Chapter 143: Cheap Hands!
The crowd didn't expect to be so lucky to find such a large cave at the height of the blizzard.
Because of the snowstorm outside, there was no way to continue walking, so everyone could only stay in the cave and rest
Everyone sat and rested several meters apart, cleaned the floor, and rested.
It's very warm in the cave, and it doesn't look like a blizzard at all.
Everyone had a rare opportunity to rest and relax.
Although they could occasionally hear the howling of the wind outside, they were not worried or afraid.
Xu Tian and other officials found some dead branches and lit a bonfire, but found that there were not many dead branches in the cave, that is, wood had become a scarce resource.
Fortunately, it is not cold in the cave, otherwise I don't know how many people will freeze to death on a snowy night without fire.
Therefore, Xu Tian and the others could only use the limited fire to cook the food, and when they cooked the food, the flame jumped and went out.
After they distributed the food, the light in the cave was much dimmer, and it seemed that it was getting dark.
But the crowd didn't care, and went to bed early after eating, and these days sleeping in the snow can't sleep at all.
Even if they dug a snow cave according to Chen Xue's advice, they would still feel cold, but not here.
Everyone rested early, and Chen Xue's family also returned to the space to rest, of course, before resting, eating first.
Rice, of course, is to eat hot pot.
Eating hot pot in winter is the most refreshing.
After eating and sweating, everyone will not feel the cold.
"We're going to have to stock up on more wood!"
Master Chen sandwiched a piece of pork belly and said, before Chen Xue collected a bunch of wood from home, and they didn't store wood after that.
But these days, he has been cooking in the space, and seeing that in the cave, because of the heavy snow, there is no wood to make a fire for heating, so Master Chen thinks that wood should be stored, and the more the better.
Chen Xue also nodded, she saw a lot of wood in the space before, and then thought that it didn't snow in Nanban, and there were many trees over there, so she didn't continue to store wood.
But now she feels like she's thinking too much.
Cooking on a fire consumes the most wood.
And not all trees can be burned as firewood, more importantly, even if they can be burned as firewood, they must be burned and dried before they can be burned.
So, next, they still have to find a way to store more coarse wood.
In fact, Chen Xue also planted a lot of flowers and trees in the space, anyway, if she saw it outside, she would basically dig some into the space to plant.
However, it is impossible to wait for those trees to grow and burn them as firewood for a few years, even if the trees planted in the space grow faster than the outside world, it will take several months.
After deciding to collect dozens of tons of wood, Chen Xue and the others continued to eat hot pot.
Now, the outside world is a blizzard, so if the team wants to leave, they can only wait for the blizzard to stop.
Early the next morning.
As soon as Chen Xue's family stepped out of the carriage, they saw Xu Tian coming over.
"What's wrong? The snow has stopped outside?"
Lord Chen thought that the snowstorm had passed, and Xu Tian planned to set off with the team, so he came to him.
As a result, he was told that he planned to take a few people out in search of wood.
"Although the cave is large, there is no wood, and there is no fire." Xu Tian was a little helpless.
"It's a snowstorm outside, you take people out, what if something happens?" Lord Chen frowned, "If something happens to you at that time, what will happen to this team?" ”
The dragons have no leader, and when the time comes, won't the prisoners just want to get out of trouble and spread joy everywhere.
"Isn't this Lord Chen here?" Xu Tian said a little embarrassed, he thought, even if something happened to him, there would still be Lord Chen in charge.
"You ......"
Master Chen was a little speechless.
"It's a snowstorm outside, where are you going to find wood!"
Chen Xue pursed her lips, and then sighed, "Forget it, we still have some wood in the carriage, you guys go there!" ”
After all, Xu Tian helped them a lot, and Chen Xue is not an ungrateful person, anyway, it is just some wood, it is a big deal that they work hard and save a little more in the future.
Chen Xue came to another carriage, lifted the curtain to reveal the wood inside, and then got out of the carriage and asked them to move.
"How can this work?"
Xu Tian hurriedly waved his hand, if he took it, what would Lord Chen and them use.
"Let you take it, what are you doing with so much nonsense!" Master Chen glared at him, pretending to be a little angry.
Xu Tian saw that Master Chen was angry and had to do it.
With this wood, you don't have to venture outside, and you can last for a few days.
The days after that were very peaceful.
Maybe it's because everyone hasn't had such a quiet rest for a long time, so they enjoy this opportunity very much.
After all, no one knows if there will be such an opportunity in the future, so seize the time to rest.
Even, when the snowstorm finally passed, everyone didn't want to leave.
"Hurry up!"
"We're on our way!"
Xu Tian urged everyone, because of the snowstorm, they had been delayed for a few more days.
When I went to Nanban, it was definitely delayed.
If it is delayed for a few days, it is fine, but if it is delayed for ten days and half a month, not only will these officials be held responsible, but these prisoners will also be severely punished.
At the lightest, he was tortured with ink and engraved on his face.
In the worst case, you will become a heavy laborer, that is, the kind without rest, 24 hours a day, only a few hours of rest, day and night will make you work until you die of exhaustion.
This is for the prisoners, and for the officials, they will be deprived of their status, or they will be thrown into prison or even beheaded.
Therefore, the officials urged everyone to hurry.
But because everyone was used to being comfortable, they felt the cold wind outside, and they didn't want to leave, and even said that they would wait until it was warmer outside before leaving.
Some people even prayed to Xu Tian to let them stay one more day.
Xu Tian watched these people kneeling and praying, and his heart suddenly softened, so he said, "Then the last day, you must set off early tomorrow morning!" ”
The crowd was overjoyed.
Hearing this, Lord Chen couldn't help but shake his head, but he didn't say anything, Xu Tian's character can only be changed after he suffers setbacks, but he can't change his character just by listening to the persuasion of others.
"I'm bored to death!"
After the white-eyed wolves were beaten by everyone, they honestly hid in the corner to recuperate.
When I finally recovered from my injury, I felt very bored.
So they began to wander around the cave, and as they walked, they noticed a strange noise in the depths of the cave.
Several people put their ears to the stone wall, and after listening for a while, they became even more curious.
So, a few people picked up the stone and threw it at the stone wall.
Boom!
Soon, the stone wall was smashed.
Buzz!
A noise appeared in everyone's ears, and immediately after, everyone saw an unknown creature pouring out of the mouth of the cave.
"Mom, help!"
The men screamed in fright, and then ran towards the other place, and the others also saw this scene, and their faces were pale and bloodless.
