In this deep mountain and old forest, there is no way to cultivate and plant, and all food and drink are obtained by hunting once a month.

The lively scene was a little cold, and the old man who spoke before said again: "Our Dashan Village is not unsympathetic and impersonal, but you all know that the food obtained by our village every hunt is now a little insufficient, and there is more than this child, who will be responsible for raising him in the future?" The three of us discussed it and decided to take him with us the next time we went to town, to see if we could send him to a store to help him, which would also give him a way to live. ”

"Yes, yes, what the third uncle said is right, it's just right to do this."

"I think that's it, take him with me next time I go to town."

"We can be regarded as benevolent and righteous, otherwise in the deep mountains and old forests, maybe he would have been eaten by the beasts a long time ago."

The villagers all nodded their heads again and again, obviously agreeing with this suggestion.

"This ...... I'm afraid it's not good, we all know what kind of goods the old men who opened shops in the town are, if this child is sent to them, I'm afraid this life will be ruined. Li Daaxe said with a frown.

"So what are you going to do? One more child like this will have one more mouth, we are almost full of food, what to raise him. The old man's tone was a little cold, obviously very dissatisfied with Li Daaxe's decision to question them, "I know that you have a lot of credit for this hunt, but you can't be so reckless, or are you going to adopt him?" ”

"I ...... Okay, I'll raise it, it's not just a child, how much can he eat. Li Daaxe said a little unconvinced.

"Humph! Well, since you want to raise him, then it's up to you! The three old men brushed their sleeves away.

"Brother Li, why are you so impulsive, this extra mouth is a big burden."

"The three uncles are highly respected, and their hearts are also for our good, why are you angry with them."

"Alas, the burden on your body will be heavier in the future."

A group of people came over and said a few words, and the crowd slowly dispersed.

"Don't be afraid of the big axe, I think it's good! That kid is good-looking, and there is only one girl in your family, so I just left him to be a son-in-law in the future for the two of you, hehe! Hei San walked over with the woman and child, grabbed the former's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Go to your house at noon to have a drink, I will pick the wine made from wild fruits by myself, and drink a sip of flower snake soup by the way." ”

Li Daaxe smiled innocently, "Okay, let's go!" ”

The corners of Dubu's mouth grinned, but he was slightly moved in his heart, and then turned around and walked towards Li Daaxe's house.

At noon, I ate quite a hearty meal, ate a wild boar leg alone, plus some roe deer meat, and drank three bowls of flower snake soup, and then gave up.

After the former left, Hei San said a little speechlessly: "Good girl, this kid is not big, he can really eat, you have to work harder to raise him in the future." ”

Walking out of the room, on the grinding disc on the edge of the vegetable patch in the backyard, he sat down cross-legged and began to pound the seal in his body again.

Zuo Mo's old thief's seal is full of cracks at the moment, and the sooner it is broken, the more secure it is.

He sat for several hours, and it was not until the beginning of the night that he slowly got up and walked into the room.

"It's a small step, come and eat." Li Daaxe's wife is a woman in her early thirties, ordinary in appearance, but always with a warm smile on her face.

"Hmm." Dubu nodded, every time he hit the seal, it would cause a lot of consumption to his body, and there was no way to absorb the yuan power at the moment, so he could only eat more to replenish his body.

"I'm full, go back to my room and rest first." He put down the dishes and chopsticks and walked back to the room.

"Daddy, Brother Dubu is so good to eat." Li Cai'er stuck out her tongue and whispered.

"Don't talk too much, go back to your room and sleep when you're full."

Li Caier pursed her lips, but obediently put down the dishes and chopsticks and went back to the room.

"Big axe, what can I do if this kid is so able to eat? I'm afraid the things our family got from this hunt are only enough for this month's rations. Mrs. Li's face showed a little embarrassment and said in a low voice.

"Alas, I can't just watch him being sent to the town and abused by those black-hearted shopkeepers, I really can't go into the mountains next time I hunt, don't worry about it." Li Daaxe sighed and said.

Mrs. Li nodded silently, but there was a hint of melancholy in her eyes.

A month from now, today is the date for the big mountain village to go hunting again.

"Big Axe, your family divided so many things last time, why did you go into the mountains this time?"

"That is, 100 catties of wild boar, 50 catties of roe deer meat, and wild geese and flower snakes, which are enough for your family to eat for more than two months."

"Hehe, you don't know yet, the child adopted by the big axe last time is a big stomach, and one person can eat more than us adult men, tsk, this is really a big burden!"

A group of men who were about to travel talked and laughed in a low voice, and their eyes were also very pitying when they looked at Li Daaxe.

"Big Axe, what about the kid you adopted, you didn't tell him that today is our hunting day, and you didn't come to see you off." Hei San muttered a little dissatisfied.

Li Daaxe smiled innocently, "I told him at dinner last night, maybe I forgot it, and it's not a big deal." ”

"I think you have to teach him a good lesson, lest you raise a white-eyed wolf in the future."

When the auspicious time came, the men of Dashan Village waved their hands at their women and children and entered the mountain along the path.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

"Mother, today Daddy, Third Uncle Hei, they should be able to come back, I don't know if Daddy can hunt another demon beast this time, you don't know, since Daddy hunted a wind wolf last time, Huzi They don't dare to bully me when they see me now." Li Caier helped Li's wife turn over the ground and plant some wild vegetables in the back of the yard, with indescribable pride in her voice.

"Don't talk nonsense, it's better not to touch this demon beast, people's safety is the most important thing." Mrs. Li's face was a little uneasy, I don't know why, she felt a little frightened all day today.

Li Cai'er stuck out her tongue, looked at the melancholy on her mother's face, and didn't dare to answer, but her eyes swept over the figure on the grinding plate not far away, and her little face was suddenly full of indignation, "This guy is so hateful, he eats so much every day, and he doesn't help with any work, he just sits there all day!" ”

"Cai'er!" Mrs. Li pulled her and was about to speak, when there was a sudden cheer outside.

"It's back, it's back! The hunting party is back! ”

Li's wife's face suddenly showed a little joy, and she pulled Li Cai'er and ran out, "Hurry up, your father and they are back." ”

Behind the two of them, Du Bu suddenly opened his eyes on the grinding plate, and a flash of essence flashed in them, "Bloody smell...... His brows furrowed together, and he suddenly got up and walked towards the entrance of the village.

"Ah, Big Axe, Big Axe, what's wrong with you?"

Li's wife and Li Cai'er were lying on a simple stretcher and cried bitterly.

On the stretcher, Li Daaxe fell into a coma with a pale face, the thin quilt covering his body was covered with brown precipitated blood, and the calf of his left leg was empty, obviously useless.

"Sister-in-law, I'm sorry for you, Brother Big Axe, he was bitten off his left leg by the Black Mountain Pig in order to save me!" Hei San knelt on the ground, this dark-faced man couldn't help crying at this moment.

The Black Mountain Pig is the king of wild boars, and strictly speaking, it can almost be classified into the range of second-order demon beasts.

The villagers of Dashan Village are also sad in their eyes at the moment, and they feel sad that the rabbit is dead and the fox is sad, and they may be the ones who lie here next time......

"It's okay, isn't it just a waste of a leg, it's a blessing to survive, don't cry anymore." Li Daaxe leaned against the wall, his face was extremely pale due to excessive blood loss, but he pretended to say in a relaxed tone.

Mrs. Li wiped her tears and wanted to laugh, but the tears flowed down again. In this village deep in the mountains and old forests, the man in the family is the heaven of the top beam, Li Daaxe is abolished, and the future situation of their family can be imagined.

Li Daaxe's face was also gloomy, and the whole family was suddenly shrouded in a gloomy mist.

When the prey was distributed the next day, the village deliberately allocated some more food to the Li family, and Li's wife took it home with tears.

For the first ten days, Li Daaxe stayed in bed, the pain of his broken leg made him quite depressed, his expression was not as cheerful as before, his body quickly lost weight, and Li's wife and Li Caier also cried all day long.

It wasn't until the fifteenth day that Li Daaxe left the door for the first time on crutches.

"I went to the east of the village to learn iron from Uncle Chen, Uncle Chen is old, I happen to be in his class, although I can't go up the mountain to hunt, but people still have to eat."

Seeing that Li Daaxe cheered up, Li's wife was naturally very happy and cooked a good meal at noon.

Dubu ate at least two adult men's meals as usual, said sorry and got up and went to the backyard to continue breaking the seal, behind Li Daaxe opened his mouth, but in the end he still didn't speak.

Night!

"Big axe, this kid doesn't do anything in our house, he just sits on the grinding plate in the backyard in a daze every day, what can I do? In the past, our family had you on top, and we could barely get by, but now that you are like this, if you continue, we can't afford to support him. ”

"Then what do you want to do, since I have taken him next, I will definitely raise him, and I can't send him to the town again."

"I mean, see if you can let him follow you to learn to strike iron, you are physically inconvenient, he can help you do something."

"Okay, then I'll talk to him tomorrow."

The voice gradually deepened, and it was obvious that Li Daaxe and his wife had fallen asleep.

Dubu closed his eyes, did not sleep, and began to impact the seal in his body again, the seal that was originally full of cracks, under the continuous impact of his time, a small crack also slowly appeared.

After breakfast the next day, he didn't use Li Daaxe to speak, but took the initiative to speak and went with him to help in the blacksmith's shop.

Li Daaxe nodded with satisfaction.

In the lone room, a thin figure sat cross-legged on the grass bed, his face pale, faintly revealing a little pain.

"Hmm!"

The figure suddenly snorted, and there were even drops of blood flowing from the corners of his mouth, but in his open eyes, a look of surprise flashed!
