The brothers who traveled westward in those years

Chapter 355 0356

Yu Jin helped an old woman to walk in front of Long Fei, and Long Fei greeted her warmly.Knowing that the old woman is the boy's mother, he also learned the boy's name.

The boy's surname is Xu, and his single name is Chu.Since he was a child, he and his mother depended on each other for life. In addition to planting a few acres of land reclaimed by the family, they also helped the villagers cultivate it.Xu Chu's mother and son are very popular in the village, and everyone knows that Xu Chu is extremely powerful.Seeing him fighting with others, the reason why he didn't come to watch was because he believed that Xu Chu had that strength.

"Chu'er, stop, stop hitting!"

"Mom! Let go of my mother! Come at me if you have the ability!"

"Xu Chu, you misunderstood."

Seeing Xu Chu rushing over, Long Fei signaled Ma Chao to stop.He helped the old woman towards Xu Chu, and gently stepped forward to support his old lady.Xu Chu looked at Long Fei warily, as if he was watching a man who killed his father and his enemy.

But Long Fei was not surprised at all, and said to Xu Chu with a smile: "What happened just now is our fault, here I apologize to you, we will pay for the damaged crops, do you think it's okay?"

Xu Chu said, "Okay!"

"Chu'er, forget it, it's not easy to go out, it's just trampling on a few of our crops." The old woman said.

"Okay, mother, I'll listen to you. Mother, let me help you back to the house, it's windy outside."

Xu Chu glanced at Long Fei, and then helped the old woman to the hut.Long Fei followed closely behind, but just as he was about to speak, Xu Chu glared back at him.

Xu Chu said: "Just now my mother said that you don't need to pay, why are you still following us?"

Long Fei's principle of doing things has always been that people respect me and I respect others.Since Xu Chu's mother and son didn't care about them, he couldn't be more stingy.Moreover, the old woman couldn't see anything, which made Long Fei feel compassionate.When helping the old woman just now, he checked the old woman's pulse.

If Long Fei was not mistaken, the old woman's eyes were not born, but she suffered from some kind of eye disease which led to her blindness.Specifically, he needed to investigate more carefully, so he followed Xu Chu's mother and son.

Hearing Long Fei express his intention, Xu Chu was overjoyed, and the old woman even wept with joy.Urging his son Xu Chu to call Long Fei into the house quickly, as for Lu Bu and others, they could only wait outside.Because Xu Chu's home is too small to accommodate so many people.

After calming down to feel the old woman's pulse, Long Fei finally confirmed his previous guess after spending an incense stick of time.It can be said that it is not bad at all, it is blindness caused by the deterioration of eye diseases.But the old woman is not only blind, half of her body has lost consciousness as early as two years ago, and now she walks entirely on crutches.

The old lady didn't even mention this to Xu Chu, and her son usually asked her why she was on crutches.She only said that she was getting old, and she was afraid of walking unsteadily and falling.Xu Chu also believed his mother's words, and never suspected that his mother's leg had long been out of control.

The most effective treatment is to prescribe the right medicine, and Xu Chu doesn't know how to decoct medicine at all.Moreover, there is no pharmacy in the village, so there are only two ways to take medicine first.One is to go to the mountains to collect herbs, and use some herbs with the same effect to replace the herbs in the prescription.The second way is to go to the city and buy medicines at the pharmacies in the county town hundreds of miles away from the village.

For Xu Chu, as long as his mother's illness can be cured, he is willing to sell the land and sell the house.But the village is too far away from the county town, even riding a horse takes half a day.When Xu Chu said this, Long Fei had already heard what he wanted to express.

Everyone thinks that they should go to the county town to buy medicine, but they ignore it.For a farmer with only a few acres of Susukida, how much money is there to buy those medicinal materials?

This prescription requires a total of seven medicines, one medicine for seven days and seven medicines a day.This medicine can only be boiled once, after which it is useless.Xu Chu didn't have that much money, and he didn't want to use Long Fei's money.The old woman also disagreed, and did not want her son to owe favors to others.Then you can only choose to dig the herbs yourself.

There is a mountain in the west of the village, and there are many herbs in the mountain.According to the local people, the mountain used to be called Shennong.It was one of the places where Shennong tasted all kinds of herbs, so there are many precious herbs in this mountain.

Long Fei took Xu Chu into the mountain, accompanied by Yu Jin and Dian Wei, and the rest stayed in the village to accompany the old lady.

After staying in the mountains for three days and three nights, Long Fei and the others returned to the village on the morning of the fourth day.When I first entered the village, the villagers were startled, thinking that four savages came from somewhere.

Many precious medicinal materials are hard to find, and those herbs grow more and more difficult to pick from one place to another.Especially those main ingredients, all of them grow on the mountainside.It can't go up or down, but it took a lot of effort for Long Fei and the others.Immediately after returning to the village, Long Fei brewed the medicine for the old lady.

On the first day, the old woman fell asleep after drinking the medicine, and there was no reaction in the morning.

The next day, the old woman couldn't fall asleep after drinking the medicine, and she was still unconscious when she woke up in the morning.

On the fifth day, the old woman drenched in sweat after drinking the medicine, and then fell asleep and woke up naturally.

On the evening of the seventh day, the old woman felt sensation in her arms and legs, which had been unconscious all along.She barely slept that night, and there was one person who didn't close her eyes all night just like her.That person was with her before, and the old woman didn't like him very much.But in the middle of the night, the man was still guarding the old woman.

Only now did the old lady fully understand that the man had no intention of being nice to her.So she told the man that she would repay him if she regained her sight and health.

What a long night, Long Fei has been chatting with the old lady.Chatted from dark to dawn, then unknowingly dropped the crutches, walked out of the thatched hut to cook in the courtyard.Accurately picked up the dry firewood on the ground, then poured water into the pot and started to boil the water.Long Fei stared blankly at what was happening, and the noise also woke up the others.

Xu Chu rubbed his eyes and stood up, vaguely seeing someone cooking.He was startled by a closer look, and hurried over to ask the old lady to rest aside.

And the old woman said: "The leaves of the vegetables are too yellow, I can't eat these vegetables."

Xu Chu was startled when he heard the words, and said in a trembling voice, "Mother, what did you just say?"

The old woman pointed to the yellowed vegetable leaves and said, "Didn't you see that the vegetable leaves are all yellow like this."

After saying the last word, the old woman stood there quietly, her hands trembling, as if she had been shocked by an electric shock.The vegetables fell to the ground one after another, but the old woman and Xu Chu ignored them.The mother and son, who have always been thrifty, threw the bag of vegetables on the ground so extravagantly for the first time, and then cried.

Seeing this touching scene, Diao Chan and the others also shed tears.The elders of Long Fei didn't cry, but they felt uncomfortable seeing this situation.

Long Fei, who was about to pull everyone out of the hut, was stopped by the crying old woman behind him.He called Long Fei back to the hut because he wanted to ask Long Fei to do her a favor.

The old woman knew very well what her son Xu Chu was capable of, and also knew that he had suffered a lot of grievances and stares over the years.But he has never had any complaints, he only hopes to be with his mother.Because his mother had limited mobility, he never left the village.The farthest place is to go to the mountains with Long Fei.

The old woman begged Long Fei, hoping to take her son Xu Chu away and let Xu Chu hang out with him.I hope Xu Chu can go out to see the world and learn more skills.

Before the old woman finished speaking, Xu Chu expressed her objection.He said that he would never leave the village, let alone his mother.He doesn't need to meet the world, and he doesn't want to know what the outside world looks like.

There were only three people left in the hut, the old woman sitting on the chair, Xu Chu kneeling in front of the old woman, and Long Fei standing beside Xu Chu.This matter should have been approved by Xu Chu, but now the old woman is determined to make decisions for her son.This was really embarrassing for Long Fei, and he didn't know whether to accept it or reject it.

Xu Chu knelt down and couldn't get up, he wanted his mother to take back what he had just said.He said that he wasn't going anywhere, and staying in the village with his mother was what he should and wanted to do most in his life.

The old woman looked at Xu Chu who was kneeling on the ground, and asked, "Chu'er, have you forgotten how you promised your father back then?"

Xu Chu's face changed slightly when he heard the word father, and he said, "Mom, I haven't forgotten, but my father also said back then that I should protect you well."

The old woman said: "If you really listen to your father, you should fulfill his last wish. Go to battle and kill the enemy to serve the court, and in the future you will become a mighty general. Let the world know about our Xu family, let the world know You are your father's pride. Let the world know that you, Xu Chu, are not trash."

When the old woman said these words, Xu Chu, who was kneeling on the ground, had already burst into tears.He had heard this a long time ago, when his father had just died.Someone from a nearby village went to join the army, and someone took a fancy to Xu Chu at that time.I hope he can join the army, and I can guarantee that he will have great achievements in the future.

It's just that that person was going to accept another person.That man is a school lieutenant, and all the soldiers he fancy have made good progress.Coupled with the criss-crossing network of relationships, this is basically a guarantee for smooth progress.And because of Xu Chu, the descendants of a certain family who had already been selected were left out in the cold.

In the end Xu Chu didn't go, and the descendant of that family got his wish.But he hated Xu Chu, and he also hated the people in Xu Chu's village.Anyway, that person is also a child of a family, so he won't compete with Xu Chu, but he also made Xu Chu's reputation even more ugly.Except for their village, people from all over the world were rumoring that Xu Chu was a waste.

He could bear this matter, but as her mother, he couldn't bear it.Suffering yourself and suffering the people you care about the most are two different things, and the same is true for being deliberately discredited.The old woman was blind due to an eye disease, and then almost became paraplegic.These words have been held in her heart for a long time, and she will let her son go outside to see the world no matter what she says today.

Looking at the expectant eyes of the old woman, Long Fei had to think carefully.He can't easily agree to this matter, but it's not easy to refuse directly.He tried to persuade the old woman, telling her that there are many ways to get ahead.It is not necessarily necessary to go into battle to kill the enemy, after all, it is too risky to fight and kill.

Every battle will be sacrificed, and every battle is a test of life and death.Those who can survive are still a minority, and those who can rely on military exploits to reach high positions step by step are even fewer.Everyone has that kind of idea, but it is indeed one in ten thousand that can be realized.

The old woman lifted her son who was kneeling on the ground, and motioned for him to salute Long Fei.Then he smiled and said to Long Fei: "The old woman has lived most of her life, and I know more about the truth than you. My child, you don't need to say anything. Starting today, I will officially hand over Chu'er to you. Don't beg you I'm partial to him, I just hope you can treat him equally in the future."

Long Fei still wanted to explain, but at this time Xu Chu had already knelt on one knee, clasped his fists and said in a respectful voice: "Xu Chu pays homage to the lord!"

A sense of pride welled up spontaneously, and Long Fei swallowed the words back.It's no big deal to be indifferent to life and death.Isn't it just an extra responsibility, you don't have to worry about heavy burdens, and you don't get ticklish when you have too many lice.
