Wu Xiaohang does not like winter.
In winter, it means that you need to spend more money on food and clothes to keep out the cold, and spend more money on heating. For ordinary people, this may only be a change of seasons, but for him who is not rich in economic situation , is a heavy burden. I used to be alone, and I could get through it with gritted teeth, but now there is a child in the family. Although the child said that he is not afraid of cold, he is reluctant to let the child spend the winter in an unheated room.
He gritted his teeth and made up for the heating bill. At the same time that the house became warm, Wu Xiaohang was relieved.
After the winter, the originally lively child was quiet a lot. Except for eating, he almost didn't want to move. Wu Xiaohang brought him delicious food in a different way, just because he was afraid that he would not even have the last hobby, and it changed completely. Have no desire.
The child has been living in his house for almost half a year, and Wu Xiaohang is also used to his presence. During this period, although he thought about whether to call the police to find a family for the child, but later found that the situation at the child's home seemed to be not good, Wu Xiaohang stopped such idea. Besides, he looked at the city's tracing information every day, and he didn't find anyone looking for the child. This also confirmed the child's statement that his family didn't love him, and even after finding out that he was missing, he didn't even want to look for him. .
While Wu Xiaohang felt sad, he also breathed a sigh of relief and let go of his inner guilt.
In the fall, the child was injured again, and that time he was seriously injured, and when he got home, he fell into a coma. Wu Xiaohang was shocked when he saw such a situation. He immediately carried him and wanted to run to the hospital, but Wu Ruhuo woke up halfway and refused to go to the hospital.
"I'm fine, don't go to the hospital." Wu Ruhuo insisted, "Just sleep for a few days."
"Who hit you? Who hit you?" Wu Xiaohang gritted his teeth, wishing he could help Wu Ruhuo get back on the scene, "Such a small child is so cruel—it's not a thing." He couldn't help swearing. , just scolded and hurriedly shut up, after all, he carried a child on his back, so it is not a good thing for him to learn swearing.
Wu Ruhuo rubbed Wu Xiaohang's cheek naturally, with a little coquettish taste, he said: "Yeah, he is really not a thing, let's go back, I really don't want to go to the hospital, it's all skin trauma, It'll be fine in a few days."
"No, how could this be a skin injury?" Wu Xiaohang was still reluctant.
But Wu Ruhuo refused to go to the hospital, Wu Xiaohang's persuasion was ineffective, and finally he had no choice but to take the child home. After returning home, he asked Wu Ruhuo why he didn't want to go. After Wu Ruhuo was silent for a while, he said something that made Wu Xiaohang feel extremely distressed.
"Hospitals are expensive, and our family has no money," he said.
After hearing this, Wu Xiaohang hugged him hard, feeling extremely uncomfortable, thinking that he would never let the child suffer from such grievances, nor let others hurt him.
The child was noncommittal to Wu Xiaohang's promise. He leaned on Wu Xiaohang's shoulder, but his eyes were not as pitiful as before, and they became calm and unwavering like stagnant water.
Although he was seriously injured in the fall, fortunately, after the winter, he became a lot quieter and did not like to go out. While Wu Xiaohang was worried, he breathed a sigh of relief. If Wu Ruhuo did not go out, it meant that others had no chance to hurt him.
Wu Xiaohang paid his salary that day. He deliberately bought Wu Ruhuo's favorite cake in the bakery and brought it home happily. Just before he entered the house, he heard a fierce quarrel coming from inside, it seemed that Wu Ruhuo was arguing with someone. He was startled, the first reaction was that Wu Ruhuo's parents came to the door, but after listening carefully through the wall, Wu Xiaohang found that only Wu Ruhuo's voice came from the room.
"I won't do this, shut up!!" Wu Ruhuo was furious, "He's different - at least it's different for me."
The person on the other end didn't know what to say, Wu Ruhuo got even more angry, and even smashed something: "I'll let him know, but it's not time yet, wait a while."
Wu Xiaohang was trying to let him know something when the voice in the room dropped, and then the door opened. Wu Ruhuo, who was standing at the door, had already found him coming back.
The two looked at each other, but Wu Xiaohang was shocked. In Wu Ruhuo's eyes, he saw a look that he had never seen before, his expression was cold and cruel, staring at him as if he was looking at a casual hand Killer ants. Wu Xiaohang was shocked, and he took a step back in a conditioned reflex. When he looked again, Wu Ruhuo had returned to his usual gentle appearance, looked at him with a smile, and said, brother, you are back.
"I... I'm back." Looking at Wu Ruhuo in front of him, the bad sense of disobedience just now was quickly forgotten by Wu Xiaohang, he said, "I brought you your favorite cake, and you won't eat it again. It's freezing, come and taste."
Wu Ruhuo laughed.
The two entered the room and happily shared the small cake. Wu Ruhuo said suddenly, he said, "Brother, if you find out that I am lying to you, will you blame me?"
Wu Xiaohang was cutting the cake with his head down. Hearing the words, he said, "What did you lie to me? Did your family tell you to go back?"
Wu Ruhuo shook his head, indicating that it was not.
Wu Xiaohang said: "Everyone has their own secrets. If you don't intentionally want to harm others, occasional deception is allowed." He raised his hand, touched Wu Ruhuo's head, and said, "Or you want to tell me now. me?"
Wu Ruhuo bit the spoon and thought for a moment, but rejected Wu Xiaohang's proposal, he said, "No, I don't want to tell you now, it's not time yet..."
Wu Xiaohang laughed: "What is the time, what is it?"
Wu Ruhuo said, "It's a very important thing, but I don't want to say it now." He observed Wu Xiaohang's expression, and thought of the step Wu Xiaohang involuntarily took back at the door just now.
But Wu Xiaohang didn't take Wu Ruhuo's words seriously. Wu Ruhuo is only a teenager now, can a teenage child have any particularly important secret? Wu Xiaohang guessed that the secret was probably related to his family, so he was not in a hurry, expressing that he You can wait until Wu Ruhuo wants to say it.
Wu Ruhuo smiled contentedly, and said, brother, you are so kind.
Wu Xiaohang patted him on the shoulder and motioned him to come over to eat cake. The orange lights in the house painted both of them with a warm color. This winter, it seems that it is not as difficult as Wu Xiaohang imagined.
…
Tonight's food is stewed overcooked mutton, with cabbage stored in the cellar, and a dipping saucer that I made myself, it is very appetizing. In fact, when Lu Qingjiu was eating mutton, he liked to boil a little pea sprouts, but unfortunately this year's snow came too early, and they didn't have any crops at home, so they had to give up. But who would have guessed that Bai Yuehu suddenly stood up and went out halfway through the meal. Lu Qingjiu and Yin Xun both looked dazed. While they were wondering if there was something else going on in the city, Bai Yuehu grabbed A handful of crisp and tender pea shoots came back, and there was white snow on his shoulders, but he didn't care, he just patted it and said, "You guys eat first, I'll wash it."
Lu Qingjiu couldn't help but smile and nodded. He didn't say that he wanted to eat fresh vegetables, but he didn't expect Bai Yuehu to see it at a glance.
After the pea shoots are washed, they are placed in a hot soup pot, and they can be taken out and eaten after passing a little water in it. Such pea shoots have a strong aroma, and both the leaves and stems are very tender and refreshing. Lu Qingjiu said, "Where did you get it?"
Bai Yuehu said, "I bought it from the supermarket."
Lu Qingjiu said, "It's delicious."
Bai Yuehu nodded in satisfaction. Although Lu Qingjiu and Yin Xun couldn't go out, he could. Thinking about it this way, they weren't too isolated from the world.
After eating the pea sprouts, Lu Qingjiu's mood improved a lot, and finally he drank several bowls of soup, and his body also warmed up. After dinner, Yin Xun took the initiative to wash the dishes, while Bai Yuehu and Lu Qingjiu sat beside the bed and continued knitting sweaters. I have to say that knitting sweaters is really addicting. As soon as I start, I want to knit in one breath, and I can't stop at all. The earmuffs that Lu Qingjiu planned to give Bai Yuehu weaving were only one-third completed at this time, and it was still too early to complete. As for the things of Bai Yuehu weaving... Lu Qingjiu did not understand.
After the winter, the snow has no intention of stopping. opened.
To keep the house from being blocked, they now shovel snow first thing in the morning. However, this matter of snow sweeping has nothing to do with Lu Qingjiu. Although he wanted to do it, Bai Yuehu firmly refused, saying that Lu Qingjiu's physique was originally cold, and he had to rely on Zhu Rong's ginger soup to warm himself up and get in touch with the snow. Too much is not a good thing, Lu Qingjiu failed to argue, so he could only give up, standing in the room watching Bai Yuehu and Yin Xunsao.
This was held in the house for several days, and finally came across a sunny day, Lu Qingjiu hurriedly went out to bask in the sun for a while. After the heavy snow, it was white outside, and the sun was shining brightly in the snow. Yin Xun sniffled and asked Lu Qingjiu what we would eat in the evening.
Lu Qingjiu said, "Let's see what you and Yuehu want to eat, why are you running nose."
Yin Xun said, "I seem to have a cold..."
Lu Qingjiu: "A mountain god can catch a cold, right?" Yin Xun, a mountain god, is a little too fragile.
Yin Xun said, "Cold viruses are terrifying. Who can't catch a cold? Dragons can catch a cold too!"
Lu Qingjiu: "..." He didn't know what to say.
Although it was a sunny day, Lu Qingjiu didn't dare to go far, so he walked around in the yard a few times to exercise his muscles. At this time, the yard was empty, chickens and rabbits, all of which were moved indoors by Lu Qingjiu before the snow fell. Niuniu didn't go indoors. Bai Yuehu said that his ability to resist the cold was very good. As long as the forage was constant, the meat would be better if it was frozen outside for a winter. Niuniu shuddered silently when he heard Bai Yuehu's words.
As for Qinyuan and the bees in the backyard, Lu Qingjiu also put them in a special storage room, and also put sugar that the bees can eat for them to spend the winter. In short, the whole house is now ready for winter.
In December, the fox father Su Yan came to pick up the little fox cub Su Xi as usual. After last year's situation, this year Su Xi has perfectly preserved his smooth fur and no longer has to worry about being recognized as a VIP. dog. Su Yan was quite moved when he saw this scene, he pulled Lu Qingjiu's hand and shook his hand a few times to express his gratitude, and finally hurried away under Bai Yuehu's bad eyes. When he saw the sweaters in Bai Yuehu and Lu Qingjiu's hands, he clearly thought of something bad. He couldn't help but feel a chill on his back, grabbed his son and hurried away.
Lu Qingjiu asked in a daze what happened to Su Yan, how he was panicked and ran away with his butt pushed.
Bai Yuehu said: "Look at the color of the wool on your hands, does it look like smooth fox fur."
Lu Qingjiu: "…"
Bai Yuehu said: "Count him running fast."
Lu Qingjiu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He bought the original wool from the town, but with their day and night's hard work, it soon became insufficient. Of course, how could Bai Yuehu allow his gift-giving career to be thwarted? He brought back balls of very good quality wool. Lu Qingjiu didn't think much about it, thinking that it was the wool that Bai Yuehu went to pluck from, but now seeing Su Yan's ghostly expression, no matter how stupid he was, he guessed who Bai Yuehu was. Where did the yarn come from...
I have to say that this group of nine-tailed foxes encountered Bai Yuehu, but it was really miserable. Not only did they lose their tails, but they also had a lot of fur on their bodies.
After Su Xi left, the house became much quieter. This year, the New Year is very early, and the New Year will be almost in mid-January. Lu Qingjiu originally thought that they would wait peacefully until the Chinese New Year, but at the end of December, a big event happened in the city - the candle dragon, whose activity track had become low-key, turned out to be a riot.
It was still snowing that day, Lu Qingjiu woke up in a daze and saw Bai Yuehu wearing clothes next to him, he asked, "Where are you going..."
Bai Yuehu said, "I'll go to the city." He turned around and placed a gentle kiss on Lu Qingjiu's forehead, "You stay at home and don't go to the yard, it's too cold outside."
Lu Qingjiu said yes.
Bai Yuehu got up and left, his back was a little hurried, it seemed that the situation was not very good, Lu Qingjiu lay on the bed for a while, and then got up too. cold. It was after ten o'clock in the morning that Yin Xun should have come over. Lu Qingjiu was sitting beside the bed and noticed a strange red glow in the sky. This Hongxia is very familiar to him. It is clearly a symbol of the fire. It seems that it was created by the candle dragon, but he does not know what kind of stimulation he received.
Lu Qingjiu was sitting by the window, when he heard a knock at the door, his first reaction was that Yin Xun was coming, but after the knock, no one came in. Lu Qingjiu moved in his heart and knew that it was outside the door. It's definitely not Yin Xun anymore.
Every time Bai Yuehu left, something would happen, and Lu Qingjiu felt it in his heart, so even though he heard the knock on the door again, he never moved.
The knock on the door rang for a while, then stopped, replaced by a familiar voice: "Lu Qingjiu, come and open the door." - Yes, the owner of the voice is Lu Qingjiu's grandfather Aorun, Lu Qingjiu Definitely not wrong.
Unexpectedly, his grandfather would suddenly come to the door. Lu Qingjiu was a little worried in addition to the surprise. He hurriedly walked into the yard and said, "Grandpa, why are you here?"
Aorun's voice was a little tired, and he said, "Sake, I have something to tell you."
Lu Qingjiu said, "What's the matter?"
Ao Run said: "About the Bai Yuehu."
Lu Qingjiu walked to the door and opened the door to the yard. Sure enough, he saw Aorun standing outside the door, but Aorun's appearance frightened Lu Qingjiu. He saw wounds all over his body and a bandage on his cheek. With traces of scorch, it almost seemed to have escaped from the scene of the fire.
"Grandpa, are you alright!" Lu Qingjiu was shocked.
"It's okay." Ao Run said warmly, "I had a fight with a beast just now."
When Lu Qingjiu heard the name animal, he immediately remembered something: "You fought with Zhulong?"
Ao Run nodded slightly.
Lu Qingjiu said, "Come in first, I'll help you deal with the wounds." Those wounds looked too hideous, not only the skin was burnt black, but even the red flesh inside was exposed. Trembling. Lu Qingjiu looked at the grandfather who looked like this, but what he thought was that if the grandma saw it, she would be very distressed.
Ao Run stepped into the yard, but he did not enter the house, but found a stone bench in the snow and sat down.
Lu Qingjiu hurriedly went into the house to get alcohol and gauze, intending to deal with it to Ao Run.
When alcohol got on the wound, it should have been very painful, but Ao Run didn't change his face, but Lu Qingjiu felt more sad the more he cleaned up, he whispered: "If this doesn't work, I still have to go to the hospital for stitches..."
Ao Run said, "No need, it's not that serious."
"Why isn't it serious." Lu Qingjiu said, "I can see the bones!" He couldn't bear it anymore, and tried his best to relax his hand movements, but for serious wounds, it was nothing but a drop in the bucket. "What happened, why did you fight with the candle dragon, aren't the two of you together?"
Grandpa didn't answer, just sighed softly, and said, "You're not the same as grandma."
Lu Qingjiu snorted.
"Your grandma doesn't like to talk. Although she has a good temper, she is very stubborn. If she sees me like this, she will definitely be sullen again." Grandpa said, "She is very smart, so she rarely persuades me." Don't say unnecessary words, she knows that she can't persuade her lover, so she won't persuade her.
Lu Qingjiu listened quietly.
"You are a good boy." Ao Run said, "you shouldn't be involved in all this."
Lu Qingjiu said, "But I've already gotten involved."
Ao Run said, "No, you still have a chance." He raised his head slightly, his closed eyes turned towards Lu Qingjiu, and then seemed a little confused, "Why don't you leave Shuifu Village?"
Lu Qingjiu stopped what he was doing, took a deep breath, and said in a serious and serious tone, "Because here are the people I love and everything I want to protect."
Ao Run said: "But you are just a fragile human being, who do you want to protect?"
Lu Qingjiu said, "Humans are the guardians, while the dragons are just tenants."
Ao Run was dumbfounded, and sighed again, he showed a look of no way to take Lu Qingjiu. Lu Qingjiu continued to help him deal with the wound. He felt that Ao Run's breath was a little weak, and there was a slight worry in his heart.
The two of them were quiet, only the sound of snow falling around, Lu Qingjiu asked Ao Run if he wanted to go into the room to warm up for a while, but Ao Run refused.
"I'm leaving." Ao Run said, "but before I leave, there are some things to be done."
Lu Qingjiu asked, "What?"
Ao Run said, "You really don't leave Shuifu Village?"
Lu Qingjiu was bent over originally, but after hearing what Ao Run asked, he straightened up. He was a little puzzled why Ao Run insisted on leaving by himself.
"I won't leave." Lu Qingjiu said firmly, "No matter what happens, I won't leave." He couldn't imagine the scene of leaving Bai Yuehu and Yin Xun here, they couldn't even cook. Well, what would happen to the whole family if I left by myself.
Ao Run said, "But you will die here."
Lu Qingjiu was stunned for a moment when he heard the words.
"You will die here, like your parents." Ao Run said.
Lu Qingjiu was silent for a moment, and then gave Ao Run his final answer: "Everyone will die, everyone will. Death is the ultimate destination of human beings. Being with the person you love is not that scary."
After Ao Run heard Lu Qingjiu's answer, there was an indescribable melancholy between his brows. His expression seemed to be crying, but he also seemed to be laughing. With the hideous wound on his face, he looked extraordinarily strange.
Lu Qingjiu was about to ask what was wrong when he saw Ao Run suddenly stand up and put his hand on his shoulder, he said, "Sorry, sake, I don't want to do this either, but if you don't do this, you will definitely Die..." His words fell, and Lu Qingjiu felt an icy aura pouring into his body along his hand, and his whole body was instantly frozen, like an ice sculpture, frozen in place. However, although his body was frozen, his consciousness was still clear. Lu Qingjiu heard Ao Run's heavy sigh, and he said, "It's about to start, it's too late."
Then, a fierce roar came from the door, but it was Yin Xun, who should have come a long time ago but just arrived, when he saw this scene, he rushed towards Ao Run like crazy: "You bastard, let go. Lu Qingjiu—"
Naturally, Yin Xun was not Ao Run's opponent at all, and before he could jump to his side, he was directly hit by Ao Run's hand and hit the wall.
Seeing this, Lu Qingjiu looked horrified. He didn't understand why Ao Run did this, but he also knew that Ao Run would not kill him, but Yin Xun was different. For Ao Run, he was just an insignificant person. Just a mountain god.
Fortunately, Ao Run didn't have any extra moves. After Lu Qingjiu was completely frozen, he let go of Lu Qingjiu's shoulder, reached out and lightly touched Lu Qingjiu's cheek, he said, "I'm sorry."
Lu Qingjiu was speechless and could only look at Ao Run.
"I don't want this either." Ao Run said, "But I have no choice..." He lowered his head, although he couldn't see his expression, Lu Qingjiu felt that he must be extremely sad at this time.
After Ao Run finished saying this, he slowly turned around and left in the wind and snow. Lu Qingjiu stood in the yard like a lifeless ice sculpture. Yin Xun, who was knocked away, stumbled over and rushed over. After confirming that Lu Qingjiu was still alive, he cried and took out his cell phone to call Bai Yuehu, but the cell phone signal failed. It was long gone, his tears flowed out of his eyes and turned into ice droplets on his cheeks, choked up and said, "Ji'er, it's alright, it's alright, you'll be fine, we'll go into the house, the house... it's warm already."
