Chapter 820: Lookout Guard
The older woman sensed something was wrong, looked back, and anxiously wanted to go forward to help the person.
However, after being frozen for several hours, she was already at the end of her strength.
While helping the other person, they ran out of strength and both of them fell to the ground.
Lu Qingqing subconsciously stepped forward and helped the two of them up.
Next to him, Qin Lang also came over with a lantern.
Only then did Lu Qingqing see clearly that the short and thin woman lying on the ground was not very old, and looked only about eleven or twelve years old.
Fortunately, there was a layer of snow on the ground.
Although the little girl fell face down on the ground, she didn't bleed from hitting the snow.
But, the whole person fell into a coma.
When Lu Qingqing helped someone, she felt that her hands and neck were as cold as ice.
This little girl must have been frozen for too long and is suffering from hypothermia.
He quickly took out the water bag filled with hot water from his waist and handed it to the older woman, asking her to feed the little girl some water.
The little girl didn't wake up until she was fed half a bag of water.
Seeing her mother's anxious look, she spoke in a weak voice.
"Mom, I'm fine."
Upon hearing this, the older woman hugged her, cried, and muttered in a low voice.
"It's all because of my useless mother, it's all because of my useless mother!"
When she recovered, she hurriedly pulled the little girl to her knees on the ground to thank the two men.
"Thank you both for the rescue, Mai Sui and I would like to express our gratitude to you!"
Lu Qingqing hurried forward to help the man up and looked around in the dim light of the lantern.
I realized that the wheat ear lady had a sad face and looked to be in her forties.
I remembered the man who came to look after the stable before. He looked to be in his early thirties.
Judging from their ages, they are a couple, but the age difference is quite big.
Just as he was thinking about it, he saw Mai Sui Niang wanted to return the water bag, so he quickly refused.
"I still have this water bag at home, you can use it!"
Mai Sui Niang felt embarrassed to collect the firewood, but she thought that the man at home was reluctant to let her burn more firewood.
This water bag can keep warm. With it, my daughter can drink more hot water.
Besides, the mother and daughter will have to be on duty in the coming days.
This water bag is like a hot water bottle and can keep you warm for a while.
After thinking about it, I accepted it.
"My two young men, I owe you a big favor.
If you have any work to do at home, just tell me and I will do it well."
Lu Qingqing was not used to this kind of scene, but since Mai Sui's mother insisted on helping, she had to agree.
They waited until the two people left before closing the gate.
Carrying a thick tent, I climbed up to the lookout tower step by step.
The view up here is wide, but the wind is very strong.
As soon as the two of them went up, they felt that their thick cotton jackets were blown through.
No wonder the wheat ears were frozen and fainted, it was really cold that day!
They couldn't even bear the weight of their thick cotton-padded jackets, let alone Mai Sui and her mother, whose old jackets were so torn that the cotton wool was showing.
After Lu Qingqing went up, she stuffed the thick tent on her back into the house on the lookout tower little by little.
Before it was plugged, you could still feel air leaking through the cracks in the bricks of the watchtower.
After stuffing the thick tent, you can't feel the wind when you sit inside.
I can only say that the tent made by Old Man Zhuang and Sun Yue is really thick!
At this time, Qin Lang behind also climbed up.
He then went into the tent and took off the two thick cloaks on his back.
Each of them took one, put it on their heads, and then put on a hat.
After cleaning up, only two eyes were left exposed.
Although this outfit is warm, it is really heavy.
After putting it on, I feel so tired when I want to move my body.
The two of them stopped struggling and sat back in the tent, looking at the night outside.
Looking down from here, you can see the surroundings of the house.
Any further away, it becomes unclear.
But the circle you see is the road into the village.
He simply adjusted the position and made sure it would not block his view before taking out four hot water bottles from the space.
Each person has two, one placed on the knees and knees, and one held in the arms.
In this way, even though there was wind blowing from the side from time to time, both of them were still warm.
Listening to the howling wind outside, Lu Qingqing took out the spicy dried meat and watermelon seeds she had bought earlier.
Although it was a bit cold outside, the two of them didn't feel too uncomfortable holding the hot water bottle.
As for the watermelon seeds and dried meat, the two of them ate for a while and then retreated to warm their hands.
So, we eat and chat at the same time.
As they chatted, they started talking about the big fat pigs in the space.
Thinking of the pig-killing dishes they had eaten before, they both felt a little greedy.
Qin Lang immediately said that he was free anyway and wanted to go in and kill the pig.
Lu Qingqing looked outside and saw no other sound except the sound of the wind, so she agreed.
She watched from outside while Qin Lang went in to slaughter the pig.
When they clean the pork later, the two of them will take turns.
With his hands on Qin Lang's thick cloak, he was taken into the space.
The first thing Qin Lang did when he entered the space was to take off his thick clothes.
First came the thick cloak, followed by the thick cotton-padded jacket.
When I felt I could move around a bit more, I went to get a pair of shorts to wear for work and changed out of my thin cotton-padded jacket.
Lu Qingqing only glanced at it for a few times, and when it was time for the short hit, she looked away.
About a quarter of an hour later, when he looked in again, he saw Qin Lang inserting the butcher knife into the fat pig's neck cleanly and neatly.
As the butcher knife was pulled out, blood spurted out.
Soon, it followed the principle of gravity and flowed into the basin below.
When this one is finished, it will be the second one.
The most difficult part of the entire pig-killing process is actually catching the pig.
Fortunately, the pigpen is not that big, and Qin Lang has already gained experience in fighting.
As the wind and snow outside gradually grew stronger, he finally slaughtered all the pigs.
All that remains is to cut the pork.
According to their previous habits, this matter was handled by Lu Qingqing.
