People came and went in the street, and all kinds of hawking voices never stopped from the street to the end of the street.
The tavern in the east, the pawnshop in the west, and the whole Xiaoshi Town are more lively on this market day.
"Grandpa, can you take me to buy a firewood knife later? My firewood knife has been broken. I spent a lot of effort to cut back a bundle of firewood two days ago." A pair of pure eyes looked at Lin Cheng.
Looking at the sensible young man in front of him, Lin Cheng felt very complicated. He nodded slowly and said with a smile, "I have already let you change one. You can use it until it is bad."
"Haha, it broke in the last two days. It will be more convenient for me to go up the mountain when I change a new firewood knife. It's not a mistake to cut firewood when I open the road." The boy seemed to imagine the sharpness of the new firewood knife, and he giggled.
Xiaoshi Town is the most prosperous place in the nearby Shiliba Village, and every New Year's Day is the market day in the town.
Nearby mountain people and farmers will rush to the town to do business in these two days.
Use the crops in hand or some prey and medicinal materials on the mountain to exchange for their own needs.
The old and young are the villagers of the surrounding Xiaoshi Village, who come to the market to exchange daily necessities.
The old man Lin Cheng is the village head of Xiaoshi Village. When he was young, he was also a talented person in the eight villages of ten miles. His horizontal Kung Fu training is also famous in the surrounding areas.
Unfortunately, if you are old and infirm this year, you can only rely on your young reputation to return to Xiaoshi Town and become a small village head.
Although the old man looks like an old farmer, he knows very well in his heart that he just happened to practice some foreign kung fu.
It may be considered as a person in the village, but in other places, the security team in Xiaoshi Town can use the long gun in their hands to make a sieve.
Therefore, Lin Cheng didn't expect to be rich. When he was young, he wandered around and made some money. He was tired of the world today, so he returned to Xiaoshi Village and became a small village head.
Now Lin Cheng has no other ideas. He only wants to raise the boy around him.
If you can hold the boy's child in your lifetime, there will be no regret in your life.
Of course, this is just to think that some things for Lin Cheng may not have the opportunity to achieve.
"Didi~"
While Lin Cheng's thoughts were surging, a bright black car slowly passed the road paved with bluestone slabs.
When people in the street saw this novel gadget, they gave way to it for fear of offending the big people sitting in the car.
However, Lin Cheng's turbid eyes with a ray of bright eyes looked at the car that had gone away in some doubt.
People in Xiaoshi Town can often see this kind of car, so they are not too curious. As long as they do not offend the big people on the car, it will not affect them.
But the boy beside Lin Cheng is different from the people around him. He never saw a car several times when he stayed in the village.
"Grandpa, that's a car. Uncle Zhu said that it's only for rich people to sit there. It's very comfortable to sit in it.
In the future, when Feng'er earns money, he will also buy one for his grandfather. " The boy beside the old man's eyes brightened, looking at the new car excitedly.
Lin Cheng was immediately gratified when he heard this. He was only a few months old when he picked up the boy. It's not easy to feed him.
When he picked up the boy, he had only one jade pendant carved with a mountain peak, besides his bag. Lin Cheng simply asked him to follow his family name and pick the peak character from his name.
Lin Feng! This is the name of this 14-year-old boy.
"Ha ha~Feng Er has a heart, but grandpa doesn't want you to be rich in the future, as long as you can live well in the future." Lin Cheng was very pleased and laughed.
As a person who has wandered outside, Lin Cheng knows that there is danger hidden in the busy world outside.
So in fact, he did not hope that his grandson, who had been picked up for nothing, would suffer outside in the future.
This is the feeling of an old man. Only after seeing him can he have such a complex mood.
But Lin Cheng didn't know that since people already exist in the world, some things can't be avoided after all.
Even if a person is ordinary, it will also be affected by external factors.
It's just that the old man will eventually have that beautiful wish in his heart.
Looking at his grandfather's bright and happy smile, Lin Feng felt a strange feeling, which was a complex emotion.
When he was young, he knew that Lin Cheng was not his own grandfather. He was just picked up and raised by his grandfather.
For more than ten years, although there is no blood relationship between the two, they are closer than those who are related by blood.
As the saying goes, if you are born without nourishment, you can return the severed fingers; if you are born with nourishment, you can return the severed heads; if you are not born with nourishment, you will never forget it.
Although this is not very comprehensive, Lin Cheng is not obligated to raise Lin Feng, but he still raises him up, even treating him like his own grandson.
He took good care of Lin Feng when he was a baby. He taught him to read without writing when he was a child. Now he teaches Lin Feng to be a man and do things. He even takes out his coffin book to buy medicine for Lin Feng to nourish his body and let him practice martial arts.
In a world where most people can't eat enough and wear warm clothes, and even their families will be broken by war, Lin Cheng is definitely better than most people for Lin Feng.
Even more emotionally than most of their relatives.
Lin Feng did not speak, but imprinted his grandfather's figure deeply in his heart.
Although he is young, he is very sensible when he was only a relative like grandpa.
The children of the poor are early masters, so Lin Feng has always been much more mature than his peers.
There is no war in Xiaoshi Town, so most people are living fairly well. When other people's children are still fishing, catching shrimp and digging eggs, Lin Feng has already gone up the mountain with his grandfather to cut firewood and collect herbs.
The mountain is dangerous. When Lin Cheng refused to go up the mountain together when he was young, Lin Feng would go to the periphery of the mountain alone and pick up some firewood at the foot of the mountain to reduce his burden.
Fortunately, there is no danger outside. After many visits, even if Lin Cheng worries about Lin Feng again, he can't do anything about it.
Lin Feng had grown up in the past two years. After three entreaties, Lin Cheng agreed to take Lin Feng to the mountain to collect herbs.
It is precisely because he has experienced hardships and learned from childhood that every gain requires sweat, even blood, that Lin Feng will want to lead his grandfather to a rich and happy life.
So after seeing the car, Lin Feng got the idea and spoke out his desire.
He wants to repay his grandpa for his upbringing and do his best to give him the best life.
"Hurry up, smelly boy. We have to hurry back after shopping. We must get home before dark.
If we procrastinate any longer, we can't afford to stay in a hotel. If we can't get back, we'll have to sleep on the street. " Looking at his grandson's bright eyes, Lin Cheng couldn't help laughing and scolding.
How can Lin Cheng, the grandson he raised himself, not know his character? As long as he has identified something, he must continue to do it, even if the process requires countless setbacks.
Lin Feng grinned, followed Lin Cheng's steps, and replied, "Yes, I always say it's not safe to walk on the road at night, but I don't feel it's not safe.
My body forging skill has reached the fourth level. I don't feel the fist of Little Tiger hitting me any more. There is nothing unsafe on the road. "
"What's the use of the fourth floor? Can you carry a knife? A robber jumped out and gave you a knife. You can carry it?
Besides, there are not only evil people in the world. You are still young. " Lin Cheng laughed and scolded with some disdain.
Lin Feng has long been used to Lin Cheng's way of speaking. He raised the cloth bag on his hand and said with a smile, "I know. You have walked more bridges than I have.
You used to be able to carry swords and swords at will, Grandpa. All the villagers in the village know your reputation. "
Lin Cheng's face darkened. He has been teasing himself ever since he said about his experiences when he was young.
If Lin Feng's kung fu had not been better now, his body would have been much worse than before. He would have been hanged every minute.
"By the way, Grandpa, how many people have cars in our town? Uncle Zhu said that we can't afford such a car in the whole village." Thinking of the cars before, Lin Feng asked curiously.
Hearing this, Lin Cheng turned to look at Lin Feng and said with disdain: "How can the only people in our town buy cars? Even if they have money, they may not be able to buy cars.
You should know that cars are rare and can't be bought without channels. Besides, if you want to run a car, it will also consume gasoline. It can't be sold anywhere.
I think that the car is from the county, so you can't expect to buy it. "
When Lin Feng heard the words, he saw that he had never been to the county seat, but he heard that the county seat was much more prosperous than Xiaoshi Town.
Unfortunately, the county seat is a little far away from the village, and people in the village will not go to the county seat easily. After all, there are things that need to be used in the town, so why go all the way to the county seat.
These days are so chaotic. If a soldier accidentally catches a able-bodied man, or encounters bandits or bandits, he will have no regrets.
Therefore, few people in Xiaoshi Village go to the county seat, not necessarily once a year.
After all, going to the county town means that you can't get back before dark. But if you stay in the city for one night, you can't afford it.
And sleeping on the street is not a problem, but why? We can't go all the way to the county seat, and finally sleep on the street.
I came to the town for a fair for a long time, so Lin Cheng was not stingy, so he bought a lot of useful things for Lin Feng.
New clothes, new firewood knives, some snacks
It doesn't seem to be a valuable item, but for Lin Cheng, who is now old and frail, this is the best he can give to Lin Feng.
Although Lin Cheng had some savings when he was young, his body began to decline in recent years.
In addition, the insidious injuries left when fighting with others in the past began to attack, and treatment is also an expense.
So Lin Cheng's savings when he was young had already been consumed by treatment.
What's more, Lin Cheng is not alone. It takes a lot of money to raise Lin Feng.
In this way, Lin Cheng and Lin Feng went to the market for a long time until they had all the daily needs of their family.
