In the famine year, the group pet cubs awakened to farm in Shanhaijing

Torrential rain.

A group of people walked along the winding mountain road in the middle of the misty and foggy Xiaohuai Mountain. The person who walked in the front had a stick tied with a red cloth behind his back, which was blown by the wind.

Every once in a while someone is carrying such a stick tied with a red cloth.

Walking on such a mountain road, as long as you see the red cloth, you can know that you have not been separated from the villagers.

The place Zhang Wei wants to take the villagers to is on the west side of Xiaohuai Mountain. According to Ji Huai's prediction, the mudslides rolled into the village from the landslide on the east side. The vegetation on the east side is lush and the soil is soft, while the west side has many rock walls, which are high enough.

When they went into the mountain to look for Dr. Zeng last time, they happened to find a large cave carved out of the rock wall.

There was no sign of anyone inside, but there were traces of the previous fire.

It is estimated that some hunters lived here when they went up the mountain before.

It just happens to be used to hide for a while now.

Zhang Wei did not walk in the front, he has been walking in the middle and back of the team. There are many old people and children in the village. At first, their physical strength can keep up. fell behind.

There was even an old man who accidentally stepped on a rock and fell, but fortunately he was not injured.

Zhang Wei simply carried him on his back, his back was tense, his voice was a little hoarse, his voice was broken by the sound of rain, and he shouted loudly: "Everyone remember to pay attention to your feet, be careful not to step on stones and fall, the mountain road is very slippery , you can pick up a stick from the side to prop yourself up!"

Originally, they only needed to walk for more than an hour to go up the mountain.

But now, with a bunch of old, weak, sick and disabled in the village, the journey has been dragged for more than two hours, not to mention that there are still many people who don't wear coir raincoats at all, and they can't hold on to the rain for so long. .

Cheng Lin remembers the way, he is responsible for walking in the front and leading the way.

Ye Ning's face was very anxious, and he kept looking forward to see if he had reached the cave. Miaomiao, who fell asleep on his shoulder, has not woken up until now, which is very abnormal, she has never been so sleepy.

She didn't wake up after such a bumpy journey.

She reached out to touch Miaomiao's forehead, it didn't feel hot, but it was cold.

"We have arrived."

At this moment, Cheng Lin stopped and heaved a sigh of relief.

What appeared in front of them was a gray rock wall that was taller than a two-story house. This cave was extremely spacious. The rainwater slid down from the top of the rock wall and fell into the ditch dug outside the cave. Instead, it was dry inside. .

The eyes of the already exhausted people suddenly brightened.

Great, it's finally here!

"Rang Rang, why are you all crowded here!"

"If you don't go, don't block the way here, go away quickly, don't delay me!"

A sharp and harsh voice suddenly sounded, and many people were pushed away from behind just as soon as they stood firm. Mrs. Zhao, relying on her age, carried her back basket and rampaged in the crowd.

Qian Shi was the first to react, and hurriedly pulled the pillar and squeezed the people away to run into the cave.

The brothers of the Cheng family were stunned for a moment, and followed up without knowing why, and soon met Cheng Lin who was standing at the front of the line. Mrs. Zhao gave him a disgusted look. Just as Cheng Lin was about to open his mouth to call out, she deliberately forced him Hit it.

She spat out angrily: "Conscientious trash!"

Mrs. Zhao snorted coldly, turned around and walked into the cave first, and immediately found that the inside of the cave was very dry, not as cold as outside, especially because there was still firewood inside!

Granny Zhao's eyes lit up immediately.

Unexpectedly, he quickly picked up the firewood on the ground and ran to the innermost part of the cave, and put down the basket to block the firewood. The Cheng brothers who came in behind also saw the firewood on the ground, and Cheng Sanlang's eyes flickered slightly.

"Why are you still standing there, move all the firewood here quickly."

Granny Zhao lowered her voice and urged.

Cheng Dalang reacted immediately, taking advantage of the fact that they were the first to come in, he quickly picked up all the remaining firewood and put it in the corner. After they put it away, the dark villagers behind followed.

The spaciousness of the cave exceeded everyone's expectations.

If the place was crowded a little, it would be able to include the entire village. As soon as everyone's faces were filled with surprise, they saw that the Cheng family had occupied the best position, and their expressions suddenly became a little subtle.

Some people who reacted quickly took their families and ran to occupy other positions inside.

People who moved a little slower also took the middle position.

I don't know when the rain will fall. Obviously, people staying in the cave are definitely safer than staying outside. The wind can't blow and the rain can't get wet. Cheng family.

Cheng Lin and the others came in not too early or too late, and found a middle place near the rock wall to put Cheng Miaomiao down.

Ye Ning stayed here to settle down. Cheng Lin took off his bamboo hat, wiped his chin casually, and put his chin on Miaomiao's forehead. He felt that the temperature was almost the same before he felt relieved and said, "Miaomiao shouldn't have a fever. Now I'm going outside to pick up Brother Zhang."

"You go, pay attention to safety." Ye Ning nodded.

"I brought some anti-wind and cold pills that I made myself. Don't worry about this. If you have a chance, you'd better pick up some dry firewood, or I'm afraid everyone will die of cold here tonight."

Dr. Zeng raised his head and looked at him solemnly.

Cheng Lin was stunned for a moment, then turned his head to look at the burnt place in the middle with traces of fire, but he didn't see the firewood piled up next to it, and he didn't see any firewood among other people when he glanced around.

You clearly saw it the last time you came here?
Thinking of something, he suddenly stopped, and looked up at the Cheng family in the innermost part of the cave. They put all their backpacks behind, and people stood around the front. From this angle, they couldn't see clearly what was behind them.

Cheng Lin pursed his lips slightly.

Parents and the others came in first, so they must have seen those firewood.

If someone took firewood behind them, they would definitely not stay there as peacefully as they are now, and they might have started a disturbance long ago.

Cheng Lin frowned, looking a little cold in the weak light, and said to Ye Ning: "No matter what happens in the cave later, just ignore it and wait for me to come back."

Ye Ning was stunned for a moment, then nodded to him.

Cheng Lin didn't say anything more, put on the bamboo hat and rushed out of the cave again.

Dr. Zeng took off the large piece of oil paper that was covering his body and put it aside. He glanced at Cheng Miaomiao and Zeng Ziji who were sleeping soundly leaning against the rock wall, and took the pulse for the two of them with a serious face. Then he couldn't help frowning for a moment.

Seeing his face change slightly, Ye Ning hurriedly asked: "Doctor Zeng, how are Miaomiao and the others?"

"Miaomiao is fine, and she hasn't contracted a cold or fever," Dr. Zeng said with an indescribable expression, "She just fell asleep, and she will wake up when she gets enough sleep."

"..."

Ye Ning did not expect to get such an answer.

The worry in Ji Huai's eyes dissipated immediately, and he heard Dr. Zeng say again: "However, Ziji has caught a cold, so it's not a big problem. Just light a fire and burn some hot water to drink to dispel the cold."

Madam Yu frowned, and said worriedly:

"But we have no firewood."
