Chapter 141 It's too painful for me to follow you!

The group trudged through thorns and brambles, and finally stopped in front of a cave when night fell.

Having a cave as a shelter is naturally the best thing. After all, building a temporary residence is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and may not be safe.

After putting down the luggage, Huo Jianguo was the first to go into the cave to check it out. After making sure that it was safe and there were no problems, he called everyone else in.

The cave is a naturally formed karst cave, which is amazing and looks like a masterpiece of nature.

The jagged rocks on the top of the cave resemble the scales of a giant dragon, gleaming with a mysterious light in the afterglow that filters in from the cave entrance.

The stalactites on the cave walls are in various shapes and forms. Some look like galloping horses, some like dancing fairies, some like birthday stars offering peaches, some like flying swans, and some like mermaid sleeves. They are colorful and beautiful. The ground at the entrance of the cave is as smooth as a mirror, and there is a small hole every ten meters or so. Looking around from the entrance, it seems as if you are in another world.

A warm stream seeps out from the rocks, dripping from the top of the mountain like a string of pearls, splashing crystal water on the ground. The water splashes sway in the breeze, creating ripples in circle after circle.

Under the sunlight, the water splashes like colorful butterflies dancing in the air.

Su Mei felt like she was taking part in an adventure in the wild. The beauty here was breathtaking, giving her a visual feast that could not be described in words. Nature was so beautiful that it was breathtaking.

Because it was already dusk and it was about to get dark, Huo Jianguo was not busy arranging the hunting.

Together with Su Mei and his brothers, he found some dry grass from outside and built a few simple beds.

Su Yongcang was responsible for going out to collect firewood, while Su Mei and Su Xuanhu started a fire in the middle of the cave.

The fire lit up the cave as bright as day.

=Soon, the group made preparations to live in the cave. Huo Jianguo picked a bunch of wild fruits and asked Su Mei to share them with everyone.

He took a wooden stick and began to grill the fat fish caught in the deep pool.

Although Huo Jianguo's cooking skills were not very good, he was very good at roasting game. The fish in his hands was turned over and over by him, and soon it gave off an aroma that made people salivate.

The fish skin gave off a crackling smell of being burnt. Soon Huo Jianguo finished grilling the first fish. He handed it to Su Xuanhu, who then stuffed the fish into Su Mei's mouth: "You must be very hungry, grandson, come and eat!"

"She is the granddaughter, and I am the good grandson." Su Shengxue said as he stretched out his hand to tear the fish meat from Su Mei's hand, but Su Xuanhu slapped his hand away.

"You little bastard, you have no respect for your elders. What good is your reputation? You're just an old bachelor who can't find a wife." Su Xuanhu gave Su Shengxue a cold look.

Su Shengxue's face suddenly turned bitter: "You are really my grandpa. I am only 24, how come I am a bachelor?"

"You're not old at 24?" Su Xuanju clicked his tongue twice. "My neighbor Lu Ergou is only 20 years old, but he's already the father of three kids. Your brothers got married earlier than you, but no one cares about you."

"Is it because no one is interested in me? I just have high standards and haven't met my destined soulmate yet. There are countless girls in the surrounding villages who are in love with me!" said Su Shengxue.

"Girls in love with you?" Su Mei glanced at Su Shengxue and shook her head immediately. "Fifth brother, I guess there are only a few female cats in love with you!"

"Grandpa, look at how Su Mei talks. She's a girl, isn't she ashamed?" Su Shengxue didn't expect Su Mei to speak so boldly. His face turned red immediately.

"Ashamed?" Su Xuanhu didn't think there was anything wrong with what Su Mei said. He sighed:

"You are not ashamed of not being able to find a wife, so why should my granddaughter be ashamed?"

"Okay, you win!" Su Shengxue leaned over and lay on the haystack. He looked at the stalactites on the top of the cave and said sourly:

"My granddaughter is my own granddaughter, and my grandson is the one I picked up from the stinking ditch when I was gathering. Alas!"

"Puchi!" Su Mei couldn't help laughing out loud when she saw Su Shengxue pretending to be so serious.

Play is play, and fun is fun. Don't joke about feelings. Although Su Mei teased Su Shengxue with Su Xuanhu, she still stuffed the fish into Su Shengxue's hand when she saw that Su Shengxue was pretending to be sad:

"Fifth brother, eat first. When you are full, find me a fifth sister-in-law as soon as possible!"

"You have some conscience." Su Shengxue was not polite. He took the fish from Su Mei's hand and started eating. He and Su Mei were closest in age and they got along most casually.

After eating the grilled fish, Huo Jianguo distributed a small amount of dry food to everyone.

After replenishing their energy, they lay down to sleep. Su Mei and Huo Jianguo leaned against each other, and they were covered with Huo Jianguo's military coat.

Because it was still early, no one was sleepy, so they lay down and started chatting about all sorts of things.

Most of the time, everyone was listening to Huo Jianguo. He had been to many places, had a wide range of knowledge, and shared many new insights.

While holding Su Mei tightly, he calmly told several brothers-in-law stories about the border. As the night deepened, the cave was filled with clamoring sounds.

Su Mei, who had finally gotten used to Huo Jianguo's snoring, became unable to sleep due to the snoring. She looked at the cave full of flames and felt that everything in front of her was so incredible, as if she was in another world.

The man in her arms slept soundly, but his hands were not as obedient as others. His big hands unconsciously explored Su Mei in her sleep, hugging her tightly from time to time, and occasionally pinching the soft parts of her body.

He even moaned in his sleep: "Wife, you are so soft, it feels so good to touch!"

Su Mei only then realized that this man was not honest at all when he slept. She even began to doubt whether it was not entirely her own initiative that she snuggled into his arms every time she fell asleep.

After being harassed by Huo Jianguo for half the night with her eyes wide open, Su Mei later forgot how she fell asleep. She only knew that she was awakened by the pain at dawn.

After waking up, Su Mei yelled at Huo Jianguo:

"Huo Jianguo, wake up! You're pressing on me, it hurts!"

This roar woke everyone in the cave from their sleepy eyes. Huo Jianguo yawned and glanced at Su Mei:

“It’s not pressed!”

"It's pressing on my flesh." Su Mei howled in pain, and then saw Huo Jianguo's body bounce out quickly.

Touching the painful swelling on her waist, Su Mei climbed up from the dry grass. She was almost crying:

"Huo Jianguo, it's too painful for me to follow you!"
