"Yes. You see, everyone is working very hard to make a living."

Being alive is good too.

As Feng Ran spoke, she touched the face of Gu Zhou's daughter, who was warming herself by the fire nearby.

The little one is fair-skinned and tender, and is getting cuter and cuter.

"You really like children?"

“…No, I don’t like it.” Feng Ran quickly withdrew her hand, while the little guy next to her was happily reaching out his paw at her.

She wants you to hug her.

"...Hold me, hold me."

"Um."

Feng Nangui picked up the child with complete inexperience.

The child, dressed like a ball, was quite heavy to handle.

"Hahaha... You're so funny, why are you holding the baby by pinching him with your hands?"

Amidst Feng Ran's teasing, Feng Nangui changed his holding position again.

The girls next to them all laughed.

The next morning, the heavy snow was still falling. The outside world was covered in a blanket of white.

Moreover, in many places, the snow had piled up so thick that it was impossible to distinguish between roads and ditches. Only the tops of some trees were still peeking out of the snow.

Judging from the snow accumulation, it's estimated to be at least one story high.

The temperature also began to soar as the snow began to fall.

It snowed for three days, and the temperature dropped to below minus fifty degrees Celsius.

People are afraid to go out unless they have to.

Moreover, to save firewood, the Gu family squeezed into one room, while the Wang family, both men and women, squeezed into two rooms. During the day, they would all gather in Feng Ran's kitchen to work or chat by the fire.

We skinned over a hundred rabbits beforehand, and everyone has already boiled water and cleaned them.

They were hung in the cave to dry in the shade.

Everyone was warming themselves by the fire when Wang San San found Feng Ran, carrying two bags of food.

"What's wrong?" Feng Ran asked, puzzled.

“Everyone’s been unable to work these past few days. We can’t just eat your food for free. Let’s bring out all the food we found before. You can distribute it.”

Feng Ran glanced at the contents of the bag: frozen wild yams and chestnuts.

"Okay. There are so many chestnuts. Let Nana and the others make some roasted chestnuts together. Roast them all."

Yam is used to make chicken soup.

There's also braised chicken with chestnuts.

Although we can't work these past few days, we've been eating and drinking well.

Feng Ran looked at the food, which was almost frozen solid. She could only try to get everyone to finish it as quickly as possible.

Besides, these are all people's kind gestures. If I refuse, they might not feel at ease staying here.

There are four stoves in the kitchen.

Roasted chestnuts, chicken soup.

Everyone had chicken soup noodles for lunch.

Jixiang, on the other hand, absolutely adores roasted chestnuts.

However, everyone loves to eat it.

A whole sack of chestnuts was roasted. Everyone got a little, and the remaining small plate was given to Fengran. Fengran put it in her spatial storage, intending to eat it slowly with Jixiang.

Another day passed, and the snow continued.

The base was out of firewood. However, there was some in the Wind-Dyed Space, so they placed a lot of it against the outer wall. The next day, Gu Zhou chopped all the firewood like it was vegetables.

This makes it convenient for everyone to burn.

At the same time, the tops of many trees outside are getting smaller and smaller.

The snow outside the wall piled up higher and higher.

And so, it snowed continuously for half a month, with heavy blizzards every day.

A lot of snow slid down from the mountaintop, some of it even falling into the yard. Fortunately, it wasn't much, and everyone dealt with it in time.

Moreover, Feng Ran noticed that Gu Zhou looked much younger than before. He used to look older than his wife, but now, they looked about the same age.

I don't know if it's because I've become stronger.

Moreover, he has a big appetite. Sometimes Feng Ran noticed that even though he had eaten two or three bowls and still wanted to eat more, he would put down his bowl and then drink water frequently.

Feng Ran didn't say anything about it. They're both free right now.

She can't let people's expectations get too high, making them think she's an easy person to talk to.

After the snow stopped, the temperature soared to minus sixty degrees Celsius.

It was so cold!

I'm too afraid to pee even when I go out.

Because of the low temperature, the snow couldn't melt, so the mountains were covered in snow. It was impossible to distinguish between the mountains and the valleys.

Feng Ran had everyone light a fire in the yard and also built a large shed. From now on, everyone would cook, gather, and chat in the shed.

Since no crops are needed, the greenhouse is surrounded by piles of reeds. Three pits have also been dug inside specifically for cooking.

Everyone spends their days in the greenhouse. Aunt Wang even specially cultivated a small plot of land at the back of the greenhouse. The humidity in the greenhouse is high every day, so the bok choy seeds she sowed grew very quickly.

Apart from Feng Ran and a few others, the Wang and Gu families all moved directly into the greenhouse.

It's warmer to light a fire together.

Seeing that the firewood under the eaves was dwindling, Gu Zhou and Wang San San decided to head towards the mountains from behind the house.

The moment they stepped on it, they were gone.

He fell into the snow, his head completely obliterated. It was only thanks to Gu Zhou throwing a rope that he was pulled up.

"Pfft—" I almost suffocated. What do we do now? There's no way out.

“…I’ll throw the rope, lasso the top of that tree, and pull it over. Give me the chainsaw.”

"good."

Gu Zhou hung the chainsaw on his body and tried to toss it, but missed. He had to try several more times before he succeeded.

After pulling on the rope, the person swung across on their own.

Wang San San stood anxiously on the wall. He could only wait for the other person to return first.

Gu Zhou swam to the bottom of the snow and used a chainsaw to cut down a large tree. Then, he groped around, carrying the tree and sweeping away the snow, gradually revealing the trees beside it.

They chose a direction that was to the side anyway, so cutting down more trees wouldn't hurt.

Gu Zhou cut down seven or eight trees in succession.
