Chapter 199 Brotherly Love
Not far from Zhou Feng's left behind, there is a brand-new two-story bamboo building, and there is an old woman with gray hair standing at the door of the bamboo building. She was dressed in a black coarse cloth robe, about seventy years old, and although her face was wrinkled, she was still red, energetic, and spoke loudly.
Zhou Feng turned around and pushed the wheelbarrow to the old woman, and said with a smile on his face: "Thank you, old man." "
"Baby, just put the strange thing you are pushing in your hand at the door, we are in the village, and we will not lose it. Seeing that this young man is very tired, you first help him upstairs, which is my grandson's room, not sloppy, let him sleep well. I'll cook some meals for you later, it's all coarse tea and light rice, don't dislike it. The old woman said with a kind smile, and at first glance she knew that she was warm-hearted.
Zhou Feng thanked him again, gently pushed Zhiling with his hand, and whispered, "Senior brother, wake up." "
Zhiling was woken up from her sleep, squinted her sleepy eyes and reluctantly got off the wheelbarrow, and murmured, "Where is this?"
"It's getting late today, so we'll spend the night at this old man's house. Zhou Feng put the wheelbarrow under the wall of the bamboo building, turned around and said to Zhiling.
Following the old woman, Zhou Feng and the three of them came to the second floor of the bamboo building. The room is large, neat and clean, with two bamboo beds, bamboo chairs and bamboo tables.
"You three are here for the night, and if you need anything, I'll cook for you. The old woman smiled and turned to go downstairs, her legs and feet were very nimble.
"Old people and so on. Zhi Ling pressed her voice and hurried to catch up, and took out five coins from her coat pocket and gave them to the old woman.
"Baby, what are you doing, my wife doesn't open a store, if that's the case, you will find another home. The old woman pushed Zhiling's hand holding the money back and said unhappily.
Seeing that the old man insisted on not accepting it, Zhiling had no choice but to give up, and could only say a few words of thanks.
When the old woman went downstairs, she glanced around the house in the snow, and asked Zhou Feng with a smile, "Just two beds, how can the three of us sleep?"
"It's hard to say, Senior Sister Zhiling has one bed, and we have one bed. Zhou Feng said without thinking.
"No, I never sleep in the same bed as anyone else. In the snow, he put away his smile and said seriously.
Seeing Xue Zhongzhu's expression that he had never shown, Zhou Feng knew that it was useless to talk about this matter, and turned his face to look at Zhiling, who was sleepy.
"Little madman, you don't want to sleep with me, do you?" Zhiling shouted in surprise.
"Senior sister, you think too much, I'm afraid that you will break someone's bed. Zhou Feng said aggrievedly, he can only sleep on the ground tonight.
At this time, Zhiling was sitting on the bamboo bed with her buttocks upside down, trying to see if the bamboo bed had any sound, for fear of affecting her sleep.
"A few babies are ready. "
Downstairs came the call of an old woman.
"Old man, let's come down now. Zhou Feng responded.
The rice is very simple, it is steamed with black rice and green vegetables, and it tastes light and tasteless. It was difficult to resist the enthusiasm, Zhou Feng and the three of them each ate some, and praised the old woman's cooking for being delicious.
The old woman lived alone in a bamboo building, her wife died early, and her son and daughter-in-law also died in a natural disaster. Fortunately, God has eyes, her only grandson has grown up, made a decent living, went home once a year, bought a lot of food for the old woman, and built her a new bamboo building. When he mentioned his grandson, he couldn't close his mouth, praising the child for being sensible and filial.
After listening to the old woman's words, Zhou Feng and the three of them went upstairs to rest.
There was no bed, so Zhou Feng had to lie down at the door of the house. The bamboo bed is covered with a soft bamboo linen mat, which is covered with a layer of linen cloth on the outside and sun-dried bamboo leaves on the inside, making it soft and sweet to sleep on. And the ground where Zhou Feng slept was hard bamboo, cold and hard, very uncomfortable, not as comfortable as the green grass. Due to overwork, the trio quickly fell asleep.
In the middle of the night, there was a sudden knock on the door downstairs, and with a cry of "Who?", the old woman was heard opening the door, followed by the old woman's crying.
"What's wrong with you, my grandson......
Zhou Feng and the others had already woken up when they knocked on the door, and when they heard the old woman's cry, Zhou Feng suddenly stood up and ran downstairs, followed by Xue Zhongzhu and Zhiling.
At the door of the bamboo building, under the bright moonlight, an old woman sat down in a daze leaning on the bamboo door, holding a bloody man in her arms, her wrinkled face instantly aged a lot, and two bloodstained hands trembled and hugged the dying man, wanting to cry without tears.
"What happened to the old man?"
Zhou Feng rushed down from the upper floor and quickly came to the old woman's side, seeing it in his eyes, his heart was also sad, the old man's only grandson didn't know what trouble he had suffered, his body was scarred, and his flesh and blood were blurred.
"It's time to come, oh my God...... Why did you leave me, a dead wife, alone, and let my relatives leave one by one? I have done nothing in my life, but I have done nothing unreasonable!...... "The old woman began to weep bitterly.
"Brother Pig, is there a way to deal with him?" Zhou Feng looked back at Xue Zhongchai, hoping that this master could help.
"Brother Xue, you can save people. Zhiling was anxious for a while, made a crisp female voice, and even called her brother one by one in the snow.
Xue Zhongzhu looked at the two fellow travelers in front of him who were anxious for others, the corners of his mouth were hooked, he smiled lightly, and did not speak, this is his unique character, no matter what, he is unhurried.
With a flick of his fingers, a trace of white qi sank into the flesh blurred man's body, and the blood gushing out immediately coagulated. Xue Zhongzhu took out a white jade bottle from his body again, poured out a small white pill, and with a flick of his fingers, the small pill entered the injured man's mouth without a sound.
"Looking at his breathing and heartbeat, his life is not in danger for the time being. The little madman, carry him to the bed, wash the blood, and then soak the pill in warm water to wipe his wounds, and if nothing else, he will wake up in three days. In the snow, he handed a white pill to Zhou Feng, turned around and walked upstairs with light steps.
The heartbroken old woman saw the wound of her grandson in her arms solidifying, and she was hopeful, and said in a trembling voice: "Baby, is my grandson saved?"
Zhou Feng comforted: "That person just now has great powers, your grandson will be fine." "
Then, Zhou Feng took the injured man from the old woman's arms and picked him up with great difficulty, and followed the old woman to put him on the bed in the east room on the first floor.
Zhiling helped bring water early, and Zhou Feng wiped the blood stains with a clean coarse cloth. When the blood stains on the injured man's face were scrubbed clean, Zhou Feng was stunned for a moment and exclaimed, "Gu Xiaoxiong!"
The old woman on the side hurriedly said: "Baby, my grandson's name is Servant Little Bear, do you know him?"
Zhou Feng smiled and nodded, this is a good brother who has stayed with him in the Gu Family Courtyard for a while.
"This is fate! It seems that my grandson's life should not be extinguished, and I have met you nobles. The old woman was filled with tears in her eyes.
After cleaning, Zhou Feng wiped the wound of Gu Xiaoxiong according to the method of chasing in the snow, and because the part was indecent, he took Zhiling away.
When everything was done, it was already dark. Zhou Feng, who wanted to hurry up, stayed in the bamboo building for two more days for Gu Xiaoxiong. Sure enough, as the snow said, the wounds on Gu Xiaoxiong's body had stuttered, and he woke up.
Zhou Feng was overjoyed, and the old woman who had been by her side cried with joy, holding Gu Xiaoxiong's hand and shouting, "Grandson...... You're awake, you're scared to death grandma. "
"Grandma, don't cry, I'm fine. Gu Xiaoxiong smiled weakly.
"Bear. Zhou Feng shouted with a smile.
Seeing Zhou Feng standing in front of him, Gu Xiaoxiong was very excited, "Feet...... Long feet, how did you end up here?"
"Naturally, I'm here to visit you. Zhou Feng said with a smile.
"Long feet, I heard that you were framed by Miss Mi, and the brothers feel injustice for you, but you can only steal your life under the fence, otherwise you would have left the land of right and wrong a long time ago. Today, I didn't expect to see my feet long, and I felt very guilty. Gu Xiaoxiong said sadly, he wanted to get up, but his whole body was in pain and his limbs were weak.
"Brother, you are not at fault, how can you talk about guilt. Your hand is good, who can hurt you like this?" Zhou Feng asked puzzled.
"It's a sorcerer, and there are three black-robed sorcerers, and my brothers who followed me have all died tragically, and I am the only one who escaped by narrowly, and all the goods have been burned by them. Speaking of this, Gu Xiaoxiong's eyes showed fear, and his eyes were full of tragic pictures of his brothers who had died tragically.
"In this way, if the sorcerer wants to take action against the Mi family, the Four Seas Order of the Water Tribes will also lose its effect, and it seems that this catastrophe will happen sooner or later. Zhou Feng sighed, why did he not stop killing and fighting.
Sitting on the side drinking bamboo leaf tea in the snow, the corners of his mouth were hooked, he smiled faintly, and tasted the tea by himself, disdainful of Zhou Feng's unfounded worries.
"Little madman, since your brother is out of danger, let's hurry up and set off. Zhiling secretly tugged at the corner of Zhou Feng's clothes and whispered.
"Stop for two more days, and we'll go again when the bear is able to move. Zhou Feng turned around and said that he was a trustworthy person, and he once said that he would protect these brothers, but because of his departure, his promise was not fulfilled, and he wanted to try his best to make amends.
Gu Xiaoxiong's family has coarse tea and light food every day, and he lacks nutrients for his wound recovery. There is also very little poultry in Zhucun, and if you want to buy it, you have to go far to the town. I heard the old woman say that wild animals are sometimes infested in the bamboo forest, but they are very cunning and few people can catch them. Zhou Feng made a big bow out of bamboo, and made arrows from bamboo strips, ready to go into the bamboo forest to try his luck and get some wild things for Gu Xiaoxiong to replenish his body.
After a few days of cultivation, Zhiling's foot injury has healed, so she naturally wants to follow and enjoy the bamboo scenery by the way. Not to mention in the snow, no matter where Zhou Feng goes, he will follow.
The three of them set off early the next morning into the bamboo forest in the west of the village, which is relatively vast, with rolling hills and many wild objects, which are easy to catch.
The bamboo forest is fresh and refreshing, with a variety of flowers and plants, and a small stream flowing through it, making it a great place to enjoy it.
Zhou Feng watched vigilantly in the bamboo forest with his bow, trying to catch a wild thing as soon as possible. Zhiling was jumping and jumping, humming haha, picking wild flowers while humming a little song, so that Zhou Feng didn't dare to be angry or speak. In the snow, they follow unhurriedly between the two, and sometimes they also enjoy the bamboo and smell the flowers. Look, these three people are not here to hunt at all, but more like they are visiting the mountains and rivers.
"Goo-Goo......
Not far away, there was a burst of bird calls, and Zhou Feng was overjoyed, tiptoeing to the bird's sound with a bow.
