The sky was dark, with scattered fine snow falling.
This fine snow is like a piece of white ice stuck to a remote cabin.
And in a remote hut, Xiaocao...that is, the young Hua Menghuang shivered and rolled up on the old earth pit.
She needed to spend this winter night alone.
Because her grandmother, who had always taken care of her, passed away not long ago.
"It's so cold..."
Hua Menghuang's face turned blue, and his thin hands tightly grasped the shabby quilt.
After thinking about it carefully, she finally gritted her teeth and decided to get up and add some hay to herself.
She was still six years old. Although she was as skinny as a little monkey, shriveled and dark, she was still extremely powerful compared to her peers.
Very good, she had dealt with everything, so she lay down on the bed, gritted her teeth, and resisted the cold winter night.
The rich are afraid of heat and the poor are afraid of cold.
Every winter is basically a huge test of life and death for the poor. If you are not careful, you will die of cold.
The cold wind was still blowing wildly outside the house, and frost and snow were accumulating on the trees little by little.
The night is getting deeper and deeper.
At some point, a bright silver light floated into the hut through the air leakage on the roof and shone on Hua Menghuang's face.
Hua Menghuang raised her young and dry little face and looked at the bright silver light sadly.
She is too small, too small.
In the past, she could still work with her grandma, asking for some sticky paste from others, and then using it to mend the roof.
Now, even if she begged for slime, she might not be able to do it well.
What's more, these days, with the departure of grandma, everyone in the school has become more and more bad-tempered towards her.
There are even some people who want her to be a child bride!
"No, I will never give in..." Hua Menghuang gritted his teeth as he looked at the silver glow under the moon.
In order to prevent her from becoming a slave, grandma made countless efforts and gave everything she had.
And she, even if she dies, will never go against her grandma's wishes and work as a slave!
Under Hua Menghuang's gaze, the silver glow grew bigger and bigger, and the coldness was also eroding the hut. The perseverance on her face gradually turned into a helpless look.
The dark clouds in the sky gradually disappeared, and the sound of chanting scriptures filled the air.
A new day has begun!
In the school, the excitement gradually returned to normal.
The weather was still cold, and students coming and going all wrapped themselves into rice dumplings.
As for the children, they still lay in their warm quilts and fell asleep happily.
In such an environment, Hua Menghuang, who was wearing patchwork linen clothes, trembled and walked out step by step.
In winter, clothes become very hard, making the step of breaking them even more difficult.
Not to mention the cold water is enough to sting people.
"Xiaocao, this sapphire robe needs to be washed by hand, don't be lazy!"
"Xiaocao, come to aunt's house. Auntie will definitely raise you as her daughter!"
"What's so good about your family is that you want to be a child bride for your son. With your son's foolish appearance, isn't this a disservice to Xiaocao?"
"..."
In the dressing room, someone didn't like it and couldn't help but speak up for Xiaocao.
But, that's all.
The young Hua Menghuang took everything in her eyes and showed gratitude to the aunt who came to her rescue.
Then, she endured the pain of cracked skin on her hands and washed the sapphire robe bit by bit.
There were tears in her eyes.
But deep in her eyes, there is a strong flame of longing for the future...
