Chapter 15: My Father Dies

Li Hai, who ran all the way to Lijia Village, finally saw the shadow of the village from a distance, and the worries in his heart were slightly put down.

Perhaps God was moved by Lehi's desire to save his father, and Lehi was not attacked by wild beasts on his way back to the village. If he encounters a python at this time, the tired Lehi may have confessed here.

Lehi didn't count how much time it had taken to walk back from the depths of the forest, but by the time Lehi walked out of the forest, it was already dawning.

Li Hai, who walked out of the mountains and forests, touched the bear heart in his arms, thought that his father was saved, and ran happily towards Lijia Village in his heart.

"Well, that's not right!" Lehi, who ran towards Lijia Village, found that the village was different from usual.

At this time, children are already practicing on the training ground in the village, rain or shine. But now the training ground is empty, and only when something big happens in the village does the children take a break from training.

Lehi felt uneasy in his heart for no reason, and his heart felt as if he had been hit with a heavy punch, and Lehi, who felt uneasy, ran to the village like crazy.

......

"Well, no one?" Lehi, who ran into Li's village, found that there was no one on the surrounding streets.

"My family?" Lehi, who ran home, found that there were many people gathered in front of the house, and his anxiety became even stronger.

"Xiaohai, I'm back!"

"Xiaohai, you're finally back!"

"Xiaohai, come in!"

The villagers in front of Lehi's house couldn't help but say to Lehi when they saw Lehi coming back from afar.

"What's going on?" Lehi, who ran to the front of his house, asked the villagers around him.

The crowd shook their heads and did not speak, and with sad faces, they made a way for Lehi to enter.

"Village Chief, Third Grandfather, Uncle Tie" Li Hai walked into the courtyard gate and saw the three of them standing in front of his father's bed.

Lehi walked towards the three of them step by step, as if he had already thought of what was happening, his heart was tight, he didn't want to think about it, and tears flowed from the corners of his eyes.

Lehi shook his head as he walked to his father's bed, saying over and over again, "Impossible! No way! No way! ”

"Xiaohai, alas" Li Tie patted Li Hai's shoulder and stepped aside, not saying anything.

The village chief and the third grandfather opened their mouths as if they wanted to say something, but they didn't say anything.

Looking at Li Yong, who was lying quietly on the bed, his head turned to the door, his eyes were still open, but there was no trace of breath, and Li Hai's tears flowed out uncontrollably.

Lehi knew that it should be his father who woke up in the middle of the night to see himself, but found that he was not around, and kept looking out the door, wanting to see himself, but he never came back, and he couldn't close his eyes until he died! Thinking of Lehi here, his heart was dripping blood.

"Knock" Lehi knelt down, took his father's arm, and cried out loudly in reluctance to accept it: "Father, get up! Get up! Xiaohai has brought back a hundred-year-old bear heart for you, Dad, you can be fine! Daddy, get up and take a look! Ahhhh............h But Li Yong opened his eyes, but he couldn't see it anymore.

Looking at Li Hai, who had taken out a hundred-year-old bear heart, the three village chiefs looked at each other and were speechless in shock.

Li Hai, who had been roaring for a long time, slowly closed Li Yong's eyes with his hand.

"Third grandfather, why did my father walk so fast" Li Hai turned around, looked at the third grandfather, and asked slowly.

The third grandfather lowered his head sideways, and said in a somewhat choked voice: "Xiao Yong injured his internal organs when he was young, and he couldn't bear it before, and when you came back yesterday, you were already holding on to your last breath." ”

Lehi, who had been silent for a long time, asked again, "When did my father leave?" Lehi tugged at his fist tightly.

"When your mother's rooster crows, you get up and find that your father is gone" After listening to the village chief's answer, Lehi's mind kept coming up with the picture of his father waking up and wanting to see him for the last time, but he found that he was not there, and his eyes were open and he was looking at the door, wanting to see himself come back, and he never came back.

"It's useless to blame me! Blame me for not paying attention to my father's injuries sooner! Blame me for not going yesterday for not having afternoon! Blame me for coming back so late! Lehi, who blamed himself, knelt and kowtowed to Li Yong one by one, and Lehi, who was too violent, blood dripped down Lehi's forehead.

Lehi, who suddenly remembered something, turned around, and Lehi, whose face was covered with blood, asked, "What about my mother, how is it?" ”

Lehi knew the relationship between his mother and his father, and if his father was gone, his mother would definitely not be able to accept it; In addition, he didn't listen to persuasion and risked his life to sneak into the mountains again. Under the double blow, what will happen to the mother, Lehi doesn't know. But if it were him, Lehi knew he might go crazy.

"When your mother got up, she found that your father was gone, and you were gone, so she ran out of the village like crazy, but suddenly fainted at the entrance of the village, fortunately she was found by your uncle, and she carried it back, and now it is in your bedroom." The village chief pointed to Lehi's room.

Lehi nodded, stood up, wiped the blood on his head with his sleeve, and walked towards Li Lan.

Li Hai walked over and squatted beside Li Lan's bed, looking at Li Lan lying on the bed, suddenly there was a lot of gray hair, and Li Lan, who was in a coma, was also full of worry on her face, and her brows were furrowed.

stroked Li Lan's hair and called softly: "Mother, Xiaohai is back." Mother, Xiaohai is back......"

Li Lan, who was in a coma, heard Li Hai's voice, her eyelids moved, and she slowly opened her eyes: "Xiaohai, you ...... You're back? ”

"Mother, Xiaohai is back late!" Lehi grabbed Li Lan's hand.

"It's good to be back! It's good to be back! Li Lan touched Li Hai's face and asked, "Xiaohai, did you enter the mountain last night?" ”

"Hmm" Lehi nodded: "Mother, it's useless to blame Xiaohai, Xiaohai got a hundred-year-old bear heart, but he still came back late." ”

"You got a hundred-year-old bear heart?" Li Lan had an expression of disbelief on her face, and immediately sat up, "Xiaohai, quick, show my mother, are you hurt?" ”

"Mother, I'm fine!" Saying that, Lehi jumped around and showed Li Lan.

Li Lan looked at Li Hai's clothes in tatters, but there were only some blood marks on his body, all of which were skin injuries that were not serious, so he was a little relieved.

Knowing that Li Hai was fine, Li Lan, who was relieved, seemed to think of Li Yong again, and the look in her eyes dimmed again, and she didn't speak.

Looking at Li Lan's expression, Li Hai knew that Li Lan thought of Li Yong, "Mother, I'll help you go to see your father." ”

"Hmm" Li Lan nodded slightly.

A thick man can't stand such a big stimulus, let alone a woman, so now Li Lan's body is extremely weak.

Li Hai helped Li Lan out of bed and walked heavily towards Li Yong's corpse.

Watching Li Lan walk into the room, the three village chiefs surrounded her, and Li Tie grabbed Li Lan with one hand, as if he wanted to give Li Lan some comfort.

Li Lan watched Li Yong lying quietly on the bed, Li Lan bit her lip tightly, and painful tears flowed from the corners of her eyes.

Li Hai held Li Lan with one hand, and tightly pulled his other hand into a fist, looking at Li Lan's sadness in front of him, Li Yong's death. I kept blaming myself in my heart, blaming myself for being useless, and I came back late; If I had come back earlier, my father wouldn't have left!

"Xiaohai, your father has already gone, you can prepare for your father's funeral! Mother, tired! Help me go back to rest! Li Lan, who had been watching for a long time, turned her head and stopped looking at Li Yong.

"Yes, mother" Li Hai helped Li Lan to his room.

"Squeak."

Hearing the sound of the door shut, Li Lan covered her head with the quilt and cried bitterly.

Lehi, who was standing outside the door, heard Li Lan's cry in pain, and his heart seemed to be broken. The hand clenched into a fist, the nails pierced deep into the flesh, and the blood dripped down drop by drop, but Lehi didn't know it.
