Chapter 2 Li Feng

The sun was scorching in the sky, and only the sparse branches and leaves of a few old trees barely covered the scorching sun. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info brings that little bit of coolness to the people working under the trees.

A young man was carrying a small medicinal herb behind him, and dozens of medicinal herbs scattered in it exuded a faint green fragrance. At the same time, it can be seen that there are several already delicate red fruits lying quietly at the bottom of the medicine.

This young man doesn't look very old, his eyebrows are clear, but his body is a little thinner. He was wearing a burlap coat, but he could be seen in a strategic position, and he had been patched several times.

The hair is not messy, but because of the sweat, it has already been all stained together.

Taking a breath, he gently wiped the sweat on his forehead with his burlap-clad hand, but a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth

In front of him was a small village of less than seven or eight households, and the whole village was not very large, with less than thirty people living in this small village.

However, this village is extremely warm in Li Feng's eyes, because this is the home where he has lived for seven years!

Walking into the village, a middle-aged aunt was sitting under the tree in front of the door washing clothes, and when she saw Li Feng walking into the village, she raised her head and looked at him with a smile

"Aunt Wang is washing clothes!" Li Feng looked at the two people who were washing clothes, and shouted at the two with that innocent smile on his face

In two days, your uncle will go to town, and let him help you take them to sell them, and buy two pairs of medicines for your grandfather after the money, his cough is always dragging like this, it's not a solution!" There was a hint of concern in the aunt's words, but at the same time, there was a hint of pride in her eyes.

Aunt Wang's Uncle Wang is her man, a few years ago, this Uncle Wang was a hunter, because he went out hunting, but he didn't expect to encounter a seriously injured brown bear. After paying the price of blood, the brown bear was finally killed, and then he returned to the village to find other hunters in the village and transported the thousand-pound brown bear back.

In three days, the smell of bear meat wafted from every household in the whole village, and Li Feng ate the most meat in his life.

It didn't take long for Uncle Wang to take the processed bear skin to the town and sell it for a large amount of silver, and at the same time gave up the dangerous profession of being a hunter, and instead used the money to buy an ox cart, and traveled from village to village all year round, becoming a veritable merchant.

The money from pulling goods in an ox cart is not very much, but relatively speaking, it is much more profitable than that of a hunter, and the danger is much less. And Aunt Wang and her son also added a few brand new linen clothes.

Listening to Aunt Wang's words, Li Feng smiled and nodded, but he didn't say much.It's just that he knows his own situation better than anyone else.If you really want to completely cure your grandfather's illness, unless...

A small courtyard with several shelves in it, all filled with herbs that Li Feng had picked from the mountains. In the innermost part are two dilapidated adobe houses. The roof is also overgrown with weeds. Every night, it rustles with the wind.

"Grandpa, I'm back!" Li Feng put the little medicine in front of the door, took out a few red fruits inside, and washed them with well water before shouting into the house

Hearing the shouts of the wind, there was a coughing sound from inside the house. After a while, an old man came out of the house slowly on crutches.

"Xiao, the wind is back, it's okay!" the old man glanced at Li Feng with a hoarse look in his words, and asked with a thick look of concern in his eyes

"Grandpa, it's okay, I'm fine," Li Feng signaled that he hadn't been hurt this time, and at the same time put the few red fruits in the old man's hands

"It's so windy, grandpa won't eat it, you can eat it!" the old man's wrinkled face smiled, but the look of concern in his expression was undiminished.

"Grandpa, let's eat it, I read the medical book that says that this fruit is good for your body and can stop coughing!" Li Feng put the fruit in the old man's hand again

"Okay, okay, I've grown up, and I know that I feel sorry for my grandfather!" said the old man as he spoke, gently touching Li Feng's still wet hair with his hand.

It may be that the old man's body is really old, just such a simple action, and the hand starts to cough again before it can be withdrawn.

Seeing that the old man was coughing again, Li Feng dared to step forward and gently pat his grandfather on the back. After a while, the old man breathed a sigh of relief, but he still had a smile on his face

"Grandpa, you see this is the medicine I dug today. After two days the medicinal herbs are dry, Uncle Wang is going to the town, and then ask him to help you buy a few pairs of medicines.

The old man didn't say much, but just stepped forward to look at the little back with not many medicinal herbs, and his eyes were full of sorrow.

After helping Li Feng sort the medicinal materials inside and place them on the shelves in the courtyard, the two returned to the room.

Li Feng lit the fire in the kitchen, and the old man took a small wooden bowl to the side of the pottery urn, filled half a bowl of corn and cleaned it, and poured it into the boiling water.

Sighing, the old man shook his head as he looked at the pottery urn that had bottomed out.

He was very reluctant that Li Feng was still so young to start supporting his family, and other people's children should have lived a carefree life at his age. But in this family, because of his own reasons, Li Feng had to go out to collect medicine to support his family!

He knew that he was already old and had become a burden to Li Feng, and sometimes he really wanted to die, but he hadn't seen Li Feng marry a wife and have children, and he would go to the ground. If he dies at this time, he is not reconciled. Because he only has such a grandson!

A faint aroma of corn slowly wafted out of the pot. The two of them, who had been hungry for a day, swallowed their saliva when they smelled the fragrance.

"Grandpa, this bowl is for you!" Li Feng took out a bowl of slightly thick rice from the pot, put it in front of the old man, and said with an innocent smile on his face

"Hehe, grandpa is old, he can't eat so much, let's eat, now is the time for you to grow your body!" the old man smiled, and instead took another bowl in Li Feng's hand, which was as light as water and only could count the grains of rice, and said with a smile

"Grandpa..."Li Feng wanted to snatch back the bowl of light and good water, but he directly withdrew his hand in the old man's loving eyes.

He knew what his grandfather meant, and his grandfather felt sorry for himself, not that he couldn't eat it when he was old, but that he was afraid that he would be hungry.

Every time he sees his grandfather's eyes like this, Li Feng has an urge to cry, not because he is poor, but because he hates himself, why can't he grow up faster, if he has grown up now, then he can follow others to hunt in the mountains, and he doesn't have to pick the herb worth a few pennies every day, if he is lucky, maybe he will also hunt a fierce beast like Uncle Wang, and then he can use this fierce beast to buy a house in the city, or buy a cow and do the business of running a business.

If that's the case, maybe it won't be like now, two people, one old and one young, but let go because of a bowl of porridge with clear soup and water!

"Grandpa, don't worry, I will definitely let you live a life like Uncle Wang's family!" Li Feng did not give in to his grandfather, because he knew that no matter how he let him, in the end, this bowl of thick porridge would always be eaten by himself.

He didn't think of a way, and several times he divided the porridge with rice grains into two bowls, but at the end of the day, his grandfather would give the thickest part of the bottom of the bowl to himself on the grounds that he couldn't eat it.

He didn't want to make his grandfather angry because he wasn't in good health. Anger is nothing to ordinary people, but if it is the old man in front of him who has to use all his strength to even catch his breath, it is a very terrible thing. He doesn't want to lose his grandfather, he hopes that every day when he comes back from collecting medicine, he can let his grandfather touch his head and say words of concern for himself like today.
