Chapter 159 Xu Yu said: I will keep you warm
It was a long time before Jiang Yi came back.
Xu Yu hurriedly asked: "Brother Yi, what's the situation?"
"Fortunately, the broken bamboo didn't fall towards the chicken and sheep pens."
"Is it still snowing?"
"Ah."
"Is it raining heavily?"
"big."
Jiang Yi took off his clothes and got on the bed, and Xu Yu came close to him.
Jiang Yi hurriedly stopped her: "Don't come over here yet, I'm cold and you'll get cold."
Xu Yucai didn't listen to him. She came up to him and hugged him with her arms and legs like an octopus, saying, "I'll keep you warm."
Jiang Yi had no choice but to hug her tightly, patting her back with his big hands and saying, "Go to sleep. I'll get up early tomorrow morning to check on the situation in the village."
Xu Yu knew how serious the situation would be for this poor mountain village if the bamboos were broken by the snow. After all, many of the houses had thatched roofs, which were most likely to collapse under the weight of snow.
In weather like this, if the roof collapsed, the people living inside would be freezing.
She thought of getting some extra cold-relieving medicine ready for tomorrow morning so she could give it to anyone who came looking for her.
Thinking of her mother's family again, Xu Yu said worriedly, "I wonder what the situation is like with my parents?"
"I'll go check it out tomorrow."
"Ah."
Early the next morning.
As expected, many roofs of houses in the village were collapsed by the snow.
Jiang Yi and Jiang Qingyun were invited to help by someone they had a good relationship with.
Snowflakes were flying, and the entire small mountain village was covered with snow. Looking around, it was a sea of white.
In such weather and in such an era, a heavy snowfall is a nightmare for most people.
Especially since the snow shows no signs of stopping.
Xu Yu and Yang Wenhui both wore furs.
Yang Wenhui helped Xu Yu alter her fur coat, making it into a fur cape with sleeves that covers her hips and also comes with a hood.
The three of them stood under the eaves looking at the small mountain village covered in heavy snow. The kitchen and chicken coop of Jiang Laoer's house opposite were crushed. From a distance, they could hear Li Cuihua crying out that God was blind.
Xu Yu became even more worried about her mother's family.
Jiang Yi came back not long after he went out.
He said to them, "I'm going to take a look at Xu's place now."
Xu Yu looked at the thick snow on the road and asked worriedly, "Brother Yi, can we get through now? Will the road be difficult to walk on?"
"Okay, I'll take Dingdang with me, but I can't take you."
Xu Yu couldn't possibly hold him back, so he nodded quickly: "I won't go over there. You and Dingdang, be careful on the way."
Thinking that her eldest brother and sister-in-law would be back in the next two days, she said, "With such heavy snow, they definitely won't be able to come back. I'll wait for them to come back before going over."
"Ah."
Jiang Yi walked towards the house, calling Dingdang as he walked. Xu Yu hurriedly followed him: "You should bring some medicine for colds and to prevent ferocious animals from approaching."
"Ah."
After Jiang Yi took Xu Yu's packed things and left with Dingdang wearing rain boots, a straw raincoat, and a hat, Xu Yu became even more worried.
The tiger cub obviously didn't want Dingdang to leave and was making whining sounds there.
Yang Wenhui held it in her arms and stroked its head a few times until it calmed down. Then she comforted Xu Yu: "Don't worry, Xiaoyu. Your parents' house is sturdy. It will be fine."
Xu Yu nodded, and the two were about to go back to the main room to warm themselves by the fire.
Then they saw a figure running towards their home from a distance.
When Yang Wenhui saw someone running towards her, she exclaimed in surprise, "Huh?"
The person running towards this side was He Yaqin's husband Li Changgui.
Li Changgui's face was full of anxiety. He ran too fast and fell down, almost falling into the field.
Looking at Li Changgui who had gotten up and continued running towards their house, Yang Wenhui asked in confusion, "Why is this guy running towards my house?"
Li Changgui ran closer and called out, "Uncle Jiang, Aunt Yang, are you home?"
Yang Wenhui quickly responded, "Yes."
Then she said to Xu Yu, "Xiaoyu, just stay here. I'll go over and take a look."
After saying that, he walked towards the gate of the yard.
When Yang Wenhui opened the gate of the yard, Li Changgui also ran to the door of their house.
Li Changgui panted and said anxiously, "Aunt Yang, I'm going to ask Xu Yu to get some medicine. My wife and son caught a cold last night and both have a high fever... My son looks really... really scary."
Hearing this, even Dr. Hu, who was warming himself by the fire in the main room, came out and stood next to Xu Yu.
Xu Yu frowned and asked, "Why is it scary?"
Li Changgui heard Xu Yu's voice and looked over. With red eyes, he said to her, "His face is blue and he won't swallow. Yaqin said she can't feel our son's breathing."
After saying that, he actually wiped his eyes with his sleeve, and then said to Xu Yu in a desperate tone: "It will take me half a day to get Doctor Huang over in this weather. I have no other choice. Please prescribe some medicine for my wife and son."
Xu Yu looked at the man standing by the gate with snot and tears in his eyes. After thinking for a moment, he turned his head and said to Doctor Hu, "Grandpa Hu, why don't you go over and take a look?"
After that, he said to Li Changgui, "The person next to me is Doctor Hu from the Provincial Military District Hospital."
When Li Changgui heard Dr. Hu's identity, his dull eyes suddenly brightened.
He hurriedly said to Doctor Hu, "Doctor Hu, please go see my wife and son. My son... my son..."
As he said this, he began to wipe away his tears again.
Doctor Hu did not answer him immediately. Instead, he said to Xu Yu, "It's just a minor illness. Why do you ask me to do this?"
Xu Yu glanced at Li Changgui, considered for a moment, and then said, "It's a bit inconvenient for me to go."
Although Dr. Hu was puzzled by Xu Yu's words, he still agreed to go with Li Changgui.
Xu Yu went to find him some medicinal herbs and a set of silver needles that he could use.
After Dr. Hu followed Li Changgui away, Yang Wenhui's expression was still a little complicated.
"Luckily, Dr. Hu is at our house."
She already had some resentment towards He Yaqin, and the things they deliberately said after He Yaqin gave birth to a son made her dislike the couple.
She definitely didn't want her daughter-in-law to save such a person, but looking at Li Changgui's appearance, his child's condition was indeed very serious. If they really didn't go to save him, everyone would feel guilty if something unexpected happened.
Xu Yu glanced at Yang Wenhui and had the same idea as her.
……
Dr. Hu went to Li Changgui's house and didn't come back for more than an hour.
He stood under the eaves and shook the snow off his body.
Xu Yu took a dry cloth and wiped his hair.
Doctor Hu said, "The roof of this house has collapsed in half, and the blankets aren't thick. It would be strange if they didn't catch a cold. Especially the little kid, he kept crying because he was so cold. He took in too much cold air into his lungs. It would be strange if his condition wasn't serious."
After saying that, he glanced at Xu Yu and said, "I used silver needles on the little kid. If you go, they probably won't let you use it."
Thinking of the female comrade's terrified look as if he was going to kill her son, if the child didn't look really dying and he didn't have the identity of a military doctor, they would definitely not let him save him.
"Little girl, you guessed what that lesbian was thinking, so you deliberately didn't go, right?"
"Not really." Xu Yu explained He Yaqin's identity: "She is Brother Yi's ex-fiancée."
Unexpectedly, Dr. Hu also knew this person: "So it's her. I heard Xiao Zhu, who comes here, talk about her before."
After saying that, he agreed: "You are right not to go."
Xu Yu hummed.
The two of them didn't have a chance to talk about this person, as soon someone else came to Xu Yu to ask for medicine.
Xu Yu gave them all.
But she also had a request: "You have taken my medicine now, I don't want money or things, but after the spring comes, you have to help me pick some herbs and return them to me."
Her request was not excessive, and everyone would definitely agree to it with all their heart.
……
Jiang Yi came back when it was almost dark, but Dingdang didn't come back with him.
When he came back, he brought Dr. Huang with him.
He said to Xu Yu and the others, "Dr. Huang's house collapsed under the weight of the snow, so he'll be staying at our house for the next two days."
Xu Yu and the others will definitely welcome you.
Doctor Hu even smiled and said to Doctor Huang, "Comrade Huang, we will live in the same room for the next few days."
Doctor Huang looked unhappy, but he didn't say anything.
Jiang Yi then talked about the situation at the Xu family.
"My parents' house was okay, only the chicken coop collapsed. My uncles' houses were more seriously affected... The worst hit were the pigs at the farm. The roof of the pigpen collapsed, and all the pigs ran out."
Xu Yu was shocked.
You know, there are only two sows about to give birth, a breeding pig, and a boar reserved for my eldest brother and his family's wedding on the farm. If one of them runs away, it will be a big trouble.
She asked hurriedly: "Did you catch him?"
