When it was just getting light, Lin Feng and his group were ready to set off.
Today, Shopkeeper Chen also got up early and sent Lin Feng and others out of the inn: "Brother, have a safe trip."
Lin Feng and others said goodbye to Manager Chen, drove the mule cart, and set off on their journey home.
The way back was much more difficult than the way here. The further north they went, the colder the weather became. They had been traveling for more than half a month and everyone was showing signs of fatigue.
Lin Feng looked at the sky and said anxiously, "Everyone, grit your teeth and hold on for a while. I think it's going to snow. We need to find the next place to stay quickly."
Upon hearing this, everyone quickened their pace, but the mule, which was pulling a cart full of goods, refused to move. No matter how Tiezhu and the others whipped it, the mule would not move its hooves.
Lin Feng had no choice but to let everyone rest on the spot for a while.
Tiezhu and the Guo brothers did not even have time to rest and hurriedly fed the mule some food and water.
Li Yan looked at the dark sky, turned around and immediately climbed back into the carriage to take out the prepared oilcloth.
"Uncle, the weather might change anytime soon, so we should cover the goods!"
Lin Feng took the oilcloth from Li Yan's hand, and everyone wrapped the goods tightly. These goods could not be touched by any moisture. If they were damaged, they would have to pay for all the damages!
Here, Lin Feng and his men covered the goods with tarpaulin. They sat in the deserted wilderness and rested for about half a minute. The cold wind brought crackling snow particles that hit them on the head.
The bean-sized snowflakes hit Li Yan's face and caused pain.
Lin Feng didn't care about resting anymore and urged: "We have to hurry up. See the big mountain ahead? There is a cave there. Let's go hide there first!"
Monkey and Tiezhu whipped the mule to urge it to go to the mountains. Fortunately, the mule, after resting for a while and being fed with grass and given some water, finally started moving again.
Everyone struggled forward against the howling cold wind and snow, and it took an incense stick of time for them to reach the foot of the mountain.
Lin Feng: "Everyone, hold on a little longer. Go up this path. There's a big cave on the mountainside that can accommodate us to take shelter from the wind and snow!"
Monkey and Tiezhu pulled the mule in front, and the others helped push the goods behind them, slowly moving forward along the rugged mountain road.
The mountain road was very rugged and the mules' pace seemed even more difficult on the winding mountain road, but everyone was not discouraged and continued to move forward step by step.
Finally, they arrived at a large cave on the mountainside. It was spacious and deep, enough to accommodate everyone and their cargo. They quickly set up their mules and carts.
Lin Feng: "Everyone, hurry up and collect some firewood before it gets wet in the forest!"
Without taking a break, everyone immediately went out to look for firewood. Fortunately, they were in the mountains and forests, and there were a lot of dead branches on the ground. After picking them up for a while, they came back with a full bag of dry firewood.
It is unknown when this heavy snow will continue. If we want to resist the severe cold weather, we must prepare more firewood for warming.
The Guo brothers moved a huge rock and used it as a simple shelter to prevent the wind and snow from invading.
There was a gap that was not blocked by the boulder, so Lin Feng and the Yang brothers cut some trees in the woods to fill it.
After cleaning up the cave, Lin Feng lit the firewood.
A warm breath filled the air, and everyone sat in front of the fire, warming each other, and their frozen bodies gradually felt better.
