Moon frost snow

The village chief stood up and said, "He Yue is right. It's good for everyone to help each other. If you don't want to help, you should think about your own reasons."

Everyone was preparing to go to their homes to clean up usable wood when a yamen runner came on horseback.

The village chief and the villagers came forward, and the village chief bowed and said, "Sir Yamen Runner, what's the matter with you?"

The yamen runner bowed and said, "I am here to check on the casualties in Donghe Village on orders from the Lord."

He then bowed to He Yue and said, "Doctor He, Miss Guo specifically asked me to check on you to see if you are okay. She is very worried about you."

He Yue bowed and said, "Thank you. What's the situation in the city?"

"Several houses collapsed on the outskirts of the city. One family of seven died, and several other families had people killed or injured. Elsewhere in the city, some houses only had cracks. The adults are already sending people to treat them, and have also sent people to each village to check."

He Yue felt relieved when she knew the casualties were not too great. She added, "Thank you for the trip. We have one dead and three injured. Go back and tell your family to send more people to other villages to rescue people! We are here. If you need us, please notify us immediately."

The yamen runner nodded and said, "Okay, I'll take my leave now."

The bailiff rode away on his horse. They had just heard that even people in the city had died, and it was all thanks to He Yue that they were still alive and well.

He Yue and the village chief had originally planned to go to the city, but since the yamen runners had told them the situation, they didn't want to go and cause trouble for the county magistrate.

The village chief took everyone to help He Youcai and others bury Yang. During this special period, it was not convenient to hold a banquet to invite guests to mourn.

They found some wooden boards, bed sheets, incense, paper and candles in the ruins, and carried Yang up the mountain.

Fortunately, the mountains here are intact. Everyone thinks that the feng shui here must be very good and blessed by ancestors.

After burying Yang, He Youcai called Wang Xiaoju and went back to move wood. Wang Xiaoju hugged He Di and said, "I want to take care of Di'er, you go do it yourself!"

He Youcai was unhappy. "Why, your mother-in-law just died and you dared to make a scene? You actually dared to disobey."

He Hua stepped forward and said, "Dad, Mom is not in good health, how can she go to work? You and Uncle San are enough."

He Youcai was unhappy, but with Da Niu and the others by He Hua's side, he didn't dare say anything more.

He had no choice but to leave in shame, and He Youliang followed him to share the money with He Youcai.

The two returned to their homes and saw that no one followed them, so they went home to clean up the usable things. They had no mood to follow others to watch the fun.

Even Aunt Wang, who was always bad-mouthed, stopped saying unpleasant words. Li Xiuer just followed the crowd, glanced at He Yue weakly, and then followed her parents away.

When He Yue's family returned to their home, it was much more difficult than for other families because it was all just a pile of dirt.

Only a few wooden boards on the roof were broken. He Yue said, "Dad, Mom, let's go live in the city! Big brother Xiaozhuang needs to go to school, and they can't come back here every day!"

Xiao Zhuang agreed, "Okay! Okay! Let's go to the city!"

Da Zhuang was silent, so He Youren said, "How can we afford to rent a house? Your mother and I are both farmers, and we don't have any skills. What can we do if we go to the city?"

He Yue said, "Don't worry about the money. I'm here for you. We're going to the city, and I can go to Master's every day to treat patients. We need to rebuild the house after the earthquake, so we need labor. You can go and help out everywhere! Mom will cook for Big Brother Xiaozhuang and other things."

Li Guihua also felt that she really couldn't bear to let Xiaozhuang leave his parents at such a young age.

So he said to He Youren, "Xiaoyue is right. Dazhuang can take care of himself. You can let Xiaozhuang take care of himself. Don't worry."

He Youren thought for a moment and said, "Then let's look for something useful. Let's go to the city tomorrow!"

Xiao Zhuang clapped his hands happily, "Great, we're going to the city."

He Youren and Li Guihua smiled helplessly and went to move the bricks. Dazhuang held He Yue and said, "Sister, do you really think it's better to live in the city?"

He Yue said, "It's not about whether it's good or not, it's about convenience for all of us. When you and Xiaozhuang pass the exam, we'll go to Yudu together. When we become officials, we'll live there. If our parents want to come back, we'll accompany them back to visit. People strive for higher things. I just hope that our family can always be together and live a good life together."

Dazhuang made up his mind and said, "Okay, I will work hard to make my sister live a good life. I will also become a high-ranking official and make you the envy of everyone."

He Yue smiled and said, "Okay, I believe you."

Apart from the things that were brought out, many other things were smashed. As for the food, some of it could still be used, but some had to be wasted.

Fortunately, He Yue had put some food into the space in advance. Because of the pressure from the house, He Youren and the others didn't notice anything wrong with the food.

That night, Xiaoquan woke up. Xiaoshun stayed by his side the whole time. When he saw Xiaoquan crying out in pain, he hurriedly supported him and said, "Brother, you finally woke up? I was so worried."

Xiaoquan opened his eyes and said, "Xiaoshun? Are we dead? Why is it so painful even after death?"

Xiao Shun fed the county lord medicine and said, "They're not dead. We're not dead. Our parents are here with us. But He Yue said they won't wake up for another day or two."

Xiao Quan endured the pain and raised his hand, only to find that his left hand was gone. He panicked and said, "Hand, where is my hand? Where did my hand go?"

Xiao Shun comforted him, saying, "When they came to rescue you, your hand was already broken. Sister He Yue said that if you want to live, the broken hand must be amputated. Brother, don't be sad. As long as you are alive, losing a hand is nothing. From now on, my hand is your hand. I will help you with whatever you do."

Xiaoquan couldn't accept it. He endured the pain and pushed Xiaoshun away. Xiaoshun fell to the ground and the medicine spilled.

Xiaoquan ignored Xiaoshun and went out to look for He Yue. Xiaoshun didn't care about his burned hands, he got up and shouted, "Brother, He Yue said you need to rest, brother, where are you going?"

The villagers were sitting outside the ancestral hall, chatting and resting. After a day's work, they felt less tired after drinking the tea made by He Yue and the others.

Xiaoquan ran out. The village chief saw him and smiled, "Xiaoquan, you're awake. Did you take your medicine? Are you hungry? Do you want to eat something?"

Xiao Quan ignored the village chief. Seeing He Yue not far away, he walked over and said, "Why did you cut off my hand? Give my hand back to me."

Xiao Zhuang was unhappy and stood in front of He Yue and said, "What's your attitude? If it weren't for my sister, you would have died long ago. Now you are alive and well, but you don't know how to be grateful and you come to find fault. Do you still have a conscience?"

Xiao Quan didn't care about anything else. All he could think about was that his hand was gone and it was He Yue who cut off his hand.

Xiao Quan looked at He Yue angrily. "Thank you? She cut off my hand. My hand is gone, and I still want to thank her. Dream on, you stinky girl, damn girl, give me back my hand."
