Chapter 94: Eat and have nothing to do
Lin Mo and others didn't know what happened in Luyang City.
After getting up, they found that the weather was getting colder and they felt like they were going to be frozen to death.
But no matter how cold it is, they still have to hurry on their way. Lao Wei will not let you stay here just because the weather is cold.
By evening, light snow had begun to fall and the temperature had become even colder.
Xu Wuyan's heart became increasingly heavy.
Things were developing just as Lin Mo had said, and it really did snow lightly today.
So, the snowstorm the day after tomorrow is real?
At this moment, people began to complain:
"This damn weather, so cold and snowy, I'm going to freeze to death."
"Exactly. Can't we wait until we reach the Land of Exile before it snows? Once it snows, it will be even harder to walk. I don't know how many people will freeze to death."
"Oh, these days are so hard to bear."
…
Just as everyone was talking, Lin Mo came out and prepared to collect more firewood.
Xu Wuyan caught up with her.
Seeing that her hat was not worn properly and her ears were exposed, he hurried forward to help her fix the hat.
Lin Mo felt a little uncomfortable. "I can do it myself. I'm fine."
After saying that, he was about to reach out to get the hat himself, but was stopped by Xu Wuyan.
"I'll do it. It's okay now, but if you get frostbitten, you'll regret it, so you still have to be careful." Xu Wuyan gently helped her tie the belt.
As soon as he let go, Lin Mo hurried forward.
In the darkness, there was a hint of unnaturalness on her face.
She really wanted to say, don't be so nice to her, she was afraid that she would be greedy.
The day after tomorrow, we will arrive at the Valley of Miraculous Doctors.
There was a hint of sadness in Lin Mo's eyes. What is meant to come will come, and those who are meant to meet will meet. Perhaps this is fate.
If it’s not hers, don’t force it.
Lin Mo shook his head, getting rid of the inappropriate thoughts.
Now she just wants to live a good life with her mother and brother.
There is still a lot to do if you want to reach the exile land alive.
Thinking of this, Lin Mo turned around and looked at Xu Wuyan who was following him, with a serious expression:
"Collect more firewood tonight and take it with you on the road tomorrow. And collect firewood as you go tomorrow. Make sure you collect enough firewood."
If she remembered correctly, there were few trees along the way, making it difficult to collect firewood.
And next, a blizzard will be waiting for them.
Seven consecutive days of snowstorms.
If you don't have enough firewood to keep warm, you will definitely freeze to death.
In her previous life, because of this snowstorm, many frail elderly people and children were frozen to death, and she herself was also frozen sick.
If she hadn't been lucky, she would have died in this snowstorm.
A dark light flashed in Lin Mo's eyes. She must never repeat the same mistake again in her life.
Xu Wuyan nodded and turned to look behind him:
"Safety!"
Xu Pingan walked out from the darkness not far away, with a respectful look on his face:
"Young Master."
"I heard it. Do you know what to do?" Xu Wuyan's eyes swept over him.
Xu Ping'an nodded, then turned and left.
Xu Wuyan looked at Lin Mo in front of him again:
"Madam, the weather is too cold. You can leave small things like this to Ping An and the others. You can go in and warm yourself by the fire."
"It's okay. Whatever I can do is good." Lin Mo shook her head. She wasn't that pretentious.
Perhaps the experience of exile in her previous life was too profound, so she now likes to do many things by herself.
In fact, when she was at the Su family, she also emptied the Su family's firewood room.
When the time comes, just secretly take some out and burn them.
But if the Xu family doesn’t carry firewood with them.
She was afraid that others would not believe her.
Carrying firewood is tiring. Anyone who has done it knows how tiring it is. No one wants to endure this hardship.
But if the Xu family carries it away, there will always be some people who believe it and will take some along.
She couldn't convince everyone to believe her words, so she could only use this behavior to tell everyone that the blizzard was real.
She has fulfilled her obligation to remind them. If they don't believe it and something goes wrong, they can only blame themselves.
Xu Wuyan didn't say anything else and accompanied her in collecting firewood in the dark.
It was very late when we finished packing.
When they came back, there were several bundles of firewood placed in the corner outside the door, all tied up.
Lin Mo guessed that these were prepared by Xu Ping'an and the others, and only they would tie them up like this because they knew they were going to take them away.
When they went in, they were met with another round of sarcasm.
"What a cruel man! He has no mercy on his servants. It would be enough to have enough firewood to burn for one night, but he made them brave the snow to collect so much firewood."
"That's right. Firewood isn't food, so do we need to prepare so much? We can just pick it up wherever we go. Are you planning to let them carry it all?"
"That's what it means to be bored and have nothing to do."
…
Facing the sarcasm and ridicule of the crowd, Lin Mo did not get angry:
"We're going to take this firewood with us. I suggest you pack some up and take it with you if you don't want to freeze."
As soon as these words were spoken, many people laughed.
"You're scaremongering again. Are you going to say a snowstorm is coming and we need all this firewood to stay warm?"
"Haha, that's what she would say. How silly! If there really is a snowstorm, wouldn't we just be gathering firewood right there? Why would we bring it?"
"Shh, don't talk. A blizzard is coming. It's freezing!"
"Ha ha!"
…
The sarcastic tone of some people made the people around them burst into laughter.
Lin Mo was not angry. She shook her head and walked towards her home.
Liu Ying looked at her worriedly, "Momo..."
"Mom, don't worry, I'm fine." Lin Mo shook her head. She didn't take the ridicule seriously at all.
She looked at the cotton-padded clothes on the kang:
"Are these cotton clothes almost ready?"
Xu Xianyu stopped sewing and looked up:
"Don't worry, sister-in-law. We'll definitely be done by tomorrow night."
Lin Mo nodded, sat on the kang, and was about to help.
And Li Ping came over.
She moved closer to Lin Mo and lowered her voice:
"Mrs. Xu, will there really be a snowstorm?"
Lin Mo nodded, "Yeah.
Have you noticed that as you walk through the day, the trees and forests become thinner and thinner. Will there be even fewer if you continue walking?
If there are no forests or trees, where can you get firewood? That's why I recommend bringing firewood with you, just in case."
Li Ping's face darkened. Thinking of this, she realized that Lin Mo's worry was not without reason.
She hurriedly thanked Lin Mo and returned to her home to rest.
She asked Chen Ruoming to look after her younger brother and sister-in-law, and then she went out to collect some firewood.
She felt that she would not suffer any loss if she followed Lin Mo.
Although it will be a bit tiring and hard.
"Mom!" Chen Ruoming put on his shoes and chased after her.
After knowing what she was going to do, Chen Ruoming said he would go to help.
Li Ping shook her head. "No, it's too cold. What if you get sick from the cold? And who will look after your brothers and sisters?"
"Mom, they are safe at the post station, and we are close to the Xu family. No one dares to cause trouble in front of them." Chen Ruoming shook his head.
"It's because it's too cold. I help Mom so she can hurry up and rest earlier."
His mother was exhausted after pushing the cart all day.
If you don't get some rest early, you might get sick.
Li Ping did not refuse this time. After telling the three children not to run around, she took Chen Ruoming and hurried out.
Seeing this, the people around immediately laughed.
Among them, the Chen family laughed the loudest.
Lin Mo shook his head and said nothing more.
The next day.
The weather is getting colder.
After eating and preparing to leave, everyone saw the Xu family's servants, each carrying a load of firewood, and laughed again.
Even Old Wei couldn't help but look at them again.
Will there really be a blizzard?
He looked up at the gloomy sky where snowflakes were still falling, and frowned.
Hopefully there won't be a snowstorm.
If there is a snowstorm, the delay will last for a few more days, and I am afraid I will miss the arrival time.
Xu Ping'an and others who were carrying firewood did not complain at all and ignored what others said.
They believed the young lady's words and knew she would not attack without reason.
And now there are fewer and fewer trees around.
If things continue like this, I'm afraid we won't be able to find firewood. After all, there are too many monks and too little porridge.
The most important thing is that the young lady is also picking up firewood along the way. In addition, the snow is getting heavier now, and I am afraid that there will really be a blizzard.
By noon, the crowd that had been laughing happily before could no longer laugh.
The snow was getting heavier, and there were only a few sparse firewood around.
Lao Wei knew that they still had some dry food, so he didn't let them stop to rest. He just told them to keep going and get to the designated rest stop earlier so they could rest earlier.
The crowd, shivering with cold, had no choice but to continue on their journey.
But this time, many people started picking up firewood from the roadside.
Some people even fought over a piece of firewood, and the situation was only calmed down after the police came.
When we arrived at our destination, the ground was covered in snow.
"It's so cold, make a fire quickly, I'm freezing to death."
"No, what kind of place is this? This house is so shabby, won't I freeze to death at night?"
…
After seeing the environment inside the house clearly, everyone shouted and expressed their dissatisfaction again.
