Chapter 031 New Residence
Although there were no cracks in the ground on the mountain, many young trees had fallen down in the earthquake, causing considerable obstacles for the people of Yunlu Village who were on their way.
At first, everyone was worried about being attacked by wild animals, but after walking for a long time, they didn't see a single living creature. Occasionally, they found pheasants and rabbits that were crushed to death by fallen trees.
Of course, there is no reason not to take the prey that comes to your door automatically. As more and more prey are found without being attacked, everyone's tense nerves finally relax a little.
Of course, we couldn't relax for too long.
The further you go in, the harder the mountain roads become.
Half-human-high weeds, fallen trees, steep terrain, fallen vines or thick tree roots, each one made their walk difficult and breathless, and many people fell more than once.
We would occasionally take a break during the journey, but because the cave was too far away, we didn't have much time to rest. Basically, we had to continue on our journey as soon as we caught our breath. We even had lunch by just grabbing some dry food that we had made at home.
Later, when the elderly, the weak, women and children were completely unable to walk, the strong men from each family either carried them in their arms or on their backs.
The village chief's family and the Zhang family had no shortage of able-bodied men, so Lu Xuan helped pick up the children of two other families in the village, namely Wei Xiang's daughter Wei Yunyun, and Doufu Liu's grandson Fang Yuan.
Others were out of breath just walking on their own, but Lu Xuan, holding a three-year-old child in each hand, walked as if it were flat ground, as relaxed and leisurely as if he was strolling in his own backyard.
Not only Lu Xuan, the other three members of the Lu family also left much more easily than others.
The others were so tired that their clothes were soaked with sweat and their breathing was so heavy that they seemed to be about to faint at any time, but the Lu family members still walked out of the autumn outing.
At first, the audience in the live broadcast room couldn't help laughing at the sharp contrast between the two sides, but soon someone realized that something was wrong.
Lu Xuan is a person with super powers, so it's normal for him to be physically strong. He was able to parkour in the mountains when he went into the mountains alone before, but why can't the Lu family do that? They are not super powers!
Although Lu Qing and Lei Yan seemed to be sweating a little, anyone would sweat from the heat if they kept traveling in the hot summer, so it was completely different.
Some speculate, "Could it be that the anchor's family has exceptional genes, so his sister and brother-in-law are also gifted?"
[Lei Yan's surname is not Lu.]
[…That’s right, so what’s going on?]
Not only did they feel strange, Lu Qing and Lei Yan were also puzzled, wondering when they became so powerful.
Lu Xuan continued on his way calmly, as if he was completely unaware of the audience's discussion.
The audience discussed it for a long time but couldn't figure it out, so they simply gave up and continued to watch the villagers' excitement.
Seeing how tired they are from walking, I really want to teleport them to a hovercar and let the anchor drive it.
The trees in the mountains are so dense that even a hover car wouldn't be able to operate.
[A hoverboard would be great too. Putting the child on it, buckling them up, and letting them fly would be much easier.]
Lu Xuan thought, don’t just talk about it, if you have the ability, then give it to me.
If the goods can’t be delivered, just give them as gifts and let him buy them himself, understand?
The audience in the live broadcast room said: I don’t want to understand.
In short, it was just a constant rush, rest, rush, rest, rush, rush...
It was not until sunset, near dusk, that Lu Xuan, who was in charge of leading the way, finally stopped in front of a stunningly tall tree and said to the exhausted villagers behind him, "We're here."
The dizzy villagers raised their heads and followed Lu Xuan's gaze, and saw a dark cave entrance not far ahead.
Is that where they'll be for the next while?
·
Lu Xuan took out the villagers' luggage from the space and placed it under a giant tree for them to claim. He then took his family, the village chief, Wu Cheng, and other young and strong men who still had the strength to the cave entrance in front.
The entrance of the cave doesn't look big, only a little over two meters wide and high.
At first, the village chief and his companions were worried whether the cave would be big enough for the 140 or 150 villagers to live in. But when they walked into the cave, they found that there was another world inside.
I thought the cave was only a few hundred square meters in size, but it became more spacious as I went deeper. The overall shape was a teardrop, with the entrance being the tip. The top of the cave was four or five meters high, so people wouldn't feel oppressed at all living in it.
The village chief and others walked around the cave and estimated that the cave was about three to four thousand square meters, which was much larger than they had expected.
There are more than 40 households in the village. Leaving aside the entrances and exits, on average each household can occupy at least 60 to 70 square meters. It is not big, but definitely enough.
Wu Cheng looked around and wondered, "This cave is so big, how come there aren't any wild beasts living here?"
Lu Xuan said, "Originally, there was a huge rock blocking the entrance to the cave. Even if a large beast discovered the cave, it couldn't get in."
Small wild animals may occasionally stay here for a while when passing by, but most small wild animals do not like to live in the "Dabieye". They prefer small caves that can just accommodate their size and feel more secure.
Finally, this rare large cave became empty.
Zhang Chengming looked surprised and asked, "Huge rock? Where is the huge rock?"
Lu Xuan: "Aren't there a lot of rubble at the entrance of the cave? That's the original boulder."
The village chief and others: "..."
So the question is, how do boulders turn into rubble?
Audience in the live broadcast room: Hehehe, of course it was smashed to pieces with one punch during the live broadcast.
[I've been looking forward to this scene since I knew they were coming to the cave. Hahaha, it really paid off.]
[Honestly, I can totally understand why they were speechless. After all, I was also stunned when I saw the anchor smash the boulder into pieces with one punch.]
At that time, the boulder was even bigger than the cave entrance. Lu Xuan seemed a little small standing in front of the boulder. However, this "little man" smashed the boulder into pieces without blinking an eye, which surprised countless spectators.
To this day they still can't figure out whether the anchor is a wood-type mutant or a strength-type mutant.
The village chief and others looked at each other, thinking that since Lu Xuan had been enlightened by the gods, it seemed normal for him to have some supernatural qualities. So they suppressed their inner shock and turned to discuss the matter of cleaning up the cave.
Li Tie touched the cave wall and said, "It's quite dry inside, and the smell isn't too strong. I'll have the women in the village come over and give it a quick clean. Then, I'll burn every corner with hay to get out any hidden bugs so they don't bite the children. Then, it should be habitable."
"The temperature inside the cave is much cooler than outside. It should be very comfortable to live in."
"It's just that the cave is a little too deep. There's almost no light at the bottom." Zhang Wende looked into the dark area and said worriedly, "The elderly, the weak, women and children would be scared living in a place like this."
Li Tie pondered and said, "We'll just light a candle and make do. Our current conditions are limited, and having a cave like this to live in is already great. How can we be picky?"
Lu Xuan said, "I do have something useful here that I can lend to the villagers temporarily."
"What is that?" The people in the cave looked over curiously.
Lu Xuan opened the system mall and bought a few camping lanterns from the unlocked camping equipment.
Zhang Chengming came forward and looked curiously at the three identical objects that appeared out of thin air in Lu Xuan's hand. "Is this it?"
Lu Xuan hummed, "This is a camping light given by the gods for outdoor use, called the Nut Light."
As the name suggests, this camping lamp is made based on the shape of a nut. It looks delicate and cute. The palm-sized lamp looks small, but the lighting range is very wide.
Lu Xuan pressed the touch screen above the Nut Light, and a large area in the cave was instantly lit up.
Everyone was shocked, "Oh my god! It's so bright!"
"What kind of light is this? Why is it so bright?"
Lu Xuan nailed the hook that came with the lamp into the stone wall and hung the three nut lamps in three different directions.
When he turned on all three lights, the dim cave was suddenly brightly lit, and every corner was illuminated, leaving no blind spots.
Everyone's faces flushed with excitement as they exclaimed, "It's so bright! It's just like daytime!"
"You don't need to use a tinder to light it, just press it and it will open? This is amazing!! It's worthy of being a magical item!"
"Lu Xuan, the gods are too good to you!"
The audience in the live broadcast room looked at everyone's startled reactions and felt relaxed all over. They couldn't suppress the raised corners of their mouths.
In addition to eating shows, the biggest attraction in ancient live broadcasts is the scene where the ancient people who have never seen high-tech products scream excitedly after the host takes out the goods purchased from the mall. It is really never boring to watch.
The Star Alliance's high-tech is more than just a JMGO light. If a small camping light is this good, won't it scare them to death? Humph!
Li Tie approached the Nut Lamp and carefully touched it twice, his eyes full of admiration. He turned around and asked Lu Xuan, "Can this lamp be used forever?"
Lu Xuan: "Need to charge."
Others wondered, "What does charging... mean?"
Lu Xuan explained: "It needs to be exposed to sunlight. Currently, it can be used for seven days when fully charged. When the light becomes dim, it means it is out of power and needs to be exposed to sunlight for half a day before it can be used again."
In addition to charging with stars, you can also pour energy liquid into the energy tank to charge, which is faster and consumes less energy.
As long as you don't damage it intentionally, you can keep using it. Such a lamp only costs fifty points, which is almost the same as picking it up for free.
Lu Xuan noticed that Lu Chen was looking at the Nut Lamp on the wall with curiosity, so he simply bought him another one and taught him how to turn it on.
The touch screen lights up when you touch it once and turns off when you touch it again, which makes Lu Chen so curious that he keeps turning the lights on and off as if he has got a new toy and having a lot of fun.
Not only the children, but also the adults around were very tempted to have such a new thing. However, due to the lack of face, they were too embarrassed to compete with Lu Chen for it, so they could only stand by and watch eagerly.
Lu Chen, on the other hand, was more sensible and took the initiative to give up the light for others to try.
Li Jing and Zhang Chengming are usually quite steady, but at this moment they were having fun like little boys. Even Lei Yan joined in the fun for a few times, his eyes full of surprise.
Outside the cave, other villagers were resting under a giant tree. As screams continued to be heard from the cave, some people noticed a clear light coming out of the black cave entrance. Their curiosity was aroused, and many people forced themselves to walk over with trembling legs to check the situation.
The villagers looked at the cave, which was as bright as day, their faces filled with shock.
"Oh my god! What's going on? Why is it so bright in the cave?!"
"The lamp that the gods gave to Lu Xuan? Isn't that a magical item?"
"Just expose it to the sun and it will last forever? Is that true?"
