"Hello, you guys too! Don't be so reserved. I just came out for a walk. It's too stinky in here."

Since Chen Wanqing married into Guojia Village, she has rarely had contact with people like them, so they are still strangers to each other.

Chen Wanqing walked to the cave entrance and looked up, only to see that the surface of the cave entrance was very flat.

This way there won’t be too much snow on top and there won’t be any fear of avalanches.

The mountain is very big and the entrance to the cave is halfway up the mountain. Seeing this, she felt more at ease.

When they arrived here yesterday, it was almost dark and they couldn't see the surroundings clearly.

"Wife, why are you here at the cave entrance? It's very cold outside, go back quickly."

After Guo Jingtian finished talking to those people, he quickly followed out.

"I'm not cold, I just want to take a walk outside, you don't have to be too nervous.

Husband, actually, at night, we can ask them to help block the entrance of the cave with some stones.

Then they don't need so many people to keep watch at night, just one or two people will be enough.

This way, everyone can have more time to rest, and it won’t affect safety issues.”

Chen Wanqing wanted to remind them that they could build a door here at the entrance of the cave, which would be both safe and warm.

"Well, my wife, you are so smart. Every suggestion you make is good and practical. I still need to learn from you."

Guo Jingtian also looked at the entrance of the cave and wondered what would happen if he blocked half of the entrance with stones.

Make a door on the other half. As long as the door is strong enough, the people who keep watch at night will not need it.

"Really? Then will you take me as your master in the future?"

Chen Wanqing said with a smile.

"No, that won't do. I still want you to be my wife. I like you."

As soon as Guo Jingtian finished speaking, he heard Guo Jinglin and others inside burst into laughter.

Guo Jingtian's face turned red immediately. He was so happy chatting with his wife that he forgot there was someone else inside.

He didn't feel comfortable standing there and chatting with her any longer, so he turned around and went in to call for help.

If we get this door up early, they will feel more at ease when they sleep at night.

But when it was time to go to bed at night, Chen Wanqing came to the cave entrance again and took a walk around.

They also hung a dozen bells on the door, even if the night watchmen fell asleep.

If anyone moves the door and the bell rings, the people inside can hear it, which makes it safer.

Guo Jingtian knew her intention and told those who were on night watch that they must get up and check when they heard the bell ringing.

In this way, they all lived peacefully here, day after day.

The snow outside still hasn't stopped, and sometimes it even gets heavier.

More and more people from other families came to Guojia Village, and Guo Jingtian took their family away again.

There were fewer people with the same surname as Guo in Guojia Village, and many had been injured in the two previous battles with bandits.

So Li Zheng and the village chief became more and more anxious, and the more anxious they became, the more disagreements they had.

Seeing that they had arrived in the village again today, Li Zheng asked the village chief to bring the people from their family over there.

The village chief had no way to resist, so he had to bring his men out.

"Village chief, why don't we go too? Let's go to the back mountain and see if we can find Jingtian and the others."

Some villagers saw that the situation was not good and wanted to leave the village. If it continued like this, they would all die.

"If we go to the back mountain now and can't find them, will we freeze to death in the mountains? You all need to think this through."

The village chief was a little afraid to leave, as he was afraid he wouldn't be able to find anyone, but he stayed here for now.

When the critical moment came, Li Zheng simply used the people in their family as scapegoats.

So the village chief is very conflicted now, and he is beginning to regret that he should have followed Guo Jingtian and the others if he had known earlier.

"Uncle, I don't know whether you are leaving or not, and I don't know what you are going to do. Anyway, I have made my decision.

I will take my family tomorrow and go into the back mountain to look for Guo Jingtian and the others. I think as long as we leave here now.

We have enough food, so at least we are safe and don’t have to worry about being killed by others.

Now this road can no longer be blocked. If it continues like this, more and more people will come to Guojia Village.

Our food will be snatched away by others sooner or later. If the heavy snow continues, we may not even be able to keep our bedding and clothes.

If we go into the back mountain now and can't find them, we can also find a small cave to hide in. At least we have food and bedding now.

With these things, at least there is hope for survival, and the snowstorm will pass sooner or later."

Another villager told the village chief that his family had enough food to last at least two or three months.

The most important thing is that there are five brothers in their family and their parents are not very old.

There are many people who can contribute, so their family’s food can be taken away, so the family can take less risk.

"Third brother, I think what you said makes sense. I will go with you."

Several other people quickly echoed.

“Okay, now that you’ve made up your mind, we’ll leave after dark.

We can’t walk now during the day. They will watch which direction we go and catch up with us then.

What's more, each of us has food at home, but it is hidden so they can't see it.

But we are leaving now, and if we take it out, they will see it, which will be very disadvantageous to us."

The village chief thought about it and felt that what he said was right, as they were not familiar with the place in the deep mountains.

But you can also find some small caves outside the mountains, so at least you don’t have to fight with others.

When they arrived at the village entrance, they saw about one or two hundred people coming, and many of them were strong young men.

Seeing so many people, the village chief and his men didn't say a word and let them do whatever they wanted.

Soon the village chief brought his men back to where they lived.

"After dark, discuss with your family members and don't make any noise. You must do it quietly and don't let others know."

The village chief reminded them.

After dark, the adult men in the family dug out all the food they had hidden and slowly dragged it back to the mountain.

The other family members also came out one by one so as not to alert the enemy.

It’s so cold now, I’m lying in bed. There’s no big noise, and no one gets up to check.

At this moment, screams and shouts were heard again in the village.

Mr. Chen's entire family was robbed by the group of people who came this afternoon.

"Damn it! I've been hungry for days, and you guys still have meat to eat!"

The leader of the group kicked Mr. Chen in the chest after saying this.

"Ah! Stop it, my dear men, spare my life! Take whatever you want, but don't hit me."

Mr. Chen was kicked and rolled on the ground for several rounds, but he quickly got up and begged for mercy.

All the servants in their family were killed, and there were at least hundreds of people on the opposite side, so he had no other choice but to beg for mercy.

"That's more like it, everything here belongs to us, including this house.

Get out of here on your own accord, and I'll spare your life, but these two little beauties have to stay."

They took a fancy to the fourth and fifth daughters of Mr. Chen's family. Although these two daughters were also concubines, they were still young, so they stayed with him.
