082 Living
It was a pure accident to be able to find this cave.
Originally, this mountain wall looked full of green, and there was light vegetation everywhere, and they didn't even think about what it looked like under the vegetation.
When they passed through this place before, they were so tired that they walked a little unsteadily.
Sister Rou stumbled, and her hair was hung by a dense thorn bush.
Sister Rou was so painful that her tears were about to fall, but she couldn't struggle.
Yu Qingmei hurriedly took out a sharp short knife from her waist and cut off the string of branches that hung on Sister Rou'er.
After rescuing Sister Rou from the thorn bush and removing the branch that firmly grasped Sister Rou'er's hair, the three of them noticed that there was a dark hole behind the thorn bush.
With great effort, the three children managed to carve out a narrow path that could only be passed by squatting sideways.
After crossing the trail and digging into the cave, they made sure that the entrance of the cave was actually a very suitable place for camping.
The cave was dry and clean, with neither animal droppings, nor animal carcasses or bones.
It means that there should be no beasts in this cave.
Brother Xian, Sister Rou and Yu Qingmei briefly discussed a few words and decided to simply spend the night here.
They had planned to climb a tree if they couldn't find a suitable campsite.
However, staying overnight in a tree, which at first glance seems safe, is actually dangerous.
If nothing else, if it rains, they will have to be doused solidly.
If there were thunderstorms again, they would have to be struck by lightning.
If there is a little cold wind, they will have to freeze.
Stay in a tree, at most, you can dodge lone wolves, foxes, and the like.
In case you encounter a lynx that can climb trees, a wild boar that can hit a tree, a black bear that pulls up a tree, and a poisonous snake that swims silently between the branches...... That's the rhythm of hanging up every minute!
Now that there's a cave, it's much safer.
They had to get ready before it was completely dark.
Time was pressing, and in order to avoid getting lost again, the three of them did not act separately and did not dare to go too far.
They went round and round, picking up lots and lots of dry branches, dry thatch, and dead leaves from the nearby woods.
These things are too useful.
It can be used to light a fire, to make a bed, and to camouflage the hole.
The entrance to the cave was not very large, and it was tightly covered by thorn bushes, so if you don't look closely, you can't see it at all.
Not only is the cave dry and wide inside, but it also has the advantage that there are clusters of thorns growing near its entrance.
The entrance to the cave was not very large, and these thorns covered the entire entrance of the cave tightly, and if you didn't look closely, you really couldn't see it at all.
The children got up in good spirits because they had found a relatively safe place to live, and quickly put the entrance of the cave in place, and built a simple "brazier" out of stones.
Sister Rou skillfully lit a fire, and the three of them sat around the fire, quietly roasting the fire.
After all, there is no quilt or cover in this hole, and although a "bed" is made out of dry branches, there is no comfort at all when you really lie down.
A few people thought that it was better to simply stay up all night than to fall asleep and lie on the ground, in case they caught a cold, or if the fire was extinguished and then the beast broke in.
The atmosphere around the fire was quiet and beautiful, until several people's stomachs rumbled with hunger, breaking the silence.
The faces of all three of them couldn't help but turn a little red. Immediately after, they all laughed again.
It's late, and it's not convenient to look for food in the distance.
But if you're hungry all night, you can't do it!
Sister Rou endured it, but she couldn't hold back in the end, tore her sleeve, wrapped it in a pine branch and wrapped it around a few times, stretched it out on the fire and lit it, and made a simple torch out:
"I'll go around and see if there's anything to eat. It's definitely not okay to not eat. Otherwise, even if we can survive until dawn, we won't have the strength to find our way home. ”
Brother Xian hurriedly grabbed her:
"You and Sister Qingmei wait here, I'm a boy, I'll go."
Yu Qingmei also stopped her:
"Let's go, let's go a few miles, in terms of years, I'm still the biggest. You two little ga beans, you should listen to me! ”
So saying, he snatched the torch and went to the mouth of the cave.
Sister Rou didn't have as much strength as her, so she had to chase after her:
"Wait for me, I'll go with you. Just let Brother Xian'er stay and watch the cave."
Brother Xian didn't want to stay and watch the cave at all.
But the two fierce sisters didn't leave him a chance to resist at all, and they had already rushed out with wind under their feet.
Looking at the backs of the two young ladies, he sighed like an adult and sat down cross-legged.
Add two more sticks of wood to the fire.
He had to make sure it burned vigorously, at least until the two sisters returned.
Two teenage girls carried a thin simple torch into the nearby forest.
The night in the mountains and forests is not silent.
Insects chirp, frogs sing, wolves howl, beasts roar, one after another.
Occasionally, there is the cry of a night owl, mixed in.
If this is a timid baby, maybe he will be scared to tears by this time.
But Yu Qingmei and Sister Rou happen to be two bold ones.
They walked dozens of steps before they reacted, in fact, the moonlight was very bright, even if there were no torches, they would not be able to see the road clearly.
The two began to meticulously search for wild vegetables, mushrooms, and rabbit holes on the ground.
……
When the two little girls returned to the cave happily with two hares, a nest of wild eggs, a handful of wild spring onions, a handful of small garlic, a handful of plantains, and a handful of purslane, they were surprised to find that in addition to Li Xixian, who was still guarding the fire, there were two more strangers in the cave.
Or two adult men with weapons.
Two men sat next to the fire, leaning against the inner wall of the cave, carrying a burden and a long sword in their arms.
The other sat on the other side of the fire with a large knife in his arms.
Both of them carried bows and arrows on their backs, but the quiver was empty, and there were no feathered arrows left.
Yu Qingmei's vigilance was immediately raised.
One of her hands had been quietly pressed on her belt.
In addition to the dagger he carried with him, Yu Qingmei's belt was also wrapped in a soft sword.
Although her swordsmanship is not very good compared to her riding and archery.
But if you are surprised, unless you are against the master of the masters, you can still make the enemy hang some color!
The two men were very surprised when they saw the food that Sister Rou and Yu Qingmei were carrying in their hands and arms.
His eyes instantly glowed green like a wolf.
It can be seen that these two are also hungry.
That look of longing is almost like being hungry for many days in a row, and I haven't eaten on an empty stomach!
