Chapter 196 Stability!

In this deep mountain and old forest, there is no way to cultivate and plant. Eating and drinking are all obtained by hunting once a month. If there is an extra mouth at home, it will be a big burden.

The lively scene was a little deserted. The old man who spoke before said again, "Our mountain village is not unfriendly and impersonal, but you all know that the food obtained by our village is not enough for every time we hunt. There will be more of this child in vain. Who will be responsible for raising him in the future? So the three of us discussed it and decided to take him next time we go to the town to see if we can send him to a store as a helper, which is also a way to give him a way to live.

"Yes, yes, the third uncle is right. This is just right."

"I think that's it. Take him with you next time you go to town."

"We are also full of benevolence and righteousness, otherwise in the deep mountains and forests, maybe he would have been eaten by the beast long ago."

A group of villagers nodded repeatedly, obviously agreeing with this proposal.

"This... I'm afraid it's not good. We all know what the masters who open the shop in the town are. If this child is sent to them, I'm afraid it will be ruined in his life. Li Daxu frowned and said.

"What are you going to do? One more child will have one more mouth. We almost don't have enough to eat. What can we do to support him? The old man spoke in a cold tone. Obviously, he was very dissatisfied with Li Daxu's decision to question them. "I know you have made great contributions to this hunt, but you can't be so stubborn, or are you going to adopt him?"

"I... Well, I raise it as much as I raise. It's just a child. How much can he eat? Li Daqi said unconvincedly.

"Huh! OK, since you want to raise him, it's up to you!" The three old men brushed their sleeves and left.

"Brother Li, why are you so impulsive? It's not a big burden to have one more mouth."

"The three uncles are highly valued, and they are also for our good. Why are you angry with them?"

"Well, the burden on you will be heavier in the future."

A group of people came over and said a few words, and the crowd slowly dispersed.

"Don't be afraid of the big axe, I think it's good! That boy is beautiful, and there is only one girl in your family. He will just stay for you two as a son-in-law in the future, hey hey!" Heisei came over with the woman and child, restrained the former's shoulder, and said with a smile, "I'll go to your house for a drink at noon. I'll pick wild fruit wine and take a sip of flower snake soup by the way."

Li Daqi smiled honestly, "Ok, let's go!"

The corners of his mouth grinned alone, but he was slightly moved, and then turned around and walked to Li Daxu's house.

I had a good lunch. I ate a wild boar leg, some deer meat, and drank three bowls of flower snake soup.

After the former left, Hei San was a little shocked and said, "Good boy, this boy's body is not big. He can really eat it. You have to work harder to raise him in the future."

He walked out of the room, sat down cross-legged on the mill on the edge of the vegetable field in the backyard, and began to hit the seal in his body again.

The seal of Zuo Mo's old thief is full of cracks at this moment. If it is broken earlier, the safety is a little more guaranteed.

This sitting lasted for several hours. It was not until the beginning of the night that I slowly got up and walked into the room alone.

"It's a small step. Come and eat." Li Daxu's wife is a woman in her early thirties. She looks ordinary, but she always has a warm smile on her face.

"Hmm." He nodded alone. Every time he hit the seal, it would cause a great consumption to his body. At this moment, there was no way to absorb the power, and he could only supplement his physical strength by eating more.

"I'm full. Let's go back to my room to rest first." He put down the bowls and chopsticks and walked back to the room.

"Dad, it's so delicious to eat alone." Li Caier stuck out her tongue and whispered.

"Don't talk too much. Go back to your room and sleep when you're full."

Li Caier curled her lips and obediently put down the bowls and chopsticks and went back to the room.

"Big axe, what can this child do if he can eat so much? I'm afraid that what our family got from this hunt is only enough for this month's rations. Li's wife's face was a little embarrassed and whispered.

"Well, I can't watch him sent to the town and be abused by those black-hearted shopkeepers. If it really doesn't work, I'll follow him into the mountain next time I hunt. Don't worry about it." Li Daxu sighed.

Li's wife nodded silently, but there was a trace of sadness in her eyes.

A month later, today is the date for Dashan Village to go hunting again.

"Big axe, your family divided so many things last time, why did you still go into the mountain this time?"

"That's right, a hundred catties of wild boar meat, fifty catties of loquat meat, and the wild goose flower snake, which is enough for your family to save more than two months."

"Hey hey, you don't know yet. The child adopted by the big axe last time is a big eater. One person can eat more than us adult men. Tut, this is really a big burden!"

A group of men preparing to travel talked and laughed in a low voice, and the eyes of Li Daxu were also very pitiful.

"Big axe, what about the boy you adopted? You didn't tell him that today is our hunting day, and you didn't come to see him off." Hei San muttered with some dissatisfaction.

Li Daqi smiled honestly and said, "I told him at dinner last night. Maybe I forgot it. It's not a big deal."

"I think you have to teach him a good lesson, so as not to raise a white-eyed wolf in the future."

When the auspicious time came, the men in the mountain village waved to their women and children and entered the mountain along the path.

——————————————————————————————————————

"Mom, my father and third uncle should be able to come back today. I don't know if my father can hunt a monster this time. You don't know that since my father hunted a wind wolf last time, Huzi and they dare not bully me now." Li Caier helped Li's wife grow some wild vegetables in the back of the yard, with indescribable pride in her voice.

"Don't talk nonsense. It's better not to touch this monster. Safety is the most important thing." Li's wife's face was a little uneasy. For some reason, she felt a little frightened all day today.

Li Caier stuck out her tongue and looked at the sadness on her mother's face. She didn't dare to answer, but her eyes swept over the figure on the mill plate not far away, and her little face was suddenly full of indignation. "This guy is so disgusting. He eats so much every day and doesn't help with any work. He sits there all day!"

"Cai'er!" Li's wife pulled her and was about to speak, but suddenly there was a burst of cheers outside.

"I'm back! The hunting team is back!"

Li's wife's face suddenly showed a little joy, and she pulled Li Caier and ran out, "Let's go, your father and others are back."

Behind the two, the grinder's eyes suddenly opened on the grinding disc, and a fine light flashed in it, "The smell of blood..." He frowned and suddenly got up and walked to the entrance of the village.

"Ah, big axe, big axe, what's wrong with you?"

Li's wife and Li Caier lay on a simple stretcher and cried bitterly.

On the stretcher, Li Daqi's face was pale and fell into a coma. The thin quilt covering his body was full of brown blood stains. His left leg and calf were empty, which was obviously abandoned.

"Sister-in-law, I'm sorry for you. Brother Axe bit off his left leg by the Black Pig to save me!" Hei San knelt down on the ground. This dark-faced man couldn't help crying at this moment.

The black mountain pig is the king of wild boars. Strictly speaking, it can almost enter the scope of second-order monsters.

The villagers in Dashan Village are also sad in their eyes at this moment, and there is quite a feeling of sadness. The next time they lie here, it may be them...

"It's okay. It's just that one leg is ruined. It's a blessing to survive. Don't cry anymore." Li Daxe leaned against the wall, and his face became extremely pale because of excessive blood loss, but he pretended to say in a relaxed tone.

Li's wife wiped her tears and wanted to laugh, but tears flowed down again. In this village in the deep mountains and old forests, the man in the family is the sky of the pillar. Li Daxu is useless, and the future situation of their family can be imagined.

Li Daqi's face was also dim, and the whole family was suddenly shrouded in a sad fog.

When distributing the prey the next day, the village specially allocated more food to the Li family, and Li's wife took it home with tears.

For the first ten days, Li Daxu had been staying in **. The pain of broken legs made him quite depressed, and his expression was not as cheerful as before. His body quickly became thinner, and Li's wife Li Caier also burst into tears all day long.

It was not until the fifteenth day that Li Daxu left the door for the first time with a crutch.

"I went to the east of the village to learn how to make iron with Uncle Chen. Uncle Chen is old, and I happen to be in his class. Although I can't go up the mountain to hunt, people still have to eat."

Seeing that Li Daxu cheered up, Li's wife was naturally very happy and cooked a good meal at noon.

He ate at least two adult men as usual. After saying sorry, he got up and went to the backyard to continue to break the seal. Li Daqi opened his mouth behind his back, but finally he still didn't say anything.

Night!

"Big axe, this child does nothing in our house. He sits on the grinder in the backyard in a daze every day. What can he do? In the past, we could barely survive with you in our family, but now you are like this. If we continue, we can't afford to support him.

"What do you want to do? Since I have him next, I will definitely raise him. I can't send him to the town again."

"I mean, do you think you can let him follow you to learn to hit iron? You are inconvenient, and he can help you do something."

"Ok, I'll talk to him tomorrow."

The voice gradually lowered. Obviously, Mr. and Mrs. Li Daxu had fallen asleep.

He closed his eyes alone, did not sleep, and began to hit the seal in his body again. The original crack seal, under his continuous impact during this period, a small crack also slowly appeared.

The next day after breakfast, he didn't use Li Daxu to open his mouth. He took the initiative to open his mouth and went to the iron shop with help.

Li Daxu nodded with relief.

In the room alone, a thin figure sat cross-legged on the grass**, with a pale face and a faint look of pain.

"Uh-huh!"

The figure suddenly snorted, and there was a drop of blood flowing from the corners of his mouth, but a surprise flashed in his open eyes!
