Chapter 113： The protector has fallen!

Chapter 113 The protector has fallen!

In the end, everyone could not come up with a solution and could only continue on their way.

I don’t know if it’s because of the cold weather, but there seem to be suddenly fewer wild animals in the forest, and insects and snakes are no longer afraid, and have long since disappeared.

In the team, people old and young all had some guesses and were worried, and their feet accelerated even faster.

But a dozen mountains cannot be climbed over by speeding up in one or two days.

After walking for another three days, the second snow fell.

This time it has been raining for half a day, and the snowflakes have not melted yet. When I step on them, they are almost covering the top of my feet.

Everyone took out their cotton-padded clothes, and those who didn’t have cotton-padded clothes wrapped themselves in two more layers of single clothes.

The Li family was the first to prepare, of course, cotton-padded clothes for everyone, including Uncle Zhao.

Only Doctor Zhang was wearing a single suit when he was "tied" by Ye Shan.

Fortunately, the Li family was kind enough to prepare new coats and trousers for Uncle Zhao early.

Uncle Zhao wore the old ones, so he gave the new ones to Doctor Zhang.

He was not polite, dressed warmly, and urged Zhao Yuru to sew a hat for him.

Uncle Zhao had nothing to do for a few days and tanned a few wolf skins, but the time was short and the smell was very strong.

Zhang Shenyi didn't mind it either. He kept it on his head and wouldn't take it off day and night.

Because it is too cold to sleep at night, and the most heard thing in the camp recently is sneezing.

It was another night, extremely cold after the snow.

The elderly and children were hiding in the shacks, and the men were talking around the campfire. It wasn’t that they didn’t want to sleep, but they were too cold to sleep.

The village chief and Uncle Zhao gathered together to talk, "Look at this, we can't go out before the heavy snow closes the mountain. We should make preparations in advance and quickly find a place to stay for the winter. Otherwise, the elderly and children will not be able to bear it and will get sick. It’s too late.”

Everyone nodded, "It's really too cold, let alone the elderly and children. We won't be able to bear it for another two days."

Li Laoer said, "Uncle, we can find a place to stay for the winter. But first we need to find a cave that is sheltered from the wind and warm, and one or two are not enough, so it is not easy to find such a suitable place. The second thing is the rations for the winter. Hurry up and collect all the food you can eat. The third thing is to stock up on medicinal materials in case everyone has a headache or fever in the winter."

“The second one is right, these are the three major things at hand. Let’s discuss it and we must split up and settle down as soon as possible before the third snowfall.”

The village chief knocked on his pipe and pot, and said, "Liu Biaotou, you have walked through this mountain, can I leave it to you to find a place to live?"

"Okay," Liu Biaotou agreed, "I vaguely remember that there is a similar place two mountains away, but I can't tell for sure. Give me a brother, add Liu Yang and Jiayi, and I'll be there at dawn Let’s go!”

"Okay, you can pick any man you want, mark the road, and we will follow them to find you." The village chief waved his hand, and it was settled.

Of course, Zhang Shenyi took half of the sons to Zhang Luo.

It became the job of the whole village to pick all the edible mountain products and prepare winter rations.

It’s only September now, and we won’t be able to leave the mountain until at least March next year.

There are nearly a hundred people, and there is still one month's worth of food rations left.

In other words, they have to find mountain products that can feed the whole village for five months in this endless mountain forest.

This is simply a foolish dream, but we must do it even if we can’t do it.

No one wants the elderly and children to go hungry!

This journey has been extremely difficult and dangerous, and it is not easy to get here.

There is no way we can fall short!

The women left the cooking chores to the old men, and would rush into the woods with their baskets on their backs whenever they needed to rest.

At this time, we are no longer afraid of insects, snakes, black bears or wild wolves.

Compared with starving to death, these things no longer scare them.

Jiayin had been waiting for this moment for a long time. She lay obediently in her grandma's arms, leading her mother and aunt out of the group little by little, and then frantically moved things out of the space.

Apples, pears, piles of chestnuts, dates, rabbits that committed suicide, and nests of eggs.

Everyone is frantically picking mountain products, walnuts, chestnuts, fungus, frozen mushrooms, all kinds of things.

From time to time, some people hunted pheasants, rabbits, and even roe deer.

So, although the things that the Li family’s mother-in-law and daughter-in-law brought back were novel, they were not too eye-catching. Even if it is eye-catching, no one has time to think too much about it.

When you are struggling to survive, anything that can fill your stomach is a good thing, no matter where it comes from.

It’s better if it falls from the sky, proving that God didn’t want them to starve to death!

Just like that, walking and stopping, the villagers were so busy that their eyes turned red.

What the women picked back was enough to load four large sledges.

The men were not idle either, and three sledges were filled with prey.

Especially Li Laosi, who carried back a lone male wild boar.

Although these things are still not enough to survive the winter, they also give everyone great confidence.

Like this, after walking for another three days, the weather got even colder, and there was a wind and snow at night.

Everyone huddled together to protect the elderly and children from the wind and snow, and they also burned many bonfires.

But after one night, more than 20 people were still infected with the cold.

Five little children, five old people, and the rest are young and strong.

Everyone in the Li family is fine except Mrs. Li, who has some nasal congestion.

Their coats and trousers were already thick, so Jiayin secretly took out an old quilt at night and thickened the bedding.

This was thrown away when she left home, and she packed it up.

When I took it out at this time, no one paid much attention.

Orange Mrs. Li, Tao Hongying and Zhao Yuru blocked Jia An Jiaxi in the middle, while Jia An Jiaxi hugged her sister tightly.

The two brothers Li Lao and the Jiaren family gathered around the outermost area to celebrate.

The Li family is like an onion, layer by layer protecting good news in the middle.

But she couldn't sleep well, her heart was burning, and she was anxious about how to get the food out of the space.

How to keep your family warm and how to survive this winter safely?

As a result, before she could figure out a solution, something happened again.

Zhang Shenyi led a group of young men to collect herbs and boil them. Perhaps they were caught by the wind and were also infected by the wind and cold.

He relied on himself as a doctor and felt that it was not serious, so he just drank a bowl of medicinal soup to prevent colds.

But when night fell, he had a severe fever.

He was sixty years old and was tied to a horse by Ye Shan and jolted all the way to Li's house. After staying there for only a few days, he fled.

In the deep mountains and old forests, even if the Li family takes care of her, she cannot eat well or sleep well.

It is expected that the old man's body cannot bear it.

But at this time, he was the protector of everyone. He suddenly fell and everyone panicked.

Li Laosi and his men cut down trees all night and built a small one next to the Li family's shack. I laid out a bedding for the old man alone and built a small brazier for warmth.

This way the Li family will not be infected and it will be easier to take care of.

Tao Hongying and Zhao Yuru fetched water and applied it to the old man's forehead. Seeing that it was useless, they did not care about etiquette, so they took off the old man's cotton-padded jacket and wiped his chest and back.

The old man also drank the antipyretic soup he had prepared for the villagers.

But the old man's fever kept getting worse and worse, and in the middle of the night, he had already started talking nonsense.

“Look where you are going, I must find out who you are?”

“Tell me, what magic medicine was it that cured Ye Xiaozi?”

“There is nothing in the world that can heal itself without medicine!”

Jiayin was originally thinking about the old man and secretly came to the small shack to take a look, but then she heard this when she entered the door.

Her feet went weak and she almost fell on the old man.

It turns out that this old man has been trying to catch her pigtails!
