Text Chapter 3 The grace of a drop of water is repaid with a spring
Fang Zheng left the pharmacy with the little girl, and at this moment he was very happy that his worries were gone. It was still early to go out, and there were many shops on the street whose doors were still open, so they were interested in shopping, and after obtaining the consent of the little girl, the two of them walked towards the middle of the street.
Shen Langzhong's pharmacy is located at the corner of the street, and next to the pharmacy is a blacksmith shop, and there is still a sound of harmony at this moment, it seems that the shopkeeper is working hard. Seeing this, Fang Zheng's heart moved, and now he is not able to travel far, so he must stay here for a long time, although he still has some money on his body, but it is not a way to sit and eat empty. And he also wants to help Aunt Zhao and Yaya improve their lives, which is far from enough.
Fang Zheng learned bow and arrow archery with Zhang Qi for a period of time when he was in Qingniu. Originally, I just thought that scholars should be as good as the ancients and the six arts, and like the poet Li Bai, who drank with a sword, how chic. Now it seems that it is a means of making a living, and although I have never hunted, I can learn anything. In addition, on the way here, Fangzheng also passed through many mountains, forests and wilderness, and found that the number of creatures far exceeds that of the earth, and the number of pheasants, hares, elk, foxes, etc. can be seen everywhere, and it should not be difficult to hunt. Now that you've come across a blacksmith's shop, you might as well buy a bow and arrow and give it a try.
Thinking like this, Fang Zheng simply walked in with the little girl. A hot breath rushed to the face, driving away the chill of late autumn. Fang Zheng hurriedly stood still, looking up but he didn't see a fire or anything like that. The clanging sound of striking iron was still loud, but it came from the back hall. Fang Zheng knew that he was wrong, and originally thought that the blacksmith worked in this room. But now it seems that there is another processing place behind the store. "I also blame myself for not being knowledgeable, how can I sell goods when I strike iron in the store?" Fang Zheng secretly embarrassed!
Coming back to his senses, Fang Zheng began to look at it, this shop was quite large, the floor was paved with blue bricks, it looked a little empty, only four walls were hung with various kinds of ironware. There was no one in the room, and there was a smaller portal on the wall facing the two of them, presumably the entrance to the backyard. Fang Zheng also saw the bow and arrow, hanging on the wall on the left, and the four bows lined up were very conspicuous. He didn't rush forward to take a look, there was no one in the store, and it was always bad to touch other people's things by himself.
"Brother Niu, are you there?" the little girl called up when she saw that there was no one in the store at this time. Although she didn't know what Fang Zheng was going to do, she was definitely right to call the boss first.
"Who's coming, coming!" The people inside probably didn't hear the little girl's voice clearly because they were striking iron, and walked out in response. I saw a shirtless hardcover guy coming out of the door, and when he saw Fang Zheng and the little girl, he immediately showed a sincere smile, "It's Yaya, why did you come to me today, don't you always say that it's too noisy here on weekdays." Speaking of which, the guy glanced at Fang Zheng, and the expression on his face should have guessed his identity. "It's Brother Fang who is looking for you for something. The little girl replied.
"Oh"
The guy's eyes moved to Fang Zheng
"What does this friend need?"
"I want a bow and a few pots of arrows, but I don't know if my friends have them for sale here?"
"There are all of them, the ones hanging on the wall over there are finished products, you can see if there is any suitable use, if there are any special requirements, you can also customize, keep it to your satisfaction!"
The young man's attitude instantly became enthusiastic, and Fang Zheng sighed in his heart, under this seemingly rough appearance, he was such a philistine.
"I'll give it a try. Fang Zheng was also less polite, and walked directly to the wall with the bow and took it down directly. I tried it, and the strength felt a little lighter. I changed to another one, and the strength was just right.
"My friend has good arm strength, this is a strong bow, but there are not many people who can pull it. The shopkeeper smiled and patted his ass. Fang Zheng didn't bother to entangle with him, and said, "Take two more pots of ordinary feather arrows, how much silver is in total." ”
"Okay, this bow is made of fine ironwood, count you three taels of silver, and two pots of feather arrows wipe the odds and count you one tael, a total of four taels of silver. After speaking, he turned around and went into the back room, and came out with two pots of feather arrows, and looked at them, each pot was twenty, and the workmanship was also excellent. So I paid the money, picked up the things, took the little girl, turned around and left, and didn't say anything more.
When he got out, Fang Zheng was a little embarrassed for a while, at this time he was holding a pot of feather arrows and a bow in his left hand, and another pot of feather arrows in his right hand. He also wanted to continue shopping, and then help the little girl and Aunt Zhao buy some clothes and other things. So he came to Shen Langzhong's pharmacy again, and after asking Shen Langzhong if he would close the store for the time being, he stored his things there. Then I took the little girl and continued to go shopping.
It wasn't until it was dark that Fang Zheng took the little girl back to the courtyard with a big bag and a small bag, and Aunt Zhao was waiting at the gate of the courtyard. Fang Zheng apologized and said, "The kid got up for a while, and took the girl to go shopping for a while, which made the aunt worried." He bowed slightly and apologized.
"Don't worry, my aunt is also old and can't sleep, so I'm waiting for you here. Aunt Zhao's weather-beaten face had a kind smile on it.
"Grandma, grandma, Brother Fang bought a lot of beautiful clothes for Yaya, do you look good? and grandma's, they are all in the baggage. The little girl was wearing a cotton jacket with broken flowers, and at this time she happily took Aunt Zhao's hand and turned left and right.
"Good, good-looking, Yaya looks the best today. "Aunt Zhao said lovingly. "Go and help your brother Fang get things in, grandma will talk to him. As he spoke, he touched the little girl's head.
"Well, Yaya, let's take it in. The little girl happily entered the house with the burden of clothes. Aunt Zhao was also very happy when she looked at the little girl's happy appearance, and her face was full of doting.
"Xiao Fang, the child is not sensible, don't get used to her like this, just eat and dress warmly, why spend so much. It is only right to save some money and find a good girl to live in the future. ”
"Hehe, the kid saved it, and it didn't cost a lot of money. It's good that Yaya is happy. ”
"This kid has suffered since he was a child, but he has suffered, and today he is really happy. Aunt Zhao was also a little sad when she said this.
"It's not easy for the eldest lady to take care of the girl so well, and it will get better in the future. ”
"Yes, as long as people live, there is hope, and life will get better day by day. It's just that I'm already old, so I'm afraid I won't be able to survive the day she grows up. Aunt Zhao's words made Fang Zheng a little sad to hear.
"Auntie, you are old and strong, and it will not be a problem to live for another twenty or thirty years. Fang Zheng could only say comfort, but he knew that his words were not realistic. People who have worked hard all their lives like the eldest mother have reached such an age, often looking tough but like a machine that is about to be scrapped, unable to withstand any external force, and the body has already suffered serious losses.
"As for Yaya, don't you have to worry about it, isn't there still my big brother. Fang Zheng is not a person who will promise easily, but this sentence is said without half hesitation. The sages said, "The grace of a drop of water is reciprocated by a spring." "When Zhang Qi saved him, it took Fang Zheng three years to repay the favor. Now Aunt Zhao's biggest concern here is Yaya, Fang Zheng feels that he is duty-bound, not to mention that he still likes this little girl very much.
"Hehe, good! Okay, this girl can have a big brother like you, that's her blessing" Aunt Zhao was very happy to hear Fang Zheng's words, everyone has selfishness, Yaya is the only selfish heart of Aunt Zhao. She didn't think so much when she saved Fang Zheng that day, but today she was happy like a bird when she saw Yaya sticking to Fang Zheng and running forward and running, and Fang Zheng was chopping wood and repairing houses, which brought long-lost vitality to this dilapidated courtyard where only their ancestors and grandchildren had been there for more than ten years, and the most important thing was that Aunt Zhao could see that Fang Zheng really liked Yaya. At this moment, she was very relieved to hear Fangzheng's promise, and the worries and knots in her heart for many years had finally settled, and she was a lot more relaxed all of a sudden. For many years, I have been nervous and dare not make any mistakes, but my ancestors and grandchildren have come to this day, but Aunt Zhao feels more and more powerless, and her body is getting worse. But Yaya is still young, and she still has to hold on. Now that the little girl finally has something to rely on, she can be blinded even if she dies now.
"It's not early, let's go and rest, I'm tired today. ”
"Okay, auntie, you should rest early. ”
Aunt Zhao walked towards the house, her steps were steady, and even her rickety body seemed to be a little straighter. Fang Zheng kept watching Aunt Zhao enter the house and close the door before turning around and going back to the house. In fact, Mrs. Zhao's words just now Fang Zheng had already prepared for it. After all, since he woke up, he hadn't really communicated anything with this life-saving benefactor, and in Fang Zheng's mind, Aunt Zhao would at least ask where he came from, where he went, and what his plans were in the future. But I never thought that Aunt Zhao had never mentioned it. He knew that this was due to Aunt Zhao's kindness and trust, and Fang Zheng was only full of emotion in his heart at this time.
As for the future plan, Fang Zheng also has a rough draft. The most important thing now is to first figure out how to go after the nameless exercises that you are cultivating crookedly. He put his hope in Shen Langzhong, that senior knew a lot, and he should be able to gain something, and at worst, he could figure out problems such as meridian dantian through him. The only difficulty is how to make Shen Lao willing to speak. This will have to wait until tomorrow to try the attitude of others. Then there is the problem of survival, and Fangzheng's plan is also obvious, hunting! The third is the problem of Yaya. I have promised Aunt Zhao just now, and Yaya's sister Fang Zheng also likes it in her heart. It's just that this Shenjia Village is not the end of his own after all, and he will leave after all. This time will not be too long, Fang Zheng originally planned to stay here for about a year, use this time to better understand the world, and by the way, see if he can improve his martial arts, this is also a decision made today after confirming that he has practiced internal qi. And what should Yaya do when the time comes? Do you leave with you? Let's not say whether Aunt Zhao is willing or not, but I don't know how much to go to Qingyun this time, and there are too many unknowns and risks in the future. Fangzheng didn't have half the confidence to protect the little girl. And it is even more impossible to leave Yaya here, not to mention the promise, Aunt Zhao will always leave one day, and it is even more unimaginable to let Yaya live alone.
Fang Zheng's head was a little big, so he simply didn't think about it anymore. "Plans can never catch up with change" Let's see as we go......
Fang Zheng blew out the oil lamp and lay down on the bed
