problem child adventure

After the sound came, I could clearly see the trembling of Huang Xiaogui's body with the help of the dim moonlight.Immediately, he nervously took my hand and said nervously: "It's Xiaomei's father! Brother, run behind my back, I will be number one!"

"Abba!" Then a small, childish voice came from behind, and I saw a black shadow passing in front of me and Huang Xiaogui, and the middle-aged man's voice resounded in front: "Little Tian, Let's go first! Boys, you will lose."

Huang Xiaogui desperately climbed onto me, I ignored him, looked at the front, there was a tall and strong man with a child sitting on his shoulders, she turned her head because it was dark and I couldn’t see her face, only heard her smirking laughter.

Huang Tiantian lost, No.1 is the little girl sitting on her father's shoulder, she is the little beauty that Huang Tiantian talked about during the day.And Huang Tiantian, the brat, has been greedily trying to use my legs to help him win the championship, but I am not happy to cause him to try hard to climb up on my back, and while I was mercilessly leaving him behind, his little friends also arrived at their destination one after another. .

Xiaomei is a very gentle and shy little girl, she just smiled shyly when she won No.1, but Huang Tiantian is really brazen, lying on the ground playing a rascal and saying it’s all because of me, there is no referee, adults can’t stand him Therefore, the generous Xiaomei's father announced that the competition was cancelled, and the atmosphere by the river finally became lively instead of noisy.

Huang Xiaomei's father is very generous, and he is also a man who likes to joke. He laughed and threw Huang Tiantian into the water, and then jumped into the small river with big splashes. Standing by the river, I was very happy. Very "lucky", I tasted the pure natural and pollution-free river water in the countryside for the first time, especially the unlucky ear...

It was also at that time that my ears got water, and my life began to change.

That night, I didn't go down the river to experience the natural river water, but I found several reasons to leave the river. I really couldn't stand the whole body and these... I was also "honoured" to go back to the village with the little goddess Huang Tiantian .Huang Xiaomei only came to Huangchonghe for the competition among her friends. As a girl, she had to leave as soon as her friends arrived.She is a shy girl who doesn't like to talk. I am not shy but I am not talkative by nature, so the two sullen gods were silent all the way and soon returned to grandma's house.

After taking a shower, I stopped doing other things. I wanted to go to the bedroom and go to sleep. When I opened the door, I saw my aunt burning dried wormwood for me. After the day, my good feelings for my aunt disappeared, and I rushed to her perfunctorily. Xiaoxiao sat on the bed and wiped her hair with a towel.She is also very acquainted and I don’t have the heart to chat, so I smiled and put down the plate of burning wormwood and left. I lay down and suddenly felt a little itchy in my ears. I wiped the pierced ears with a half-dry towel, and soon the itching It disappeared, and I fell asleep without paying attention.

"Giggle..." I heard giggles in my sleepy ears, I thought it was a dream, turned over and fell asleep, and it was dawn.

The second day was much quieter than the previous day, the reason was that Huang Xiaogui got into trouble with me because of what happened yesterday...

I didn't care about it but secretly liked it for a while. Thanks to the kid, I finished writing the test questions early and prepared to open my notebook to read some news.Suddenly there was some pain in the ear, very slight.I thought it might be because there was a lot of earwax, so I asked my aunt who was making dinner for an ear rake, and when I dug out the sticky yellow things, my aunt let out an ahh, and said anxiously: "Minger, did your ears get into the river yesterday?"

I thought about it for a while and said it seemed to be the case, so I asked her if the river water had something to do with earwax?She hummed, and with an anxious expression, she called Huang Tiantian and said to him: "Hurry up and take your brother to Xiaomei's house to fetch water, you are so deaf!"

"What's wrong with my ears, Xiaomei's family has gone to see relatives today, and uncle is not at home." Huang Xiaogui asked with his eight-character eyebrows not knowing the ins and outs.

I am also surprised, what is the disease that hurts the bottom of the ear, so I asked: "What is the problem with the bottom of the ear? Hanging water is hanging drops, right? Xiaomei's father can treat it?"

My aunt said that there is only one doctor in Huangchong Village, a private one named Huang Tao and my uncle is a grandfather's brother and Huang Xiaomei's father.If dirty water enters the ear, it will become inflamed. People in the family call this disease the bottom of the ear.

My aunt also said that it would be very painful if not treated, and sighed helplessly: "Wait, take some anti-inflammatory drugs to relieve the pain, and wait for him to come home to drink water." Did my aunt make a big deal out of a molehill? It didn’t hurt my ears. It was because I was still very young and wondered if my aunt really thought of me as a delicate little boy.Another day passed, and Huang Xiaomei's family hadn't come back yet. My ears went from slight pain to throbbing pain, and the yellow sticky stuff mixed with blood became thicker.I swallowed three plastic capsules before going to bed at night, but it didn't work.Only then did I understand why my aunt was so anxious.

I endured the pain in my ear canal and tried to sleep.But the pain inside the ear was very intense. I closed my eyes tightly to feel the pain. It was not as direct as a general skin trauma.It's not that I'm a masochist. I feel a sense of relief after the skin trauma is over, but I'm quite distressed about the pain in the ear, and I don't feel anything else at all.

I bit my lips tightly, I don't know how hard I used, and I can't feel the pain in my mouth. Tears have already wet my eyelashes unconsciously.I can't stand it!The little finger went straight into the right ear, digging, frantically trying to dig out the cochlea!

"Giggle giggling..." The strange laughter in the dream came again, and the clear tone lingered in my ears, but it was not real because I couldn't tell the source of the sound.

The chirping of insects had long since stopped, and there was no other movement of life in the house. I wondered who it was, but the only answer I got was that strange and unreal giggle.

There was a burst of itching in the ear canal, and the fingers reflexively dug, and the little finger had just penetrated the ear hole, and the itching became more severe.I said before that I have a bad temper. If others are tough on me, I will definitely not be soft. And if people like me encounter something that goes wrong, even if it is my own disease, I will not accept it.The anger made me sit up from the bed in one breath, the quilt under the bed was tortured by myself like a cabbage leaf, my teeth were tightly biting my lips, and my face was very ferocious.Stretching out his hand to put the ear rake on the bedside table, enduring the itching and pain, and not caring about the fragility of the ear, the ear rake dug uninhibitedly in the narrow ear canal.

The pain was continuously transmitted to the brain, and the nerves seemed to be weakened because of it. They were useless, and my hands were digging crazily. Later, when I thought about it, I felt that I was a robot that worked in a heartless cycle—an ear-picking robot.The ear is a very fragile organ. It is not recommended to pick and dig in medicine. Uncontrolled digging with a large team for a long time caused artificial damage to my ear canal and made it even more painful!But it also worked, the itching disappeared, and the giggling disappeared without knowing when.

I stopped and took out the ear rake and looked at it in front of my eyes. There was not much yellow-red earwax, and there was a new strange thing, a sticky gray ball with vague bloodshots hanging on it. It was a thick lump, very nausea.

Looking at the thing that was taken out of my ear, I suddenly felt a tizzy in my stomach, and I was even more angry, and angrily smashed the ear rake against the corner, causing the injury in my ear to be hurt, and suddenly it was a heart-pounding pain , Anger has already controlled me, I raised my fist and wanted to hit my ear.

"Giggle... Huang-haired Xiaosheng, you really don't care about your body. Are you worthy of your biological mother?" A voice with the same tone as Guaixiao was in my ear when I was about to punch my fist, and then It was a funny laugh.
