Chapter 8 Lightning Mark

Until the sound of Quan Ling falling into the basin and scolding sounded in her ears, Xu Zhi suddenly woke up from her messy dream! Xu Zhi tried hard to start, but his body became more sore than last night! Especially, Xu Zhi felt that his head hurt, as if he was split by an axe, and like a legendary hangover.

"The sun is already sunny and I'm not leaving yet, so I don't have to go into the city today!" Quan Ling, who was outside the house, heard the movement in the house and shouted immediately, but her tone was no longer as sharp as yesterday. It seemed that after a night, her anger disappeared a lot.

Xu Zhi opened his eyelids, which were covered with eye drops, and looked at the sun shining brightly. He was secretly yelling that it would take him nearly an hour to get from the village to the mountain. Even if he got on the bus, it would take an hour to get to the county town. If the villagers of Lueling Village wanted to get into the city, they would usually leave at five or six o'clock. It was not as long as it was nine or eight o'clock now. The last bus in the morning was nine or three o'clock. If he didn't leave, he really wouldn't have to go to the city today.

Xu Zhi gritted his teeth and got up from the bed, looked down at the wound on his body, and basically healed. He knew that his sister had applied it to him with the magic stone powder. So he quickly walked out of the house, got a basin of cold water and washed his face randomly. He was about to ask Xu Aiguo, but he saw Xu Aiguo holding a sickle in his right hand and holding a bamboo basket with his left hand. The bamboo basket was full of fresh and tight grass, which looked fresh and tight.

"Zhi, are you up?" Xu Aiguo looked at Xu Zhi and shouted, but he didn't expect Xu Zhi to answer. He walked straight to a corner of the yard and poured the weeds into the sheep pen. "Baoba..." Several sheep were yelling to eat grass. Xu Aiguo put the bamboo basket and sickle in the corner of the wall, picked up a large cup with paint falling off from the tank next to him, lifted the lid of the tank, scooped a cup of cold water, drank it, and then looked at Xu Zhiqi and said, "Why don't you sleep for a while?"

"Aren't you going to the city today?" Xu Zhi knew that his sister was tired, so he urged her after she finished drinking water, "Sister, why didn't you call me earlier?"

"Does your head still have a fever?" Xu Aiguo didn't mention anything else, but walked by, touched Xu Zhi's head with her hands, frowned, "Why is it still a little warm!"

"Low fever, it's okay!" Xu Zhi said disapprovingly, "Let's go quickly, it's too late to leave!"

"If you don't go today, go tomorrow!" Xu Aiguo smiled, "You were yesterday..."

"I'm not going today?" Although Quan Ling didn't say anything, she kept listening to her side. When she saw Xu Aiguo talking about tomorrow, she immediately cursed, "Are you going to die at home like this?"

"Mom..." Xu Aiguo was used to being scolded by Quan Ling, and didn't care much, and said, "Zhi had a high fever last night, but she has not subsided today..."

Before Xu Aiguo finished speaking, Quan Ling shouted: "He has had a fever since he was a child, and now he is so crazy that he is already confused. If he doesn't go to the city to take a look, he won't know how to go in the future!"

Faced with his mother's urging, Xu Aiguo hesitated a little, and Xu Zhi jumped up and said, "Let's go, sister, if I don't go, I don't know how I've been through today!"

After saying that, Xu Zhi said to Quanling again: "Mom, I will stay at my classmate's house tonight. I may not come back in the past few days. If there is a letter from the school today, I will ask my sister to bring it back. If there is no letter, please wait for my phone number!"

Quan Ling gave Xu Zhi a blank look, then turned around and walked into the room without answering the conversation.

"Let's go, sister..." Seeing that his mother ignored him, Xu Zhi urged Xu Aiguo again.

"Okay!" Xu Aiguo nodded and walked into his house. In just a moment, he took some bamboo baskets and the baskets were out. The bamboo baskets were not empty, and they contained many small animals that Xu Zhi had woven with bamboo strips and other objects these days. It was obviously prepared early in the morning!

Xu Zhi was about to take these bamboo baskets, and Quan Ling came out of the house, took some change in one hand and a bun in the other, and handed it to Xu Zhi and said, "Don't be embarrassed and conspicuous when you go to your classmates' home to buy something!"

Xu Zhi lived in classmate’s house for a day or two, so naturally he didn’t have to buy anything. Xu Zhi knew that this was the pocket money his mother gave him. He wanted to not want it, but when he saw Xu Aiguo put down the bamboo basket and ran to the house, he suddenly thought of something and hurriedly took the money, carefully put it in his pocket, and then ate the buns in big mouthfuls!

"Himmer..." Xu Zhi was eating too fast and started burping. Quan Ling couldn't help but curse, "You starved to death in your previous life, and you won't eat slowly..."

"Mom, help me get some water..." Xu Zhi seemed hungry and said while eating.

Quan Ling glared at him and walked towards the water tank.

At this time, Xu Aiguo took a box of one foot in her hand, looked at Quan Ling's back as she scooped water, and ran out of the yard.

When Quan Ling heard the voice and wanted to turn around, Xu Zhi had already walked over, blocked her gaze, and said, "Mom, give it to me!"

"Oh..." Quan Ling handed the cup to Xu Zhi, watched Xu Zhi eat the last bite of steamed bun, swallowed it, and said, "You can't get the admission notice, don't come back for me!"

"Well..." Xu Zhi responded casually, turned around to carry the bamboo basket. At this time, Xu Aiguo hurriedly walked in from outside, took it first, and said, "Go away quickly! The car is not going to catch up."

When he arrived at the door, Xu Aiguo said to Quanling again: "Mom, feed the sheep some water, I'll come back to the evening and then pick grass!"

"Oh..." Quan Ling was following him, but after hearing Xu Aiguo's words, she turned around to feed the sheep. Xu Aiguo and Xu Zhi rushed out of the yard. Xu Zhi helped Xu Aiguo pick up the box and hurried away.

The box was quite heavy. When walking on the road, Xu Zhi couldn't help asking, "Sister, are you going to send it to Brother Cheng?"

Xu Aiguo's face turned slightly red and nodded, "Yes, he wrote that the ore specimens collected from our village last time were not enough, so he wanted to find some more. I happened to see him and I picked some for him..."

The brother Cheng that Xu Zhi called Cheng Mingyu was a young man who came to Jinbaoling to explore the mineral deposit last summer. Xu Zhi had never seen him much. He only heard from his sister that after the young man left, his sister received letters from young man from time to time, and he also sent things to the young man with his parents on his back. So this time Xu Aiguo hurried into the house. Xu Zhi immediately thought that his sister probably had something else to do when she entered the city this time.

"Sister!" Xu Zhi felt a little disappointed, "Brother Cheng wants to see you again..."

"It's too far!" Xu Aiguo replied with a lip slight biting her lip, "It will cost a lot of money for him to come..."

"You don't need money to send stones?" Xu Zhi was carrying the heavy box, a little struggling. He knew that there were heavy stones in it.

"By the way, Zhi..." Xu Aiguo obviously didn't want to talk about Cheng Mingyu, so she hurriedly pulled the topic away, looked at Xu Zhi's left hand holding the box and asked, "What is on the fingernail of your index finger on your left hand?"

"What?" Xu Zhi was stunned, and changed the box with his left hand to his right hand, and raised his hand...

"Ah??" When Xu Zhi saw the lightning mark in his fingernails, he screamed out unconsciously. The dim space he was in last night flashed in his mind. Xu Zhi thought it was a dream, but he didn't know where he looked at the inexplicable mark on his left finger and the lightning mark on the nine light pillars in the space... He was definitely not dreaming.

"Zhi..." Seeing Xu Zhi's face pale, Xu Aiguo was shocked and hurriedly shouted, "What's wrong? Did something happen last night?"

"I don't know..." Although Xu Zhi was frightened, he knew nothing about what happened last night. He stopped unconsciously, turned to look at the mountain in the distance, and whispered like a dream, "What happened yesterday?"

"The sound of thunder..." Xu Aiguo also stopped, looked at Xu Zhi uneasy, looked at the mountains in the distance, and explained, "I thought it was a coal mine firing..."

"Beep..." At this moment, there was a sound of a car horn in the distance. Although it sounded a little far away, Xu Aiguo knew that this was the car driver reminding the people who were driving in the mountain village around Zuo to speed up.

"Run..." Xu Aiguo pulled Xu Zhi and shouted, "Don't think about it! Just be fine if you're fine!"

"Well, um..." Xu Zhiru woke up from his dream and hurriedly carried the heavy stone in his hand, chasing his sister running like a deer in front of him.

Hurry up and finally, while the kind driver was waiting, Xu Zhi and Xu Aiguo boarded the shuttle bus to JingL County County.

Although the shuttle bus was broken, there were still many unpleasant smells in the car in the hot summer. Even if the window was opened, Xu Zhi didn't care about this. After he sat down on the hard seat, he placed the box on his knees, half clenched his fists, and carefully observed the fingers of his left hand from the inside. Before he could see his fingers, "Cough cough..." An old farmer in his fifties coughed a few times next to him, which scared Xu Zhi hurriedly clenched his fists and hid his fingers in his fists.

Looking at the old farmer with a side face, he didn't seem to care about him. Moreover, the old farmer lowered his head slightly and seemed to be napping after coughing.

Xu Aiguo sat in front of Xu Zhi. After she paid for the ticket, she looked at Xu Zhi and whispered: "Zhi, you haven't had a good sleep. Let's sleep for a while. I'll call you again when the market is at the market!"

The collection mentioned by Xu Aiguo is not in the county town of JingL County, but at the junction of H County Town of Chongxi Township. The bamboo baskets, small animals, etc. compiled by Xu Zhi are sold there.

"Okay..." As soon as Xu Zhi sat down, his head started to hurt again. He ran away with the box for a while. He was already sweating profusely. He was sitting in the car. The wind blew, and he was really sleepy. Xu Zhi responded casually, his head tilted on the frame of the car window, and narrowed his eyes.
