230. To live

It was more than 70 degrees below zero, and those who still went to look for firewood and food in order to survive, in order to survive, still stopped, and they were afraid that they would never be able to stand up again.

Even the beasts that are usually the most feared are not afraid of them in order to keep warm, just to get the fur on their bodies.

The potential of human beings has to be said to be infinite, and in the face of humans who are hungry and red and are not even afraid of death, the beasts can only escape.

It's all about living.

The people who came to Qinggu Mountain after all the hard work were once again extremely glad that they had won the bet, otherwise they would not be able to stand it when the first wave of cold snap came, especially the elderly and children among them.

There are few people in the mountains here, it is not difficult to find a cave where you can live, and with a cave you can resist the cold to a greater extent, as long as there is enough firewood, and the most important thing on the mountain is firewood.

The mountains here are high and the vegetation is abundant, and you can find old wild vegetables all over the mountains, although the wild vegetables are also frozen, but it is better than eating the bark and eating the soil.

Except for a few others who were really in poor health, most people survived.

The Zeng family, the Liu family, including Qi Xiu's mother's family and his sister's family, were quite lucky, relying on the cave found in advance, coupled with the firewood and bedding they had worked hard to accumulate in front of the extreme cold, the whole family leaned together to survive the days when the temperature plummeted.

Unlike these families, Aunt Sun's family has a slightly better life.

There are many sons and the family is diligent, after coming to the mountain to find a cave where they can live temporarily, except for the children, the family did not dare to stay for a day, looking for food all over the mountain, wild vegetables, wild mushrooms, and even tree bark as long as it can be eaten.

In addition, the sons of the Sun family already know how to hunt, and they have dug a lot of traps with great effort, so that they will not have some harvests every day, but they will have some harvests every three or five times, plus the leftover food before, they can be regarded as able to endure it.

Not only that, but Aunt Sun asked her son to dig a lot of soil and pile it in the cave while the land was not completely frozen.

Thinking about trying to plant, if you can't say it, you always have to give it a try.

Firewood is even more tireless every day to get it, even if the rain stopped and the temperature suddenly plummeted, although only her sons were able to go out later, every time almost all the warm things in the house were wrapped on the son, and the full ginger soup was carried closely.

Even so, every time I come back, it's like going to half a life, and I have to slow down for a while before I can come over, but it makes my grandmother and my wife feel distressed, but in order to survive, it can only be like this, and the temperature in the cave is extremely unbearable without firewood, especially when the children are still young.

In short, all those who survived did everything they could to survive.

……

"I don't know how the show is, which mountain to stay on" In the evening, the Sun family gathered around the fire finished eating dried wild vegetables, mixed with some wild millet and a little bit of coarse grains, and the sun aunt couldn't help but sigh.

Sun Yiliang and his brothers eat more, each meal can be divided into a big bowl, one person and one piece of jerky, but they are the main force who go out to work every day, and they have no strength to find food and bring back firewood.

Aunt Sun and the children of the family are half a bowl of rice, they can't eat enough, but they can't starve to death, but fortunately, they can stay by the fire every day and they can endure it.

"Mother, Sister Xiu is a blessed person, it must be fine, forget that her mother-in-law's family is so good to her, Huajia Village is high, even if the flood comes, there is time to escape to the mountains, besides, Mother, you forgot that the reason why there is still so much food left in our family is not also Sister Xiu's special man to let his man come over to remind her, presumably Sister Xiu's family should also be prepared."

Speaking of this, Sun Yiliang is sincerely grateful to Qi Xiu, if she hadn't asked her man to come over and remind her, the family would have sold most of the grain after the autumn harvest, but fortunately, they listened to the persuasion, and now they feel scared when they think about it.

Of course, their brothers can protect their own food, otherwise even if they have, they will be robbed.

Thinking of the cold and freezing outside, the scene like destroying the world was even more glad that they had the opportunity to leave the crazy mountain and come to the Qinggu Mountain Range.

You can imagine what the situation of those people on the mountain is like at this moment, I am afraid that it is really like purgatory.

"You're right, Xiu Ah is a blessed one, and he must be fine."

Here the grandmother also nodded, he just sighed, in fact, he also understood in his heart that with her man and her village chief father-in-law, if life is better than them, even when you come here, you can't help but think, I don't know which mountain this child is on, but it's a pity that it's too cold now to go far, not to mention the constant climbing over the mountains.

"Don't think about it, that kid must be fine, let's try to live, we can see it one day." Old man Sun patted the old woman's arm, and the next moment he hurriedly put his hand on the fire.

"Hmm," Grandma Sun pulled the quilt up on the old man's lap and nodded.

At the same time, not only the grandmother-in-law was worried about Qi Xiu, but also the Qi family and those who were related to the bend were all worried, but unfortunately when the temperature did not drop rapidly, they also tried to find it, and turned over a few mountains in addition to finding some food, but did not see half of the figure of Huajia Village, and no matter how far away, they couldn't bear it and finally had to give up.

With such a sharp drop in temperature, it is even more difficult to move an inch, and I am afraid that I will not be able to come back if I am far away.

“…… Why did I give birth to such a wolf-hearted girl, this thing that thundered and struck the plague in the sky, and if I didn't admit it, I wouldn't admit it, if I followed this dead girl, why did our family suffer such a big crime, where did they hide in this dead girl, and if we can't find them, what can we do in the future? ……”

Qi Pozi, who was eating a bowl mixed with a few old wild vegetables and wild mushrooms, started again.

"Mother, save some effort, you can't hear you scolding your eldest sister." Boss Qi said weakly, after drinking two bowls of rice, but there was more water and less vegetables, it couldn't stop anything at all.

The family had already begun to collect edible bark, dried and ground it into flour for later use, and wondered if they would have to look at those traps tomorrow, maybe they would have a harvest.

After this experience, the eldest Qi and the two younger brothers have also changed and become much more diligent, if they are not diligent, there is no way to open so many mouths in the family, the old and the young, in terms of physical fitness, only the three brothers are better, and they have to fight to survive.

The most important thing is that there are not many warm clothes at home, and it is impossible to go out all of them, even so the three brothers can only go out with two people each time, which still wears everything that can be worn at home, the head and face, and the neck are tightly covered with only a pair of eyes, and the shoes and feet are wrapped in layers of cloth, and it is also cold to step on the ground.

Whenever this time, Boss Qi hopes to find the eldest sister, but unfortunately the surrounding mountains have been turned around by them when they first came, except for finding a lot of food and catching a few pheasants, there is no one at all.

They dug up and picked a lot of food, as well as the wild fruits that had not fallen on the mountain, and found a chestnut tree, although many of them were bad on the ground, but they still picked and picked all the edible ones and took them home, and roasted them dry by the fire, and they were also not willing to eat.
