When they reached the end of the path, it was connected to a cave.
I saw that the connection position was not flat, but kept getting higher. If you look closely, it seems like there is a huge stone blocking it.
Xia Manni couldn't help but think of an old saying.
'One man can hold the pass against ten thousand men.'
They actually encountered such a dangerous and difficult-to-find location.
The cart definitely couldn't pass through, so Xia Manni used a machete to cut some of the surrounding vegetation, then turned the cart over and used the vegetation to cover the top.
And they can only crawl over one by one.
"Big boy, you crawl over first, then mom will carry the third and fourth kids up, and you catch them over there."
The rock was a head taller than Xia Manni, but fortunately it was not very smooth, so she had places to grab with her hands and feet while climbing.
Big Brother crawled over. He had become noticeably stronger after being out for a few days.
Xia Manni thought, perhaps his body was adapting to such energy consumption.
Then Erwa climbed up and climbed down by himself.
Then he ran to the rock where the potatoes were.
Next came the third child and the fourth child, who were successfully "carried" over by Xia Manni and the eldest child respectively.
Finally, there is Xia Manni.
When Xia Manni did these actions, she basically didn't think about anything.
She had to avoid showing that she was afraid of heights, otherwise the children would worry.
She and Big Boy walked quickly to the potatoes.
There was only a layer of dry weeds under the potatoes.
Lying on top are potatoes.
Xia Manni looked at Potato's belly rising and falling in surprise. If she was not mistaken, Potato must be alive.
But its limbs were a little stiff, and its legs were covered in blood.
Its eyes could no longer be opened, and its mouth could hardly be closed.
Only the belly declares that the potato is still alive.
"Mom, is Potato still alive?"
There was a cry in Erwa's voice. Usually, Potato was the one who was most attached to him, and it was because of Erwa that Potato came to this family.
"Don't cry, Erwa. Potato is still breathing. Let's try to save him."
Speaking of saving, how can we save them?
Si Ni'er: "Mom, some of the herbs we brought with us can treat injuries. I wonder if they'll work? Why don't we give them to Potato and try it?"
Everyone in the Xia family was a little surprised. This seemed to be the longest sentence Si Ni'er had ever said.
But they didn't have time to think so much. When they heard Si Ni'er, the only one in the family who knew medicine, say that there was medicine that could cure it, then it could be cured.
So the eldest child took the second and third children and moved all the belongings from the other side of the path over here by climbing over the rocks.
"Si Ni'er, they are all here. Find out which medicine is yours."
Da Wa handed the bag containing the herbs to Si Ni'er.
In addition to the herbs that their family had dried, the bag also contained the pills and powders that Si Ni'er had asked Dr. Zhou for before they set off.
There were also some that Xia Manni and Si Ni'er bought at the pharmacy in the county town.
Si Ni'er didn't say anything and searched for the herbs carefully.
He actually looked a bit like Doctor Zhou.
"Mom, I need to bandage the potatoes."
"Good Si Ni'er, tell me what you want and I'll go find it."
Before Xia Manni could say anything, Erwa couldn't wait any longer. In fact, he was a little unsure. Was the dog lying there silently really his potato?
Now Si Ni'er is his only hope.
"We need water, cloth, and branches."
"Water? Erwa, come with me to find some water and branches."
When they went up the mountain, they had already drunk all the water in the water bag. They would not leave here for the time being, so they might as well find some water.
The eldest child thought that the second child was a bit of a hindrance here.
"Hey, bring your weapons."
Xia Manni reminded the eldest and second child, and then said, "Don't go too far. The place where we went up the mountain to fetch water before should be nearby."
As Da Wa took the things, he said, "I understand, Mom. Don't worry."
Erwa looked back every few steps. At this time, Sinier was smashing the herbs with stones.
The herbs are to be applied to the injured areas of the potatoes.
Xia Manni accompanied Si Ni'er in making the ointment. She stood up and looked around the large rock.
After Xia Manni walked around, she did not enter the big cave.
Sanwa looked at the person circling the big hole and asked, "Mom, what are you looking at?"
"I didn't see anything."
She must have smelled it right just now, there was a strong smell of blood here.
As for what kind of creature this smell came from, human or animal, Xia Manni couldn't judge.
Maybe this smell is the reason why potatoes suddenly go crazy?
Dogs must be sensitive to blood. She noticed some scratches on the ground, perhaps there had been a fight here before.
“Boom.”
It was the sound of a stone falling to the ground.
Xia Manni picked up a stone and threw it into the cave. All she could hear was the sound of the stone falling to the ground.
There were no abnormalities afterwards.
Sanwa came over and pulled Xia Manni's sleeve: "Mom..."
Sanwa has already realized something, maybe his mother guessed that there is something inside?
Xia Manni waited for a while, but there was still no movement in the cave.
So, my heart, which had been hanging in the air, finally settled down.
At this moment, Si Ni'er had already wrapped gauze around Potato's injured limbs.
"Mom, I've got everything."
I saw that the eldest boy had branches and a water bag tied to his body, and the second boy was holding a small pot with half of water in it.
