Chapter 352. Temporary residence
"I’ll go too," Qin Shu also followed his father.
Li waved her hand, ignoring the father and son duo, and looked towards the second and third sons: "Lu brother, Ming brother, quickly go find some firewood."
"Okay." Qin Lu and Qin Ming, who originally also wanted to go out with their father, didn’t feel any displeasure, quickly nodded, knowing filling their bellies was also very important.
As for the neatly stacked timber in the yard, neither of the brothers thought of taking it, instead, they ran out to gather scattered pieces in the village.
After the flood, firewood wasn’t scarce. Although the village had been organized, quite a lot of wood still lay scattered in the corners, enabling the brothers to gather a substantial amount in a short time.
Meanwhile, Qin Shu and his father walked around Hua Village. Unfortunately, the whole Hua Village wasn’t much different from Qin Village, with mainly the foundations and a few walls remaining; almost everything else had fallen apart.
Some households were slightly better off, but only slightly, unable to conceal anyone, and maintaining privacy was out of the question.
Of course, theirs was the only family in the village, so privacy wasn’t really an issue, but being near Qinggu Mountain without any walls as a barrier felt unsettling.
Initially wanting to find another place to live, they found no suitable spot, so they returned, deciding to stay in Hua’s house.
When Qin Lu and his brother each carried a bundle of firewood back, Li also walked around Hua’s house, happily discovering a well covered with a stone lid in the backyard.
Although they brought quite a bit of water, it would eventually run out, a concern for Li that was now relieved.
"Mom, the firewood’s ready."
