Chapter 330 - 330 Snowstorm (2)
“Yeah, he’s just bored after eating and lying around doing nothing. I’m going to feed those animals.” Gu Chengrui echoed her and turned around to chase after Er Zhuang. He drove a tram with Er Zhuang and started to get busy.
As for Zhou Ying, she went to the mountain and got busy. She collected everything that could be collected, especially the rare medicinal herbs.
After collecting everything, she saw that it was still early, so she used a pressure cooker to stew a pot of mutton soup. She planned to make soup noodles for tomorrow.
After the two of them finished their work, they brought Er Zhuang out of the interspace.
Gu Chengrui was worried about the snow, so he went out to take a look.
When he saw that the snow was already a foot thick and was still falling, his heart skipped a beat, wondering if there would be a snowstorm.
He quickly put on his military coat and checked the snow on the roof. As expected, the snow on the roof had already piled up thickly.
The snow on the end of the roof, in particular, was much higher and piled much thicker than the snow on the ground.
He quickly returned to his room and said, “Babe, I’m afraid you won’t be able to sleep tonight. Come out and help me hold the ladder. 1 have to clear the snow on the roof quickly, or it will be dangerous.”
Zhou Ying’s heart skipped a beat when she heard that. She immediately put on her clothes and walked out with him.
When she saw the snow falling so heavily that she couldn’t see anything more than two meters away, she hurriedly helped him sweep the snow off the roof.
After sweeping the roof and the shed, Gu Chengrui saw no movement from the other houses.
Only then did he remember that the patrol team had retreated since the snow started.
“Babe,” he said to Zhou Ying, “I have to go find the village chief. Otherwise, half of the houses in the village will collapse tomorrow.
“It’s just waking him up anyway. Why bother going over? Let’s just hit a gong or something.” When Zhou Ying said this, she paused for a moment because there was no such thing in their house or her interspace.
Finally, she simply took out a whistle from her interspace and said, “Let’s use this.”
“That’s the only way.” Gu Chengrui took the whistle, put it in his mouth, and blew hard.
He blew on it the whole time he walked toward the village chief’s house.
The whistle rang loudly in the quiet night, and it woke up the entire village.
At first, everyone was angry when they were woken up, especially those who had children like Tian Jiawang; those children cried and cried.
However, the whistle did not stop. People soon realized something had happened, and each family immediately sent someone out to check what was happening.
When they saw the heavy snow outside, they immediately shouted in horror.
Suddenly, the entire village was in an uproar. Everyone scrambled to clear the snow from their roofs.
When Gu Chengrui arrived at the village head’s house, the two brothers, Qian Jiaxi and Qian Jiale, had already started working together to sweep the snow off the roof.
The village chief raised his head and looked at the snow in a daze.
“Grandpa Qian,” Gu Chengrui quickly stepped forward.
The village chief patted him on the shoulder, then sighed with a heavy face, “Thanks, boy. I thought we could hide from it, but it came regardless.”
Gu Chengrui immediately knew what he meant.
He didn’t know how to reply to that.
Who would’ve thought they would encounter a snowstorm after they avoided the drought and the flood?
Even if they wanted to escape, they probably had nowhere to run. He replied, “Since you’re up, I’ll go back now.”
After he finished speaking, he turned around and walked back.
On the way, he went to the patriarch and his old house. After making sure that they were all awake, he rushed home.
When he returned, the roof was again covered with a thick layer of snow. The snow on the ground was almost two feet thick, illustrating the heavy
