Huineng led Uncle Lin and Xiaoshanzi back to the inn, helped Huineng's mother to the little donkey, and carried it to Henglingang outside Guangzhou, where they lived in an idle thatched hut.

Uncle Lin said hello, and some of the villagers lent a pot, and some helped a few bowls, piecing together everything, as if they had the appearance of a home. To Huineng's surprise, her mother actually took out some broken silver from the placket of her clothes. You know, they are already penniless, and it is precisely because they have no money to take medicine that Huineng sells themselves!

Li said lightly: "In case of desperation and starvation, this is the life-saving money left for Huineng." ”

This is the mother, who would rather die of illness due to the lack of medicine herself, but also leave a way for her son to live.

"Mother's ......" Huineng's heart was rolling, and tears came out of his eyes......

The next day, Huineng and Lin Shanzi went into the mountains to collect firewood, and then picked it up in the city to sell it and bought back some rice and noodles.

As Uncle Lin expected, after leaving the unfamiliar city and settling down in the familiar countryside, life has been settled, and Li's illness has improved. In just a few days, not only was he able to get out of bed and move, but like the women in the village, he picked up some needlework from the city to support the family.

Huineng was confused by his mother's illness and the miracle of healing without medicine, and couldn't help but fall into a deep thought that did not match his age:

Her mother's health was originally fine, however, when she learned that Wen Tingshi died suddenly, she was full of hope, and her hundreds of miles of travel were in vain, and besides, in this unfamiliar Guangzhou, their mother and son's lives suddenly disappeared. So, under the sudden impact of huge psychological pressure, she immediately fell ill and struggled on the verge of death for several days, almost dying. And since settling down in Henglingang, I haven't taken a single medicine, but my mother's body has healed inexplicably, as if she had never been sick. It's all dreamlike, but it's real. If the illness is illusory, it almost killed the mother; And if it is real, why can it be cured without treatment?

He couldn't figure it out, so he didn't bother with it anymore. However, this suspicion is like a faint white cloud, which has been floating faintly in Huineng's heart.

The woodcutter's life was dull and toiling, lonely and monotonous, and he was paid very little. Because it is a livelihood that does not require capital and can be done with strength alone, many poor families who are desperate and have no place to live make a living make a living from it. There are many people who chop firewood, and the price of firewood is of course cheap. It can be said that the silver in the woodcutter's hand is condensed in sweat.

Huineng has an old mother, and he is in this unrelated foreign land, with no land outside to grow crops, and no surplus grain to wrap up hunger, and the mother and wife are counting on him to chop wood for rice every day to make ends meet. If he had cut less firewood, he would have less rice, and his mother and he would have to go hungry. Therefore, he fetched firewood desperately every day, using the last bit of strength to carry the firewood to the market, and tried to sell it by all means......

However, it was his heart that was most tired. He is a minor child, who has picked up the burden of life prematurely, an innocent childlike heart, has been weathered, suffered, experienced too many ups and downs, and has become extremely deep and dignified. His face lost the innocence of a teenager.

Shanzi said: "Huineng, are you born to be a taciturn little old man? ”

Huineng said in his heart: Alas, Shanzi, although you are also collecting firewood, you are just subsidizing your family. You have a father, and you don't expect you to fill the rice jar at home. If you have not only a pair of firewood on your shoulders, but also the livelihood of your family, can you still be so carefree?

Time is like an arrow, the sun and the moon are like a shuttle, and in three years, Huineng has grown into a twelve-year-old boy. He didn't grow much taller, and his body bones were very thin, but his strength was almost the same as Lin Shanzi, who was a year older than him and a head taller.

One day, Huineng and Shanzi went into the city to sell firewood, and just walked out of the market, they suddenly heard a commotion on the street:

"Horse startled, get out of the way!"

"Hide to the side of the road, the carriage is coming!"

They looked up and saw a crazy wagon in the distance running rampant, speeding toward them. Shanzi and Huineng hurriedly avoided the roadside, their backbones clinging to the root of the wall. The horses galloped wildly, unstoppable, and in front of the rolling wheels, the flesh and blood of people seemed so fragile that Hui Neng wanted to turn their entire bodies into a piece of tissue paper, or simply sink into the wall.

The speeding carriage drew closer and closer, and the stalls on the side of the road were smashed to pieces and scattered. The startled horse galloped along the streets, and if anyone could not avoid it, wouldn't it ...... Hui Neng turned his head to look behind him worriedly. Oh my God, a mother and daughter came out of an alley, and they didn't seem to notice anything unusual on the street, still strolling down the street. Huineng hurriedly shouted at the top of his voice: "Quick, dodge, the carriage is startled!" ”

At the same time, many people found the mother and daughter and exclaimed in unison. However, when the mother and daughter looked up and saw a crazy carriage rushing towards them at high speed, they were terrified, and instead of jumping to the side of the road to avoid it, they hugged each other in fear and screamed......

"Ah, that's my sister!"

My sister's family also lives in Henglingang, and Huineng goes into the mountains every day to collect firewood, although she often hears Shanzi talk about it, but she doesn't see her much.

Shanzi screamed in surprise and ran towards them, trying to push them away, to the side of the road, out of danger......

However, it's too late! Despite his desperate efforts, despite his desperate running, he couldn't be faster than the speeding wheels anyway......

The top priority is to stop the galloping horses!

At this critical moment, Huineng saw a beam along the side of the street, and without thinking about it, he picked up the beam and put it across the street......

The startled horse suddenly saw the obstacle in front of him, neighed, jumped with his front hooves, stood up, his speed suddenly decreased, and the wheels were still rolling forward under the huge inertia, but after hitting the beams, the volley flew up, and the whole carriage rolled on its side......

After the crisis, Huineng and Shanzi used all their strength to barely lift the thick beam. It was with the help of the adults that it was brought back to its original place. Shanzi felt very strange, he was snorting and panting, while looking Huineng up and down, and asked in surprise: "Huineng, did you pick it up alone just now?" ”

"Of course."

"But this beam is so heavy, how did you alone carry it across the road in an instant?"

"How do I know?" Huineng said strangely.

"Hey, you don't know who knows? Could it be that the beams of the house themselves are not able to cross the street? ”

"This ......" Hui Neng scratched her head, unable to explain the incredible thing herself.

"Oh, I see!" Shanzi suddenly slapped his thigh and said, "I heard the story say: Heroes save beauty, and the potential is endless." So ......"

Huineng's face was swollen red, and he hurriedly retorted: "What nonsense, you! ”

"Hurry, isn't it? This proves that I was right. Shanzi pulled Huineng's face with his fingers and said, "Ouch, are you ashamed?" Seeing that other people's little girls are good-looking, I want to marry someone else as a daughter-in-law, so I ......"

"I'm not familiar with them at all!" Huineng immediately sneered: "You are the one with ulterior motives, as soon as you find out that your sister is in danger, you will run towards them desperately." You don't want to think about how your two little short legs can outrun the four long legs of a startling horse? ”

"Aren't I in a hurry!"
