She said while holding her hands behind her back, smiling and looking very cute, which made Brother Xu laugh. He shook his head helplessly, "You, do you want to see if this girl Yan'er from Zuixianglou is Sun Yan'er?"

"yes."

She didn't deny it, after all, there was nothing to deny. She just wanted to know if Sun Yan'er had really gone astray.

"It's her."

Brother Xu sighed and looked at Zuixianglou's eyes full of pity, "This Sun Yan'er, she has taken this step by herself."

"Brother Xu, do you feel distressed?" Qin Lu looked at the man in front of her jokingly.

As soon as this said, Brother Xu rolled his eyes to her, "It seems that you are not busy lately, why do you still have the leisure to tease me?"

"Brother Xu, I just want to know if Sun Yan'er has really fallen to this point. Actually, Tieniu and I have discussed it. If she really repents, we are..."

"Don't take action, some people are not worth helping." Brother Xu interrupted Qin Lu's words, then patted her shoulder lightly, "It's cold outside, hurry up and go back."

"good."

After saying hello to Brother Xu, Qin Lu hurried back.

When she returned to the shop, she carefully calculated the days of the past. It was almost time for Qin Tieniu to come back. She came to the charcoal shop to find her father, "Dad..."

Qin Lu called Qin Erzhuang a few times, but she didn't see her father. She was a little worried and was about to go out to look for her, but she saw Zhang Yong.

"Zhang Yong, where is my father?"

When Zhang Yong heard Qin Lu's words, he didn't say anything and just pointed at the back warehouse.

Seeing Zhang Yong's actions, she hurried to the warehouse and saw her father cleaning up the charcoal. She hurried over and followed her.

Qin Erzhuang, who was busy, saw someone coming. He raised his eyes and saw that it was Qin Lu shook her head with distress, and took her little hand to the side, "It's okay, dad, why are you here? What's wrong?"

"It's okay, Dad, I just calculated that the time is over. I thought that if you finish your work, I'll pick up Tie Niu. I'm a little worried."

"As long, I'll go after all."

Qin Erzhuang smiled honestly, tidied up Qin Lu's messy hair on his forehead, and continued to tidy up the charcoal fire.

He was a person who worked more quickly and quickly got it done. He wanted to tell Qin Lu that he would go out of the city again, but when he came to the hot pot restaurant, he saw her busy, so he left by himself.

When Qin Lu finished her work and went to the charcoal shop, she no longer saw Qin Erzhuang. She guessed that he had already gone to pick up Qin Tieniu, thinking that she would make something delicious tonight to reward them.

However, when she finished her work, she sent off all the diners and prepared the barbecue, but she was not here to see them back.

She waited around and felt something was wrong, so she hurried to the county government office.

The closed door of the county government seemed to fall asleep. After thinking about it, she went over and knocked on the door. The guards who were watching the night were very impatient, "What are you doing? Will you let people sleep in the middle of the night?"

The yamen runner swearing and opened the door. With a creaking sound, the door was opened, and he saw Qin Lu's anxious eyes, and he frowned, "Miss Qin, how did you come here in the middle of the night?"

"Have Tieniu and Brother Li not come back yet?"

"No..." The yamen runner scratched his head helplessly, "Yes, it's time to come back, why haven't you come back yet?"

"No news, right?"

"yes."

The yamen runner also looked helpless, and Qin Lu didn't say anything else, smiled slightly and turned around and left.

When she returned to the shop, Qin Lu couldn't sleep anymore and had a nightmare. In the dream, something happened to Qin Tieniu. She woke up and found that it was dawn. A hurried knock on the door outside the door came, and she quickly got up and opened the door.

As soon as the door opened, a cold wind blew in. She shook her body and saw her daddy with a cold air, "Dad, why are you so early? Where are the iron cows?"

She quickly pulled Qin Erzhuang into the house and lit the charcoal fire. As the house heated up, her father's face did not turn so white. He angrily said to his palms, "Daughter, I didn't find the iron cow. Isn't the heavy snow closed the road? They didn't specify that road, but we don't know the road we took."

"Sad, Dad, you have a good rest first. There should be nothing wrong with Tienniu." Qin Lu forced a smile, not wanting Qin Erzhuang to worry, so he comforted her father. She went to prepare breakfast again before going to the shop to work.

But the hung heart did not fall, and I kept looking out of the shop. From day to night, I didn't see Qin Tieniu's figure for a long time. Then she stopped thinking about it. She recalled what Qin Tieniu said to her, "Wife, I may have a longer time this time. After all, the road with heavy snow is not easy to walk. Don't worry, I won't let something happen to myself."

"good."

She vaguely remembered that her answer was good at that time, why are you starting to worry again now?

Thinking of this, she had no choice but to shake her head, took a deep breath, adjusted her mindset and continued to take care of the diners.

A small road outside the town.

The weather was very good today, but it started to snow in the afternoon. Although the snow was not heavy, the wind blew on the face, and it was like a knife when the wind blew.

At this time, the group was escorting the supplies for several occasions, and the leader was a pretty boy.

"Li Xu, tell me to go and hurry up. It's snowing. If I don't walk out of this section of the road, I might have to spend the night here..." The boy reminded the people around me.

"Yes, Lord Qin."

After listening to Qin Tieniu's orders, Li Xu quickly passed the message back.

Everyone rushed to take action along the way, braved the wind and snow.

At the fork in the road ahead, Qin Tieniu looked at the heavy snow, his heart pounding. He raised his hand to stop the team from moving forward, "Stay on the spot."

"Sir, what's wrong?" Li Xu noticed something was wrong with Qin Tieniu and hurried forward to ask.

"The visibility ahead is too low. You take your brothers here to wait, and I will take people to see."

"Yes, sir."

Li Xu still believed Qin Tieniu's intuition. Seeing him taking a few yamen runners to explore the way, he was so nervous that he was still in the same place.

After a while, Li Xu felt that he was about to freeze. He stamped his feet on the spot and looked at the yamen runners behind him, "You guys are watching, I'll go and take a look."

"Brother Li, what happened? Lord Qin has been here for a long time."

"Okay, don't think about it, I'll go and have a look." Li Xu didn't care about the yamen runners, and waved his hand and went to find Qin Tieniu directly.

This road itself is not the path they are familiar with, so naturally we have to be more careful now.

Li Xu walked while investigating, but after walking for a quarter of an hour, he couldn't find Qin Tieniu. He was anxious and shouted at the top of his throat: "Sir, sir, where are you..."

"Brother Li, is Brother Li you? This, sir, fell down." The yamen runner heard Li Xu's voice and quickly greeted him.
