As soon as the sound faded, everyone lost their appetite.
Especially Chi Dongyi and Chi Dahu, the two of them put down their chopsticks and quickly walked out of the house.
Just then, a cold wind mixed with raindrops blew in our face.
The icy raindrops fell on people's faces, instantly melting and sliding down.
Even a strong, hot-tempered man like Chi Dahu couldn't help but shudder, let alone an older man like Chi Dongyi.
Meanwhile, Chi Yu, Qin Mu, and the others also came out.
After they went outside, they all started shivering.
But no one went inside. Instead, they looked up at the icicles hanging from the eaves, their hearts heavy.
Chi Dongyi said to Chi Dahu and Chi Yu, "Dahu, Xiaoyu, I have something to do, I'll be leaving now."
We'll have this meal another day when we have more time!
The remaining two clan elders, who were also the village chiefs of the upper and lower villages, were not in the mood for food at that time.
Upon hearing this, they all took their leave.
"Little Fish, we're going back now. When your general store opens again, your uncles will come and patronize it."
Also, the food tonight was delicious, thank you for your hospitality!
Seeing that the people were about to leave, Chi Yu quickly called out to them, "Uncles, wait a moment!"
After saying that, she hurriedly went back to the kitchen. When she came out again, she was carrying a basket each with Liu Lingling and Liu Mei.
"Uncles, you haven't eaten much yet. There are pancakes here, as well as sauerkraut fish and boiled pork that I made tonight."
Take these back with you and let your family try them.
I know you're all busy and might not even get to sleep at night, but food is the most important thing in the world.
You have to fill your stomach first before you can do anything else.
The pancakes are still warm; you can have some to tide you over.
After he finished speaking, he handed each person a basket.
No one wanted to refuse the fish's kindness. After taking the basket, they said a few polite words and hurriedly left, wearing raincoats and straw hats.
Although they had emphasized to everyone around noon that there might be freezing rain tonight and that everyone should be careful.
But when the freezing rain actually started, they couldn't help but worry.
Just as Xiaoyu said, they probably won't get any sleep tonight!
After leaving the house, Chi Dongyi said to the two clan elders:
"Everyone went home to get their gongs and knocked on doors to remind everyone to keep warm."
Be extra vigilant at night, and pay special attention to the fire on the kang (heated brick bed), especially in the room where the elderly and children live.
In addition, if there are few heated brick beds in the house, everyone should squeeze in to ensure the temperature is maintained.
Cover your doors and windows with parchment paper. If you don't have parchment paper, come buy some from Xiaoyu.
If you're reluctant to spend money, then find a way to seal up the cracks in the doors and windows yourself.
"good!"
Before long, people in both the upper and lower villages of Chijia'ao heard the sound of gongs being struck.
Those who ate early and had already gone to bed were unaware of the situation outside.
Upon hearing the sound of the gong, and recalling what the clan elder had said in the ancestral hall that afternoon, everyone quickly got dressed to watch.
Once they were dressed, open the door.
At that moment, the cold wind blowing in their faces made them shiver involuntarily.
In that instant, everyone's expression turned extremely ugly.
Fortunately, the clan chief had warned them at the beginning that a disaster was coming.
Therefore, each household had a lot of firewood and charcoal stored up.
They didn't go out, but just opened the door a crack and looked out in the dim light from inside the room.
Unfortunately, I couldn't see very clearly; I could only hear the sound, and the rain seemed to be getting heavier.
