Snowflakes were flying everywhere and many people were shivering from the cold.
When the day dawned, Tang Qiuyue opened the small window of the wooden house and was blinded by a layer of white snow on the ground.
The snow came faster and heavier than she expected.
"Help, help, is there anyone who can save my child?" Tang Qiyue was about to close the window when she heard a heart-wrenching cry. She immediately put on her cotton jacket and went out.
It turned out that the snow came suddenly last night and the temperature dropped drastically. Many people were still wearing the tattered clothes they wore on the road to escape. They must have been frozen unconscious.
Lin chased after them, and Tang Qiyue whispered, "Mom, please use a casserole to cook a pot of ginger and brown sugar water to drive away the cold for everyone." She was not a kind-hearted person, but humans were too vulnerable to natural disasters.
"Hey hey hey! Mom will cook it right away." Originally, Lin wanted to save the brown sugar for her daughter to drink during her childhood, but who knew... Alas!
The brown sugar water boiled very quickly. Lin specially used the largest casserole to cook it. She first scooped a bowl for each person in the family and gave the rest to Tang Qiyue.
Tang Qiyue handed the brown sugar water to the woman whose child had fainted from the cold, "Drink some, you'll be fine."
For the others who looked pale and like they were about to faint at any moment, Tang Qiyue was generous and gave them all half a bowl of ginger and brown sugar water.
When the casserole was empty, Tang Qiyue returned to the cabin.
Who knew that when she was just about to dress Zhaobao, the woman in front of her own wooden house, holding the child, followed by the man and the mother-in-law, knelt on the ground.
Zhao Sun held her daughter and kowtowed to Tang Qiyue desperately, her head slamming red from hitting the ground. "Thank you for saving my child, thank you. I have nothing to repay you, I can only kowtow to you, benefactor."
Granny Zhao and Zhao Yonghe also kowtowed. They were different from other families in that they did not take their daughters seriously. In their hearts, their daughters were also treasures and their own children.
Tang Qiyue dodged quickly and asked Lin to help the man up. She could not bear such a huge thank you gift.
The others kowtowed to Zhao Sun, and the refugees who had drunk the brown sugar ginger water given by Tang Qiyue also ran over and knelt down to thank Tang Qiyue.
Tang Qiyue suddenly felt his scalp tingling. There were so many people... You know, his father had just been asked to deliver water.
"You guys get up first." Tang Qiyue patted Zhao Bao's little arm, "It's just a bowl of water, you don't have to do this. Instead of thanking me here, why don't you think about what you should do next?"
"What do you mean, benefactor?" Zhao Sun looked up in confusion.
"The snow on the ground hasn't melted yet. I think the snow will get heavier. You should find a place to shelter from the wind and snow quickly, otherwise..." Otherwise, what else could you do but freeze to death?
"Benefactor, can we also build a wooden house?" Zhao Sun looked at the others and stood up with the help of Lin.
They didn't dare to go into the deep mountains. Linjiang Town is now inaccessible and there are no caves outside the mountains. Now they can only learn from Tang Qiyue and build wooden houses to survive.
Tang Qiyue frowned, "How many of you are there? I'm afraid there isn't enough time."
"Should we go down the mountain and beg the people in the village to let us stay there for a while? Building a wooden house is simply impossible." Someone shouted.
This is indeed a solution, but... Tang Qiyue has a bad feeling, the snow is getting heavier, and it will not only be cold, right?
Ancient houses were not as sturdy as modern ones. Once the snow got heavier, the houses might collapse, and the casualties would be even more terrible.
However, Tang Qiyue would not say it out loud because no one would believe what she said. In that case, she would not stop it.
Then many refugees supported each other and walked down the mountain. They were willing to spend some money as long as it could save them from the cold.
Zhao Yonghe and his family did not leave. They still wanted to build a wooden house. It didn't have to be the same as Tang Qiyue's. As long as it could accommodate their family, it would be fine.
Seeing this, Tang Qiyue could only say, "Since you want to build it, then hurry up. Although I'm not sure when the snow will be the heaviest, it won't be far away."
The Zhao family only had Zhao Yonghe as a laborer, so Tang Qiyue asked Tang Laosan and a few others to help. They only needed to build a wooden house to accommodate their family.
The other refugees hoped that the snow would not get any heavier and that they could just wear a few more layers of clothing so they slept leaning against trees. Some also listened to their elders and joined Tang Laosan and his friends in cutting down trees and building wooden houses.
There were not many trees left in this area, so Tang Qiyue simply led a group of people into the mountains. The wild beasts had been scared away by her and would not come out to eat people again, so they could cut down trees without worry.
Since they were going to build a wooden house anyway, everyone just discussed it with Zhao Yonghe and decided to build it together so that it would be faster.
Therefore, every family that wanted to build a wooden house mobilized all their laborers, worked day and night, and built three large wooden houses, so that everyone could live in them comfortably.
The snow was getting heavier, and even though Tang Qiyue and the others lived in the wooden house, they could still feel the coldness in the air. She rubbed her palms, put on Zhaobao's little cotton jacket, and then picked up a cotton hat.
She asked Lin to make this. It is perfect for children to wear. Adults have buns and it is not convenient for them to wear hats. Nannan and Shuyao each have one.
That day, Uncle He came over again. He looked at Tang Qiyue's brand new warm cotton-padded jacket, then looked at his own clothes which were wrapped tightly in layer upon layer but still not warm. His eyes were full of unwillingness, but he lowered his head to hide it well.
Unfortunately, Tang Qiyue has always been very sensitive to bad looks, and she noticed this man's unfriendly look at the first moment.
"Miss Tang, many people have frozen to death. The snow came so fast and so heavily, there is nothing we can do."
"There's no way? There's no way, why are you looking for my daughter?" When Tang Lao San saw Uncle He, he ran over and stood in front of Tang Qiyue with an unhappy look on his face.
Xu Fang touched the machete and said, "Why are you looking for us when someone is freezing to death? Is this our responsibility?"
After the words fell, Xie Changjin and others who heard the voice all came out and surrounded Tang Qiyue.
Tang Qiyue curled the corners of her lips. Although the feeling of being protected was good, she really didn't need it.
She could beat this guy up with just one punch and make him unable to take care of himself.
"Is everything okay?"
Tang Qiyue turned around in surprise and saw Xie Changjin's concerned look. She was stunned for a moment and shook her head, "I'm fine."
"Ah."
baffling.
Tang Qiyue complained in her heart and looked at Uncle He, "You came to me not just to tell me about the death, right? Tell me what you want to do."
Uncle He's legs went weak from being stared at by the group of people, and when he heard what Tang Qiyue said, he didn't dare to breathe for a long time.
"I see you have cotton at home, can we buy some?"
