bite.
Snowflakes are falling.
Time flows again outside the window.
......
The following afternoon.
Qin Luo was preparing lessons in the main hall of the Taoist temple.
Lin Jia'er's voice rang out from outside the Taoist temple. She ran excitedly to the temple, "I'm back!"
Qin Luo saw Lin Jia'er carrying a white shoulder bag and wearing a red tiger-head hat. He looked up and asked with a smile, "Jia'er, Uncle Qin told you he would pick you up tomorrow. Why did you come back now?"
Lin Jia'er scratched her head. "Uncle Qin, it was so boring at home, so I came back first. Don't worry, I wrote a letter to my parents and left it at home."
"You can't do that again."
Qin Luo said earnestly.
"knew!"
Lin Jia'er smiled and ran deeper into the Taoist temple.
"Sister Xiaodie, where is the Great Protector?"
Xiaodie shook her head. "They went out."
"All right!"
Lin Jia'er was somewhat disappointed.
Zi Yue, who was sitting cross-legged on the platform cultivating, opened her eyes. She stood up, blinked, and said gently, "Come on, your aunt will take you to find the Great Protector!"
"Thank you, Auntie!"
Lin Jia'er put her white handbag inside the house, and then she left Longhu Temple with Ziyue. Xiaodie followed them away.
Ziyue gave Lin Jiaer a speed talisman, and they moved swiftly, arriving deep in the mountains in the blink of an eye.
"Selling coal! Selling coal!"
Xuanqing sat on the oxcart, working hard and shouting.
The little dumpling sat behind the oxcart counting copper coins.
"Great Protector!"
Lin Jia'er found Xiao Tuanzi and the others.
The little dumpling looked up and said in a clear voice, "Jia'er, why did you come back early?"
I miss you all!
Lin Jia'er climbed onto the oxcart.
Zi Yue asked with a smile, "Great Protector, business is good! How much money have you made?"
The little dumpling proudly said, "Two catties of coal, one coin, we made almost four hundred coins."
In Baiyun Town, a pound of coal costs two coins. The coal that Xiao Tuanzi and his friends sell is of good quality and cheap. Niu Mang just hauled a cartload of coal, and most of it has already been sold.
Xiong Shan mined coal in the mountains, Ma Hu and Niu Mang hauled the coal, and Xuan Qing and Xiao Tuanzi were in charge of selling it.
Lin Jia'er's eyes were filled with admiration. "The Great Protector is really amazing. My dad doesn't earn that much in a day."
"hey-hey."
The little dumpling grinned and said, "After we sell all the coal, the Great Protector will take you to town to buy candy."
"Uh-huh."
Lin Jia'er was overjoyed.
Niu Mang pulled the cart around in the mountains, while Xuan Qing and Lin Jia'er shouted loudly, "Coal for sale! Coal for sale! Freshly dug coal! Two catties for one coin!"
"Wait! Wait!"
Two burly men ran out of the forest, carrying baskets on their backs. "Great Protector! We need fifty coins' worth of coal!"
Little Dumpling often wanders in the mountains, and even the hunters living deep in the mountains know her.
"Here is fifty coins."
The younger-looking, burly man handed the money to the little dumpling.
The little dumpling handed the money to Lin Jia'er, saying, "Jia'er, you count the money, I'll go load the coal for you!"
"Alright!"
Lin Jia'er had just learned to count, so this was a good opportunity for her to practice, "One, two, three..."
"Fifty copper coins!"
The little dumpling picked up pieces of coal and put them into their baskets. Soon the baskets were full. She clapped her hands, smiled, and said, "This is your coal, take it."
The older, burly man asked in confusion, "Aren't we going to weigh you?"
The little dumpling stretched out its dark little hand in front of them, and said confidently, "My hand is the scale!"
A single basket of coal weighs at least seventy or eighty pounds, and two baskets together would definitely weigh more than one hundred pounds.
"Thank you, Great Protector!"
Two burly men, carrying coal on their backs, left laughing.
