After discussion, all the people of Chijia'ao, regardless of age or gender, as long as they were over five years old and able to work and walk, were divided into two groups.
A quarter of the team patrols to prevent wild animals from coming down the mountain and injuring people.
The remaining three-quarters were all used to cut down large trees on the mountain.
The felled trees were sawn into three-meter-long sections.
After the saw is cut, it is split in half and inserted into the ground. It is then tied tightly with hemp rope or vines to serve as a wall, enclosing the two villages above and below Chijia'ao.
Although the combined area of these two villages is not small, the efficiency with which the entire village mobilized was truly astonishing.
In order to survive, no one dared to slack off, but worked very hard.
When the wall was halfway in place, the villagers were all given a good amount of wild game.
However, no one felt happy looking at these things; all they felt was shock and fear.
In turn, this made them work even harder.
Each of them wished they could make one hour feel like two.
On the 25th day of the first lunar month, after the people of Chijia'ao worked hard to catch up, the wall was finally completed.
Meanwhile, looking out from Chijia'ao, the snow on the surrounding mountains had completely melted.
The weather was ridiculously hot, with temperatures comparable to those in early April of previous years.
Because of these unusual circumstances, everyone's tense emotions reached an extreme.
No one dared to go inside the house. Even if they had no choice but to go in, they would come out faster than if they were being chased by vicious dogs.
They quickly moved all their belongings to a spacious place away from the house.
Fearing it might rain, they covered it with raincoats, oilcloths, and other materials.
Chi Yu and Chi Qiao also emptied their house of everything.
Aside from the obvious items like pots, pans, tables, and chairs, she put everything else, especially the food, into her space.
As for Zhuangzhuang, this little guy hasn't even left the space these past few days.
Chi Dahu was afraid that his two younger brothers' families would attract attention if they had too much grain.
He then made up an excuse to let them leave the grain to him for safekeeping.
Of course, in the end, Chi Yu put these things into her space.
Just when everyone's emotions were at their most tense, the Wang family started making a scene again.
This time, it was still Old Lady Wang who caused the trouble.
Originally, Qiaoya's father was going to take the whole family back home after the fifteenth of the lunar month, when the weather warmed up quickly.
But Old Lady Wang, who was already comfortable living in Chijia'ao, was unwilling to accept this, so she made an excuse to delay, saying that she still had to wait until after the Dragon Raises its Head in February.
They also said there's only about half a month left. The snow on the mountain is starting to melt, which is good, but the roads are difficult to walk on and slippery.
For an elderly woman like her, going up the mountain is difficult enough, let alone coming down.
Qiaoya's father said he would carry her on his back. If that didn't work, her aunt from her husband's family could borrow a mule cart, and Aqing could drive it to take them down the mountain.
But Old Lady Wang was unwilling to accept this. Their house in Wangwanli had collapsed, the weather was so unusual, and there were even rumors of an earthquake.
She wanted to stay here until the earthquake disaster was over.
Ya'er's in-laws are capable. If something happens during the earthquake, do you really think they can just abandon them?
Therefore, unable to descend the mountain, and considering the earthquake and the recent appearances of various wild animals, they finally moved down from Tanshan.
Chi Erxiong's house is big, but it's crowded with so many people moving in all at once.
