The day after tomorrow morning, Li Changting took Xu Qing to the cave where he hid grain.
Xu Qing never thought that they had dug the cave under a big tree. It was not a cave, but a cave in the ground. Moreover, the location was very hidden, and there were thick roots to cover it. If they didn't drill under the roots, they couldn't find a hole at all.
Li Changting had the experience of digging the cellar before. This time, he dug it fast and well. He also went to his house and brought a lot of green bricks. He built the whole cellar tightly and covered the top with thick boards to prevent rats from digging in and stealing food.
The cellar is not big, but it's very deep. Because it's used to store grain, it's not very high. People have to bend down when they come in, but it's not a problem to hide ten people.
Then the three men began to move grain into the cave. Considering the danger and the need for Tibetans, Xu Qing only took out 1000 Jin of grain, plus more than a dozen jars of pickles, pickles, and bags of dried vegetables and dry goods.
Oil, salt, sugar and medicine are necessities. Some quilts, clothes, water and firewood have also been put in.
"Lying trough, how can I only have so many snacks?"
Xu Qing has a one meter wide bamboo basket specially used for snacks. It was full half a month ago, but now it's half empty.
Her nougat, frozen rice candy, walnut crisp, fried peanuts, cookies, crispy omelet
Even the beef jerky and pork jerky that she couldn't bear to eat were at the bottom!
Xu Qing turned his eyes to the culprit.
"Well, can't you eat it?" Duanmu ring touched the tip of his nose and asked awkwardly and innocently.
"You've eaten too much, too!" Xu Qing grabbed the cover of the bamboo basket and smoked him, "you're so fat
Duanmu Xiang was wronged by Baba. It was so delicious that he couldn't blame him. The food was in the next room. He couldn't help grabbing it every time he passed by.
When Xu Qing went to see the canned fruit, she found that the canned fruit was also missing. When she looked back at Duanmu, she found that the man had already run away.
Xu Qing can't laugh or cry. She remembers that Li Changting used to be so greedy. At that time, the conditions were good and the food was more delicious. Later, Li Changting was so fat that he couldn't even tie his waist.
Now that Li Changting has lost weight, he knows how to control himself. His family's snacks can finally catch his breath. As a result, Duanmu ring is better than that of Li Changting.
After a long time, Duanmu Xiang apologized and begged for mercy, and promised that he would never eat again.
Looking at his face that he was about to cry, Xu Qing was angry and funny: "eat, all for you. Is it enough? I'll do more if it's not enough."
Duanmu ring broke his tears into a smile: "good, good, do more!"
Li Changting hissed: "where is the future?"
Xu Qing left a portion for Duanmu Xiang, and put the rest of the snacks in hui'er and Xiaomei, so that they can hide and eat slowly.
In the evening, Xu Qing and Li Changting take Li Jinmei and Cao Laoliu to the cave where grain is stored to tell them how to get in and what's inside.
Li Changting also taught them how to cover up their footprints. Otherwise, if someone passes by and finds footprints on the ground, they will feel strange.
Seeing so much food in the cave, Li Jinmei felt quite calm.
However, at a glance, we can see that there is not 2000 Jin of grain in it. Xu Qing explained, "there is still some grain that we have hidden elsewhere."
Li Jinmei still understands the truth of cunning rabbits, and she praises Xu Qing for his thoughtfulness.
At night, Duanmu muttered that he wanted to eat lees and poached eggs.
Xu Qing: "I'll give you fried Mahua instead of making it today."
Xu Qing's little Mahua master passed on her master with exquisite craftsmanship and excellent taste. She made two flavors, one salty and one honey.
After frying Mahua, Xu Qing made another 20 jin ShaQima, which was very busy until late at night.
Three people cut paper to wrap ShaQima and xiaomahua. Xu Qing bought a lot of oil paper before making snacks.
The next day, Xu Qing put two baskets of ShaQima and xiaomahua into Huier and xiaomeizi's cave, and told Li Jinmei that they should not eat too much for their children, which made them angry.
All that should be prepared is ready. Li Changting decides to start one day ahead of time. Before leaving, he calls hui'er to another cave to have a talk alone.
Xu Qing covered himself tightly with his cape and climbed on Li Changting's back. In order to avoid her falling, Li Changting wrapped his belt around their waist two times.
Xu Qing lies on Li Changting's shoulder, just as his hat can cover her.
After saying goodbye to Li Jinmei, they set foot on the road to the capital.
Duanmu ring in front of the road, soon flew to the tree, in the branches of the shuttle jump, dressed in white, ecstatic.
Li Changting followed, carrying Xu Qing to keep up with Duanmu ring, no pressure.
It's very hot outside. It's even hotter for two people to stick together, not to mention Li Changting's personal stove. From time to time, Xu Qing has to spread the heat between them.
Fortunately, she drinks Lingquan water every day, and her body is great. The heat is hot, but she doesn't feel uncomfortable.
Along the way, Xu Qing pays attention to the surrounding mountains. Every time duanmuxiang and Li Changting climb up a mountain, they are bound to stand at the top and look around carefully.Standing high and looking far away, Xu Qing even saw some villages with bleak fields and dilapidated houses. It should be that no one exists.
At noon, the sun rose to the sky, the area of shade became less and less, and the whole earth was roasted.
Li Changting finds a shelter to stop, and the three enter the space.
"Ah, it's so cool." Duanmu ring sighed as soon as he came in.
Three people poured a big cup of herbal tea, this just felt alive.
Xu Qing's front clothes are all wet, Li Changting is not much better, and his back clothes can be twisted out of water.
Duanmu Xiang said with a smile: "you go to change clothes, I go to cut vegetables."
After dinner, they took a nap for an hour, and then went on their way when there was shade outside.
An hour later, the three men once again looked into the distance, suddenly caught a glimpse of a nearby Wang Bili, startled!
It wasn't until they walked in that they found that it was a big lake.
The lake is surrounded by mountains on all sides, with no entrance or exit, but it is very large and looks very deep. The blue water is quiet, reflecting the blue sky. The scenery of the lake is like a fairyland.
When they saw so much water, the three of them recovered after a while. At the same time, they also saw a cottage on the opposite mountain.
Judging from the color of the wooden house, this cottage should have just been built. It's not easy for the three people to get close to it. Finally, Duanmu Xiang decided to check the situation quietly.
Xu qinglue was surprised: "how can there be such a big lake here?"
Li Changting: "we follow the flow direction of the underground river, and we can identify the direction from the topography. I'm also very surprised to find this place. If we make no mistake, this place should be the source of our underground river."
Xu Qing was surprised: "so we've been all day looking for the source of the underground river?"
