winter……

In the cold winter that makes people shiver...

The first snow of this year fell last night, and the new snow covered the whole land, and the sky and the earth were all white.

He Liu got up, put on a thick cotton coat, walked to the window and opened it.

"Crack——" the window opened, and He Liu sighed.This window was repaired in the early years, I don't know how many years.The windows in the county changed gradually one by one, such antique windows are very rare, and He Liu kept them because he thought they were beautiful.

The cold air from outside the window rushed in, He Liu shrank his neck and shivered.

The air outside is also fresh, and the cold is a bit unbearable.

He Liu thought for a while, but didn't close the window.

Snow was floating outside the window, and it was falling one after another, but it didn't float into the house.

Not far away from the small town came the crowing of cocks and the barking of dogs, and the sky was getting whiter.

He Liu exhaled foul breath, picked up the book on the table and read it with relish.

The sound of footsteps came from far to near, and the owner panted heavily and slammed on He Liu's door, shouting: "Master! Master!"

"Woke up!"

"Master! Something bad has happened!"

He Liu quickly walked to the door and opened it: "Tell me, what happened?"

"Uh..." The people outside the house didn't expect He Liu to come so soon. The situation was urgent, so he didn't stay for long: "Master, someone killed him!"

He Liu opened his eyes wide, and his pupils faintly narrowed: "Where is it?"

"In the backyard..." He Liu ran over when he heard 'backyard'.

When they arrived at the scene, the maids and servants at home gathered around and talked about it.

"Huh!" He Liu made a noise on purpose, and the servants turned around, seeing their young master standing behind, and hurriedly greeted him.

"Heh, are you so idle?" He Liu's low air pressure caused people to feel that the temperature of the air dropped a lot in an instant.

"Not idle, not idle." The servant girls immediately replied in unison.

"Those who have something to do should leave quickly, and those who have nothing to do will find something to do by themselves." The order went on, and everyone left.

In the middle of the courtyard lay a middle-aged man in a dark brown cotton-padded coat. His face was facing down, and his whole body was straight. The blood flowing from his mouth stained the cotton in the man's clothes red and penetrated the white snow. A splash of color in winter.

His father treated He Liu very harshly, so harsh that it was almost abnormal. Sometimes in winter, he would pull He Liu out of the bed and throw him into the snowdrift outside.

Although He Liu understood his father's behavior, he couldn't bear it.He knew that his father had been hit too hard by his mother's dystocia and passed away when giving birth to He Liu, so he vented his dissatisfaction on He Liu.But after all, he is the child of his parents, so nothing will happen to him, and He Liu has also trained himself from it.

After so many years, the relationship between father and son has gradually grown deeper.Before his father passed away, he was still in good health. The doctor came to check him up, but suddenly he was like this, which is really unaccustomed.

He Liu squatted down slowly, staring at his father, although there were tears in his eyes, you couldn't see it unless you looked carefully.

Since his father is gone, he will be the head of the He family from now on.

He will find out who the murderer is.must.
