Whew-Whew-Whew-

The cold wind roared, although it was still afternoon at this time, but the sky was full of clouds, the sky was very dark, the goose-feather-like snow was falling, and the earth and mountains were already covered in silver, including Lijia Village, which was backed by the mountains.

Behind Lijia Village is a large mountain, with fields and several small rivers on both sides and in front of the village, and a large road leading to the town.

The reason why this village is called Lijia Village is because the people in the village are basically surnamed Li, and there are very few other surnames. At this time, the snow was still falling, and the people in the village were hiding at home to keep warm, and the sky was so dark and the weather was cold, and no one in the village went out, so the village was very quiet at this time.

At this moment, two people appeared on the main road at the head of the village, one small and one large, one in front of one and one behind, running on the road. Running in front was a little girl, with a small hat on her head, a small coat on her body, and cotton shoes on her feet. Just because she ran too fast, her feet slipped, her body leaned forward, and she immediately fell and gnawed on the mud. At this time, the adults behind chased after him, carrying a box in his hand, came to the little girl's side, pulled her up and said, "Xiaoxue run slowly, you see you fall!"

This man is an old man, also with a hat on his head, dressed in a robe, about seventy-two or thirteen years old, with a handful of goatees, the whole person is thin and thin, but his eyes are bright, and he seems to be very energetic.

The little girl said, "Grandpa Zhang, hurry up, if you don't go, my father will die of pain!"

"I know, grandpa is old and can't outrun you, but you have to be careful, don't fall. ”

The two entered the village and walked straight to the back of the village, until they reached a wooden house at the back of the village. The two of them walked directly into the small courtyard surrounded by a fence, and then into the wooden house. The hall of the wooden house is not big, only a few farm tools are placed in the upper left corner, there is a table and a few stools in the center of the hall, and a pile of miscellaneous items are piled up in the upper right corner, just like that, the whole hall feels very crowded.

At this time, not long after the two of them entered the hall door, they heard a moan from the room on the right. The little girl hurriedly said, "Grandpa Zhang, go and take a look, my father is really in pain." ”

The two entered the room on the right, and saw that the room was very dark, and there was a bed diagonally opposite the door of the room, and there was a person lying on the bed, covered with a quilt, but there were blood stains on the quilt. Lying on the bed was a man of forty years old, with thick eyebrows, big eyes, a beard, and a pale complexion, as if he had been tortured in some way.

When the man looked at the little girl and the old man, he said weakly: "Xiaoxue, Doctor Zhang is here." ”

Doctor Zhang said: "I already know about you, and your daughter has told me everything." As he spoke, he took off all his hats.

The girl named Xiaoxue also took off the little hat and the coat, she wore two small pigtails, her eyes blinked, very cute, plus her skin was snow-white, her facial features were exquisite, and she was also a little beauty embryo.

Dr. Zhang lifted the quilt and couldn't help but be speechless, only to see that the man's left leg was bloodstained, and his knee was swollen, all blue and black.

"Doctor Zhang, can I still be cured?"

Doctor Zhang didn't answer, he reached out and touched it gently, the man immediately hissed in pain, Doctor Zhang washed the knee of the man's left leg, and then said: "You are so swollen, I tried it just now, the knee bone has been cracked, and I can't do anything." ”

"W-what can I do about this?" the man frowned.

"I'll bandage you first, but it's so swollen that it's difficult to put on a splint, so I can only get you some medicine to apply it, and then prescribe a prescription for you, one to reduce swelling and relieve pain, and the other to invigorate blood and remove stasis, but if you want to walk normally, I'm afraid it's impossible." ”

Doctor Zhang took the pulse and cleaned the wound and bandaged it, and it took nearly an hour and a half to finish the work, the man said: "Thank you Dr. Zhang, it's just that the medical expenses and consultation fees are ......" Doctor Zhang immediately said: "This is okay, I also know your situation, it is not easy to pull a daughter, and there are no relatives to help, so give the money if you can give it in the future." ”

"I'm really bothering you. ”

Doctor Zhang packed up his things and said: "Mohai, I didn't say you, you said that you went to the mountains in the cold, the mountains are full of potholes, and there is a hole if you are not careful, but the vegetation is luxuriant, and you can't see these holes." No, you accidentally fell into it, but fortunately someone found it, otherwise no one would have known about dying there. ”

This man's name is Mohai, a rare resident with a different surname in Lijia Village, it is said that his grandfather moved here, just because his grandfather to him are single, so he is only one person now, and has no brothers, and he only has such a daughter, named Mo Xue. Mo Hai said: "I don't want to get some game before the New Year, the family has not touched meat twice a year, this is not about the New Year, think about Xiaoxue and I eat chaff-like food every day, I, I really can't bear it!"

"I know you want your daughter to eat something good, but the mountains are very dangerous, and you can't take any risks in the winter, it's cold, the ground is slippery, and now it's okay, there's nothing left, and you still have a leg. I also know that you are bitter, if you want Xiaoxue to eat some meat, you can just tell me no, Xiaoxue I like this kid very much, why do you want to run to the risk?"

Mo Hai didn't speak anymore, just sighed, and Dr. Zhang said: "I'll go back first, I'll ask my granddaughter to send you some meat later, and let her make it by the way, and I'll let my grandson also get twenty catties of meat for you to pickle, how can you have a New Year, you can lie down in peace." I will help you handle things, and Li Da in your village is also very familiar with you, and he will definitely come to help. ”

"This, how embarrassing, we can't have this meat, you better keep it for yourself, I, I don't want to go. ”

"It's all like this, what kind of face do you care about! Don't say it, I'll let them bring it to you later!"

Doctor Zhang seemed to be a little angry, Mo Hai looked at him with an embarrassed face, and Doctor Zhang said again: "Okay, I'll go back first, it's almost dark!"

"Doctor Zhang, go slowly!"

It is said that Dr. Zhang walked out of the door of the room and saw Mo Xue standing at the opposite door, and she was looking at Dr. Zhang motionlessly. Doctor Zhang walked over and said with a smile: "Xiaoxue, what's the matter, what are you doing?" Xiaoxue said: "Grandpa, is my father okay?"

Dr. Zhang couldn't bear to say it directly, so he said: "It can be good, it can be good." Mo Xue didn't say a word, then turned around and ran into the room, and then came to Dr. Zhang, holding the bowl with both hands and said, "Grandpa, this is the porridge I cooked, grandpa eat it!" Mo Xue stopped holding it, Dr. Zhang walked to the door of the hall, Mo Xue put the bowl on the table, and then also went to the door, waved his hand and said, "Goodbye, grandpa!"

After Dr. Zhang left, Mo Xue opened the cover on the table, put a bunch of pickles in the porridge bowl with chopsticks, and then came to Mo Hai's side.

"Daddy!" Mo Xue held the bowl with both hands, looked at Mo Hai, Mo Hai looked at the daughter in front of him, and thought that his left leg was useless, his nose was sore, and his heart was full of mixed feelings, he took the bowl with his trembling hand, and then ate it with tears. Mo Xue took the bowl, then made a bowl to eat herself, and after eating, she moved a stool and sat next to Mo Hai.

Mo Xue kept looking at Mo Hai until he fell asleep, and then she ran to the inner room to sleep.

I don't know how long it took, there was a knock on the door outside, Mo Hai woke up immediately, and he shouted, "Who is it?"

Although the knock on the door came from the hall door, he could still hear it clearly, and then there was an old woman's voice: "I am an old woman begging everywhere, just because the wind and snow are too strong, and I am hungry, so I want to come to beg for a bowl of porridge to drink." ”

As soon as Mo Hai heard this, he shouted to the inner room: "Xiaoxue, get up quickly, someone is coming!" Mo Xue was also woken up, she ran to Mo Hai's side and said, "What's the matter, Daddy?" Mo Hai said: "Someone outside the door wants to beg for a bowl of porridge, you go and see." ”

Mo Xue came to the door of the hall, and she saw through the crack in the door that there was indeed an old woman outside the door, so she opened the door. As soon as the door opened, the cold wind poured in, Mo Xue immediately shivered, and the old woman staggered in with a bamboo stick, her face was wrinkled, her hair was gray, her body was even thinner, and her whole body was trembling. Mo Xue hurriedly closed the door, the old woman sat down, Mo Xue ran to the kitchen, and soon came out with a bowl of porridge, the old woman took the porridge and devoured it, so she ate three bowls before she was full.

"Thank you, little girl. ”

At this time, Mo Hai's voice came from the room: "Auntie, it's so cold now, and it's snowing outside, so you can live here." As soon as the old woman heard this, she got up and came to Mo Hai's side: "Thank you, little brother, it's just that what's the matter with your leg?" Mo Hai sighed and said, "Don't mention it, I fell on my leg." The old woman said: "Your family is still willing to help such a down-and-out old woman like me in such a situation, which shows that you are a good person, and I believe that good people have good rewards." ”

Mo Xue also came in, and Mo Hai said: "Auntie, you can stay with me tonight, the back room is still empty." The old woman said embarrassedly: "How can this be embarrassing?"

Mo Xue said: "Grandma, you can just live, I'll just sleep with my father." The old woman smiled and reached out to touch Mo Xue's head, and said with a smile: "The little girl is so good-looking now, and she will definitely look better when she grows up." Mo Hai said: "The wind and snow outside are so big, you can live there." The old woman couldn't push it, so she said, "Okay, just stay for one night." ”

Mo Xue slept on the inside of Mohai, and the old woman slept in the back room.

On the morning of the second day, Mo Xue got up early, she suddenly remembered the old woman who slept in the back room, so she ran over to take a look, but there was no one on the bed at all, she came out and said to Mo Hai: "Daddy, that old grandmother is gone!"

Mo Hai felt strange, so he asked, "Did she leave while we were asleep?" Mo Xue ran to the door of the hall and found that the door was still tethered, she ran in again and said: "The door of the hall is still tethered, is it possible that the old grandmother went out through the door and through the wall?" Mo Xue looked at Mo Hai, Mo Hai was also shocked, and secretly thought in her heart: "Could it be that this old lady is not a mortal?" He thought about it again, and couldn't help but suddenly realize, and immediately regretted it:" Oh, why am I so stupid, my family lives at the back of the village, and there is only a way up the mountain behind it, how can an old woman be so powerful, can she still go over the mountains and mountains, even if she comes to beg in front of the village, it will not be my turn to beg, so many people in front of her have already given her food, I am so stupid, I am so stupid!" Mo Hai regretted it very much, but what could he do, just a look of chagrin.

"What's wrong with Daddy?" Mo Xue looked at Mo Hai, and Mo Hai said, "Daddy is fine." Mo Xue said: "That old grandmother must be a fairy, isn't it, and Daddy must be annoyed because he missed it, isn't it?" Mo Hai was stunned, thinking that this girl is really smart, in fact, Mo Xue is really smart, she has been very smart since she can speak, and the people in the village say that she is young but her intelligence is higher than ordinary people, this is not Mo Xue will know what is going on as soon as she sees things.

Mo Xue said: "If I had known that the old woman was a fairy, I would have begged her to heal my father's leg, but ...... Woo woo!" Saying that, she was still crying, and Mo Hai comforted her: "Xiaoxue, don't cry, I believe that the gods will definitely come back." ”

"Really?"

"Of course, Xiaoxue is so smart, the fairy will definitely like you, and he will definitely come back. ”

Mo Xue stopped crying, and said, "I'll cook." ”

Mo Xue went out of the door and came to the hall, suddenly heard a knock on the door, Mo Xue opened the door and looked, but it was a teenager and a girl standing in front of the door. The boy was carrying a piece of pork in his hand, and the girl was also carrying a small piece of pork in one hand, and a large bag of things in the other, I don't know what it was. The young man said to Mo Xue: "Sister Xue'er, we have sent meat." Mo Xue immediately shouted, "Brother Yun is good, Sister Ping is good, is Grandpa Zhang asked you to send it?"

"Yes, grandpa asked us to send it. So saying, the boy came in with the maiden.

Mo Xue hurriedly ran into the room and said to Mo Hai: "Brother Yun and Sister Ping are here, they still have a lot of meat!"

"Huh, really?" Mo Hai quickly sat up. At this time, the boy and the girl came into the room, and they had already put the meat on the table outside.

"Hello Uncle Mo. The two of them shouted in unison.

"Hello two nephews, I'm really troublesome to you, you gave me free medical treatment and sent me a lot of meat, I really don't know how to thank you. ”

These two people are Dr. Zhang's grandchildren, one is named Zhang Yun and the other is Zhang Ping.

The one who was called Sister Ping by Mo Xue said: "Uncle Mo don't mind, it stands to reason that we should have sent it over yesterday, but my grandfather is old and has a bad memory, so he forgot it long ago when he got home, and it wasn't until this morning that my grandfather suddenly remembered it, so he asked us to send it over." ”

"Oh, thanks to the old man's memory, I dare not be ashamed, it's really troublesome for you. ”

Zhang Yun said again: "By the way, my grandfather also prescribed medicine, and by the way, he also sent it over." He went out for a moment and came in again, carrying a big bag of things.

Mo Hai was grateful again, Zhang Ping said: "Grandpa told us that there are seven pairs of medicines here, each of which is divided into three parts, each of which is stewed three times, once in the morning, noon and evening, and each time the medicine is stewed for half an hour, and the potion can be taken." ”

"Got it, thank you so much. ”

Zhang Ping said again: "Uncle don't be polite, this is what grandpa ordered, let's just do it, okay, I'll help my uncle cook, and by the way, make a broth for uncle and Xiaoxue to eat." ”

"Thank you, Sister Ping!" Mo Xue exclaimed happily.

It is said that Zhang Ping dragged Mo Xue to the kitchen, and the two were very busy, while Zhang Yun came in with a urine bucket, and then helped Mo Hai up for convenience, after all, the feces and urine on his body made him anxious, and Mo Xue would definitely not be able to help when he was young.

Mo Xue and Zhang Ping cooked a meal and let Mo Hai eat it together, Zhang Ping and Zhang Yun brothers and sisters did not leave, helped Mo Xue marinate the meat, stored it in the tank, and said: "This way you can save it for the winter." ”

Saying that, the three of them were having fun, and there was a group of children outside, some men and women, tall and short, led by one about ten years old, wearing a gray cotton jacket and a cotton hat on his head, he shouted to Mo Xue: "Mo Xue, let's go out to play together!" Seeing this, Mo Xue glanced at the hall door and said, "Brother Li Yun, I'm not going!"

That kid is called Li Yun, but he is the youngest son of Li Da in the village, and he has a good time with Mo Xue, and he happened to come to Mo Xue to play. At this time, Zhang Ping saw what Mo Xue meant, so she said to Mo Xue: "You just go out and play with them, your father has us to take care of it." ”

"Then I'm going to play, thank you brother and sister!"

Watching Mo Xue jump away, Zhang Yun said with a smile: "Xue'er is really smart, no wonder grandpa likes her very much." ”

Mo Xue and Li Yun and a group of children ran to a clearing behind them, and you chased me and chased me very happily. After playing for about half an hour, everyone stopped, and then Li Yun asked Mo Xue: "Mo Xue, how is your father?" Mo Xue said: "My father is still lying on the bed." Li Yun exclaimed: "Ah, you won't really break your leg." At this time, an eight or nine-year-old boy next to him said: "I heard my father say that Mo Xue's father accidentally fell into a deep pit and fell so badly." Li Yun said again: "Then isn't it difficult for your father to walk in the future and become a limp man?"

"You're a limp person!" Mo Xue blushed and became excited.

Li Yun saw that she was angry, and he didn't dare to say this again, so he said again: "Okay, okay, your father won't limp, he will definitely be fine." In fact, although Li Yun is older, he is also quite afraid of Mo Xue, especially when Mo Xue is angry, he hurriedly let go, either he should be with him or dare not speak.

"Why don't we play hide and seek, whoever loses rock-paper-scissors will catch us!"

"Okay, okay!"

"Rock-paper-scissors!"

"Why me again!" Mo Xue was anxious, she didn't expect that everyone else was rock, so she scissors.

Li Yun snickered at each other, and then said, "You are blindfolded and not allowed to peek, let's go hide first!"

Mo Xue blindfolded and began to count: "One, two, three, four......."

Mo Xue was blindfolded for a long time, and she didn't hear any movement, so she asked, "Are you okay, I'm coming to you!" But as soon as she asked, no one answered, so she continued to be blindfolded, and at this time, she was greeted by a wave of hot air, which had a very strong fishy smell, she put down her hand and looked at it, and was immediately stunned.

I saw two huge nostrils facing her in front of her, and then she saw a pair of huge blood-red eyes staring at her, and in front of her was a huge monster, with a hideous face, red skin on its body, and two big horns on its head, like a cow but not a cow, Mo Xue's petite body looked even smaller in front of it.

Mo Xue stood still, looking at the huge monster, then suddenly burst into tears, then turned and ran. The giant beast chased after him from behind, and Mo Xue also ran with her head down, shouting in her mouth: "Help, there are monsters!" Mo Xue only understood why they didn't respond at this time, they must have seen this giant beast when they were hiding, so they didn't dare to make a sound, they all hid.

Mo Xue ran all the way, but because she was in too much of a hurry, she immediately tripped and fell, fell and gnawed on the mud, and then turned to watch the giant beast slowly approaching.

"Wow!" Mo Xue cried even harder, and the giant beast once again pointed its nostrils at Mo Xue, spewing hot air. It is said that the other children saw that the giant beast was only targeting Mo Xue alone, so they hurriedly ran, shouting as they ran: "Monster, help!"
