Chapter 4: Change

There are unpredictable circumstances in the sky, and people have good and bad luck; Just as life is happy, it suddenly changes. Relentless floods have struck and homes are cloudy; The plague was epidemic in the villages, and countless deaths were made in the neighborhood. The mountains are full of mourning, and the roads are full of white bones.

It is said that when Yue Fei was seven years old, Mr. Wang left Xiaoyi. In order to let his son learn more things, Yue He discussed with his neighbors and decided to hire another Gao Ming.

In the autumn of this year, the Yonghe Township area suffered a flood disaster rarely seen in history. The crops were drowned by the floods, and there was no harvest. After the floods, there was a plague epidemic, and no one survived. Although Xiaoyili is located in the middle of nowhere, it is difficult to escape the doom.

Yue He unfortunately contracted the plague, and in order to prevent his wife and children from being infected, Yue He would rather die than let his wife and children get close to him and take care of himself.

After the autumn, there is no harvest, and life is unsustainable, let alone cure. Every day in filial piety, someone was taken away by the plague, and every day there was constant crying and mourning.

Although the young Yue Fei was helpless in the face of the plague, he could see the fear in people's hearts from the desperate eyes of the villagers, and he was deeply affected by the strong impact in his heart.

"It would be great if we could save the lives of the villagers! It's a pity that I'm too young now to understand anything, and when I grow up, I must study medicine to help the world and save people. Yue Fei pondered in his heart.

In the blink of an eye, more than a month, ten rooms and nine empty rooms in the lively and peaceful filial piety, Xiao Kill is desolate. People have either left their homes to flee the wilderness, or the plague has taken their lives.

Yue He saw that his limit had arrived, in order not to affect his wife and children, he secretly walked out of the house and came to the small river next to the village, and saw the river flowing slowly, he thought of Yue Teng, remembered the situation when he put Yue Teng into the river, and remembered what the old monk said.

"Teng'er, where are you? How are you doing now? It's not that your father is ruthless, it's that you really have a last resort, I hope you don't blame your father and mother when you grow up. Daddy has come to make amends for you. Fei'er, you have to listen to your mother's words well, study hard, and be a useful person, our Yue's family will rely on you for the glory of the ancestors. Dad is incompetent, can no longer send you to school, can no longer guard your mother and son, in the future you have to be filial to your mother, Dad hopes that you brothers can get together and recognize each other, can soar. In this way, my father was also blinded when he died. When Yue He thought of this, tears welled up like springs, and his heart was like a wave.

"I can't drag them down any longer, I have to make up my mind. There is no cure for my disease, and sooner or later I will die, so it is better to die early and be relieved sooner. Thinking of this, Yue He closed his eyes and jumped into the river.

Anyway, when Xiao Yue Fei came to his father's room, he wanted to say hello, but who knew that his father was missing. He hurriedly ran to ask his mother: "Mother, where is my father?" Is he getting better? Why don't you lie in bed anymore? ”

As soon as Mrs. Yue saw that her husband was not lying in bed, she knew that something was wrong, and that her husband might have committed suicide.

"Fei'er, look carefully and see if your father has left a letter, even if it's just a few words." Mother-in-law said.

Yue Fei listened, and returned to the back room, he looked around for his father's letters, but he searched through the cabinets and found no letters.

"Oh no, is your dad going to the river? He's been haunted by your brother's affairs, and maybe he's repenting by the river at this time. He knew that his illness was not good, and he was afraid that it would affect our mother and son, so he ...... "My mother-in-law was anxious when she said this.

"Fei'er, let's go to the river and have a look, your father may kill himself, maybe it's too late to go earlier." The mother-in-law hurriedly walked out of the house, and Xiao Yuefei followed her mother and trotted all the way to the river.

There is no shadow of Yue He by the river, only a corpse floating on the river, and it is likely to be Yue He dressed up.

Yue Fei and his mother couldn't swim, so they could only stare dryly by the river.

"Mother, don't worry, I have my own way." Yue Fei hurriedly ran home, took a long rope and tied the hook sickle, stood by the river and held the end of the rope in his left hand, and shook it with the hook and sickle in his right hand, the hook and sickle hooked the deceased's clothes, and the mother and son pulled the body to the shore with force, and at a glance, it was Yue He.

"Dad, why are you so stupid? You left our mother and son and left quietly, what do you tell us to do in the future? Daddy, wake up! Dad-" Yue Fei cried and wiped away his tears.

Mrs. Yue remembered that her husband had left quietly like this, and she was very sad, and she wanted to go to Huangquan Road with her husband, but she remembered that the seven-year-old little Yue Fei needed to be taken care of and cultivated, so she had to endure her sorrow.

"Fei'er, your father is gone, he can't wake up, we who are alive must be strong, and we must continue to live. The reason why your father did this was because he didn't want to drag us down, he was going to die sooner or later, so he went this way, and saved him a lot of pain. Child, don't cry, we will bury your father well, and we will give him an explanation. There's still a long way to go, and we're going to have to get through. The mother-in-law comforted.

Xiao Yue Fei is a filial child, he listened to his mother's words, and understood a lot in his heart, he didn't want his mother to be sad and sad anymore, he wanted to serve his mother well and be a sensible child.

"Mother, don't worry, I will listen to you well in the future, be a good child, and be a promising child. When I grow up, I will definitely do a great job, glorify my ancestors, and live up to your and my father's ardent expectations for me. Xiao Yue Fei wiped away the tears on his face and said strongly.

The mother-in-law was very relieved when she heard this.

The mother and son took a lot of effort to dig a pit and bury Yue He. The two of them put incense on the grave and burned some paper money, and Xiao Yue Fei knelt in front of the grave and kowtowed nine times in a row.

"Dad, rest in peace under the nine springs of your old man! I have grown up, I will take good care of myself, be filial to my mother, and be a person who can make great achievements. I will never fail to live up to your expectations of me. Also, when I find my younger brother Yue Teng, I will bring him to your grave to worship, you can rest assured, I will definitely fulfill your wishes. Yue Fei made a promise in front of his father's grave, but unfortunately this promise was not fulfilled in the future, and all he brought to his father was bad news.

"Fei'er, now this place in Xiaoyi has become a hell on earth, we can't live here anymore, we have to find another way." The mother-in-law said after a moment's silence.

"Mother, I listen to your arrangement, I will accompany you wherever you go. I'll be with you along the way. Yue Fei readily agreed.

"Then let's go to Qilin Village first, it's my mother's hometown." Mother-in-law proposed.

"Qilin Village, good name, good place, I like it." Yue Fei said excitedly.
