Chapter 24: The Old Man Has Something to Rely On
"Kaede ......"
"Uncle Wan Er......"
The two were swept away by the stream of the rapids.
The two kept shouting, the rapids kept washing the two of them, and the distance between the two became farther and farther away.
Second Uncle Wan performed the "Search Technique", but Lin Feng's breath was covered by a force, so Second Uncle Wan had no choice but to give up and kept looking for Lin Feng's traces along the stream.
Although Lin Feng inherited the mana of several people, he didn't know how to use it, and the endless stream of water slapped Lin Feng's body back and forth more than a meter away.
Lin Feng was still exhausted in the end, although he was familiar with water in the past, but after all, his current body was too young.
Exhausted, Lin Feng looked forward to the end of the stream, looking forward to... Looking forward to ...... Lin Feng had already been soaked and unconscious.
"Wife, where do you see if it's a person?" An old man with a white beard said to an old woman beside him.
"Old man, how can this be a man, I think it should be a fierce beast there, look at that pattern, how much it looks like a tiger?" The old woman shielded herself from the fierce sunlight with her hands and looked carefully into the distance.
Yes, Lin Feng has always been wearing animal skins in the desert, and only a few women are wearing silk and cotton clothes.
"Shall we go up and have a look?" The old man rowed a flat boat and prepared to row towards Lin Feng, who was floating on the water.
"What's the matter, old man, you're still not convinced, just look at who is afraid of whom?" The old woman curled her mouth and muttered a few words.
The flat boat rowed out layers of ripples, the current here is not very fast, and the two old men also make a living by fishing.
The flat boat drew a pattern in the river, and it got closer and closer to Lin Feng.
When the two approached the floating object, the old man saw it clearly.
"Hehe, I won, you see I just said he's a person? You're still ......," he said, looking at his eyes.
"You can still laugh, don't hurry up and save people," said the old woman with a heavy face, glaring at the old man with her eyes.
"Obviously, I guessed it right, and I won't be allowed to show off, I have been talked about by you all my life......" the old man muttered.
"What did you say?" The old woman listened with her inflexible ears.
Both of them are seventy or eighty years old, and the old man is used to the old woman's chatter, and the old woman is also used to the old man's whispering.
"Nothing... It's nothing ......" the old man said and fiddled with the animal skin with his harpoon, when the two of them saw Lin Feng's appearance clearly.
"Who is so ruthless, such a good child," the old woman said with a not-so-good look at Lin Feng's appearance clearly.
"Yes, you see that his face is white, and he looks like when I was a child." The old man echoed.
"You'll be less stinky and beautiful." The old woman held her mouth but said happily in her heart.
"Otherwise, I wouldn't have married a girl as beautiful as you." The old man also replied with a smile.
"Isn't that right? I didn't have to be bad for you back then, isn't that right? The old woman looked happy, and glanced at the old man with a gloomy face, and wanted to speak, but at this time, the old man had already salvaged Lin Feng.
"Okay, let's not talk about it, let's see if this boy can be saved?" The old man knew that the old woman reacted again, and said the sentence just now seriously.
The only remaining piece of animal skin on Lin Feng's body covered his stomach, and his body was as white as jade, and the two of them could see it at a glance.
"What a white boy, I don't know whose son?" The old woman said with dizzy eyes.
"You are stupid, look at the animal skin he is wearing, how can this be the son, maybe it is the ancestral hall of the king of the mountain?" The old man looked Lin Feng's appearance up and down.
The nose is like a hook, the eyebrows are picturesque, the hair is like ink, and although the body is small, the bones are a powerful feeling.
"How's it going? Old man, "The old woman also stepped forward to observe carefully.
"And the breath, it should be soaked in the water for too long and the physical strength is exhausted, so that's why it's like this?" Based on his years of fishing experience, the old man made a meaningful judgment.
Lin Feng's body was already swollen, just as the old man said, if he was not physically exhausted, he would drown.
"Shall we take it home?"
"You can't bear to throw him like this?" The old man glared at the old woman beside him.
Both of them are ordinary people, and they are also good people in the mountains, but the heavens are not beautiful, but the two of them have no children under their knees, and this strange teenager suddenly appeared, and both of them are extremely happy.
"Old Man Chu is back, do you have any fish to sell today?" A big man with a beard asked with a smile on his face when he saw the old man and the old lady coming back.
"Not today, my body is not good, I only caught a fish, so let's go home and eat it myself." The old man also said with a smile on his face.
"Old man Chu, whose child are you carrying behind you?" The big man went up curiously to take a look.
Lin Feng's pale face at this time startled the big man.
"Old Man Chu, you can't steal this, right?" Everyone in the mountains knew that Old Man Chu had no children under his knees, so Dahan asked.
"I'm a bone, and I'm still doing this kind of thing?"
Dahan thinks about it, both of them are over half a hundred years old, although they have no children under their knees, but the two also respect each other, and they are also a model for mountain people.
"This is my fishing ......," the old man recounted.
"Wouldn't it be better for the old man to be like this, this is God's eyes, let you have a son in your old age" The big man is straightforward, and the words came out of his mouth.
Old Man Chu was not angry, and walked towards his dilapidated house with the old woman.
They all said hello one by one along the way, and a young man helped Old Man Chu bring Lin Feng back to the house.
"Grandpa Chu, I'll call my father over and help him take a look." The young man looked to be in his early twenties, and his face was full of simplicity.
"Thank you for your hard work, Young Master Xu, oh, you can take this fish with you!" Old Man Chu didn't know how to thank the young man in front of him.
"No, I have it at home." With that, he ran back to the pharmacy.
It didn't take long for a doctor to arrive, dressed in a gorgeous costume, with a boxy medicine box in his hand.
"Old man Chu, I heard from Neiko that you brought back a teenager?" The goatee doctor said.
"You see, this is it." Old Man Chu told him what had happened.
"Here, let me take a look." Doctor Xu skillfully took out the acupuncture and medicine pills in the medicine box.
"Hey, there is nothing wrong with this young man's body, that is, fatigue, the muscles and veins of the body are stable and well-maintained, which I haven't seen for many years?" Doctor Xu looked at the boy lying on the bed a few more times.
"Then is he still saved?" The old man said worriedly.
"Didn't Dr. Xu say that the meridians are stable." The old woman stepped forward and said, in fact, she didn't know what the situation was.
"Yes, you only need to take some supplements, it's fine, I have a stamina pill here, which can make him recover his strength in a short time, but you shouldn't be able to afford it?" When Dr. Xu said this, he was also a little unbearable, after all, he didn't collect money, and he would lose a lot, but he spent a thousand yuan to come in.
"How much, I have." When the old man heard this, he said without hesitation.
"A thousand, isn't it? Five hundred," Physician Xu finally hesitated and said differently.
Doctor Xu knew about the situation in Old Man Chu's family, so he changed his words and said five hundred.
"Yes, I have ......," Old Man Chu said, moving his old body and taking out something wrapped in a cloth towel from under his pillow.
When the old woman saw it, her heart was sour, and her words stopped.
Peeling back layer by layer, the old Dafeng coin appeared inside.
"Come, Doctor Xu will give it to you, this is four hundred, and I will return the rest to you in two days." Old Man Chu said that his eyes seemed to skip a beat.
"No need, Doctor Xu, I still have a hairpin here." At this time, the old woman took out a golden gilt hairpin from her bosom.
"That's enough!"
"No need, Old Man Chu, Mother-in-law Chu, these four hundred are enough, I don't want the rest." Saying that, when Doctor Xu saw this scene, he quickly put away the four hundred gold coins and left in a hurry.
"Dr. Xu......"
"Xu ......"
Where is the speed of the two of them, Doctor Xu is fast, and between the words, Doctor Xu has already walked a long way.
"Old woman, if we have the opportunity, we will return the rest of the money to him, he has helped us a lot over the years." What the old man said, the sourness in his heart, only he knows.
The old woman looked at the old man, she didn't know what to say, she could only stand silently, and all that was left in her heart was sadness.
She knew the old man's stubbornness, she had never owed anyone else in her life, and she was not greedy for a stitch.
Maybe this time it was really God who opened a window for the old man, that is, the young man in front of him, this is what the two of them thought in their hearts, the old man has something to rely on.
