Not only Huaying was wearing tattered straw sandals, the other two in the yard were also wearing only a pair of thin straw sandals, with almost their entire feet exposed, which were red and purple from the cold.

Hua Shi looked at the cloth shoes on her feet. She was not wearing socks inside. The cloth shoes were just a thin layer of cloth and did not keep her warm at all.

She walked all the way in the mountains, and her feet were numb. The heels of her feet were hurt and numb from being pricked by stones. The weather was cold, and her feet were almost numb...

It is not difficult to imagine that if we don’t make money quickly and bring back some supplies, it will be difficult to survive this winter given the current situation.

"You went up the mountain?"

A clear voice interrupted her thoughts, and Hua Shi looked at Hua Xiao who spoke.

The little girl's face was red from the cold, and her lips were a little chapped, but her eyes seemed to be shining as she looked at her.

Hua Shi nodded without saying anything.

She knew what the little girl was thinking, but having learned from her previous experience, she didn't rush to get close to her...

Hua Xiao looked eagerly at her basket of winter dates, then looked at Hua Shi who showed no intention of speaking, and her face was obviously conflicted.

In the end, reality overcame the shyness in her heart. She cleared her throat and asked softly, "Where did you pick these white dates?"

Hua Li, who was standing behind Hua Shi, also looked at her curiously, blinking his eyes at the winter dates in her basket, looking eagerly.

Hua Shi rubbed her cold palms. The falling snow seemed to be getting heavier. She could clearly feel the chilly touch of the snow falling on her head.

She walked towards the eaves and replied to Hua Xiao's question, "In the mountains."

Hua Xiao choked, perhaps because she really wanted to know where the winter jujube was, so she suppressed her temper and followed.

"I'm asking where in the mountains it is?" Hua Xiao asked, and you could see that she looked very conflicted.

Hua Shi patted the fallen snow off his body with one hand. After his body was wet by the snow, his body temperature was rapidly dissipating and he felt cold all over.

She looked at Hua Xiao, who was staring at her eagerly, "Very far away."

She said two words lightly.

It was precisely because he knew the little girl's little thoughts that he asked this question just to know the exact location and then run into the mountains to pick it regardless of anything.

After knowing the location, I'm afraid she will be unable to persuade him even if she wants to, just like Hua Yu last time...

Ever since she went to see Hua Yu last time, the cooperation they had agreed on before can be said to have completely broken off.

Hua Xiao pursed her lips tightly, her body slightly tense, and her brows furrowed. She said angrily, "You just don't want to tell me..."

Hua Shi looked at her angry expression and refused to indulge her. "So what if I don't want to tell you? I can do whatever I want. Putting this aside, don't you know the complicated terrain in the mountains? How can I explain it clearly? This is not something that can be explained in a few words."

Hua Xiao's face froze, and his expression seemed to be suppressed for a moment. He seemed to be startled by her words, and his body shook slightly.

After all, she was asking for help. The little girl looked up at her, opened her mouth, and softened her tone. "What do you want in exchange for telling me?"

Hua Shi clenched her fingers lightly, her thoughts paused, and she looked at the little girl who was staring at her anxiously. Then she changed her mind and said, "I can take you with me next time, but I have one condition."

Hua Xiao hurriedly asked, "What are the conditions?"

"Once you enter the mountains, you must obey me in everything. When you go into the mountains to pick winter jujubes, you can eat whatever you want, but you must give all the winter jujubes you pick to me, and I will distribute them."

“Why?!”

Hua Xiao stared angrily, with an expression of disbelief.

Hua Shi fumbled with his cold fingertips and said slowly, "Of course it's because I found it. Oh, by the way, I forgot to mention that what I found was not just one or two jujube trees, but a whole jujube forest."

Hua Xiao frowned tightly, "But even so, we can't just pick all the fruits and give them to you. What about us?"

"You can eat as much as you want." Hua Shi replied.

"That's not fair."

Hua Xiao was so angry that his face puffed up.

“Nothing in this world is fair.”

Her nonchalant and nonchalant tone made Hua Xiao so angry that he almost jumped up.

She used to be very articulate, but now she has no way to deal with this bad woman! Damn it!

"I can't give it all to you. I can only give you a little as a reward." Hua Xiao insisted, gritting his teeth.

"Then we have nothing to talk about." Hua Shi shrugged and pretended to go back to the house with the basket.

"Wait! You!"

Hua Xiao stretched out his hand to block her way, staring at her with his big eyes, which seemed to be filled with tears, obviously because he was angry.

She looked at the white dates in Hua Shi's basket. The dates were large and plump, and looked delicious...

Because of this, she was angry and unwilling to accept it. She gritted her teeth and said viciously,

"You're going too far!"

"Hey, you have to understand. I'm not being overly harsh. I'm just willing to take you there. Otherwise, that large date forest would all belong to me. Now I'm willing to take you there, but you know there's no free lunch in the world. I won't pay you any attention unless you give me some compensation."

“That’s not even a little bit!!”

When Hua Xiao growled these words, her voice was filled with tears.

Obviously he was going to faint from anger...
