Mu Qingyu provided some charcoal to every household in the village, but it was clearly not enough; they would need to find other things to start a fire.
Fortunately, a lot of useless wooden strips and other materials were salvaged during the previous construction, which could be used to make fire for warmth. There were also leftover branches and leaves from making arrows.
Fearing that the cold weather would last a long time, everyone temporarily stopped working for the past two days and went out of the village in groups to look for various flammable materials.
Mu Qingyu also joined the group going out, and she was mainly responsible for everyone's safety.

But after the extreme cold, only a little over two hundred people remained in the entire village. The village chief's family of three, however, were still alive.
