Chapter 3 My Happiness(1/2)
I don't know how long it took...
"Dong!Dong!Dong!" The crisp knock on the door sounded rhythmically, and Lin Feng woke up immediately and his face changed.
"What happened to me just now?"
"How could it be like that..."
Lin Feng was shocked in his heart, but at this moment, a clear sound came from his ears.
"Brother, I'm in." The door opened and slowly walked into a thin boy half a head shorter than him. His face was the same as Lin Shui'er, with a weak whiteness, his eyes closed, and he walked very slowly. He leaned forward with his right hand as if he was afraid of touching something.
"I'm back, Ayun, where's mom?" Walking forward, Lin Feng helped his younger brother Lin Yun and asked him to sit down.
Looking at the face that looked a bit like him, Lin Feng couldn't help but sigh in his heart. His younger brother was fine, but his eyes were blind.
It was like he was joking with him...
"I'm busy cooking with my sister. It's rare that you're having dinner at home today," Lin Yun said with a smile.
Lin Feng couldn't help but feel guilty when he heard this. He didn't expect that he had been delayed for so long. He would eat in the clan martial arts hall on weekdays. As long as he reached the intermediate level of martial arts apprentice, he could enjoy this benefit. Although he only had simple dry food, he could fill his stomach.
Eat less every day, and your parents, brothers and sisters can eat more and better!
When he sighed in his heart, Lin Feng couldn't help but shake his head.
Although the movement was slight, Lin Yun felt quite keen, "What's wrong, brother?"
"It's nothing, by the way, there's something else to do in the martial arts hall..." Lin Feng stood up.
"Brother." Lin Yun interrupted Lin Feng's words and said softly: "Stay here to eat, your parents miss you very much."
Although Lin Yun's eyes were blind, his heart was not blind. He was both admiring and respecting his elder brother, but also heartache and powerless.
After hesitating for a moment, Lin Fengqing said "um" and sat back again. Looking at Lin Yun's smile, Lin Feng felt regretful. His younger brother was very smart, really smart, but unfortunately, God took away the window of his soul.
If one day my brother could see the light again, it would be great...
"Brother, it seems that we two brothers haven't sat together and chatted like this for a long time." Lin Yun smiled.
"Yes..." Lin Feng sighed lightly. Indeed, he spent too little time with his family. He had to work early in the morning and teach those rich children in the tribe at night. Except for sleeping, he kept exercising and working tirelessly to become a warrior.
It's been a long time indeed.
But why don’t I want to spend more time with my family?
"Thank you for your hard work, brother." Lin Yun's voice was very soft, but it went straight into Lin Feng's heart, making him smile: "What's the hard work?"
"By the way, brother, the coming-of-age ceremony is about to be held. Have you thought about it?"
Listening to Lin Yun's words, Lin Feng's expression changed slightly and he suddenly became silent, not knowing what to say.
"Brother, don't you want to marry?" The light voice fell to his ears, which made Lin Feng suddenly startle, his face changed slightly, and his body looked a little unnatural.
"Who heard?" Lin Feng's smile was a little reluctant.
Lin Yun shook his head, his expression seemed to tell Lin Feng...
Don't lie to him.
"Brother, I'm still so smart." Lin Feng couldn't help but sigh.
Ripples in his heart were unstoppable, and Lin Feng was inexplicably thinking. In Linjia Village, coming-of-age ceremony occupies a very important position. All young people choose their future wives on this day. If they give up on their own initiative, they will never have another chance if they miss this time.
what does that mean?
If he cannot become a warrior, he will be alone from now on.
The price is very heavy.
Is it worth it?
"Worth it." Lin Feng murmured silently.
He had an answer in his heart, but...
I just don't want to say it out.
"The preparation for martial artist assessment only once a year. If you miss this time, you will have to wait until next year." Lin Feng's smile looked a little unnatural.
"And next year, Shui'er will get married." Lin Yun said calmly.
Lin Feng looked at Lin Yun and didn't say anything. Indeed, he had guessed that his thoughts could not be hidden from this extremely smart brother.
"So, brother, are you sacrificing your happiness?" Lin Yun's voice fell quietly, and two lines of clear tears were shed in his closed eyes. At this time, the wooden door was pushed open with a "kick". The mother and Lin Shui'er behind the door had already cried into tears, especially Lin Shui'er, who cried so hard that she rushed towards Lin Feng, hugging her tightly and refused to let go. It seemed to be the most precious thing in her life.
"Brother, Shui'er is not afraid, Shui'er doesn't want you to..." She burst into tears, Lin Shui'er kept sobbing and communicating, unable to even speak clearly.
"Feng'er..." Mother Lin Wanqing choked.
The atmosphere in the house suddenly became extremely sad, as if a cloud of sorrow was covering the poor family. The hard life did not deteriorate the relationship, but instead made people's hearts more united and solidified, and even sacrificed for each other.
Looking at his family, Lin Feng's heart was turbulent and he couldn't calm down.
He didn't want his family to worry about him.
"Don't worry, mom." Lin Feng patted his sister's twitching back, a gleam flashed in his eyes, and he said softly: "Actually, I have reached the standard of preparing for warriors now."
"Really?" Lin Wanqing said in surprise.
Lin Feng smiled, "Of course it's true. How could I make a joke about my happiness? I just haven't had time to tell you."
After saying that, he touched Shui'er's little head and gently wiped away her tears, "Look at you, you're crying like a little cat."
"Brother laughed at me!" Lin Shui'er pouted and said angrily.
"That's good, that's good." Lin Wanqing burst into tears and nodded repeatedly, saying, "Let's go, Feng'er, Yun'er, let's go out for dinner and tell your father this good news."
"Um."
When Lin Feng pulled his younger brother Lin Yun up, he saw that his hands were still cold and his face was not happy or joyful. He knew that he could not deceive the smart brother. He gently hugged the thin shoulder with his right hand and patted him: "Let's go, don't worry parents."
"elder brother."
"It's okay." Lin Feng smiled slightly. Although he had lie, it was a lie of kindness.
Leave warmth and happiness to your family, and leave responsibility and pressure to yourself. This is a real man.
"My happiness is all you are happy." Looking at the three backs, Lin Feng had a light smile on his face.
This is the home he will protect for the rest of his life!
※※※
With Lin Feng's "good news", this was a very happy meal.
For a long time, the family has not gathered like this, sat down and joked, talked, and had a happy mood, and the atmosphere is quite comfortable and warm.
"Brother, Brother Xiaomai is here tonight, stop beating others." Lin Shui'er said worriedly.
"Yes, Xiaomai is my friend and is a pretty good person." Lin Yun explained.
Lin Feng couldn't help but blush and said embarrassedly: "Isn't that misunderstanding? I apologized."
That incident really embarrassed him.
Lin Wanqing also chuckled and said, "You kid, you can't tell that you are so impulsive."
"Mom, don't laugh at me..." Lin Feng felt bitter. For this matter, he was laughed for several months.
Seeing Lin Feng being defeated, everyone couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"Eat dinner quickly, you guys." Lin Feng said angrily. Looking at his happy family, Lin Feng felt extremely satisfied, and made him feel that everything he did was worth it.
He didn't regret it when he was doing that, even if things happened again, he would still do it.
Because for him, home is everything to him, a forbidden area that others cannot stand in.
I would rather kill a thousand by mistake than let one go!
...
After dinner, at the hour of You, Lin Feng left home and headed towards the top of the mountain.
This time is the time when he earns the most money and gains - to teach the children of wealthy families in the clan.
It was completely dark at this time. The mountains were in a quiet place and it was difficult to see the road. However, Lin Feng was walking vigorously, steadily interspersed among the woods, avoiding some shrubs and phosphites from time to time. This was too easy for him.
A rock blocked the front, Lin Feng just jumped gently and soared for two meters in the air. He pressed his left hand on the stone depression and rushed away.
The road is so familiar that he has to walk on several times every day.
"One hour can earn an iron coin."
"You can earn two iron coins in two hours."
"And during the teaching process, I can exercise myself for more than half of the time, killing two birds with one stone."
In the dark night, Lin Feng traveled like a wind, like a raccoon cat. It took ordinary people half an hour from the mountainside to the top, and even an intermediate warrior apprentice like Lin Jie would take about a quarter of an hour, but Lin Feng only needed an incense stick. And running with all his might is also a kind of exercise for him.
"Working in the field for an hour in the morning, earning half a piece of money, and working for twenty days is enough to be worth an hour in the evening."
"Then it's my physical fitness. If I were my mother, the same job would take at least four or five hours..."
Thinking of this, Lin Feng couldn't help feeling heartbroken. His mother was just an ordinary woman with no power. She had to work hard for more than four or five hours a day, and when she returned home, she had to take care of her disabled father and her young three siblings. She couldn't eat enough or wear warmly. How could she not get tired and sick after years of hardship?
