Xiao Chi has been teaching them to call her "Mom" recently. When he said that, Xiao Suisui and Xiao Youyou looked at Song Yao and called her "Mom" in a baby voice.

The call of "mother" from grandma almost melted Song Yao's heart.

"Dabao and Xiaobao are so good, come here and let your mother kiss you." Song Yao squatted in front of them and kissed them both.

"What did you buy?"

After Song Yao sat aside, she looked at Xiao Chi and said, "I went to buy vegetables, grain, oil, flour, and cotton clothes for the soldiers."

"You don't need to wear cotton clothes in this weather."

Song Yao explained: "You don't need to wear it now, but you have to wear it when it snows in a few days. Otherwise, they will get cold and sick, which will only cause more trouble."

"That's right." Xiao Chi smiled lightly, "You're very thoughtful."

"Of course!" Song Yao said, "Girls are very delicate and can think of many things that you men can't think of."

"That's right." Xiao Chi smiled helplessly. To be honest, sometimes he was really not as good as Song Yao.

"My eldest brother and his friends are out hunting. We can have a barbecue tonight, light a few bonfires, sing and dance. It's really nice, really nice."

Xiao Chi smiled helplessly, "You seem to like it very much."

"I like the hustle and bustle, hehe." Song Yao stood up, "I'm going out."

"Okay." Xiao Chi stared at Song Yao. As long as she was there, his eyes would always be on her.

He really loves her. If he is given a choice one day, he will be willing to give everything for her, even if it means sacrificing himself.

……

The weather was getting colder and colder. When they set out the next day, a cold wind was blowing. Even though the soldiers on horseback were wearing helmets, the cold wind still hurt their faces.

Song Yao was indeed thoughtful, because it started snowing three days after they set out.

The snow was not heavy at this time, so they continued on their journey. Before dark, they chose a plain to set up camp.

That night, a fire was lit in every tent.

When Song Yao and Xiao Chi were warming themselves by the fire in the tent, Xiao Heyu, General Luo, and E Yu all came into the tent.

Seeing that they were all here, Song Yao pointed to the chairs beside her and said, "Everyone, please take a seat."

After Xiao Heyu and the others sat down, General Luo said, "Miss Song Yao, if it snows heavily tomorrow, will we still be able to travel?"

E Yu said: "Yes, if it snows heavily, we will be fine, but if the other soldiers walk, they will definitely not be able to bear it."

Xiao Heyu said, "I mean to stay and wait until the snow melts before we leave. Song Yao, what do you mean?"

Song Yao said without hesitation: "If it snows a lot, and the snow is very thick all around, then we naturally can't move forward. Although attacking the Great Dynasty is important, the safety of the soldiers is more important. At that time, we can stay and wait for the snow to melt before leaving."

General Luo asked worriedly, "Is the food enough?"

Song Yao pursed her lips and smiled, "General Luo, please rest assured, there is enough food and grass."

"That's good." said General Luo.

"Yes." Song Yao said, "What you should worry about is firewood, not food."

General Luo said, "The firewood is easy to get. I'll go and tell them to go and chop some firewood nearby, so we can get it back if it snows heavily tomorrow and it becomes difficult to chop trees."

"Go ahead." Song Yao said.

"Yes!" General Luo stood up, bowed, and left.

Xiao Heyu said, "This is how it is when marching and fighting these days. As long as the weather isn't bad, it's fine. But if it's freezing cold, the soldiers will be the ones who suffer the most."

"That's right!" Song Yao said, "So if it really snows heavily, we shouldn't rush to leave. The Great Dynasty is here anyway, and it won't grow legs and fly away, so we don't need to be so anxious."

Xiao Heyu couldn't help laughing, "You're right."

Seeing that Xiao Sui Sui and Xiao You You were not in the tent, E Yu asked, "A Yao, where are Xiao Sui Sui and the others?"

Song Yao said: "Sister Yingying and Lingyue took them out."

E Yu frowned, "It's so cold outside. If I catch a cold, it will be troublesome."

Song Yao said, "We took them to the next tent. There was a fire in the tent, so they were fine."

"Okay!" E Yu stood up, "I'll go see them."

"Okay!" Song Yao nodded.

After E Yu left, Xiao Heyu also left.

Only Song Yao and Xiao Chi were left in the tent.

In the afternoon, it was just a light snowfall, but after dark, the snow became visibly heavier.

By three quarters past midnight, heavy snow had already fallen.

When Song Yao came back from the toilet, she was a little worried when she saw such heavy snow.

Entering the tent, Song Yao said, "Xiao Chi, the snow outside is getting heavier. There will definitely be a thick accumulation of snow tomorrow."

Xiao Chi raised his eyes and looked at Song Yao who was walking over. "If there is really no other way, let's stay here for a few days and leave after the snow melts."

"Oh." Song Yao sighed and sat next to Xiao Chi. "It better not be like last winter, when the snow just melted and then it snowed heavily again, leaving us with very few supplies."

Seeing that her hands were a little red, Xiao Chi took the initiative to hold her hands and warm them for her. "It shouldn't be that unlucky, but don't worry too much. If you pass by other capitals in the future, go in to resupply supplies first, so you don't have to worry about running out of ammunition and food."

"That's for sure. Haven't you noticed that whenever I pass through the capital, I always go to resupply supplies first?" Song Yao pulled out his hand from hers. "It's getting late. Everyone's asleep. Let's go to bed too."

"Your hands are a little cold, let me warm them up for you." Xiao Chi said considerately.

"Then the bed will be warm, hehe." Song Yao grinned and climbed onto the bed.

The tent is not big and there is no ventilation. After lighting a charcoal fire, the tent becomes very warm.

It wasn't that cold in the tent, so Song Yao slept until dawn.

After getting out of bed and putting on clothes, Song Yao glanced at Xiao Chi who was still sleeping soundly. Not only was he still sleeping, but Xiao Suisui and Xiao Youyou were also still sleeping.

Song Yao didn't disturb them, put on her clothes and went out.

But when the curtain of the tent was opened, Song Yao saw a vast expanse of snow outside. Everywhere he looked, it was all white.

The snow was extremely thick and it was still falling.

Song Yao sighed. It seemed that they were destined to stay here for a few more days.

"Is it still snowing?"

Xiao Chi's voice came from behind Song Yao.

Since I just woke up, my voice is still a little hoarse.

Song Yao turned around, glanced at him, and then said, "Well, it's still snowing heavily, and the snow around us is also very thick. We can't move on."

"There's no other way, so let's stay here for a few days and leave after the snow melts." Xiao Chi hugged Song Yao from behind.

Song Yao was worried that someone outside would see them, so she pulled his hand away and turned to go into the tent.

"There are only men here, and you shouldn't be more careful." Song Yao walked to the charcoal brazier and sat down. Xiao Chi got up last night to add charcoal, so the charcoal fire in the brazier was burning brightly.
