"Dad, Grandpa Wu, even if we stay here, we might still encounter the enemy."
"Uncle Yun, Grandpa Wu, Yiyi is right. The enemy will indeed change the location of their troops. This is not Yunzhou. It is not that safe."
Butcher Yun and Old Man Wu looked at each other and felt a chill in their hearts.
"Okay, after listening to your analysis, I've given up the idea of staying here." Old Man Wu said dejectedly.
"Brother Wu, even if I didn't leave any thoughts behind, now all I have left is the thought of trying my best to get on with my journey."
After Yun the Butcher finished speaking, he also sighed deeply.
"Dad, Grandpa Wu, these are the sweet potatoes and hawthorns I roasted. Come and have a try.
Brother Yun San said as he placed two roasted sweet potatoes and a few steaming hawthorns on the table.
Butcher Yun and Old Man Wu began to slowly eat the roasted sweet potatoes and roasted hawthorns.
Yun Yiyi and Xie Zirui also hurried back to eat roasted sweet potatoes and hawthorns.
After a while, after Yun the Butcher and Old Man Wu finished their meal, they washed their hands and made an appointment to go to the village chief's house together.
If it hadn't snowed, everyone would have been happy to continue their journey.
However, it was snowing now, and the snow was gradually getting heavier. I guess there were many people who wanted to stay, just like Old Man Wu did before.
The rule in Yunjia Village is to go to the village chief if you have any problems. Therefore, after Yun the Butcher and Old Man Wu had visited the village chief and the elders, they went home with peace of mind.
When Yun the butcher returned home, the children had already washed up and went to sleep in the carriage.
Now only Zhang is still waiting for him to come home.
"Wife, don't worry about me, go to bed. I'll go get some water for washing your feet."
Zhang had just finished washing her feet. She wiped them clean and put on her socks. "Okay, boss, I'm going to bed first."
"Go ahead, it's getting late."
Zhang yawned and went to sleep.
Butcher Yun first added grass to the mule and donkey, and added warm water to the water basin.
Then, he filled half a basin with hot water to soak his feet. He stopped soaking his feet when his whole body was sweating and the water in the basin was no longer hot.
Only after pouring the dirty water into the corner outside and adding dry firewood into the stove did he go to bed with peace of mind.
The fire in the stove was still burning, and Yun the butcher added firewood twice.
The temperature in the room was getting higher and higher. The children had originally been sleeping under their blankets, but when it got too hot, they all kicked off the blankets.
The snow outside was getting heavier and heavier, and the ground was gradually covered with snow. The trees and roofs were also covered with snow.
Even before dawn, it was still white outside.
The village chief went to bed very late last night. He had something on his mind and couldn't sleep well.
He woke up before dawn.
He put on his clothes and went outside. He found that the snow was still falling heavily. There was also a thick layer of snow on the ground.
He happily scooped up a handful of snow and laughed. However, as he laughed, the village chief began to cry.
He remembered that there was no snow last winter. If it had snowed last winter, they probably wouldn't have had to flee the famine.
After a while, he wiped his tears and calmed down, only to realize that it would still be some time before dawn.
So he turned and went into the house. The elders had just woken up.
A few people came out again to look at the snow, and they were all very happy after seeing it.
However, the snow kept falling, and several people were a little undecided whether to continue their journey after dawn or stay here for a day.
Finally, after their discussion, they decided to rest in the land temple for a day before continuing their journey.
The village chief and his men also took into consideration the thick snow on the road. It was easier for those driving carts, but it was much harder for those pushing carts.
Why don’t we take a day off and wait for the snow to stop before continuing our journey together.
Of course, this also has something to do with the first snow.
The first snow usually cannot be kept and will melt away quickly.
The village chief couldn't sit still. He walked around the land temple and told the Yunjia villagers who woke up first that they would not travel today. Then he went back to take a nap.
At dawn, the villagers did not hear the village chief's loud voice for the first time, and many people got up late.
"Strange, why didn't I hear the village chief's loud voice tonight?"
"I just woke up too. Maybe the village chief himself got up late."
"How is that possible? As far as I can remember, the village chief has never gotten up late."
"Alright, alright, stop guessing. The village chief came before daybreak and said he'd discussed it with the elders. Since the snow's been falling too heavily, we're going to rest at the Earth God Temple for the day."
"We'll set off tomorrow. However, the village chief also told everyone to hurry up and collect firewood while the snow is still falling and the firewood outside is not soaked."
"Even if you have enough firewood, you should prepare more for use at night."
"I see. The village chief is very understanding. Don't mention it. Even though I'm only staying for one night, I don't want to leave."
"Who says it isn't? In weather like this, sitting by the fire and chatting, it's such a beautiful day."
"By the way, after dinner, let's go outside and collect some firewood."
"Go, go after dinner. Pick up more and light the fire day and night so the children can run around in the house."
"We all live in the same room, so count me in and I'll go too."
"I'll go too. There's strength in numbers. Let's pick up more and have more time to roast a fire."
"Okay. After dinner, I'll call you one by one. That's fine, right?"
"no problem."
As soon as he finished speaking, several men laughed.
I finally have a day off while it's snowing, and I must take a good rest.
The same conversation is repeated in different rooms.
Soon, the women in the house started cooking.
Many children in the village secretly ran outside to play in the snow when their families were not paying attention.
The children were having a lot of fun making snowmen and throwing snowballs together, and their laughter could be heard from far away.
The women who were cooking in the house heard the children's laughter and they also started laughing.
Before in Shilin Town, the children helped collect firewood and dig wild vegetables, and were as busy as the adults.
Afterwards, we hurried on our way like the adults. It had been a long time since I heard the children's laughter.
Li Huailiang and his colleagues, who lived in the land temple with the people of Yunjia Village, discovered through observation that the people of Yunjia Village were going to rest in the land temple for a day today.
So, Li Huailiang also notified the soldiers he brought with him to take a day off today.
As soon as he stopped talking, many soldiers who were about to get up lay down again.
"Aren't you going to get up and eat? You actually lie down again." Li Huailiang scolded with a smile.
"General, I can skip breakfast as long as you don't let me get up."
"General, I can skip breakfast."
"So can I, General."
