Chapter 263. To the Valley
When Hua Jin woke up, it was already past noon. Everyone had already eaten, and Old Mr. Luo was happily chatting with Old Man Hua, while Luo Song had already set out again with more than half of the men and livestock, taking the valley route map drawn by Hua Chengtian.
Grandfather entrusted all the things he brought to Uncle Hua.
Each household in Hua Village had a lot of things, but with so many people, it was still not enough. Besides, most things had already been transported to the valley, leaving only a little grain and daily essentials.
Moreover, only a few people remained in the valley this time around, as Hua Chengtian brought most of the strong laborers back. Carrying more things was not an issue at all, not to mention they could employ small tricks. Otherwise, Hua Chengtian wouldn’t have agreed to help with transportation.
Luo Song trusted Uncle Hua very much, and with Grandfather with them, he felt at ease. After a good meal, they set off without further delay. The next meeting would be in the valley, and to be able to go back and forth sooner, they made better speed.
With no elderly, weak, women, and children, the return speed was even faster, taking ten days to transport everything back to the valley, including their stored firewood.
Meanwhile, as days passed, the temperatures gradually increased, and by the time everyone reached the valley, they were down to wearing just a single cotton-padded coat, as the temperatures had risen to post-New Year levels, and the ice and snow started to melt.
At this point, Hua Jin and her group had already moved to the valley.
To be honest, when they first arrived at the valley, except for those who had been before, everyone was utterly amazed.
It was unbelievably wonderful; it might be cold outside, but once inside the valley, you could feel a breath of spring. Before long, people started feeling warm and couldn’t help but shed layers, especially the energetic youngsters.
