Chapter 1: Adventures in the Wind and Snow (1)

Next Chapter

Whew-Whew-Whew-

The cold wind roared, the sky was covered with clouds, and the goose-featherlike snow was falling, and the land and mountains were already covered in silver, including Lijia Village, which was backed by the mountains.

Behind Lijia Village is the mountains, with fields and small rivers on both sides and in front of the village, and a large road leading to the town.

The snow was still falling, and the sky was so dark and cold that few people in the village came out and walked around, and they all kept warm at home.

At this moment, two people appeared on the main road at the head of the village, one small and one large, one in front of one and one behind, running on the road. Running in front was a little girl, with a small hat on her head, a small coat on her body, and cotton shoes on her feet. She ran too fast, her feet slipped, her body leaned forward, and she immediately fell and gnawed on the mud. The adults behind hurriedly caught up, he was holding a box in his hand, and pulled her up with the other hand and said, "Xiaoxue run slowly, you see you fall!"

This is an old man, also with a hat on his head, dressed in a robe, about seventy years old, with a handful of goatees, thin and thin, but his eyes are bright and bright, and he looks very energetic.

The little girl said, "Grandpa Zhang, hurry up, if you don't go, my father will die of pain!"

"I know, grandpa is old and can't outrun you, but you have to be careful, don't fall. ”

They entered the village and walked straight to the back of the village, until they came to a wooden house at the back of the village. They went into the small courtyard fenced by the fence, and then into the hut. The hall of the wooden house is not large, only a few farm tools are placed in the upper left corner, there is a table and a few stools in the center of the hall, and a pile of miscellaneous items are piled up in the upper right corner. Despite all these things, the whole hall still felt very crowded.

As soon as the two entered the hall door, they heard a groan from the room on the right. The little girl hurriedly said, "Grandpa Feng, go and take a look, my father is really in pain." ”

The two entered the room on the right, which was very dark, and there was a bed diagonally opposite the door, on which lay a man with a quilt and blood stains on it. Lying on the bed was a man of forty years old, with thick eyebrows, big eyes, a beard, and a pale face.

As soon as the man looked at the little girl and the old man, he said weakly: "Doctor Zhang is here." ”

Doctor Zhang said: "I already know about you, and your daughter has told me everything." So saying, he took off all his hats.

The girl named Xiaoxue also took off the small hat and the robe. She wears two small pigtails, and her eyes are blinking, which is very cute. Her skin is snow-white and her facial features are exquisite.

Doctor Zhang lifted the quilt and couldn't help but be stunned, only to see that the man's left leg was bloodstained, and his knee was swollen, and it was all blue and black.

"Doctor Zhang, can I still be cured?"

Doctor Zhang didn't answer, he reached out and touched the man gently, the man immediately hissed in pain, Doctor Zhang gently washed the knee of the man's left leg, and said: "You are so swollen, I tried it just now, the knee bone has been cracked, and I can't do anything about it." ”

"W-what can I do about this?" the man frowned.

"I'll bandage you first, but it's difficult to put on the splint, so I can only get you some medicine to apply it, and then prescribe a prescription for you, one to reduce swelling and relieve pain, and the other to promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, but if you want to walk normally, I'm afraid it's impossible." ”

Dr. Zhang was busy for nearly an hour and a half by checking the pulse, cleaning the wound and bandaging. The man said: "Thank you Dr. Zhang, it's just that the medical expenses and consultation fees are ......" Dr. Zhang immediately said: "This is okay, I also know your situation, it is not easy to pull a daughter, and there are no relatives to help, so give the money if you can give it in the future." ”

"Thank you so much. ”

Doctor Zhang packed up his things and said: "Mohai, I didn't say you, you said that you went to the mountains in the cold, the mountains are full of potholes, and there is a hole if you are not careful, but the vegetation is very lush, and you can't see these holes at all." No, you accidentally fell into it, but fortunately someone found out, otherwise no one would have known about dying there. ”

This man's name is Mohai, and he is one of the few residents of Lijia Village with a different surname, and it is said that his grandfather moved here. It's just that from his grandfather to him, he doesn't have any siblings, and he only has such a daughter, named Mo Xue. Mo Hai said: "I don't want to get some game before the New Year, the family has not touched meat twice a year, this is not about the New Year, think about Xiaoxue and I are vegetarian every day, I, I really can't bear it!"

"I know you want your daughter to eat something good, but the mountains are very dangerous, and you can't take any risks in the winter, the weather is cold, the ground is slippery, and it is very dangerous. Now it's okay, there's nothing left, and I'm still on one leg. I also know that you are bitter, if you want Xiaoxue to eat some meat, you can just tell me no, Xiaoxue I like this kid very much, why do you want to run to the risk?"

Mo Hai stopped talking, and Dr. Zhang said: "I'll go back first, I'll ask my granddaughter to send you some cooked meat later, and I'll let my grandson bring you another twenty catties of meat to marinate, and you can have a good time during the New Year, so you can lie down in peace." And Li Da in your village is also quite familiar with you, and he will definitely come to help. ”

"This, how embarrassing, we can't have this meat, I, I ......"

"It's all like this, what kind of face do you care about! Don't say it, I'll let them send it later!"

Doctor Zhang seemed to be a little angry, Mo Hai looked at him with an embarrassed face, and Doctor Zhang said again: "Okay, I'll go back first, it's almost dark!"

"Doctor Zhang, go slowly!"

Anyway, Dr. Zhang walked out of the door and saw Mo Xue standing at the opposite door, and she was looking at Dr. Zhang motionlessly. Doctor Zhang walked over and said with a smile, "Xiaoxue, what's wrong?" Xiaoxue said, "Grandpa, can my father be okay?"

Dr. Zhang couldn't bear to say it directly, so he said: "It can be good, it can be good." Mo Xue didn't say a word, then turned around and ran into the room, and then came to Dr. Zhang, holding the bowl with both hands and said, "Grandpa, this is the porridge I cooked, grandpa eat it!" Mo Xue stopped holding it, Dr. Zhang walked to the door of the hall, Mo Xue put the bowl on the table, and then also went to the door, waved his hand and said, "Goodbye, grandpa!"

After Dr. Zhang left, Mo Xue opened the cover on the table, put a bunch of pickles in the porridge bowl with chopsticks, and then came to Mo Hai's side.

"Daddy!" Mo Xue held the bowl in both hands and looked at Mo Hai. Mo Hai looked at the daughter in front of him, and thought that his left leg was useless, and his nose couldn't help but be sore. He took the bowl with his trembling hand and ate it with tears in his eyes. Mo Xue took the bowl over, made a bowl to eat, and after eating, moved a stool and sat next to Mo Hai.

Mo Xue kept looking at Mo Hai until he fell asleep, and then she ran to the inner room to sleep.

I don't know how long it took, there was a knock on the door outside, and Mo Hai woke up immediately, he shouted, "Who is it?"

The knock on the door came from the hall door, and then there was an old woman's voice: "I am an old woman begging everywhere, just because the wind and snow are too strong, and I am hungry, so I want to come to beg for a bowl of porridge to drink." ”

As soon as Mo Hai heard this, he shouted to the inner room: "Xiaoxue, get up quickly, someone is coming!" Mo Xue was woken up, she ran to Mo Hai's side and said, "What's wrong Daddy?" Mo Hai said: "Someone outside the door wants to ask for a bowl of porridge, you go and take a look." ”

Mo Xue came to the hall door, and she saw through the crack in the door that there was indeed an old woman outside the door, so she opened the door. As soon as the door opened, the cold wind poured in instantly, and Mo Xue immediately shivered. The old woman staggered in with a bamboo stick brewing. Her face was wrinkled, her hair was gray, her body was even thinner, and her whole body was trembling. Mo Xue hurriedly closed the door, the old woman sat down, Mo Xue ran to the kitchen, and soon came out with a bowl of porridge, the old woman took the porridge and devoured it, so that she ate three bowls before she was full.

"Thank you, little girl. ”

Mo Hai in the room said: "Auntie, the weather is so cold now, and there is heavy snow outside, you can live here." As soon as the old woman heard this, she got up and went into the room and came to Mo Hai's side: "Thank you, little brother, but what's the matter with your leg?" Mo Hai sighed and said, "Don't mention it, my leg fell." The old woman said: "Your family is still willing to help such a down-and-out old woman like me in such a situation, which shows that you are a good person, and I believe that good people have good rewards." ”

Mo Xue also came in, and Mo Hai said: "Auntie, you can stay with me tonight, the back room is still empty." The old woman said embarrassedly: "How can this be embarrassing?"

Mo Xue said: "Grandma, you can just live, I can sleep with my father." The old woman reached out and touched Mo Xue's head, and said with a smile: "The little girl is so good-looking now, and she will definitely look better when she grows up." Mo Hai said: "The wind and snow outside are so big, you can live there." The old woman couldn't push it, so she said, "Okay, just stay for one night." ”

Mo Xue slept on the inside of Mohai, and the old woman slept in the back room.

On the morning of the second day, Mo Xue climbed up. She suddenly remembered the old woman sleeping in the back room, so she ran over to take a look, but there was no one on the bed at all, she came out and said to Mo Hai: "Daddy, that old grandmother is gone!"

Mo Hai felt strange, so he said, "Did she leave while we were asleep?" Mo Xue ran to the door of the hall and found that the door was still tethered, she ran in again and said: "The door of the hall is still tethered, is it possible that the old grandmother went out through the door and through the wall?" Mo Xue looked at Mo Hai, Mo Hai was also shocked, and secretly thought in her heart: "Could it be that this old lady is not a mortal?" He thought about it again, and couldn't help but suddenly realize, and immediately regretted it:" Oh, why am I so stupid, my family lives at the back of the village, and there is only a road up the mountain behind, how can an old woman be so powerful, can she still go over the mountains and mountains, even if she comes to beg in front of the village, it will not be my turn to beg, so many people in front of her have already given her food, I am so stupid, I am so stupid!" Mo Hai regretted it very much, and looked annoyed.

"What's wrong with Daddy?" Mo Xue looked at Mo Hai, and Mo Hai said, "Daddy is fine." Mo Xue said: "That old grandmother must be a fairy, isn't it, and Daddy must be annoyed because he missed it, isn't it?" Mo Hai was stunned for a moment, thinking that this girl was really smart.

Mo Xue is indeed smart, she has been very smart since she can speak, and people in the village say that she is young but her intelligence is higher than ordinary people, which Mo Xue knows what is going on at a glance.

Mo Xue said: "If I had known that the old woman was a fairy, I would have begged her to heal my father's leg, but ...... Woo woo!" Saying that, she was still crying, and Mo Hai comforted her: "Xiaoxue, don't cry, I believe that the gods will definitely come back." ”

"Really?"

"Of course, Xiaoxue is so smart, the fairy will definitely like you, and she will definitely come back. ”

Mo Xue stopped crying, and said, "I'll cook." ”

Mo Xue walked out of the door and came to the hall, when she suddenly heard a knock on the door. Mo Xue opened the door and saw a teenager and a young girl standing in front of the door. The boy was carrying a piece of pork in his hand, and the girl was also carrying a small piece of pork in one hand, and a large bag of things in the other, I don't know what it was. The young man said to Mo Xue: "Sister Xiaoxue, we are sending meat." Mo Xue immediately exclaimed, "Brother Yun is good, Sister Ping is good, is it grandpa who asked you to send it?"

"Yes, grandpa asked us to send it. So saying, the boy came in with the maiden.

Mo Xue hurriedly ran into the room and said to Mo Hai: "Brother Yun and Sister Ping are here, they still have a lot of meat!"

"Huh, really?" Mo Hai quickly sat up. The boy and the girl came into the room, and they had already put the meat on the table outside.

"Hello Uncle Mo. The two of them shouted in unison.

"Hello two nephews, I'm really troublesome to you, you gave me free medical treatment and sent me so much meat, I really don't know how to thank you. ”

These two are Dr. Zhang's grandchildren, one is named Zhang Yun and the other is Zhang Ping.

Zhang Ping said: "Uncle Mo don't mind, it stands to reason that we should have sent it over yesterday, but my grandfather is old and has a bad memory, so he forgot it long ago when he got home, and it wasn't until this morning that my grandfather suddenly remembered it, so he asked us to send it over." ”

"Thank you so much for coming here early in the morning. ”

Zhang Yun said again: "By the way, my grandfather also prescribed medicine, and by the way, he also sent it over." He went out for a moment and came in again, carrying a big bag of things.

Mo Hai was grateful again, Zhang Ping said: "Grandpa told us that there are seven pairs of medicines here, each of which is divided into three parts, each of which is stewed three times, once in the morning, noon and evening, and each time the medicine is stewed for half an hour, and the potion can be taken." ”

"Got it, thank you so much. ”

Zhang Ping said again: "Uncle doesn't have to be polite, this is what grandpa ordered, let's just do it." Okay, I'll help my uncle cook, and by the way, I'll make a broth for my uncle and Xiaoxue. ”

"Thank you, Sister Ping!" Mo Xue exclaimed happily.

It is said that Zhang Ping dragged Mo Xue to the kitchen, and the two were very busy, while Zhang Yun came in with a urine bucket, and then helped Mo Hai up for convenience, after all, the feces and urine on his body made him anxious, and Mo Xue couldn't help when he was young.

Mo Xue and Zhang Ping cooked a meal and let Mo Hai eat it together, Zhang Ping and Zhang Yun brothers and sisters did not leave, helped Mo Xue marinate the meat, stored it in the tank, and said: "You can eat it in half a month." ”

It was still snowing in the morning, and there was already a thick layer of snow on the ground, and Mo Xue couldn't bear it, so he took the Zhang family brothers and sisters to the yard to play in the snow.

Saying that, the three of them were having fun, and a group of children came outside, some men and women, tall and short. The leader was about ten years old, wearing a gray cloth cotton jacket and a cotton hat on his head, and he shouted to Mo Xue: "Sister Mo Xue, let's go out to play together!" Seeing this, Mo Xue glanced at the hall door and said, "Brother Li Yun, I'm not going!"

That kid is called Li Yun, the son of Li Da in the village, and he has a good time with Mo Xue, and he happened to come to Mo Xue to play this time. Zhang Ping saw what Mo Xue meant, so she said to Mo Xue: "You just go out and play with them, your father has us." ”

"Then I'm going to play, thank you brother and sister!"

Watching Mo Xue jump away, Zhang Yun said with a smile: "Xiaoxue is really smart, no wonder grandpa likes her very much." ”

Mo Xue and Li Yun and a group of children ran to a clearing behind them, and you chased me and chased me very happily. After about half an hour of playing, everyone stopped. At this time, Li Yun asked Mo Xue: "Mo Xue, what happened to your father?" Mo Xue said: "My father is still lying on the bed." Li Yun exclaimed, "Ah, your father won't really break his leg, right?" An eight- or nine-year-old boy next to him said: "I heard my father say that Mo Xue's father accidentally fell into a deep pit and fell so badly." Li Yun said again: "Then won't your father become a limp in the future?"

"You're a limp person!" Mo Xue blushed and became excited.

Li Yun saw that she was angry, and he didn't dare to say this again, so he said again: "Okay, okay, your father won't limp, he will definitely be fine." In fact, Li Yun was quite afraid of Mo Xue, especially when Mo Xue was angry, he didn't dare to talk nonsense.

"Why don't we play hide and seek, whoever loses rock-paper-scissors will catch us!"

"Okay, okay!"

"Rock-paper-scissors!"

"Why me again!" Mo Xue was anxious, she didn't expect that everyone else was rock, so she scissors.

Li Yun was snickering, and said, "You are blindfolded and don't peek, let's go hide first!"

Mo Xue blindfolded and began to count: "One, two, three, four......."

Mo Xue was blindfolded for a long time, and she didn't hear any movement, so she asked, "Are you all right, I'm coming to you!" But when she asked, no one answered. At this moment, she felt a hot breath in her face, and she also smelled a heavy fishy smell, she put down her hand and looked at it, and was immediately stunned.

I saw two huge nostrils facing her, a pair of huge blood-red eyes staring at her, and in front of her was a huge monster with a hideous face. The skin on its body was red, and it had two large horns on its head, like a cow but not a cow, and Mo Xue's petite body seemed even smaller in front of it.

Mo Xue stood still, looking at the huge monster, then suddenly burst into tears, then turned and ran. The giant beast chased after him from behind, Mo Xue ran with her head stuffy, shouting in her mouth: "Help, there are monsters!" Mo Xue only understood why they didn't respond at this time, they must have seen this giant beast when they were hiding, so they all hid and didn't dare to come out.

Mo Xue ran all the way, but because she was in too much of a hurry, she accidentally tripped and fell into the mud, and then turned to watch the giant beast slowly approach.

"Wow!" Mo Xue cried even harder, and the giant beast once again pointed its nostrils at Mo Xue, spewing hot air. When the other children saw that the giant beast was only targeting Mo Xue, they hurriedly ran away, shouting as they ran: "Monster, help!"
