Reborn amidst natural disaster, my childhood sweetheart and dad help me stock up and win effortlessl

Around 1 p.m., Ye Jingmo put on his clothes, grabbed a shovel, and went out the door.

They ran into Qin Yu, who happened to be leaving the house.

Qin Yu, dressed in thick clothes, quickened his pace upon seeing Ye Jingmo, and his breath formed a mist around him as he spoke.

"What a coincidence, I ran into Jingmo as soon as I stepped out. I was just about to call you to ask."

Ye Jingmo waited for Qin Yu for a moment.

Traveling with someone in this freezing weather is much safer than going out alone.

Qin Yu and Ye Jingmo chatted as they walked toward the meeting point.

However, Qin Yu did most of the talking, while Ye Jingmo listened, occasionally adding a few words in response.

At the meeting point, some people were already waiting there.

Ye Jingmo and Qin Yu first registered their names at the registration desk, then found a corner to lean against, blocking the wind and snow from hitting them.

Most people at the meeting point were wearing thick coats made up of thin autumn clothes.

Occasionally, you can see people in unsteady clothes, their hands and feet turning blue and their bodies shivering after being exposed to the cold wind, trying to keep their body temperature by moving around in place.

Ye Jingmo's eyes darkened; it seemed that people's lives were probably very difficult.

"Jingmo, do you have enough firewood? Do you need to go up the mountain to cut some?"

Qin Yu spoke to Ye Jingmo, his face showing bitterness.

“We had stockpiled a batch of firewood, thinking it might be enough for the winter, but look how low the temperature is, the firewood doesn’t burn very well at all.”

Ye Jingmo pondered for a moment, then shook his head and refused.

"We still have some firewood at home, enough to last us for a while, so we don't need to go up the mountain yet."

It's still very dangerous to go up the mountain in this weather. If you have enough firewood for now, it's best to wait for the snow to stop.

If all else fails, I'll share some with you.

Hearing Ye Jingmo's refusal, Qin Yu's face fell even more. He had originally wanted to ask Ye Jingmo and Jiang Li to go up the mountain together, so that the four of them could avoid most of the dangers.

Now that Ye Jingmo has refused, he can't force her.

It seems the only option is to look for a firewood stall at the market.

People kept pouring into the meeting place, and the area quickly became bustling with noise.

Soon, someone noticed Ye Jingmo and Qin Yu standing in the corner.

The two of them, dressed in thick coats, stood out conspicuously among a group of people wearing thermal underwear for warmth.

Those who were quick-witted and shameless went straight up to Ye Jingmo and Qin Yu to start a conversation.

"Hey buddy, are you a local? I've never seen you before I lived in this villa area."

"..."

Ye Jingmo and Qin Yu both wore cold expressions and remained silent in the face of these people.

The soldiers began assigning personnel to clear snow from different areas.

Ye Jingmo and Qin Yu were assigned to the same team, responsible for cleaning a path behind their villa.

You could say they were very lucky.

inside the villa,

Jiang Li lay listlessly on the sofa, not remembering a single thing about the TV series playing on the tablet in front of her.

Her gaze kept drifting outside, wondering when Ye Jingmo would return.

"Ding ~"

Jiang Li quickly opened the message from Ye Jingmo and learned that Ye Jingmo was cleaning the road behind their villa.

Jiang Li took a quick leap, wearing fluffy slippers, and stomped up to the third floor.

The heating was on in the third-floor growing room, and the crops inside were growing lush and green, showing no signs of being damaged by the cold.

Blackie and Whitey are playing on the running wheel with great enthusiasm in their cage.

When they saw Jiang Li come in, they thought she was going to give them food, so they immediately climbed off their running wheels and waited for Jiang Li by the food bowl.

However, Jiang Li's focus this time wasn't on them. She quickly walked to the window, took out a telescope from her spatial storage, and peered outside.

After waiting for a few minutes, Jiang Li saw a group of people carrying shovels walking over through her binoculars.

Leading the way were soldiers in military green overcoats, followed by a loosely organized group of people.

Every time a soldier walked a prescribed distance, he would split the people behind him into two groups to clear the snow.

As Jiang Li watched Ye Jingmo and Qin Yu clearing away a section of snow, her worries gradually subsided.

With familiar people around, she didn't have to worry about Ye Jingmo being taken advantage of.

Although Jiang Li's worry was somewhat unnecessary, even if Ye Jingmo were alone, he would definitely not let himself suffer a loss.

He might even cause the other party to suffer a loss.

But Jiang Li was so concerned and anxious that she didn't consider any other factors.

After watching Ye Jingmo shovel snow for a while, Jiang Li put down her binoculars, sent him a message telling him to stop and open the door.

I went back to the living room on the first floor, found a comfortable position to sit on the sofa, and put the tablet on my lap.

Before she could even press the pause button on the video, there was a rhythmic knocking at the door.

Hmm, that's strange?

Jiang Li was filled with doubt. Who would come knocking on her door in this kind of weather?

Ye Jingmo was still shoveling snow outside; it was impossible for him to get back so quickly.

However, given the freezing weather, Jiang Li had no desire to go to the door to check, so she simply went upstairs and turned on the surveillance system.

The machines ran slowly in winter, and Jiang Li was getting impatient before the computer screen finally showed a picture.

Just looking at the image on the computer screen, Jiang Li's hand holding the mouse seemed to stiffen, her back felt cold, and the hairs on her body stood on end.

A black bear the size of an adult male stood outside the gate, its thick paws rhythmically knocking on the door, occasionally turning its head to observe its surroundings.

It seemed to be alert to any movement or disturbance around it.
