The village chief was the happiest; he hadn't misjudged or trusted the wrong person!

Sure enough, Su Nanxi found a water source and also a place to spend the night!

That's fantastic!

Although it's a bit far from the main road and somewhat remote, the location is indeed nice, so it's worth taking a walk!

Luckily they arrived first; if others had found out, it wouldn't have been their turn!

Finding a suitable cave would be ideal.

All we need to do is guard the entrance, and we'll be safe!

Everyone feels much more at ease and doesn't have to be so tired!

Luckily, he was with the Mo family, otherwise he really wouldn't have been able to find a place like this!

You probably wouldn't find such a great place without a bit of luck!

"Hurry up, come in and move your things in! Go inside and find a place to stand. It's crowded and chaotic, so don't worry about bumping into things! There's room for everyone, so don't fight or argue!"

Seeing that the village chief was having difficulty speaking, Su Nanxi handed him the loudspeaker.

The village chief was delighted and happily took it, then began giving instructions.

The sudden noise startled several large birds into flight!

They ran away quickly, afraid it would be too late.

I've never heard of this thing before, it's terrifying!

Get somewhere else immediately, saving your life is the priority!

They're making a racket, they're definitely not going to leave anytime soon!

The cave is large enough that someone must have stayed here before, and there are traces of human activity.

Su Nanxi thought there would be plenty, but after settling in, she found that it was just enough!

If someone were a bit overweight, the flowers would probably be quite crowded.

If it's too crowded, there's nothing we can do. This is the only place we could find nearby, so we'll just have to make do!

It's better than camping outdoors!

It's exhausting to constantly be on guard against attacks and ambushes from people and wild animals.

Besides, if there is fog or dew at night, you might feel unwell while you're asleep!

These are extraordinary times, and having a place to stay is already a blessing, so don't be too picky!

The village chief, being an experienced man who had seen much of the world, quickly adapted to his role, made a swift decision, and efficiently arranged everything.

A stream flows past the cave, but the current is not strong, so it will take some time to catch the fish.

While it was still light, we asked for everyone's opinions and decided to cook something to fill our stomachs tonight.

So a group of people got to work.

Everyone was used to doing a lot of work and was very familiar with it. They didn't dare to slack off under the village chief's watchful eye, and since it wasn't a very heavy job, they all participated enthusiastically.

Some were gathering firewood, some were fetching water, some were setting up scaffolds, and some were watching the children—everyone was busy and having a great time!

The large pots that everyone brought came in handy at this time. Food was distributed according to the number of people and their appetite. Children ate less, so they naturally received less, while adults who ate more naturally received more.

Since Su Nanxi couldn't get involved, she simply watched from the sidelines.

The Mo family lacks nothing, so they have nothing to worry about.

Anyway, the Mo family wasn't particularly hungry, they were a bit tired, but that was nothing, a good night's sleep would solve everything!

If that still doesn't solve the problem, then there's nothing I can do. I can't sleep for another day!

Everything proceeded in an orderly manner, and the village chief did not reject people from other villages. Since they had all come together, they might as well stay together!

As long as you don't do anything reckless, he can turn a blind eye.

It was obvious at a glance that they were after the Mo family, and he really couldn't turn them away. The Mo family members were mostly silent!

Those from other villages knew their place, so they were very proactive and eager to do any job. They never complained when asked to help.

They could have gone with the people from their own village, but they chose to go with the people from Changna Village, convinced that it would be better to follow them!

Therefore, they waited for the people of Changna Village to make a move, and as soon as there was any movement, they acted quickly, otherwise they would fall behind!

So along the way, the people from other villages rarely spoke. They probably feared that saying too much would lead to making mistakes, so they tried to say as little as possible, or better yet, not at all!

At first, they were quite apprehensive, worried about being ostracized or even driven away by the people of Changna Village, but after following them for a while, they saw no intention of driving them away, so they gradually relaxed.

So they just kept following along. When the people in front walked, they walked; when the people in front stopped, they stopped too, keeping up with the pace of the main group!

The people of Changna Village all follow the Mo family's lead. The Mo family knows that people from other villages are following behind them, but they don't react, so they just let it be.

"While it's still light, everyone go out and gather as much firewood as possible. We still have one night to burn! We can't go on without a fire tonight!"

The village chief shouted, and those who had nothing to do quickly went out to collect firewood, not daring to go far, staying nearby.

Fortunately, there was a forest outside the cave entrance. In this kind of weather, the trees were mostly dry, making them easy to collect. We were able to gather a large bundle in no time!

Everyone was probably terrified that there would be no fire at night, and that it would be pitch black. They were also worried that wild animals might come, so they worked even harder to collect as much as possible!

What if it all burns out in the middle of the night? Who would dare to go outside and collect it?

I'd rather be a little tired now and collect more than pick up things in the dark in the middle of the night, in an unfamiliar environment, especially outside a cave—it's really creepy!

I guess everyone thought the same way, so they worked very hard to gather firewood.

Being out here is nothing like being at home; you have to make do with whatever you can find, and forget about good food and drinks!

Big pot porridge, mixed porridge, basically just boiled until cooked through, it's good enough if it's edible, don't expect it to taste delicious!

But after a day of hunger and eating wild vegetable pancakes, anything piping hot to drink is a delicacy!

One person held a steaming bowl of porridge—I don't know what kind—and looked completely satisfied!

Everyone wants a hot, refreshing drink!

After taking a few sips, I felt completely revitalized.

It instantly relieved all the fatigue of the day!

The Zhou family didn't have much grain, so the Mo family helped them out. There were no conditions; they just wanted the Zhou family to help out more.

The Zhou family, aware of their situation, went to help without hesitation.

However, Ms. He was not very willing. She felt that there were so many people, one more or one less would not make a difference, and she could choose not to go.

Her feet were in a lot of pain, so she had a reason not to help.

Zheng didn't go because she had to look after her three children, but everyone else went.

Except for the He family.

When Madam He saw that Madam Zheng hadn't gone, she felt she had even more reason not to go either.

So she sat there contentedly, even pretending to be pitiful, but unfortunately no one paid any attention to her.

Wang took her child to collect firewood. She didn't want people to look down on the Zhou family, and she didn't want others to say that they were freeloading!

Zhou Yuzhu followed, and the two of them picked up the trash while keeping an eye on the child.

When it was time to drink the porridge, everyone took their bowls and went over there. No one called out to Mrs. He. Mrs. He thought someone would bring it back to her, so she sat and waited.

As a result, nobody paid any attention to her, and they didn't even acknowledge her existence.

In the past, Zhou Changlin would definitely have brought it to her, because he treated He Shi very well because of the child.

But things are different now!

He Shi only started to panic after everyone had finished getting their porridge.

"I don't have any! Why didn't you leave me more? There's too little!"
