On the day of June, when everyone was busy checking the results of the college entrance examination, Zhao Jinbao calmly picked up his farm tools and walked towards his house's farmland. It wasn't that he didn't want to check, but even if he did, it wouldn't be of any use because his family no longer had any money for him to read.
In the month before the College Entrance Test, because his father Zhao Dazhu had accidentally dropped from a high point at the construction site, his entire body had fractured. Although his life was saved, all of his family's savings were gone, and the only thing left for Zhao Jinbao was a small piece of farmland. Her mother, Sun Cuifaang, was also not very well. She could not do too much farm work and could only stay at home to take care of Zhao Dazhu.
Although he did not want to, the situation was forced and Zhao Jinbao had no choice but to farm.
As for Zhao Jinbao's family, they were allocated to the small hill at the village entrance. Compared to the flat land, the small hill could only grow some dry crops, and water could only be used to water the crops, and the quality of the land was not very good either. As for the same amount of land, the harvest would definitely be a little lower than the average family's, but there was no helping it, this was the village committee's land, if you did not want to plant it, you could not have it, but you would not receive any other compensation, so Zhao Dazhu closed his eyes and accepted the dry crops.
When they arrived at the farmland, Zhao Jinbao realized that after a few days of continuously high temperatures, the bracts were seriously lacking water, and the corn seedlings that were knee-deep were already beginning to roll up their leaves. If he didn't water them, he would probably die from drought.
When he was planting the corn, he had spent several hundred yuan to buy the seeds. He had pointed to a harvest. Now that this kind of situation had occurred, it was clearly not a good omen.
He raised his head and looked at the sky. The sun was shining brightly and the ground was smoking. It would definitely not rain in two or three days, but the seedlings could not wait that long.
Therefore, Zhao Jinbao planned to wait for the night to cool down before he went down the mountain and poured water over them. This was because the temperature at noon was too high. When the corn seedlings were exposed to the sun, they would be exposed to cold water and easily explode. Secondly, the weather was very hot.
After circling the farmland once, Zhao Jinbao did not immediately return home. Instead, he continued to walk up the mountain, on this hill, there was only one person from his family.
Just like that, Zhao Jinbao climbed all the way to the top of the mountain before he stopped, panting from exhaustion.
There was wind at the top of the mountain and Zhao Jinbao was sweating profusely. He found a relatively flat area on the cliff and sat down to rest, preparing to wait for the cool down before descending the mountain.
The cold wind blew against his face, making Zhao Jinbao feel comfortable, the gloomy feeling in his heart gradually disappeared. Looking at the village underneath his feet, Zhao Jinbao smiled helplessly, he was still unable to get out of this place. The university life that he had yearned for for for for three years in his heart had also become a mirage.
Just as Zhao Jinbao was in a daze, a tiny suction force came from the bottom of the mountain. Soon after, the suction force became stronger and stronger, and by the time Zhao Jinbao noticed that something was amiss, he had already rolled down the cliff.
Zhao Jinbao rolled down the cliff that was close to twenty meters tall. Fortunately, there were not many stone walls that rose along the way, otherwise, Zhao Jinbao would really be in trouble this time.
But even so, when Zhao Jinbao rolled to the bottom of the mountain, he was already covered in blood and his breathing was weak.
After struggling to move on the ground, Zhao Jinbao felt as if all the bones in his body were shattered. With his last bit of consciousness, he knew that he had to crawl out and let people who passed by see him, or else he really might die here.
And just as Zhao Jinbao was about to turn around and crawl out, a light suddenly flashed about two to three meters away from him. Zhao Jinbao felt his eyes shake a little, and then, subconsciously, he looked towards the light.
As far as he could see, a small golden stone was emitting light. With just a single glance, Zhao Jinbao's heart felt like it had been struck by a hammer, giving him an indescribable feeling.
He didn't know what it was, but subconsciously, Zhao Jinbao felt that it could save his life, so he wasn't in a rush to climb onto the main road. Instead, he turned around and crawled towards the golden stone.
As Zhao Jinbao got closer, the radiance of the golden stone increased greatly, and the dark forest was instantly illuminated. Just as Zhao Jinbao grabbed onto the stone, all of the light auroras converged onto his palm, and immediately afterwards, Zhao Jinbao felt countless electric currents being transmitted from his palm into his body. His entire body started to tremble non-stop.
Faintly, Zhao Jinbao felt that he was within a sea of gold. The surface of the sea was calm and windless, but thunder rumbled in the sky. He wanted to do something, but found himself unable to do anything. He seemed to be in a dreamy state.
This situation continued for ten minutes before gradually stopping. Zhao Jinbao opened his eyes with a face full of disbelief, because he was already able to stand up, and there wasn't even a single trace of pain. He looked at the stone in his hand in shock. His heart had long since become speechless.
While he was still in shock, the golden stone suddenly fused into his palm. By the time Zhao Jinbao regained his senses, the golden stone had already completely merged with his palm.
Zhao Jinbao was shocked, and immediately swung his arm, wanting to throw this thing out. Although this unknown object had completely healed his wounds in an instant, it could not prove that it was a good thing.
In the end, Zhao Jinbao could only give up. In truth, he was most afraid that this was a parasite that would run into his body to suck his blood or something like that, but there were people in the village who had been poisoned by the blood worms. A healthy person would have died in a few months, and at the time of his death, his entire body was as thin as a firewood.
Zhao Jinbao did not wish for himself to be like this person, otherwise, he would rather fall down from the mountain and die.
Looking at his bloodied body, Zhao Jinbao walked around the irrigation ditch at the bottom of the mountain, preparing to find a shallow place to wash. In the end, just a few minutes after he jumped in, there were people walking over from the roadside, and at this time, he had already taken off his clothes in the water.
"This damn weather, it's so hot!" The person complained impatiently.
Zhao Jinbao who was at the bottom of the water shivered. Hearing the voice, he seemed to be a girl, thus he dived into the water again, so as to not be discovered.
When the person walked to the place where Zhao Jinbao was going into the water, he suddenly stopped, looked around, and frowned, as if he had something to discuss.
Zhao Jinbao who was at the bottom of the water was terrified, he thought that someone had discovered him, and stared at the shore with his eyes wide open. As the person turned around, Zhao Jinbao could clearly see who he was.
This person was from the village, living at the village entrance. Everyone called her Widow Lee, and the man from her family died early, as if by accident, leaving behind a child, a girl, who was probably in middle school now, probably graduating soon.
Zhao Jinbao didn't really understand Widow Lee, the only thing he felt was that this person was very good-looking. In the village, many single men thought of her and even the people in the neighboring village all told her that she was a matchmaker, but she rejected them all.
The Widow Lee's farmland, at the bottom of the hill, was also considered as not being filled with water. After all, there wasn't a man in the house, so some things were relatively weaker than others. It had been very hot these few days and the ground was dry. She probably wanted to check out the irrigation ditch and see if it was good for her to water the land.
Looking at the Widow Lee who was standing motionlessly on the shore, Zhao Jinbao kept thinking of countermeasures in his heart. What if he was discovered, would Widow Lee think that he was trying to take liberties with her?
Just as Zhao Jinbao was struggling to think of a countermeasure, a scene that would cause blood to spurt out appeared. Widow Lee stood on the shore, untied her pants, and muttered to herself: "It's not good to be a woman, you have to sneakily do it even when you want to.
Zhao Jinbao looked at the movements of the Widow Lee on the shore, and only felt a wave of blood rush to her head. The most frightening thing was that the Widow Lee was facing a pond, and even if Zhao Jinbao was in the water, he could still see it clearly.
Immediately, Zhao Jinbao felt himself reacting.
Although Zhao Jinbao prayed in his heart for Widow Lee to leave, he still couldn't help but stare at the Widow Lee. This should be the first time Zhao Jinbao had seen something like this.
He had originally thought that Widow Lee would leave after sshe had finished undoing her hands, but he did not expect that after things were over, Widow Lee would stand up and look around again. After confirming that there was no one around, he took off his shirt, took off the towel on his shoulder, and went into the water.
He finally understood why all the single men in the village wanted the Widow Lee. Not only did the other party have a good face and a good figure, under the sunlight, the Widow Lee's skin was very white and tender. It was like tofu, and with a touch, it would even tremble.
Zhao Jinbao quietly watched from the bottom of the water. While appreciating them, he also carried a bit of desire with him as he started to understand the thoughts of those men. Right now, he was also attracted by the charm of the Widow Lee.
Looking at him in such a daze, Zhao Jinbao neglected one thing. He had already been hiding underwater for a long time, but he didn't feel any discomfort. Within his body that he could not see, the golden pebbles circulated with brilliance, continuously sending golden-colored air to his internal organs.
