Chapter 112

Xia Yu came over with an oil lamp. The lamp was as bright as beans. The area that could be illuminated was very small. As soon as the wind blows, it will shake and go out at any time.

Xia Yu also saw the dark things in the yard, trembled, but stood up in front of Xia Qianqian: "elder sister, I'll see it!"

"No, in case it's a beast." Xia Qian pulled Xia Yu behind him and said, "go and get a stick."

Xia Yu quickly took the stick and held it vigilantly, looking at the black things in the courtyard.

Sister and brother stared for a while, saw that the thing didn't move, then boldly came forward.

Xia Qianqian's heart is hanging tightly, one small step by one tentative forward. Strong as she is, she doesn't have to make it.

Xia Yu is holding the stick tightly, nervous to sweating.

When I got close, I could see clearly that it was not a wild animal at all, it was just a sack.

"Sister, it's not a beast." Xia Yu was relieved and stepped forward to kick the sack, "elder sister, there is something inside, it's hard."

Xia Qianqian came forward to untie the sack and was shocked.

It's a bag of good silver charcoal, something that the rich can afford.

"Who sent this?" Xia Yu looked around curiously.

It was dark all around, only a few dim lights decorated the night, and there was no one outside the yard or on the road.

Xia Qianqian thought, holding the lamp with his feet, measuring the footprints left on the snow. The footprints are two circles bigger than her feet. They should be men's feet. Outside the courtyard, there are two tracks of wheels on the snow.

The people who sent the charcoal were driving a carriage. There was no carriage in every village. But there are both carriages and silver charcoal I think it's only the local customers in the town.

Gu Changsheng?

Thinking of him, Xia Qianqian's heartbeat missed half a beat.

"Elder sister, did someone you know send it?" Xia Yu asked.

Xia Qian shook his head: "I don't know."

It's too dark to tell whose carriage it is just by the wheel marks.

"Shall we take the charcoal?" Xia Yu asked. In fact, he really wanted to accept it. His idea was very simple. The thatched cottage was too cold. With yintanniang and her sister, she would not be frozen at night.

"Yes." Xia Qian said decisively. No matter who sent it, it's hers. It's not in vain.

She used to envy the winter in the north, because of the snow. Now she's not envious! It's too cold! She's only been out for a while, and her hands and feet are stiff.

The sister and brother drag the charcoal back to the house. Xia Qian finds a broken iron basin and puts the Silver Charcoal on the fire. Then he moves it to the bedside.

The sudden warmth made Qin feel strange: "Qianqian, what did you put?"

"Charcoal basin." Xia Qian said.

"Where do we have charcoal?" Qin asked strangely.

Xia Qianqian and Xia Yu looked at each other. Xia Qianqian lied and said, "I bought it today."

As soon as Qin's eyebrows wrinkled, Xia Qianqian knew that she began to love money again. She said with a smile, "it's not expensive. I bought a bargain."

"Mother, it's not cold to sleep at night." Xia Yu sat down beside Qin Shi, "Niang, will you sleep with me tonight?"

Xia Qianqian chuckled: "there is only one bed at home. There is no choice. We four sleep together."

"That's it." Qin holds Xia Yu lovingly and thinks about how to sleep tonight. Beds can be squeezed, but what about quilts? They have only one broken quilt, and four of them are not enough.

Xia Qianqian took out the green Cape: "you three squeeze into the bed, I sleep in clothes, and then wrapped in the Cape, it won't be cold."
