Chapter 4 Gratitude and Rewards
The big tree village is famous for an ancient tree that has been struck by lightning but stands tall in the village. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The tree is dozens of feet tall and blackened, and it has long since died, and people have built a cottage around it.
Among the mountains and ravines, ghouls are infested, yin beasts are rampant, and the big tree village stands alone on the top of the mountain.
Around the cottage, there is a natural rocky area, forming a barrier, and the fortifications that the residents of the village have painstakingly built, have successfully resisted many waves of ghouls.
"Three fools, I'm back, open the door!"
Fang Yu climbed the rock and shouted at the gate of the wall.
On the sentry tower, the three stood stupidly, and he was responsible for guarding the door of the big tree village on weekdays.
"Brother Xiaoyu, you're back!"
The three fools recognized Fang Yu, smirked with a mouthful of macular teeth, pulled the roller with both hands, and the fence at the gate of the village slowly rose.
Crunch.
The iron fence had long since rusted, and when it was opened, it made a mournful roar, as if it might collapse at any moment.
The fence rose less than a third of its height, and Fang Yu came in with a puff of smoke, and the person stood up and patted the dust on his body.
"Brother Xiaoyu, where are you going?"
The three fools happily ran down from the sentry tower, his face was yellow and thin, and he was two years younger than Fang Yu.
"I went out looking for food yesterday, and you forgot?"
Fang Yu shook his head and smiled, seeing that there was no one around, he took out the barley cake he had bitten into from his arms. "Give!"
The three fools' eyes suddenly lit up, and they hurriedly took it, and they just gobbled it up.
"Thank you...... Thank you, Brother Xiaoyu. ”
He slurred as he ate, as if he had been hungry for days.
"Don't tell anyone else, don't eat too fast, be careful of stomach upset."
Fang Yu reminded that the third fool was an orphan who passed out in the wild a few months ago with a scar, and was picked up by Uncle Wang Wen and brought back.
When he was picked up, he was only wearing a pair of silk pants, and the rest of his body was naked, and the injuries on his body were not light, Uncle Wang Wen guessed that he should have been robbed.
The pants he wore were all silky, which was extremely rare in the Barbarian God Guling, and at first the residents of the cottage thought that his background was not simple.
However, when the three fools woke up, everyone found that he was mentally deficient, and he didn't know anything, so he had the name Three Fools.
Such a mentally deficient orphan was originally a burden in the cottage, and he couldn't help anything, and many people wanted to get rid of him, such as the three brothers of the Xiong family who died and resolutely opposed taking him in at the beginning.
However, there are still a lot of kind-hearted people in the big tree village, Uncle Wang Wen asked him to work and be responsible for guarding the door, so he has the value of staying, and the kind-hearted people in the cottage often help him give him food, so he survived.
It's just that as the winter famine gets more and more serious, every family in the big tree village is too busy to take care of themselves, and there are fewer and fewer people who can give food to the three fools, and this little guy is probably starving for the past few days.
Although Fang Yu was too busy to take care of himself, he thought that the three fools had a pitiful background, so he tried his best to help if he could.
"By the way, three fools, what about my mother?"
Fang Yu remembered and asked, he didn't return last night, and he thought that his mother would wait for him at the door.
"Aunt Yun stayed until midnight last night, and she was just helped back to sleep."
The three fools swallowed the last bite of the cake and said slowly.
"What? Why didn't you tell me about it earlier! ”
Fang Yu's face changed when he heard this, and he hurriedly ran home after saying a word.
The barbarian god Guling was dewy and cold at night, and his mother was infected with cold diseases, how could he stand it if he waited for him at the gate of the village all night?
The three fools stupidly said that they were going back to sleep, but as soon as he heard it, he knew that his mother must have committed the same old mistake again!
Fang Yu hurriedly ran back to his thatched house, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw Uncle Wang Wen coming out of it.
"Xiaoyu, you're back!"
Wang Wen was overjoyed when he saw Fang Yu's face, Fang Yu didn't return last night, and the three brothers of the Xiong family came back and said that they had encountered a tide of ghouls, and he felt in his heart that he was more than lucky, and he was afraid that he would die.
"Uncle Wang Wen, how is my mother?"
Fang Yu was worried about his mother's situation and said nervously.
"Your mother's old mistake has been done again, but it's okay, I'm resting now, and I'm already asleep. You didn't come back last night, but you worried her to death, no matter how I and my mother-in-law persuaded her, she always refused to go home, and kept guarding the gate of the village. ”
Wang Wen shook his head, pity the hearts of parents all over the world, Fang Yu didn't return last night, Yan Zhengyun was strong on the surface and didn't cry at all, but the thin figure waiting at the gate of the village made them uncomfortable.
Now it's okay, Fang Yu is finally safe, presumably she will be happy when she wakes up.
Hearing what Uncle Wang Wen said, Fang Yu felt distressed for a while, and quickly stepped into the house.
On the straw bed in the house, Yan Zhengyun was covered with a rough animal skin blanket, her body curled up, her face pale, and her mouth muttered to herself.
"Xiao Yu ......"
In the dream, she was still worried about her son, and it could be seen that Fang Yu didn't return last night, which really frightened her.
The youngest daughter was kidnapped by ghouls when she was a child, and her husband disappeared a year ago, and her son can be said to be her only spiritual support.
"Mother, I'm here."
Fang Yu hurriedly stepped forward to hold his mother's hand, and found that her hands were even colder than usual, obviously caused by staying outside for too long.
"The porridge is ready. Hey, Xiaoyu, you're back, come and eat hot porridge! ”
Aunt Wang happened to come in with a hot pot at this time, and said in surprise when she saw Fang Yu.
"Why don't you tell me to get it, really, be careful of the tire gas!"
Aunt Wang is nine months pregnant and is close to giving birth, Uncle Wang Wen has been a soldier recently, and he is very careful, so he hurriedly stepped forward to take the pot.
"Don't make a big fuss, don't get in the way, give Xiao Yu a bowl, he has been in the wild for so long, he is probably going to be hungry."
Aunt Wang looked at her man with a smile and instructed.
The pot was placed in the house, and it was still steaming, but although it was porridge, it was very thin, and there were some wild vegetables floating in it.
"Give."
Wang Wen took a bowl and handed it to Fang Yu.
"Thank you, uncle."
Fang Yu took it, and he was very grateful.
At this time, it is not easy for everyone, especially when Uncle Wang's family is about to have a baby born, and now it is even more tense.
But Uncle Wang and Aunt Wang have always taken good care of their mother and son, and he has always been grateful in his heart.
Grunt.
Although it tasted tasteless, in order to avoid being seen as flawed, Fang Yu still ate the porridge in one go.
"Eat slowly, there's still something in the pot, look at this kid."
Aunt Wang giggled when she saw this, although the world was very difficult, Aunt Wang was always smiling, giving people an optimistic and positive feeling.
"Xiao Yu, I heard that the Xiong brothers said that you got lost when you encountered the tide of ghouls, and I pinched a cold sweat for you. The Xiong brothers went out to look for you today, did they bring you back? ”
Wang Wen asked about yesterday's incident.
"Brother Xiong went to look for me?"
Faced with the problem, Fang Yu had already thought of his words, put down the bowl in his hand, and his face was gloomy and a little surprised.
"What's wrong? Is there anything wrong with this? ”
Wang Wen had an understanding of the conduct of the three brothers of the Xiong family, and immediately guessed that there was another mystery in the matter.
Fang Yu nodded and took out the Blazing Fruit from his arms.
The Wang family and his wife were the people he trusted the most in the big tree village, and he was not worried that the spirit fruit would cause them to covet it.
"You found the Spirit Fruit?"
The husband and wife of the Wang family were surprised.
Fang Yu nodded, and then said the words he had thought of beforehand.
"Yesterday I accidentally found this blazing fruit, who would have thought that the three brothers of the Xiong family would want to kill people and sell goods, and at that time the ghoul appeared, so I took the opportunity to escape, I didn't want to run too far, I didn't have time to come back."
"So, the three brothers of the Xiong family went out to find you today, do they have bad intentions?"
With Wang Wen's intelligence, he immediately understood what had happened.
Fang Yu nodded. "I should, but I didn't meet them."
"It's good that people are safe and sound, this spiritual fruit is fire, and it will be very good for your mother to take it, which will be very good for her cold disease. Hmph, when those three brothers come back, I'll settle accounts with them! ”
Wang Wen smiled at first, and then his face became a little stern.
Fang Yu knew that Uncle Wang didn't say it casually, his cultivation was in the fifth stage of body refining, and he was the strongest qi inducer in the entire cottage, plus he was righteous and righteous, so he had a very important voice in the cottage.
However, the three brothers of the Xiong family are all dead, and there is no need for Wang Wen to come out at all. Of course, Fang Yu would not take the initiative to inform him of this.
"Xiaoyu, are you back......"
At this time, Yan Zhengyun woke up in a daze, and when he heard Fang Yu's voice, his whole person suddenly became angry.
"Mother, you're awake!"
Fang Yu hurriedly stepped forward.
Seeing this, the Wang family and his wife left the house with a smile, and let the mother and son who had a false alarm talk about their own words.
In the thatched hut, Fang Yu fed his mother hot porridge one by one, and the mother and son talked.
"It's good that people come back safely, I really want to thank the three brothers of the Xiong family, they still risked their lives to find you today."
Yan Zhengyun spoke weakly and sighed.
"Don't worry, I've already thanked them."
Fang Yu didn't talk about the sinister course of the matter, afraid that his mother would be worried.
When Yan Zhengyun had a little strength after eating the porridge, Fang Yu took out the Blazing Flame Fruit.
"Mother, this spirit fruit is very good for the cold disease in your body, hurry up and take it."
Fang Yu almost lost his life for this Blazing Fruit, if this Spirit Fruit could completely cure his mother's illness, it would be even better.
"Okay, mother listens to you."
Yan Zhengyun looked at his filial son with a kind face, and obeyed the spirit fruit according to his words.
As soon as the Blazing Fruit entered her mouth, it suddenly turned into a warm current, surging all over her body, and in a short period of time, her face turned a lot ruddy, and her limbs were no longer so cold.
"Great! Mother, continue to eat. ”
There were two Blazing Fruits in total, and when Fang Yu saw that the effect was obvious, he immediately handed out another one.
"This other one, send it to your Aunt Wang."
Yan Zhengyun shook his head in refusal.
"But ......"
Fang Yu understood what his mother meant, but he was a little hesitant.
"The cold disease in my mother's body has been for many years, this spirit fruit treats the symptoms but not the root cause, your father asked a famous doctor to see it, saying that this disease can only be cured by wizards and adults, not eating a few more spirit fruits to be effective. Your aunt Wang is about to give birth, and she is most afraid of the cold palace, and her body and bones must be well recuperated, and this spiritual fruit has a lot of benefits for her. Your father and I have taught you since childhood, and you know how to do it. ”
Yan Zhengyun said, there is a kind of beautiful demeanor of everyone from a famous family when she speaks.
