Unconsciously, Ye Zheng stayed in Niujia Village for five days, in these five days, under the meticulous care of the kind Aunt Chen, his body had already recovered, and in these five days of getting along, their family seemed to treat themselves as a family. Therefore, whenever Aunt Chen cared for him to ask for warmth and chatter, he always had an illusion, feeling as if his long-dead mother was back by his side.

In the past few days, the big tiger and the little tiger still go into the mountains to hunt and set up traps every day, and when they catch some prey, they go to the market to sell some silver, and then exchange for some rice and grain materials to use at home, and the life is simple and plain. Whenever the big tiger and the little tiger went into the mountain to hunt, Ye Zheng always wanted to go with them, but Aunt Chen saw that Ye Zheng was thin and weak, and was afraid that he would have an accident on the mountain, so she always did not allow him and the big tiger brothers to go up the mountain, for this, Ye Zheng felt very sorry. But Aunt Chen's family doesn't seem to care about this, but as time goes by, Ye Zheng is getting more and more embarrassed, originally Ye Zheng has just come to this strange world, he is not familiar with life, and he finally met such a kind-hearted good person, he can't let others suffer, so he has been trying to find a way to repay them.

After all, his life was saved by this kind person, and the food and accommodation here are all people's, besides, this Aunt Chen's mother and son's family does not seem to be rich, it can be said that they are quite poor, since they can't repay them with money now, but there are still a few pistols and hundreds of bullets on their bodies, it's a big deal to help them shoot more prey these days, if you want to hunt, the hunters in this Niujia Village are definitely not as good as themselves, after all, no matter how powerful their bows and arrows are, they can't compare with their pistols.

When the time comes, when I enter the mountains, I take out my pistol and shoot a few wild boars, wild bears or other large prey, it is not a matter of hand-to-hand, when I think that I am in the mountains and forests, in front of the two brothers, the big tiger and the little tiger, shoot and kill a few wild boars and wild bears without much effort, and the two boys will definitely be stunned and stunned.

Thinking of this, Ye Zheng couldn't help but secretly calculate, he had to find a better excuse to let the big tiger and the little tiger take him up the mountain to hunt, and only by helping them hunt more prey could he compensate their family for their kindness to him these days.

This morning, Ye Zheng and Aunt Chen's family had just finished breakfast, and they saw the two brothers of the big tiger and the little tiger packing up their bows and arrows and guns, and they looked like they were about to go into the mountains to hunt, at this time, Ye Zheng immediately went to the kitchen Aunt Chen, ready to persuade her with the words that had been prepared in her heart, hoping that she could let the big tiger and the little tiger take her into the mountains to hunt, far away, through the gap in the wall of the simple kitchen house, Ye Zheng could see Aunt Chen's thin back brushing the dishes, and from time to time she could hear her coughing.

"Ahem, ahem!"

Suddenly, I saw Aunt Chen's back hunched, her whole body trembling, coughing very violently, and then, Ye Zheng only heard a rapid wheezing sound, Aunt Chen's thin back fell to the ground softly, and an earthy porcelain bowl also fell to the ground under her shackles, "bang", and shattered.

Seeing this scene, Ye Zheng's heart twitched suddenly, and he felt bad, and immediately rushed into the kitchen, only to see that Aunt Chen who fell to the ground was pale, without a trace of blood, and his eyes were quite dull, at that moment, Ye Zheng held Aunt Chen who fell to the ground in his arms, and said in shock: "Aunt Chen, Aunt Chen, what's wrong with you?"

Ye Zheng even called out a few times, but Aunt Chen still didn't react at all, he was in a hurry at the moment, and hurriedly shouted outside: "Big Tiger, Little Tiger, it's not good! Your mother suddenly fainted......

The big tiger and the little tiger heard Ye Zheng's shout, and his face was as frightened as dirt on the spot, and after throwing away everything in his hand, he ran towards the kitchen house with "ping pong".

At this time, Ye Zheng saw that their brothers looked like six gods and no masters, and shouted loudly on the spot: "What are you two brothers still stunned, why don't you hurry up and find a doctor!"

As soon as the two brothers ate and drank him, they came to their senses, and Xiaohu immediately rushed out of the house in a hurry, looking at the appearance that he was probably going to ask for a doctor. Dahu didn't go with his younger brother, but carefully carried his mother to the bed with Ye Zheng to settle down, and carefully watched over her beside him.

Looking at the big tiger with tears in his eyes and a sad expression, Ye Zheng felt uncomfortable in his heart, and asked in a low voice at the moment: "Big tiger, what kind of disease did your mother have, and why did the disease develop so quickly and severely?"

Dahu wiped his tears, and said with a whimper: "I don't know what kind of disease my mother is suffering from, she has fainted a few times before, because there has been no money for treatment, which has caused my mother's condition to become more and more serious, woo...... It's all because I'm useless, I can't hunt more prey in exchange for money to treat my mother's illness, woo...... I'm useless. ”

As he spoke, when he remembered his mother's illness and was unable to do anything about it, Dahu suddenly cried bitterly, and Ye Zheng, who was standing on the side, was panicked, so he had to force a smile to comfort him, persuading him not to worry, saying that after the doctor came, Aunt Chen's condition would definitely improve.

After a while, Xiaohu came over with an old man, the old man's name was Niu Shuigen, more than seventy years old, gray beard, and he was also a person from Niujia Village, because he knew some medical skills, so if anyone in the village had any pain, he would invite him to come to the doctor.

After Niu Shuigen checked Aunt Chen's illness, he shook his head again and again, saying that he could not do anything, he signaled Dahu Xiaohu to go to Qingshan Town, ten miles away, to go to the Huichun Hall in the town, and invite a doctor to come over for diagnosis and treatment, because the doctors in the Huichun Hall have much better medical skills than him, but the diagnosis and medicine fees collected by the Huichun Hall are relatively expensive, so before going, it is best to prepare some more money, otherwise, the doctors of the Huichun Hall will not come with him for diagnosis and treatment. Before leaving, because Niu Shuigen sympathized with their family's difficult situation, Niu Shuigen also specially gave dozens of copper coins and a big tiger for their brothers to take for Aunt Chen's medical treatment.

After sending Niu Shuigen away, the big tiger and the little tiger began to borrow money from neighbors and villagers in the village, because the people in Niujia Village were very poor, so they did not raise much money, and in the end, they carefully calculated, and only borrowed a total of eight hundred and forty copper coins, which is equivalent to less than one tael of silver.

After getting the money, Dahu immediately asked Xiaohu to go to Qingshan Town as soon as possible, and go to the Huichun Hall to ask the doctor to come over to treat his mother. And he and Ye Zheng stayed behind to take care of Aunt Chen who was in a coma.

After a few hours of long and anxious waiting, Xiaohu finally brought back the doctor of the Rejuvenation Hall, and after the doctor looked at Aunt Chen's illness, he frowned and applied acupuncture to treat it, and sure enough, under the doctor's acupuncture, Aunt Chen's condition improved significantly, and gradually woke up.

When Dahu Xiaohu and Ye Zheng saw this scene, they were overjoyed, and they were all grateful for the doctor's admiration.

After the doctor from the Huichun Hall finished the consultation, he collected 500 wen for the consultation and left with the consultation box on his back. Before leaving, the doctor also gave Dahu a prescription, and asked the two brothers to go to the Rejuvenation Hall to grab the medicine in strict accordance with this prescription, take it twice a day, and after a month of decoction, Aunt Chen's condition will improve.

After thanking the doctor, the big tiger brothers didn't know a few words, so they took the prescription and asked Niu Shuigen to look at it for them to see what medicinal materials needed to be caught.

After Niu Shuigen read the prescription, he sighed helplessly and told them the medicinal materials on the prescription.

It turned out that the medicinal materials on the prescription were all relatively valuable medicinal materials, and when converted, a serving of herbs had to be at least more than 500 Wen, two doses a day, and decoction for a month, which would cost a total of 30,000 Wen, which was equivalent to more than 30 taels of silver.

Thirty taels! For Aunt Chen's family, it is undoubtedly an astronomical amount that will never be enough to save. Thirty taels, in this era, thirty taels of silver is enough for a family of three to live for five years, so after Dahu learned of this result, he suddenly fell into despair. You must know that the money obtained by the two brothers after a month of hunting is only a few hundred yuan, and a lot of money can be used to catch a dose of medicine for their mother, these thirty taels, how can they get it.

After Ye Zheng saw the big tiger and the little tiger brothers come back, the two of them looked sad, and after asking everything, they immediately comforted: "You two brothers don't be too sad, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and the solution is always thought of by people, isn't it just thirty taels of silver, let's go into the mountain to hunt more prey." ”

Xiaohu lowered his head and said in frustration: "Brother Ye, I know that you are comforting us, but the prey we can catch is those hares, Pheasants and the like are worthless goods, those small prey are not worth a few pennies, even if you are lucky enough to hit a roe deer fox or something, you can sell it for dozens or hundreds of pennies, but that is also by luck, not every time you can hit it, because our bow and arrow power is limited, it is good to deal with some small prey, once you encounter those larger prey, then there is no lethality, often even if you shoot the prey, but they will let them escape, hey......"

The big tiger listened to the little tiger's words, and didn't say anything, but just lowered his head helplessly.

Ye Zheng secretly thought, with your few tattered bows and arrows, it is indeed impossible to hit those large prey, but with me, it is different, my brother has a gun, no matter what kind of wild boar and tiger it is, or a roe deer black bear or something, as long as it meets my brother, it will definitely be a dead end. Besides, if you hit these large prey, it is worth much more than the hares and pheasants you hunt, as long as you hunt a few black bears and tigers or something, then Aunt Chen's money for treatment and medicine will be gone.

Thinking of this, Ye Zheng asked: "Where do you have more prey here, it is best to have wild boars, wild wolves, black bears and tigers." ”

Dahu listened and said casually: "In our area of Qingshan Town, if you want to say that the place where the most prey appears and the largest volume, it is the Black Bear Valley, but that place is very dangerous, and none of the hunters within a radius of dozens of miles dare to go to the Black Bear Ditch to hunt." ”

Hearing him say this, Ye Zheng's eyes lit up, and he said loudly at the moment: "Okay, then how about we go hunting in Black Bear Gully?"

The big tiger was shocked, and he wanted to speak again, but before he could say it, the little tiger who was squatting on the ground suddenly stood up, and a resolute look flashed in his eyes. "Brother Ye is right, if we want to buy medicine for my mother, we can only go to the black bear ditch to take a risk, you must know that there are often wild boars and wolves there, if we can hit a wild wolf, how can we beat dozens of hares. ”

Dahu was still hesitating, but after listening to Xiaohu's words at this time, he decided to take a risk and go to the Black Bear Gully together to see if he could try his luck and hunt a valuable prey. ”

The next morning, Dahu originally wanted Ye Zheng to take care of Aunt Chen for them at home, and he and his younger brother went to Heixionggou to risk hunting, but Ye Zheng didn't agree, so he had to follow the two Dahu brothers into the mountain together.

Along the way, Dahu always reminded Ye Zheng that he must follow closely behind their brothers, otherwise the two brothers would not be able to protect him, in their opinion, Ye Zheng's coming does not seem to bring any help to their brothers, and if they encounter prey, it may be a burden. However, it is impossible for the big tiger brothers to tell Ye Zheng that these words know, after all, people are willing to risk their own lives for the sake of their mother's illness, and this affection alone is worthy of the gratitude of the two brothers. Therefore, regardless of whether Ye Zheng can help them or not, their brothers have to take care of Ye Zheng at all.

Ye Zheng saw the expressions of the big tiger and the little tiger, as if he was following them into the mountain to make trouble, and said that he should protect himself thoroughly, and he couldn't help but laugh secretly in his heart, and said secretly: "Wait a while, who will protect who is not necessarily thorough? Wait a minute, we have to take out a pistol and let you see what a real hunter is." ”
