Chapter 289: Chapter 287: When the Room Leaks, It Rains All Night

“Ye Lei! Why don’t you put me down? Carrying me is too tiring!”

Liu Sisi also noticed that the ice layer under the accumulated snow was thin. As soon as the weight of two people pressed down, his feet sank deep into the snow.

“Stop messing around, the snow is too thick. If you step down, you’ll sink just the same. Just lie obediently and don’t move! That way, we can get home sooner.”

Di Yelei gasped for breath, and as soon as he opened his mouth to speak, the wild wind mixed with heavy snow blew unceasingly into his mouth.

He quickly lowered his head to avoid the wind.

“But! The snowstorm is too strong! You…”

Liu Sisi wanted to say more, but another gust of wind blew by. She quickly lowered her head to hide, burying the remaining half of her sentence in Di Yelei’s back.

In order to resist the strong wind, Di Yelei’s body was almost at a 45-degree angle, fighting against the wind to move forward.

“Don’t talk, once we pass this windy area… it’ll be better! ——”

He shouted with all his might, but his voice was scattered by the wind and snow, making it hard to hear clearly. Liu Sisi simply buried her head in his neck, avoiding the flying snow that went straight into her mouth and nose.

The snow quickly fell, rapidly accumulating a thick layer in the hollow of Di Yelei’s neck.

She hurriedly reached out to brush it off but was blinded by the strong wind and couldn’t open her eyes at all.

“Don’t move! …It’ll be fine in a while!”

Di Yelei shouted, subconsciously propping up her small body and continued to carry her, stumbling step by step towards home against the wind and snow.

After turning past the windy area, the pressure in front of their eyes eased, and the gust of wind immediately lessened a lot. The two of them couldn’t help but let out a sigh of relief, and a warm current flowed through their bodies.

“This year’s snow… is so heavy!”

Di Yelei panted.

“I don’t know how everyone at home is doing.”

Liu Sisi was worried about the elderly and children at home, as well as her Second Sister, Liu Zhi’er. She didn’t know how they were now.

They didn’t get the contract, so how was her sister’s injury, and what should they do in the future? If she continued going on like this, her later years would be ruined! All sorts of thoughts spread in her mind.

“It should be fine, I just swept the snow off the roof this morning!”

Di Yelei answered, walking quickly towards home.

“I’m glad it’s okay.” Liu Sisi’s heart was a mess.

“Sisi, before you came over, Uncle Land Officer mentioned a farm with a small courtyard and hot spring near the official road not far from the county…”

Di Yelei regained his breath, recalling the previous incident, and spoke up.

“Is that so? Then how much do you know about this fertile land?” Liu Sisi thought for a while and asked.

Di Yelei propped her body up again: “I do know about those fields. They’re located upstream of the river, backed by a mountain forest. I went to the hot spring beneath the mountain forest when I was young; it’s indeed a good piece of land. However…”

“Is it because we don’t have enough money? By the way, how much did the person ask for?” Liu Sisi’s question immediately hit the nail on the head.

“They’re asking for 1000 taels of silver.” Di Yelei said indifferently.
