C129 (1/2)

In the blink of an eye, it was winter. They had heard that the winter was especially cold, much colder than before. The heavy snow continued to fall for many days without stopping for even a moment. I think so. Even my body that has been tempered three times feels very cold.

In fact, the weather is so cold that there aren't many people who would listen to my lecture. In a single day, even with storekeeper Qian's kickback, they only received half a tael of silver.

On the way back, there were a lot of beggars, of all ages, who struggled to climb over when they saw someone coming. However, they didn't want silver coins or steamed buns to eat, but rather some shabby things to winter with, in the hope that they would be able to survive this cold winter.

However, their expressions were dull and unmoving, and they no longer breathed. Perhaps their corpses would only be cleaned up after the winter had passed, and it was unknown just how big of a pit their corpses would fill this time.

Feeling their cold and trembling hands on my legs, I sighed and threw out half a tael of silver from my body.

”Buy some quilts, you can use them now …”

I don't know why, but I felt extremely comfortable doing this. Before, I didn't care much about killing, but now that I have calmed down and become a mortal, my compassion unexpectedly grew without a sound. Perhaps, the kindness of character that he had shown at the beginning of time was indeed due to this logic.

As the bamboo staff groped around, I walked forward slowly. This loathsome winter really wasn't a pleasant one.

”B-brother, save me, my brother, please …”

The trembling voice of a little girl sounds by my ear, but it makes my heart quiver. Hearing this voice, I feel extremely close to her, as though I can't help but have the urge to help her.

Could this be fate?

Seeing that I had stopped walking, Xiao Bai guessed what I was talking about and whispered in my ear, ”It's a little girl about ten years old. Seeing that I had stopped walking, it seemed like Xiao Bai guessed what I was thinking and whispered in my ear,” She's about ten years old, and her face is blue from the cold.

”Sigh …”

I slowly walked to the side of the little girl. Perhaps she didn't think that I would have the chance to shout out loud. I actually responded to her and shouted in surprise, ”Benefactor, please save my little brother. Please, I'm willing to repay you with my life!” He didn't even tremble when he spoke. Then came the sounds of ”peng peng peng”.

”She is kowtowing to you. Sigh, it's quite pitiful …”

Hearing Xiao Bai's explanation, I quickly bent down and helped the little girl up. I took off my outer clothes and draped them over her shoulders. ”Can you still walk?”

”Yes, we can move!” He could move! ”Thank you benefactor, thank you benefactor!”

On the other hand, the little girl was more intelligent. She understood what I meant from my words and started crying tears of joy. She quickly hugged her little brother and followed behind me, step by step.

As he entered the house, he felt a wave of hot air blowing against his face. It was a very comfortable feeling. He closed the door and threw a few sticks of firewood into the fire that had not been extinguished.

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

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

”What's your name?”

”Reporting to benefactor, my daughter's name is Xiao Yu. Mo Xiao Yu died when my mother gave birth to my younger brother. A few days later, my father passed away due to exhaustion, so my younger brother didn't name her.” The little girl didn't seem to be sad at all when she talked about her past. Perhaps she had already seen through the miserable experiences she'd gone through at such a young age.

”No name?” I suddenly thought of the two birds that I named Da Hui and Xiao Hui on the 13th mountain. It is a pity that I was unable to save them …

”Benefactor, can you save my brother? He is my only family member …” As the little girl said this, she choked with sobs, ”My daughter may still be young, but she is not afraid of hard work. She can even do dirty labor. Warm, warm bed … ” After saying that, the voice was like a mosquito's; it was extremely bashful.

”Heh …” When Lil 'White heard this, he placed a threatening voice on my shoulder.

I patted Lil 'White's head and said, ”Little Yu, don't worry. I'm not that kind of person. You don't have to do dirty work or warm your bed. I'll save your little brother. You guys can stay here peacefully tonight.”

”Thank you, benefactor!” ”Thank you, benefactor!”

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

”Get up. If you keep kowtowing, I won't save your brother.”

Ah!” Little Yu jumped in shock and quickly stood up.

Actually, the two of them gave me an extremely intimate feeling, so no matter what, I would save them. This is just scaring her.

I shook my head and patted Whitey. Whitey reluctantly stood up and yawned. Then, it jumped onto Little Yu's body and quietly breathed out its Danqi into his body.

”Your little brother is fine. If you want him to wake up earlier, then go heat up some hot water for your little brother to drink.”

”Yes, yes, thank you, benefactor.”

”Don't call me benefactor. I'm called the White Fox Justices. In the future, you can call me Justices.”

”White Fox Hermit? ”Are you the scholar who told the story?”

Hearing Xiao Yu's pleasantly surprised voice, I doubtfully asked, ”What? You've heard it before?”

”No no, Immortal Drunken Wine heard from Jushi that a book costs five taels of silver. How could Little Yu have the money to listen to a book?” Little Yu quickly said as he boiled the water.

”Heh heh, I can also teach you guys if you want to in the future.”

”Really?” Little Yu let out an extremely joyous cry, but even his hands had stopped moving. ”En!” I nodded and sat down on a chair.

”Justices?” ”This house is so small, where are we going to sleep later?”

I was stunned. That's right, there was only this one bed. Where would I sleep?

”It's not you sleeping, it's me sleeping, where can't you sleep, ah?”

”But,” Lil 'White's aggrieved voice was heard, ”Lil' White wants to take human form and sleep with me …”

”Pfft!” The tea that just entered his mouth immediately spurted out.

”Justices?”
