Chapter 2296 rushing to the sea
The little girl doesn't look like she is about ten years old, but she is not fourteen years old. In fact, she is only twelve years old. By age, she is indeed in the fifth and sixth grades of elementary school, or even graduates to junior high school.
Late at night, Li Yifei suddenly stopped taking poetry exams. After asking about her age, she asked about the daytime things, which was the matter of her aunt saying she wanted to marry her. The little girl was silent for a while. Li Yifei suddenly became sad when she saw her face. She pinched her clothes with her hands, and tears flashed in her eyes. She held back for a while and then replied in a low voice: "I can't marry. I'm too young, and I don't need others to support me. I can support myself. When I grow up, I can go to work. The money I earn can support myself!"
She repeatedly mentioned making money to support herself, which made Li Yifei think of the difficult days when her parents just left many years ago, not only were the sudden emotional emptiness, but also life...
Before Li Yifei could answer, the little girl said, "Uncle, I'm so sleepy. I'm going to go to the sea tomorrow morning, so I'll go to bed first!"
Li Yifei nodded and watched the little girl sleeping. He realized that she had no quilt covered, and the only quilt in the house was covered with him. Chen Junxiao has been laying a mattress these days, lying on it while lying on it in clothes and then sleeping.
In the darkness but facing the light, Li Yifei felt that he was warmed by Chen Junxiao. Although he was not in a hurry to recover, Li Yifei suddenly wanted to recover as soon as possible, at least he could act on his own and not have to serve Chen Junxiao.
All night, Li Yifei didn't sleep much, and was working hard to communicate with his dantian and convert the nutrients he had eaten into his body's strength. Of course, this part was not something he could control, but it had to rely on the body's self-adjustment mechanism.
In the morning, Li Yifei found that not only had some strength in his hands, but his legs could also move. So after waking up, when he didn't see Chen Junxiao, Li Yifei supported the bed with both hands, moved his body hard, and finally stood on the ground.
He looked down at his trembling legs. Li Yifei shook his head. It would be nice to be able to stand. I guess if he adds it today, he will be able to recover most of the time.
Li Yifei held the wall and moved his legs slowly. Finally, he reached the door. Li Yifei reached out and pushed open the door. His hands were much more flexible than his legs. It was dawn. Li Yifei pushed open the door and saw a very simple stove. There were several wooden boards next to it, with wooden bowls and porcelain bowls, but there were only four in total, and there were two metal basins, with some firewood in it. There were no doors on the kitchen. You could go directly outside. Li Yifei stepped out with difficulty and saw that the house was actually like a small whistle tower, built with stones, with cement on it, but it was not covered with outside, mottled and old. Li Yifei walked out and looked at the sunshine outside. He said that he had not sunbathed for several days. After a few breaths, Li Yifei continued to move forward. He could stand without holding on to something, but he still had the danger of falling down if he wanted to step.
After adapting for a while, Li Yifei narrowed his eyes and observed the surroundings. There was a slope of several dozen meters high in the east, while the west was relatively flat, with some crops blocking it, so he couldn't see too far, but there was a small path passing by.
The sea was south, and Li Yifei had already heard the sound of waves, washing away again and again. The sun was not hot at this time, and Li Yifei did not walk far away, so he wandered around the door. He was still wearing the clothes he had before, but his outer clothes were gone.
More than half an hour later, Li Yifei saw a small figure appearing on the hillside to the east, carrying a small bucket and slowly coming back.
Chen Junxiao's harvest today was good. In addition to the necessary sea water, there were also a few larger fish in the bucket, as well as some crabs, shrimps and the like that that didn't have time to escape after the low tide, and even a squid, but the small squid.
She also saw Li Yifei, with a little surprise in her eyes. Because Li Yifei was standing, it meant that his body was much better. So the little girl stepped out and ran towards him. She stopped when she was about to come in front of her. She was panting and laughing on her face: "Uncle, can you walk while standing?"
"Well, you can walk, it's very slow!"
"It doesn't matter, it will be fine if you keep it for a few more days!" Chen Junxiao put down the bucket and said.
"I got a good harvest today." Li Yifei said.
"Yeah. I'm lucky today. I went there early. I was the first one. There were no one else, so I picked up more people." Chen Junxiao said proudly.
Li Yifei bent down and looked in the bucket. He found that several fish were very lively. He nodded and said, "Well, a lot, it should be able to sell some money."
"No, I won't buy what I have picked up these days. Stay here to eat. Uncle, you are weak. Eat more nutritious things to supplement and get better quickly."
"Uncle will compensate you!" Li Yifei knew what the little girl meant and accepted her kindness.
"It's really not necessary. Uncle, I'm embarrassed to say that," Chen Junxiao said.
Chen Junxiao divided the seafood into two portions, one for noon and evening, and added sweet potatoes and rice porridge. Although the food is still very monotonous, it is already a rare source of supplements for Li Yifei. For Chen Junxiao, the food he ate in the past two days is much better than her usual.
Another night, the next morning, Chen Junxiao quietly got up and was about to go to the sea. Li Yifei also woke up. He moved his body a lot better than the day before. Now he had no problem walking normally, so Li Yifei proposed to go to the sea with the little girl.
"Okay, but uncle, are your health really fine?" Chen Junxiao said worriedly.
Li Yifei patted his chest gently and said, "Of course it's okay, but he's walking slowly. You don't have to wait for me specifically, I'll follow you."
"Okay, let's go together!" Chen Junxiao said with a smile.
One walked in front, his steps were light and humming the tone of dialect slang in his mouth, while the other was following along and slowly walking, several times faster than yesterday.
The sea is not far away. There was no one when the two came. Because they came very early today, the little girl came every day, so they knew where there were more crabs and the like. Li Yifei stepped on the beach barefoot and saw that the little girl had rushed towards a black reef. Li Yifei also accelerated his pace. He caught more and ate more, so he had to hurry up.
Li Yifei noticed that Chen Junxiao would not catch any small crabs when he encountered them, and even threw them back into the sea and nodded secretly. He had never eaten small crabs in the past two days.
After the morning passed, Li Yifei also liked this... Games, for him, it was a game, for Chen Junxiao, it was survival. Li Yifei even drove away. Thinking that if he brought the children at home, got up early and came to the beach to pick things up, it would definitely be a good experience. Of course, for them, it was an experience, for Chen Junxiao... Alas, Li Yifei sighed slightly. The harvest today was not much because she had to take care of Li Yifei, and later someone came over, so she didn't pick up much, which was more than half the harvest yesterday, and there were no fish.
Looking at the vast sea, Chen Junxiao gritted his teeth. Li Yifei recovered faster and faster in the past two days, and needed more and more food, so she thought that she would only make more in the past few days!
When he returned home, Li Yifei sat at the door and watched the crops in the distance rise and fall in the wind, while Chen Junxiao went out with a small basket.
"It's almost time, just return to normal people's condition. As for the true qi, don't hurry up and recover slowly!" Li Yifei has never been in a hurry to practice these days. There are not many opportunities to experience the life of ordinary people, let alone a useless person.
Chen Junxiao took out some money from his small wallet and bought two larger fish. Although it was bigger, it only cost more than one pound, but it cost fifteen yuan, which was enough to match the income of the little girl who drove the sea for several days. She was still very distressed, but she was cruel and paid the money to carry the fish home.
Having a fish separated at noon and evening was naturally another big meal for her, and Li Yifei also seized the time to recover.
In this way, another day later, although Li Yifei has not recovered completely, it is equivalent to seven or eight minutes that of a normal person. So Li Yifei got up in the morning and decided to bring a big gain to the little girl. It rained today and it was fine in the house, but there were two places where the rain leaked. Chen Junxiao saw Li Yifei getting up and was about to go out, and asked hurriedly: "Uncle, why are you doing?"
"My health has recovered. Today you are visiting the house at home. I will go to the beach to see it. Let's divide the work." Li Yifei said.
"Ah? No, it's raining too much today. Uncle, you can't go out!" Chen Junxiao hurriedly stopped.
Li Yifei shook his head and said, "Don't worry, I won't go into the sea. Besides, you can jump or jump now, like a sick person? You have recovered from health. In this way, I will come back in an hour. You can stay at home and don't let the rain wet the quilt!"
Chen Junxiao couldn't persuade Li Yifei, so he had to agree and found a piece of plastic cloth and wanted to put it on Li Yifei, but the latter stuffed it back directly. The house was leaking water everywhere. If the quilt was wet, he wouldn't have to sleep at night. It would be better to cover it on the quilt. He walked into the rain curtain with his shirtlessness.
In the past, when I was in the army, I went in the wind and rain, and in high temperatures of 30 degrees Celsius, and in low temperatures of minus 30 degrees Celsius, I had to experience any kind of environment, and it was common to be watered. People were always more and more pretentious. Li Yifei walked forward quickly, thinking that it was raining today, and there should not be many people rushing to the sea, so I should have gained a lot today, and I was in a very good mood.
