This night, Mr. Zhang and Zi Lu slept together. Mr. Zhang felt much safer, so he let Zi Lu sit outside and wrapped himself in a quilt. Anyway, if Xue Mang was hungry in the middle of the night, he would nibble Zi Lu first...
Datong naturally slept with Haitang...
"There are some things you can't say, right?" Datong said.
"I really don't want to be the bad guy who breaks up a family." Haitang was also worried about this matter.
"Seeing the innocence and happiness of Wanwan living here, her parents treat her like their own child and educate her well. If she enters the palace, she may become a canary in a golden cage. She may not be happier than she is now. The only thing that is certain is
I am richer than I am now, but wealth cannot bring happiness..." Datong said.
"My husband, I think the same thing. That's why I can't speak, and I don't know whether it's right or wrong." Haitang thought from Wanwan's point of view.
"How about tomorrow we try to ask Wanwan what she means and see what she thinks." Datong suggested.
"That's fine." Haitang said.
"I don't know if it will be a sunny day tomorrow. Come on, let's go to bed early." Datong stretched out his arms. He knew that Haitang liked a taller pillow, but the pillow made of pheasant feathers was already very low.
The arms could be higher.
Haitang smiled and did not reject Datong's kindness. She lay in his arms and had a sweet and soft dream...
When it was almost dawn, Haitang and Datong all woke up, trembling all over...
I could clearly feel a cold wave coming from outside, cooling down completely. Although there was a charcoal fire burning in the house, it was no longer enough to keep out the cold.
Datong's arm was numb. He originally wanted to wrap the two of them in a quilt, but he couldn't move his arm.
"You fool, you don't know how to take it out at night when you are numb..." Haitang gently picked up Datong's arm, kneaded and massaged it for him.
"Take it out and you'll wake up," Datong said.
When Datong's arm healed, the two of them wrapped themselves tightly in the quilt, each other's body temperature could still warm each other, they brought the charcoal fire to them, and finally felt a little warmer...
Forget about the fickle weather in the mountains, even the seasons are fickle. Haitang felt that this cold current dropped the temperature by at least fifteen degrees. Fortunately, she found the Wanwan family, otherwise she would freeze into an iceman if she stayed out overnight...
At the same time, Zilu was also woken up by the cold at night, and the only one who didn't wake up from the cold was Mr. Zhang.
Why?
Because Mr. Zhang felt cold at night, he unknowingly moved Zilu's quilt and the animal skins on it to his side, and wrapped them tightly on all sides, like a super rice dumpling.
The charcoal fire is also on his side, can he freeze?
Zilu had nothing but his own clothes and was leaning against the window. It would be strange not to wake up...
"This guy clearly promised to sleep on the same side, but he came here to steal my quilt..." Zilu was not polite, so he pulled off all the quilts and animal skins from Master Zhang, and covered himself...
…
"A sneeze, a sneeze..." Mr. Zhang sneezed several times in a row and curled up, feeling that he was getting colder and colder. When he woke up, he saw Zi Lu with a smile on his face...
In the end, the two negotiated and held each other for warmth...
Lu didn't agree with this at all, but looking at Mr. Zhang's frail body, he couldn't help himself without giving, so he had to lend him his shoulder.
