The cave is not very deep, but it is tall and wide, and well ventilated.
Qin Nianyi didn't find where the gap was. Mrs. Li said that there might be a very small gap in the top of the cave, which allowed the wind to come in.
Almost in the middle of the cave, there is a large rock wall protruding, like a natural screen, dividing the cave into two parts.
Qin Nian and Mrs. Li slept on the floor against the wall of the cave, with the protruding stone wall above their heads.
Once the bed is ordered, this stone wall will serve as a ready-made headboard.
Su Bi slept on the other side of the stone wall, quite close to the cave entrance. In the morning he showed Qin Nian and Mrs. Li his fingers, which had become quite flexible.
Qin Nian and Mrs. Li were both very happy. Qin Nian said that they would finish nailing the bed early tomorrow and make dumplings in the evening to celebrate.
Listening to the heavy and soft breathing of the grandfather and grandson, he hoped to get better soon.
If he gets better, Qin Nian won't have to do the rough work like nailing the bed.
Su Bi tried to use his internal energy to heal his wounds, and he was able to regain some strength, feeling much better than before.
The night fell silent.
The next day, just as the sky in the east began to turn pale, Mrs. Li woke up and turned over and sat up.
"Grandma, there are no roosters on the mountain to wake people up, how can you wake up so early?"
Qin Nian's voice was filled with sleepiness.
Mrs. Li smiled and said, "There is no rooster, but there are birds, and the bird calls would have come in a long time ago.
You don’t need to get up yet if you’re sleepy. Sleep for a while longer.”
Mrs. Li put on her shoes, tidied her hair and came over. Seeing Su Bi sitting on the bed, she was stunned:
"Su boy, who helped you up?"
Su Bi laughed softly: "Grandma, I'm much better now. I got up on my own."
After practicing Qigong all night to heal his injuries, he was indeed much better.
"Oh, it's not easy to be able to speak now."
Mrs. Li's face was full of joy: "Grandma will take you out first so you can go to the bathroom. I'll cook when you come back."
Su Bi shook her head slightly: "Grandma, please help me get a sturdy wooden stick."
"You want to go out by yourself?"
Su Bi nodded.
Mrs. Li hurriedly handed over the wooden stick in her hand. She was leaning on the stick before because she was hungry and needed the support to walk.
Later, when she was able to eat her fill and was no longer hungry, leaning on the stick became her habit.
At this moment, hearing Mu Gun asking her to take the stick, Mrs. Li handed over the one in her hand.
Su Bi smiled and shook his head: "Grandma, please help me get a slightly longer stick."
Mrs. Li looked down at the wooden stick in her hand. It was indeed a little short for Su Bi to lean on.
Mrs. Li chuckled, went outside the cave to pick out a long wooden stick, came in and handed it to Su Bi.
Su Bi leaned on it and stood up very slowly. His whole body was trembling. He stood for a while and then began to move slowly towards the cave entrance.
Mrs. Li was afraid that he would fall, so she followed him. As long as Su Bi could move by himself, she would not lend a hand to help him.
Mrs. Li is a wise woman.
It seemed like a century had passed before Su Bi finally emerged from the cave, his forehead covered in sweat.
Mrs. Li chuckled: "Su Bi, good job."
Su Bi nodded and moved behind an ancient tree far away from the cave to relieve himself.
When Su Bi came back from outside, Qin Nian had already gotten up, washed up, and made himself clean.
Su Bi finally sat on the edge of the bed.
Qin Nian asked softly: "How do you feel?"
Su Bi smiled, his voice very low: "It's only a few steps, and it was just a round trip in the blink of an eye.
It took me so long to walk, but I feel a sense of accomplishment and I am getting better soon.”
Qin Nian was also very happy to hear Su Bi say this.
The breakfast was millet porridge with red dates and a boiled egg for each person. Qin Nian bought the millet and red dates in the county town a while ago.
She took out a part of it and put the rest in the space.
After dinner, when Qin Nian was lying on the bed, Geng Tian came.
Qin Nian smiled happily: "You came at the right time, I have an extra helper on the nail bed."
Geng Tian glanced at Qin Nian, without much smile on his face: "Xiao Nian, my mother asked me to come."
Ye Meizi's outhouse was located in the northwest corner of the garden behind the main house. A pit was dug from Henan Heng and a frame was nailed with wooden boards on top, which was very stable to stand on.
The area is also surrounded by wooden boards, but there are gaps between the boards.
Yesterday at midnight, Ye Meizi went to the toilet. As soon as he squatted down, he saw two black shadows through the gap between the wooden boards and jumped onto the roof of Qin Nian's house.
Ye Meizi was so frightened that she squatted there and dared not move.
She knew that Qin Nian was not at home and was not worried about the safety of Qin Nian and Mrs. Li.
She listened carefully, but there was no sound coming from her door, so no one should have gone to her house.
Ye Meizi wanted to go back to the house, but was afraid of alarming the two dark shadows. Since she was discovered, she might as well kill her.
She squatted there, not daring to move. Fortunately, not long after, the two black shadows jumped onto the roof of Qin Nian's house again and returned the way they came.
During this process, Ye Meizi was so frightened that she didn't dare to breathe.
Ye Meizi waited until the two shadows disappeared before she stood up and moved her numb legs back to the house.
Geng Zhenhai was out on patrol and was not at home. Ye Meizi did not disturb anyone at home and sat there until dawn.
After dawn, she went to Qin Nian's house to check.
The outer door was locked, with no signs of being pried open, but there was a small hole in the window paper, which was newly pasted.
Those two people must have found out and left after discovering that Qin Nian and Mrs. Li were not at home.
After breakfast, Ye Meizi asked Geng Tian to go up the mountain to tell Qin Nian to stay on the mountain and not to go down the mountain even during the day.
If you need food or other things, just let Geng Tian know and they will buy them for you.
In a word, Qin Nian must not go down the mountain.
Mrs. Li was so angry that she yelled, "Who on earth is it that wants to make things difficult for us?
You keep sending assassins to kill us, your grandparents?"
Qin Nian snorted coldly:
"Want our lives? I'm going to the capital in a few days and kill the man who sent the assassin. I don't believe this matter will never end."
Geng Tian was shocked: "Xiao Nian, Auntie said that you must not go down the mountain.
Don't mess around, you can't beat those people."
"I can fight it."
Su Bi's beautiful face was filled with murderous intent, and she whispered:
“Geng Tian, when you get down the mountain, tell your aunt that Xiao Nian will not be coming down the mountain for a short time.
When my wounds are healed, I will go to the capital with Xiao Nian. The person who must get rid of Xiao Nian is most likely the Minister of the Central Secretariat Ji Lin.
And behind him is Xuan Wangfei Ji Haitang."
"My Xiao Nian is so far away from them and has no grudges against them. Why do they have to kill her?"
Su Bi whispered: "King Xuan has been to Yi County, and he helped Xiao Nian.
Princess Xuan has also been to Yi County, and she has also met Xiao Nian. "
Mrs. Li took one look at Qin Nian's face, which was brighter than the moon, and immediately understood.
Geng Tian also understood: "Ah? Then, what should we do?"
This young man, who was as innocent as Qingye, was completely confused and panicked.
"No problem!"
Qin Nian and Su Bi spoke at the same time and said the same two words.
