Natural disaster at the beginning: I will lead the system to build a safe zone

After Li Zimu left, Li Changlin wanted to go with him to see Doctor Li, so he followed him.

After the two men left, Zhang looked at Li Hu's face and asked, "Boss, are we going to Guangming Village?"

Li Hu couldn't help coughing again: "Ahem, but where are we going to live if we go there? My brother-in-law's family is having a hard time too, we can't always bother them."

Zhang's face was grim: "But your cough is getting worse. Maybe then the girl..."

Li Hu raised his hand to stop her from continuing: "No need to say more, we are not from Guangming Village. Miss Shi has saved me once, and we have nothing to repay her, so how can we be so shameless to go a second time."

"Now that Doctor Li is back, I'll ask him to take a look at me when the time comes."

Li Hu was unwilling, and Zhang had no choice but to sigh helplessly.

In the following days, the temperature dropped more and more dramatically, reaching a minimum of minus 20 degrees Celsius.

This has broken the perception of the people here. They have never seen such a cold winter.

The wind and snow still did not stop. Even if we swept the snow every day, the door would be buried in snow in less than half a day.

Few people have cotton clothes to keep warm at home. In previous years, Lingnan was not so cold, so few people planted cotton.

People in both the town and Changle Village were shivering in their houses and could only rely on burning firewood for warmth. However, if they burned firewood directly in the wooden house without opening the windows, they would be unable to breathe due to the smoke. If they opened the windows, the wind and snow would all blow into the house, and the little warmth that had just risen would immediately disappear.

Not to mention that wooden houses themselves are prone to fire. If you are not careful, you may lose the house.

Families with better conditions can burn charcoal for heating, but charcoal is limited and not many families can afford to burn charcoal.

Li Changlin got up early in the morning to sweep the snow.

Since Li Hu is an open-minded father and does not follow the old-fashioned concept of not dividing the family while the father is still alive, Li Changlin's eldest and second brothers moved out to live their own lives after getting married. Only Li Changlin, who is unmarried, still lives with his parents for the time being. Naturally, the job of sweeping the snow falls on him?

Li Changlin shivered as he cleaned the snow off the roof. Due to the drop in temperature, the snow was not as fluffy as before. Instead, it felt like ice, making it increasingly difficult to clean.

He has to sweep at least three times a day to ensure that the roof of their house is not collapsed by the heavy snow.

But their family's luck was not good today.

"Bang--" The loud noise startled Li Changlin, who was concentrating on sweeping the snow, and he trembled. Zhang, who heard the noise in the house, also hurried out.

"What's wrong? What's wrong?" I heard the voice before I saw the person.

Zhang opened the door and took a closer look, then slapped her thigh and said, "Oh my! Our kitchen has collapsed!"

Li Changlin, who was frozen stiff, sniffed and turned around to see that the kitchen had indeed collapsed.

He and Zhang hurried to clean up and see if they could move the rice, iron pots and other utensils out.

But then there was another noise, and the woodshed collapsed, and all the firewood they had stored with great difficulty was buried in the snow.

Zhang was distressed and anxious, and couldn't help crying out: "Oh, God, this house has collapsed, how can we live!"

Hearing Zhang's cries, Li Hu, who was becoming increasingly weaker, could no longer sit still. But as soon as he stood up and opened the door, he was stimulated by the cold wind and started coughing violently, as if he wanted to cough out all his internal organs.

The injured head became even more painful due to the violent coughing.

Zhang came back to her senses, sniffed, and ran towards him worriedly: "Master, don't come out. The cold wind will make your illness worse."

A few days ago, Zhang went to Doctor Li's house and got him some medicine to dispel the wind and cold, moisten the lungs and relieve cough. However, Li Hu did not feel any better after taking the medicine. As the weather got colder, his cough became more and more severe.

Doctor Li came to see him despite the wind and snow, but he just shook his head and told him to take good care of himself, and there was nothing else he could do.

"I'll help you." Li Hu said, took a breath, and was about to go out.

Seeing this, Li Changlin hurried over to stop him: "Dad, don't come out. I'll go find my eldest brother to help."

"I guess your eldest brother is too busy to take care of everything." His eldest son Li Changrong's family, his eldest daughter-in-law is in poor health, and his two children are too young, so all the housework depends on him alone.

The situation is almost the same for the second son Li Changsheng's family, which can be heard from the name Li Changsheng.

Because he was born prematurely, he had a weak body since childhood, and when he grew up, almost no women in the village were willing to marry him.

The reason why the second daughter-in-law married him was because they had been friends since childhood. Moreover, the second daughter-in-law had a strong temper. She was stronger than boys since she was young. Most men felt that they could not control her if they married her. And she was used to taking care of Li Changsheng because he was weak. No one dared to marry one of them, and they became a couple.

Fortunately, their temperaments complement each other, so they can get by. Li Hu and Zhang Shi don't expect Li Changsheng to be able to stand up and help the family. Although their daughter-in-law is strong, she is a good person. It's not bad for him to listen to his wife. At least he can live a good life.

Under the current circumstances, they naturally could not go to find Li Changsheng. The second daughter-in-law had to run the household, take care of the children, and take care of her frail husband all by herself. Even they felt sorry for her. If this was their daughter, they probably would not be willing to marry her to such a man.

The second daughter-in-law's family are all good people. They don't dislike their parents, and they would never do anything to be a burden.

"Don't go looking for your second brother!" Li Hu thought for a moment and said seriously.

"Dad, what do you think of me? I know the situation in my second brother's family. How could I possibly bother him?" Li Changlin replied dissatisfiedly.

"Dad, please go back and stay here. I'll clean it up." Li Changlin urged.

But before he could be persuaded to turn around and go back to the house, the main house collapsed with a bang...

The three of them stared blankly at the collapsed main house, scared out of their wits. If they were in the house just now, wouldn’t they be buried underneath now?

Faced with such a situation, the three of them were a little confused. Where should they go?

In the end, Li Hu took the two of them to the home of his eldest son Li Changrong.

"Dad, Mom, Changlin! Why are you here? Dad, it's snowing so heavily outside, why aren't you staying in the house?" Li Changrong was also sweeping the snow at this time, and was very surprised to see the three of them coming.

The eldest daughter-in-law, Xiao Zhang, heard the noise and came out in surprise.

"My son! There's no way we can survive! The house has been crushed by the snow!" When Zhang saw her eldest son and daughter-in-law, she could no longer hold back her tears.

"What?! Changlin, didn't you sweep the snow?" Li Changrong asked in surprise.

Li Changlin lowered his head in annoyance: "How is it possible? I sweep three times a day, but it still can't be cleaned up."

"This..." Li Changrong and Xiao Zhang looked at each other.

Xiao Zhang took the initiative to step forward and said, "Father-in-law, mother-in-law, and uncle, please hurry up and come inside first. Father-in-law is not in good health, please stop standing outside the door in the cold wind."

"Yes, Dad and Mom, you go in first. I'll come after I finish sweeping the snow." Li Changrong also said.

Zhang was comforted by her son and daughter-in-law's attitude: "Hey! You are good people, it's us who are holding you back."

Little Zhang walked over and took Zhang's arm, "Mom, we are all family, why are you saying that? We can't just leave you alone."

Xiao Zhang respected her mother-in-law. As soon as she got married, her parents-in-law immediately divided the family property for them and let them live their own lives in peace. Her mother-in-law never made things difficult for her or set rules for her.

Li Changrong's son and daughter were huddled together in the house, warming themselves by the fire. When they saw Zhang and the others coming in, they called out for help. Although there was a fire burning in the house, the windows were open, so the temperature was only slightly warmer than outside. After a while, Li Changrong also came back from sweeping the snow.

He sat down and said, "Dad, Mom, you guys should stay with us for the time being. It's snowing so heavily now that we can't repair the house."

Li Hu and Zhang were about to agree, but Li Changlin stood up and said, "Let's go to Guangming Village!"
