After hearing what Yu Qiaoshan said, the villagers in the cave fell silent, especially the family who recognized the two bags as their own. They knew that more than just these two bags of food must have been washed away, and they all started to worry about their own food reserves.

Even if the food was not washed away by the flood, it was soaked in water and the food supply for the second half of the year would be worrying.

Everyone couldn't help but become worried, hoping that the rain would stop, the sky would clear up soon, and the flood at the foot of the mountain would recede quickly.

This bag of food fished out of the water temporarily relieved everyone's hunger.

Yu Jiao really wanted to say that the things fished out from the flood cannot be eaten because they contain a lot of pathogens and are likely to cause dysentery and schistosomiasis.

But...it's too inappropriate to say this in the current situation.

People are so hungry that they can only care about survival and have no time to worry about illness and hygiene.

"Let's not eat this food for now." Yu Ruhai suddenly said in a low voice.

After all, he was a doctor. He had read in ancient medical books that many plagues after floods were caused by unclean food and water. He knew the pros and cons. "What we fish out of the water is not clean. Let's wait for a day or two and see what happens down the mountain."

The Yu family members nodded. They had already eaten wild fruits and meat, so they were not that hungry.

Some families who had not gone up the mountain to find food could not help but dig out their food and borrow iron pots to cook.

Yu Jiao couldn't help but remind him, "The water down the mountain is dirty, so you should wash the food several times before cooking."

She then dug out some moxa leaves and licorice from her medical box and said, "Put them in the pot and cook them with the rice. Eating them will be good for your health."

Dysentery and schistosomiasis are extremely easily transmitted from person to person. If these villagers really get sick from eating something, and stay together, even if she and the Yu family don't eat, they will hardly be spared.

The villagers took the moxa leaves and licorice and thanked Yu Jiao. They still believed in Yu Jiao's medical skills and were cautious, not daring to cut corners. They followed Yu Jiao's instructions and carefully washed the rice several times in clean water before cooking it on the fire.

The firewood and hay stored in the cave have become less and less. The firewood originally piled here was some dry firewood that Zhou Xiang and his companions occasionally picked up when they went hunting in the mountains. Usually, these hunters would just spend the night in the mountains, and it was not winter now, so there was not much firewood in stock.

If I want to make a fire tomorrow, I'm afraid I'll have to go outside to find wet firewood.

With nothing to do, many people wrapped themselves in clothes, closed their eyes and went to sleep.

Seeing that Yu Qizhe had fallen asleep while leaning against the stone wall, Yu Jiao leaned beside him and closed her eyes. Yu Fuling moved closer to her, leaned on Yu Jiao's knees and planned to sleep as well.

Yu Jiao woke up several times. The fire in the cave had gone out and it was pitch black all around. She could only hear snoring and the sound of people turning over. It must have been night.

Yu Jiao fumbled to gently move Yu Fuling, who was lying on her legs, away, stretched her numb legs, touched the fire lighter in her sleeve, and stood up very quietly.

"Do you want to get up at night? I'll go with you." A very light voice came from the side. Yu Qizhe stood up and held Yu Jiao's hand.

Yu Jiao didn't expect that even though she was so gentle, she still woke him up.

She didn't want to get up to go to the bathroom, but wanted to go see the sky outside.

However, it was not easy to tell Yu Qizhe, so she just agreed with him. The two of them held hands, and Yu Jiao blew on the tinder. With the faint light from the tinder, the two of them avoided the people lying on the ground and went out of the cave.

After leaving the cave, a cool breeze blew over, and Yu Qizhe stood in front of Yu Jiao.

Before Yu Jiao could react, he had already taken off his coat and put it on her.

"Are you cold?" Yu Jiao said.

Yu Qizhe shook his head, helped her tie the collar of her coat, and said in a low and warm voice, "It's not cold. You have taken good care of my body. I am in good health now. I won't be unable to withstand the wind and rain like before."

Yu Jiao curled the corners of her lips and smiled. Yu Qizhe was originally weak and had a cold body. Yu Jiao specially added herbs for treating cold and weakness to the medicinal diet to replenish his body. He was caught in the rain yesterday and soaked in the water for so long, but he was fine. It can be seen that the medicinal diet for regulating his body was effective.

Yu Qizhe took Yu Jiao by the hand and continued to walk towards the cave entrance.

Yu Jiao looked up at the sky and stretched out her hand to catch the raindrops. The rain was a little weaker than when Yu Jiao and the others were picking herbs, and the raindrops were obviously much smaller.

Although the sky was gloomy, it was not as gloomy as the day before when the rainstorm and dark clouds covered the sky, as if it was covered with a layer of black curtain.

Yu Jiao carefully observed the dark sky from west to east and saw a very faint light in the southeast. It flickered a few times and was then hidden behind thick dark clouds.

"Right here, I'll keep an eye on it for you." Yu Qizhe pointed to an empty space and said to Yu Jiao.

It was so late, he didn't want Yu Jiao to go to the toilet in the woods. After all, it was not safer in the mountains.

The terrain here is low. Even if someone comes out of the cave, they won't be able to see this place unless they walk over here.

Yu Jiao was still looking up at the sky. After hearing what Yu Qizhe said, she looked towards the open space and realized that he wanted her to solve her physiological problem there. Her face couldn't help but feel slightly hot.
