For three days in a row, Li Yao delivered medicine to Mrs. Wu, barely allowing her to keep up with the large army.

Seeing that Mrs. Wu was getting better gradually, Li Yao breathed a sigh of relief.

Also on this day, it started to snow again in the sky.

Zhu Wu's eyebrows were dull and his expression was stern.

"I can't leave again!"

"This little snow is no problem!" Uncle Cai said. "We've crossed Xiangshan Mountain, and there are only three mountains left. Village Chief, if you walk quickly, we can go to Yunfu to celebrate the New Year!"

Zhu Wu raised his eyes and looked forward.

"Village Chief, the snow is not heavy! Let's go!"

"Cai Si, I know you are impatient. But you also have to take care of the old and young in the village.

You have a large Cai family and support each other, so I know you can make it.

Not every family is like yours! "

Uncle Cai's face turned pale, and the wind made his mouth skin dry and cracked, with a layer of dead skin sticking up.

"I, I'm too impatient! You can discuss it later."

He stepped aside, his eyes full of anxiety.

Long Da sighed next to him, "Listen to the village chief!"

Zhu Wu decided to stop because the snow was getting heavier and the mountain road was rugged. If he was not careful, he might fall.

He didn't understand, how could Cai Si look like a different person?

"Let's go after the snow stops!" Zhu Wu agreed.

Not finding the cave, Zhu Tong and Zhu Hua found a depression.

The people from the new village stopped and stayed in that depression.

Fortunately, the snow has just fallen and the snow on the ground is not very thick.

No one knew how long the snow would last, so they stayed casually for the first two days.

But on the third day, the snow became heavier and heavier. In just half a day, the mountain was covered with snow. From a distance, it looked like it was wearing a white dress.

Zhu Wu also summoned the men who were the heads of each family.

"Get ready to spend the winter here!" he said simply.

"You really don't want to leave?" Uncle Cai said in a daze.

"We can't leave!" Zhu Wu replied bluntly.

Uncle Cai stood up and walked away in a daze.

"What happened to Cai Si? He seems to have become a different person since he was buried in the mud and rocks."

Long Da said, "I also want to get to Yun Mansion as soon as possible, but it also depends on the actual situation!"

Everyone looks at me and I look at you, no one knows what is going on.

"Leave him alone!" Zhu Wu was a little angry.

He made it clear enough last time. There are still a few families like Mrs. Wu in the new village.

Some have lost their mothers, some have lost their fathers, and some are dependent on their grandparents.

The Cai family can walk, but these people really can't.

Once he is the village chief, he must do his job well as the village chief. We will not disregard everyone's lives just because of a few individuals.

Most people don't want to take the risk of climbing over the mountain in heavy snow, because if they are not careful and fall off the cliff, there is no chance of survival.

So they all agree with Zhu Wu's decision.

Wang Zheng and Li Yueyan finished the meeting and immediately went back to settle their homes.

Whether they were leaving or stopping, they were all at Zhu Wu's discretion.

For them, life is everywhere.

"If I had known there wasn't even a cave here, I might as well have spent the winter in the same place."

Wang Zheng muttered.

Li Yueyan smiled and said, "Don't think about it! We've already come this far. We can't look back!"

Wang Zheng took out the electric wood chipper from his bag, "I'll cut down the tree, and you chop off the branches."

Li Yueyan glanced around before nodding.

The two of them worked together to clear out more than a dozen big trees in an hour.

"I'll drag some back first!" Li Yueyan said.

"I'll cut down some more!" Wang Zheng was thinking that his daughter often took care of Mrs. Wu recently, so why not cut down a few more trees and build a smaller shed for their grandparents and grandchildren.

Thinking of this, Wang Zheng thought of Cai Si again. Unexpectedly, Cai Si is still selfish.

After cutting down a few more trees, Wang Zheng quickly cleared the branches.

Put away the electric wood chipper and go to bundle the branches into bundles.

At this moment, he saw Cai Si running into the woods in a hurry.

"What are you looking at?" Li Yueyan had already sent the trees back.

"I saw Cai Si!" Wang Zheng said, "He went into the forest, and he looked like he was running in a hurry!"

"Come and have a look!" Li Yueyan picked up the hatchet, "He's been very strange lately."

Wang Zheng nodded, and the two of them chased Cai Si in the direction he ran.

The ground was covered with a layer of white snow, and Cai Si's footprints were clearly visible.

The two quickly chased him deep into the forest until the footprints disappeared.

"Gone!" Wang Zheng said.

"Well, even the footprints are gone? It's impossible for this person to disappear out of thin air, right?"

Li Yueyan searched around the area.

"strangeness!"

Finding no one, the two of them went back without staying any longer!

When Li Yao and his brothers came to help drag firewood back, Li Yueyan and Wang were walking out of the woods.

"Dad, these trees should be enough!"

"That's enough! Let's take them all back!"

It wasn't until dinner that Li Yueyan and Wang Zheng talked about their visit to Cai Si today.

"Dad, you are mistaken!" Li Jiyun said while holding his rice bowl and eating, "Uncle Cai has been sleeping in their oilcloth shed."

"Sleeping?" Wang Zheng frowned. He could not be mistaken. That person was indeed Cai Si. After getting along for a long time, you can recognize him even if you look at his back, and when Cai Si ran away, he was not far away from him.

"That's right! My sister and I passed by Wu Su's house in the afternoon. I also heard from Sister Cai that her fourth uncle was sick and asked Dr. Qin to get some herbs. My sister also said that she wanted to go in and take a look. Sister Cai said that her fourth uncle was asleep, and she added It doesn’t matter, so my sister didn’t go into their house.”

"Well, that's right!" Li Yao said. "Sister Cai shouldn't lie!"

"Did I really see it wrong?" Wang Zheng touched his forehead. "But who was that person running into the forest? Those footprints were clearly left behind."

Li Yueyan put down the bowl and finished eating.

"I'm just going to Cai's house to have a look!"

Li Yao put down the bowl, "What are you suspecting? Do you suspect that Uncle Cai is in cahoots with bad guys?"

Li Yueyan shook his head and sat down again, "No, I just think he has changed recently."

Li Yao yawned, "We don't have close contact with the Cai family on weekdays, so coming to the door suddenly will only make people suspicious.

If you want to know whether Fourth Uncle Cai is here, just leave it to me.

Anyway, I was going to see him during the day! "

"Then dad will go with you!" Li Yueyan said.

"Master, come with me! Dad, you don't know how to treat a doctor!" Li Yao had already stood up.

Li Yueyan was disliked and was not annoyed at all, "Okay! I'll just dig the stakes at home!"

His helpless look made Su Shi roll her eyes, "It's already dark, let's do it tomorrow! If you're not tired, everyone is tired!"

"Master, let's go!" Li Yao brought Doctor Qin's medicine box.

The master and apprentice walked to Cai's house. In fact, they lived together, so they arrived at Cai's house within a few minutes of walking.

"Yao'er, Doctor Qin, what are you doing here?" After Cai Erniu discovered them, she immediately opened a corner of the oilcloth and called them in.

"Is Fourth Uncle Cai feeling better? Master and I will come to check on him."

Cai Erniu's face suddenly changed and she stammered, "No, no need!"
