Chapter 208: Back Home (2)
The mountain was not high. When Li Lanzhen and Yinhu went down the mountain, the sun was still in the west and had not set.
"Aunt Lanzhen, please sit here and rest for a while. I'll check if there are any wild animals around. Is it safe for us to rest here tonight?"
Li Lanzhen was also a little tired. She sat on a rock and nodded, "Okay, I'll take a rest. You go ahead."
Li Lanzhen drank a few sips of the spiritual spring water, then sat down and looked at the surrounding environment.
This area is open and bright, and the land is flat. If there are no signs of large animals nearby, you can rest here at night.
A straw mat was laid on the ground, and each person was given a mattress and a quilt to cover themselves.
It's still cold in the mountains at night, but if you build a fire around, it should be no problem to stay there for one night.
Now it's up to Silver Fox to observe whether there are any large wild animals around. If there are, this place cannot be used for living, and we need to find another suitable place.
Just as he was thinking about it, Silver Fox came back, sat next to Li Lanzhen and said.
"Aunt Lanzhen, this area is quite safe. There is a river not far ahead. The water is shallow but clear and drinkable.
We will rest here tonight, and I will keep watch at night."
"Silver Fox, how many people are there in this secret place?"
"There are 20 of us."
“Okay, I understand. I’ll put them all on the grass on both sides first, and then see their physical and mental conditions.
If that's possible, we can build a shack here together, or even sleep on the floor."
"Okay, Aunt Lanzhen, just put them on this lawn."
Li Lanzhen got to work right away. She took out 20 sets of bedding, 20 backpacks, and clothes and shoes they could wear from the space.
A dozen large knives, two wooden barrels, two wooden basins, 20 large bowls, chopsticks, spoons, kitchen knives, cutting boards...
A big iron pot, two ceramic jars, a bag of cornmeal weighing about 20 or pounds, and more than potato eggs.
Looking at the things on the ground, Li Lanzhen asked Silver Fox.
"Take a look and see if there's anything else that needs to be taken out. Once we have everything ready, we'll put them on the lawn."
Silver Fox followed Li Lanzhen, and was extremely excited as he watched things appear out of thin air one after another.
I heard Li Lanzhen's question and answered it.
"That's all. I don't think there's anything else that needs to be brought out, just these.
We will have one meal tonight and one meal tomorrow morning, and then it's time to go.
Aunt Lan Zhen, do you need a carriage?"
Li Lanzhen shook her head and said, "No, the road ahead is still bumpy and uneven, and to enter Taohuayuan we have to pass through a narrow cave, which is too narrow for a carriage to pass through."
“Then these things.
When we leave tomorrow, let everyone carry a backpack and share the things among everyone, so that everyone won’t be tired.”
The two of them looked around again, and when they felt that everything was almost ready, Li Lanzhen said.
"Silver Fox, I'm going to put them all on the grass lawn."
Silver Fox nodded, stood beside Li Lanzhen, and observed the mountains on both sides.
Li Lanzhen waved her hand, and 20 people of all sizes were lying on the lawn.
What makes them both incredible is.
Just let them out onto the grass lawn.
The three secret guards of Silver Fox stood up one by one, and the three of them stood back to back, observing their surroundings vigilantly.
Silver Fox said in a deep voice.
"Second brother, fourth brother, fifth brother, I'm here!"
The three secret guards heard Silver Fox's voice.
"Swoosh, swoosh" in the blink of an eye they came to his side, surrounded him, and were on alert.
Li Lanzhen was surprised and envious when she saw it.
"Silver Fox, they're fine!"
Silver Fox coughed and said, "I haven't seen the madam yet. It's safe here."
"Hello, ma'am. Thank you, ma'am."
Han Mingxiang and Han Shulan came out hand in hand.
They stood there in a daze, then turned around and saw Li Lanzhen. The two of them happily ran over and held Li Lanzhen's hands.
"Mom, are we home yet?"
Li Lanzhen held their hands affectionately and said, "Not yet. We have to rest here for one night and won't be home until tomorrow. Are you all right? Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere else?"
Han Mingxiang shook her head and said, "Mom, I feel very strong and all the pain in my body is gone. It's so strange."
Han Shulan also nodded shyly.
"Mom, I'm fine too."
Before Niang San could finish her words, a scream attracted her attention.
The one who screamed was a little girl among the 11 people in Tiehuadai.
The environment suddenly changed. At this moment, they huddled together tightly, looking around with frightened eyes, especially when they saw the men other than Silver Fox.
They looked like frightened birds, alert and on guard, ready to run away at any time.
Li Lanzhen hurried over and said.
“Tiehua, don’t be nervous. We are almost home. We are going to rest here tonight. We will walk along the end of this ravine tomorrow and we will be home.”
When they saw Li Lianzhen, it was like they had found a relative.
People, completely relax.
Tiehua also let down her guard and spoke to the women and children behind her.
"Okay, sisters, don't worry, Aunt Lan Zhen is still here, she will take us home, and we will have a family from now on."
Tiehua's words made the women start crying again.
Li Lanzhen has a headache.
He said to Tiehua, "Tiehua, calm them down. Come over here and get your clothes. There is a small river ahead. Wash up and change your clothes. Don't worry, the women will wash first. The men will not go over there."
When Tiehua and the women heard Li Lanzhen's words, they became even more shy and dared not look back at the people around them.
They knew how miserable they were at this moment!
The clothes they were wearing were all found in the bandit camp, some of which were men's clothes, some were long, some were short, tattered and smelly.
Tiehua called them over and saw that the clothes Li Lanzhen had prepared for them were all newly bought, including clothes, shoes, socks, and underwear.
The group of women were excited and happy. They picked out clothes and shoes according to their body sizes, and when they saw there were face towels, they took one and wiped their faces.
Li Lanzhen called them, "Use this backpack and carry it over there. Turn left along the valley. There is a forest there and there is a river in the forest. Don't wash your hair. It's getting cold and you will get sick.
You guys go wash first, the men are here cleaning the house and cooking. They won't go over. Feel free to wash up."
As he was speaking, Silver Fox, accompanied by three secret guards, carrying two buckets of water and one holding a pot of water, had already come over from the stream.
When Silver Fox heard Li Lanzhen asking the woman to go wash up, he hurriedly called a few people to go to the creek to fetch water.
They built a fire with three stones, placed the iron pot on it, and placed two clay pots on the fire, filled them with water, and were ready.
Silver Fox said to Li Lanzhen, "Aunt, let's go to the mountain and see if we can catch some pheasants and bring them back for everyone's meal."
"Okay, go ahead and have a safe rest."
Han Shulan looked at the little girl and her brother and sat up.
I walked over, took her hand and told her cheerfully, "Lingjiao, you're awake, get up quickly, we're going to stay here for one night and we'll be home tomorrow."
Han Mingxiang walked over and looked at Shuisheng and said.
"Brother Shuisheng, are you okay? Does your leg still hurt?"
Shuisheng said, "It feels great now, I don't feel any pain in my legs at all.
Where is this place? How did we get here? "
Han Mingxiang glanced at Li Lanzhen.
She had the same doubt in her mind, but she was her own mother, so of course she had to speak for her.
"We were all unconscious. My mother and her friends hired a car to bring us here. Get up, let's go and look for any pheasants on the mountain."
Li Lanzhen saw that everyone had woken up, except for Master Xu and Zhihua, who were still lying on the lawn and seemed to be asleep.
A little worried about them, she walked over and gently pushed Zhihua.
"Zhihua, wake up, it's time to eat, the roasted chicken legs are cooked."
"Grandma, where can I find roasted chicken legs? Uncle is roasting chicken legs again. I want to eat one."
When she heard about food, Zhihua sat up.
Li Lanzhen laughed and pulled her over and handed her to Han Shulan.
"Shulan, take Lingjiao and Zhihua with you and go to the river to wash and change your clothes. Come back for dinner."
"Okay, mother."
The three of them picked out their clothes and went to the river carrying their backpacks.
The men all knew that the women were over there, so they all went up to the mountains here to hunt wild animals and dig wild vegetables.
