When Grandma Zhu heard her son say that, she immediately became nervous, "What about the two camels?"

Zhu Haotian was the last to enter the cave. Before coming in, he had blocked the entrance with a palm tree.

They even tied the palm branches together and didn't carry the branches into the cave.

He happened to overhear his mother asking about camels, and he answered with a smile.

"The camels have already been brought in. We tried it and found that both the camels and the car can get in."

When Tao saw her husband carrying a tree trunk in, she quickly stepped forward and reached out to take the firewood from his hands.

Zhu Haotian would never let his wife do such rough work. He gestured for her to go back and sit down, saying, "Hurry up and sit down. You need to put a blanket under your clothes to cool off."

Seeing her son and daughter-in-law's loving relationship, Old Mrs. Zhu secretly smiled and went forward to take the firewood from her son's hands.

"Everyone has been traveling all day and is tired. Let's sit down and rest for a bit."

After Zhu Chenfeng cleaned the foolish face off, he helped Sun Shi walk inside.

Chen Xiang, along with Zhu Wen and An Qing, followed the two brothers inside.

However, when everyone entered, they were surprised by the scene before them: a blanket was laid out around the campfire.

The iron pot used for stoking the fire hung on the fire pit, Liu was washing rice, and Zhu Dabao, along with Pei Sining and Xiaobao, were playing with Xixi.

The men were all moved by the heartwarming scene before them, and their hearts were filled with warmth. They sat awkwardly on the blankets on either side of them.

Grandma Zhu noticed the young people's unease, deftly put the firewood into the fire, then took the rice her daughter-in-law handed her and smiled at them.

"Are you hungry? Wait a minute, I'll make you some pancakes first."

Chen Xiang approached the campfire in surprise, watching with curiosity the movements of Grandma Zhu's hands.

"Madam, you can even make pancakes?"

"I know a lot of things, but I was too rushed before and was always worried. I didn't have the time to study food."

Grandma Zhu smiled as she poured the rice into the iron pot, stirring it continuously, and then added two eggs.

After she finished, she closed the lid of the iron pot and took out another iron wok that she had taken from the cargo ship.

She placed the wok over the fire. By then, Liu had already kneaded the dough and turned to hand it to her.

After her mother-in-law took the flour, Liu opened the ceramic jar. As soon as the lid was opened, cool white smoke rose from the mouth of the jar.

Chen Xiang and the others became increasingly curious as they watched, and they all gathered around Old Lady Zhu, swallowing hard as they watched Liu Shi take out the ingredients wrapped in gauze from the ceramic jar.

Liu put the ingredients from the jar into a bowl and then handed it to Old Lady Zhu.

Grandma Zhu took the flour, grabbed a small ball from it, dug a hole in it, and scooped out a large spoonful of preserved mustard greens and pork into it.

Finally, flatten the dough and place it in the boiling iron pot. Several more flatbreads were made and left in the pot.

"Boss, I never dreamed that one day I would be able to eat a hot and delicious preserved vegetable pancake with pork in such a harsh environment."

Anqing stared intently at the golden-brown pancakes frying in the iron pan, swallowing hard.

Even Zhu Chenfeng and the others had longing expressions on their faces, staring intently at the flatbread in the iron pot.

Grandma Zhu knew everyone was hungry, so she put the fried pancakes in a bowl and handed them to Chen Xiang.

"Lord Chen, you eat first."

Chen Xiang couldn't wait any longer. He took the flatbread and quickly distributed it to the others, eagerly putting the hot flatbread into his mouth.

Even though it was so hot it burned his mouth, he couldn't bear to let go and kept eating it bite after bite.

Grandma Zhu watched Chen Xiang and the others wolf down their food and then smiled as she instructed Liu.

"Eldest daughter-in-law, serve Lord Chen a bowl of egg drop porridge."

Upon hearing this, Madam Liu smiled, picked up a bowl, and handed out the cooked egg drop porridge to each person.

Anqing Xingfu took a sip of the fragrant egg drop porridge, tilted her head back, and said, "I'm so happy. I don't have to worry about the sandstorms outside affecting us at all."

By this time, the Zhu family had also eaten their flatbread and egg drop porridge. They all looked at each other happily, eating and laughing.

Xixi lay on the blanket, happily watching her family's blissful expressions, and unconsciously felt happy along with them.

Just as everyone was happily enjoying their dinner, a sandstorm swept through the cave, with howling winds sweeping across the desert.

Two bandits went out to search for the Zhu family, but after not finding them, they decided to continue their search.

Unexpectedly, a sandstorm struck, and the camels fled, leaving them with no choice but to search for shelter on foot.

They unexpectedly discovered a cave, but strangely, the entrance was blocked by palm leaves.

The two men looked at each other warily, then quickly drew their broadswords and headed towards the cave against the storm.

The group of people who had eaten and drunk their fill were resting against the rock wall inside the cave.

Chen Xiang keenly looked towards the cave entrance and quickly kicked the sand on the ground into the fire.

He warily gestured to the others, making a shushing gesture.

There are people outside the cave.

Seeing this, Zhu Chenfeng hurriedly signaled to Old Lady Zhu to lead the men to hide, while he and Zhu Haotian picked up their weapons and walked towards Chen Xiang.

Led by Chen Xiang, the group moved forward slowly. Zhu Chenfeng followed nervously behind Chen Xiang, whispering reminders.

"Lord Chen, the storm outside is not suitable for fighting, nor can we bring people in. The space here is too small for fighting."

Chen Xiang agreed with Zhu Chenfeng's reminder and nodded thoughtfully, "That's right, but if I escape now, I'm afraid I'll get lost in the sandstorm."

"How about... which of you knows how to roar like a bear?"

Just as the two were racking their brains over the enemy outside the cave, a smaller figure suddenly appeared among them.

Chen Xiang and Zhu Chenfeng looked over when they heard the sound and breathed a sigh of relief when they saw it was Pei Sining.

"Your Highness, why are you out here?"

"Stop talking nonsense and hurry up. Who among you can imitate a bear's roar?"

Pei Sining did not answer Chen Xiang's question, but looked at everyone with a serious expression.

Anqing hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward and said, "I will."

"Immediately imitate a bear's roar, while the others bang on the wall and scream in pain."

Without saying a word, Pei Sining pulled An Qing out from among the group and pushed him a few steps toward the cave entrance.

Anqing looked back at Chen Xiang blankly, and after receiving Chen Xiang's confirmation, he cleared his throat and imitated the roar of a black bear.

"Roar..."

After the black bear roared in Anqing, Pei Sining quickly turned around and frantically pounded on the wall with a dagger in her hand.

Seeing this, Chen Xiang also started hammering in a similar manner, letting out screams as he did so.

The others, who were still stunned, hurriedly followed suit and banged on the wall, screaming in pain.

With the help of several people, the bandits stopped abruptly as soon as they entered the cave. The two men looked at each other and hesitated for a moment.

After a while, the two mustered their courage again and tried to enter, only to hear the screams inside grow louder and louder.

The two were instantly terrified, completely disregarding the storm behind them, and screamed as they ran towards it.

The two shouts quickly reached the cave entrance, and Chen Xiang looked at Pei Sining in surprise.

"Your Highness, how do you know this method will work?"

"I was just guessing. Anyone with a bit of common sense would think, how could there be black bears in the desert?"

Pei Sining was merely using the fear of the night and the mystery of the cave to deliberately create an air of mystery.
