Chapter 676

Late at night, a sudden heavy snow covered Yuzhou. It not only buried the caves of Qinglong mountain, but also sealed off the official roads to Qinglong mountain.

This makes it impossible for everyone to go out to collect firewood.

The dead trees all over the mountains were buried under the thick snow, but the wet wood could not be burned at all.

Without firewood, we can't afford to warm the Kang. In addition, we don't bring many clothes out. Some old people and children are likely to freeze to death.

For the first time, Li Changting decided to go to the stockade in Qinglong mountain. This wooden stockade is large and luxurious, so it can be used as firewood for emergency.

It's a pity, but at this time, even the food delivery motorcade is blocked on the road, and it's impossible for firewood to be transported. The only way is to save ourselves. No matter how beautiful the stockade is, it can't be worth the lives of the people.

This stockade was built from the time of the natural disaster. Later, situ Xiao stationed private soldiers here, and expanded the stockade for his subordinates. The firewood used to build the stockade had been dried and could be burned.

Li Changting wants to chop the stockade for firewood. No one has any objection. If Yuzhou City officials are here, they will feel sorry and struggling. But now all the people who live here are brought by Li Changting. They have no feelings for the stockade. If they chop, they will chop. It's worth it to keep warm.

Within a day, the soldiers at the bottom had counted out a list of the people in the border town. With the list, they could calculate the amount of firewood and food they expected to need.

After the heavy snow stopped, Li Changting and his soldiers shoveled snow around the stockade, cleared out an open space to put firewood, and came from door to door to collect firewood according to the number of people, ten jin per person.

Ten catties of firewood per person is only enough to burn a Kang. For those who are single, Li Changting arranges them to build a group of three or four people. For those who are related, it's better to live in a cave to save firewood for cooking.

The government has a register here. Each family only needs to send one or two people to fight against firewood. If there are old people or children in the family, they don't have to come out in the cold.

It can be said that it's snowy outside. The people are cold and the soldiers are cold. In order to improve efficiency, everyone quickly signs up and takes firewood to leave. Because there are soldiers patrolling along the way, no one dares to use any crooked mind to rob other people's things.

These two days, apart from distributing materials, Li Changting has sent people to appease everyone.

After all, when situ Xiao didn't occupy the border city, every family was rich in food. They even kept chickens, ducks, cattle and sheep, or dried hundreds of catties of bacon for a good new year.

However, these things can not be taken away, but also for nothing cheap to others, think about it let them angry to hematemesis.

Being driven out by jiuzhanquechao, the hard-earned food is cheaper than others. On the contrary, they have to suffer from hunger. When they think about food and clothing at home, they can't even eat a single leaf. The people in the border town hate situ Xiao to death.

It's not easy to take care of so many unfortunate people. It's hard to go from extravagance to frugality. Women complain that the caves are too dirty and smelly, and they also want some insect repellent herbs. The old people don't sleep warm enough at night. They are not satisfied with changing several caves back and forth. What's more, Li Changting also needs to worry about the fact that the babies just born can't get milk.

Some of Li Changting, who is too hypocritical, let the people at the bottom to adjust, appease and intimidate him. Within a few days, the generals at the bottom of the army used this skill perfectly.

But some of the real difficulties still need to be solved.

The milk in the space can't be taken out directly. Li Changting plans to go up the mountain to try his luck and see if he can find a ewe with a baby, although the probability of a ewe with a baby is almost zero in this season.

The soldiers at the bottom didn't agree that Li Changting would enter the mountain at such a time. If he got lost, it was not for fun. What could they do if something happened at that time.

Although the weather was extremely bad, some people volunteered. Whether they wanted to get the favor of Li Changting or sincerely wanted to help the people, they were brave enough to stand up.

Li Changting took out a map and drew a circle around Qinglong mountain: "I plan to walk around here, not beyond the warning line. There are people growing vegetables here, and maybe some animals will come to look for food. If I don't find any trace of animals, I won't risk my own life."

As soon as you listen to this range, you feel relieved. Even if they go out to look for people, they will have time to rescue.

Li Changting went with duanmuxiang. No one else could keep up with them, so they didn't bring their entourage. They agreed with the deputy general to come back at a time, and Li Changting set out.

In fact, they went a long way, mainly to see the terrain and the distribution of vegetation in the forest.

It's snowy everywhere. It's very easy to get lost without too eye-catching identification. Fortunately, Duanmu ring is the living map. It's right to follow him.

Along the way, although no animal traces were found, looking at the growth of trees, there should be a lot of firewood to beat under the snow, but the snow was too thick.

Towards noon, they hid in a hiding place and entered the space.

As soon as he entered the space, Li Changting took off his thick clothes and his boots were covered with snow. They were big and bulky.The temperature difference between inside and outside is too big. When I first enter the space, it's like walking into the greenhouse. However, after taking off my thick clothes for a while, I immediately feel comfortable and like a spring breeze.

Lunch is chicken soup dumplings, cold chicken and a few vegetables, can eat such a hot meal on a cold day is incomparable enjoyment.

Duanmu Xiang felt that he had been running all morning in the snow, probably to make the meal more delicious.

Xu Qing also made a dessert strawberry layer, with sweet and sour fruit tea is perfect.

However, after a short rest, Xu Qing and a Ying went to work in the field. Although it is impossible for Li Changting to bring any food to the victims, they can grow more food in the long three months of winter and donate more materials to the victims.

In the afternoon, Li Changting and duanmuxiang continued to walk on the unfinished snow road. They didn't enter the space until it was almost dark. At night, they helped to plant the land for most of the night.

At this time, they started their old business of planting potatoes, sweet potatoes and Chinese cabbage a few years ago. They can grow anything in the space. Radish and Chinese cabbage are indispensable in winter vegetables, while potatoes and sweet potatoes are staple food.

In order to grow more food, the four pulled out all the unripe bean seedlings in the field. Even the garden and fruit trees in front and behind the house were full of potatoes and sweet potatoes.

Plants in the space have a short growth cycle. If they are watered frequently every day, they can harvest at least twice before the end of winter.
