Chapter 399 Down Jacket
Qingfeng was shivering with cold, and almost curled up into a ball when he came in: "Why haven't I felt winter is so cold before."
Xu Li was not much better than him: "Before, I lived in the city and didn't run around."
Xia Wanniang pointed at the clothes beside her and said, "Change your clothes. Just put them in the basket over there."
Qingfeng picked up a piece of clothing and examined it: "How do I wear this?"
Xia Wanniang called a few children over and asked them to teach them how to change clothes. Then she took a piece of ginger in her hand and went to cook ginger soup for everyone.
Aunt Xiao looked at the ginger in her hand and said, "Give it to me."
Xia Wanniang dodged her hand and said, "Mom, I still know how to make ginger soup."
Aunt Xiao smiled and said nothing, so she didn't stop her from making ginger soup.
Qingfeng changed his clothes and came out: "Finally I'm alive. This clothes is really good, light and warm."
Xu Li came close to Xia Wanniang. Before he opened his mouth, Xia Wanniang knew what he was going to say.
"I don't have time now. Let's think about it when we get there. It may not be that cold in the capital, so don't say anything. Even if you tell me, who will send you back in this wilderness?" Xia Wanniang blocked what he was about to say.
Qingfeng had the same idea originally, mainly because the clothes are warm and lightweight. If he brings one back for the elders at home, they will suffer less in winter.
Xia Wanniang couldn't understand their little thoughts: "Wait until we get to Maocheng!"
The two of them immediately started to help with the work. Everyone had a simple dinner, and even a simple vegetable soup made them feel satisfied.
At night, the black cats kept watch, and they all slept in sleeping bags. It felt quite novel and helped them get a good night's sleep.
As soon as the sun rose, he pressed the storage button on the tent, and the tent was automatically folded into a small cube. It not only did not take up any space, but was also very light, which made Banyan envious again.
Shopkeepers Chang and Hong didn't know why, but they pretended not to see what Xia Wanniang took out, and even took it for granted.
The sled team set off again. They passed a village in the afternoon, but the village was so quiet that it seemed as if there was no one there.
Xia Wanniang asked them to wait at the entrance of the village while she and Yifeng went to take a look.
Yifeng followed her into the village. The houses were in good condition and many things inside were not taken away. They even saw some poultry that had frozen to death in the village.
It seemed like he hadn't been back for a long time, which made the two of them very curious.
Xia Wanniang frowned and said, "Yifeng, check around and see if you can find anything."
Yifeng nodded: "Mrs. Xiao, be careful."
Xia Wanniang nodded, and went to check the situation in the village separately with Yifeng.
She found that it was not just one family that was like this, but all the families were like this. Along the way, there was not a single family with anyone in it.
The home furnishings in the house were still there. She reached out and touched the table and found a thin layer of dust on it.
There were no signs of a fight in the room, as if they had disappeared overnight.
All the livestock in the village were still there, but they had all starved to death or frozen to death. This was too weird.
Yifeng walked around the village, including searching every cellar, but he didn't see anyone.
He found Xia Wanniang and shook his head gently at her.
Xia Wanniang frowned even more tightly: "Let's go to the village entrance first."
Qingfeng and the others saw them coming back: "How is it, is there anyone in the village? Can we stay overnight?"
Xia Wanniang looked at the people who gathered around her and said, "There is no one in the village."
"Ah?" Xu Li thought he had misheard: "This village looks like there are dozens of households, but there's not a single person?"
Xia Wanniang nodded: "Well, Yifeng and I looked around, and there was no one except the dead poultry."
"How is this possible? There are poultry, but how can there be no people?" Shopkeeper Chang was a little surprised.
Yifeng frowned and said, "We don't know either. There is no sign of fighting in the village. Their belongings are still in the room and have not been taken away."
Yun He: "The property and poultry are all there, and there are no signs of fighting. Isn't this a bit too weird? It seems that everyone in the village disappeared overnight."
