Chapter 160 Granny Sun and Uncle Li
Su Nuan's heart tightened. It must be Grandma Sun and her husband. She still needed their help to take care of the medicinal herbs.
Zhao Dayou ran back first, and Su Nuan followed him in. There were torches every few steps inside, so it was not dark.
Su Nuan felt that Zhao Dayou was not an ordinary person. The tunnel was narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, and the corners were supported by pillars and wooden boards, so it had not collapsed for so long.
At the same time, Su Nuan also admired Zhao Dayou's memory. She had already lost herself in the snow cave, but Zhao Dayou quickly found Grandma Sun's home.
The door of Grandma Sun's house was open, and Grandma Sun could be seen lying at the door. I didn't know if she was still alive.
Zhao Dayou ran in and hugged Grandma Sun and rocked her in his arms, "Grandma Sun... Grandma Sun..."
Su Nuan walked over quickly, took out a silver needle and pricked Grandma Sun's philtrum.
Granny Sun took a deep breath and howled before she even opened her eyes: "Damn it, you took away our food, how are we going to survive..."
Zhao Dayou breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Go see Uncle Li."
Su Nuan came to the bedside and saw Uncle Li lying on the bed, apparently having been knocked unconscious.
Seeing that the man was still alive, Su Nuan was no longer anxious. She took his pulse and gave him acupuncture. Uncle Li opened his eyes and called out, "Old woman."
Su Nuan said, "Brother Zhao, you carry Uncle Li on your back, and I'll carry Granny Sun. Let's leave quickly."
Zhao Da nodded, "Okay."
The four people left the village. The wooden boards on the snow surface were trampled into the snow, which showed that some people were still disobedient and ran away.
When Su Nuan and the others arrived at the cave, heavy snow began to fall outside.
Su Nuan suspected that there was a city of ice and snow in the sky, and now the city has collapsed, otherwise how could such large chunks of snow fall down?
Su Nuan felt strange that she didn't hear any noisy sounds when she entered the cave.
The overall shape of the cave is like a gourd, with the coffin placed in the small part. Now everyone is gathered on the big head side, but there are many stone pillars on the big head side that reach all the way up.
Although these pillars divide the area of the cave in a mess, they also give people an invisible sense of security, so that people don't have to worry about the cave collapsing.
Su Nuan put Uncle Li down and asked, "Uncle, do you want to go to your village to find a place to rest, or come to my house to rest?"
Grandpa Li looked at Granny Sun, and Granny Sun said, "Girl, you saved us twice. Our lives are yours, but..."
She hesitated for a moment and said, "There's nothing much to do right now. We can't just eat for free. That would be too unfair to you."
Su Nuan looked at Zhao Dayou and asked, "Is there anything wrong with people from your village living in our village?"
Zhao Dayou said: "No, they are all free to live wherever they want."
"Speaking of which, household registration is useless in this damn place."
Su Nuan nodded, "I understand. Then let them live at my house. After all, they probably won't be able to keep their house after the snowstorm."
The people of Xiangyang Village all fled to the north, and the houses they built were so well-prepared that when the heavy snow melted, all the houses collapsed."
Zhao Dayou sighed, "The heavy snow may not seem to be collapsing, but after the snow melts, the houses will definitely collapse due to the impact of the snow and water."
Although the people in the cave were scattered, they all heard what Zhao Dayou said.
The cave was filled with cries and sighs, and was gloomy and desolate.
Su Nuan had no way to comfort them. Now it was not just a housing problem, food was also a problem.
She whispered, "You'd better gather the food and eat from the same pot, otherwise you might not survive."
Zhao Dayou nodded repeatedly, "You're right. I'll go draw the boundary first to prevent any conflict between the people of the two villages."
Su Nuan looked at the scattered people around and said, "Just split it up to the left and right. The road leads to where the coffins are placed in the front."
Zhao Da was startled. "Coffin?"
Su Nuan nodded. "Well, this might be a secret tomb. There's a coffin inside, and a lot of old wood. We can take out the wood to keep warm."
It is not very cold in the cave. Lighting three or five bonfires can raise the temperature. After all, everyone's breath comes with heat.
Zhao Dayou's first reaction when he heard about the coffin was not fear, but joy. "That's great! With the coffin to calm them down, they won't dare to make any loud noises or disturbances."
Su Nuan thought so at first, she was afraid of the noise caused by too many people, it would be much better if everything was quiet.
Zhao Dayou went to talk to the people in their village. Su Nuan looked at Ling Cang. It had not yet been announced that Ling Cang was the village chief of Sifang Village.
When Ling Cang saw his wife looking at him, he coughed dryly and said, "Xiaotian, carry me on your back and give me another stick."
Xiaotian carried Ling Cang on his back, and Su Nuan handed him a bamboo pole that was more than four feet long.
Ling Cang looked at the expectation in Su Nuan's eyes and said with a smile, "Don't worry, I guarantee they will all obey."
Su Nuan nodded, "Yeah, I'll cook and wait for you to come back to eat."
Ling Cang smiled and said, "Okay, but do we also need to collect food?"
Su Nuan thought for a moment and said, "Don't accept it. If you do, they will only ask for more. After all, they are blaming you for getting them into trouble, and they will think you should support them."
Ling Cang's eyes glared, and he said, "We don't owe them anything. Do you know why they have the surname Ling?"
Su Nuan asked bewilderedly, "What else could it be? Isn't it just that my ancestors' last name is Ling?"
Ling Cang chuckled, "Let mother tell you. You should also know everything about the Ling family."
"Oh..." Su Nuan nodded, feeling a little curious.
Ling Cang patted Xiaotian's shoulder and said, "Let's go."
Xiaotian nodded, "Okay."
Su Nuan brought Granny Sun and Uncle Li to Mrs. Xue and said, "Mother, these are Granny Sun and Uncle Li. They are doctors from Xiangyang Village and will live with us from now on."
"As for the future, they will help us process the medicinal materials and do some simple work."
Mrs. Xue nodded. After all, she was the mistress of the general's mansion. She smiled politely and said, "Since you're here, there's no need to be reserved. We can eat together and work together."
"But when spring comes, we won't live under the same roof, understand?"
Granny Sun and Grandpa Li didn't seem to be ordinary people either, as their gestures of greeting were very proper.
They saluted and said in unison, "Yes!"
Xue nodded, "Okay, come find a place to rest, we just settled in."
Granny Sun and Grandpa Li were sitting quietly next to them, leaning against a raised stone.
Su Nuan couldn't wait to ask, "Mom, my husband said those people have the surname Ling for a reason. What's going on?"
Xue smiled and said, "Come, sit down and talk. If there's anything I've missed, grandma will fill it in."
The old lady heard what they said and smiled, "Come on, make some tea. This is a long story."
