"Prince Jing, Princess Jing, the snow and wind outside are too strong. You should go into the cave to warm up." Village Chief Yun, an old man, and Sanwa came over.

He brought Xiang Tongpan, Hua Zhixian and Yang Xianwei to the villagers, and the three of them carefully asked about the villagers' situation. Village Chief Yun was worried about Chu Chenjing and Ouyang Yunyao who were still in the snow, so he and the old village chief and the old village chief

The eldest grandson and the third grandson were waiting at the entrance of the cave.

Chu Chenjing and Ouyang Yunyao walked into the cave through a small entrance.

The cave is not big and can accommodate more than ten people. The light in the cave is dim, but because of the light reflected by the snow outside, shining through the cave entrance, you can barely see the scene inside.

They looked in confusion. There were only three people in the cave to greet them, one of them was an old man.

Seeing this, Chu Chenjing hurried forward and said, "Old man, it's snowing so heavily, and the cave is cold. Don't get cold, go in quickly."

The old man knelt down and kowtowed, saying, "I, Yun Fugui, greet Prince Jing and Princess Jing. Thank you for saving my life."

"Please get up quickly, old man." Chu Chenjing hurried forward and helped the old man up.

The old man who was helped up choked up and said, "Prince Jing, Princess Jing, you are the great benefactors of our Yunwu Village. You have saved the lives of more than 70 people in our village!"

The old village chief had just heard County Magistrate Hua excitedly saying that Prince Jing and Princess Jing had come to rescue them. He was so excited that he thought that if the snow continued to fall, the heavy snow would block the road and they would definitely starve to death or freeze to death.

Although there was a cave, there were no quilts or firewood, and there were only about twenty people who could work. The rest were either women or the old and young.

"Uncle, let's not talk about this now. Take us to give some food to the villagers." Chu Chenjing pointed to the ten soldiers who followed behind carrying baskets.

"Okay, okay, Mr. Guan, you have worked hard too." The old man wiped his eyes and said to the soldiers coming in from behind.

"Prince Jing, Princess Jing, go this way." The village chief said, pointing to a passage ahead.

Ouyang Yunyao looked around and could clearly see that there was a path inside the cave.

She looked at the passage ahead and said, "Village Chief Yun, is the cave you are talking about behind this passage? How long is this passage?"

"Prince Jing, Princess Jing, this passage is not long, only about three meters long. The hole inside is relatively large, just enough to accommodate the people in our village. Please follow me in." Village Chief Yun said as he led the way inside.

Chu Chenjing nodded, and followed Ouyang Yunyao and the soldiers carrying baskets into the cave behind the village chief and the other two.

Just as the village chief said, the cave was not deep. After walking more than three meters from the entrance, we entered a large cave.

This cave is indeed quite large and looks like it can accommodate more than a hundred people. There seems to be a road behind the cave, but it is pitch black inside.

There were two fires in the middle of the cave, and the firelight made the cave bright. Because of the fire, the cave was much warmer than outside. The villagers were sitting around the fire, listening to what Xiang Tongpan, Hua Zhixian, Yang Xianwei and others were talking about.

Chu Chenjing and Ouyang Yunyao looked at the scene in the cave, glanced at each other quickly, and smiled slightly. They knew in their hearts that the original plan could be changed.

At this time, Village Chief Yun walked to the fire and shouted to all the villagers: "Villagers, His Royal Highness Prince Jing and Princess Jing are here!"

When the villagers around the fire heard this, they all stood up, then knelt down, kowtowed and said in unison: "Your Highness Prince Jing, Princess Jing."

"Everyone, get up quickly!" Chu Chenjing said to the villagers.

The villagers then stood up, their faces and eyes full of gratitude.

At this time, Chu Chenjing said to the village chief: "Village chief, here are some hot steamed buns. Please distribute them to the villagers so that everyone can fill their stomachs first."

"Steamed buns! Steamed buns!" The villagers were very excited when they heard that there were steamed buns. It was almost noon, and no one had anything to eat. They were really cold and hungry. How could they not be happy when they heard that there were steamed buns to eat?

The village chief also responded excitedly: "Okay, okay, Your Highness Prince Jing, I will arrange it right away."

Ten soldiers of the Jingyong Army carried four baskets to the fire and lifted the covering cloth.

"Don't worry, everyone. There are enough steamed buns for everyone to eat their fill." Chu Chenjing asked everyone to sit down.

At this time, Ouyang Yunyao also lifted the blanket on another basket in front of her, took out a bottle of wine from it, and said to the village chief with a smile: "Village chief, everyone must be very cold. Here is some wine. Let everyone have a sip to warm up first, and then eat the steamed buns."

When the villagers heard that there was wine, they were even more excited and shouted, "There is wine! There is wine, this is great, if we drink a sip of this wine, it will not be cold anymore."

The village chief quickly called Daniu, Sanwa and a few others to distribute steamed buns and pour wine for everyone. Ouyang Yunyao was afraid that the villagers would not have bowls to pour wine, so she considerately put two military iron pots in the basket.

But the villagers did have bowls, which they found in the collapsed house that morning. They also found an iron pot and boiled some hot water on the fire to drink. The water was made from snow.

The villagers passed the word to one another and took a sip of the wine. They felt their bodies warm up instantly.

After Daniu finished drinking, he wiped his mouth and said with emotion: "Wow, this wine is really warming. I am not cold anymore in an instant."

The third child next to him also echoed: "I feel like I'm alive again."

When the villagers received the steamed buns, they were all surprised and kept their mouths open for a long time without taking a bite. Some villagers exclaimed: "The buns are still hot!" They originally thought that in such a cold day, the buns must be hard and need to be heated over the fire before eating.

"This steamed bun is so soft and delicious. It's the best I've ever eaten." A villager said as he ate with a satisfied smile on his face.

"Grandma, I want to eat more later." A little girl stuffed the steamed bun in her hand into her mouth and said to an old lady next to her.

"Mom, Yaya wants to eat, I want to eat too." A little boy, chewing a steamed bun, pointed at the little girl and said to his mother who was holding him.

Seeing everyone eating steamed buns, Ouyang Yunyao asked the village chief: "Village chief, are there any injured or sick people among you?"

"Princess Jing, some people were injured, but they are not serious. But two people have a fever, and I don’t know what to do. I was just talking to Magistrate Hua about it." The village chief said with a worried look on his face.

"Where are these two people? Take me to see them quickly." Ouyang Yunyao said anxiously.

"One is that old lady." The village chief pointed at an old lady who was half leaning on a woman, covered with a thin quilt.

At this time, a young woman sitting not far from Ouyang Yunyao pointed at the little girl in her arms with red eyes and said, "Princess Jing, look, our little daughter has a fever and she can't wake up. What should we do?"
