Chapter 170: The Cave

Ping An walked in front and led everyone to tear open the vines and enter the hole. Jin Shu followed, and after entering, he first checked the environment in the cave.

This hole seems to be formed by several large stones stacked together, and it looks inconspicuous on the outside, but after coming in, I found that the inside is still quite large, and the Jinshu family of more than ten people can fully live in it. Even if there are about a dozen people here, no problem. There are still gaps in the four walls of the cave, and there is just the light that comes in, so it is not particularly dark inside.

After entering, the subordinates packed up and quickly sorted out a vacant lot. They will also be in the mountains for at least five or six days, so a place to sleep should also be prepared......

From the time we went out in the morning until now, everyone has only eaten a few mouthfuls of dry food on the way. Jinshu asked Laixi and Ah Bao to pick up some firewood nearby, and asked Ping'an to follow Zhao back to see if he could find a water source.

It's already winter, and if there is no firewood to keep warm, so many people will definitely freeze out and get sick, and cooking also needs fire. Water is also very important. When going up the mountain, in order to hurry up, Jinshu didn't let everyone bring a lot of things, so their water was only enough for a day or two, and they couldn't just go over it in the next few days!

When Zhao left, Jinshu specially asked him to bring the rice balls. After all, animals are the most sensitive to the natural environment, and having it can definitely save a lot of trouble.

It was getting darker, and it was getting colder in the mountains as the night went on. Before it was completely dark, Laixi and Ah Bao picked up enough firewood, and after a while, Zhao Hui and Ping'an also returned. They found a small stream in a small ravine about seven or eight hundred meters away from the cave, and the problem of water was finally solved.

Uncle Fu and Aunt Fu lit the fire, and the cave was a lot warmer. The two girls helped cook a pot of hot porridge on the side, and everyone roasted the steamed buns around the fire, and had dinner with the hot porridge and the pickles they brought.

Although it is the cold winter season now, and the fierce beasts in the mountains have retreated into the mountains, there is nothing wrong with being careful. In order to prevent any accidents in the middle of the night, Jinshu arranged for the night duty during dinner. Except for the Ye family and the older Uncle Fu, Aunt Fu and Uncle Wan, the others are not divided into masters and servants, and they take turns to be on duty these days, watching each person for an hour and a half.

Everyone had no objections, and after eating, they took over the task of being on duty first. The forest was eerily quiet on a winter night, and there was no sound in the cave except for the sound of burning firewood. Xu suddenly changed places, so the brocade book couldn't fall asleep after turning it over, and finally simply sat up and kept vigil with Ping'an.

Zhao Hui sat up, walked to Jinshu's side and asked in a whisper, "Can't you sleep?" Is it because of the cold? ”

Jin Shu shook his head, and noticed that it was too dark for Zhao Hui to see at all, so he replied: "No, it may be that I can't sleep because I have something in my heart." Leave me alone and go rest! There will be more in the next few days. ”

Zhao Hui didn't move, turned his head and shouted to go to sleep safely, and then said, "I'll accompany you." ”

Jin Shu knew that he was a tough temper, so he didn't say anything to him. The two of them sat side by side near the entrance of the cave. After that, I don't know how long it took, Jin Shu actually fell asleep leaning on Zhao Hui in a daze.

"Xiaojin, wake up!" Zhao Hui suddenly shouted, and Jin Shu woke up from his sleep.

"What's wrong?" She rubbed her eyes and asked in a whisper.

"There's movement outside." Zhao replied in a deep voice.

The rice balls lying on the side also stood up, listening to the movement outside the cave with their ears pricked up. Jin Shu's heart lifted, and she listened carefully and heard a voice in the distance. Not only that, but she also faintly saw the light of the fire.
