After a while, Huo Yang's proud and striding figure disappeared from Du Jiang's sight. Looking back at the mountain road, Du Jiang stomped his frozen feet and turned to walk towards the educated youth point.

As soon as she entered the door, Qian Meili, who was standing on tiptoe, spotted her. Du Jiang subconsciously lifted the backpack up, feeling a little silly. "Sister Qian."

"Hey, Du Jiang, what did you get?" Perhaps because she didn't see clearly the first time, Qian Meili stood on tiptoe again. This time she could see clearly, but when she saw the cloth bag in the backpack and the sharp arrow, her eyes widened. "What did you do up the mountain?"

Looking at Qian Meili's eyes that were almost bulging out, Du Jiang didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Sister Qian, don't get the wrong idea. I asked Brother Huo to do this for me. You know I have to prepare something when I go up the mountain alone."

After Du Jiang's explanation, Qian Meili suddenly understood, "This bow and arrow is beautifully made, but Du Jiang, can you shoot arrows?"

Du Jiang shook his head. "Not yet. I'll practice in the house. I'll learn it one day."

Qian Meili wanted to say something, but Du Jiang didn't give her a chance to ask. "Well, I've been freezing all day. I'll go back first. Sister Qian, we'll talk later."

After saying that, Du Jiang quickly ran back to the house. When the fire in the stove was reignited, Du Jiang finally calmed down. Sitting in front of the stove, Du Jiang played with this small and exquisite bow and arrow. He liked it no matter how he looked at it, especially the arrow, which was polished to an extremely sharp edge. Du Jiang took a piece of sweet potato and tried it. He had to say that Huo Yang was well prepared. Looking up and around, Du Jiang decided to find some straw and wild vines to make a target so that he could practice in the house.

Just as Du Jiang was rummaging through the firewood pile, Yu Chunxiao called out from outside the door, "Everyone, go help! The roof of the cowshed is falling down."

Hearing the sound, Du Jiang no longer cared about studying the bow and arrow. He put down his things and ran out. The others also ran into the yard. They looked at each other. Yu Chunxiao's shouting outside the gate was getting closer and closer. Xu Zhizhou immediately waved his hand and said, "Let's go to the cowshed."

With a whoosh, a group of people opened the door and ran towards the cowshed.

Yu Chunxiao followed closely behind, giving a disjointed overview of the situation.

In short, due to years of disrepair and the snowfall in the past few days, the damaged shed could no longer hold the cart. Fortunately, the only cow in the village was protected by two people in the cowshed and ran out unharmed. However, although the cow was fine, the lame man was a step slower, and his lame leg was crushed underneath, and it was probably in danger.

When Du Jiang and the others arrived, the lame man's leg bones were covered in blood. The village chief was leading Uncle Du and Li Hongjun to help carry the man to an open area.

Seeing the man shivering, Du Jiang shuddered subconsciously. The once dilapidated cowshed was now in complete ruins. The old cow was bleating under the tree, taking advantage of the absurdity of everything around it. It was a leg, but it was no match for a cow.

"Village chief, can you send him to the hospital?" Huo Ze surrounded Hu Zi with a sad face and a pleading look on his face.

Village Chief Du looked embarrassed. "I'm sorry, I've already asked someone to notify the village doctor. Let's see what she says."

Uncle Du: "Why don't we take him to the hospital? His leg is already lame, and it would be even more troublesome if it breaks after being pressed."

"Yes, village chief, please, Hu Zi's leg is not in good condition. It will be even more troublesome if it is broken. I will find a way to use the money. I will find a way to borrow money and get rid of you," Huo Ze said with a pleading look on his face. If Hu Zi had not pushed him, he would be the one lying here now. Thinking of Hu Zi's care for him along the way, Huo Ze had to try it anyway.

Hu Zi on the ground had fainted from the cold and blood loss, and was unconscious. Du Jiang, who was outside the crowd, watched the man occasionally react as he was pushed, and hurried forward to Xu Zhizhou and whispered, "Brother Xu, he's very cold, keep warm first."

"Keep warm, yes, keep warm first." Du Jiang's words reminded Xu Zhizhou and others. After all, it was a human life. The young ones who could run fast immediately ran home. After a while, they managed to cover Hu Zi with two thin quilts by scraping together some materials, and Old Mrs. Huo finally arrived.

At first glance, Mrs. Huo's face darkened. "Village Chief, hurry up and send me to the hospital. I just have a simple fever and a cold. My leg bones are exposed. I think I need an X-ray."

"What, take a film?" Village chief Du was startled. He looked at Hu Zi who had fainted on the ground, then at Old Lady Huo's face as dark as ink. He cursed softly and quickly asked people to load the ox cart and go to the town.

Huo Ze wanted to catch up, but Village Chief Du grabbed him and handed him to Uncle Du. "Uncle, I'll leave Huo Ze to you. Arrange him to go to the pig house first."

After saying that, he immediately jumped onto the ox cart. With the sound of the driver's whip, the ox cart drove towards the town quickly.

The people at the educated youth center who were called over by Yu Chunxiao to help looked at the ruined cowshed, and then looked at Huo Ze, who was dressed in rags like a beggar, and they all fell silent.

Finally, it was Uncle Du who broke the silence. "That Xu Zhizhou, take Old Lady Huo back. The road is slippery, so hold on." He turned around and grabbed Huo Ze's pigsty and walked away, cursing as he went, "What bad luck! This cowshed was fine a few years ago, how come it collapsed as soon as you moved in? Really? We have to build another cowshed. I wonder if the village budget is big enough."

Du Jiang and the others supported Old Lady Huo and walked slowly behind the two of them. Du Jiang looked back at the cowshed from time to time. The ground was covered with mud and it looked nothing like it used to be.

"Sister Jiang," Yu Chunxiao approached Du Jiang without knowing when, and whispered softly, "Sister Jiang, do you think our educated youth camp will collapse?"

Du Jiang didn't know how to answer this question, so he could only shake his head to appease the other party's uneasy heart, "Probably not. I heard that our educated youth site was built together with Uncle He Du's family. No, as for this cowshed, maybe it's been there for too long."

"Ah, Miss Jiang is right. This cowshed is quite old. These two people have moved in without any repairs. It will collapse if it snows heavily." Uncle Du was still holding Huo Ze tightly. Seeing his vigilant look, Du Jiang felt a little tired, but she didn't know what to say. She could only look away and not look at the stumbling figure being pulled by Uncle Du.

When they passed by the Huo family, accompanying Old Mrs. Huo, everyone stopped.

Xu Zhizhou: "Grandma Huo, it's cold, you should go back quickly."

"Well, you guys should go back too. Drink some ginger water to get rid of the cold." Old Mrs. Huo smiled and waved to everyone, then walked into her own yard.

Looking at the closed gate in front of him, Xu Zhizhou led Du Jiang and the others forward tiredly. When passing by the village chief's house, Uncle Du stopped and looked at the pig house opposite.
