, I can't pull you! Brother Fudan."

"Idiot! You eat so much all day, but you haven't gained any strength. Can't you use some strength?"

There was another "plop" sound, and Wang Ernao, who was dragged into the pit, complained aggrievedly, "Brother Fudan, it's such a deep pit, how can we get out?" He looked down and his face suddenly changed, "Ugh! It's too dirty in here! Why is there cow dung?"

"Shut up! You useless thing! If you had more strength, both of us wouldn't have fallen in here!" Liu Fudan cursed in frustration.

The two men rolled around in the pit in panic, and the strange smell of cow dung mixed with mud rushed into their noses. Liu Fudan tried hard to climb up, but the yellow mud on this side was slippery and he couldn't grab it at all. If he jumped up, he couldn't jump that high. All his brute force was useless at this moment.

He couldn't do anything about it, let alone Wang Ernao, who was smaller and stronger than him. After the two of them struggled for a while, they finally thought of Zhao'er who was not far away.

"Zhao'er! Zhao'er!" The two of them spoke at the same time, shouting at the top of their lungs.

Zhao Er was secretly happy, but pretended to be surprised. "Brother Fudan, why did you all jump into such a deep pit?"

"Hey, stop talking! Zhao'er, come closer!" Liu Fudan was too lazy to explain how the two of them fell into this mud pit. He just wanted to grab Zhao'er, the last straw of life, and quickly climb out of this mud pit.

Zhao'er took a few steps forward and saw the two people covered in mud and manure. He smiled again in his heart. He looked at the two people in the pit from a distance, with a well-behaved look, "Brother Fudan, I can only stand here at most, otherwise I will fall in with them."

Liu Fudan looked at Zhao'er standing in the distance and coaxed him, "Zhao'er, don't you have a long bamboo pole? Take it and pull your brother out!"

"But I'm not strong enough to pull Brother Fudan!" Zhao'er looked hesitant.

"It's okay, try pulling it, maybe it will come out!" Liu Fudan insisted.

"Okay, then I'll try pulling it." Zhao'er lowered one end of the bamboo pole, and after Liu Fudan pulled that end, he tried to pull it hard twice, but as expected, he couldn't pull it.

While Liu Fudan was letting go, he thrust forward with force and hit Liu Fudan right in the chest.

Liu Fudan groaned in pain and cursed, "Zhao'er, are you blind?"

"Oh! Brother Fudan, I'm sorry, Zhao'er didn't mean it. Zhao'er just wanted to pull you." After saying that, he hurriedly swung the bamboo pole to the left, hitting Wang Ernao next to him on the head.

"Oh! My head!" This time it was Wang Ernao who screamed.

At this time, the two people in the pit were covering their chests, rubbing their heads, grimacing, and screaming, "Oh, oh!"

Zhao'er felt this was not enough, so he pretended to be concerned and asked, "Brother Fudan, why don't you two wait here first? I'll go get Aunt Sun to pull you up."

"Don't do that!" Liu Fudan waved his hands at Zhao'er. "Don't go call my mother! If my mother knew I was here, she would definitely not forgive me when she got home!"

"What should I do then? Otherwise, should I go to Wang Ernao's house to look for someone?"

This time it was Wang Ernao who refused: "No, no, no! My parents can't even know about this."

In the middle of winter, two young boys fell into a mud pit. Although they wouldn't kill anyone, it was disgusting.

They have always regarded themselves as the little bullies of the village. How could they tolerate being seen in such a miserable state by a third person, even if that person is their own parents?

Zhao Er pretended to be at his wit's end, frowning, "Is there any other way?"

The two people in the pit were speechless for a moment. This was too embarrassing, and it was too painful not to do it. Wang Ernao couldn't help but complain in the pit: "If I had known it would be like this, I wouldn't have come to poke that damn bird's nest!"

"Are you blaming me?" Liu Fudan, who had been holding back his anger for a long time, couldn't help himself. He raised his hand and slapped the person next to him. "I didn't ask you to come here when I came. It was you who shamelessly followed me. You're not the only one who fell in. I haven't even scolded you yet, so what are you scolding me for?"

"Brother Fudan, you can't keep hitting me like this. Although I recognize you as my brother, if you hit me like this again, I won't play with you anymore!" Wang Ernao protested angrily.

"Oh! Your true colors are finally revealed! You are the one who keeps trying to get close to me, you bastard, do you really think I want you to play with me?" Then there was another loud slap.

"Liu Fudan, you are going too far!" Wang Ernao was so angry that he punched Liu Fudan on the waist without caring about anything.

"Hey! Are you brave enough? You even dare to fight back! I'll beat you to death today!"

"Liu Fudan, you've been hitting me all the time. If I don't fight back, am I going to let you beat me to death?"

From the pit came the sounds of two people beating and scolding each other.

Zhao'er smiled brightly, hummed a tuneless nursery rhyme, and went home in a hurry.
