My grandfather was the head of the family, and no one dared to disobey his words, but Wei Xu was still sneering, and asked Wei Yan's futon to be moved to the firewood room immediately.

Wei Yan looked at all this coldly, and he didn't say anything more.

It was late at night, the firewood room was ventilated on all sides, and Wei Yan curled up in the corner, listening to the whistling wind.

The door creaked open, and Wei Mu walked in with a brazier.

"Mother, why don't you sleep yet?" Wei Yan said.

Mother Wei seemed to have cried, and her eyes were red.

She forced a smile, put the brazier next to Wei Yan and said, "Yan'er, it's frozen, it's not cold with this brazier." ”

"Mother, I'm not cold." Wei Yan shook his head.

"It's useless to be a mother, I can't let you live a good life." As she spoke, Wei Mu lowered her head, turned around, turned her back to Wei Yan, and wiped her face with the back of her hand.

"Mother, don't cry, I've grown up, what's this hardship." Wei Yan comforted.

"Mother didn't cry," Mother Wei tried to suppress her sadness, stretched out a hand to stroke Wei Yan's head, a smile appeared on her face, and said softly: "Mother is letting the smoke smoke in her eyes." ”

Wei Yan felt a little guilty and didn't know how to comfort his mother.

After a while, he remembered the copper money he had earned today, and took out the money bag from under his pillow.

Wei Yan put the money bag in his mother's hand and said with a smile: "Mother, what do you think this is?" ”

Wei Mu opened the money bag curiously, and was very surprised to see that it was full of copper coins, and then her face turned pale, and her lips trembled slightly.

"Yan'er, where did you get so much money?" Wei Mu asked.

Wei Yan knew that his mother had misunderstood, and hurriedly explained: "Mother, don't worry, this money is all from the right way, and I earned it myself." ”

"You earned it yourself? Yan'er, how did my mother teach you, we can be poor, but we must be ambitious, we can't do things that ruin the reputation of our ancestors, what kind of face do you have to let me see your father! Mother Wei's tears flowed down.

Wei Yan panicked, he wanted to make his mother happy, but he didn't expect to provoke his mother to tears.

"Mother, this is really my own earnings, Shunzi and I hunted a wild boar on Lone Wolf Mountain today and pulled it to the city to sell it," Wei Yan felt that this was not enough to make his mother believe it, so he continued: "Do you think, why did Zhang Butcher sue me today, this matter has been so long?" ”

When Wei Mu heard this, she was really curious, looked at Wei Yan, and waited for him to continue.

Wei Yan continued: "This is because he wanted to buy our wild boar at a low price, and Shunzi and I were not fooled at all and did not sell it to him, so he held a grudge and sued me for my black state at my uncle. ”

"What you said is true?" Wei's mother actually believed it, after all, it was her own son, and she believed that her son was not a bad person.

But she still asked again, this sentence was not only for Wei Yan, but also for herself.

"Of course it's true, you don't believe that you can ask Junko tomorrow, and you also know that Junko never lies." Wei Yan hurriedly said.

Wei's mother burst into tears and smiled, touched the bag of copper coins, and said happily: "My Yan'er has grown up and can earn money." ”

"Mother, I will earn more money in the future, and then we can leave the Wei family and let my mother live a good life." When Wei Yan said these words, he seemed to have seen the happiness at his fingertips.

"You child, my mother doesn't want you to earn a lot of money, as long as you live well, your mother will be content."

"Don't hold a grudge against your grandfather and uncle, although they are strict, they also gave us two a bite to eat, we have to understand Entu, you know?"

"Yes." Wei Yan nodded.

"Okay, you go to sleep, this money lady will save it for you, and I will ask you for a daughter-in-law in two years." When Wei Mu said this, a satisfied smile appeared on her face.

"Mother...... I'm young. Wei Yan pouted.

"You're fourteen, and you'll be crowned in two years......" Wei Mu seemed to remember something and fell into deep thought.

"Mother, you mentioned my father just now, my father ......" Wei Yan wanted to try to ask about his father's situation.

In the past, every time he asked his father, his mother always cried secretly, so later Wei Yan became sensible and didn't dare to ask anymore.

However, when it comes to crowning at this moment, Wei Yan knows that this is a coming-of-age ceremony, which is a relatively important thing in this era.

The mother fell into deep thought, probably thinking of the father, after all, when the child was crowned, he didn't want the father to complete it?

The reason why Wei Yan wanted to inquire was not that he lacked fatherly love and wanted to find a father.

It's because life experience in this era is very important, and if you have a good background, it will also be good for your future development.

Even if you don't have a prominent background, at least you have to have an innocent family background, which is better than not being clear.

"Let's sleep~" Wei Mu woke up suddenly and walked out quickly.

"Alas~" Wei Yan sighed, "Who is my father?" ”

……

Snow is falling one by one, the northern land, is already a piece of silver, as far as the eye can see, the mountains are connected to the ground, the earth is connected to the sky, but than in the past, the field of vision is more broad.

Hunting at this time is also more difficult than in other seasons.

Without the shelter of grass and trees, small animals have no sense of security, even if they are scavenging in the snow, they must look up from time to time.

There was already no shelter in all directions, which made it even more difficult for hunters to get close to them.

Unless it is a good hunter with good archery skills and patience, he can make a gain in such conditions.

Another gust of wind blew, and a layer of white snowflakes blew on the ground, coiled in a whirlpool in the air, and fell back to the ground.

Wherever the wind passed, all traces were gone.

In such bad weather, even pheasants and hares hid in their burrows and could not come out.

"Wei Yan, is this possible? We've been lying on our stomachs all morning, and my legs are almost freezing. ”

Suddenly, a voice came from the silent earth.

"I guess it's about the same, I've been throwing wild chestnuts here for days since the last time I found a fox in the vicinity."

"The fox is too cunning, the wild chestnuts did not decrease at the beginning, but they have not been in the past few days, no matter how cunning the fox is, it can't fight the old hunter, you just wait to see the show."

A slightly raised snowdrift shook a few times, shaking off the snowflakes that had just been scraped on it, and a faint gap appeared.

Such snowdrifts are like sand dunes in the desert, they are everywhere, and if you don't distinguish them carefully, you can't tell them at all.

"Are you hungry or not, you've been waiting for a long time......"

"Shh~ Don't talk, there's movement."

The earth is silent again.

In the sunlight, a bright light flashed, making people think that they were dazzled.

When I got closer, I realized that it was a white fox.

This white fox has no impurities, it seems to be integrated with the whole snowfield, if it were not for its shiny fur, under the sunlight, reflecting bright light, you would even think that it is a snowflake floating.
