Regardless of gender, they sat in the shop, chatting or listening intently to the sound of reading aloud coming from the main room.

Anyway, the general store is especially lively around 1-3 PM.

The person speaking also subconsciously lowers their voice to try not to disturb others.

Huang Dani has recently taken a particular interest in helping Chi Yu guard the shop.

Sitting here, watching the villagers rushing over, and hearing the sounds of reading aloud, filled her heart with immense satisfaction.

In previous years, although it wasn't this cold in winter, everyone in Chijia'ao would try to stay at home and rarely go out.

However, even though the weather this winter is dozens of times worse than in the past, the hope brought back by Chi Yu and Li makes everyone want to go out for a walk.

This is an unprecedented phenomenon, not even when Chi Yu was a girl!

As time went by, after the four sentences were taught well today, the sound of everyone reading aloud ended, and the sound of fish telling fables came from the main room.

Today's story is about the frog in the well, who had a limited view of the sky.

Just as everyone inside and outside the main room was listening intently, urgent shouts came from outside.

"Chieftain, Chieftain, something terrible has happened!"

The sound stood out starkly in the silence.

Upon hearing this, Chi Yu lost patience with the others and simply said, "If you don't believe me, jump out of the well and take a look."

After saying that, she reached out and hugged Zhuangzhuang back, and said to Chi Dongyi, "Uncle Chief, they're calling you from outside. Go out and see what's going on."

Huang Dani, who was at the shop, came out first.

Seeing Tie Niu slipping and falling with every step, looking disheveled, he hurriedly asked:

"Tie Niu, what's wrong? Why are you back? Where is everyone else?"

Tie Niu is only fourteen years old this year. He was cheated when he was learning a trade, and his family lost a lot of money.

In order to earn more money to repay his clan, his father had previously gone down the mountain with Chi Ye and the others.

My eldest brother, Chi Datian, works at Tanshan, making charcoal.

His mother, Lin, also went down the mountain with Liu Qingshan.

He wasn't originally supposed to go hunting wild boar in the mountains this time because of his young age.

However, considering his family's situation and the fact that he was a hard worker, the clan made an exception and allowed him to go with them.

Therefore, Huang Dani, who knew he had gone into the mountains, asked this question.

"Aunt Huang, something's happened! Quickly find the clan chief to call for help to go into the mountains to rescue them."

Upon hearing this as soon as Chi Dong came out, his legs went weak and he almost fell to the ground.

There were more than twenty people who went into the mountains this time, but only Tie Niu has returned with news. Could it be that something happened to the others?

Thinking about this made his vision go black and his ears ring.

Worried, Chi Yu held Zhuangzhuang in one arm and tightly gripped Chi Dongyi's arm with the other.

Seeing him like this, he looked at the young men who were coming out of the main room one after another.

Just as she was about to make arrangements, Chi Dongyi, who had recovered, began to assign people with a stern face.

"Mancang, this time you will lead everyone to go into the mountains with Tie Niu to rescue people."

Before setting off, remember to dress properly and bring your own weapons and rations.

If you encounter a large, ferocious beast, remember to prioritize safety and avoid a direct confrontation.

Your primary purpose in going there is to save lives.

If a family doesn't have any dry food, they can buy it from the general store; the clan will cover the cost.

Chiyu Shop only sells pastries, and not many people buy them.

Upon hearing this, she asked Huang Dani to bring out all the pastries, and then said:

"This is a special case, so I won't sell these pastries, but I can offer them to everyone for free."

As she spoke, she remembered that she had her own space, while her older brother was still inside.

As a lucky star in the eyes of everyone in the clan, she will probably be asked to go this time.

Rather than doing that, she should just take the initiative to speak up.
