Chapter 324: The Animals by the River Speak

(4) The animals by the river spoke

On that day, my second brother and third sister and I went to the commune (township government) to play with Sister Xiaomi, whose father was the secretary of the commune.

On the way back, a small snake crawled over my instep, and I couldn't move at once, and I heard the little snake say: There is danger ahead, don't go over.

Although I can't move my body, my eyes can move and my mouth can speak. I said, "The little snake crawled over my feet and said don't cross the river, it's dangerous ahead."

The second brother followed my eyes and found a gecko, and he took the gecko's tail to me and said, "It's not a snake, it's a baby gecko."

But the gecko said to me, "That's right, the pile of rocks is going to collapse, don't go over."

After saying that, he broke his tail and fled.

The second brother asked: Did the gecko also speak to you? I repeated: That pile of stones is going to collapse, don't go over. Quickly call the third sister back.

The third sister, who had already walked to the bridge, came back and told us to hurry up, and my mother should be angry when it was late.

The third sister was obviously skeptical of what I couldn't move or say, and said, "Why do you always pretend to be a ghost like this? If you do this again, others will treat you as crazy!"

"No, I'll go back and tell my mother first, and you guys will come back quickly!" said the third sister and hurriedly left. I told my second brother to stop her.

The second brother came back and said, "I can't stop her, she won't touch those stones, she is scared when you hear you! I don't dare to go over there, I still go through the water, I know that there is a river over there that is very wide and shallow." ”

I said, "If your pants fall into the water, don't go for them." ”

The second brother was surprised: "How do you know that I want to take off my pants and drip on my head?"

"I don't know, it was the dragonfly who said it. In the future, you have to be careful, don't be in a hurry if something falls into the water, don't go fishing, you can't kill something worthless. ”

When the rocks on that hillside collapsed, I was able to move when I fell.

I didn't care about seeing where the second brother was, and I didn't care about the huge smoke rising from the stones, so I rushed to the outrigger bridge at once. I climbed on the bridge and prayed in my heart: The ancestors have blessed the third sister and have passed through it! When the shaking of the bridge stopped, I immediately crossed the bridge, shouting the name of the third sister while walking through the pile of rocks.

The third sister agreed, she lay on her stomach under the bridge pier, and told me that her legs were pressed.

I said I'll call someone right away, you must insist on not falling asleep!

I ran back and fainted. My head hurt a lot along the way, so I said that the third sister had a head injury and her leg was fine.

Many days later, my mother took me to see the huge stones, pointing to the place where the third sister was lying on her stomach, "Fortunately, a whole tree with support blocked the rolling stones, and they all bounced off the wood, but when they fell, they broke a hole." ”

After that, my mother took me there every evening to cry out to me.
