Everyone was already in place outside the tent, each holding a bowl and lining up to eat. Jiang Yan also immediately joined the queue to wait for her turn to eat.
Yue Jiu Nian had been secretly observing those people. When she saw them queuing up to eat, she sneaked over to see what they were eating. But when she saw that they were eating noodles, she ran back.
Seeing Yue Jiuzai eating dried fish in the tree, she nimbly climbed up in a few strides: "Hey, Jiuzai, guess what their dinner is? I bet you'll never guess!"
Yue Jiuzai was munching on her favorite dried fish, which was spicy. She chewed casually and said, "What am I eating? In this place, all we have is bread, canned food, or instant noodles. Do you think we can eat a Manchu Han Imperial Feast?"
"Hehe, you guessed it, it's noodles, but not the instant noodles. They actually cooked a huge pot of noodles in a big pot! I even saw eggs!"
"Is this so special? Noodles are simple and convenient, it's great to eat this."
Yue Jiu thought about it and realized it made sense. She had always brought dry food when she went camping before and had never tried cooking. So when she saw those people cooking noodles, she found it strange because clean water was very precious in these places, and cooking was a waste of water.
Yue Jiuzai turned to look at the place where the fire was burning and said, "It's about time. Let's go to sleep. There's no water source in this mountain. Although it's a beautiful place, I haven't found any. But since they dare to cook, it means they know where the water source is. We're running low on water. Maybe we can find a water source by following them tomorrow."
When the two of them went into the mountains, they only brought some food and a few clothes. The food was dry rations they bought temporarily, and the clothes were brought back from when the Jiang family returned. So they didn't have much water, and they had to use it sparingly.
Yue Jiu Nian also realized that the current situation was not good for them. Although they could go to find water, they were afraid that once they left them, they would not be able to find it. It was fine when they went up the mountain, but now that they were on the mountain, if those people found a place and went into the 'field', then it would not be so easy to find them.
"Sigh~ It's already ten o'clock, it's almost time to sleep. Jiuzai, you should play less on your phone and get some rest, be careful your phone runs out of battery. There's not much power left in the spare power bank."
Yue Jiu Nian decided not to sleep on the grass tonight. While scolding Yue Jiu Zai for playing on his phone, she climbed another tree and took out her clothes to cover her body to prevent being bitten to death by mosquitoes while she was sleeping.
Summer is too hot and there are many mosquitoes. Although she wears long pants, she is still wearing short sleeves. This situation makes Yue Jiu Nian very distressed.
Yue Jiuzai also took out her clothes to cover her upper body. She put away her phone and said, "Okay, I'm not playing anymore. The signal here is so weak, even if I wanted to play, I couldn't do anything."
As she spoke, she hugged the tree trunk through her clothes, preparing to sleep. However, before falling asleep, she habitually glanced at the spot where the firelight was.
After Jiang Yan finished dinner, Fatty took him back to his tent to rest. Everyone else also went back to their own tents, except for Lao Wu, Lao Hei, Uncle Zhao, and the others who were still chatting around the campfire outside.
When Uncle Zhao saw Jiang Yan being taken back into the tent, he raised his chin at him and said, "You really found the right person this time? Many people have tried to find other people before, but none of them succeeded."
Old Hei and Old Wu knew what Uncle Zhao meant. Old Hei chuckled and said, "Hehe~ Actually, I think this should be true. I sent people to look for it a few years ago. Didn't we hear that the Jiang family members had been scattered to the four winds that year? If Professor Jiang hadn't said it himself, we really wouldn't have been able to find them."
Old Wu also said, "I found this person based on the clues given by Brother Hei. But to be honest, this person was really hard to find. His father's side has already cut off contact with the main family. I was lucky to find him. If I hadn't been lucky, I really wouldn't have been able to find him."
Uncle Zhao listened to their conversation and thought for a moment before finally saying, "Alright, we've already caught them, so shouldn't we really give it a try? Hopefully, this time we'll actually find the descendants of the tomb's occupant; otherwise, we've come all this way for nothing, and we might even lose a few people."
Old Hei's face immediately darkened when he heard Uncle Zhao say that, and so did Old Wu. Anyone would be unhappy to hear someone say that you might fail and that people might die. However, they were able to tolerate it; they just looked a little grumpy, but in the end, they didn't curse.
