Take space to raise cubs on the road to escape

Chapter 253
"Let's go back." The village chief nodded, and with the help of his son, he walked slowly to his own home.

Soon the center of the village was empty, except for the raging snowstorm.

"How is the snow clearing going?" He couldn't help asking when he looked at Gu Lan, the butler of Jin, as soon as he entered the door.

"Master, the roof of the main house has been cleaned up, and it's almost finished."

"Okay, let everyone pay attention to safety." Gulan nodded.

"You guys know," Butler Jin hurriedly said.

The two master and servant talked as they walked, and soon came through the front yard and came into the yard.

Through the wind and snow, it can be clearly seen that the roof of the main house is much shorter than the side houses on the left and right. Indeed, the cleaning is almost the same, leaving only two people on the corners, and the others are on the left and right side houses .

Butler Jin, the housekeeper's wife, the two daughters-in-law and Cai Yu were in charge of the snow that fell on the ground, and they were transported to the front yard for the time being.

Seeing that everyone was in a mess, Gu Lan didn't stand by and took off his cloak, shook off all the snow from his hair and brought it into the house, and took the bamboo hat to clean up the falling snow in the panic of Butler Jin. Snow on the roof.

Relying on everyone's efforts and the help of two horses, the shoveled snow was cleared very quickly.

Everyone just shoveled the snow onto the tarpaulin spread on the ground, and then pulled the accelerator to the front yard, which was much faster than using human power, and pulled more at one time.

When the roofs of all the houses are almost cleaned, there is not much snow on the ground.

At this time, it was already half an hour later, but Blizzard still did not slow down, and it still dumped on the ground like it was venting.

The roof that had just been cleaned was soon covered with another layer of snowflakes, and it took at most an hour to clean it again.

With such a busy schedule, noon passed quickly.

During the period, Gu Lan took people to Uncle Li’s place after cleaning up by himself, but they didn’t ask them to help. Li has a lot of family members. When they passed by, except for the snow on the ground, the snow on the roof was cleared. It's almost there.

Seeing that Brother Li and the others wanted to help others, Gu Lan lent Xia Mu and the others to Da Li.

After all, there are only a few people in Lijia Village who are as prosperous as Uncle Li's family, and some even have a family of three.

With only two or three people, I am afraid that the speed of cleaning is not as fast as the speed of snow falling.

They are all from the village. They really need to help each other during this special period. Although Gulan didn't go there in person, the people she sent out will always be more useful than her own. After all, there is only one person when she goes, right?

It was almost dusk when Xia Mu and the others came back, but the wind and snow remained.

For dinner, after working so hard for so long, Gulan deliberately added a portion of stewed beef for everyone. Although it is not much, everyone can share a few slices in their bowls.

Beef is inherently precious and rare, unless the government allows it, it is not allowed to kill indiscriminately, and the chance of being able to buy it is very small. Even if it is bought, it is not enough for the owner's family, and they have no chance to eat it now.

Not to mention how many slices each person gets, but everyone is very grateful to the master after tasting the taste.

After nightfall, the snow still hasn't weakened. Looking at God's driving force, tonight is destined to be a sleepless night for many people.

Just when Gu Lan was about to rest, the clear sound of gongs sounded again in Lijia Village at night.

Let Gulan who had just undressed sit up, looked at the place where the gong sounded and frowned, then put on his clothes and told his son to sleep well, put on a cloak and walked to the door.

The "Golden Steward" opened a door, and Gulan stood at the door and shouted at the Golden Steward who also heard the movement and came out to check.

"Young master?" Only then did Butler Jin realize that the master had also come out.

"Let's see what's going on?"

"Yes, I'll go now, little one." Butler Jin didn't dare to delay, turned around and entered the side.

After waiting for too long, about a quarter of an hour, Butler Jin stood outside the window of the master's bedroom and reported to Gulan.

Young Master, Xia Mu and Li Chui are back. "

Gu Lan, who was practicing calligraphy by the window with the lamp in hand, stopped writing in his hand, "What happened?" asked.

"Back to the son, I said that the government sent someone to remind everyone that the snow is too heavy, and you must clear the snow on your roof every once in a while."

That's right, the sound of the gong just now didn't sound like the broken one from the dean's house, it was too loud and the echo was long.

It turned out to be the government, although he came a little late and didn't do it himself, but he did something. Gu Lan's impression of the government finally improved a little bit.

"Well, I see, butler Jin will work hard for you tonight."

"It's not hard, it's all the little ones' job."

"Well, take the time to rest."

"Yes"

Although Manager Jin promised well, he didn't really take a break. Instead, he called all the men together, held a brief meeting, and made arrangements in terms of personnel. In short, he couldn't be careless tonight.

Gulan didn't take a rest immediately, how could he fall asleep so easily after being woken up, so he continued to practice calligraphy by candlelight.

As for An An, he fell asleep unconsciously as soon as he touched the pillow when he went to bed, and the sound of the gong did not wake him up.

That night, with Steward Jin around, Gu Lan slept well, but the rest of the Li Family Village, except for those who were really serious, almost spent the night in fear.

Not only Lijia Village, but also the villages within a hundred miles around Yunzhou City. They hardly dared to sleep this night, and they had to clear the snow on the roofs every once in a while.

They are all natives of Yunzhou, and no one understands the damage caused by the snow disaster better than them.

Even if they hadn't received a reminder from the government, after an hour or two of heavy snowfall, they couldn't sit still and spontaneously started to clean the roof of their own house, especially those with elders in charge.

The blizzard raged for a while and one night until the early morning. The snow gradually slowed down and turned into fine snow, which also gave a sigh of relief to the people who had been watching all night.

Of course, there are those who have nothing to do and those who have something to do. There will always be some self-righteous, lucky and lazy people.

In addition to the newly built Lijia Village, Yunzhou City spread from east to west, north to south, and within a hundred miles of this heavy snowfall. Almost every village and town had disasters of varying degrees, but fortunately, houses collapsed, and although there were casualties, they were not serious.

Most of these families are lucky people. Of course, there are a few because the family is poor and the quality of the house is not good. Even if they are constantly cleaning, the house cannot bear the pressure and collapses after all due to the heavy wind and snow.

Life was already difficult, but this situation was even worse. Fortunately, the government gave a little subsidy later. Although it was not enough to build a house, it was still a little bit of comfort.

But this is all for later. The difficult night is finally over, and the snow that has fallen for two nights and one day has finally become smaller, which relieves the people who have struggled with the snow all night.

It also made Gu Lan, who woke up early and looked at the fine snowflakes in the air, breathe a sigh of relief.
