He Tiantian naturally knew how much that horse was worth. To be honest, when she looked at that horse, she felt like she had gold in her eyes.
I don't know how Young Master Sun could be so at ease leaving such an expensive horse in her house.
Now, the person most worried is He Tiantian, who feeds the horse well every day, fearing that something might happen to it.
Before He Tiantian could speak, Zhao Xiaohe said, "Brother Shitou, if you use that horse to harness the cart and something happens to you, I'm afraid you wouldn't be able to afford to pay for it even if you sold yourself."
That's true...
He Shitou awkwardly touched his nose and remained silent.
The four men rushing to catch the train outside were dressed the thickest and most heavily, their hats and scarves covering them completely, leaving only their eyes showing.
Unfortunately, it was snowing all the way, and the white mountain road was so bright it hurt people's eyes.
The women and children inside the carriage were initially chatting enthusiastically, but eventually they became too lazy to say anything.
With so many people and such a small space, it was warm but also incredibly stuffy.
Let's lift the curtain of the carriage to let in some fresh air, but it's too cold outside.
It's unclear how much time passed, but after everyone inside the carriage had dozed off twice, the carriage finally entered the city.
Because of the heavy snowfall, there were only one or two pedestrians on the streets of the city.
The street vendors who used to set up stalls on both sides of the street are gone, and even the shops along the street that are open don't have much business at this time.
Zhao Dahai and Zhao Xiangbei were quite surprised. Previously, every time they went to the city, business was booming.
Today is the most desolate day they have ever seen.
It seems the weather is getting cold, and nobody wants to go out.
The carriage turned into a secluded alley, and Zhao Xiangbei, with his sharp eyes, spotted something huddled in the snow ahead.
He immediately told Zhao Dahai to pull the reins, "Dahai, slow down, slow down, there's something on the ground ahead."
Zhao Dahai then looked closely and saw that it was a dark, indistinct mass that he couldn't make out anything.
As they were talking, the carriage arrived in front of the dark figure.
The sudden stop of the carriage woke everyone inside.
He Tiantian lifted the curtain and looked outside. "Have we arrived yet?"
Zhao Xiangbei got out of the car and said, "Everyone come out and take a look. There seems to be someone lying on the ground."
The person was curled up, their thin and frail body already mostly buried by the wind and snow.
Upon hearing Zhao Xiangbei's words, everyone got out of the car out of curiosity.
He Tiantian and several adults from the Tao family first surrounded the person, looked at it again and again, and confirmed that it was indeed a person.
But after shouting several times, the person on the ground did not move at all.
He Shitou guessed, "Could it be that it froze to death? There's no one around here."
In fact, once the cold winter arrives, it's not uncommon for people to freeze to death. Everyone knows this in their hearts.
"Oh dear, that's terrible... wait, it looks like it froze to death a child." Zhao Yanniang was the boldest to step forward, squatted down, and examined the body.
Only then did everyone dare to get closer and pull the person up from the ground.
It was a little girl with dirty hair and her face smeared with black.
He was very thin and light, and He Shitou easily lifted him up with one hand.
Zhao Xiaolan felt the child's hand and pulse, and suddenly exclaimed with delight, "Still alive! But the situation is very dangerous, we need to call a doctor."
Everyone quickly got to work. Zhao Dahai drove the group to their lodgings, while Zhao Xiangbei hurriedly went to fetch a doctor.
They first went to the house that He Tiantian had bought, and the group worked together to tidy up the girl.
The child's original clothes were so worn and dirty that they could no longer be worn, so He Tiantian took a set of Zhao Wanzi's clothes and gave them to the child to change into.
Cheng Ying boiled hot water and washed the girl's entire body.
After covering myself with thick blankets and with charcoal burning in the room, it warmed up instantly.
The doctor that He Shitou had invited arrived just in time. After the doctor finished taking their pulses and prescribing the medicine, everyone finally had a chance to rest.
Fortunately, they rescued her in time; the girl had probably fainted because she was hungry and cold.
Hearing this, Zhao Denglong, Zhao Xiaolan, and He Shitou went outside to buy food.
When they arrived, it was already past lunchtime, and with such a large family, they couldn't let them go hungry.
They probably needed to buy quite a lot of food, so in the end even Zhao Yan and Zhao Xiangbei went out with them.
Tao and Liu Yulan couldn't stay here for long, so Zhao Dahai drove them to the shop first.
The remaining three people, Zhao Yanniang, He Tiantian, and Cheng Ying, stayed in the little girl's room.
Zhao Yanniang couldn't bear to see these pitiful children, and she felt deeply saddened.
"Poor thing, whose child is this, to be left to freeze in the snow?"
He Tiantian frowned and guessed, "Maybe it came from outside. Luckily we found it. If the human traffickers had seen it, they might have picked it up and sold it."
Cheng Ying nodded in agreement, "Let's ask the child properly when he wakes up, in case he gets lost and we have to send him back."
The three chatted casually, saying that there were too many pitiful people in the world, and that they couldn't possibly help them all if they relied on others to do so.
But since they were the ones who encountered this situation, no one could simply stand idly by.
After waiting for a while, the people who bought the food finally returned.
Everyone was starving, so they managed to eat a little something.
Zhao Denglong also bought a bowl of millet porridge and two steamed buns, which he kept warm by the stove, hoping the baby in bed would wake up and have some to eat.
