Chapter 371 Traveling in the Dark
Zhang also laughed, "Sister-in-law Wu doesn't want to take advantage of our family. She may also feel that it's not good to come here empty-handed."
"But, boss, don't worry, I brought back some yam for my sister-in-law."
"Okay, wife, I trust you to do the job."
As Butcher Yun was talking, he walked into the woods.
Zhang rolled up all the quilts and mats in the carriage.
Then she covered the carriage with a thick layer of hay. After she spread the quilt and mat on top of the hay, the bed became softer and warmer.
Zhang worked quickly. In more than half an hour, she had stuffed all three carriages with hay.
At this time, the hay that Brother Yun and his team had cut was almost used up.
She drank a bowl of hot water and rested for a while. Yun the Butcher came back with the children.
"Boss, bring your brothers and sisters over here to have a bowl of hot water. It's too cold."
"Here we come, mother."
Brother Yun and the others put down the firewood and baskets in their hands, washed their hands, and came over to drink hot water.
Yun Yiyi drank a bowl of hot water before she felt better. She didn't feel cold when she was working in the woods just now.
When I stopped, I felt the wind blowing through my clothes. I was freezing.
Everyone was in the same situation, so everyone took a bowl of hot water and drank it slowly.
"Master, the carriage has been fully stocked with grass. Now bundle up the firewood and grass we brought back and place them outside the carriage. We will use them in the evening."
"Okay, wife. Has the village chief come to urge you?
Zhang shook her head. "The village chief didn't come to urge us. It should have been two hours ago."
Butcher Yun continued, "The village chief should have everyone prepare for the snow today. When we came back, there were still many villagers collecting firewood in the woods."
"If that's the case, it will take some time before we set off."
"Let's work slowly and take a break after we're done. We have a lot of people in our family and our children can do it, so we can take some time to rest."
"Many families in the village haven't collected much firewood so far."
Zhang nodded in agreement, "Boss, after drinking the hot water, you can take your brothers and sisters to the car to rest. If you are tired and sleepy, you can take a nap."
"However, you should take off your outer thick clothes before going to bed."
"I understand, Mom." Brother Yun replied in a low voice.
After a while, the children went to the car to rest.
Zhang and Yun the butcher also bundled grass and firewood skillfully.
After everything is tied up, place them outside the carriage and secure them with ropes.
There seemed to be a lot of hay and firewood, but after they were divided into three carts, there wasn't that much left.
Of course, it does not affect people sitting outside the carriage to catch the train. On the contrary, they can help block some of the cold wind.
"Even if it snows at night, I won't worry." Zhang sighed.
Yun the butcher also sighed, "I hope the snow won't be too heavy."
Butcher Yun looked at the front of the team and saw that everyone was still busy collecting firewood and hay. The village chief was nowhere to be seen.
"Wife, let's put the food and drinks in the car later. I'll go to the Wu family next door to see if there's anything I can help with.
"Okay. Let's get started."
Yun the Butcher guessed correctly, the village chief deliberately left time for everyone to prepare.
It was not until an hour later that Yun the butcher came back from the Yun family next door and the village chief notified everyone to continue their journey.
The fog cleared a little, and everyone could see a mile ahead. However, the sun never came out.
Therefore, the team's speed of travel was also slightly increased.
In winter, it gets dark early.
The Yunjia Village team had been on the road for less than four hours when it was almost dark.
The refugee group in front of Yunjia Village kept moving without stopping, so the village chief of Yunjia Village had no choice but to follow them.
In fact, the main reason was that the village chief was worried about snowing at night, so he wanted to find a temple or a village to stay overnight.
After all, there are many people in the village who need to sleep on the ground. If it really snows, it is not easy to sleep on the ground.
Moreover, over this period of time, the village chief also discovered that as long as he followed the team in front, the places they stopped at were always good.
Either it is close to the woods, so it is convenient to collect firewood, or there is a water source nearby so that you can replenish water.
And they don’t hide it. If they find a water source, they will come and inform us.
"Village Chief, it's getting dark, should we still hurry on?"
"Village chief, if we keep going, it will be dark soon and we will have to light torches."
"Yes, Village Chief, don't we usually stop and rest at this time?"
The village chief also heard the discussions at the back of the team.
He turned around and glanced at everyone. "Don't worry. Let's walk forward and see if we can find a house to stay in."
"Otherwise, if it snows, we won't be able to sleep on the ground."
As soon as the village chief finished speaking, the team fell silent.
"Village Chief, we understand. You are very thoughtful."
"Village Chief, please continue to lead the way. We will follow you carefully."
The village chief smiled and continued driving the car to catch up with the team in front.
However, some refugees stopped to rest as it was getting dark.
The team from Yunjia Village continued to move forward. Later, when it got dark, everyone lit torches and continued on their way.
After walking for more than half an hour, the team in front of Yunjia Village finally stopped.
The village chief also stopped and brought a few people with torches to where they stopped.
Wow, there is a land temple here. No wonder they stopped here.
The village chief raised the torch and saw that the land temple was quite large, with many rooms, which could easily accommodate two groups of refugees.
The village chief found the leader of the team, a very tall and strong man.
"Little brother, I see this land temple is quite big, and there are quite a few rooms. I'm worried it might snow at night, so why don't we all squeeze in together? That way, everyone should be able to stay."
The tall and strong man, Li Huailiang, looked up at the team from Yunjia Village and said, "Okay. I need three rooms here, and you can divide the rest among yourselves."
The village chief immediately smiled and said, "Thank you for your understanding, little brother."
"When you are out and about, help out wherever you can."
"Okay, then you guys go and settle down first. I'll go talk to our villagers."
"it is good."
The village chief led his men back to the team and said, "There is a land temple ahead. We can rest there tonight."
"However, besides us, there is another group of refugees in the land temple. So everyone should be more careful. Don't deliberately cause trouble."
