"The old man said he hadn't seen such a blizzard in decades."
"So after the road out of the mountains was blocked, Brother Achen learned from other Miao people that the Miao people in the deep mountains and forests had taken some food for winter to the orchards, and now the heavy snow had blocked the forests where they usually hunted for a living."
"Brother Achen was worried that the food they had left wouldn't last through the winter, so he gave four or five thousand catties of rice to the other Miao people in the Starry Sky Orchard, so that they could also share some with each village while they could still travel through the deep mountains."
"And Brother Chen himself, disregarding the objections of all the Miao people, led us to carry rice to deliver to the Miao people in even more dangerous areas."
"Although it was very cold these past few days, and I bumped into things and fell a few times, I'm still okay!"
"The incident only happened after Brother Achen suddenly changed his route and came to Xique Miaoyuexi Village."
Ayin confessed that the twenty-odd Miao households in Yuexi Village all built their houses on cliffs.
Because of the freezing rain that followed the blizzard, the snow that could have slid off the roof was frozen.
The stilted house collapsed due to the excessive weight of the roof.
"Brother Chen saved seven or eight babies in a row. At the last house, because he had been running around all night and had not yet recovered from a cold, he fell down with the collapsing building! Just a second before he fell off the cliff, he threw the child he was holding out of the building to us."

“Brother Achen has stockpiled a lot of things, including not only rice but also many grain seeds. We don’t know if the chief chiefs and the core Miao people of the three major branches know about it.”
Ayin said, "But this time, Brother Achen was just too worried that the Miao people living in the deepest part of the mountains wouldn't have enough food and wouldn't be able to go hunting, so he—"
"Got it! Let's go--"
As she turned around, Amo used the butterfly inside her body to sense Achen's location and silently recited something in her mind.
"Achen, please don't get into trouble! We have to wait for Amo to come."
