Chapter 11 Re-entry into the Forest
Everyone praised Li Hai for a while, and then they set off again with laughter and walked in the direction of Lijia Village.
The harvest of three days in the forest this time is almost the same as the harvest of the previous week; When encountering the wolves, no one was lost this time, and everyone escaped with only some minor injuries, which was not the previous time when a large number of people were lost; Lehi's method even allowed everyone to find a way to deal with the wolves, how could they not make everyone extremely happy.
Hunting in the forest is extremely risky, and if you are not careful, you will die, which is why the population of Lijia Village is still small after so many years.
"This time, we can come out alive because of Xiaohai!"
"Yes, if it weren't for Xiaohai's cleverness, we don't know how many people would come out alive this time!"
"It's still Xiaohai smart, look at my baby again, alas."
"Third brother, don't sigh, Xiao Hai is the genius of our Lijia Village, I think the village chief was not as powerful as Xiao Hai at his age, and there are a few people who can compare to Xiao Hai."
Hearing so many people praising himself, Lehi was so shy that his face turned red, and he couldn't help pinching the corners of his clothes and rubbing them.
The hunting team of Lijia Village enters the mountain once a month, and each time it lasts for almost a week's hunting time, and the people of the hunting team did not expect to come back on the third day this time, let alone the people in the village, so no one greeted them at the entrance of the village.
On the contrary, the children who were playing at the entrance of the village saw the hunting team coming back with large bags of small bags from a distance, and hurriedly ran into the village, shouting loudly as they ran: "The hunting team is back!" The hunting party is back......"
Hearing the children's shouts, the people of the village hurriedly threw down their work and hurried to the entrance of the village to meet them.
The closer to Lijia Village, the more urgent the hunting team became, encountering such a big crisis, although there was no danger, but now I think about it is still very afraid, at this time I just want to return home as soon as possible, with my relatives, and the pace is involuntarily faster.
Every time the hunting team goes into the mountains and forests to hunt, it is fighting for their lives, but no one has ever flinched, all for survival, for the sake of their relatives, at this time they came back alive and saw their relatives come to greet them, how can they not be excited.
"Xiaohai!" As soon as she heard the children's shouts, Li Lan ran out as fast as she could in her life.
"Mother." Lehi hurried to meet him.
Seeing that everyone in the hunting team was ragged and covered with blood, Li Lan knew that everyone was in great danger this time.
"God forbid, God forbid." Li Lan looked Li Hai up and down carefully, and made sure that Li Hai was not short of pounds and meat, so she cried with her hands together and thanked God.
"Mother, I'm fine, I'm not back, don't cry! You see, I can jump like this, I can jump like this. ”
Li Lan's crying appearance made Li Hai's heart almost broken, and Li Hai jumped left and right in a funny way to make Li Lan happy.
"You kid!"
"Snort." Li Lan was amused by the funny Li Hai and couldn't help but hug Li Hai.
It is said that the father and mother know the child best, but at the same time, the child also knows the father and mother best.
Li Lan's actions made Li Hai's heart tense, and he hurriedly asked, "Mother, did something happen?" ”
Li Lan, who was hugging Li Hai, heard Li Hai's inquiry, her expression became extremely sad, and she nodded heavily.
"Isn't it ...... daddy?"
Seeing Li Lan's reaction, there was a throbbing feeling in Li Hai's heart, and Lehi, who probably guessed it, still didn't want to believe it.
"Hmm." Li Lan nodded slowly again.
Li Lan's answer made Lehi's whole body confused, and he took a few deep breaths, Lehi tried hard to calm himself down, but he couldn't.
"Mother, I'll go back and see my dad first." Lehi's voice trembled a little, and without waiting for Li Lan's answer, Lehi spread his legs and ran home.
"Xiaohai, where are you going so soon?"
"Xiaohai!"
"Sister-in-law, what are you doing Xiaohai?"
The unknown members of the hunting team were a little confused when they saw Lehi rushing out.
Li Lan didn't explain, wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and followed quickly.
"This ......"
The reaction of the two made the people of the hunting team very confused, and they wanted to ask more, but they were stopped by the relatives who came out to greet them, and they didn't ask any more.
Lehi, who ran with all his might, quickly ran to the front of the house, anxious but afraid to push the door open.
"Dad, you must not have anything to do, you must be in the ......"
Lehi, who had been comforting himself for a long time standing at the gate, made up his mind before pushing open the door and walking in.
"Daddy is still here!" Seeing Li Yong lying on the bed, Li Hai's heart was a little calm, and his hands were shaking with excitement.
"Dad, Xiaohai is back!" Li Hai walked quickly to Li Yong's bedside and gently called Li Yong, who had his eyes closed.
"Hmm, little ...... Small...... Sea, back to ...... Coming back? Li Yong slowly opened his eyes, raised his hand with all his strength, and wanted to touch Li Hai's cheek, but he lifted it halfway and fell down.
Li Haiyi grabbed Li Yong's hand and leaned it on his face, tears couldn't help but flow from the corners of his eyes.
"Dad, what's wrong with you? Xiaohai came back safely, and he came back with a lot of prey. Lehi said in a choked voice.
"Little ...... Xiaohai, grow up...... It's big, it's a ...... Manly, don't ...... Cry, Daddy...... Not...... What's the big deal...... Yes. Although Li Yong was so weak that he even seemed to have a hard time speaking, he still tried to show a smile.
"Yes, Dad, Xiaohai has grown up, Xiaohai doesn't cry." Lehi obediently held back his tears and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with his hand, but the sadness in his words could not be concealed no matter how hard Lehi tried.
"Little ...... Xiaohai, really ...... Shrewd. After saying this, Li Yong seemed to have exhausted all his strength, closed his eyes and fell asleep again.
I don't know when Li Lan, who was standing behind Li Hai, saw that Li Yong had fallen asleep again, and sadness came from it, hugged Li Hai from the back, and sobbed softly.
Li Hai slowly turned around, pressed Li Lan's shoulders, and asked, "Mother, why did Dad suddenly become like this?" ”
"Your father was seriously injured while hunting when he was young, and his internal organs were damaged. When I was young, I could still carry it, but now that I'm older, I can't carry it anymore. On the second day you went out, it was almost gone, and now I rely on one breath to support you, I want to see you before leaving, now Xiaohai, you are back, my mother is afraid that your father is afraid that it will be ...... soon"
Li Lan couldn't go on anymore as she spoke, lowered her head and cried even more sadly.
Lehi thought of something, as if grasping a life-saving straw, and asked eagerly, "Where is the third grandfather?" The third grandfather is so powerful, doesn't the third grandfather have a way to save his father? ”
Lehi's third grandfather was the village doctor, and the people in the village would go to him for any illness, and in Lehi's eyes, there was no disease that his third grandfather could not cure.
"Your third grandfather said that now only a hundred years of bear heart can save your father." Li Lan replied desperately.
"Don't go, child, my mother doesn't want to lose the two of them at once, how can you let my mother live when the time comes." Lehi turned around to take the gun and wanted to grab the door, but Li Lan saw Lehi's thoughts, and quickly blocked the door to prevent Lehi from going out.
Hundred-year-old bear heart, as the name suggests, is the heart of a bear that has lived for a hundred years, and the bear that has lived for a hundred years is about to become a monster, even if it is a hunting team composed of all the men in the village, if it encounters an existence that will all die, how can Li Lan let Li Hai go.
Li Hai stared at Li Lan's eyes, saw Li Lan's resoluteness, unwillingly put down the gun in his hand, turned around and knelt beside Li Yong, held Li Yong's hands, and looked at Li Yong motionlessly, reluctant to take his eyes off.
Li Hai's mind kept coming to the scene where Li Yong was so weak just now and said that he didn't have anything big to worry about, so he took Li Yong's hand and tightened it tightly, and made up his mind in his heart.
It's night.
Li Lan guarded Li Yong alone for two days, and Li Hai, who was still worried about going out hunting, was already exhausted, and now that Li Hai is back, he can finally go to rest, and after dinner, he went back to his room early to sleep, leaving Li Hai alone to guard Li Yong.
Lehi, who had finally calmed down, looked at the night outside the door through the window, there was not a single star in the starry sky tonight, and the moonlight was also blocked by dark clouds, only a thin layer of moonlight shone through the dark clouds.
"It's time to go." After Li Hai carefully covered the quilt for Li Yong, he got up and picked up the spear, picked up the long knife and walked outside the house.
Li Hai, who walked to the door, suddenly turned around again, kissed Li Yong, and then resolutely walked out of the door.
Lehi gently pushed open the door and secretly ran towards the village warehouse.
The door of the warehouse was locked, and Lehi split the big lock of the warehouse with a knife, pushed the door and walked in.
Looking at the bow hanging all over the wall, Lehi walked over briskly, took down one of the few stainless steel bows, Lehi pulled it, and nodded in satisfaction.
The Aoki bow needs three hundred catties of strength to be full, and Lehi, who has reached five hundred catties of great strength, has long been unable to let Lehi exert his full strength; The steel bow required five hundred pounds of strength, and now it was the most suitable bow for Lehi.
Lehi took another pot of arrows, put the steel bow on his back, hung a black iron knife on his waist, carried a spear, and hid a dagger in his boots.
Outside the door, Li Hai listened to the third grandfather's house and knew that the third grandfather should have fallen asleep, so he turned in lightly.
Walk to the sawgrass that the third grandfather hung on the rope to dry, remove it and mash it with water, and smear it on arrows, knives, spear tips, and daggers.
With all this done, Lehi walked to the corner, ready to roll over and go out.
But he saw the chili peppers drying in the dustpan in the corner of the wall, and picked up the ground powder, picked up a bag and put it in it, and hung it around his waist.
After doing all this, Lehi always felt that it was not perfect enough, thought about it, patted his head and suddenly realized that the best combination of yin people is still missing lime.
Lime is a must-have for plastering walls and building houses, and people in the mountains build their own houses, so every family will have a little, and Li Hai is not afraid that the third grandfather's house will not have it, so he will find it again.
After a while, Lehi mixed the lime and chili peppers he found from the firewood room, hung the bag around his waist again, and after finishing these things, Lehi left the third grandfather's house over the wall.
"Dad, you wait for Xiaohai to come back, Xiaohai will definitely be able to cure you." Lehi, who had climbed out of the wall, reluctantly glanced in the direction of his home, and then took advantage of the night to leave the village and disappear into the darkness.
