Yu Wenran chuckled and avoided several passing men in black on the road. The cave that Gu Yanyue pointed to was in the mountain behind the poplar forest.
When they arrived at the cave entrance, they found that the area was covered with lush vegetation and was almost impossible to move forward, which provided them with an excellent environment for hiding.
"Shh." Yu Wenran put Gu Yanyue down, made a gesture to silence her, and slowly squatted down. "Ayue, you stay here for a while. I'll go see if there are any large beasts like bears in the cave."
Gu Yanyue nodded to Yuwen Ran, indicating that she would stay here quietly and wait for Yuwen Ran to come back.
After Yu Wenran finished speaking, he patted Gu Yanyue on the shoulder and turned to leave, walking straight over the branches and heading towards the cave.
A moment later, Yuwen Ran came out of the cave again and returned to the place where he and Gu Yanyue had just hidden. He shook his head and said, "Ayue, this won't work. There are bears in this cave, and there's more than one. It seems we have to find a new place."
Gu Yanyue looked at the sky which was almost getting dark and rejected Yuwen Ran's idea of finding another place to hide. "Ran, no, it's getting dark soon and it's definitely not safe to walk at night. Besides, those men in black might be waiting for us somewhere. If we give up this cave and look for another one, we might fall into a trap they've set for us."
"Then I'll go kill them!" Yu Wenran suggested.
"No, Ah Ran, this is too dangerous. There are other ways." After saying this, Gu Yanyue turned around and jumped off the branch. A moment later, she climbed up again, holding a... beehive in her hand. It seemed that there was something else inside her clothes! ?
Yu Wenran chuckled. Sometimes he really didn’t know how Gu Yanyue’s little head could contain so many tricks.
Gu Yanyue squatted on the tree and put down the beehive in her hand. She took the opportunity to poke it when the bees were away. Facts have proved that the skills of poking hornets' nests learned in childhood can still save lives at critical moments.
Gu Yanyue broke off a medium-sized branch from the branch next to her, and then poured the contents of her clothes into the hive. Only then did Yu Wenran see clearly that what was in Gu Yanyue's clothes were actually berries!
After Gu Yanyue poured out all the berries, she picked up the branch and pressed the berries into the hive with all her might, turning the berries into juice and mixing it with the honey in the hive.
Meeting Yuwen Ran's puzzled look, Gu Yanyue explained, "Those berries are poisonous. Just two can kill a person. I'm not sure if this dosage would work on bears, so I picked quite a few for fear it wouldn't be enough. Ah Ran, I'll trouble you to take this honeycomb and lure all the bears out of the cave. Once they eat the honey in the honeycomb, they'll be poisoned and die. That way, we won't have to worry about them coming back after leaving."
Gu Yanyue handed the honeycomb with added materials to Yuwen Ran's hands. Yuwen Ran carried the honeycomb over a few trees and squatted on the tree in front of the cave. He threw the honeycomb far away at the bears' cave entrance. Coincidentally, the bees in the honeycomb also returned at this time. After hearing the movement, the bears discovered that there was a honeycomb outside, but it was surrounded by countless bees.
Although this bear is huge and has strong attack power, few people know that what it fears most is bees.
Gu Yanyue was shocked when she saw the bees coming out, thinking that the bears would abandon the hive on the ground and run away because of the bees.
The bear that came out to "watch the fun" was startled at the entrance of the cave and saw countless bees. It immediately ran out howling. However, perhaps it was because of its belief that food was more important than life that it did not forget to pick up the honeycomb thrown by Yuwen Ran at the door even when it was being chased by the bees.
Chased by bees, it ran away.
As the bear ran away, the two bear cubs in the cave also ran after it. When Gu Yanyue saw this scene, her jaw dropped. It turns out that there are foodies in the animal kingdom too?
Yu Wenran gestured to Gu Yanyue, telling her to stay where she was and not move until he had checked whether the cave was truly safe before coming down from her hiding place.
Yuwen Ran entered the cave again. This time he came out quickly and waved to Gu Yanyue at the entrance of the cave. There were no other living creatures in the cave. Yuwen Ran signaled Gu Yanyue to come quickly.
Gu Yanyue jumped down from the branch where Yuwen Ran had hidden her. She looked around and found that no one in black had followed her, so she quickly walked into the cave. The cave was very spacious, but smelly. There were many animal bones and corpses on the ground, as well as feces.
Yuwen Ran had already started cleaning silently. Gu Yanyue observed the environment in the cave and took over Yuwen Ran's job of cleaning the cave.
She asked him to go outside and prepare some wood, branches, etc., and she would make some simple traps and mechanisms later to prevent the man in black from discovering the cave and coming in to rest at night.
When Yu Wenran brought back the wood, branches and other things, the cave had already been cleaned up by Gu Yanyue. Gu Yanyue also laid some dry straw, which looked like a simple small bed.
By the time Gu Yanyue had finished making the mechanisms and traps and placed them at the entrance of the cave, it had already darkened.
When Gu Yanyue went to set up the mechanisms and traps, Yuwen Ran was not idle either.
Yu Wenran had already learned this skill since the last time Gu Yanyue taught him how to distinguish whether mushrooms were edible or not in Bai Youjin's forest.
While Gu Yanyue was setting the trap, Yu Wenran went outside and found a lot of non-toxic edible mushrooms.
In order to prevent Gu Yanyue from having another wild imagination and wanting to use some poisonous things to deal with something.
When Yu Wenran saw poisonous mushrooms, he picked them up to prevent any further harm.
It was completely dark. After setting the trap, Gu Yanyue took two pieces of dry wood that Yuwen Ran had picked up and taught Yuwen Ran the most primitive method there - drilling wood to make fire.
When Qin Ruoruo packed things for Gu Yanyue and Yu Wenran yesterday, she only hurriedly packed a few pieces of clothing.
Then she prepared some cakes, tea and other things in their carriage, fearing that something might happen to them in Qianzhou or they might get injured again. Qin Ruoruo even prepared some commonly used medicines and antidotes for them.
As for matches and other things, Qin Ruoruo calculated the time and found that the villa was not too far from Qianzhou. It would take at most one day and one night to reach Qianzhou City.
There are also restaurants and inns along the way.
Even if they couldn't make it in a day and a night, it was impossible for Gu Yanyue and Yu Wenran to abandon the well-maintained restaurants and inns and stay in those remote places, right?
So Qin Ruoruo didn't prepare the tools for making fire and setting up camp for Gu Yanyue and Yu Wenran.
