Sturdy and pretty daughter-in-law Shanlihan

Chapter 1242 Avalanche
"I don't know, I just arrived too, and I'm inquiring about it..." The middle-aged man shook his head.

At this time, Wang Butou, who was among the officers and soldiers, saw the carriage driven by Xiao Yuchuan and walked over, "Brother Xiao is going back to Wushan Village?"

"Wang Butou." Xiao Yuchuan got out of the carriage and bowed to him, "What's going on in front? Why are people blocked here and not allowed to pass?"

Wang Butou sighed, "There was an avalanche ahead, and the snow on the mountain collapsed in a large area, burying the road. The brothers are leading people to clean it up quickly. Unfortunately, there is too much snow, and I am afraid it will not be cleared in ten days. .”

The passers-by heard this and became anxious, "What's the matter? It won't be cleared in ten days. We are still waiting to go back to celebrate the New Year..."

"I don't have any leftover grain at home, and my wife is waiting for me to carry the grain home to fry!" A strong man carrying a sack was full of anxiety.

"Everyone, I also know that you are eager to go home, but no matter how urgent you are, there is nothing you can do if the snow collapses." Wang Butou tried his best to reassure everyone, "I have already sent people back to the county government, and asked the county magistrate to hurry up and send people over. No matter how fast it is, it will take seven or eight days to get through."

"What should I do..." Passers-by were all anxious.

"Hey, my son!" An old woman's cry came from the front, "Why did you just go there like that!"

"That's in front..." a passer-by asked.

Wang Butou's face was serious, "The old lady's son was buried by the snowfall, just dug out, and has already passed away. There is only one day before the Chinese New Year, and no one would want such a thing to happen. This section of the road ahead, They are all deep in the valleys, and a lot of avalanches, large and small, have come down along the way. Not to mention that the avalanches are hard to pass now, they just passed by. I don’t know which section of the road is buried by the snow. To be safe, everyone should go back .”

A young man cried, "My mother is still at home waiting for me to celebrate the New Year..."

"I can understand everyone's feelings. It's just that I can't help it." Catcher Wang was helpless, "Compared to the old lady who sent a white-haired person to a black-haired person, at least your relatives are still alive. There will be no hunger panic this year. If the family has run out of rations, borrow some from the neighbor next door, and it will be no problem to wait for ten days. Don't pester this, so as not to affect Qingxue, the officers and soldiers, and go back! You guys think I’m not bothered by moving snow and snow! I’m not going to pass the New Year with my brothers, you think it’s easy for us!”

After everyone listened, they walked back one after another.

Wang Butou was very polite to Xiao Yuchuan, "Brother Xiao, you guys go back to town too. You won't be able to make it through within ten days."

Xiao Yuchuan nodded, and had no choice but to drive the carriage back to the new house, which was more than half completed, together with Xiao Yanshan.

Two young servants named Liu Sheng were hired to guard the house.

Hearing the knock on the door, Liu Sheng opened the courtyard door, saw two carriages outside, and asked in surprise, "Master, why are you back?"

"Xue Beng blocked the road, and the road to Wushan Village will be blocked for ten days." Xiao Yuchuan handed the reins of the carriage to Liu Sheng.

The maid Yinzhu got off the carriage first, and helped Su Qingyue get off the carriage.

Before the group entered the courtyard, Jin Xun walked over with a group of servants.

"Su Qingyue!" Jin Xun shouted.

"What are you going to do?" It was not Qingyue who asked, but Xiao Yuchuan.

"I heard that the road to Wushan Village is blocked by snow." Jin Xun coldly glanced at the half-built medicine hall, showing disgust, "Look, the half-built house has no furniture in it. There is snow everywhere, and the Chinese New Year will be tomorrow, how can you wrong Qingyue to live in such a place?"
