Chapter 4 Homecoming
When I got home, my father hadn't returned. Seeing Qin Fengming return safely, her mother was full of tears, and she took her in her arms, choked up and couldn't speak.
"Mother, I'm fine, don't be sad, I'm fine. Qin Fengming was in his mother's arms, crying while comforting his mother.
"It's okay, it's okay" The mother touched Qin Fengming with both hands, checked carefully, and found that there were no scars except for the torn clothes on her body, and she immediately relieved herself.
Qin Fengming wiped his tears and asked, "What about my grandfather, is the injury serious?" ”
"Grandpa has a leg injury and is lying on the bed, go and take a look, so that grandpa can rest assured. ”
Ran into grandpa's room and saw that grandma was sitting on the edge of the bed, taking care of grandpa drinking water, Qin Fengming stepped forward quickly and came to the bedside: "Grandpa, grandpa, I'm back, how is your injury?"
Suddenly seeing Qin Fengming, grandpa supported his body with his elbows, sat up, rubbed his eyes with his hands, and saw that it was really Qin Fengming, and immediately smiled. Grandma hugged Qin Fengming at once, and while crying, she asked him if he was injured.
It turned out that when the boar arched Qin Fengming off the cliff, his grandfather and father also happened to approach the boar, and when they saw Qin Fengming rolling off the cliff, the two of them immediately rushed and started attacking from behind with a steel fork.
The boar was thrust in the buttocks by his father, and he became even more angry, turned his head and rushed straight at his grandfather. Grandpa responded calmly, and stabbed the steel fork into the eye of the rushing boar.
This time, the steel fork accurately inserted one of the boar's eyes, and the boar with abnormal pain still injured his grandfather under the action of inertia, and the fangs picked up a big hole in his grandfather's calf, and the white bones were visible inside.
The boar was mortally wounded, and he fled to the depths of the mountain without caring for the two of them.
Seeing that his son fell off the cliff and his father was injured, Qin Hongdeng's heart ached, and he hurriedly checked his father's injury, and saw that the wound was not light, so he immediately found some herbs around. Chew it with your mouth, apply it to the wound, and wrap it in a strip of cloth to wrap your father's wound.
Then went to the edge of the cliff, Xiangxia looked, and found that there was no bottom, Xiangxia shouted a few times, but there was no response.
Qin Hong had no way to go down to the cliff for the time being, so he could only endure the grief in his heart, first move his father to a safe place, and then run back to the village to inform the patriarch of the matter.
The patriarch immediately organized the villagers, followed Qin Hong back to the place of the incident, and asked the two of them to carry his grandfather home, and the others began to look for Qin Fengming everywhere.
The ancestors and grandchildren were telling what had happened, Qin Hong and the villagers came back one after another, and everyone came to visit and comfort Qin Fengming.
Seeing that there was no trace of injury on his body, they all felt very surprised, but everyone didn't ask too much, only saying that Qin Fengming had a big life and was blessed by the gods.
During this period, Qin Fengming recounted what happened after he fell off the cliff, but he skipped the matter of eating the vermilion fruit and picking up the small gourd. Why is this, Qin Fengming himself can't understand.
When the villagers heard that Qin Fengming had killed a python alone, everyone was amazed. They all showed unbelief.
In order to make everyone believe, Qin Fengming took out the cloth bag and showed the snake skin and snake gall for everyone to see.
Seeing such a long reckless skin, everyone was stunned. Such a big python, even if an adult encounters it, there is only one way to escape. How could a ten-year-old boy kill him without astonishing the crowd.
It was only at this time that Qin Hong had time to see his father's injury, and saw that although his father had applied herbal medicine, the injury was too serious, and it was impossible to heal him by relying only on the mountain people's soil law.
After consulting with the patriarch and the elders, it was decided to go to another mountain village ten miles away to find a Langzhong to have a look.
Qin Hong had eaten some food, took the only old horse in the village, and headed towards the mountain village.
Everyone waited until ten o'clock in the evening, only to see Qin Hong leading the old horse back, and immediately sat an old gentleman of seventy or eighty years old, holding a small box in his arms, although the old man was not young, but he was very strong.
After careful examination, the old gentleman found that the wound was very serious, and he pondered for a long time before he prescribed a prescription, which was applied externally and internally.
The old gentleman pointed to the prescription and said with a hesitant expression:
"In addition to dragon tooth grass (also known as crane grass, which has the effect of hemostasis, heart strengthening, antibacterial, and insect repellent), other herbs should be sold in Tenglong Town pharmacies. This dragon tooth grass is going to try your luck, if you really can't find it, let's think of other ways. ”
Because it was late, the old gentleman stayed at Qin Hong's house and returned at dawn the next day.
After dinner, Qin Fengming came to his father's house and listened to his parents discuss going to Tenglong Town tomorrow to buy herbs.
Qin Hong pondered for a while before saying: "This time, I sold the snake skin and snake gall bladder that the little third son got back, as well as the mountain mink, and the silver exchanged should be enough to buy medicinal herbs. ”
"Dad, I'll go with you tomorrow, I haven't been to town for a long time." Qin Fengming interjected on the side.
"You just came back, and you must be tired after three days in the mountains by yourself, so you should stay at home. Mother intervened, and blocked.
"I'm not tired, I'll be fine if I sleep, besides, I don't suffer much in the mountains, let me go, mother" Qin Fengming leaned towards his mother and began to say coquettishly.
After arguing for a long time, my mother saw that Qin Fengming really wanted to go, so she didn't say more. Just let him go to town and not run around.
Hearing this, Qin Fengming returned to his room with joy and sat on the edge of the bed, thinking about his arrival in Tenglong Town tomorrow.
Suddenly, my hand touched something on my chest, and then I remembered the little gourd. So he closed the door of the house, and saw that there was no one around, so he took out the green gourd and put it under the pine oil lamp.
Under the illumination of the light, the whole gourd looks small and exquisite, the green is abnormal, and the five clouds on the gourd are even more colorful, as if they are fluttering.
Holding the small gourd in his hand, Qin Fengming was very happy in his heart, he knew that this little gourd must be a treasure. Although the child has a heart, he also knows that wealth is not exposed, and he is determined to pay attention to it, and will never let anyone else find out about the existence of this little gourd.
Picking up the small gourd and shaking it vigorously, it seemed that there was something in it, but he couldn't be sure, so he held the gourd with one hand and the lid with the other, and twisted it vigorously, but it didn't move at all.
What exactly is in the gourd, this idea has always tempted Qin Fengming. So I found a small pair of tongs, clamped the lid of the gourd with pliers, and tried hard, but there was still no intention of opening. I think it's because I have little strength, and when I have a lot of strength in the future, I'm trying to see if I can open it.
