Chapter 482 No One on the Top of the Mountain
Ye Li slept until dark and woke up. Xiao Xun was by her side.
"woke up?"
"Yeah." Ye Li responded, and asked in a hoarse voice, "When?"
"We just had dinner." Xiao Xun reached out and brought the food from the small stool on the ground. "I brought it back for you directly. It's still hot. Hurry up and eat."
Ye Li touched his stomach and felt hungry after sleeping for the whole afternoon.
She propped herself up on the bed, leaned against the wall, and stretched comfortably before reaching out to take the bowl from Xiao Xun's hand and asking casually, "Where are Xiaomu and Xixi?"
"It's downstairs." Xiao Xun said, "There's a bonfire party tonight. Everyone's gathered around the fire and chatting. Do you want to go?"
"Well..." Ye Li shook his head: "I just want to stay here comfortably."
Ye Li held the bowl and started eating. "Not bad, it's delicious."
"Haha..." Xiao Xun laughed twice: "Thank you for the compliment."
"You did it?"
"Yes." Xiao Xun said, "It just so happens that they are lining up people to take turns cooking, so I volunteered to do breakfast starting today, for a total of seven days."
"My cooking skills have improved. It's much more delicious than what I made in the Farmland Tribe."
"Of course I have to put more effort into making food for you."
There was no light in the room, only an oil lamp, which was not suitable for reading.
Ye Li snuggled in the quilt and talked to Xiao Xun. At about eight or nine o'clock, the bonfire party outside finally ended, and Xiaomu and Xixi came home.
"Dad, Mom, why don't you go downstairs and play? Uncle Qichen just told us a story. It was so interesting and everyone enjoyed listening to it."
"It's cold outside and I'm too lazy to get up."
"No," Xixi said, "I'm not cold at all by the fire."
"So what story did your Uncle Qichen tell me? Tell me about it..."
The next day, Ye Li and his friends officially began to integrate into the life of the tribe.
Ye Li led the people in the tribe who were good at planting to plan all the arable land in the tribe and discussed sowing next spring.
Men like Xiao Xun and Wu Xuan joined the patrol team, holding guns and guarding on the top of the mountain, alert to the enemy coming from all directions.
Xiaomu and Xixi followed Jiang Mei's two children running all over the mountain and having a lot of fun.
Ye Li and his group are all capable people. They are all respected and admired, and they live a very harmonious life.
Spring goes and autumn comes, and in the blink of an eye, it has been almost a year since I settled here.
Autumn is the harvest season and everyone is busy in the fields.
Even some of the people standing guard on the top of the mountain were transferred to help in the fields.
Thanks to Ye Li's technical guidance, their harvest this year was much more abundant than in previous years.
This winter, they can eat as much as they want without having to worry about running out of food.
"Where's Xixi?" Ye Li came back from work in the fields and didn't see Xixi, so he asked the person next to him.
"I didn't see it." Everyone in the tribe shook their heads.
Ye Li walked all the way to the house. Xiao Mu was reading a book in the house. He looked up when he heard the voice and said, "Mom."
"Where's Xixi?"
Xiaomu said, "Uncle Qichen is on guard today, so she and Uncle Qichen went to the top of the mountain to play."
"This girl!" Ye Li sat down on the bed tiredly, "She goes to the top of the mountain to play all day long. I really don't know what's fun in it." Ye Li looked at the big Xiaomu and remembered that when they were young, they helped him with things, but when they grew up, they stopped doing it.
It seems that we need to find an opportunity to let them work in the fields and learn survival skills in the apocalypse.
"Or should I go call Xixi down?" Xiaomu asked.
"Forget it." Ye Li waved his hand: "It's almost time for dinner. With her love of food, she will definitely come down after smelling the food."
"Oh." Xiaomu responded, lowered his head and continued reading.
Ye Li looked at his son who already looked like a little adult and couldn't help but smile. Children grow up so fast, they look different every moment.
As the sky gradually darkened, a brazier was lit in the cave, illuminating the surroundings.
Everyone who had worked all day sat around the long table, waiting for the meal to start.
Ye Li, Xiao Xun, and Xiao Mu were all seated, but the little girl Xixi was nowhere to be seen.
"Why hasn't she come down yet? The aroma of food is everywhere, there's no way she didn't smell it."
Xiao Mu immediately stood up and said, "I'll go take a look."
"It's dark, be careful with the road." Ye Li warned.
"Yeah." Xiaomu nodded and immediately turned around and walked up the stairs to the top of the mountain.
Not long after, Xiaomu came back panting. He looked panicked and said, "Mom, there's no one on the top of the mountain, and I didn't see Xixi either."
