Chapter 60 Feng Chatou fell off his horse
Seeing this, the people from the Chen and Fang families had no choice but to leave.
But he took Su Hanchu's words to heart. If it weren't for Chen Fang and the two sisters Chen Siyu, he wouldn't have caused trouble for the Jun family and could have drunk hot porridge now.
Su Hanchu served a bowl of porridge to Yang Yun and her son, and indicated that they could eat it next to Jun's house.
Then he continued to change the porridge for others.
Until everyone except the Chen family and the Fang family's eldest branch had their meals changed to porridge, the porridge in the pot was gone.
Su Hanchu asked Uncle Liu to get some snow and put it in the pot, and then cooked meat porridge for the people from the Jun and Su families to eat.
While drinking porridge, Su Hanchu looked at the piles of firewood at the Su and Jun families' side. Then he saw some people shivering in the cold against the rock wall of the cave. Su Hanchu asked Jiang Like and others to take some firewood and light another fire.
Then he shouted.
"Those with children, come and warm yourself by the fire. Take good care of your children."
After the Jun and Su families had eaten, Su Hanchu did not ask anyone to put the pot away. Instead, he asked everyone who wanted to drink hot water to go outside and get some clean snow and put it in the pot. Then anyone who wanted to drink hot water could bring a bowl to drink.
Thanks to the good deeds of Su Hanchu and Jun Moye, only a child and an elderly person died on that day from the Chen family, and one from the eldest branch of the Fang family also died.
Many disagreements had begun to arise between the two families, and many people began to resent the Chen family's mother and daughter.
Even the eldest lady of the Fang family, Chen Fang's sister-in-law, began to speak coldly to Chen Fang.
The Chen sisters were also ostracized.
Neither the girls from the Chen family nor the Fang family wanted to talk to them anymore.
Even if they said it, it would be sarcastic.
For a moment, everyone in the Chen family felt extremely aggrieved.
Su Hanchu occasionally saw it inadvertently, and just a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Is this just the beginning? The Chen family will always have to pay the price for their actions.
After staying in the cave for two days, the snowflakes outside were finally not falling so densely. Although there were still some scattered snowflakes, I could see the road clearly. After all, I had wasted two days and would have starved to death if I had stayed here all the time.
The leaders had already announced that they were going to set off, but Leader Feng looked listless.
Su Hanchu took a look and quickly looked away.
The luggage of the Jun and Su families were all placed on the sled. Jiang Like and the others were a little uneasy at first, worried that the Jun family would not need to carry their own luggage.
However, Su Hanchu suggested that they take turns pushing the snow sled and occasionally carry the younger children from the Su and Jun families.
The snowmobile was easy to push on the snow. Everyone knew that Su Hanchu was kind-hearted and helped them. They secretly decided in their hearts that they must find an opportunity to repay Su Hanchu and Jun Moye.
Because the snow was too thick, everyone walked very slowly. In addition, the journey had already taken two days, and there was no rest at noon. There was nothing to eat anyway, and there was no place to rest, so everyone continued on their way.
In the afternoon, Feng Chatou, who was riding on a horse, suddenly fell off the horse.
Su Hanchu tightened his grip on Jun Moye's hand, and his drooping eyes moved.
Jun Moye seemed to understand something all of a sudden, then he patted her hand with his cloak covering his face.
You Chatou and several others hurried forward to check on Feng Chatou's condition, and the team was forced to stop.
Some people began to sit on their luggage to rest, while others found a stone or branch to sit on.
Jun Moye pulled Su Hanchu to sit next to the sled and put his arms around her in his cloak.
He held her hand soothingly inside his cloak.
You Chatou went forward to check on Feng Chatou. He was still breathing, but his face was red. He touched his face and it was very hot.
"It seems that Feng Chatou has caught a cold. His forehead is very hot."
Wan Cha stepped forward and probed with his hand.
"It's very hot. I'm afraid he has a fever. In this awful weather, many people have caught colds."
Indeed, many people in the crowd were coughing.
Wan Chatou pinched Feng Chatou's philtrum.
"Hey, brother, Feng Chatou, wake up, how are you, are you okay?"
Feng Chatou just felt dizzy and had no strength in his body. His voice was very weak when he spoke.
"I just feel dizzy and have no strength."
This is definitely a cold.
Wan Cha Tou and You Cha Tou helped Feng Cha Tou into the carriage carrying supplies.
He began to urge the team to hurry up.
"Everyone, walk faster and cover more ground tonight."
Even Wan Cha Tou and Ning Cha Tou rode horses in front to lead the way, while You Cha Tou walked behind the team.
As the sky began to darken, everyone was still on their way because they had not yet found a suitable place to stay.
Everyone was already exhausted, cold and hungry. Some people scooped snow into their mouths, and some even picked a rare green branch in winter and chewed it in their mouths.
Someone from the Chen family has already started gnawing on the bark.
Su Hanchu stuffed a sweet potato into the mouths of everyone from the Su family and the Jun family, and gave each person a piece of candy.
Several younger children each had a boiled egg, which they ate secretly under the cover of the adults.
Because the ground was covered with snow, everyone could see the road by the light of the snow.
Finally I saw a dilapidated Taoist temple.
Ning Chatou loudly announced that they would rest here.
Su Hanchu led the people from the Jun family and the Su family to quickly seize the place.
The two families grabbed the largest room, and there was also a smaller room.
Although the house is very dilapidated, it can at least shelter us from the wind and snow. What's worth being happy about is that the snow has finally stopped after so many days.
The Su and Jun families put down their luggage, and Liu Shan took Jiang Like and others to collect firewood and see if they could find anything to eat.
Chuntao and her friends ran slowly with their children and failed to grab the house, so they stayed in the corridor next to Jun's house.
After finding Su Hanchu and asking him to let the child stay in the house for a while, they went out to look for firewood and wild vegetables.
Although the snow has stopped, the snow on the ground has not melted, so it would be difficult to find something to eat.
Su Hanchu also went out with Jun Moye, and the two walked towards the back of the Taoist temple.
If my guess is correct, this Taoist temple is quite large, and there may be a pond or river behind it, because we need water to survive, and water is the source of life.
Sure enough, after they walked a short distance, Su Hanchu discovered a special road in front of him.
The surface is very slippery and looks shiny, and the road stretches endlessly into the distance.
Su Hanchu squatted down, took out a flashlight and shone it on the ground. It was ice, very thick ice.
So there is a river here, and because it has been snowing for too long, the river is frozen.
Su Hanchu took out a dagger and tested the hardness of the ice.
Judging from its width, this river is very wide, so there must be fish, shrimp and other things in it.
Jun Moye looked at her movements and spoke curiously.
"Hanchu, what did you find?"
Su Hanchu spoke with a smile.
“Maybe we can finally fulfill our promise to let everyone have a meal of meat.”
