"Really, you didn't lie to me, is Xiaojie really back?" Jiang Jie's mother asked Aunt Seven while running.
"Really, really, what Tao Tao said can still be fake, go quickly." Both of them were happy.
Walking through the narrow road at the entrance of the cave, the cave is very wide, the wall is lit with oil lamps, in order to save fuel, the lamp center is small, and the area of the cave is large, so the light in the cave is a little dim, Jiang Jie walked in and was a little unsuitable for the dim light in the cave, and couldn't help but slow down.
"Brother Jie, let's go, I heard the voices of the seventh aunt and the third aunt." Jiang Lei said behind Jiang Jie.
"I heard that, too." Jiang Jie was excited.
"Xiaojie, hey, you're back, my mother is worried to death." Jiang Jie's mother saw her tall and strong son's happy eyes, and she grabbed Jiang Jie's hand tightly.
Jiang Jie turned around and hugged her, "Mom, isn't my son coming back?" Where's my dad? He's okay. ”
"Hmph, the little rabbit cub still has a conscience, I know that I am worried about you, why didn't I come back earlier?" Jiang Jie's father also rushed over when he heard the news.
"Dad, do you know how hard it is to survive outside? If it weren't for the noble people who rescued me, I would have died several times. Jiang Jie complained to Jiang's father.
"God forbid, God forbid, son, it's good to come back, it's good to come back." Jiang Ma listened to Jiang Jie's words, her eyes turned red again, and she was afraid, although the people in the village lived in the cave, they were not completely isolated from the world, and they had a certain understanding of the outside world.
They make a living by hunting and gathering, and will regularly take surplus prey, as well as herbs purchased in the safe zone, and go to the safe zone to exchange for salt, cloth, leather armor, weapons, etc.
"What are these?" Jiang Ma looked at the boxes and asked curiously.
"It should be something to eat." Jiang Jie smiled, these were all cleaned up by Sister Rong, and he really didn't know what was in them.
"Let's go, let's take these things to the central square, where the light is good and we can see clearly." Dad Jiang instructed everyone to move things.
Not only is the light in the central square good, but there are also many people, and Jiang's father wants to show off what his son brought back in front of everyone.
The underground cave area of Jiuhuan Mountain is very large, the environment in the cave is complex, twisted and turned, like a labyrinth, Jiang Jie came here to play with his friends when he was a child, and then a child disappeared in it, no matter how to find it, in order to prevent further accidents, the adults in the village discussed and sealed the cave.
Originally, there was only one main road on this cave**, and some small caves on the side walls were irregularly shaped and could not be passed by adults.
Now this cave ** has completely changed, and the original irregular small caves on the side wall have been opened, criss-crossed and dotted.
They talked and laughed, and soon came to the central square, the so-called central square, the ground part is sandwiched between two peaks of a valley, the two peaks are steep, inaccessible, the villagers in this valley corresponding to the underground excavated a square, opened four skylights for lighting, the ground part set up traps, the skylight position in order to safely install the upper, middle and lower three layers of glass.
The central square is the only area in the cave where there is a light opening, and during the day, most of the elderly people in the village who are too old to go out gather here to deal with sundries, polish bone tools, handle prey, make materials for traps, and dry medicinal herbs.
"Come on, come on, put it here, and see what my Xiaojie has brought back?" Dad Jiang said in a high-pitched voice.
In order to facilitate access to subsistence resources, the inhabitants of the caves now live a primitive collective life, hunting together and sharing prey.
Jiang's father thought that what Jiang Jie brought back should be the prey he hunted, and at most there were some weapons or salt that could be exchanged in the safe zone, but when he opened the first box, an attractive fragrance came to his nose.
"This, what is this? How fragrant? The man closest to the box sniffed.
"Grandpa, it seems to be some wild fruit." A young man standing next to Jiang Tao replied.
"This is Tianluo fruit, it's delicious, let's try it." Jiang Jie said politely.
As soon as he finished speaking, the uncle who had just spoken unceremoniously reached into the box, grabbed two of them, and stuffed them into his mouth without washing.
"It's so delicious, why have you babies never picked such delicious fruits." The uncle said as he grabbed a few more in the box.
"Let's see what's in the other boxes?" Uncle urged.
Dad Jiang regretted carrying these boxes here a little at this time, and the second box he opened was the heaviest box carried by Wang Yao and another young man, the box was full of cold weapons, the cold light of the snowy blade flickered, and the sharp tip of the spear was murderous.
In the back of the box there are fabrics, protective gear, leather armor, these things look extraordinary, all of them are high-quality.
"Brother Jie, where did you buy these weapons? I have been to Mengjiawan and Qiming Mountain, and there is absolutely no weapon of this kind of color. Jiang Lei touched the long knife in the box and couldn't put it down.
"And this protective gear, which I've never seen before." Jiang Tao echoed.
"These are all common weapons in the capital." Jiang Jie said with a smile that these weapons were taken by Rong Xian Xian in the warehouse of the Four Treasure Towers, and they were originally intended for Jiang Jie to give to relatives and friends as gifts, and they were indeed ordinary things.
The uncle has opened the last box, and the unique aroma of food comes out of the box, which are some of the more famous special snacks in the security area of the capital, and the uncle doesn't know if he is hungry, so he doesn't ask, he takes it and eats it.
Dad Jiang didn't say anything, so he beckoned a few young men to share some with the other people in the square, Dad Jiang's purpose of showing off was achieved, there was not much food left in a few boxes, half of the weapons and guards were distributed to the brothers closest to Jiang Tao, and the rest of the things were carried back to the cave belonging to Jiang Jie's family.
Several old people in the square watched the Jiang family's father and son leave, their eyes complicated.
"You see, I didn't even eat two bites of what my son brought back, and you shared it like this." Mother Jiang looked at the empty box and complained.
"Our son is back, we should also go, these things are distributed to the big guys, and my heart is more steady." Dad Jiang sighed.
"Did you really decide to go?" Jiang's mother was silent for a while and asked.
"Xiaojie can bring back so many good things, it means that he has the ability, he has been outside for so long, he must have other partners, do you think he can stay here? Do you want to stay here, or do you want to follow your son? Dad Jiang said with some pride.
