39 Charcoal in the snow
Unable to stand it any longer, Ye Piaoling took out a large piece of dried meat and a few steamed buns from his bag and handed them to them.
"It's for you!" Ye Piaoling held something in both hands and stretched out to the boy.
"This..." The boy looked at what Ye Piaoling handed over. Although he wanted it very much, he was also a stubborn person.
He is very strong, otherwise he would not have left his hometown alone with his sister.
From Ye Piaoling's eyes, he saw sincerity and hope, without a trace of sympathy. He moved his lips, rubbed his teeth carefully, and then looked at his sister who was eating next to him. Ye Piaoling slowly put his hands on
He reached out to Ye Piaoling and took over Ye Piaoling's things.
"Thank you!" the boy said, coldly, without any excitement of gratitude, but full of sincerity. He said to Ye Piaoling that his words were firm and powerful. It was also the first time for Ye Piaoling to hear this.
The boy talks to himself.
Ye Piaoling smiled at the boy and said it was nothing, just a trivial matter.
After the boy took the things from Ye Piaoling, he put them aside in a clean place. The girl was still eating. She didn't notice that Ye Piaoling gave her brother some food.
Watching his sister finish the last bite, the boy showed a satisfied smile and said, "Sister, there is more." The boy knew that his sister would not be full after eating such a small amount of food.
The girl didn't ask where the food came from. She knew it was given by the person opposite, "Brother, you can eat it too!" The girl took the dried meat from her brother's hand and put it to her brother's mouth.
"Okay, I'll eat it too!" the boy said as he picked up another piece of dried meat and extended it to his sister's mouth, "Here, let's eat it together."
So the two of them started eating together. The boy knew that these things were enough for him and his sister. If he didn't eat, his sister would definitely refuse to eat, so he started eating too.
With Ye Piaoling giving so many things, the girl was very happy and no longer looked like she was crying before. She was so happy that she didn't notice that her brother was holding a piece of dried meat, but he ate enough to fill her up.
Not knowing the hidden meaning, she naturally thought that her brother was eating with her and was full.
"Hiccup!" The girl burped. It seemed that she had eaten a lot today after being hungry for a few days. The food of Ye Piaoling and his brother and sister almost went into her stomach.
"Here, drink some water!" Seeing his sister burping after eating today, the boy handed her the kettle. When he left his hometown, he didn't have enough food, but water was everywhere in the snowy mountains.
When a brother is happy to see his sister, he will naturally be happy. This sister is everything to him.
"Brother, I'm so full today!" the girl said to her brother with a smile.
"Hehe," the boy smiled, showing an honest and honest look, "Me too! Very full!"
When the girl saw her brother like this, she knew that he had not lied to her. This was what she liked to see the most. Whenever she saw her brother smiling like this, she was very happy.
She thought that her brother was smiling like this because he was as happy as she was after eating. Little did she know that her brother was entirely because of her.
The sky is slowly getting dark, and the heavy snow outside is a little lighter than before, but it seems that I won't stop sleeping until it gets brighter tomorrow.
Ye Piaoling also reluctantly ate something. You must know that the things Ye Piaoling gave them were a large part of Ye Piaoling's existing stock. He could save a little and eat them for a whole day.
Ye Piaoling felt a little sleepy at this time. After all, he was very tired from walking to a place to avoid the snow today. He walked down the mountain, then looked for a place with people and ran around. Even though he was in good spirits now,
Feeling a little sleepy.
The brother and sister opposite were also hugging each other and sitting by the fire. "Brother, I really want to sleep!" the girl said to her brother with her little eyes open.
"Then you go to sleep! I'll hold you like this!" the boy said. "Well, but I feel so cold now. I can't sleep."
How could the boy not feel cold? It was already night and it was still snowing heavily outside. His sister and he had very little clothes on. How could he not feel cold? He hugged his sister to give her warmth so that she would not feel cold.
cold.
Feeling his sister's body slowly trembling, the boy hugged her tighter, wishing he could transfer all the warmth from his body to his sister.
"Brother, I feel so cold!" The girl said with her eyes closed in her brother's arms. Slowly, although she still felt cold, the girl could no longer resist the invasion of sleepiness, and slowly fell into her brother's arms.
fell asleep inside.
Leaning against the wall, Ye Piaoling took out the coat from his bag and wrapped it around himself to keep him warm. After a long time, Ye Piaoling didn't know what time it was, so he got up and added firewood to the fire twice.
After a few naps, I am no longer as tired as before.
Opening his eyes, Ye Piaoling found that the boy was leaning as close as possible to the hotter side of the fire, and the fire was about to burn him.
Despite the warmth of the fire, the sister held by the boy opposite was still trembling slightly.
After thinking about it again and again, Ye Piaoling finally decided to give them one of his two coats. Anyway, he had brought an extra coat for wrapping himself, so there was nothing wrong with giving it to them now.
Ye Piaoling grabbed her coat and stood up, walked to the side of the brother and sister, and sat down on the side, "Take it! Look how cold your sister is."
Ye Piaoling spread the coat on the girl in the boy's arms.
"Thank you." The boy found that Ye Piaoling put a piece of clothing on his sister's body, and he couldn't help but feel grateful. Ye Piaoling clearly heard the gratitude in his heart this time. He was not as cold as before, but now there was more emotion in it.
, it sounds more pleasant to the ear.
So Ye Piaoling talked to him and talked about his affairs.
"What's your name?" Ye Piaoling asked the boy while putting his hand into the fire to warm it and feel the warmth.
"Sima Xingzhi. What about you?" the boy asked. He felt very good about this person who had given his brothers and sisters a lot of help.
"Ye Piaoling," Ye Piaoling replied with a smile, "Why did you take your sister away from home? Can you tell me?"
The boy seemed reluctant to say it. He hesitated for a while, thinking that it was nothing to tell Ye Piaoling, who had given him food and clothing, so he said with sadness, "A few months ago, a terrible tragedy happened in our hometown.
The plague. Our parents contracted the disease and died at that time. Now only my sister and I are left at home." The boy said, almost crying.
Ye Piaoling felt the deep sadness in the heart of this man named Sima Xingzhi. It was okay that he had no parents and no one to rely on. At least it was possible that they would still be alive, but Gu Xingzhi was gone.
"I'm sorry, I really shouldn't have let you say it." Ye Piaoling said apologetically to Sima Xingzhi.
After suppressing his emotions and returning to his usual cold demeanor, Sima Xingzhi said, "It's nothing! This is all in the past."
Ye Piaoling couldn't figure out that this man named Sima Xingzhi was also very open-minded, so Ye Piaoling continued to ask, "Then where are you planning to go?"
"We really couldn't stay in the village any longer, so we left. Now we plan to seek refuge with a relative in Sichuan, hoping they can take us in," Sima Xingzhi said slowly.
"Is that so? Don't you know that this place is still far away from Sichuan?" Ye Piaoling asked.
