Early in the morning, at Lehi's house.

"Hmm" Lehi, who was asleep, woke up.

Opening his hazy eyes, Lehi looked around. Li Hai in his sleep last night dreamed: Li Lan and Li Yong fell asleep with him in bed, Li Lan gently shook the fan and fanned the wind, Li Yong told himself a story,

Lying among them, smiling happily.

Looking at the empty bed, but now that he was alone, Lehi couldn't help but feel a little gloomy.

Lehi, who felt a little hungry, got out of bed and cooked some wild vegetables and ate them.

Lehi, who was full, just sat at the dining table, in a daze. Daddy and mother are gone, and Lehi doesn't know what to do now, so he can only sit in a daze.

"Haizi, Haizi, come out, let's play" Li Tie must be very sad when he knew that Li Hai's parents had passed away, and he specially approved Li Hu to come to Li Hai to play without training today.

Li Hai, who was in a daze, was startled by Li Hu's shout.

"Huzi, I don't want to go, you can go play by yourself" After speaking, Li Hai lay on the dining table.

"Haizi, you come out!"

"Haizi, let's go hunt hares."

"Haizi, let's go dig the bird's nest."

Li Hu, who was outside the door, screamed for a long time, but he didn't see Li Hai's voice, so he could only shake his head and continue training.

Lehi stayed at home and ate something hungry, continued to be in a daze after eating, and went to bed when he was sleepy.

......

Three days later, early in the morning.

"Xiaohai, you open the door" The village chief knocked on the door and shouted to Lehi inside the house.

Hearing that it was the village chief's voice, Lehi walked over and opened the door, and then sat back down at the table in a daze.

"Alas" Seeing Lehi like this, the village chief sighed helplessly.

The village chief also understood Xiaohai very well, and took back the hundred-year-old bear heart that saved Li Yong, but Li Yong left first, and his mother couldn't stand Li Yong's departure and followed. Although Lehi has regained the hundred-year-old bear heart, he is the most powerful hunter in the village

, but after all, he is still a ten-year-old. Such a sudden change is unbearable for anyone, let alone Lehi, a ten-year-old child.

"Xiaohai, taste it, this is the wild boar's trotter soup I stewed for you with my own hands, drink it to nourish your body" The village chief sat down with Li Hai, took out the food box in his hand and put it in front of Li Hai's table.

Lehi looked at the food box and shook his head.

The village chief taught Li Hai for three years, and spent more time together every day for three years than Li Hai and Li Yong and his wife, and for this diligent and intelligent child, the village chief had long regarded him as his own grandson. see

Seeing that Lehi had become so thin and lacking in energy in three days, the village chief couldn't help but get anxious.

"Xiaohai, it's not a way for you to go on like this. Xiaolan and Xiaoyong don't want you to go on like this. The village chief opened the lid of the food box, filled it with a bowl of soup, and served it to Lehi.

"Well" Lehi picked up the soup, tasted it and put it down.

Looking at Li Hai, who was obviously perfunctory, the village chief continued: "Xiaohai, do you know why your father gave you this name? ”

Speaking of Li Yong, Li Hai came to his senses and raised his head to look at the village chief.

"Your father has never walked out of our mountains and forests in his life, so he wants you to get out of this mountain forest and go to that distant place to see what the sea is like!" Looking at Li Hai's face full of doubts, the village chief turned to Li Hai

Commentary.

Since he was a child, Lehi had listened to Li Yong tell stories about the sea, and knew that the sea was far, far away from the small mountain village where they were, and that they might not be able to get there for ten years if they walked alone.

The village chief paused, and continued to explain to Lehi: "Your father has wanted to see what the sea is like since he was a child, but he was seriously injured in a hunting trip, and after he recovered, he also suffered from the sequelae, and he could no longer do it

If the work is too heavy, I will give up. But when you were born, your father named you Lehi, just to let you inherit his wish and let you go to see what the sea was like on his behalf. ”

After listening to the village chief's words, Lehi's eyes seemed to regain a trace of vitality.

People are most afraid of having no hope of living, and the loss of his father and mother made Lehi lose hope of living, and now the village chief gave Lehi a reason to continue living, so that Lehi has a glimmer of hope for life.

"Xiaohai, do you think you can fulfill your father's wish if you go on like this?" The village chief touched Lehi's head lovingly.

"Village Chief, don't worry, I will cheer up, I will definitely go to the sea and fulfill my father's wish!" Lehi nodded firmly at the village chief.

Looking at the energetic Li Hai, the village chief smiled with satisfaction and continued: "Yes, this is the Xiaohai I know!" Xiaohai, you have a good rest at home, I'll leave first if I have something" After speaking, the village chief stood up and touched Li again

The head of the sea, turned and departed.

"Bang."

Lehi, who walked over and closed the door, suddenly felt a little hungry, turned to look at the wild boar's trotter soup on the table, and ate it in a big gulp.

After eating, Lehi seemed to have made up his mind, picked up the package and packed his luggage.

......

The next day.

The habits that Lehi had cultivated over the years began to work again after Lehi regained hope.

Before dawn, Lehi woke up, got dressed, and walked out the door. However, this time Lehi did not go to the practice ground, but to the cemetery in the village.

When he came to the grave of his parents, Lehi first kowtowed three times, then got up and sat down by the tomb.

"Dad, mother, Xiaohai has decided, Xiaohai wants to go to see the sea and fulfill his father's wish" Li Hai touched his father's tombstone and continued: "Dad, mother, you will definitely protect Xiaohai, right?" ”

Although he knew that it was impossible for Lehi to get his father's answer, Lehi believed that his father's spirit would definitely bless him in heaven.

Li Hai, who was sitting by the tomb, looked at the sky, estimated that everyone in the village had gotten up, got up and walked towards the village chief's house.

Walking on the road, Lehi could think of the picture of his father and mother with him everywhere he saw. Caught in the memory, Li Hai unknowingly walked to the village chief's house.

When the "village chief" saw the open door of the village chief's house, Lehi shouted and went in.

"Xiaohai is here" Looking at Lehi, who was so energetic, the village chief laughed happily.

"Xiaohai, you haven't had breakfast, come and sit down and eat" The village chief pointed to the position next to him.

Li Hai, who sat down, picked up a steamed bun and said while eating: "Village chief, I want to see the sea!" ”

"Xiaohai, I support you with this idea!" The village chief listened to Lehi's words and gave Lehi a thumbs up.

Seeing that the village chief was so supportive of himself, Li Hai happily continued: "Village chief, I want to leave tomorrow. ”

"Tomorrow?" The village chief frowned.

"Yes," Lehi replied firmly.

"Xiaohai, I support you to fulfill your dream, but can't you wait a few years? At least I'll be relieved when you're an adult. You're only ten years old now, and I really can't rest assured. The village chief put down the breakfast in his hand and admonished.

"Village Chief, I've been able to kill the hundred-year-old bear alone, and there should be no one in the village who is my opponent, so you don't have to worry! Again, I really don't want to stay in the village now, I can think about it wherever I am

When it comes to my father, it will be very sad," Lehi said to the village chief with great sincerity.

"Ugh."

Seeing that Li Hai was so resolute, the village chief didn't say anything anymore, and could only sigh slightly.

The village chief knew Lehi's temperament, and he said whatever he wanted, and it was impossible to change the decision he had made, and Lehi was also very reasonable.

"Xiaohai, I know you're determined to go out, and I can't stop you. But after you go out, you must be careful, and you must be more attentive, and the people outside are no better than us," the village chief admonished with a worried face

。

"I know, village chief," Lehi nodded.

"Also, Xiaohai, when you see a warrior, you must not offend, how far you can hide," the village chief continued to advise.

"Warrior? What is that? Lehi asked, puzzled.

The village chief thought for a moment and continued to say to Lehi: "I also heard from the merchants who come to the village every year to pull goods, they say that a warrior can kill people with one look, and can destroy a city with a wave of his hand. ”

Lijia Village is surrounded by endless forests, although it is remote, but every year there will be caravans here to exchange some special products, and the village chief also heard about it when chatting with the caravan people.

"What does a warrior look like?" Lehi listened to the village chief's words and became interested.

"I don't know." The village chief shook his head helplessly.
