Huang Linghua made a prompt decision and gave the order: "Let's go! Let's go in and take a look!"

Everyone responded and filed in along the narrow path.

As soon as they stepped into the path, they found that the road was covered with weeds and thorns on both sides, as if telling the vicissitudes and silence of the years.

Perhaps it is because this place has been closed all year round and few people set foot here, coupled with the shelter of the towering trees above, that the wind and snow from the outside world cannot erode this peaceful place.

The road under my feet was not clean. Thick dead grass and rotten branches were intertwined to form a soft carpet.

Every step you take will cause a slight sinking, but it gives people a strange sense of comfort.

At first glance, the road seemed to be only wide enough for one person to pass sideways.

However, when people actually walk into it, they realize that the environment here is far more complicated than they imagined.

The thorns and branches were intertwined, making it extremely difficult to move forward.

Moreover, the space above the head is quite cramped. An adult of normal height finds it difficult to walk upright and can only bend over to move among the lush branches and leaves.

"Has my brother-in-law been here?" Huang Linghua asked softly.

Yu Lin shook his head and said, "After meeting Yue Niang, she decided to leave Yucheng with me. Before leaving, she and I came here to pay respect to my father-in-law and mother-in-law, but that was more than ten years ago. Now, this place may have changed a little, and with the wind and snow, I couldn't recognize this place at once."

He paused and continued, "However, I didn't know there was a path behind this tomb. Maybe Yue Niang had already agreed to leave with me at that time, and coming here again would only make people sad, so she didn't tell me about this path."

Huang Linghua nodded in agreement: "Well, it's possible that my cousin herself doesn't know."

Whether Zhang knows about this or not, we may have to wait until she wakes up to find out.

Huang Linghua stared at the front with sharp eyes and gave orders decisively: "Open the way ahead and clear the mess in the path!"

The Phoenix Servant obeyed the order without hesitation, moving nimbly between the paths and quickly clearing away any obstacles that blocked their way forward.

Yu Lin carefully carried Zhang on his back and followed closely behind.

He walked steadily, as if he was carrying the weight of the world.

Then, Huang Linghua and Cai Wen went to the carriage together and gently took Yu Anan and Yu Ju in.

The two cute little guys were wrapped in a thick quilt, like two precious gems, well protected from the slightest wind and snow.

What is surprising is that despite such a loud noise outside, they are still sleeping quietly, as if the outside noise has nothing to do with them.

The trail was not long, but it still took everyone about half a quarter of an hour to reach the end.

When they reached the end of the trail, they were shocked by what they saw - it was the backyard of a dilapidated farmhouse.

This cottage has obviously gone through a lot of hardships. One and a half of the three remaining rooms have collapsed, leaving only one room barely habitable, and the other half is also shaky, as if it could collapse at any time.

Faced with such a scene, everyone felt an inexplicable emotion in their hearts.

Everyone speculated that, if nothing unexpected happened, the small house in front of them must be the place where Zhang lived when he was a child.

However, what is unexpected is that there is a hidden path connecting this place with the tombs outside, which is really unexpected.

Although this house has been uninhabited for many years and looks rather simple, it can at least shelter from the wind and snow.

The Phoenix attendant and the servants quickly moved to clean the hut and spread a blanket on the floor. Then, Yu Lin carefully carried Zhang into the house and lit a bonfire to keep warm.

The cottage had some leaks due to years of disrepair. After settling Zhang down, Yu Lin immediately set about repairing the leaks.

Fortunately, Huang Linghua brought a lot of people on this trip. With their help, the whole process became relatively easy and quick.

As the leaks were blocked one by one, the light in the cabin gradually dimmed.

The servants lit candles, which together with the bonfire illuminated the entire room.

Yu Lin and Huang Shi went out to find a lot of firewood, and brought some not-so-good news.

"The wind has died down a lot, but the snow is getting heavier." Yu Lin looked worried. He was not worried about anything else but Yu Youyou.

Since he left in the morning, he still doesn’t know where he is now.

Huang Linghua instructed the wet nurses to take good care of Zhang and the children, while she discussed the next plan with Cai Min and Yu Lin.

"It seems we have to spend the night here. I don't know if we can continue our journey tomorrow. It will be much better if we reach Yucheng." Huang Linghua said.

Yu Lin nodded and agreed, "Let's wait until Yue Niang wakes up. After all, she has lived here before. When she wakes up, we can listen to her opinion. If it really doesn't work, we can just live here first."

“But…” Yu Lin raised his head and looked around, a trace of worry flashing between his eyebrows: “If the snow continues to fall heavier and heavier, I’m afraid this old house will not be able to withstand it!”

Cai Wen frowned and said, "We can only pray that we can survive tonight. When tomorrow morning comes, we will reinforce the structure of the house a little bit, and it should be fine."

Yu Lin nodded silently in agreement.

The light was extremely dim at night, making it extremely inconvenient to do anything.

In addition, there is a raging snowstorm outside, and there are many unknown dangerous factors lurking.

When he went out to look for firewood just now, Yu Lin took advantage of the last ray of weak light to quickly look at the location of the cabin.

Surprisingly, this place does not seem to be on flat ground, but rather seems to be located halfway up a mountain.

Faced with such a strange situation, everyone felt at a loss and confused for a moment.

These strange things may only be explained after Zhang wakes up.

The bonfire in the house was crackling, and the servants had already started preparing simple meals.

Yu Lin also took out some potatoes and sweet potatoes from the dry food he brought and threw them directly into the fire.

Cai Wen frowned and asked, "What are you doing?"

In Yujia Village, they also ate a lot of food made from potatoes and sweet potatoes.

But they are all steamed, fried, stewed and cooked, I have never seen this method before.

Yu Lin smiled and explained: "This is another way to eat it, called baked potatoes and baked sweet potatoes."

"Youyou likes roasted sweet potatoes the most."

At this point, Yu Lin's smile faded a little, and there was a little more worry in his eyes.

Seeing this, Huang Linghua comforted him, "Don't worry, Youyou is not an ordinary person, and Master Baihu is with you, so nothing will happen."
