So I'm a sheep.

"And how about my perseverance?"

Aman gave a fake smile: "Very good, you actually managed to run out of the warm room to practice your sword. You're better than I was when I was young!"

"Ha ha ha ha"

"..."

This winter is especially cold!

Holding the cup, which was no longer so hot, Sasha came to this conclusion.

"In the past, pouring hot water into my hands in winter would keep them warm for quite a while, but now my hands are still cold."

"elder sister"

"Ok?"

“This winter seems to be particularly cold. I’m a little worried about my dad. He’s going up the mountain to chop firewood all by himself.”

Seeing Lachesis nod silently, Sasha suggested, "Why don't we take turns accompanying him up the mountain starting tomorrow? That way, we can look after each other."

It's impossible that they didn't mention simply stopping the firewood delivery altogether.

It's not just a matter of integrity; is it really that easy to take money from the Baron's mansion?

"Okay, let's try to persuade him together."

When Vernon returned home, he immediately shook his head when he heard that his daughters wanted to accompany him up the mountain.

"It's too cold outside, don't let yourselves get cold."

"But......"

"Don't worry about it. I've been cutting firewood up the mountain in winter for so many years, and I've never had any accidents."

.....................................

Snowflakes drifted down, turning the world into a vast expanse of white.

"Let's not go today. You always deliver so much firewood; the Baron's family should have a surplus."

Just before leaving, the eldest maid in the house suddenly grabbed her quite forcefully.

"How can this be?"

Vernon shook his head repeatedly: "We didn't inform the butler beforehand. If we suddenly stop seeing him off, people will have something to say."

"Anyone can chop and deliver firewood. If something goes wrong today, they might not want me next time."

Lachesis pursed her lips: "Then I'll come along!"

"Da Ya, stop fooling around, I'll be back soon."

He waved to his daughter, closed the door, and strode out of the house.

Suddenly, Lachesis's ominous premonition reached its peak.

'They can't come back'

'Once you leave, you may never return.'

Fear gripped her, and after what seemed like an eternity, she suddenly pushed open the door and ran outside.

I stepped onto the snow and somehow slipped and fell.

She stood up, wanting to shout, but the howling wind shattered her words.

Don't go!

Don't go—

Unaware of the commotion at his doorstep, Vernon, already quite far away, wearing a winter hat and wrapped in a thick coat, continued his ascent towards the other side of the mountain with a basket on his back.

My jaw is chattering and my knees are shaking.

Lachesis moved forward step by step, but her father walked too fast, and in the end she could only watch helplessly as the man's figure disappeared.

"..."

"Why did they suddenly run out?"

Sasha, who had been woken up by the cold, pulled her sister back into the house and asked with a puzzled look.

There was no answer; Lachesis sat dejectedly on the bed.

'What's going on? This is weird.'

Yawning widely, the girl rubbed her eyes and said, "I'm going to sleep a little longer. Remember to wake me up for lunch."

"kindness"

Sasha breathed a sigh of relief upon finally receiving a response. She snuggled into her warm blankets and soon drifted back to sleep.

.......................................

Vernon did not return home on time that day.

That evening, Sasha knocked on each door and called all the villagers out of their houses.

"Dad didn't come back yesterday, something might have happened to him!"

"Fellow villagers, please come with me up the mountain to search..."

"What's the rush!"

Before Sasha could finish speaking, someone started complaining.

"It's the middle of the night, can't people get some rest?"

"With such heavy snow, Vernon still went up the mountain to chop wood? He brought this on himself if something happened."

Seeing many people shaking their heads and walking into the house, Sasha became anxious.

"We're all from the same village, you have to help us out!"

"Dad might be injured and is waiting for us to rescue him."

"Er Ya, this really won't work."

An elder spoke up: "It's so dark, and the snow is so heavy. Are we going up the mountain now... are we trying to kill ourselves?"

"Let's disperse, let's disperse. We'll help you go up the mountain to find your father when spring comes."

Looking again in the spring? That's like going to collect a corpse!

Sasha was furious, but could only plead softly.

"Please, please! The mountain is so big, my sister and I can't find it by ourselves."

"Whoever is willing to help, we'll give them one of our sheep!"

"And also, give him the dowry that Dad saved for us."

Hearing this, the men stopped in their tracks, somewhat tempted.

"Really?"

I swear to God!

The girl quickly swore, "These things are not as important as one of my father's fingers. If you are willing to help, I will give you the sheep and the money right now."

"That......"

"Don't listen to her nonsense. How could a little girl like her make such a decision?"

A woman suddenly shouted, her eyes gleaming, "Besides, besides, those things don't need to be shared with us by Er Yatou!"

What does this mean?

Sasha was stunned, while the men suddenly revealed strange expressions.

"Hey, we're all from the same village, don't push things too far."

The village elders suddenly erupted in anger: "Vernon hasn't been back for half a day, what are you all thinking about? What are you all thinking about!"

"..."

Sasha finally came to her senses and stared at everyone in disbelief.

"Uncles and elders, you've all watched Er Ya grow up."

"Aunties and madams, if any of your doors are broken or your roofs are leaking, just give me a call and my dad will always help!"

The girl screamed until she was hoarse, tears and snot streaming down her face.

Seeing this, everyone looked somewhat ashamed.

"Er Ya, it's cold outside, go back inside."

The elder sighed, "Don't say anymore, the villagers can't help you with this."

"Don't blame us. Everyone in the village came to help during the days your mother was gone."

"It's not that everyone is heartless, it's just that some favors we can help with, and some we can't!"

..........................................

Sasha returned home angrily and told her sister what had happened, but her sister didn't react much.
