They then learned that the disaster situation outside was even more severe than in Anping County.

At least in their county, although there were deaths, the number of deaths was not very high.

If you catch a cold, a doctor will come to your home and give you medicine.

The prices of rice and other winter supplies are not much different from before.

Even more extreme, there was the purchase of charcoal.

Although the price of charcoal is not high and the quantity is limited.

However, if you want to buy them, you still have a chance if you go to queue up early in the morning.

Contrary to what the traveling merchants said, many ordinary people outside had frozen to death, and no one had come to collect their bodies.

Furthermore, compared to the common people whose houses collapsed, who had no food, drink, or warmth, Anping County was simply a paradise on earth.

So, one by one, they stopped running.

They also tried their best to buy more rice, flour, and warm clothes, and stayed obediently at home.

When the government informed them how much charcoal they had, where it was stored, and that it couldn't be transported back, everyone volunteered to help with the transport.

In their view, those charcoal pieces were things that could save them from the cold.

They weren't helping the government; they were helping themselves.

With the help of these "kind-hearted people," all the charcoal that had been bought from Chijia'ao was finally transported back on the afternoon of the second day after the blizzard.

Although the process was extremely difficult, the result was good!

Just as Magistrate Fang breathed a sigh of relief, Qin Mu, who had been secretly protecting him these past few days, also learned about the news from Chijia'ao from Shen Kai.

"You said that Miss Chi was angry, so the old patriarch of the Chi clan led people to investigate."

Then I learned that many of them had sold all their charcoal.

What about the Chi family? I mean, the families of Chi Yu's brothers.

According to Shen Zhaochen, they were quite obedient and didn't sell too many.

The main purpose of this charcoal burning was to sell it to the people of Chijia'ao.

Consequently, Chi Qing's future in-laws also helped with charcoal production, earning some extra money on the side.

Upon hearing this, Qin Mu realized that Chi Yu and her brothers' families were all safe.

The other families in Chijia'ao might suffer a little, but the final outcome wouldn't be too bad, which put them at ease.

"Fortunately, Miss Chi Yu reacted quickly, otherwise many people in Chijia'ao would probably have frozen to death."

If word gets out, people will laugh at the Chi family for being so greedy for money!

“That makes sense, but Brother Mu, the snow is already up to your calves, are you still going to Chijia’ao?”

Qin Mu wanted to go, but he also valued his life.

With life, anything is possible. Without life, nothing you say will make a difference.

Therefore, he shook his head and said, "No, I'll set off immediately, even if it means I have to ride as fast as I can."

By the time I got there, the snow was so thick that I couldn't tell which path was leading up the mountain.

Moreover, he now not only has to protect Lord Fang, but also keep an eye on the common people for him.

The heavy snowfall came on strong. Not only did the temperature drop suddenly, but in no time, a thick layer of snow accumulated on the rooftops.

If we don't keep an eye on things and make sure everyone cleans up in a timely manner...

There's a good chance that many houses will collapse under the weight of the snow.

Once people are buried in the snow, it's so cold that it's difficult to dig them out.

As Miss Chiyu said, we may have to wait until spring and the snow melts before we can deal with these things.

But then, the earth dragon rose up again...

Thinking about all this, he couldn't help but feel a headache coming on.

We can only hope that those village chiefs and neighborhood leaders will manage the people under their jurisdiction according to the requirements of the government.

Otherwise, whoever has the problem, they can only hold that person accountable!
