Chapter 111: The Affection That Can't Be Dissolved
Tossing in the middle of the night, Yuanwei was worried about Li Fulai and his wife, because before leaving, they repeatedly told Yuanwei not to go too far, and he must go home before the sun sets, because they knew that the mountain beasts in the wilderness were raging, and he had no chance of surviving as a lame man.
Surrounded by a group of coyotes, Motowei quickly ran to Shangdian Village.
In the distance, he saw the lights of the village. Motoo was a little puzzled, he knew that in order to prevent the disturbance of the mountain beasts, the villagers would close the doors and windows before dark, and the entire mountain village would disappear into darkness, and it would be impossible to see a little light. Could it be that something is wrong?, Motoo wondered to himself, he waved his hand to disperse the coyotes, and walked towards the entrance of the village alone.
"Everyone is following, don't get separated!" Li Fujing was the leader, and behind him were the young men of the village, each holding a torch in his hand and a sickle and axe or a steel fork and long stick in the other.
"Uncle Fujing, what's wrong, where are you going?" Yuan Wei walked a few steps to meet everyone.
Looking at Yuanwei who appeared from the dark shadow, Li Fujing was stunned for a moment and then ecstatic, he grabbed Yuanwei's shoulder and shouted: "Tiger baby, why did you come back? Why did you come back? Your father and your mother are going crazy at home, everyone is going crazy! No, we are going to look for you! You don't know how powerful the coyotes are outside, wow, the year before last, your third grandfather's house came to the coyotes at night, and there were more than ten goats left! It's really fateful that you can come back!"
More than a dozen young adults in the back also gathered around, and they were glad for Yuanwei.
Motoo was moved, he never thought that there would be a village where all the people were worried about him, and he never thought that he would live in the hearts of so many people.
"Uncle Fujing, I'm really sorry for you. I broke my foot when I was picking medicine, and I came back late, which made everyone worried..."
"Your mother told us that you came out to collect medicine for Sanquan and the people in the village, and we should thank you. Don't talk about this, you come home with us, your mother's eyes are crying like peaches..."
In Li Fulai's small courtyard, the old village chief Li Mawu presided over the overall situation, and arranged who went to find the tiger baby and who went to patrol the village to keep vigil, so as not to let the coyotes and mountain beasts take advantage of the situation. Aunt Li completely ignored the cold of the autumn night and the kind words and persuasion of her neighbors, she sat on a wooden chair with her hair scattered and cried: "This child must be finished, don't comfort me." I know how powerful the coyote is outside, where can he run if he's a cripple?... What a good boy... We don't have that life... Woooooo
Li Fulai sat alone in the corner of the courtyard, smoking a dry tobacco pouch with a loud click...
"I'm back, sister-in-law, I'm back!" Li Fujing's voice was the loudest, and Li Fulai and the others heard his voice from a distance.
"Why did you come back so soon?!Did you really meet the wolves?" Li Fulai's dry tobacco pouch fell to the ground with a thud.
A few younger people went to open the courtyard door, and everyone came in in a crowd, but it was Yuanwei!
"My tiger baby!"
Aunt Li shouted and rushed over, hugged Yuanwei in her arms and cried, it felt like experiencing life and death. And Li Fulai smiled happily, rubbing his hands beside his mother and didn't know what to say.
Yuanwei was at a loss for a while, how could he have felt such a strong parental love. Although Aunt Li is thin, her arms are so warm, so warm that they melt everything in Yuanwei. A hazy image suddenly appeared in Motoo's consciousness: a kind young mother holding a young baby in her arms and humming softly. Who is the young mother, and who is the baby?
Yuanwei pounced in front of Aunt Li: "Mother, aren't I coming back! I lost my foot when I was collecting medicine, and I came back late. ”
Aunt Li finally burst into tears and laughed, she looked at Yuanwei's messy hair, torn coarse cloth shirt and flattened back basket, and felt a little distressed, "Tiger baby, it's really hard for you." ”
"It's not difficult. Mother, look, I picked the hemostatic grass and the bone vine, I decocted this medicine tonight, and I will take it for Sanquan tomorrow, and after three months, I will ensure that Sanquan is as strong as before!"
It was noisy all night, and the next day's Shangdian Village woke up a little late. But when Motowei appeared on the street carrying the medicine jar, the villagers looked at him with more affection and admiration. The eight or nine-year-old boys, who were disgusted by dogs, changed their playful attitude in the past, and followed behind Motowei together and refused to leave.
"Brother Tiger Wa, did you see a coyote last night?"
"Brother Huwa, my father said that you would cure the disease, let me learn from you, you can take me as an apprentice!"
"Brother Tiger Baby, take me with you next time you pick medicine, I'm more flexible than a monkey!"
"Brother Huwa, my mother said that she wanted to tell my uncle's cousin to be your daughter-in-law, but I didn't agree. My cousin is fat and ugly, don't agree. You're a cripple, but you're better looking than all the men in the village!"
...
Yuan Wei smiled and sent them away, and then came to Li Fujing's house. Li Sanquan was lying on the bed a little weakly, and the wound that was stitched up yesterday was a little red and swollen. Yuan Wei was secretly glad that he poured the herbs into Sanquan, and explained the usual care methods to Li Fujing, and then left in the family's thousand thanks.
After Motoo returned smoothly, Shangdian Village returned to its former peace.
Yuan Wei's heart was filled with subtle waves, he tried his best to persuade Li Fulai and his wife to agree to go out to collect medicine again, he needed the opportunity to cultivate alone, he needed to become Xuanhu again, and then little by little he converted He Qing's spiritual power into his own spiritual power.
A few days later, Sanquan's wound was no longer painful, and the bear child, who could not lie down, was scurrying around with the two crutches his father had made for him, barely delaying him to continue to make trouble in the village.
Li Fulai and his wife gradually relented, and agreed that Yuanwei would continue to go out to collect medicine.
Going out again, Motowei brought enough supplies. One of the most important is a thick rope in the back basket. This thick rope was specially prepared by Li Fulai for Yuanwei, and he mixed some wool and sheepskin in addition to the bark and silk linen when weaving, and the rope was so thick for a child's wrist that it was enough to bear the weight of several adults.
Leaving the village, Motoo deliberately sought out a remote, long, narrow and deep valley. On the cliff of the valley, he found a variety of herbs, and even found a hundred-year-old mountain ginseng, but unfortunately the spiritual power here is insufficient, and the mountain ginseng is still mortal after a hundred years of existence.
After collecting enough herbs, Yuan Wei hung the basket on the stone wall, and the next thing he had to do was to turn into a Xuanhu to refine the spiritual power in the spiritual veins.
Recalling the double torture of the physical and divine consciousness he suffered a few days ago, Yuan Wei was a little hesitant, just like the trace of hesitation before drinking medicine in his illness...
"Woo-woo-" Above the valley, a dozen coyotes stared at Motowei.
These coyotes used to be nocturnal in the past, and I don't know why they appear here in broad daylight, perhaps attracted by the majesty of the beastmaster of Motowei?
Yuan Wei suddenly became childlike, and under the noses of the wolves, he pranked himself and pounced forward, and suddenly turned into a colorful tiger that was more than one zhang tall and more than two zhang long.
In this barren land, coyotes are at the top of everything except people. But where have they ever seen such a giant beast, the coyotes scattered in a hurry, leaving only a small dot, crawling in the loess, looking at the headless flies of the Xuanhu at the bottom of the valley, desperately hitting the hard stone wall...
