Under the flower field fence

Chapter 214 Hunger
Stared at by Huali's strange eyes, Si Chan always felt uncomfortable in all the pores of his body.

Huali noticed that there was something wrong with her eyes, she immediately retracted her eyes, opened the straw curtain blocking the door, looked outside, and then said softly, "I haven't slept for long, if you are sleepy, you can continue to sleep, anyway. We can’t go down from above.”

Si Chan shook his head, he was a light sleeper, he didn't want to sleep when he woke up.

"Have you eaten?" Si Chan asked in a low voice, although it was raining outside, the rain was loud, but the two of them did not dare to speak too loudly.

Huali handed Si Chan the remaining three peach-sized berries that were left aside, "Eat it, Brother Si, I've already eaten it."

Si Chan was not polite either, took all three berries, carefully put two in the basket, then wiped the remaining berry on his hand, and began to bite and eat.

One berry can't fill Si Chan's stomach at all, but right now, there is only so much food, if you don't eat sparingly, maybe neither of them can last long.

Huali knew what Si Chan was thinking, so she didn't try to dissuade her, she just took the padded jacket that was not finished yesterday and continued to sew.

Huali's needlework can only be described as rotten. After each stitch is stitched, not only are the stitches uneven, but they are all crooked and not on the same line.

But fortunately, the needlework was a bit rotten, and the clothes sewn out were very smooth.

In fact, Huali just put a layer of cotton wool in one of her clothes. This time it rained and the weather became colder. The two layers of single clothes Huali was wearing didn't keep warm at all. The cotton coat was sewn, so it could keep out the cold, right? .

Si Chan looked at Huali's seriousness in doing things, although he could see that Huali's sewing skills were not good, but Huali's seriousness in doing things was quite attractive.

Neither of them said anything, and it was extremely quiet inside the small tree house.

And inside the cave, those masked men ate up all the edible food in the cave in two days, and it was still raining heavily in the sky outside.

The heavy rain has never stopped. In the valley, water has already flowed down from the cliff.

The terrain here is already low, and the flow down is expected.

The masked man in the lead glanced at the outside of the cave, and said with some annoyance, "There is already water flowing down the valley outside. Looking at the weather, I don't know how long it will rain. We have to find a way to get out of here, or else the water will flow down by then." Just flood the cave and it's over."

A burly man standing behind the masked man also stood up at this time, glanced outside and said, "It's nothing if we leave, but we didn't catch that little girl and Si Chan, if the master blames us what to do?"

That's the crux of the matter.

The leading man was asked, yes, what should he do if he really pursued it.

The man with the goatee stood up at this time and said, "Boss doesn't care so much, if we continue to stay here, we can't wait for a good result. You see, the water outside is also gradually rising. Who knows that the rain will come?" How long does it take? If it really floods into the cave, it will be too late for us to leave. It's been two days. If Si Chan and the little girl are really in this valley, don't they know how to come back to get food? We have searched inside and outside the valley, but there is no one there, maybe they have other hiding places, we can't just wait like this."

Talking about the goatee's stomach growled inappropriately.

The man sitting next to the goatee agrees, thinking it's time for them to find a way to get out of here.

Seeing that his brothers said this, and he also had such thoughts, he thought about it carefully and said, "I don't care what the master said, when the rain stops, we will go back to Yaowang Valley and wait there. Let Si Chan and the others come back, the weather is cold, and the little girl has no winter clothes, let me see how long they can last."

Several people reached a consensus, and the matter was much easier, as if God wanted to help Huali and the others on purpose.

At noon on the third day after the heavy rain started, the heavy rain stopped, but the sky was still covered with dark clouds, and it looked like it was about to rain again.

The masked men, who were already hungry for two meals, first caught two rabbits in the valley when the rain stopped, and then roasted and ate them in the cave before getting ready to go on the road.

Huali and Sichan on the tree house also had a difficult life. When they were thirsty, Huali took a bowl to catch the rainwater outside to drink. I spend all my time sleeping, after all, only when I sleep can my body consume less energy.

Si Chan felt a little guilty looking at Huali's appearance. If he had practiced martial arts well back then, he would have been able to play chess with those masked men outside, maybe he could have easily overcome those obstacles.

There are a lot of edible things outside, Si Chan has seen several wild rabbits, but even if they are caught, they cannot be roasted and eaten.

Watching Huali fall down again, ready to sleep, Si Chan glanced at the contents of the basket, only a piece of rabbit meat the size of a palm was left inside.

Fortunately, the weather has been cool in the past two days, and the meat was cooked with pears and salt, so the rabbit meat did not change its taste.

Si Chan looked at the weather outside and found that it was not raining, so he went out of the tree house and looked towards the cave.

Thick smoke billowed from the cave.

And there was a burning smell in the air.

"Damn it." Si Chan cursed in a low voice as if thinking of something.

Those people seem to be burning the quilts and medicinal herbs in the cave.

If it weren't for the fact that they had been holding on for three days and would not fall short, Si Chan really wanted to go out.

Just as Si Chan was about to retreat to the tree house, he suddenly saw people coming out of the cave from a distance, and they all walked towards the cliff.

Are they leaving?Si Chan thought to himself.

Changing a branch, Si Chan carefully climbed up and looked outside.

Standing here, he seemed to be able to see a little more clearly. Through the gaps in the leaves, Si Chan looked at the people outside seriously.

Yes, they are ready to leave.

Si Chan was extremely excited, and gradually saw that several men in black had climbed the cliff. Although he couldn't see clearly, Si Chan was sure that these people were going to leave here. After all, everything in the cave should be destroyed. They burned.

Cautiously retreating back to the tree house, Si Chan woke Huali up.

Huali rubbed her eyes, and when she opened her eyes, she saw Si Chan's excited expression.

"What's wrong? Brother Sichan?" Huali asked in a low voice, she was very hungry, but Huali didn't want to say it.

Si Chan smiled slightly, took out the rabbit meat in the basket and handed it to Huali, and then said, "Those people seem to have left, but they also seem to have burned the things in the cave, I'll go back to the cave now, you can eat something , recover a little strength."

Huali frowned when she heard that, she didn't take the rabbit meat from Si Chan's hand, but was worried that the departure of those men outside was a trap, "Brother Si Chan, you should wait until it gets dark before going down, I'm afraid this is a trap."

The group of masked men managed to catch up here, Huali didn't believe that they could leave here so easily.

Si Chan sat down and looked outside. At most, it would be dark after waiting for an hour or two, and it would be fine to wait a little longer.

"We ate all the leftovers here. They have left now, and I can go out to find food. There are a lot of yams in the middle of this valley. Now it is raining again. It will be easy to dig up the yams by then. Yes." Si Chan said as he parted a bit of the rabbit meat in his hand, and handed the big piece to Huali, while he ate the smaller piece.

Huali chewed the rabbit meat slowly. I heard people say that the slower you eat, the faster your stomach will be full.

Huali felt that this was the most difficult time she had experienced since she was a child.

Adding up the two worlds, I have never been so hungry as I am now.

After eating, the two waited patiently again, "I'll go down and have a look later, you'd better stay in the tree house, and come down when there is no danger below." Si Chan said worriedly.

He believed that those people didn't dare to do anything to him, but Huali might not. No matter what, everything he did was to ensure Huali's safety.

This time Huali didn't try to show off, knowing that Si Chan did it for her own good, she nodded her head in agreement.

Gradually it got dark, and smoke could still be seen coming from the cave.

After Si Chan made sure that there was no one around, he got off the big tree and slowly approached the cave.

There was palm-deep water accumulated on the ground, but looking at the traces on a cliff, Si Chan knew that as long as it didn't rain, the water would gradually fade away in a short while.

Cautiously walking into the cave, Si Chan couldn't open his eyes due to the choking smoke.

In the middle of the cave, where the bed was made, there was still a small fire burning, and the billowing smoke came out from there.

Si Chan covered his nose with one hand, and vigorously fanned the smoke in front of his eyes with the other.

Xu squinted his eyes and looked around the cave.

All the contents inside had been thrown into the fire, even the medicinal herbs that Si Chan had dried in the cave were not spared.

And the only iron pot used for cooking was also thrown into the fire, and a big hole showed that the iron pot had also been scrapped.

Si Chan's face was dark, and he was angry. There was nothing usable in the cave.

Si Chan squeezed the hatchet tightly in his hand.

The smog in the cave was too great to stay for a long time, Si Chan retreated cautiously, the sky was completely dark at this moment.

According to his previous memory, Si Chan fumbled to find two yam vines. Following the vines, Si Chan carefully dug up the yam growing in the soil.
