"Sir, do you want charcoal at home?"

Standing outside the courtyard gate, Zaomen Kuizhi raised his head, his tired face full of expectation.

At this moment, the cold wind was blowing, and the rain mixed with rain and snow fell on Zaomen Kuizhi, making Zaomen Kuizhi Kui Zhi couldn't help but flinch.

Facing the other person's expectant eyes and looking at the woman's condition, Su Mu felt a slight pity in his heart. He glanced behind the other person and saw that it was an ox cart with a full load of people. Half the cart was full of charcoal. I don’t know how a woman could bring such an ox cart of charcoal to a small town.

"Well, have some."

Su Mu nodded.

Although there is still a lot of charcoal in the house, it's okay to store more. If it can't be used up, it's the same as saving it for next winter.

"Thank you...thank you."

When she heard that she wanted to buy charcoal, Kamado Kuie immediately thanked her happily, and then immediately turned around and prepared to carry the charcoal.

"Wait a moment."

Seeing the woman going to carry charcoal, Su Mu couldn't help but stop the other party.

Kamado Kuizhi turned around, with an obvious look of nervousness on his face, obviously thinking that the other party was regretting it and not buying it.

"Are you the only one carrying the charcoal?"

Su Mu looked at this woman with some confusion, and then looked around. There was no one helping. It is not easy for a woman to carry so much charcoal.

"It's just me. Please don't worry, sir. I can do it alone.……"

Kamado Aoi spoke immediately. The woman's hands in her sleeves were tightly grasped, looking very nervous, as if she was afraid that he would not buy charcoal because of the transportation.

"Forget it, let me help you move it."

Looking at the woman's plump but delicate body, Su Mu shook his head.

"How can this be done? How can I let you, sir?……"

Kamado Kuizhi spoke hurriedly.

But Su Mu ignored him and walked to the bullock cart on his own and began to carry the charcoal on it.

For Su Mu, carrying this charcoal is nothing, not to mention it is also a kind of exercise.

Kamado Kuizhi hurriedly tried to stop him, but Su Mu had already taken the charcoal off the bullock cart.

There was no other way, so Kamado Kuie had no choice but to carry it from the oxcart. Due to his weak strength, Kamado Kuie could only carry one bundle. Even if it was a bundle of charcoal, he was panting, and his full chest trembled as he walked. Yes, unlike Su Mu, who could easily carry three or four bundles at a time, as if nothing was wrong.

Su Mu easily carried most of the charcoal in the oxcart to the kitchen.

"I'm going to wash my hands. Madam, please go to the living room and wait. After I finish washing my hands, I will pay the bill to Madam."

Su Mu patted the dust on his hands.

"No...it's okay, don't worry."

Zamamen Kuizhi said softly.

………………

In the living room,

Kamito Kuizhi stood a little uneasily. Compared with the cold wind whistling outside, the room was very warm.

The house was fairly clean, but some items were piled randomly and seemed a bit messy.

After Su Mu finished cleaning, he also brought a basin of hot water

"Madam, please wash your hands and face too."

Su Mu put the wooden basin on the table, glanced at the woman, and said with a smile. At this moment, due to the transportation of charcoal, the woman's hands and face were stained with charcoal dust.

"No, sir."

Kamado Kuizhi waved her hands hurriedly. Just now, the guest helped carry the charcoal, and she felt very ashamed in her heart. At this moment, how could she trouble the other party again?

"Just wash it off."

Su Mu said, and then began to clean up the things in the house:"The house is a bit messy, which made Madam laugh."

Kamado Aoi didn't dare to answer. She lowered her head and looked at her dirty hands. After a moment of hesitation, she put her hands in the basin and started scrubbing them.

After washing away the charcoal black dust, she revealed a woman with a flushed face. She had a pretty face with sadness.

Her purple eyes exuded a smart temperament and gave people a very gentle feeling.

Su Mu discovered that this woman was much more beautiful than expected, and her appearance was vaguely reminiscent of an anime he had watched. The shadow of a girl.

Su Mu stared at the other person's face and then looked away. It would be rude to always stare at a woman.

He went to the guest room to withdraw some money.

"Madam, how much does this charcoal cost?"

"Sir, the total is one thousand two hundred. Sir, just pay one thousand."

Zaomen Kuizhi said in a low voice.

Su Mu took out one thousand two hundred and handed it to the woman's hand.

"Sir, one thousand will do."

Finding that Su Mu had paid one thousand two hundred, Zamen Kuizhi hurriedly withdrew two hundred of the money.

Seeing the two hundred returned in his hand, Su Mu unconsciously glanced at the woman. The other woman was obviously in a dilemma and needed money. , but even so, he still chose to return two hundred, which made him couldn't help but glance at the other party.

Kamado Aoi bent down, put her small hands close to her body, and then bowed to him at a ninety degree angle:"Thank you so much. Sir buy my charcoal.

Seeing the woman about to leave, Su Mu smiled and said,"It's getting cold on the road. Let's warm up by the fire first and drink a cup of hot water to warm up before leaving.""

"It’s already very troublesome sir...how could this be done?……"

Zaomen Kuizhi wanted to say something, but Su Mu had already picked up the teapot, poured a cup of hot water and handed it over.

Facing the hot water handed to him, Kamado Aoi took it in a hurry.

Seeing the other party taking the cup, Su Mu was also sitting on the chair next to him. Only then did he observe the other party carefully.

The woman was probably in her twenties and was wearing thick, patched clothes, but you could tell that the other person had slender legs, a delicate face, long eyelashes, and a bulging chest.

Obviously, very interesting

"Haven't you asked for your lady's name yet?"

Su Mu asked casually.

"My name is Kamado Kuizhi, sir, just call me Kuizhi."

Kamado Aoi lowered her head, her black hair completely covering the woman's face, and she held the hot water cup tightly with both hands.

"Kitchen door sunflower branch……"

Su Mu was stunned for a moment and muttered this word unconsciously, feeling very familiar.

If I remember correctly, Nezuko and Tanjiro's mother should be called Kamado Aoi.

Involuntarily, he looked at Kamado Aoi again, and found that the other person's face really resembled Nezuko's. Unlike Nezuko's green face, the woman in front of him looked more mature and charming.

"Mrs. Kui Zhi, why are you the only one selling charcoal?……"

Su Mu suppressed the emotions in his heart and asked again

"In the past, her husband Tanjuro went out to sell charcoal, but last year, her husband passed away, so Kui Zhi could only sell charcoal.……"

Kamado Kuie lowered her head and spoke in a low voice. The hot air from the hot water cup hit the woman's long and beautiful eyelashes, making the woman look very weak at this moment.

When Su Mu heard Kamado Aoi said that her husband was Tanjuro, the woman in front of him should be Nezuko's mother.

A widow who had just lost her husband.
