Chapter 177 The fire is scorching
Disliking the poor and loving the rich is the true idea of most people, no one will dislike having more money, let alone sharing their wealth with others, but there is one place that is just the opposite, that is Linjia Village.
Although there are only 70 or 80 households in Linjia Village, and the life is not rich, the fine traditions of the ancestors have been passed down from generation to generation.
When night fell, the sea breeze was cool, the sound of the waves crashed on the shore from time to time, and the whole Linjia Village was immersed in the dark night, silent, and every house closed its door, and no one walked around at will. Only two middle-aged men with harpoons in their hands carefully checked whether the doors and windows of each house were properly opened, which was their daily routine.
Most of the young and middle-aged people in the village have gone out to sea to fish, and the rest are old, young, women, and children, sick and disabled. Every night, for fear of wild beasts or evildoers, everyone closes the doors and windows early and waits for the arrival of daylight, and the two middle-aged men are specially left to guard the village and are responsible for the safety of the villagers.
Lin Lisheng's house has been cleaned up, and the dim oil lamp in the house can still illuminate half of the room.
Zhou Feng lay weakly on the hard wooden bed, coughed twice from time to time, and looked intently at Lin Qiuyao, who was clumsy and clumsy to pack up his belongings, both happy and sad, happy that he had taken a virtuous and good daughter-in-law, sad that he had become her biggest burden, a useless man.
"Qiu Yao, it's been a busy day, let's rest early. Cough...... cough ......" Zhou Feng clutched his chest and coughed violently, his muscles and bones ached like a hob mountain.
"If you're not well, don't say a word, and I'll go get you water. Lin Qiuyao bent down to help Zhou Feng cover the quilt, and said softly as water, after many days of tempering, her princess character has disappeared.
Zhou Feng stretched out his hand to hold the white and delicate hand, looked at the increased calluses on it, and said guiltily: "I wanted to give you happiness, but it has become a burden to you, making you work day and night, I can't bear it." ”
"What do you say, as long as you are by my side, I feel very content, I have no regrets in this life, and I hope we can still be together in the next life. Lin Qiuyao smiled slightly, and gently pressed her tender and delicate face against Zhou Feng's chest.
The wind and sun are beautiful, the sea breeze caresses, and Zhou Feng lies alone on the soft sand and admires the endless blue sea.
Lin Lisheng's father and daughter went to a nearby town to buy goods, and it took two days to return. Lin Qiuyao went only under Zhou Feng's persuasion, in order to let her go out to relax her mood. When Lin Qiuyao was leaving, she told Zhou Feng a lot of words like an aunt, asking him to take care of himself.
"Lao Hei, am I just so wasted?Why is the body of the divine dragon still not comparable to the physique of ordinary people?" Zhou Feng patted the Red Water Demon Cow in his pocket, and he didn't know how many times he asked similar questions.
"Master, your spirit is completely lost, it is not something that can be cultivated in an ordinary environment, your body belongs to the fire nature, you should find an extremely hot place and maybe it will have an effect. The Red Water Demon Cow continued to repeat what he had said.
In the extremely hot place, Zhou Feng thought of the magma lake on Yanlong Island, but it no longer existed, where to find this natural magma?
Zhou Feng suddenly thought of a way, and said excitedly: "Lao Hei, I have a method to try." ”
"What?" said the Red Water Demon Cow curiously.
"Scorch my flesh over a great fire. Zhou Feng's eyes lit up, and he felt that it was a good way.
"Alas, whether ordinary fire can nourish the body of the dragon, my old cow has never heard of it, so I can only give it a try, and the dead horse should be used as a live horse doctor. ”
"Oh, that's not right, it's supposed to be a dead dragon as a living dragon doctor. Zhou Feng smiled, exerted too much force, and coughed a few times.
The Red Water Demon Cow also followed and smiled, "Master, what do I want my old cow to do, you just command." ”
Looking at Zhou Feng's reluctant smile, the Red Water Demon Cow knew the pain in his heart, from a peerless powerhouse to a sick and weak person who couldn't even pinch an ant, no one would feel good in other places.
"Hehe! The first time I saw Lao Hei with a smiling face, he looked quite gentle. Old man, please carry me to find a remote place to build a big fire, I Zhou Feng wants to regain his majesty, cough cough ......" The spiritual power made Zhou Feng get up from the sand quickly.
When the Red Water Demon Bull saw that there was no one around, he turned into his original form. Suddenly, a stream of water vapor swept Zhou Feng onto the cow's back. Knowing that Zhou Feng's body was weak, the Red Water Demon Cow didn't dare to make too many moves along the way.
Thanks to the scarcity of people in this realm, a fierce beast like the Red Water Demon Cow did not encounter others, otherwise there would have been an earth-shattering shout.
A mountain col, the size of the tree branches piled up more than two people high, naturally this is the credit of the Red Water Demon Cow. Zhou Feng was paralyzed beside the pyre, and the bumps along the way made him even weaker, and he kept coughing.
Looking at the pyre in front of him, if Zhou Feng used to easily light it with a snap of his fingers, now he has no strength to drill wood for fire.
The Red Water Demon Cow glared at the red eyes, and two red rays of light shot on the firewood, and suddenly, the fire burned and crackled.
Zhou Feng gritted his teeth and slowly stood up, taking off all the clothes on his body. The set of heavenly silk clothes on his body has long been stored, for fear of causing trouble, and the current clothes are just ordinary silk white robes, which were also bought for dozens of coins, and he is reluctant to be destroyed by fire.
The smooth Zhou Feng didn't immediately get into the fire, because he felt the scorching, which he hadn't encountered before. An arm reached into the raging flames and quickly retracted.
It hurts!
"Master, are you alright?" the Red Water Demon Cow asked worriedly, watching Zhou Feng's actions.
"It's fine. ”
Zhou Feng looked at his right hand and found that his skin was not burned, and it seemed that this divine dragon's body could still withstand the fire. Just now, if it was an ordinary body, countless blisters would have appeared on his arms.
Zhou Feng once again stretched his right arm into the fire, this time he gritted his teeth and endured the scorching pain, beads of sweat the size of beans rolled down, but they were quickly evaporated by the heat wave.
The fire was getting bigger and bigger, and Zhou Feng endured the pain and slowly burrowed into the fire. The whole body hurts like a knife and a needle, and the internal organs in the body feel familiar. Although the pain was unbearable, there was no trace of damage to his body, which made Zhou Feng rekindle hope.
Two hours had passed in a long scorching heat, the fire had weakened, and the pyre was about to burn out. Zhou Feng was numb, there was no pain, he felt that the sky was dark, and his brain was paralyzed on the fire as if he was starved of oxygen, motionless.
"Master!"
The Red Water Demon Cow rushed into the fire, pulled Zhou Feng out with his mouth, and found that he was still breathing, so his nervous heart was relaxed.
After a long time, Zhou Feng slowly opened his eyes, and his whole body was piercing with pain, but he felt that his breath was much more stable, there was no rapid wheezing, his breathing was smooth, and the sticky phlegm that had always existed in his throat was gone.
Happy!A heartfelt laugh.
Seeing the smile on Zhou Feng's face, the Red Water Demon Cow's hanging heart completely returned to its place, "Master, how do you feel?
Zhou Feng barely supported his body, and said weakly: "I just feel that my breathing is smoother than usual, and I don't feel any change in the others." ”
"Okay! Let's take our time. The Red Water Demon Cow was even more excited than Zhou Feng.
After two days of scorching fire, Zhou Feng's breathing was completely smooth, and he didn't feel like coughing, but his body was still so weak.
"Old Black, get me two fish from the sea. Tomorrow, my uncle and Qiu Yao will come back, and I will cook a meal for them. Zhou Feng put on his clothes and felt much better.
In the dead of night, a fierce beast stood in the water on the beach, its red eyes shining like two burning stars.
The Red Water Demon Cow is a vegetarian, and although it used to be an overlord of the water, it has never eaten fish.
At night, the sea is very quiet, and there are only a few small schools of fish under the water, trying to catch two big fish but there is no trace.
There was no way, the Red Water Demon Cow opened its mouth and sucked lightly, and a few palm-sized small fish and a few large crabs were sucked to the shore. It blew lightly, and a bubble filled with seawater enveloped the small fish and crabs.
"Crabs, you're so good!" Zhou Feng praised as he swept a few big crabs.
"When did I become a fake cow? "The Red Water Demon Cow couldn't understand Zhou Feng's words.
At noon, Lin Lisheng and Lin Qiuyao drove the carriage back to Linjia Village, which was full of new daily necessities and bought some game for the villagers.
The people of Linjia Village eat fish all year round, and almost never eat other meat, one is that they do not have that habit, and the other is poor.
Lin Lisheng and Lin Qiuyao did not go home immediately, but distributed wild animals from house to house from the village.
The villagers knew that this was Lin Lisheng's intention, and everyone accepted it happily, if anyone refused, they would look down on others, only those who hated it would do that, not to mention that the people in Linjia Village had never blushed for thousands of years.
After the game was divided, the carriage hurried to the house, and the father and daughter were worried about Zhou Feng's situation in the past two days.
Well!
I saw Zhou Feng sitting on the pebbles at the door, holding his chin with one hand and looking over here, looking like he had been waiting for a long time.
"Uncle, Qiu Yao, why did you just come back?" Zhou Feng stood up with his support for the wall, with a stupid smile on his face.
"Something is wrong! This kid hasn't seen him for two days, and he seems to be a little stupid again, could it be that he has a fever and is confused?" Lin Lisheng looked at Zhou Feng's stupid smile and wondered in his heart.
"Why don't you go and lie down in the house, you'll catch a cold here. Lin Qiuyao hurriedly ran a few steps to hold Zhou Feng's body, which was likely to be blown down by the breeze.
"It's okay, it's just that I've missed you for the past two days, and I'm panicking. Zhou Feng smiled at Lin Qiuyao again, looking like a fool.
Lin Qiuyao put his hand on Zhou Feng's forehead, he didn't have a fever, how did he become like this today.
Zhou Feng saw something from the faces of the father and daughter, and settled down, "You guys think too much, I made a meal for you today, I'm just a little happy." ”
"What! you cook, why are you so disobedient!" Lin Qiuyao's face turned condensed, and she scolded angrily, this was the first time she was angry with Zhou Feng.
"Okay, Zhou Feng is also a good intention, let's go, go and try Zhou Feng's craftsmanship. Lin Lisheng hurriedly played a round on the side.
At this time, Lin Qiuyao's eyes were already ruddy, and she walked towards the house with Zhou Feng in her arms.
This kind of anger is Zhou Feng's true love, and he is afraid of losing him. Zhou Feng stared at Lin Qiuyao tightly, tears flashed in his eyes, looking at her somewhat haggard and delicate face, tired expression, and secretly made up his mind to get better, be a strong man, protect her for life, and cherish her.
"Well, yes! I didn't expect this crab to be so delicious. Lin Lisheng tasted Zhou Feng's cooking skills for the first time and was full of praise.
Zhou Feng shuddered and peeled a piece of crab meat and put it in Lin Qiuyao's white jade bowl, piece after piece. Lin Qiuyao had just sorted out the clothes she had purchased for Zhou Feng, and when she stepped into the house, she was stunned by Zhou Feng's actions, and tears of happiness fell down.
"Qiu Yao, what are you still doing, the crab roasted by Zhou Feng and this fish are really good. It's the first time my dad has eaten such a delicious thing, and this kid didn't show his hands earlier...... "Because he was too happy to eat, Lin Lisheng found that he had a slip of the tongue, so he hurriedly smiled and said, "Zhou Feng, you are not in good health, so you should do less work in the future." ”
"Uncle, I know it in my heart, don't worry, it's okay. Zhou Feng smiled, his face full of vitality.
"Eh, Qiu Yao, did you find it, Zhou Feng has not coughed now, and his face has improved. "Lin Lisheng is like discovering a new world, and he is extremely excited.
Lin Qiuyao, who had just sat at the table, turned her head to look at Zhou Feng's face, and seemed to have noticed it, sobbing and nodding.
