Chapter 22: Born Parents Again
Xia He and Liu Feng went to the town to deliver medicinal materials very smoothly, originally the two of them wanted to wander around the market and buy some applied things, but Xia He carried the money from selling medicinal materials, and it was not safe for people to come and go in the market, so the two of them did not delay and hurried the carriage home.
The carriage unfortunately encountered robbers on Liujialing, Xia He was in a hurry and ran away with the carriage first, Liu Feng intercepted the robbers, the two sides were about to start a war, Liu Feng was thinking in his heart: It seems that today is more auspicious.
Suddenly, on the cliff of the mountain, there was a loud drink, and a black-faced man stood out, holding a big stone in his hand to smash the thieves down, hulala, and the thieves fled rampantly.
Only then was Liu Feng able to get out and hurriedly ran to chase Xia He's carriage.
So who is the person who rescued Liu Feng on the mountain?
It turned out to be Zhang Shishi, the son of Aunt Zhang, Xia He's neighbor when he lived in Liu's house.
Today is the big gathering in the town, and the old lady called out when the sky was bright and bright: "My son, today is the big gathering in the town, you go to buy some rice, and the family will run out of food." ”
The stone got up quickly, ate a bowl of paste made by the old lady and went out, and before going out, the mother said to the stone: "My mother can't walk anymore, so you can help my mother buy a few feet of flower cloth." ”
The stone asked the old lady: "Mother, why do you buy cloth?" ”
"Xia He is about to give birth, and this has left the Liu family again, the child is lonely and pitiful, and there is no one to prepare the child's application, I will make a dress for the child." Aunt Zhang said with a long sigh.
In this way, Zhang Shi rode a horse and walked the mountain road, and soon arrived in the town.
After buying rice and floral cotton cloth, I slipped to the big market and saw a rattle seller, so I bought a wavy drum and carried it in my arms and rushed back.
The mountain road was rugged, and the stone was walking on the reins, when suddenly he heard a noisy sound under the cliff not far away, and got down on the horse, walked to the edge of the cliff and watched carefully, it turned out that a group of bandits were about to start around a young man.
Zhang Shi couldn't help roaring: "Bold bandits, in broad daylight, dare to rob the people, with grandpa here, I see if you dare to rob it." "When you shout, you will lift the stone and throw it down.
Liujialing this place is two mountains and a ditch, one side is a cliff, since ancient times, such a terrain is a place where soldiers must fight, belongs to the throat road, so, as long as it is a cliff to throw stones down, no one under the mountain is spared, can not run.
In this case, the thieves saw the big black man on the cliff and were not afraid, they all absconded, Zhang Shi saw that Liu Feng was rescued and ran away, and he hurriedly rode home himself.
At this time, Liu Feng caught up with the carriage, turned around and saw the robbers, passing by Liujialing, the robbers did not dare to chase, so they also let the old horse slow down.
Liu Feng watched Xia He holding the yellow cloth pocket and didn't let go, and asked with a smile, "Are you still afraid?" You are so witty and courageous, I admire you! After the catastrophe, Liu Feng was also shocked into a cold sweat.
At this time, Xia He said: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have left you, if it weren't for the fear that the thieves would rob the money from selling medicinal herbs in my hand, I would fight with them!" Xia He said apologetically.
"Thanks to you running first, if you don't run first, I'll protect you, then I'm afraid neither of us will be able to escape." Liu Feng said.
Liu Feng told Xia He about Zhang Shi's rescue of him, and Xia He said again and again: "It's so dangerous, thanks to Brother Shi catching up, I really have to thank people when I go back." ”
As he was saying this, Xia He felt a faint pain in his lower abdomen, Liu Feng saw that Xia He's eyebrows were twisted together, and his little face was wrinkled and painful, and he hurriedly asked, "Xia He, what's wrong with you, is there something uncomfortable?" ”
"My stomach hurts, I can't stand it! It hurts me! At this time, I saw a large drop of sweat slipping down Xia He's head.
Liu Feng was so frightened that he hurriedly parked the carriage on the side of the road and asked anxiously, "Xia He, are you okay, were you frightened just now?" "Liu Feng is really scared, this Xia He will not forgive himself if he really has a mistake.
After the car stopped for a while, Xia He felt that his stomach was not so painful, and said to Liu Feng, who was anxious: "It's okay, you don't have to be afraid, the child will be born in more than a month, and it won't be born now, let's go home!" ”
Hearing Xia He say this, Liu Feng's hanging heart relaxed: "It's okay!" Then let's hurry back! So he whipped his horse and went back to Liujiazhuang.
Back in the village, Xia He distributed the silver coins of several people in the village who were digging medicinal herbs with them on the mountain.
Looking at the remaining money, Xia He couldn't be happier, this was the first successful business since he was reborn.
However, when I thought of meeting a thief on the ridge today, I really felt afraid, this is really going to rob you of all the money, but how to explain it to everyone, thanks to Liu Feng and Zhang Shi.
Thinking of this, Xia He got up and wanted to go to Aunt Zhang's house to thank Zhang Shi for his rescue, but he couldn't just go empty-handed to thank people, thinking that he was going to buy two boxes of snacks for Aunt Zhang today, but he didn't buy them.
Suddenly thinking of the last time I bought some rice, I got up when I thought of this, poured out a small pot of rice from the rice bag and kept it for myself, and the remaining half of the bag was tied to the mouth of the bag and walked to Aunt Zhang's house.
Before I got to the eldest mother's house, I saw Liu Li and the girl cooking from a distance packing up their things at the door of the small corner of the firewood room in the backyard. Xia He didn't want to see this vicious person, but he had come here, and he couldn't go back, so he should simply go forward.
Before he reached the door of Aunt Zhang's house, he heard Liu Li scolding: "Where did you go to the wilderness when you eat only food and don't lay eggs all day?" When she had finished scolding, she was seen picking up a wooden stick and striking an old hen. Xia He didn't look up when he got closer, thinking: You can scold as much as you like, and you didn't point at me to scold anyway.
Liu Li saw that Xia He walked to Zhang's courtyard without saying a word, still carrying rice in his hand, so angry in his heart? was originally the maid of the Liu family, but this time she didn't listen to herself, and she still took something to honor the old immortal.
Entering Aunt Zhang's yard, Xia He shouted, "Is there anyone in the house?" Is Aunt Zhang at home? ”
At this time, Aunt Zhang was on the kang in the house, heard someone coming outside, hurriedly dragged her shoes to open the door, saw that it was Xia He, and opened the door while wearing her shoes: "Oops! Girl, you are here, sit in the house. ”
Xia He entered the house: "You have collected this half bag of rice from my aunt, and there is nothing at home to honor you, you have helped me a lot over the years, thanks to your care, Xia He has been able to live until now, if it weren't for your care, I Xia He really don't know what to do?" So thank you very much, auntie. I haven't seen my aunt for a few days, so I came to see you, I miss you! After saying that, Xia He put the rice aside.
