Zhang Lihu greeted the guests warmly as always, and when he passed by the stove room, he exhorted loudly: "There are guests at home, cook more meals, and then scald the pot of wine!" ”

If you get lost in the ice and snow, your body must have been frozen to the point that there is no heat, and you can warm up your body by drinking a glass of old wine.

"Hey!" Zhang Li responded crisply in the stove room.

In the past, on days when the mountains were covered by heavy snowfall, there would always be lost pedestrians who came to knock on the door from time to time, and for the hunters in the mountains, they had long been accustomed to it.

Han Yan politely said "Thank you".

Zhang Orion grinned, took the lead in pushing open the door, asked Han Yan to go in first, followed by himself and quickly closed the door with his backhand, blocking the raging wind and snow from the door.

"Take the snow off your body first." Zhang Orion took two small brooms from the wall next to the door, handed one to Han Yan, and kept it for himself.

Han Yan thanked him, but instead of reaching out to take it, he carefully opened the thick cloak in front of him, revealing the swaddling clothes inside.

Zhang Orion looked back at the red face of the child in the swaddling clothes, and was stunned.

There was a little baby hidden, who looked like he was about seven or eight months old.

No wonder Fang Cai, a foreigner, has been hunched over his waist and covered his chest and abdomen with his hands!

He thought he was too cold to stand it, but he was protecting the child in his arms!

"How's the kid?" Zhang Orion didn't care about removing the snow for himself, so he hurriedly reached out and took Han Yan's cloak, and turned his head to ask while carefully shaking off the snowflakes on it.

Han Yan thanked Zhang Orion, hurriedly guarded the child tightly in his heart, looked at it carefully, raised his head and smiled: "I have been wrapped in a cloak and there is no cold wind, so it should be fine." ”

The cloak is made of white fox fur and lined with thick padded lining, which not only protects from the wind and snow, but also keeps warm.

Zhang Orion nodded, hung the cloak that had been removed from the snow on the wall, and swept the snow off his body with a broom, and asked Han Yan to carry the child to the fire to keep warm.

The stove is placed in the pit in the outer room, and the red fire reflects the whole pit with a warm red light, which makes people feel warm when they look at it.

There are three felt futons around the pit, and there is a tea bowl, a bow, and a few arrows next to the felt futon due north.

Han Yan saw it in his eyes, stood still in front of the felt futon facing west, and waited for Zhang Orion to sit down on the felt futon due north before he sat down, holding the swaddling clothes horizontally in his arms, and gently patting and soothing with his hands.

Zhang Orion looked at the child who was sleeping sweetly with his eyes closed, and said with concern: "Seeing that the child is sleeping so sweetly, why don't you put it on the bed in the west room?" Save him from freezing, and you can rest your hands and feet. ”

It is not easy to hold your child in the mountains and forests in the wind and snow to find someone to stay in.

Han Yan's arms holding the child tightened, and the gentle smile on his face suddenly froze.

Zhang Orion was accustomed to being enthusiastic and straightforward, so he naturally didn't pay attention to the sudden increase in vigilance in Han Yan's expression, and had already turned his head and shouted towards the inner room: "Big girl, come and hug the child, it just so happens that you are warm in the nest!" ”

Shu Yu, who was eavesdropping with his ears on his ears, was unprepared and was suddenly named, startled, and then responded in a crisp voice: "Hey! Here it is! ”

Although it has only been a year, she has already adapted to the new name "Big Girl" and the mountain life that can welcome lost pedestrians from time to time.

For pedestrians who are lost in the mountains and forests, a house sheltered from the wind and snow, a warm fire, and a bowl of hot tea and wine may save their lives.

As soon as Han Yan wanted to say that there was no need to bother, the felt curtain on the west side had already been lifted, and a girl about fourteen or fifteen years old walked out of the room.

Wearing a plain skirt, two braids, and a pair of cotton boots, he walked over with a smile, like a wisp of wind that occasionally blew in spring, fresh and natural.

Han Yan, who was accustomed to seeing the ladies of the noble family in Kyoto who were greased and powdered, was stunned for a moment, then came back to his senses, hugged the child in his arms tightly, and politely and resolutely refused: "Thank you Meiyi, I don't feel tired here." The child recognized his life, but he was afraid that he would be naughty and disturb the girl's peace. ”

The cotton boots suddenly stopped walking, and were nailed three steps away from the pit, motionless.

Shu Yu, who has lived for two lifetimes, can certainly see the other party's vigilance.

But she didn't think it was anything.

For the stranger in front of him, their family of three is a stranger, although he has to come to the door to ask for help in this snowstorm, but it is always right to be vigilant and protect his children.

What if their family is a villain, they will wait for his big fat sheep to come to the door with the little fat sheep in his arms?

Don't blame her for thinking too much, she really saw a lot of reports of black-hearted traffickers abducting and selling children in her previous life.

Zhang Orion greeted enthusiastically without noticing: "Don't be afraid, not afraid." Anyway, the big girl has nothing to do, just let the child make trouble with her and be her companion! ”

Companionship? How long is it with?

Han Yan's arms tightened, the smile on his face did not change, but his voice tightened: "Thank you Meiyi, it's really not necessary." ”

Zhang Orion wanted to say more, Shu Yu took the first step and said with a smile: "Then spread a felt blanket and cotton mattress next to it, and let the child sleep next to it!" It's just warm when the fire is baking, so don't be afraid that he will catch a cold! ”

The girl's voice was as crisp as a morning warbler in the mountains, and the smile on her face was just like a kapok on a branch, and she was not angry because she was repeatedly rejected and guarded.

Han Yan breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly smiled and agreed: "Okay, good!" In this way, there is Miss Lao. ”

This girl's eyebrows are sparse, and her eyes are as bright as stars, which seem to be childish and innocent, and seem to be able to penetrate people's hearts, so that he is a little uncomfortable when he is wary of lying.

The words that made the little girls' hearts flutter can't say a word now.

Zhang Orion glared at Shu Yu and secretly blamed her for being lazy.

Shu Yu shrugged, she was used to her father's excessive enthusiasm and sluggishness.

Soon, a soft pile of felt was laid next to the pit, and a freshly dried cotton mattress before the snow was laid on it, which was soft and warm, but also breathable and sweat-proof.

Han Yan carefully put the child in his arms on it.

The sleeping child suddenly left the familiar embrace, his little brows furrowed, he arched his little mouth to the side, and soon fell asleep quietly under Han Yan's gentle pat.

The brows are stretched, the corners of the mouth are slightly raised, and they are quiet and peaceful.

Han Yan breathed a long sigh of relief.

Shu Yu looked at the twenty-four filial father in front of him, and silently handed over the small blanket: "He is thickly wrapped, and there is a fire in the house, so it's almost enough to cover a small blanket." lest it accumulate heat and sweat, and it is easy to catch a cold. ”

Han Yan raised his head and thanked him gratefully, took the small blanket, and gently covered the baby.

Shu Yu didn't know if it was his own delusion, and always felt that the foreigner in front of him looked at the infant child with gentle and caring eyes and pious eagerness.

Well, it's like a busy mother in the stove room when she looks at Guanyin.
