"Old man, are there people coming to the family? Why did I hear the footsteps of someone coming?" A weak voice came from the inner room.

"Old woman, a young man has come. Thanks to this young man who sent me home today." The old man walked into the inner room, helped his wife out, and pointed at Qingfeng and said.

"Old man, why are you limping?" the old lady asked when she saw the old man's feet.

"It's all my fault that I accidentally sprained my foot while walking. Thanks to this young man, I took me home after seeing that I was injured." The old man explained to his wife.

"Then you have to thank me for this long journey." The old lady said to her husband.

"The young man must be exhausted. The journey is not short. Let's stay and have dinner with us later. I have nothing to entertain you, so I'll just have some food." The old lady turned her head and thanked Qingfeng.

"It's okay, I'm not tired. You two need to take good care of yourself." Qingfeng smiled and waved his hand and said.

"I'll go to make medicine for you now. Wait for a while, the medicine will be ready soon." Qingfeng put the basket in his hand on the table, then picked up a pack of medicinal materials, found a casserole for making medicine, and ran to the stove to light the fire to boil the medicine.

The two old men watched Qingfeng busy and looked at each other, feeling a little warm in their hearts, "How great would it be if my son could be so good!" The two old men thought at the same time.

After a while, Qingfeng put the medicine bowl on the table and said, "Old grandma, this medicine is hot, you can drink it when it cools down."

"Well, okay, young man, thank you." The old lady looked at Qingfeng with a loving look on her face, "Come on, come and eat naan. There is nothing good at home, so she can only eat the leftover porridge and the naan I bought today."

"Yes, young man, you have helped us do so many things. You have to eat more later." The old man picked up the largest naan and put it in front of Qingfeng and said.

"This, then I'm not polite. I haven't had a meal for a day." Qingfeng picked up the naan, took a small bite, then put it in his arms, and stopped moving.

"Young man, what's wrong with you? Why don't you eat?" the old man asked strangely as he looked at Qingfeng's strange behavior.

"My sister hasn't eaten yet, I want to take this naan back for my sister to eat." Qingfeng replied seriously.

"Sister? Do you have a sister? Young man, it's not that I, the old man, I was talking too much, and I deliberately asked for something, what about your family? How could you be so far?" The old man couldn't help but feel nervous when he heard that Qingfeng was going to leave the naan for his sister to eat.

"My family, they are all dead, and only the people in the village are me and my sister." Qingfeng's eyes turned red, "They were all killed! The village was burned clean."

"Oh, this has been attacked by the bandits! Sooner or later, God will take over these crazy beasts." The old man was indignant when he heard Qingfeng's tragic experience.

"No! That's not a bandit, it's an officer and a soldier! It's an officer and a soldier who killed the whole village!" Qingfeng suddenly became very excited and shouted loudly.

"Why, young man, tell me carefully about the situation at that time." The old man was shocked by what Qingfeng said and asked quickly.

"These people were riding tall horses, with hundreds of people, all carrying steel knives and armor. At first they just came to the village to eat and drink, but later for some reason, the leader ordered people to kill, and everyone was dead. If my mother hadn't hid me in the cellar, I wouldn't have lived today." Qingfeng became sadder as he spoke, and in the end he ignored everything and just cried loudly.

"Oh, child, stop crying. Your crying makes us feel heartbroken." The old lady next to her hugged Qingfeng and comforted her continuously.

"Child, you have to remember that killing the people in your village, those people are not officers and soldiers! Remember me well, don't tell people about this in the future, live well." The old man touched Qingfeng's head, sighed heavily, and said earnestly.

"Why! Those people are obviously officers and soldiers! I can see clearly and I will never misread it. Even if they turn into ashes, I can recognize them." Qingfeng shouted at the old man with red eyes.

"Child, remember carefully and never think about taking revenge. Even if those people are officers and soldiers, what can you do? Since ancient times, the people have not fought with officials. So many people in the village have been killed. What can you do with a child? It is the reason to live well with your sister. Don't let the only blood in the village be cut off." The old man did not blame Qingfeng for being angry with him, but continued slowly, "It is stronger than others, so people have to choose to bow their heads. Old man, although I have never done any great things, I only know that life is meaningful, right? If a person dies, it turns into a handful of loess, and then nothing will be gone. You and your sister are still young and still have a long way to go. Don't give up your life for the impossible revenge, and you will lose your life in vain and lose your sister's life. It is true to live well!"

Qingfeng lowered his head and bit his lips tightly for a long time, "I understand. I won't think about taking revenge. I want to take good care of my sister and live well."

"Good boy, I know you are uncomfortable, but people have to accept their fate and lower their heads to live." The old man touched Qingfeng's head and said.

"Take a few more of these naans back for your sister to eat, don't be hungry." The old man picked up a few naans from the basket and stuffed them into Qingfeng's arms, and said with a smile.

Qingfeng looked up at the old man, but there was no reaction. He numbly asked the old man to stuff the naan into his arms.

"I will listen to you and take good care of my sister. I am still young now, but I will grow up, and those people will grow old and sick. One day I will carry their heads back to Shi Village to pay homage to the old and young people in the village!" Qingfeng thought secretly in his heart.

"Grandpa, grandma, thank you. I know what to do, and I won't be impulsive. From now on, I will come here every three days to get medicine for you, and you can rest well at home." Qingfeng said gratefully to the two old men.
