Lin Yuexi woke up suddenly. She didn't care about the biting cold. She quickly got out of bed, tiptoed to the window, gently pulled aside a corner of the curtain and looked out.
I saw a strong wind and heavy snow outside, and the sky and the earth were in chaos. The branches were shaking violently in the strong wind, making creaking sounds, as if they would be broken at any time.
Her heart tightened instantly, and the image of Zhou Ruiyuan and Lin Qiaoyun shivering in the cowshed immediately appeared in her mind.
"Lu Cheng, wake up!" Lin Yuexi turned around hurriedly, walked quickly to the bed, and pushed the sleeping Lu Cheng hard to wake him up.
Lu Cheng opened his eyes dazedly, and when he saw Lin Yuexi's anxious expression, he woke up instantly, "What's wrong, Yuexi? What happened?"
"It's snowing so heavily outside. Professor Zhou and the others will definitely not be able to survive in the cowshed. We have to go and check it out!" Lin Yuexi said as she quickly started to put on her clothes.
Lu Cheng stood up without any hesitation and quickly put on his clothes.
The two of them packed up simply, took some thick quilts and warm clothes, and plunged into the snow and wind.
The cold wind cut their faces like a knife, the heavy snow made it almost impossible for them to open their eyes, and every step they took required a lot of effort.
Lu Cheng held Lin Yuexi's hand tightly, fearing that she would fall in this bad weather.
When they finally reached the bullpen with great difficulty, their hearts sank at the sight before them.
Part of the roof of the cowshed had collapsed due to the accumulated snow. Zhou Ruiyuan and Lin Qiaoyun were huddled in a corner. Fortunately, Lin Yuexi had replaced the cotton in their cotton coats and quilts, otherwise they would have been frozen to death.
"Professor Zhou, Sister Qiao Yun!" Lin Yuexi hurried over and covered them with the quilt in her hand.
When Zhou Ruiyuan and Lin Qiaoyun saw them, a hint of surprise flashed in their eyes, but it was quickly replaced by worry.
"Yuexi, Lucheng, why did you come here when it's snowing so heavily? It's too dangerous!" Zhou Ruiyuan said in a trembling voice.
"Professor Zhou, now is not the time to talk about this. We have to build the cowshed quickly." Lu Cheng said.
After saying that, the two of them were about to think of a way to help them build a cowshed.
At this time, it was almost dawn, and suddenly someone from a couple who lived in the cowshed a little further away next door let out a mournful cry.
Lin Yuexi and Lu Cheng didn't care about Zhou Ruiyuan and Lin Qiaoyun anymore and hurried over to take a look.
It turned out that the cowshed that was leaking everywhere had half collapsed last night. It was a pity that this couple was not as lucky as Zhou Ruiyuan and his wife. Although they would give them some gifts when they sent them things sometimes, they did not take good care of them.
Besides, she was afraid that if she took care of everyone, that group of people would become suspicious, and then they would find out that she had given gifts to Professor Zhou and his wife, and then no one would be able to take care of them.
When Lin Yuexi and Lu Cheng rushed to the couple's cowshed, they saw the scene was in a mess.
Under the half-collapsed cowshed, the husband was hugging his dead wife and crying bitterly. The surrounding snow was soaked with tears and blood, and was mottled.
The heart-wrenching cry sounded particularly desolate in the howling wind and snow, causing Lin Yuexi and Lu Cheng to feel a sharp pain in their hearts.
"How could this happen..." Lin Yuexi murmured to herself, her eyes instantly reddened. She knew that this was all due to the bad weather and the harsh environment, and she was unable to take good care of everyone because she had to protect Zhou Ruiyuan and his wife, and she felt guilty.
Lu Cheng gently patted Lin Yuexi's shoulder, signaling her not to blame herself too much. They walked forward, wanting to comfort the grief-stricken husband.
However, at this moment any words seem so pale and powerless.
"My condolences..." Lu Cheng said in a low voice, with helplessness and sadness in his voice.
The husband raised his head, his face full of tears, his eyes full of despair and helplessness. "Why...why did God do this to us..."
His voice was hoarse, and every word seemed to be spoken with all his strength.
Lin Yuexi squatted down, held his hand, and said with a sob: "We will help you, we will."
At this time, Zhou Ruiyuan came over, put the cotton coat that Lin Yuexi gave him on this man and said, "Old Zhang, please accept my condolences! We still have to live on. In this kind of weather, we should first support this cowshed, and then find a piece of land for your wife to bury her! ..."
After saying that, he picked up his hatchet and walked into the mountain! More than a dozen people living in the cowsheds on the other side also followed his example and picked up their hatchets and walked into the mountain.
Lin Yuexi knew that Professor Zhou and his men were going up the mountain to cut down trees. What should she do? If she was caught by that group of people, it would be another crime of destroying the pine forest.
So she said loudly, "Everyone, there is no need to cut down trees. I still have some beams and wood left over from repairing the house. I will find someone to carry them to the mountain over here, and you can just carry them down."
Upon hearing this, Lu Cheng pulled Lin Yuexi's collar and whispered, "Yuexi, there is not much wood left when the house was built...you..."
"Lu Cheng, believe me, if I say yes, then yes..." Lin Yuexi patted the back of his hand.
Lu Cheng had no choice but to stop talking.
The man who was about to go up the mountain to cut trees stopped after hearing Lin Yuexi's words.
Lin Yuexi said, "I'll go back and have someone carry it to this mountain. You guys light a fire and roast it. And since Madam Zhang has passed away, let her rest in peace!"
Seeing that Lin Yuexi's words made sense, everyone went to help Lao Zhang deal with his wife's funeral.
Seeing this, Lin Yuexi comforted Zhou Ruiyuan and Lin Qiaoyun, then walked back with Lu Cheng.
Along the way, Lu Cheng was a little confused. Lin Yuexi said, "The situation is urgent now, and I can't say anything to you. Go back and see if Ziyan and Xiyun are awake. I'll come back after I finish dealing with things here..."
“???…” Lu Cheng’s mind was filled with black lines. Anyway, it wasn’t the first time that he had seen Lin Yuexi doing something strange, so he didn’t say anything more. He just reminded her, “Be careful, don’t let those people catch your weakness! In my opinion, it’s better to ask Zhao Gang to come over. He has a wide network of contacts…”
Lin Yuexi knew about Lu Cheng's worries, but she felt that it was better not to trouble Zhao Gang for the problem that she could still solve.
So she replied, "No, Lu Cheng, trust me, I can handle this."
Seeing this, Lu Cheng knew he couldn't stop her, so the two separated at the top of the mountain. Lu Cheng went home, while Lin Yuexi walked a distance down the Niuping Mountain, chose a spacious place, and slipped into the space.
Once you enter the space, it feels like you have entered another world. It is sunny and windy here, completely different from the icy and snowy scene outside.
Lin Yuexi cast her gaze towards the space farm, and saw that the pine trees, fir trees, and other trees that she had planted herself on the farm were all lush and green and had grown into towering trees.
These trees are tall and straight, with lush branches and leaves, sparkling with vitality under the sunlight.
Lin Yuexi stood in front of these trees, feeling a surge of pride in her heart.
