Ye Zhixing held up from the bed, coughed dullly for a few times, and then looked out the window.

A layer of ice flowers formed on the glass - it actually cooled down last night. She pinched her right arm... and still felt a little pain. She turned to look at Rong Shu sleeping beside her - he frowned slightly, as if he had dreamed of something bad, and his forehead was covered with fine sweat.

So she wiped him with a pillowcase, then put on her coat and went down to the floor, and pushed open the door.

The little girl actually got up... It's not dawn yet. Her small body was busy in the stove, and she was trying hard to send a handful of firewood into the pit at the bottom of the pot. But perhaps the branches of the firewood were stuck in something inside, she pushed hard, but she couldn't send them all in, so the flames burned outside, choking her and coughing.

So Ye Zhixing walked over and said softly: "Come on, I'll help you."

The little girl turned her face and shouted sweetly: "Sister, you are awake."

She smiled and nodded, and squatted down beside her. The firewood was pushed in, and the flames suddenly became more intense. In a short while, a sensation of white air came out of the crack of the lid of the pot.

Then the two of them served four bowls of rice, and three of them ate the leftover dishes last night and put them on the table.

The sound of the collision of dishes awakened the people in the other room, and a male voice came out: "Qingqing, don't do it, dad will do it later."

The little girl snorted, "Sister has done it for me!" and ran into the house.

Ye Zhixing rubbed his shoulders with both hands and let out a breath of white breath.

It was really cold this day. This family was really pitiful.

A paralyzed and blind father, with a little girl of six or seven years old, lives alone in this small mountain village. The young people in the village have gone out to work, and the only ones who are left behind are the old, weak, sick and disabled.

It is said that this family was happy and happy in the past... Unfortunately, an earthquake occurred in the summer. The house was gone and the woman died. Even the aunt and uncle who had brought the little girl home were gone.

The two lived in a relief room built by the Imperial Government after the disaster, and the minimum monthly subsidy was only enough for the living expenses of the two and her father's medicine money.

In order to take care of this only relative, the little girl actually dropped out of school.

It is hard to imagine that there will be such poor families in an empire that has existed for hundreds of years.

Ye Zhixing also returned to the room and gently woke Rongshu. The latter opened his eyes immediately and looked around as if he had woken up. Then he relaxed and smiled bitterly: "Sister Yuan, you almost shook me apart."

Ye Zhixing, also known as Ye Yuan, asked in a low voice: "How do you feel?"

"It's still like that... it's not good or bad. But it's good news." Rongshu gritted his teeth and stood up, "Maybe he'll stop for a few more days and get through it."

Ye Zhixing sighed: "It's a pity that the wind is too tight - the outside is still loose on the outside and tight on the inside. If we walk out of this village, we may be targeted. Otherwise, we will get some medicine... and you will be fine."

"Maybe I'll become A-level." Rong Shu grinned and put on her coat. He heard the sound of talking to the little girl in a wheelchair, and frowned, "Is this little girl... okay? I always feel that the little child has evil spirits."

Ye Zhixing immediately changed his face and raised his eyebrows: "I tell you, you are not allowed to move this little girl!"

Rongshu quickly waved his hand: "I'm just talking... Besides... Whose little girl saw two big living people covered in blood coming over at night, and could she be like she was as good as she was?"

Seeing Ye Yuan not speaking, he whispered while wearing shoes: "Forget it, little girl... and her dad. We said we were a couple who came to the farm to travel, and they were robbed... but we neither went to the hospital nor called the police... and we stayed there. He didn't say anything - is it normal?"

Ye Yuan looked out the door and leaned down and leaned closer to him: "I tell you - don't think that you are the smartest in the world. You are her father, what do you say? If we are bad people, he will be a useless person and he will lose all his life! This is what it means to be a brain and courage, do you know?"

Rongshu thought for a while and chuckled: "Sister Yuan, you said this... Hey! He is really a hero of father and daughter. It's a pity that they gave birth to the wrong place."

At this time, the little girl's voice came from the outside: "Sister, it's time to eat."

Ye Zhixing responded and helped Rong Shu out of the house.

The meal was quite simple, and the four of them ate silently. Except for the little girl's tender voice when she picked up food for her father, none of the three adults spoke.

The little girl ate very quickly, then put down the bowls and chopsticks to take care of the blind man. But he groped and patted the little girl's back, and whispered: "Qingqing, go to the house to watch TV. Dad finished eating."

So her eyes turned around the three of them, and she ran into the inner room with a "ah" sound.

The blind man put down his bowls and chopsticks and sat there quietly.

Ye Zhixing and Rongshu looked at each other and put down the bowls and chopsticks.

Hearing this sound, the blind man... Yu Zuojian coughed dullly, cleared his throat, and looked at their positions with his muddy eyes.

"Look, my Qingqing also knows that we have something to say. My daughter... has been sensible since she was a child."

Ye Zhixing said "yes".

The man continued, "You two have been here for a few days, and they are almost well, right?"

No one answered. So he said again, "I am a paralyzed and blind. I just expect such a daughter around me. But, I also know that the identities of the two may not be what you said."

"But I didn't say anything. I knew that if a person was forced to do anything. Besides... you gave Qingqing a lot of money. So I knew that the two of them were not bad people. Maybe they had no way to go, so they happened to hide in our house."

"So..." Yu Zuojian gently hammered his leg, "If you want to leave in the past two days... just leave. Qingqing and I, just pretend that nothing has happened and no one has met anyone. If someone asks me... what can I know if a blind person? If Qingqing asks... no one believes a child's talk--"

Ye Zhixing interrupted him softly: "Don't worry. I like Qingqing very much too. My brother is healthy and we will leave. If things go wrong, I will come back to see her."

Yu Zuojian didn't say anything, but turned his face to the side of Rongshu.

Ye Yuan also hit him with his elbow. So Rongshu nodded: "It's good that you can make it clear. You are also a sensible person, and the little girl is not bad. I listen to Sister Yuan. Don't worry, you must have nothing to do."

Yu Zuojian then smiled from his face and nodded slightly: "Thank you two."

But Ye Zhixing sat there and thought about it... but raised his head again: "Do you have any other relatives in your family?"

"...Huh?" Yu Zuojian was stunned for a moment, and then a look of uneasiness appeared on his face.
