Heavy rain had been falling for three or four days in a row. Xu Da and his son and Feng Lun took advantage of the breaks in the rain to go out and drag back some wood.

"The water has already flooded over, and there are several landslides nearby." Xu Da wiped the water from his face. Feng Lun, who was twisting the corner of his clothes, also said, "Brother Xu, while the rain is a little lighter, you should drag some more wood back. It's dark now, and I'm afraid it will rain for a few more days."

"I thought so too." Xu Da took the ginger soup handed to him by his wife and swallowed it in two big mouthfuls.

Feng Lun was the same. This weather made him nervous. If the rain got heavier and there were more landslides on the mountain, he was afraid that he would not be able to get out of the cave.

As for the possibility of cave collapse, it is relatively small. This cave is a natural granite cave. Unless a dragon turns over, there will generally be no problem.

"Just drag it back once more. This wood is enough to burn." Old Mrs. Xu was worried about landslides, which was not something that humans could predict.

"Okay, don't worry, Mom. The wood is not far from here. We can drag it back in a quarter of an hour."

Old Mrs. Xu nodded, and she didn't let go of the anxiety in her heart until half a quarter of an hour later when Xu Da and the others dragged the wood back.

Seeing that everyone was there, Xu Ning said, "Dad, there's a hidden river in this cave. Should we go take a look? And wash up at the same time?"

Xu Ning has been in this cave for three or four days and has not taken a bath. He just washes himself simply every day. He feels like he is going rotten.

Xu Ning discovered the underground river in the cave yesterday when he was looking for a place to squat, but he didn't have time to tell others about it because it was too late.

"Let's go and take a look." The heavy rain was still pouring outside. In this situation, the Xu family was not afraid that the things in the cave would be taken away. In the end, everyone followed Xu Ning to the underground river deep in the cave.

The underground river was two or three meters away from where Xu Ning was standing. The water was very deep, and one could clearly see the fish on the surface swimming around in a crowded manner, as if they were rushing to get on the subway during the morning rush hour.

"So many fish!" Xu Feng's eyes lit up. The fish in the water sank when they heard the sound, and soon floated up again in dense groups.

"Oh my goodness, they are all black carps!" Black carps like to hide in dark caves, but Xu Da has never seen so many black carps of such large size in his life. The dense crowds of them are dazzling.

This is a disaster of snakehead fish!

Old Man Xu smacked his lips. Who said it wasn't true? He was so old, and the most fish he had ever seen was when his granddaughter was luring fish at the seaside, and then there was now. It was truly breathtaking.

No one present could understand how there could be so many fish in this cave. Xu Ning, who reacted first, took out the fishing net he had prepared early in the morning and poured all the fish in.

Suddenly, a crackling sound rang out from the cave, like a grand symphony. Xu Yuan, who was beside Xu Ning, quickly grabbed hold of him, who was nearly stumbling from being pulled by the fish. Xu Ning grinned as he felt the weight.

"Dad, hurry! Black fish feast, come and help!"

Finally, a few adults worked together to pull up a black fish weighing nearly 200 kilograms!

"This... this is too much." Zhang wiped the sweat from her forehead, and when she thought of how Xu Ning was almost dragged into the underground river, cold sweat started to flow down her face again.

"My daughter, don't be so impulsive next time!"

"That's right! You little girl, who are you trying to scare to death?" Old Mrs. Xu couldn't help but slap Xu Ning on the back, causing Xu Ning to cough.

"I was wrong. I was just afraid the fish would run away because of our numbers!"

Xu Ning smiled ingratiatingly, her smile like a blooming flower. Everyone knew her personality; she'd agreed to something, but she'd forgotten it the moment she turned around. There was nothing anyone could do, so they could only helplessly pretend they hadn't seen it.

"Leave a dozen big ones and put the rest back." Old Mrs. Xu patted her old waist. No one had any objection because the fish in the underground river were still swimming densely on the surface of the river, and there didn't seem to be many fewer.

These fish are not afraid of people at first glance and are easy to catch. There is no need to catch too many at one time. If you don’t handle them in time in this weather, they will easily go bad.

Of course, more than a dozen fish are not a small number. Old Mrs. Xu plans to pickle some of them, dry them and keep them, and use the rest to make fish soup.

The adults were processing the fish on one side, Xu Yuan was helping with a small bucket to fetch water for rinsing, and Xu Ning was looking at the underground river in deep thought.
