Chapter 98 Regret
"Already here?"
Shen Pingqi looked around, trying to find the cave that Lin Mo mentioned.
Unfortunately, he only saw darkness.
He turned his head to look at Lin Mo, with a hint of mockery in his eyes:
"Grandfather, where is the cave you mentioned?
Could it be that there is no cave here at all, and you colluded with outsiders to deliberately trick us into coming here, and then commit some evil deeds?"
Lin Mo rolled her eyes. Why did she feel that Shen Pingqi had paranoid delusions?
He keeps thinking all day long, is someone trying to harm him?
I couldn't help it and kicked him:
"Get lost."
“Ahhhh!”
The defenseless Shen Pingqi was kicked right in the face, howling in pain.
Serves you right.
Lin Mo sneered.
Just walk straight past him and keep going.
Shen Pingqi was indignant.
This woman is really getting more and more arrogant. She wasn't like this before.
No, he doesn't want to swallow this anger.
Shen Pingqi gritted his teeth and chased after him again:
"Didn't you say that? Why are you leaving?"
Lin Mo looked at him like an idiot, "How are you going to get in if you don't leave?"
After saying that, he turned right.
Shen Pingqi sneered. He could see the end of this area at a glance. Now he was thinking about how she would make a fool of herself.
But after turning a corner, Shen Pingqi’s eyes widened, his face full of shock.
cave.
There really is a cave.
The entrance to the cave is not big, just big enough for a carriage to enter.
Because the cave is right at a bend and the entrance is blocked by rocks, it cannot be found at all if you don't look carefully.
All I can say is that this cave is very secretive.
Lin Mo didn't bother to pay attention to Shen Pingqi who was shocked, and looked at everyone:
"We're here. Women, come with me to prepare a place to stay for tonight. Men, go find firewood. The more the better."
As soon as she finished speaking, Shen Pingqi, who had come back to his senses, shouted:
"Why should I go looking for firewood?"
The next second, he was kicked out by Lin Mo.
“Ahhhh!”
Shen Pingqi screamed.
Lin Mo retracted his foot, his face expression cold:
"Don't men claim to be the head of the family? If you're the head of the family, who would do such a trivial task as finding firewood if you don't? Or..."
Lin Mo stared at him sinisterly:
"Or is it that you can't even do such a small thing? There's no point in living for such a loser like you. You can just freeze to death. What do you think?"
Shen Pingqi was furious, and after getting up from the ground, he was about to start cursing.
But he accidentally met her eyes.
The next second, his heart trembled and he swallowed back all the words that were about to come out of his mouth.
This look...
This woman wants to kill herself.
“Let’s go find him now.” Shen Qingyun came over, grabbed Shen Pingqi, looked deeply at Lin Mo, and then dragged Shen Pingqi away.
He's smart.
If he doesn't go, she will definitely beat him until he can't take care of himself.
Lin Mo curled his lips, turned and walked towards the cave.
The entrance of the cave looks small, but the inside is very large and can easily accommodate thousands of people.
After entering, Lin Mo chose a relatively flat place as their territory.
Li Ping also chose a place next to them.
After Xu Ping'an and the others brought in firewood and other supplies, Lin Mo asked them to continue going out to look for firewood.
They are short of firewood now and must prepare enough firewood.
Seeing Li Ping packing up, Lin Mo shook her head:
"Li Ping, take your son with you and follow Xu Ping'an and the others to collect more firewood. Leave this here for your eldest daughter to clean up, or wait for you to come back and clean it up."
Li Ping was stunned for a moment, nodded and took her son out.
She believed Lin Mo.
After Li Ping left, Lin Mo immediately divided the work.
She asked Qin Ma, her mother and the other two to clean up the cave.
Then he took Lin Shuo, Xu Xianyu and the other two to go find firewood.
After arriving at the cave entrance, Lin Mo asked Xu Xianyu and her sister to look for it nearby, while she continued to move forward with Lin Shuo.
The snowstorm is coming, and no one can be lazy.
"It's dark, and the road is hard to walk on. Follow me closely."
Lin Mo turned around and spoke carefully to Lin Shuo.
As he went in and out, Lin Mo clearly felt that the temperature had dropped a lot.
A snowstorm is coming.
Lin Mo couldn't help but quicken his pace.
They must get enough firewood, otherwise these seven days will be very painful.
"Sister, it's so cold!" Lin Shuo shivered.
"Well, a snowstorm is coming, the kind that only happens once in a century." Lin Mo said seriously:
"Lin Shuo, now is not the time to be pretentious, we must move faster.
Carry back a few dead trees and use them as firewood for warmth."
…
And on Lao Wei's side.
He was woken up by the cold in the middle of the night.
After crawling out of the quilt, I found that the wind was blowing so hard that I couldn't open my eyes.
And snowflakes fell from the sky one by one.
Looking at the gradually dying fire, Old Wei's expression became solemn.
He didn't know if it was a blizzard.
But he knew that a heavy snow was coming.
We can't stay here anymore. If we stay any longer, we'll all freeze to death.
Without delaying any longer, Lao Wei immediately stood up, looked at the person who was woken up by the cold and was complaining, and shouted:
"If you don't want to freeze to death, get up, pack your things, and rush to the cave ahead to take shelter from the wind and snow."
The wind was so strong that it scattered his words.
But this time, no one dared to object.
Instead, he packed up his things at an unprecedented speed.
Even though the wind was so strong that they couldn't stand up and the cold was so severe that they were shivering, they still had to force themselves to pack their things.
Only then did they truly regret it.
What Lin Mo said was true, there really was a snowstorm.
But it's no use regretting it now.
Old Wei packed his things quickly with a serious expression, put them on the carriage, led his horse, and walked forward with his head down.
At the same time, he kept shouting at the back:
"Hurry, follow me, hurry up.
If you don’t want to freeze to death here, walk faster.”
No, the temperature was dropping too fast and he felt like he was going to freeze to death.
Old Wei, who was blown by the heavy snow and found every step extremely difficult, regretted his decision.
He shouldn't have distrusted Lin Mo.
If he believed in Lin Mo, he wouldn't have to suffer this.
Old Wei took out the wine bag from his arms with trembling hands and took a big gulp of wine.
The spiciness of the wine brought a touch of warmth to his body and also gave him a touch of strength.
Now, he wanted to thank Lin Mo for letting him warm the wine.
Otherwise, the sudden drop in temperature would definitely freeze the wine.
Old Wei carefully put the wine bag into his arms again and warmed the wine with his body temperature.
Pulling the horse, looking back:
"Hurry up, follow me."
At this moment, someone screamed:
"Son, hurry... hurry and hold on to Mom, be careful!"
"Ahhh, the snow is so strong, people are about to be blown away, and it's impossible to move."
…
Before the heavy snow came, Lin Mo and Lin Shuo each dragged back two trees.
And those who had gone out to look for firewood have all returned.
At this time, everyone was sitting around the fire, warming themselves and eating.
When they looked at Lin Mo, there was gratitude in their eyes.
If it weren't for Lin Mo, they would have to come here in the strong wind and heavy snow.
If she hadn't urged them to collect firewood, they wouldn't have any firewood to burn to keep warm.
At this moment, they were full of gratitude towards Lin Mo.
As for Lin Mo, after dragging the tree back, he took a breath and went to find Xiao Liuzi.
Borrow his sword and start chopping down the tree.
Such a big tree cannot be burned unless it is cut down into smaller pieces.
And it just sits there, taking up space.
This scene made Xiao Liuzi, who was standing by, feel extremely distressed.
"Mrs. Xu, please be careful. Don't treat the knife as anything else. Look, the blade is almost curled."
Lin Mo smiled:
“Without firewood, I can’t even save my life, so what’s the use of this knife?
If it gets bent, and we're still alive, I'll compensate you with a new, better one."
As he said this, he started chopping again.
Xiao Liuzi agreed when he heard it.
He looked towards the cave entrance, listening to the whistling wind outside and the occasional snowflakes drifting in, a trace of worry crossed his face.
"I wonder what's going on with Brother Wei and the others?"
"There's no way around suffering." Lin Mo answered directly.
But she didn't know how many people could make it this far.
This scene never happened in my previous life.
In their previous life, they were at the post station when the snowstorm came.
Although the post station was dilapidated, it could at least shelter us from the wind and snow.
At this moment, Liu Ying came over with a bowl of steaming hot soup:
"Momo, stop doing that. You've been hungry for so long. Drink a bowl of soup to warm yourself up before eating."
When he saw Xiao Liuzi, he quickly asked:
"Sixth Master, have you eaten yet? Do you want to eat some too?"
"No, I've already eaten." Xiao Liuzi shook his head. "Mrs. Lin, don't call me Master Liu. Just call me Xiao Liuzi."
Liu Ying smiled shyly, and seeing that Lin Mo didn't drink, she hurriedly urged her to drink quickly.
It's so cold, the soup gets cold quickly.
Lin Mo nodded and drank quickly.
After she finished eating, she handed the bowl to her mother.
Looking up, "Mother, ask Nanny Qin and the others to boil a few pots of ginger water. There is ginger in the carriage.
When Mr. Wei and the others arrive, let them drink a bowl of this to drive away the cold.
Otherwise, I’m afraid I’ll get sick.”
Liu Ying nodded to indicate that she understood, and then she took the dishes and chopsticks and went back.
Xiao Liuzi looked up and said, "Mrs. Xu, you are a good person."
Good person?
Lin Mo smiled and shook his head, "Xiao Liuzi, I'm not a good person.
I do this for ourselves.
If they are all sick, they will definitely infect us.
Here, there is a lack of medicine and people cannot afford to get sick.”
Xiao Liuzi shook his head and didn't continue the topic.
If there is a shortage of medicine, it’s others, but definitely not them.
The Xu family has a lot of good things.
Bang!
Just as he was in a daze, Lin Mo chopped at the tree trunk with a knife, but unexpectedly the blade was bent.
When Xiao Liuzi saw it, his heart ached.
At that moment, I couldn't help but wail.
Lin Mo shook his head, "You can't blame me, the quality of your knife is not good.
Don't worry, I'll give you a better one when the snowstorm passes."
Xiao Liuzi was so upset that he could not even cry, and blamed the poor quality of his knife.
Woo woo, this is a knife, not an axe.
How can you possibly bear it if you use it as an axe?
Looking at her eagerly:
"Mrs. Xu, you said you would give me a better one as compensation."
"Okay, pay!"
