Chapter 239: Substitute Village Girl 8
When Murong Zhaohua returned home, he found that Liu Mengyuan was at home today. He was peeling a small bird egg in his hand. When he saw his two sisters coming back, he handed them two bird eggs.
"You guys eat."
Liu Menghan cheered, took the bird egg and started peeling it.
"Brother, did you take bird eggs today? How many did you take? Do you have any more?"
Liu Mengyuan reached out and pushed Liu Menghan's head aside.
"Eat it if you have one. If you keep talking nonsense, give it back to me."
Liu Menghan stuffed the bird egg into her mouth and ran away quickly.
"Thank you, brother."
Murong Zhaohua held the bird egg in his hand, thanked Liu Mengyuan and then went out to hang clothes.
Liu Mengyuan narrowed his eyes, thinking, this second sister is not normal.
Murong Zhaohua's heart began to beat fast. She reminded herself that she must remain calm. She could only rely on herself now and must not reveal any flaws.
Without Alie, Murong Zhaohua became much more cautious. She fooled Liu Menghan, but Liu Mengyuan became suspicious.
But Liu Mengyuan was a careless person and didn't even think about replacing someone.
After staring at Murong Zhaohua for a few days, he felt it was boring and found an excuse for himself, thinking that his second sister might have grown up.
After all, girls change a lot as they grow up, and it is possible that they become more and more beautiful.
Murong Zhaohua finally settled down. She learned to do housework and attributed all the changes to her illness. She was finally no longer afraid of being exposed.
?
Nan Xi looked at the sky and decided that it was not a good time to go out today as it would rain.
But prisoners have no human rights, so they have to set off and can only hope to find a place to hide.
Huo Tieyi also looked at the sky and silently calculated the distance in his mind. If he walked faster, he should be able to reach a village.
"Walk faster. If you don't want to get wet in the rain, keep up with the group."
A group of people complained, but they didn't dare to complain loudly, so they could only speed up their pace silently.
Nan Xi didn't feel anything. Her body had been tempered by spiritual energy and was stronger than an adult man.
Huo Tieyi looked at Nan Xi and continued walking forward.
Three hours later, the sky suddenly changed and was covered with dark clouds. Soon, heavy rain poured down like a reservoir with the floodgates opened.
Everyone felt a sinking feeling in their hearts because the surroundings were so desolate and there wasn't even a place to hide from the rain.
Huo Tieyi's face turned pale. The village he had just passed by no longer existed. It seemed that a mudslide had come down from the mountain and submerged the village.
The rain splashed down on their bodies, and soon everyone's clothes were soaked. The prisoners began to panic, and some ran around, hoping to find a place to take shelter from the rain, but looking around, there was only muddy land and sparse trees, which could not provide any shelter at all.
Nan Xi cast an isolation talisman on herself and wove large leaves into a raincoat to put on. Although she felt the coldness brought by the rain, she was much better than those people who were soaked.
Many people also tried to pick leaves to hide, but the rain was too heavy and it didn't work at all.
Nan Xi looked at the mountains not far away. Such heavy rain might cause other dangers, such as mountain torrents, mudslides, etc.
We must find shelter from the rain as soon as possible.
"Master, there is a cave over there."
The small shadow was flying in the air, not affected by the rain at all. The rain fell around it and automatically avoided its body.
It flew over Nan Xi's head at this moment to shield her from the rain.
Huo Tieyi also stared at the forest and thought. It was dangerous to go into the mountains, but he couldn't care less now. He might get sick if he got caught in the rain outside.
"Everyone try to hide under the trees. Huzi will take a few brothers to find a cave."
Nan Xi stood up and said, "I'll go too."
The escort looked at Huo Tieyi. This little girl had killed a wolf very skillfully last time. She was quite skilled and might be able to help.
Huo Tieyi nodded in agreement.
The group took shelter from the rain on the spot, and a few escorts and Nan Xi walked into the mountains.
After walking for a while, Nan Xi saw the cave, but it was hidden. If she hadn't come, the escorts would definitely not have been able to find it.
"Look, there's a cave over there!"
The escorts were surprised and delighted. It was great that they found the cave so quickly.
After checking, one person went back to report, and the remaining few people lit torches and approached the cave carefully. This kind of cave might have wild beasts, so they had to clear it out first.
The shape of the cave is a bit like a huge mouth, open and swallowing everything around it.
The entrance of the cave is not too wide, but it is wide enough for several people to enter side by side. The space becomes larger as you go in, and the top gradually rises, forming a natural hall.
The walls of the cave are covered with strange-shaped stalagmites and stalactites, which look a little hideous in the dim light.
There were some gravel and bat droppings scattered on the ground, making a rustling sound when stepped on.
The space inside the cave is spacious enough, but it is a bit damp and cold, and seems a bit eerie.
"hiss……"
Hu Zi took a breath. There was a group of bats on the top of the cave, forming a dark "sky", making sharp calls from time to time.
There were a few snakes in the corners, moving between the ground and the cracks in the rocks, their bodies flashing coldly in the dim light.
"These bats are not venomous and will not actively attack people."
Hu Zi was quite knowledgeable. He took out the kerosene and torches he carried with him, lit more torches to illuminate the cave, and used the flames to drive away the bats.
Driven by the fire and smoke, the bats began to fly out of the cave in panic, looking for new habitats.
The brigade officers waved their torches continuously until the last bat flew away.
Several people found long sticks and stones to deal with these potentially poisonous snakes.
They first use long sticks to drive the snakes out of their hiding places, and then quickly kill them with stones or heavy objects to prevent them from fighting back or escaping.
Nan Xi watched from the side. The escorts were very experienced. They must have been on the battlefield and had some martial arts skills.
Several snakes were quickly dealt with, and the escorts put the snakes away. They were good stuff, and they would be cooked later, just right to warm the body.
After a simple cleanup, Huo Tieyi came with the prisoners. Everyone began to find a place to sit or lie down in the cave, trying to avoid the slippery and uneven ground.
The rain was still falling outside, but the cave gradually became quiet.
Everyone sat around the fire to dry their clothes. Snake soup was cooking in the pot above the fire, and a fragrant aroma was spreading out.
The prisoners swallowed their saliva. It was not their turn to drink the soup, but it was nice to smell it.
It was already evening. Huo Tieyi distributed dinner to everyone, and everyone leaned against each other to rest.
Huo Tieyi rejected the people from the general's mansion's request to go hunting, and they could only eat dry steamed bread.
The rain finally died down and the sky became completely dark. The only sounds in the cave were the breathing of the crowd and the bubbling of the broth in the pot.
Huo Tieyi brought a bowl of soup to Nan Xi, "This is your portion."
Nan Xi actually felt a little disgusted, but it still smelled quite nice, so she took it.
"Thank you!"
The eyes around suddenly became hot, this is broth.
Nan Xi even heard the sound of swallowing saliva, but she had no intention of sharing it.
Nothing happened all night.
The next day was a sunny day and the group set out on the road again.
