Chapter 3 The storm is coming
As night gradually approached, Jiang Feng sent away the greedy Dr. Li, returned to the house and began to boil medicine and take care of his mother. Xiao Shi was afraid that his brother Feng would be hungry, so he brought a steamed bun to Jiang Feng, which made Xiao Shi's mother call the girl a big girl.
"Brother Feng, come here, Aunt Liu is awake!" Xiao Shi's happy cheers came from the back room.
"Really, my mother is awake?" Jiang Feng heard Xiao Shi's call, and immediately rushed over, seeing Liu Yuting, who had opened her eyes, but her face was still very pale, she was so excited that she couldn't speak, tears began to roll in her eyes again, and she resisted the urge to cry, Jiang Feng asked in a low voice: "Mother, how are you, do you feel better?"
Liu Yuting nodded weakly, looked at a few people in the room, and asked puzzledly, "You are all here, what's wrong with me?"
Xiaoshi's mother took Liu Yuting's hand and told how Liu Yuting was sick, and then fell into a coma, how Jiang Feng invited himself to come over to help take care of her, and went to ask Dr. Li to help Liu Yuting treat her illness. After listening to it, Liu Yuting knew what the whole thing had happened, and her heart was moved and full of many questions.
Liu Yuting asked Xiaoshi's mother to help her sit up, leaned on the head of the bed, and took Xiaoshi's mother's hand and said, "Sister Sun, cough cough, you really bothered, thank you for taking care of me."
"Hey, sister, what are you talking about, everyone is a neighbor, whose family has a difficult matter, sisters come to help, isn't it right? As the saying goes, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors!" Xiao Shi's mother, Sun Jing, patted the back of Liu Yuting's hand and said with a smile on her face: "Besides, I didn't do anything, it was all your Xiaofeng who was busy running before and after, and I was very tired in the past two days."
Liu Yuting turned her gaze to Jiang Feng and was about to praise him, but she saw Jiang Feng lowering her head, secretly taking two steps back, and hiding in a dimly lit place. Liu Yuting felt that something was wrong, so she asked Jiang Feng to raise her head, took a few steps forward, and was about to ask what was going on, but with the help of the light, she immediately saw Jiang Feng's blue nose and swollen face, and her expression suddenly became serious.
"Xiaofeng, don't hurry up and bring the boiled medicine to your mother, the effect of the medicine will not work if it is cold. Oh, sister, you just woke up, don't think about it so much, if you have something to do, you will talk about it. Xiaofeng has stayed up for two hours with his own hands, this kid is really filial, and he really envy my sister. Sun Jing hurriedly turned his head and glanced at Jiang Feng.
"Oh, yes, I'll get it right away, I'll get it right away. Jiang Feng was afraid that his mother would question him, so he wiped the sweat on his head, like a mouse seeing a cat, turned around and ran out.
After Jiang Feng took the medicine, he handed it to Sun Jing, quickly hid aside, and quietly watched Sun Jing feed his mother the medicine. Liu Yuting took the medicine, her face gradually became rosy, and she didn't cough much, but she kept thinking about why Jiang Feng had a blue nose and swollen face, could it be that he was fighting again?
"Feng'er, come here, let me ask you, what's going on with your face?" Li Yuting stared at Jiang Feng with a straight face.
"I, I, I'm ......" Jiang Feng hesitated, burying his head in his chest.
"Raise your head, as a man, why do you always keep your head down? Okay, then let's not talk about that. You say, where did you get the money to ask the doctor to treat me?" Liu Yuting asked with a forced look at Jiang Feng.
Sun Jing was about to play a round when a crisp voice suddenly resounded throughout the room.
"I know, I know, Brother Feng went to the Colosseum in the north of the city to earn money. Xiao Shi said with a wave of his fist, proudly.
"What, Colosseum......? You ......" Liu Yuting's face suddenly changed when she heard this.
"Sister, don't listen to Xiaoshi's nonsense, she knows what a little girl knows. Sun Jing hurriedly tugged at Xiaoshi's clothes and signaled her not to talk nonsense.
"People just know, it's Brother Feng who took me with him. Mother, don't drag my clothes, they have to be patched if they are torn, how ugly they are!" Xiao Shi did not understand his mother's hint, and muttered.
Sun Jing glared at Xiao Shi, stopped Xiao Shi, who wanted to continue, patted his forehead helplessly, and sighed as he looked at his stupid girl.
When Liu Yuting heard Xiao Shi's words, she instantly understood the cause and effect, and suddenly trembled with anger, pointed at Jiang Feng with one hand, and coughed with the other hand, wanting to scold. Seeing this, Sun Jing gently caressed Liu Yuting's back while comforting in a soft voice, and after a few minutes, she finally calmed down the excited Liu Yuting.
Looking at Jiang Feng, who was standing there in a daze and didn't speak, Liu Yuting bowed slightly and said to Sun Jing: "Sister Sun, you have worked hard for the past two days. It's not too early now, so you might as well go back and rest with the little rocks first, thank you."
Sun Jing looked at Liu Yuting, who didn't have a good face, then looked at Jiang Feng who lowered his head, then looked at the pouting little stone, put down the medicine bowl in his hand, and got up helplessly and said, "Okay, I'll leave with Xiaoshi first." Sister, you are in good health, you need to recuperate more, don't get angry!"
After finishing speaking, Sun Jing pulled the small stone and walked out, and in the cold wind outside, there was also a small stone's aggrieved voice: "Mother, what people say is the truth." Why don't you let people say that Brother Feng just went to the Colosseum to earn money?
"Okay, hurry up and go home, your father is still waiting for us at home......" Sun Jing couldn't hear what he said later, and could only hear the wind whirring outside the house.
After Xiao Shi and his mother left, the room suddenly became extremely quiet, the needle drop could be heard, and the atmosphere became very silent, Jiang Feng stood there, a little at a loss. After waiting for a while, Jiang Feng peeked at it, and saw that his mother's face was still not very good, so he took the lead in breaking the silence and cautiously said to Liu Yuting: "Mother, I was wrong, your body is just right, don't be angry."
"Hmph, get down on my knees. You still know that you are wrong, you are really bold, cough cough cough, hurry up and tell me everything about it, otherwise, cough cough cough, you will keep kneeling, don't get up. Liu Yuting became emotional again, and couldn't help coughing.
Jiang Feng knelt on the cold and biting ground and began to slowly talk about the details of the whole thing. When Liu Yuting first heard that Jiang Feng went to the Colosseum to participate in gambling in order to make money, she was so angry that she almost got out of bed and beat Jiang Feng, Jiang Feng hurriedly comforted her with kind words, and was spared. When she heard that Jiang Feng was beaten by the black wolf on stage, Liu Yuting couldn't hold back any longer, turned her head, turned her back to Jiang Feng, and sobbed in a low voice.
After finishing speaking, Jiang Feng knelt there quietly, already mentally prepared, waiting for Liu Yuting to beat and scold.
After a long while, Liu Yuting finally stopped crying, turned around, and asked Jiang Feng to get up and come to him and sit on the edge of the bed. Liu Yuting stroked Jiang Feng's swollen cheeks and said, "It's my mother who is sorry for you, and you have suffered." But how can you go to the Colosseum to gamble on boxing, you are still a child! If there is an accident and my mother is left alone, how should I be good? cough cough cough, even if my mother is sick and dies, I don't want you to risk your life to go to that kind of place."
"I'm sorry, I was wrong. Mother, I'm sorry, the child doesn't dare anymore. Jiang Feng's eyes were red, and he gently patted Liu Yuting's back and said.
"Alas, it's good if you know it's wrong, don't blame your mother for beating you and scolding you, it's all for your good. You also know that my mother has told you not to fight since she was a child, and what she has always hoped is that you can study hard, work hard to gain fame, and glorify the lintel. Alas, okay, my mother is tired, you have been working hard for the past two days, hurry up and go to sleep, there is something to talk about tomorrow. Liu Yuting slowed down her tone and patted Jiang Feng's thin shoulder.
"Mother, you should rest early, just call me if there is anything. Jiang Feng didn't expect his mother to scold him anymore, looking at his mother's sad face, he was also sad, and then Jiang Feng helped his mother lie down, covered his mother with a quilt, extinguished the candle, and turned around and walked out.
The night gradually deepened, and the room was dark, but Liu Yuting couldn't sleep for a long time. The past scenes came to mind, and Li Yuting couldn't help but shed tears again: "Brother Yue, you said that we should quit the rivers and lakes, stay incognito, stay away from the bloody wind and rain of the rivers and lakes, be an ordinary person, and live this life in peace and happiness, but now that things have developed to this point, what should I do?"
Bang, in the courtyard of an antique deep house in Beicheng, there was the sound of broken teacups. In the dim candlelight, a dark-skinned bald man, that complexion seemed to blend with the night, maybe it was the action of smashing the cup too violently, the bald man grinned, and couldn't help but gasp, but looking at his legs that couldn't help but clamp, everything became clear again. At this moment, the black wolf was like thunder: "Ergouzi, have you found out who that dwarf winter melon is?" I think my black wolf has been through a hundred battles, and he was defeated by a little hairy boy. Hmph, if it weren't for that stinky boy's tricks, how could he beat me, ahhhhh
"Second master, it's been found out. That kid's name is Jiang Feng, he lives in the slums in the west of the city, and he has a mother at home, and the two depend on each other. "The second dog has a small nose, round eyes, a bloated body, and two buck teeth, and he is a groundhog.
"Okay, good job, you go down first, and when I heal from my injuries, I must beat up that despicable stinky boy. Thinking of my own brother as the leader of the Black Dragon Gang, who would dare to give me such a faceless one? If I don't take revenge, it will be difficult to solve the hatred in my heart. The black wolf rubbed the injured area and said through gritted teeth.
"Yes, the little one has retired, second master, you should rest early. Ergouzi turned his bloated body and walked out with a twist, but muttered in his heart: "Alas, the younger brother of the dignified Black Dragon Gang leader, he doesn't learn and has no skills, and he doesn't care if he is lazy, why do you prefer to gamble on the Colosseum." Could it be that he is also like a gang leader in his heart, with the enthusiasm to dominate the rivers and lakes? No, after so many years, his martial arts are still so poor, and I haven't seen him practice martial arts, he hasn't grown at all, if it weren't for the people in Cangyun City who knew his identity, I'm afraid he would have been killed on the Colosseum a long time ago."
