Melon thief, don't run!

"Ah Xiao, why don't you come to me?"

In the past few days, Le Xiao has always had some strange dreams. She dreamed of a girl who was a head shorter than herself. The distance between her and the girl seemed to be blocked by a layer of veil. She wanted to see the girl's face clearly, so she stretched out her hand Going to lift the layer of veil, but didn't see anything. The girl called out this sentence, but her eyes were a little hot. Every time she met those eyes, Le Xiao felt a little familiar, as if she had seen them there before. .

And who is A Xiaohui that she called out? It just so happens that there is a word Xiao in her name, maybe she is calling herself. This guess flashed in her mind, and she refused to wake herself up. She thinks too much of herself. Who would call her a melon grower so affectionately?

Le Xiao is an ordinary melon farmer. Among the watermelon growers, she can be said to be the least experienced melon farmer, but she has the only advantage that other melon farmers cannot match. She is the youngest melon farmer in several nearby villages.Most of the young people in the village left the countryside and went to the city to work and develop. Most of the people left in the village were elderly and ignorant children, but she chose to come back here from the city.

The matter was a little long ago and seemed to happen yesterday, it was clearly engraved in Le Xiao's memory and never faded.

A few years ago, Le Xiao was still a senior high school student who was working hard for the college entrance examination. She was a good student with top grades and in the eyes of the teacher. She didn't know why her brain short-circuited at that time. When he went to the countryside, Le Xiao was not swayed by the persuasion of others, but became more determined to leave.

When she returned to her hometown, after telling the news of dropping out of school to grow melons, she was greeted with beatings and scolding instead of patient understanding and inquiries.Le's father sat on the sofa with his head down and didn't speak, smoking non-stop. The white-gray smoke slowly filled the room, and Le's mother hit Le Xiao irregularly with a broom.

When she was young, when Le's mother got angry and picked up the broom, Le Xiao grinned and ran far away with her short legs. Don't come back after you leave the door." After scolding, Mother Le thought that the ground hadn't been cleaned, so she picked up the broom on the ground and continued to clean.

This time, Le Xiao didn't run, she stood up straight and let the broom hit her body, this is what she should bear.

They only have one daughter, Le Xiao, which is rare in the village.Both parents are out-and-out farmers, because they are farmers, and they don't want their daughter to be the same. They hope that their daughter can go out, see the world, and have a bright future, so they send Le Xiao to the city. To receive a better education here, I didn't expect Le Xiao to come back at such a critical time.

Le's mother held up her broom and repeatedly asked, "Le Xiao, are you going back?"

"Mom, I'm not going back."

The broom stopped when it was about to touch Le Xiao's body, and Le's mother threw the broom in her hand on the concrete floor hard, and said to the silent father, "Look at your daughter, why are you so stubborn?" !"

"That's your daughter too."

Le's father is obviously much calmer than Le's mother.

"Are you two trying to piss me off?"

Le Xiao knelt down on his knees and looked at his parents, "Mom, Dad, I'm sorry, I know it's self-willed to do so, and I didn't consider your feelings. You want me to stand out, but I don't want that kind of life. You can say I am worthless, I ask you to forgive my daughter, until you forgive me, I will always kneel here."

Le's father exhaled a puff of cigarette, stretched out his hand to extinguish the cigarette, threw the cigarette butt into the trash can, and pulled Le's mother into the room. Le Xiao was kneeling all the time. At first, his knee hurt a lot, but gradually he didn't feel the pain anymore.

It was very late, and Le's father was kicked out by Le's mother. Le's father looked at Le Xiao who was still kneeling in a daze, and sighed, "You really don't regret today's decision?"

Le Xiao raised his head and shook his head lightly.

"Well, get up and go to bed, I will have a good communication with your mother."

I don't know how Le's father communicated with Le's mother. Le's mother accepted this unchangeable fact, and only left Le Xiao a sentence: "When you are about to starve to death, remember to crawl home and eat."

After her parents had no objections, with the help of her parents, Le Xiao went to work for experienced melon farmers. After getting familiar with the melon farming routine, she took over the ten acres of farmland that her parents had planted, and started to do it herself, which has continued until today.

Recently, instead of wandering around in his own melon field, Le Xiao handed over the original ten-acre melon field to the hired melon farmer, but stayed in the newly contracted one-acre melon field.

After dozens of days of hard work by Le Xiao, this acre of melon fields is approaching the harvest time. She is even more nervous than the first harvest. Expectations cannot be the same.

However, since she took over this melon field and started planting watermelons, it has been a bit weird. When she walks back and forth in the melon field alone, she will feel that someone is watching her, and as the watermelon matures, she will hear a bit of swallowing. the sound of.

Le Xiao felt that maybe he was too exhausted during this period of time to have this illusion.She doesn't quite believe that there are such things as gods and ghosts in the world, otherwise she would not have contracted this strange land in the eyes of everyone.

They said it was a strange land, but they were playing tricks on it, but thanks to the strange word, the price was much cheaper than other melon lands.Le Xiao chose this land partly because it was cheap.But this place is not good, it is a bit far away from her original melon field, so Le Xiao built a small wooden house at the top of this melon field, so that it is convenient to guard the melon field.

On this day, Le Xiao checked the situation of the melon fields and planned to pick them in two days.

At night, Le Xiao entered the cabin with a flashlight, covered his mouth with his right hand and yawned, lying on the bed without taking off his clothes.

Turning off the flashlight, the only light in the room disappeared, and it was pitch black. Le Xiao closed his eyes to rest.

The melon field was suddenly different from the past, there was a sound of walking, Le Xiao suddenly opened her eyes, she heard the sound, guessed it might be a small animal like a kitten, but just in case, she had to get up and have a look .

On the day when the harvest is about to be harvested, she can't let the melons in the field have an accident. This harvest is of great significance to Le Xiao, and she doesn't allow anyone to destroy it all.

Le Xiao held the flashlight in his left hand, and picked up the wooden stick that was always in the house with his right hand, and the equipment was completed.

Open the door, the melon field under the starry sky is much brighter than inside the house.

Le Xiao patrolled the melon field with light hands and feet, and looked at the squatting figure not far away with his head down, and there was indeed something wrong.

Normally, she would consider forgiving this melon thief, but this time she stole melons from this field. No matter what the reason was, she would never forgive him lightly.

Le Xiao waved the wooden stick in his hand.

When you catch this melon thief, you must make her look good!

This was also the first time Le Xiao met a melon thief, and he had no experience in catching thieves.

Le Xiao turned on the flashlight directly, and the beige beam pointed straight at the direction of the figure.Under the light, the melon thief turned his back to her, wearing gray linen clothes with a few patches and holes, and his hair was disheveled and messy.

The dress of the melon thief was very strange, and her behavior was even more strange. She was discovered by Le Xiao, and she was still tinkering with the watermelon. The watermelon in her hand was intact.

"Hey, what are you doing?"

Le Xiao approached her slowly, with a somewhat aggressive tone.

The melon thief finally reacted, stopped what he was doing, raised his head to meet Le Xiao's eyes, and when Le Xiao froze for a moment, he got up and ran away.

Sure enough, she was a melon thief, guilty, if she hadn't done anything wrong, why would she run away.

Le Xiao threw down his stick and went after the melon thief, yelling not to run, but the melon thief seemed to be very obedient and ran a little slower.Le Xiao was not as lucky as the melon thief, because his eyes were always on the melon thief, and he didn't pay attention to the watermelon vines under his feet. When he was about to catch up, he lost all his previous efforts, tripped over the watermelon vines, and threw himself into the melon field.

The melon thief noticed something was wrong, and didn't hear Le Xiao's voice again. He stopped, turned around, and tilted his head to look at Le Xiao.

She didn't continue to escape, but walked towards Le Xiao, getting closer and closer to Le Xiao.

Le Xiao sat directly in the melon field, rolled up her trouser legs, checked the condition of her knees, saw some blue marks, and rubbed them with her hands, but did not notice that the melon thief was squatting in front of her.

The melon thief stretched out his fingers and lightly touched the blue knee, "Are you injured?"

Le Xiao noticed her. This was the melon thief. Her face was a little dusty. She looked like an underage girl. She was from a certain family in the village. She had an unfamiliar face. Le Xiao had never seen her before. She was so young. Why don't you learn well at your age?

"Don't poke, I'm fine."

"It's all blue, you lied to me."

The melon thief lowered his head and blew on the blue part. The hot air hit his knees. Le Xiao felt a little itchy. He pushed her away with one hand, and got up to avoid the dust on his body.

The melon thief couldn't stabilize himself, and sat down on the melon field, rubbing the hem of his clothes with his hands, "Why are you pushing me? I'm just blowing it off for you..."
