When Mu Niuniu was about to persuade him again, he saw Cheng Zishi coming in the heavy snow and hurried to meet him.

"Sir, it's snowing so hard, why are you here?"

He invited Cheng Zishi to the main room to warm himself by the fire.

Cheng Zishi said no, "I'm here to take Pingping to town."

"By the way, let me ask you if there is anything you want to buy."

"I just went to the village chief's place, and he asked me to buy some things."

"Yes, yes, yes!" Zhu quickly asked Old Man Mu to fetch the silver and said to Cheng Zishi, "Please, Mr. Cheng, please buy some rice, flour, vegetables and meat for us."

"These things are not afraid of spoiling, so it's better to store more."

"Mr. Cheng, it's snowing so hard, can you get into town?"

Cheng Zishi said, "It's not a big problem."

"Pingping and I should be staying in town for a few days, so you don't have to worry."

The Mu family was not worried at all.

Liu quickly packed a set of clothes and two pairs of shoes for Mu Pingping, and stuffed two taels of silver into his pocket.

She warned, "Pingping, when you get to town, listen to Mr. Cheng, okay?"

She felt really uncomfortable seeing Pingping like this.

Mu Pingping hummed softly, took the bag and followed Cheng Zishi.

Father Mu sighed and said, "Pingping has become like this since he attended the banquet that day."

"Big brother is thinking too much." Mu Niuniu curled his lips, "I really don't understand why big brother thinks so much."

"If you have the time to think so much, you might as well study hard."

"At the very least, help out at home."

Mu Baobao and other children agreed.

"If Grandpa hadn't mentioned it, I would have forgotten about the banquet."

"Yeah, I forgot too. Now I'm just thinking about finishing the homework assigned by the teacher as early as possible every day so that I can have time to play."

Old Man Mu listened to the children's conversation, wondering whether this was a good idea.

But when he thought about Pingping, he felt that it was good for the children to be like this.

At least, it won't be like Pingping, who became like that just by attending a party.

"Everyone come into the main room and warm yourself by the fire."

The family went into the main room to warm themselves by the fire.

"Mu family, Mu family, are you there?" Zhang family's wife shouted outside.

Zhu quickly put on her thick coat and came to the door.

"Come in quickly and warm yourself by the fire in the main room."

The two of them came to the main room one after another to warm themselves by the fire.

The old woman from the Zhang family stood by the brazier, stamped her feet, and exhaled several times. "I came here to tell you that there seem to be outsiders near our village."

"An outsider?" Zhu didn't understand. "Is she from another village? Or a married daughter?"

The Zhang family's wife looked strange. "Neither of them, they look like refugees."

As soon as the word "refugees" came out, Zhu and others gasped.

"Grandma, what are refugees?" Mu Baobao was puzzled. "Is it the people who are on the move?"

Zhu said with lingering fear, "He is a bad guy who specializes in doing bad things."

Mu Baobao's eyes widened. "Why are the refugees outside our village?"

"It might be due to the snowstorm," said the Zhang family's wife worriedly. "I don't know how many people have lost their homes because of this snowstorm."

“If my son hadn’t gone out today to see if he could get to town, I wouldn’t have known there were refugees outside the village.”

"You have to be careful. Those refugees will do anything for food and drink."

Her son originally thought that if he could go to town, he would buy some food and daily necessities.

Zhu looked at Old Man Mu worriedly, "Old man, this..."

Father Mu thought for a moment and said, "Boss, from tonight on, the three of you will keep watch together."

"If there's any movement, don't rush to look. Ensuring your own safety is the most important thing, understand?"

Boss Mu agreed, "Dad, our family has many young and strong people, we are not afraid of those refugees."

He had more than ten sons and grandsons in his family, and those refugees did not dare to touch his family easily.

Father Mu glared at him and said, "We don't know how many refugees there are."

"If the refugees are numerous and ferocious, there's nothing they wouldn't dare do."

"In short, you have to be more careful recently."

Zhu sent Zhang's mother-in-law out and was very grateful to her.

Mu Baobao was thinking about whether to ask the animals in the mountains for help, but she was just thinking about it.

There was such heavy snow and it was winter, so many animals in the mountains were hibernating and she couldn't disturb them.

What should I do then?

the other side.

When the village chief learned from Zhang's wife that there might be refugees, his face changed drastically.

He knew very well what refugees meant.

"This is serious."

He kept smoking his pipe, thinking about how to deal with this matter. "For a bite to eat, refugees can commit murder and arson."

"They don't care if it snows heavily."

For refugees, they are willing to kill people as long as they can find a place to live and something to eat.

The Zhang family's wife asked, "Village chief, do you want to organize the young men in the village to patrol?"

The village chief said, "The snow is too heavy, it's not suitable."

"Besides, if the refugees get violent, they can kill people."

"I was still thinking there might be disaster victims."

The snowstorm was so severe that there must be victims, but they had not yet reached the vicinity of their village.

Mrs. Zhang became increasingly worried. "Village Chief, what should we do?"

The village chief was also thinking about this, "Are there many refugees?"

Mrs. Zhang said, "My son said that it's hard to see because of the heavy snow. There might be a lot."

The village chief thought about it for a long time but couldn't come up with a good solution. "You go back first. I'll go and inform every household to be careful."

For the time being, we can only inform each household to be careful.

When the village chief was notifying Cheng Zishi's family, a flash of inspiration suddenly came to his mind.

It was the village chief that Doctor Deng was meeting: "Village Chief Gang said that there are refugees outside the village?"

The village chief knelt down in front of him and pleaded, "Doctor Deng, I'm begging you to help me solve this problem."

"I know my request is excessive, but I really have no choice."

Doctor Deng helped him up and said, "Village Chief, please tell me the details first."

The village chief sighed, "I don't know the specific situation, I just know there may be refugees outside the village."

"There's so much snow that I can't see clearly what's going on."

"I'm thinking there might really be refugees, or maybe they are disaster victims."

Doctor Deng had once followed the imperial relief team to provide disaster relief, and he understood what the victims and refugees would do just to get a bite to eat.

"In this way, I will send someone to investigate this matter first."

The village chief felt a little relieved and thanked him repeatedly, "I will arrange for young and middle-aged people to go around the village, but the effect will not be very good."

With such heavy snow, you have to get closer to see people clearly. It is too easy for those refugees to hide.

Just as Dr. Deng nodded, he heard a scream.

"Robbery! Someone broke into the village and robbed it!"

The village chief reacted the fastest and rushed out almost as soon as he heard the sound.

That figure was so sharp that it didn't look like that of an elderly person.

Doctor Deng summoned two secret guards and ordered them, "Go and check the situation. Be careful."

I hope it’s not refugees or disaster victims entering the village.

If that were the case, the situation would be dire.
