Due to the heavy snow that fell overnight, it was rare for the peasants to sleep in.

If it had been a normal time, my parents would have gone to the ground by this time.

Lin Xiao felt very strange, who could this be? It won't be Tian Sanmei again! It doesn't sound like that.

Lin Xiao hurriedly agreed, and then quickly put on his clothes.

Pushing open the door, Lin Xiao, who was shining on the thick snow, couldn't open his eyes a little, he half-covered his eyes with his hands, and then stepped on the snow to open the door.

The snow was so thick that it all reached the calf.

The moment he opened the door, Lin Xiao couldn't help but be stunned.

I saw Xia Yuhe standing in the thick snow outside the gate, and his thick cotton jacket and pants were full of snow, but it could be seen that the snow did not fall, but fell and wiped it.

She had her hands in her sleeves, the green headscarf on top of her head was covered with popsicles, and even her eyebrows were covered with white frost.

The nose exposed on the outside of the bandana was a little red and swollen from the cold.

"Summer Rain Lotus! What's wrong with you? ”

Lin Xiao couldn't help but shout.

At this time, it may be that the parents heard the call outside the gate, and they all got up.

"Hurry up and come into the house."

Liu Xiuzhi shouted in surprise.

Lin Xiao stepped forward violently, he reached out and grabbed Xia Yuhe's arm and pulled her into the upper room.

"Go to the kang to warm up, and I'll make a fire."

Liu Xiuzhi hurriedly got busy.

Lin Mingsheng saw that it was a woman, he was afraid that Xia Yuhe would recognize him, so he hurriedly went to Lin Xiao's room.

At this time, Xia Yuhe choked up and said, "Lin Xiao! Please, save Su Quanquan! ”

When Lin Xiao heard that Xia Yuhe was here for Su Quanquan, he couldn't help but get angry.

"Is it worth it for you? With such thick snow, you are not afraid of freezing to death.

Also, it may be dark when you come out of the house, and there are wolves near us, so you are not afraid that the wolves will eat you. ”

Lin Xiao was angry, and his emotions were a little out of control.

"Xiao'er! Good to say. ”

Liu Xiuzhi, who was busy lighting a fire, hurriedly reminded Lin Xiao.

Xia Yuhe smiled bitterly, she took off the headscarf full of popsicles, the face Lin Xiao saw was no longer the pretty face of Xia Yuhe when she was in school, but a face that was red from the cold, and it was also scabbed with blood, and even a little ugly.

Liu Xiuzhi hurriedly pulled Xia Yuhe to the fire, Xia Yuhe lifted the headscarf and stretched it out on the fire to roast the popsicles hanging on it.

"You roast yourself first, your life doesn't matter as much as this turban?"

Lin Xiao angrily snatched the headscarf from Xia Yuhe's hand, and then threw it on the edge of the kang.

At this time, her sister Lin Qian walked in the door, she took a look at it and ran away, and after a while, she took a scarf of her own and forcibly wrapped it around Xia Yuhe's neck.

Xia Yuhe said that she didn't want anything, and in the end, Lin Xiao lost her temper, and she was honest.

Liu Xiuzhi poured a cup of hot water and brought it over, she said softly: "Hurry up and drink something to warm up, or take off your shoes and put on the kang, and the kang will be warm." ”

Xia Yuhe shook her head, and she whispered to Lin Xiao: "Su Quanquan gambled in the county town and owed gambling debts, and people came to collect debts last night, if he can't pay the money by noon today, he will cut off one of his hands." ”

"If you cut it well, you won't gamble again after you cut him."

When Lin Xiao heard this, he couldn't help but get angry.

Xia Yuhe peeked at Lin Xiao, and she whispered: "I have gone through all my relatives, friends, and classmates, and only you can help me in this matter."

I beg you! ”

Xia Yuhe said, suddenly turned around and knelt in front of Lin Xiao.

"What are you doing?"

Lin Xiao hurriedly took a step forward, and he pulled Xia Yuhe up from the ground.

Xia Yuhe suddenly shed a few tears, she cried and said: "I'm not ashamed to kneel for you, for this matter, I have found all my relatives, and it is a trivial matter not to borrow money, and I was ridiculed by them."

Do you know? I went to borrow a loan shark, and as soon as people heard that it was Su Quanquan, they knew that they couldn't pay it, so they made even more excessive demands, and they asked me to ......"

Xia Yuhe said and stopped.

Lin Xiao let out a sigh of relief and said, "It's not that I don't help you, but I think you are not worth it for this rotten person, didn't Township Chief Zhao ask you to find the leader of the Women's Federation?" They will help you get a divorce, why don't you leave? ”

Lin Xiao said, he raised his voice angrily.

Xia Yuhe wiped away her tears, she smiled bitterly and said, "With a child, what else is there to leave?" Even if I remarry, I will become a drag bottle with my children, and my children will definitely suffer if they follow me.

My life is over, and I can't let my children be like me anymore.

Do you know? It was precisely because my mother remarried and took me with me that my stepfather ruthlessly married me to Su Quanquan. ”

When Xia Yuhe said this, Liu Xiuzhi, who was soft-hearted, hurriedly persuaded Lin Xiao: "Look at it, if you can help, you can help her."

With such a thick snow, she really has no choice but to run to our house in the middle of the night, otherwise she wouldn't have come to you. ”

"Brother! Mom was right.

Don't you have friends you know in the county? Just think of a way through relationships, this sister is not easy. ”

Sister Lin Qian also persuaded Lin Xiao on the side.

Lin Xiao let out a sigh and said, "Hurry up and cook!" If you want to go, you have to eat something, and besides, there is no hurry to do it for a while.

Chopping hands is scary, they want money. ”

Hearing Lin Xiao say this, Xia Yuhe nodded hurriedly.

Mother and sister made breakfast together, and Xia Yuhe politely asked for help, but Lin Xiao pulled her to roast the fire.

After eating a steaming breakfast, Lin Xiao arranged for his sister to come to the county seat to help with Huzi and Chen Erniu on the sixth day of the lunar month.

When the mother saw that her son was coming and leaving, she was a little reluctant, but she couldn't bear it when she saw poor Xia Yuhe.

"Be careful, don't do it again, it's best to use money to solve it if you can solve it with money."

Mom chased to the gate and told Lin Xiao.

Stepping on the thick snow, Lin Xiao and Xia Yuhe walked towards Nanyang Street.

The snow is too thick, and it is particularly difficult to walk, Lin Xiao walks very hard, let alone Xia Yuhe.

Usually a maximum of an hour's journey, they walked for more than three hours, and when they arrived at Xia Yuhe's house, they saw that the door was wide open, and there was no one in the house.

A note was pressed under the pillow along the kang, which read, "Take the money to No. 29 Ganshui Road to get people, and after today, you won't use it"

As soon as he saw the words on it, Xia Yuhe immediately became anxious.

Lin Xiao shook his head and said, "Don't worry, there should be nothing wrong, you wait at home, I'll take the train to the county seat." ”

"Nope! I'm going too, there are some things you can't do. ”

Xia Yuhe's attitude was a little resolute.

Lin Xiao thought about it for a while, and then he took Xia Yuhe to Nanyang Railway Station again.

The snow in Sichuan was much thinner than in the mountains, so it took them an hour to get to the Nanyang railway station, and as luck was good, they got on the wagon just when there was a truck to leave.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Lin Xiao knocked on the door of No. 29 Ganshui Road with Xia Yuhe, but he didn't expect that this was a coal yard.
