In the blink of an eye, it was already winter, and I heard them say that this winter was very cold, much colder than before, and the heavy snow had been falling for many days, and there was no pause for a moment. I think so, even my body that has been tempered three times feels very cold, and ordinary mortals can't stand it.

No, the weather is cold, and there are fewer people who even listen to me, and at the end of the day, plus the money shopkeeper's deduction, he only got half a tael of silver.

On the way back, there were many beggars, young and old, who saw people coming, and struggled to crawl over, but they did not ask for silver copper plates or steamed buns to eat, but begged for some shabby wintering things, hoping to survive this harsh winter.

And around them, there are many people who are also down, but they are dull, motionless, and have long lost their breath, maybe only when the whole harsh winter has passed, their corpses will be cleaned up, and I don't know how big the pit will be filled by the corpses this time.

Feeling their cold, trembling hands gripping my lap, I sighed softly and threw the half of the silver out of my body.

"Buy some quilts, you'll use them"

I don't know why, but my heart is extremely comfortable after doing this, I didn't care about these things before, I was decisive in killing, and bloodthirsty as usual, but now I put my mind at ease and became a mortal, and my compassion grew silently. Perhaps, what Mr. taught back then, at the beginning of people, nature is good, and this is indeed the reason.

The bamboo cane groped, and I walked slowly forward, this nasty winter was really not pleasant.

"Big, brother, help, my brother, let's go"

In my ears, there was a trembling voice of a little girl, but it made my heart tremble, and when I heard this voice, I seemed to feel extremely kind, and I couldn't help but feel the urge to help her.

Could it be that this is fate?

Xiaobai saw that I stopped, and also guessed something, and whispered in my ear: "It's a teenage girl, her face is cold and blue, dirty, wrapped in a layer of rotten quilt, it seems that she is indeed frozen, and there is a little boy in her arms, probably only seven or eight years old, her breath is weak, if she is not treated, I am afraid she will not be able to survive tonight." ”

"Alas"

Slowly walked to the side of the little girl, maybe she didn't expect to try her luck and shouted, I really responded to her, and shouted with some surprise: "Engong, save my brother, please, I am willing to repay you by being a cow and a horse for life!"

"She's kowtowing to you, alas, it's pathetic."

Hearing Xiaobai's explanation, I quickly leaned down, helped the little girl up, took off her coat, and draped it over them, "Can you still walk?"

"Mmmm, you can move! Walk! Thank you, thank you!"

The little girl, however, was wiser, and understood what I meant from my words, and wept with joy, and hurried to her brother, and followed me step by step.

When I entered the house, I suddenly felt a lot of heat, and I closed the door and threw a few firesticks into the fire that had not been extinguished, and the temperature suddenly rose a lot.

"Put your brother on the bed and let me see. ”

The little girl quickly put her brother on my bed, and I walked over slowly, fumbling and putting my hand on his forehead.

"What's your name?"

"Hui Engong, the little girl's name is Xiaoyu, Mo Xiaoyu, my mother died of dystocia when she gave birth to my younger brother, and my father died of exhaustion a few days later, so my younger brother has not been named yet. The little girl talked about the past, but she didn't feel much sadness, maybe she was young but had a miserable experience, and she had already seen it through in her heart.

"No name?" I suddenly remembered that on the Thirteenth Peak, I named the two birds Big Gray and Little Gray, but unfortunately, I couldn't save them

"Engong, can you save my brother, he is my only relative" The little girl said here, but she was a little choked, "Although the little girl is still young, she is not afraid of hardship, and she can do dirty work, and in a few years, she can still warm and warm the bed for Engong" said back, her voice was like a fine mosquito, and she was extremely ashamed.

"Drink" Xiaobai heard, but it was a threatening voice on my shoulder.

patted Xiaobai's head, I shook my head again and again: "Xiao Yu, don't worry, I'm not that kind of person, you don't have to do dirty work, you don't have to warm the bed, I will save your brother, you can live here with peace of mind tonight." ”

"Thank you, thank you!"

When Xiao Yu heard this, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

"Get up, if you don't kowtow again, I won't save your brother. ”

"Ahh

In fact, both of them gave me a very affectionate feeling, so I would have saved them anyway, and that was just to scare her.

Shaking my head, I patted Xiao Bai, Xiao Bai stood up very reluctantly, yawned, and then jumped on Xiao Yu's younger brother, quietly exhaled his breath, and integrated into his body.

"Your brother is fine, if you want him to wake up early, go boil some hot water and feed your brother to drink." ”

"Yes, yes, thank you. ”

"Don't call me Engong, my name is White Fox Layman, and in the future, you will call me Layman. ”

"White Fox Layman, are you the layman who told the story?"

Hearing Xiao Yu's surprised voice, I wondered, "What, have you heard it?"

"No, no, when the drunken immortal heard the layman say that a book costs five taels of silver, where does Xiaoyu have the money to listen to books. Xiao Yu said as he boiled water with his hands and feet.

"Hehe, if you want to in the future, I can also teach you. ”

"Really?" Xiao Yu's extremely joyful voice came, and even the movements in his hands stopped, "Hmm!" I nodded and sat down in my chair.

"Layman?" Xiaobai muttered in my ear, "This house is so small, where will we sleep later?"

I was stunned, yes, there is only this one bed, where do I sleep?

"It's not you who sleep, it's me who sleeps, where can't you sleep, ah?"

"But," Xiaobai's aggrieved voice came, "Xiaobai wants to transform into a human form and sleep with a layman."

"Poof!" the tea that had just been drunk in his mouth suddenly squirted out.

"Layman?"

Xiao Yu's surprised voice came, and I hurriedly waved my hand and said, "It's okay, it's hot." ”

"Is it hot," Xiao Yu muttered slightly confused.

Tonight, Xiao Yu slept by the fire, and I lay on the chair all night.

Early in the morning, Xiao Yu woke up first, but she crept to the bed to see her brother, not daring to disturb us, but she didn't want me to wake up early.

"Xiaoyu, I'm out, there is some food here, and some silver is there, when your brother wakes up, you want to go, then go, if you want to stay, it is naturally okay. ”

Speaking of the case, I got up directly, pushed open the door, and strode out.

"Layman, really let them go?" Hearing Xiaobai's tone, he was still a little happy.

"What if they don't go?"

"How can you not leave, you saved her brother's life, she also said that she would be a cow and a horse to repay you, if you stay, wouldn't you really become a cow and a horse, besides, so much silver, don't want it in vain. ”

I smiled and shook my head, "Xiaobai, you think about people's hearts too simply, conscience is a level that many people can't pass, if it passes, it will be considered unpopular."

"Alas, layman, you know that Xiaobai doesn't understand people's hearts, how can you understand it?"

"Go through a little more and you'll understand. ”

"Oh, layman, why are you coming out so early?"

"Drink at the bar, go to the money shopkeeper for a drink. ”

"Hmph, then you might as well drink water!"

"It's okay!" I laughed, "I don't pay for alcohol."

Drunken immortals, the restaurant of the money shopkeeper, although it is snowing heavily at the moment, but other families have started to do business, but they have not opened the door yet, and they waited in the wind and snow for half an hour before they scolded the yawning Xiao Er to open the door.

"Yo, isn't this a layman, coming for tea so early?"

"What tea, drink!"

I smiled lightly, walked in, and went upstairs.

"Hey, layman, why did you come so early today, damn, Xiao Er still hasn't served any wine?" the money shopkeeper yawned and smiled as he came.

"I didn't have water!" I roared, not caring about the "clicking" palm of the money shopkeeper.

"Why are you here so early today? Isn't it your turn in the afternoon?"

The money shopkeeper here, in the morning is dancing and juggling, refreshing, at noon is the guzheng pipa, wake up, in the afternoon is my book, appetizing! Of course, the most popular is me, so in the afternoon it is often full of guests, but in the morning it is scattered and few people come.

"It's okay, I want to drink, so I'm here, what's the matter, you're not welcome?"

"Of course you're welcome, you're the number one of our drunken immortals!"

I frowned slightly, "Why does that sound so awkward?"

"Alas, I don't know how many lives have been buried in this snow, and that's it, the key is that I don't know how much silver I have to take, you see, it's snowing all day, how many guests are missing?"

"Alas, no treacherous business, I didn't expect you to be not only treacherous, but also ruthless, so many people died because of this heavy snow, you still care about your silver!"

Hearing my dissatisfaction, the money shopkeeper smiled, "I'm happy to rape me!"

"Duan'er, don't learn from your father in the future!"

"How about letting him learn to tell you a story?"

I shook my head again and again, "I have nothing to do with Duan'er, this storytelling is not suitable for him." ”

"That's right!" the money shopkeeper slapped the table, "and you don't let him learn from you, then he has to learn from me." ”

"Where's the?"

The money shopkeeper shook his hand with a big grin, and a cold wind blew me shivering, "I'm already dead"

"Oh, wretched. ”

"What is bitterness, you are not very old, what about your father?"

I also waved my hand, and deliberately lengthened the cuffs, raising a gust of cold wind on his face, "I died early"

"Ahh ”

"You're busy, I'm going to greet the guests, just relying on these little rabbit cubs, I will definitely lose my silver taels!" After the money shopkeeper finished speaking, he got up and went downstairs, and after a while, he heard the sound of flattery.

"Yo, guest officer, please have singing and dancing, and there are beautiful women."

"Guest, don't you drink? Our store is old wine, what are the immortals drunk? You fucking mixed with water, get out"

"Don't run away, it's you, you still owe me money for a meal!

After taking a sip of wine, I paused, and a smile rose at the corner of my mouth, this time it was okay, only mixed with three percent of water, this kind of peaceful life is really comfortable
