Gu Beijian settled down in Yi Yami's house, and the Yi family didn't think there was anything wrong with it. They just regarded him as Yi Yami's good friend and partner. In addition, the New Year was approaching, and the Yi family felt that Gu Beijian didn't go home, so he was very pitiful.
Gu Beijian and the others, who had originally lived in Yi Xiaomai's courtyard, finally gave up due to the increasingly heavy snowfall. Instead, they moved to the main courtyard, just like Yi Yami. Yi Yami and Yi Xiaomai lived on the second floor, while Gu Beijian, the He family, and the Yi Lao Da and Yi Lao San families lived on the third floor. Everyone else lived in the bungalow in the main courtyard.
Gu Beijian did not come empty-handed. He brought the supplies he bought with him. This is one of the reasons why the Yi family did not dislike him.
Except for sleeping at night, Xiaodi and her family would stay together with the Yi family at other times to save coal.
The snow has already covered the calves and waist, an adult's waist.
This is still considered relatively light in places like Kyoto and further north, where the snow is almost up to people's necks.
The New Year hasn't even passed yet, and everyone is already feeling uneasy.
This unprecedented super snowstorm suddenly hit Yinweiguo. The whole country was covered with thick snow, traffic was paralyzed, and it was basically impossible to travel normally on the road. A large number of houses collapsed and many people died in this snowstorm.
Heavy snow continued for several days, bringing great hardship to the people. Many were trapped in their homes, unprepared and unable to go out to buy food and daily necessities. The bitter cold winds and the sudden drop in temperature caused many people to suffer from severe colds and coughs.
The government's rescue work faced enormous challenges. Roads were blocked by snow, making it impossible for rescue workers to pass. Rescue workers had to walk to the disaster area with great difficulty, trying to rescue the trapped people.
However, due to the severity of the snowstorm, many houses collapsed at such a fast speed that the casualties were heartbreaking. Many people lost their lives in the avalanches and house collapses, and many others were injured and had no money to treat them.
But during this disaster, many neighbors helped each other and shared food and warmth supplies; government officials and other enthusiastic people took to the streets to help clear the snow and rescue the affected people.
Thanks to Yao Wenyuan's advance notice, the situation in Guangquan Prefecture was slightly better and not so serious, but there were still people affected.
Yao Wenyuan almost never slept for five hours every day. As soon as he heard that there were people affected by the disaster somewhere, he would get up quickly and take the yamen runners to the disaster-stricken area.
Furui County, managed by Chen Nu, was also less affected by the disaster, thanks to the fact that he had people shouting in the streets and village roads every day.
Facts have proved that hard work is useful. Many people who listened to people's advice and had enough food to eat stayed at home, and the roofs of their homes were reinforced.
Yi Yami and Gu Beijian came up with a good idea. They made snow shovels with wood chips and sticks to shovel snow off the roof. This way, people don't have to take the risk of shoveling snow on the roof, and it is convenient and quick.
Gu Beijian asked Tianqing and others to shovel the snow off the roof of Yi's house one by one. After confirming that the effect was good, he found the village chief and asked him to organize the villagers to shovel the snow off the roof when the snow stopped occasionally. Otherwise, no matter how strong the beams were, they might not be able to withstand so much snow.
When Zhou Qi saw the long wooden sticks and wood chips they made, he thought they were very novel and quite convenient to use, so he quickly called people one by one to learn how to make this long shovel.
Zhou Qi and his men quickly cleared the snow off the roof while the snow stopped, and also cleared a path to facilitate communication with the people in the town.
Tianqing rode a horse and took the drawings to the town, and asked the town people to send them to the newly appointed mayor, Chen Nu and Yao Wenyuan, and finally Yao Wenyuan sent them to his superiors and people in other places.
Their action alleviated the impact of the snowstorm.
In many areas, the snow was dealt with when the snow stopped, which led to secondary collapses, or houses that were originally held up eventually collapsed due to excessive snow accumulation.
Yiyami heard that many people caught colds because of thin clothing, so she left enough clothes and quilts for her family and donated the rest to those in need.
Yi Yami also organized Xiao Di and others to boil ginger water and send it to those who caught colds. This was undoubtedly a timely help to those people.
Many villagers survived thanks to the clothes, quilts, and ginger water she gave them.
For a while, many people were grateful to Yi Yami and the Yi family.
Yiyami was wrapped tightly, with an inner layer of underwear and a vest made of the fur hunted by He Heihu on the outside. Yiyami wore it close to her body to protect her waist and back. She also wore a red cotton jacket on the outside, which was very warm. She wore a pair of tight-fitting pants and cotton trousers on the lower body. All the clothes on the upper body except the cotton jacket were tucked into the pants to prevent air from leaking.
Fortunately, Yi Yami has a slim figure. Although it doesn’t look good in this outfit, at least she doesn’t look bloated, but it is really warm.
The cotton shoes on his feet were also replaced with fur boots made by He Heihu.
When indoors, Yiyami doesn't wear a hat on his head. If he goes outside, he will wear a hat and a fur collar.
Yi Yami was like this, and coupled with the fact that she had been drinking the Fountain of Youth for a long time and eating dishes seasoned with the five-flavor fruit, her body was very hot.
The physical fitness of the others has also improved a lot due to the influence of Yi Yami's daily insistence on drinking a drop of water from the fountain of youth and eating meals seasoned with five-flavor fruit. Otherwise, there would be many patients in the yard now.
"Are you cold?" Seeing her staring at the door in a daze, Gu Beijian first moved away from her and only walked over when the coldness in his body had almost faded.
"It's not cold. The boots and vests made by my uncle and aunt are super warm!" Yiyami grinned when she saw him come back.
"I really envy you for having such a good uncle and aunt who did everything for you, Xiaomai and the old lady." Gu Beijian said with a smile.
Yi Yami poured him a cup of hot tea and said, "Yes, people really treat each other with sincerity. You treat me well, and I will treat you well too."
Gu Beijian took the hot tea and said, "The situation outside is not optimistic. Many villagers don't have enough food stored. Moreover, the snow keeps falling and no one knows when it will stop. Although many people's colds have improved, if they lack food for a long time, they will probably die."
"Wait a bit, maybe a miracle will happen. Let's see if the drought will stop after the New Year. If not, I'll try to move some of the food at home to share with them, and everyone can save some. If that doesn't work, we'll just have to wait until spring." Yiyami sighed when he heard that.
Gu Beijian sat down next to her, took a sip of hot tea, looked at the snow, and didn't know what he was thinking.
