Everyone ran to the cave entrance immediately. Before they saw the snow, they felt a biting cold blowing past their ears.

Everyone felt cold, painful and numb.

With the help of the light from the oil lamp, Lu Qingqing could clearly see the frozen snow falling densely from the sky.

The frozen snow was as big as copper coins, but after a short rest, the frozen snow falling from the cave entrance was already two inches thick.

Sure enough, the frozen snow that appeared in the picture finally came.

Lu Qingqing looked at the snow on the ground and her brows twitched. She shouted:

"Quick, let's move some stuff and block the hole!"

The frozen snow fell, and the temperature outside was dropping below zero at a speed visible to the naked eye.

If the entrance of the cave is not blocked, the cold air outside the cave will soon rush into the cave.

This is no different from being directly drenched by frozen snow.

As soon as Lu Qingqing finished speaking, everyone except Lu Hu immediately moved all the movable stones in the cave, but half of the cave entrance was still not blocked.

Lu Qingqing was trying to find a solution when she suddenly kicked a backpack and two bundles of firewood. Without hesitation, she quickly put the backpack and firewood on.

This completely blocked the entrance to the hole.

However, the stones were not stacked tightly enough, and cold wind still blew in from the gaps.

In such a cold day, even the slightest breeze can make people's bones numb.

What else can be used?

Lu Qingqing looked around and her eyes fell on the quilt. Finally, she mustered up the courage to cover herself with the quilt so that the cold wind could no longer get in.

At this time, the temperature in the cave no longer dropped, but it did not warm up either.

It’s so cold, we have to light a fire!

Lu Qingqing looked at her second aunt with chattering teeth. Yang Liuqing immediately understood what she meant and hurriedly took the oil lamp to light the dry firewood.

Fortunately, Lu Qingqing and Yuanzheng picked up a lot of dry firewood, which came in handy at this time.

But making a fire in an airtight cave can easily lead to lack of air circulation and cause oxygen poisoning!

Lu Qingqing had no choice but to go to the entrance of the cave and move a few stones to let the cold wind blow in and keep the air circulating inside the cave.

After doing all this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, feeling as if they had survived a disaster.

After all, the sudden snowstorm in Yiyang last year killed more than 50,000 people.

Yiyang had a permanent population of 80,000, and the freezing snow killed 50,000 people. Yiyang almost became a dead city.

Lu Qingqing had no chance to experience the unpredictable natural disasters when she was fleeing famine in her previous life.

Now that I have experienced it myself, I have a deeper respect for nature.

She carefully inspected the cave entrance to make sure that no more cold wind would blow in.

Then she sat down and let out a deep breath, and at this moment she also discovered that her hands were frozen and numb and she could not open them.

Lu Qingqing tried very hard to move her fingers, but none of her ten fingers could move.

"It's frozen. Let's put it over the fire to warm it up and move it around." Yang Liuqing said to Lu Qingqing while holding Yaoyao. As she spoke, she also put Yaoyao's hands and feet over the fire to warm them up.

But the little guy is afraid of heat. After a while, he said it was too hot and refused to bake anymore.

Yang Liuqing saw that Yaoyao was wearing a lot of clothes and was sure that she would not be cold anymore.

This allowed her to do what she wanted, but she wasn't allowed to stay too far away from the fire.

Lu Qingqing put her hand in the fire and roasted it for a while before she regained consciousness.

Just then, she noticed that her second uncle had a dull look in his eyes, as if he wanted to look at her but didn't dare to.

"Aunt, what happened to uncle?" Lu Qingqing quietly touched Yang Liuqing's arm.

Yang Liuqing held Yaoyao and looked at the Land Rover. They were indeed a couple for many years. They could tell what the other was thinking with just one look.

Yang Liuqing said unhappily, "Ignore him. He is just feeling lucky that he listened to you and went into the mountains to find a cave at night. Otherwise, he would still be in the wasteland. Now the snow is pouring down. I'm afraid no one would care if he froze to death."

That’s right, when he saw the frozen snow falling, Land Rover curled up into a ball and couldn’t calm down for a long time.

Even when Lu Qingqing was directing everyone to move things to block the entrance of the hole, he still hadn't recovered.

How could he remain calm when he almost killed everyone just now because of his stubbornness?

Fortunately, fortunately I listened to my niece's advice.

We went into the mountains early.

Otherwise, he really couldn't imagine what would happen next!

There is an old saying that goes, if you don’t listen to the advice of elders, you will suffer the consequences.

At this moment, Lu Hu wanted to make a change. If he didn't listen to his niece, he would lose his life!

Lu Hu wanted to praise Lu Qingqing, but he felt it was awkward for an uncle to praise his niece.

So, he remained in a stalemate and did not move.

Lu Qingqing didn't know what Lu Hu was thinking. It was only Yinshi (3 to 5 a.m.) and there was still an hour before dawn. Whether there would be dawn today was still unknown.

Seeing that no one was in the mood to sleep, Lu Qingqing thought about finding something to do.

"Aunt, we don't know how long this snow will last. Why don't we make some pancakes and rice balls and store them so that we can have something to eat when we run out of firewood?"

"Okay." Yang Liuqing had the same idea.

The purslane we dug today is still fresh, and there are three pheasants left. They are perfect as pancake fillings.

Yang Liuqing is an expert at division of labor. She picks vegetables, kneads dough, makes fire, and rolls out dough. In a short while, she has arranged everyone's work.

Lu Hu came up to Lu Qingqing with the noodles and couldn't help but praise her:

"Qingqing, you are really the pride of our Lu family. Unlike that boy, all he thinks about is eating and sleeping. He has no future at all!"

Lu Yuanzheng, who was lying down with a gunshot wound, felt his hand tremble, and the purslane in his hand fell to the ground!

Lu Hu immediately shouted: "Look at you, you can't even pick a vegetable properly!"

Lu Yuanzheng picked the vegetables again, but he was silently reciting something in his heart.

Dad is my biological son, don’t be angry, don’t be angry!

Dad is my biological son, don’t be angry, don’t be angry!

He can't change his father, what else can he do?

Bear with it!

Yang Liuqing, who was standing by, couldn't stand it anymore and immediately grabbed Lu Hu's ears and started to teach him a lesson:

"Look at you. You've been kneading the dough for a long time, but you still haven't made a dough. I think you are just good-looking but useless. Don't eat the cake for a while!"

After being scolded by his wife, the mighty Land Rover was like a quail. He dared not say anything and quickly speeded up the kneading of the dough.

Yaoyao, who was standing by, saw this and burst out laughing, saying that his second uncle was a henpecked man.

The henpecked man smiled at Yaoyao and did not refute Lu Yaoyao's words at all. It can be seen that in front of the second aunt, the second uncle is really a henpecked man!

Lu Qingqing chopped the purslane into pieces, marinated it with salt and oil to remove the water, then poured it into the pan and stir-fried it until it was well-flavored, then served it out and set it aside for later use.

Salted pheasant only wants the meat but not the bones. Lu Qingqing peeled the chicken meat off. Since the bones could not be wasted, she threw them into the pot to make pheasant soup and then made some noodles for a midnight snack.

Chop the pheasant meat into minced meat, fry it until dry, then mix it with purslane and fry it until cooked. This is the filling for the pie.

Lu Qingqing served them on a plate. The emerald green purslane wrapped in the brown minced meat looked appetizing.

Yang Liuqing rolled the dough into the size of two palms, scooped three spoonfuls of filling into it, wrapped it like a dumpling, flattened it, and put it in the pan to fry until both sides were golden brown. A fresh pancake was ready.

Yang Liuqing was very agile and in less than a moment, the basket was filled with hot, golden pancakes.

Seeing this, everyone swallowed their saliva, put down their work, and started eating one each.

The pie was hot and filled with pheasant juice. When I took a bite, my mouth was full of oil, but it didn't feel greasy at all.

Everyone here is eating enthusiastically and having a great time.

The wasteland at the foot of the mountain has suffered a lot. It is no exaggeration to describe it as hell on earth!

The frozen snow fell unexpectedly at the hour of Yin, and the victims on the wasteland were sleeping soundly.

After a day's journey, all their energy was exhausted.

By the time they noticed the falling snow, it was already so heavy that they couldn't open their eyes, and their body temperature was dropping bit by bit.

Everyone started shouting and screaming at once, leaving their belongings behind and scrambling to find a place to hide from the snow.

However, there was nothing in front except a few big trees.

Where else can you hide?
