After being exiled, Lucky Zaizai took his whole family to farm.

Chapter 55 A sudden cold night

It was cool in the room, Qin Jia was covered with a thin quilt and slept soundly.

The more I sleep, the colder it becomes?
  In the daze, many people were awakened by the cold, got up, lit oil lamps and looked for quilts.

But not every household has an oil lamp, and many people are too lazy to get up even though they feel cold.

Even among the prisoners who came just this year, some of them didn’t even have quilts.

The price of cotton has always been very high, not to mention a group of homeless prisoners, even the people of Western Shu Kingdom, not every household can have it.

Feeling the cold, Gongsun Wuming quickly stood up, found a coat in the cabinet, put it on, and walked out of the wooden house.

When the man guarding the door for him saw him coming out, he immediately saluted respectfully and said, "I've seen the young master."

"Well, it's getting cold. You should go back and put on some clothes before you come to watch the night."

"Thank you for your consideration, sir." The two of them tacitly agreed and went back to get their clothes.

Anyway, the young master cannot be left alone.

Listening to the whistling of the cold wind in his ears, Gongsun Wuming frowned.

With this sudden change in weather, we don’t know how many people will catch the cold tonight, and how will those without quilts survive.

There are still some quilts in the warehouse, so it is impossible to give them away for free.

He ordered one of his remaining vigil subordinates to “knock on doors from door to door and remind them to get up, put on their clothes and cover themselves with quilts.

As for those families who do not have cotton-padded clothes and quilts, tell them that there are cotton-padded clothes and quilts for rent in the territory.

But there are not many, so those who arrive first come first, and those who arrive later can find their own way to keep out the cold. "

The eastern end of the territory.

Two and a half-year-old children were shivering and huddled on the bed, and the wooden house was making a creaking sound.

Their mother, a woman with a somewhat haggard face, got up and brought dry thatch with tears in her eyes to cushion the child.

Then cover the child with thatch and cover him with clothes.

However, the wind blowing in through the gap was getting colder and colder, with an icy feel.

Looking at the children who were hugging each other but still shivering, the woman bit her lip and stood up to go out.

She knocked on the door of a small nearby wooden house and waited for the man inside to open the door.

"Hey, Juanzi? Are you coming here so late?"

"Brother Zhang, I agreed to what you mentioned a few days ago, but you have to give me a quilt and enough food to survive the winter."

Hearing what she said, the burly man was both excited and a little embarrassed.

After hesitating, he said truthfully: "Juanzi, I only have one quilt at home.

There are two cotton coats. You and I can each wear one, and the food is almost enough to survive the winter. Otherwise, you can take the children over.

We can sleep together, stay warm, and get food together for the winter.

In the future, if these two brothers and sisters are willing to support me until they die, I will raise them as my own children. "

The woman raised her head in surprise when she heard this. She had been reluctant before because she couldn't forget her late husband and couldn't let go of her child.

Originally, they wanted to save enough to buy winter cotton clothes and quilts before winter, but unfortunately they didn't even have enough food for winter, let alone these.

Earlier this year, the family was exiled because of her husband.

The place we first arrived at was a mining area for convicts. In order to stop mining, my husband took them and ran away together.

Because there were pursuers behind them, the family ran separately. She was alone with her two children. She accidentally fell into a hole and hid.

The husband was not so lucky. He was immediately caught and beaten to death with sticks.

So later she took her two children and came to the territory.

The children, one only eleven and one nine, could not help much.

The three of them, mother and son, could only cultivate two acres of wasteland, plant some beans, and half an acre of sweet potatoes, fruits and vegetables. On weekdays, they would go to the foot of the mountain to pick some wild vegetables to satisfy their hunger.

I originally wanted to stay safe for my dead husband, but it was too difficult for a woman with two children in a place like this. Brother Zhang was not the first person to propose to her that she wanted to live together, but he was the one with the best temper.

Like those with scars on their faces, she could only hide.

Fortunately, as long as she stays within the territory, she is safe. If she is outside the territory, let alone her, even the children may not be able to escape the fate of being kidnapped.

She was able to bring her two children here because of good luck. On the way, she met a caravan returning to her territory.

Sure enough, this time her choice was still right.

Tears filled her eyes when she heard that the man was willing to accept her children.

"Thank you, Brother Zhang. Don't worry, the two children will definitely treat you as their biological father.

If they dare to be white-eyed wolves, even my mother will never recognize them again! "

The wind tonight is so cold. It has only been out for a while, and it is already several times colder than before.

Juanzi knew that this would really chill people to death.

Although the man was willing to accept the three of them, mother and son, for his own reasons, she was still grateful.

Because she knew that if she relied solely on herself, the mother and son would die soon after the winter.

"Cough cough..."

The wind became stronger and stronger, and the soil on the ground was kicked up into pieces of sand.

Zhang Tieguang quickly went into the house and took out a set of cotton-padded clothes and put them on her, "Put them on quickly, let's go pick up the child."

"Thanks……"

"Hey, you're welcome. We will be a family in the future, so why should we say thank you?"

Juanzi's face turned red when she heard this, feeling embarrassed and shy.

If she really couldn't survive, she would definitely not marry again.

I don’t know if the children will blame her for being such a shameless mother.

Fortunately, her relatives and tribesmen were not in this exile, otherwise she would have been drowned.

The two hurriedly brought the shivering child to Zhang Tieguang's wooden house.

The two slept in the middle, and the two children slept on both sides. The four of them shared the only quilt.

As for the two cotton-padded clothes, they were put on the two children respectively, for fear that the quilt would be too small and they would not be warm.

There are many scenes like this in the territory.

Those who can be exiled have basically been searched, and not everyone can hide money.

Not everyone has money to hide.

Most people can only survive these years.

Eat frugally and use the little grain you grow to exchange for things you need in life.

For things like quilts and cotton-padded clothes, one piece per household is enough.

Whoever goes out wears cotton-padded clothes, while others sit on wooden beds, curled up in quilts and never go out.

***
  it's too cold.

The wooden house itself was drafty, and Qin Jia felt that the sudden cold was a bit too much.

She quickly got up and drew many things.

First of all, there are quilts, one for each person, one for the mattress and one for the cover.

Then there are four sets of stoves and briquettes. You can also warm some hot water in the room, so you can drink it at any time.

Give everyone in the family a set of warm clothes.

She has always been cautious when she should be cautious, but she has never been timid when it was time to use her golden fingers to improve the living standards of herself and her family.

Exposure is an unknown thing, but coldness is a thing now!
