After a while, the three of them arrived at the neighborhood where they lived. It was a row of old-fashioned two-story buildings made of red bricks. It used to be the staff dormitory of the city's textile mill. Uncle Liu and his wife were originally workers of the textile mill, but due to the reform of state-owned enterprises more than ten years ago, the textile mill closed down due to poor management. Uncle Liu and his wife had been living here ever since.
Qin Feng's family rented this house and settled down here. This way, they became neighbors with Uncle Liu's family.
Uncle Liu and Qin Feng's family lived on the second floor and were neighbors.
Qin Feng arrived at the door of his house and saw that the lights in the house were still on. He knew that his mother was still waiting for him to come back, so he knocked on the door. After a while, the door opened and a woman in her forties stood behind the door. This was Qin Feng's mother, Xue Mei.
"Mom, I'm back." Qin Feng said with a hint of warmth in his eyes after seeing the woman.
"Why did you come back so late today? I was just about to go out and look for you.”Xue Mei rebuked, but her eyes were filled with concern for Qin Feng.
"Oh, another group of customers came when the stall was about to close, so I was busy for a while.”Qin Feng explained. Actually, Qin Feng wasn't lying. It was just that this customer was an old man and didn't charge him. Thinking of this, Qin Feng looked at the ring that the old man gave him and thought that if this was really an antique, it must be worth a lot of money. He would bring it to the flower and bird market tomorrow to see if this guy was real or not.
Qin Feng walked into the house and saw a middle-aged man in the living room. The man was sitting in a wheelchair at the moment. It was obvious that his legs were inconvenient. The middle-aged man was full of energy and was in high spirits. He did not seem to be dejected because of the problem with his legs. Seeing Qin Feng return, his eyes revealed a trace of a smile."Son, you're back. Are you tired?"
"Dad, I'm not tired. You should rest quickly. It's getting late.”Qin Feng looked at his father's concerned eyes and replied.
"Sigh! If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have to work so hard now, especially you. There's still more than a month before the exam, and you don't even have time to rest at this time. Sigh! I'm sorry!" When Qin Dashan saw that his son did not show any signs of fatigue in front of him, he blamed himself even more. When he thought of his current situation, he felt a little depressed.
"Dad, why are you saying this? We're family. I've never thought that I'm tired.”Qin Feng hurriedly consoled his father when he saw that his father was blaming himself again.
"That's right, Big Mountain. As long as our family is together and safe, that's better than anything else.”Xue Mei saw her husband blaming himself again, so she comforted him.
Qin Feng and Xue Mei both knew that Qin Dashan could have escaped from that accident, but he ended up like this in order to protect the mother and son. Seeing Qin Dashan in this state, the mother and son both felt their hearts ache.
"In the end, this is all my fault. If I hadn't trusted others so blindly back then, your lives wouldn't be like this now. I wouldn't be sitting in this wheelchair waiting to die.”Qin Dashan recalled the past and said emotionally.
"Forget it. Let bygones be bygones. Why mention him?”A trace of sadness and self-mockery flashed in Qin Feng's eyes. Seeing that his father wanted to bring up that past, he stopped him.
"Let's not talk about this anymore. Go to sleep. Little Feng still has to go to school tomorrow.”Xue Mei saw that her husband and son were not in a good mood, so she urged her son to go to sleep. At the same time, he came behind Qin Dashan and pushed the wheelchair towards his room.
Qin Feng's house was only about 50 square meters. There were two bedrooms, a living room, and a kitchen. Therefore, both the living room and the bedroom were very small. Qin Feng's bedroom was decorated very simply. A bed and a table occupied most of the room. There was nothing else.
Qin Feng lay on the bed and carefully thought about what had happened today. Every time he thought about how the old man had kicked a stone the size of a human head into pieces, he felt like he was dreaming. Therefore, he pinched his thigh forcefully and immediately felt a heart-piercing pain. Only then did he confirm that what happened today was real.
"That old man is that powerful? And you even took me as your disciple?" Qin Feng muttered to himself. "Haha, doesn't that mean that I will also become an expert?”Qin Feng immediately jumped up from the bed excitedly and laughed. In the end, she subconsciously shouted a little louder.
"Brat, it's already so late, why are you still shouting? Lower your voice. Don't disturb the rest of the Liu family next door.”Xue Mei's voice came from the next room.
Only now did Qin Feng realize that he had lost his composure. Hence, he hurriedly said,"I know, Mom. My throat is uncomfortable. I'll be fine after shouting a few times.”
"Are you alright? Do you want to take some medicine?" Xue Mei's concerned voice came from next door.
"It's fine. I'm fine now. Go to sleep.”Seeing his mother's concern, Qin Feng's heart also felt warm.
Qin Feng laid back on the bed and thought of the antique ring that the old man had given him before he left. He took the ring off his left ring finger and looked at it carefully. He saw that the ring was simple and unadorned. It was about half an inch wide. It was not as wide as a ring, but it was obviously wider than an ordinary ring. Therefore, he knew that he was lacking but he was not sure what it was.
The inner side of the ring is smooth and the surface is suffused with a bronze luster. The ring is engraved with complicated patterns. Initially, Qin Feng thought that it was some kind of text, but it is not a text that he has seen before. Therefore, Qin Feng guessed that it was probably some totem pattern. On closer inspection, it looks like a mountain or river. However, because the surface of the ring is too small, the pattern is also relatively small. In addition, the lighting at night is not good, so Qin Feng did not see it too clearly. However, he had a rough idea. Based on the delicate pattern on the ring, he could guess that the ring was expensive. "I can probably sell it for a lot of money, right?" Qin Feng thought happily in his heart.
Looking at the clock, it was already past midnight. Therefore, Qin Feng took off his coat and trousers and prepared to sleep. Just as he was about to turn off the lights, he saw the ring that he had just taken off from his hand on the table. He put it on his hand again and thought to himself, It's better to keep this thing on him for safety.
Qin Feng turned off the lights and touched the ring on his hand. Thinking that he could buy it for a good price tomorrow, he felt very happy and unknowingly fell asleep.
