The next day, the frost fleamed, and the snowflakes all over the sky fell from mid-air......

The houses in front of the mountains outside the forest were covered with snow, and the snow was getting heavier and heavier, and the road was blocked by the snow curtain, and the road ahead was no longer visible......

The snow has only stopped for two days, and it has only come overnight, and it has been sprinkled non-stop.

The air became colder and colder, biting cold, like a pervasive needle prick, scraping against the fragile skin and bones......

Two black figures quickly passed through the deserted village road.

The man who walked in front was thinly dressed and tall and strong.

And the one who followed behind, wearing a black robe and wearing a tight body, shivered as he walked forward, as he seemed to be very cold.

"Knock-"

"Knock knock—"

An orderly knock on the door suddenly sounded.

In the courtyard of the Hua family, the two sisters and brothers who were squatting by the well to wash the quilt were all stunned.

Hua Xiao glanced at Hua Li, who was sitting on the other side, and Hua Li also blinked a little dazed and looked back.

Early in the morning, who will knock on the courtyard door of the flower house......

Hua Xiao shook off her wet cold fingers, stood up, patted the snow piled up on her body again, trotted over, and opened the courtyard door.

"Quack—"

The old courtyard gate, because of the accumulation of too much snow, was not cleaned in time, and it was a little difficult to open.

"Who are you?"

Hua Xiao hid behind the door frame, poked out half of her head, and looked vigilantly at the two people blocking the gate of the courtyard.

"We're looking for your sister to spend time."

Xie Mingchi looked at the little girl hiding behind the door frame, and her voice was a little hoarse.

Hua Xiao used a little strength, raised her head, and looked at the person who spoke, feeling a little familiar.

"Wait, I'll call her."

Li was still in the house, and the little girl didn't dare to let outsiders in casually.

The things that happened last night are still in Yu Bo, and she is afraid that she will accidentally make her milk angry again, and it is the second brother who suffers......

"Boom!"

The courtyard gate in front of him was suddenly closed again.

Xie Mingchi and He Shan, who were standing at the door, had a closed door, He Shan rubbed his cold hands, stomped his feet, and was stunned for a moment when he heard the sound of the door being closed again.

He Shan turned his head to look at Xie Mingchi, who was standing on the side.

Xie Mingchi's face didn't change much, and his expression seemed to be in a daze......

In the courtyard, Hua Xiao trotted into the hall and knocked on the nearest door at the door of the hall house.

"Bang bang—"

"Flowers, don't sleep, get up quickly, someone is looking for you."

Hua Xiao shouted towards the closed door.

The voice was deliberately low, and he didn't dare to raise it at all......

In the house, he was comforting the little white dog and feeding the little white dog flowers with spring water, when he heard a knock on the door and came over and opened the door.

"Who's looking for me?"

She asked in passing.

Hua Shi took a step back, turned around and walked towards the courtyard, shaking his head as he walked, "I don't know, you can go and see for yourself." ”

The snow was so heavy today that she was shivering with the cold, but she asked them to wash the thick quilt early in the morning.

The second brother slept in the house, and since last night, his forehead has been a little hot, and he is also dazed, and he has not been able to wake up.

She was frightened by yesterday's Li family, didn't dare to resist, pulled the flowers away, stared at the fluttering snow, squatted on the edge of the well, and hit the bucket of water one by one, and the water that was frozen into ice cubes washed the quilt with difficulty......

Hua Xiao has no energy at all now, and she is so cold that she is about to lose consciousness, and she has only one thought in her heart, so she wants to hurry over and wash the quilt......

Hua Shi didn't see that something was wrong with Hua Xiao, and when he heard that someone was looking for him, he immediately reacted, who was the person.

The day before yesterday, Xie Mingchi told her that He Shan would return to the village, and he would come to find him when the time came......

Hua Shi turned around and picked up the bamboo basket on the wooden table, and walked out of the house quickly.

When she saw the courtyard in the snow curtain, squatting by the well, her little hands that were purple from the cold, were scrubbing Hua Xiao and Hua Li of the quilt.

Hua Shi was stunned for a moment, and then he couldn't help but sulk in his heart.

"Hua Xiao, are you two stupid, it's such a cold day, and the snow is falling so heavily, you guys are stupid to brave the heavy snow to wash that broken quilt!"

Hua Shi paused as he walked towards the courtyard gate, and then walked towards the two people who were squatting by the well.

Hua Xiao was still stuffy, scrubbing the quilt with her hands.

Listening to Hua Shi's voice, Hua Li, who was a little stunned, raised his head and looked at her.

Hua Shi got closer, and only then did he see that Hua Li's little black and red face had cracked several openings, and there were traces of blood coming out of the small openings.

It was obviously a wound that had been frozen dry and cracked, some small black and yellow faces, several places, some white skin, lips were also a little chapped, and the eyes were blank.

When I spent it, my heart was suffocated.

"That's it! Don't wash it, go back to the house, and see your hands are cracked......"

Hua Shi couldn't say any more, and she noticed that there were several ripped open wounds on the two of them's frozen red hands.

She looked a little choked......

On such a cold day, the skin on the exposed hands and feet is very fragile, and when it freezes stiff and numb, even if the skin and flesh are torn and bleeding, there is no feeling at all......

These two stupid children are really stunned, cold and snowy, let them wash the quilt, and they have no intention of resisting at all.

Hua Li blinked, rumbling ears with ringing ears, and after a while, Hua Shi's voice came in for him to hear clearly.

The half-grown boy subconsciously staggered his gaze and looked at Hua Xiao on the other side.

Hua Xiao still lowered her head, a pair of hands that were red and swollen from the cold, as if she had lost consciousness, and kept scrubbing the quilt in the wooden basin.

Hua Li glanced at it, silently lowered his gaze, and squatted back.

If Hua Xiao doesn't leave, then he won't leave either......

Although he didn't want to help Milk wash the quilt at all, Milk strangled his dog, he hated her to death, how could he be willing to help her wash the quilt......

But the second brother seems to be sick, and they can't trouble the second brother anymore......

When Hua Shi saw his words, he was completely regarded by the two of them as a deaf ear, and he was a little angry.

She took a deep breath, calmed herself down, and said, "I know it's the milk that asked you to wash it, you guys are really stunned, just wash it, and rub it a little bit stupidly, the quilt is so big, how can you wash it cleanly, just put it in the water and get it wet, it's not good to pick it up again, and you rub it stupidly, and you can't wash it if your hands are rotten." ”

I don't know if the two of them listened to her words, Hua Shi took two steps forward, and pulled Hua Xiao, who was buried with her head facing away from her, and pulled her up.

To her surprise, the little girl was very light, and she pulled the person up with a gentle pull.

"Woo......"

Hua Xiao, who was pulled to stand up, was sluggish for a second, and suddenly hugged her and cried out loudly.

"Woo......"

A muffled cry came from Hanatoki's arms.

Hua Shi's waist was suddenly grabbed by the little girl, and she was stunned for a moment, then raised her hand, moved gently, and helped her head.

It's just that this move made Hua Xiao, who was already on the verge of emotional collapse, unable to hold back for a while.

"Woo ......"

The little girl who broke down emotionally tried to hide her cry in her arms, and all at once, a sullen voice came out.

From today when the sky was still gray, Hua Xiao found that her second brother was unconscious and hot-headed, and she was helpless, so she was blocked by the dirty quilt thrown by her grandmother.

She endured it all the time, took the flowers away, and silently scrubbed the quilt......

They hadn't eaten anything since yesterday, and she was hungry... I was hungry, my hands were cold, and my feet were cold......

Even though she was accustomed to such an ignorant and unconscious hard life, she still couldn't help it when she said that sentence when she spent time.

yes, why are you so stupid, she can't think of anything other than listening to her milk......

When she spent it, she let the little girl hold herself, burying her head in her arms and crying muffled.

It's not just Hua Yu who is thin, these children of the Hua family are very thin, skinny, and the places where they raise their hands are thin and hard bones......

When she was a flower, she could feel the little girl hiding in her arms, crying and trembling shoulders, and she could clearly feel that she was on the verge of collapse.

The last time I cried in her arms was ...... Flower off.

Hua Shi raised his eyes to look at Hua Li who was standing on the opposite side.

Hua Li seemed to be frozen stupid by the cold wind, and stood in place in a daze, his eyes drooping blankly, quietly watching Hua Xiao cry.

Hua Shi had been quietly waiting for the little girl's mood to stabilize until the whimpering cry stopped.

She whispered, "... Don't wash the quilt, you two go back to the house to avoid the snow, what is the frozen state? ”

Her voice was very soft, she cried hard, and Hua Xiao, who was a little drowsy in her head, heard it a little unreal.

The voice seemed to float through the clouds, soft and soft......

She couldn't tell what it was like, but she felt a lot better after crying.

Hua Xiao let go of the hand holding Huashi, rubbed her reddened eyes with the back of her hand, and lowered her head, as if she was embarrassed to look up at her.

"So, what about the quilt? Haven't washed it yet......"

The little girl's cry was hoarse and nasal, and she could clearly hear the fear hidden in her voice.

Fear and fear of Lee......

"It's okay, I'll take care of it."

Hua Shi patted her thin shoulder and comforted.

After coaxing the two siblings into the house, Hua Shi stood in the snowy curtain and looked at the wet quilt in the wooden basin, which was only a moment old and covered with fine snow.

Halfway through, she heard her own sigh......

"Quack—"

The door of the courtyard was closed, and it was opened from the inside.

This time it was Hanatoki who opened the door.

Xie Mingchi, who had been standing in front of the courtyard gate, immediately changed his tense face after seeing the person who was braving the wind and snow to open the door.

"I'm sorry, I've been waiting for you for a long time, it's inconvenient to invite you in the house, so we'll say it's okay at the door."

Hua Shi took two steps out of the door frame, walked outside, and reached out to close the courtyard door behind him again.

What she is doing now needs to be kept secret, so she must not let the Li family know......

When Hua Shi took these two steps outside, Xie Mingchi took several steps back sharply, and only stopped when he stood in the snow outside the door frame.

Hua Shi looked at the narrow door frame, and was embarrassed to beckon the two of them to stand in, so he had to quickly explain the matter so that people could go back......

…
