"We've arrived?"
Shen Pingqi looked around, trying to find the cave that Lin Mo had mentioned.
Unfortunately, all he saw was darkness.
He turned to look at Lin Mo, a hint of mockery in his eyes:
"Ancestor, where is the cave you mentioned?"
"Could it be that there's no cave here at all, and you, along with outsiders, deliberately tricked us into coming here so you could do something nefarious?"
Lin Mo rolled her eyes. Why did she feel that Shen Pingqi had paranoia?
Is he constantly thinking that someone wants to harm him?
Unable to hold back, she kicked him.
"Go away."
"Ahhh!"
Caught off guard, Shen Pingqi was kicked squarely, and he screamed in pain on the spot.
Deserve it.
Lin Mo scoffed.
I walked straight past him and continued forward.
Shen Pingqi was indignant.
This woman is getting more and more arrogant. She wasn't like this before.
No, he didn't want to swallow this insult.
Shen Pingqi gritted his teeth and chased after him again:
"Didn't you say so? Why are you leaving?"
Lin Mo looked at him like he was an idiot. "If you don't leave, how are you going to get in?"
After saying that, he turned right.
Shen Pingqi sneered. He could see the whole area at a glance, and he just wanted to see how she would embarrass herself.
But after turning a corner, Shen Pingqi's eyes widened, his face filled with shock.
Cave.
There really is a cave.
The entrance to the cave was small, just big enough for a horse-drawn carriage to enter.
Because the cave is located at a bend in the road, and the entrance is obscured by rocks, it is difficult to spot unless you look carefully.
All I can say is that this cave is very well hidden.
Lin Mo ignored the shocked Shen Pingqi and looked at the crowd:
“We’ve arrived. Women, come with me inside to tidy up our lodgings for tonight. Men, go find firewood, the more the better.”
As soon as she finished speaking, Shen Pingqi, who had come to his senses, exclaimed first:
Why should I be the one to go find firewood?
The next second, he was kicked away by Lin Mo.
"Ahhh!"
Shen Pingqi screamed in agony.
Lin Mo withdrew her foot, her face indifferent:
"Doesn't a man claim to be the head of the household? If you're the head of the household, who else should do such a small thing as gathering firewood if not you? Or..."
Lin Mo stared at him with a sinister look:
"Or can't you even do this little thing right? A piece of trash like you doesn't deserve to live. You might as well freeze to death, don't you think?"
Shen Pingqi was furious. After getting up from the ground, he was about to start cursing.
But we accidentally made eye contact.
The next second, he was startled and swallowed back all the words that were about to come out.
This look...
This woman wants to kill me.
"Let's go find it now." Shen Qingyun walked over, grabbed Shen Pingqi, gave Lin Mo a deep look, and then dragged Shen Pingqi away.
He's smart to be sensible.
If he doesn't go, she'll beat him so badly he can't take care of himself.
Lin Mo twitched the corner of her mouth and turned to walk towards the cave.
The cave entrance looks small, but the interior is quite large, easily accommodating thousands of people.
Once inside, Lin Mo chose a relatively flat spot as their territory.
Li Ping also chose a spot right next to them.
After Xu Ping'an and the others brought in firewood and other supplies, Lin Mo told them to go out and continue searching for firewood.
They are currently short of firewood and must prepare enough.
Seeing Li Ping tidying up, Lin Mo shook her head:
"Li Ping, take your son and follow Xu Ping'an and the others. Gather more firewood. Your eldest daughter can take care of this, or you can do it when you get back."
Li Ping paused for a moment, then nodded and led her son out.
She believed in Lin Mo.
After Li Ping left, Lin Mo immediately assigned tasks.
She had Granny Qin and her mother tidy up in the cave.
Then, he took Lin Shuo and Xu Xianyu to go find firewood.
Upon reaching the cave entrance, Lin Mo asked Xu Xianyu and her sister to search the vicinity while she led Lin Shuo forward.
A blizzard is coming, so no one can slack off.
"It's dark and the road is difficult to walk on, so stay close to me."
Lin Mo turned around and spoke carefully to Lin Shuo.
With this coming in and going out, Lin Mo clearly felt that the temperature had dropped significantly.
A blizzard is coming soon.
Lin Mo couldn't help but quicken her pace.
They need to get enough firewood, otherwise these seven days will be very difficult.
"Sis, it's so cold!" Lin Shuo shivered.
"Yes, a blizzard is coming, the kind that only comes around once in a century." Lin Mo said with a serious expression.
"Lin Shuo, now is not the time to be sentimental, we have to hurry up."
Carry a few dead trees back to use as firewood for warmth.
……
Meanwhile, on Lao Wei's side...
He woke up in the middle of the night because he was cold.
After crawling out of the covers, I realized that the wind was blowing so hard that I couldn't open my eyes.
And snowflakes, one by one, fell from the sky.
As the fire gradually died down, Old Wei's expression turned serious.
He didn't know if it was a blizzard.
But he knew that a heavy snowfall was coming.
We can't stay here any longer; if we stay any longer, we're all going to freeze to death.
Without daring to delay any longer, Old Wei immediately got up, looked at the person who had been woken up by the cold and was complaining, and shouted loudly:
"Anyone who doesn't want to freeze to death, get up and pack your things, and head to the cave ahead to take shelter from the snowstorm."
The wind was strong, and it scattered his words.
But this time, no one dared to object.
Instead, they packed their things at an unprecedented speed.
Even when the wind was so strong they couldn't stand up straight and they were shivering from the cold, they could only grit their teeth and continue packing.
Only then did they truly regret it.
Lin Mo was telling the truth; there really was a blizzard.
But it's too late to regret it now.
Old Wei, with a solemn expression, quickly packed his things, put them on the carriage, led his horse, and walked forward with his head down.
At the same time, he would occasionally shout back:
"Quickly, everyone keep up, hurry up."
If you don't want to freeze to death here, hurry up.
No, the temperature is dropping too fast; he feels like he's going to freeze.
Old Wei, whose every step was extremely difficult due to the blizzard, deeply regretted his actions.
He shouldn't have disbelieved Lin Mo.
If he believed Lin Mo, he wouldn't have to suffer this.
Old Wei, his hands trembling, pulled out a wine flask from his pocket and took a big gulp of wine.
The spiciness of the alcohol brought him a warmth and a boost of strength.
Now, he wanted to thank Lin Mo for letting him keep the wine warm.
Otherwise, with this sudden drop in temperature, the wine would definitely freeze.
Old Wei carefully put the wine flask back into his bosom, warming the wine with his body heat.
Leading the horse, he looked back:
"Quickly, everyone follow."
And at that moment, someone screamed:
"Son, quick...quick, hold your mother tight! Be careful!"
"Ahhh, the snowstorm is so strong, it's like we're being blown away, we can't move at all."
……
Before the heavy snow arrived, Lin Mo and Lin Shuo each dragged back two trees.
Those who had gone out to gather firewood had all returned.
They were all gathered around the fire, warming themselves and eating.
When they looked at Lin Mo, their eyes were filled with gratitude.
If it weren't for Lin Mo, they would probably be braving the wind and snow to get here by now.
If she hadn't sent them to gather firewood, they wouldn't have any firewood to burn for warmth right now.
At this moment, they were filled with gratitude towards Lin Mo.
Lin Mo, after dragging the tree back, took a breath and went to find Xiao Liuzi.
They borrowed his sword and then started cutting down the tree.
Such a big tree, if we don't cut it down to a smaller size, we won't be able to burn it.
And just leaving it there takes up space.
This scene made Xiao Liuzi, who was standing to the side, feel extremely distressed.
"Mrs. Xu, be careful. Don't treat this knife like a knife. Look, the blade is almost bent."
Lin Mo smiled:
"Without firewood, we can't even save our lives, what's the point of having this knife?"
If it gets damaged and we're still alive, I'll buy you a new, better one.
As he spoke, he started chopping again.
Xiao Liuzi agreed.
He looked towards the cave entrance, listening to the howling wind outside and the occasional snowflakes drifting in, a look of worry creeping onto his face:
"I wonder how Brother Wei and the others are doing?"
"Suffering and hardship are unavoidable," Lin Mo replied directly.
But she didn't know how many people would make it this far.
This scene never happened in my past life.
In their past life, when the blizzard came, they were at a post station.
Although the post station was dilapidated, it at least provided shelter from the wind and snow.
Just then, Liu Ying came over with a steaming bowl of soup:
"Momo, stop for now. You've been hungry for so long. Drink some soup to warm yourself up before you eat."
Upon seeing Xiao Liuzi there, he quickly asked:
"Sixth Master, have you eaten? Why don't you eat something with me?"
"No need, I've already eaten." Xiao Liu shook his head. "Madam Lin, please don't call me Sixth Master, just call me Xiao Liu."
Liu Ying smiled shyly, and seeing that Lin Mo hadn't drunk her drink, she quickly urged her to drink it.
In this cold weather, the soup cools down very quickly.
Lin Mo nodded and quickly drank it.
After she finished eating, she handed the bowl to her mother.
Looking up, she said, "Mother, have Granny Qin and the others boil a few pots of ginger water. There's ginger in the carriage."
When Master Wei and the others arrive, let them drink a bowl to ward off the cold.
Otherwise, I'm afraid I'll get sick.
Liu Ying nodded to indicate that she understood, and then took the bowl and chopsticks back.
Xiao Liu looked up and said, "Mrs. Xu, you are a good person."
nice guy?
Lin Mo laughed and shook her head, "Little Liu, I'm not a good person."
I did this for our own sake.
If they are all sick, they will definitely infect us as well.
Here, medicine is scarce, and people can't afford to get sick.
Xiao Liu shook his head, not taking the subject.
The lack of medicine applies to others, but it certainly doesn't include them.
The Xu family has quite a few good things.
boom!
While he was in a daze, Lin Mo swung his knife at the tree trunk, but unexpectedly the blade curled up.
Xiao Liuzi's heart ached when he saw it.
At that moment, he couldn't help but wail.
Lin Mo shook her head, "Don't blame me, the quality of your knife is poor."
Don't worry, I'll get you an even better one after the blizzard passes.
Xiao Liu was on the verge of tears, blaming the knife for being of poor quality.
Waaah, that's a knife, not an axe.
If you use it as an axe, how could you possibly withstand it?
He stared at her longingly.
"Mrs. Xu, you said you would compensate me with an even better one."
"Okay, I'll compensate you!"
