When Yun Yiyi and the others woke up, the land temple was already very lively.
The snow outside stopped, and many people, led by the village chief, cleared the snow inside the land temple.
Many children went to the yard to play and fight.
The first thing Yun Yiyi did when she woke up was to open the curtain and look outside. When she saw that the snow had stopped, she couldn't stay in the house anymore.
"Yiyi, wash your hands and eat first, and then go out to play later." Zhang hurriedly called Yun Yiyi.
"Okay, Mom. But I want to go with Dad to the back of the land temple to collect firewood. The snow has stopped now, so it will definitely be fun later."
"Okay, let's set off after dinner." Yun the Butcher said loudly.
Zhang set the table and the whole family sat down to eat together.
The children were eating absent-mindedly, listening to the noise outside, all craning their necks to look outside.
Although there was a curtain blocking the view, they couldn't see anything.
There was no need for Yun the Butcher to urge them. Yun Yiyi and the others urged Yun the Butcher to set off after finishing their meal.
"Okay, everyone, get your ropes and sickles. Let's go now."
"Dad, I want to take my iron stick with me."
"Okay, take it with you." Yun the butcher responded good-temperedly.
Amidst Zhang's nagging, Yun the Butcher took the Yun family children and walked towards the woods behind the land temple.
Xie Zirui did not come with them. He was left in the land temple to help Zhang.
After leaving the land temple, the snow on the road was too thick and no one had cleared it.
Butcher Yun walked in front, and Brother Yun and the others followed behind, following in Yun the Butcher's footsteps.
After a long time, Yun the Butcher and the children finally reached the woods.
"Dad, let's go a little further. I don't think there's much firewood left."
Butcher Yun also looked around and saw that most of the firewood that could be picked up had been picked up by everyone yesterday.
"Okay, let's go up there."
After Yun the Butcher finished speaking, he took the rope and sickle and started moving upwards.
It was really a move, and that's not an exaggeration at all, because the snow in the woods was too thick, and basically there were two deep pits after Yun the Butcher walked through.
Yun Yiyi had tried it before, and the snow was already knee-deep and above. So, she had the most difficult time walking.
Basically, it was Brother Yun who pulled her in front and Brother Yun who pushed her from behind, so that Yun Yiyi could keep up with everyone's speed.
After walking for more than half an hour, Yun the Butcher finally stopped.
No one had ever been in the direction chosen by the butcher Yun. One could tell by the lack of any traces of snow.
There were no traces of other people walking on the snow.
"Big brother, second brother, third brother, Yiyi, let's collect firewood here."
"Okay, Dad."
"I know, Dad."
"I'm exhausted. I need to lie down for a while."
"I want to lie down for a while, too. The road into the mountains is too difficult to walk on."
Yun Yiyi brought a piece of oilcloth with her before she came. She spread the oilcloth and lay down on it.
Third Brother Yun also lay down on it.
Brother Yun (Eldest Brother) and Brother Yun (Second Brother) looked at it and followed Butcher Yun to collect firewood.
"Third brother, do you think it will be more difficult to walk down the mountain later?"
"No, Yiyi. When we go down the mountain, let Dad and Big Brother carry the firewood in front, and we'll follow behind. It won't be too hard."
"I hope so. This is the first time I know that the road into the mountains is so difficult to walk on."
Yun Yiyi and Yun San Ge lay down for a while and then got up to work.
The heavy snow limited the speed at which the two little ones could work.
More than half an hour passed before the two of them collected a small bundle of firewood.
Yun Yiyi wiped the sweat off her face and said, "Third brother, this is the first time I feel that working in the mountains is so hard."
"I feel the same way." Because of his height, Third Brother Yun was very inflexible when moving in the snow.
The two looked at each other and slumped their shoulders at the same time.
Suddenly, Yun Yiyi heard a burst of hurried footsteps.
It seemed like someone or some animal was running very fast in the mountains.
Yun Yiyi straightened up and looked around uneasily. There were woods all around, and it was quiet inside the woods.
"Yiyi, is there something wrong?"
"Third brother, I heard some noise. I'm not sure if it's coming towards us."
"Really, Yiyi? I didn't hear anything? Did you hear it wrong?"
Yun Yiyi shook her head affirmatively, "Third brother, you can trust me, I won't hear it wrong."
"Third brother, let's call Dad, Big Brother, and Second Brother back first. I feel like something's going to happen."
"good."
"Big brother, second brother, dad, you should come back and rest for a while. You have been working for such a long time."
Third Brother Yun shouted loudly.
"Got it, I'll be right there." Brother Yun's voice came over.
After a while, Yun the Butcher, Yun the Big Brother, and Yun the Second Brother came over together.
"Yiyi, Lao San, are you two tired? If you are tired, you two should take a rest. I'll go and drag back the remaining firewood."
"Dad, I'll help you drag it." Brother Yun said.
"Second brother, you should take a break too. Your eldest brother will come with me and we can bring back all the firewood."
"Okay, Dad, I'll take a break too."
Second Brother Yun sat down on the oilcloth.
"Dad, brother, I just heard the sound of someone or an animal running, so I called you over."
Yun Yiyi said hurriedly.
"Dad, look over there, is there something running over there all of a sudden?"
Third Brother Yun pointed to a place a hundred meters behind and shouted loudly.
"Dad, I saw it too. What just ran past was a black creature. It ran so fast that it passed by in the blink of an eye."
"Dad, it's a wild boar. Only wild boars are black all over, and wild boars run fast." Yun Yiyi said hurriedly.
"Dad, big brother, look, there's an animal following behind. It's chasing the wild boar in front."
Third Brother Yun started howling again.
Butcher Yun was also confused, "I saw it too."
Suddenly, a tiger roar was heard.
Butcher Yun and Brother Yun's faces turned pale in an instant. Oh no, it was the roar of a tiger.
"Dad, forget about the firewood, let's go back quickly. The wild boar and tiger are running towards the land temple."
Yun Yiyi grabbed Yun the Butcher's hand and shouted anxiously.
After Yun Yiyi's reminder, Yun the Butcher suddenly understood that the direction the tiger and wild boar were running was indeed the land temple.
Yun the Butcher's face turned pale in an instant, his legs went weak and he was about to fall to the ground.
Yun Yiyi grabbed Yun the Butcher and said, "Brother, please help me hold Dad."
Brother Yun quickly helped to support Yun the Butcher.
"Dad, you can't fall down. Mom and Brother Zirui are still at the Earth God Temple. We have to go back quickly to help."
"And I just saw that the tiger almost caught up with the wild boar. They might have started fighting before they even reached the land temple."
