Chapter 113 Living in the Cave



Si Ni'er took a quick look and asked, "Do you still feel uncomfortable?"

After hearing this, Wu Dayong smiled and said, "Thank you, Doctor Xiaoxia. I feel much better. I won't drink the decoction... I still have to use the wound medicine..."

Xia Manni understood what was going on and couldn't help but find it a little funny when she saw Wu Dayong trying his best to cover up.

Si Nier nodded, not quite understanding, and said, "Alright, it's just right for the potatoes."

After saying that, she turned around and looked at Xia Manni who was standing behind her. Xia Manni asked, "What's wrong, Si Ni'er?"

Si Nier frowned and said, "Mom, is it true that dogs and humans can't use the same dosage of medicine?"

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Xia Manni couldn't hold it back any longer and started laughing first.

Wu Dayong also leaned against the stone, smiling softly.

The eldest boy understood and started laughing too.

Sanwa's face was full of ridicule.

Only Erwa looked confused and asked, "What do you mean, Si Ni'er? What's wrong with the potatoes?"

Si Ni'er scratched her head and said embarrassedly: "The potatoes are fine, Uncle Dayong ate too much..."

The laughter and joy of the crowd seemed to bring them closer together.

Xia Manni's resentment towards this strange man was also reduced. After all, she knew that she had taken the wrong medicine and did not blame Si Ni'er.

"It's okay, Si Ni'er. Uncle Dayong just slept for two more days."

Si Nier: You might as well not explain

Wu Dayong changed the subject at the right time and asked, "What did you find?"

Da Wa stepped forward and introduced them to Wu Dayong one by one.

After listening to this, Wu Dayong said to Xia Manni, "When I feel better, I'll take you to find a better one."

Xia Manni smiled and said, "Okay, as long as Brother Wu keeps his word."

Wu Dayong didn't explain anything further, just nodded.

After waking up, Wu Dayong was able to do simple activities, but he had injuries on his back and arms and could not do any physical work.

But when he saw the Xia family busy at work, he always wanted to help.

He saw the eldest son organizing things in the cave, the second son chopping wood, the third son weaving mats, and the fourth son drying herbs.

He looked at Xia Manni again, who was making tung oil.

Tung oil is quite laborious to make, but she does it very seriously.

Wu Dayong was wearing the bandage that Sini'er made for him, which was tied with two tree sticks, which was very interesting.

He walked up to Xia Manni and asked, "Are you making tung oil?"

Xia Manni glanced at Wu Dayong, who looked a little funny, and said, "Yes, it's too dark in the cave."

He dragged his injured arm and was about to help Xia Manni.

"Hey, hey, hey, don't move. You'll be almost well in a few days, so you should take a rest."

"Then I can't just wait and eat for nothing, right?"

"Go and look after the potatoes..."

There were puffs of laughter all around, and Wu Dayong had to admit that he really couldn't help much.

Fortunately, he was only pregnant with a baby. He believed that by tomorrow, he would have more strength and be able to do some work.

Otherwise, where would he put his face if he had to let a young lady and four children take care of him?

Don't tell this to others and let your brothers laugh at you.

Thinking of the brothers who were kidnapped, Wu Dayong felt a little depressed.

This terrible chaotic world...

Wu Dayong was very obedient. He walked to Potato, but he was not idle either.

Because he found a bow and arrow in a corner of the ground.

"I bought that for some kids before, but they didn't learn it well."

Wu Dayong laughed out loud and said, "Haha, it's okay, I'm here."

Erwa and Dawa's eyes lit up as they asked, "Uncle Dayong, do you know how to shoot arrows?"

"Of course, there's nothing Uncle Dayong doesn't know about the Eighteen Martial Arts."

Erwa was surprised: "Really, Uncle Dayong? What can you do?"

Wu Dayong cleared his throat and said, "Not only can I perform fancy moves, I can also climb walls and fly over rooftops..."

Xia Manni curled her lips. She remembered that when she was holding the machete, Wu Dayong dodged backwards.

"Madam Xia, don't you believe it?"

Wu Dayong asked Xia Manni with a smile. He saw Xia Manni's expression, which was full of disbelief.

Xia Manni raised her face and asked with a smile: "How can I believe it?"

Then he pointed at his injured arm with the wood in his hand.

Wu Dayong showed a look of hurt and said, "Mrs. Xia has a sharp eye. She can't fool you. Hahaha..."

"But I used to be a hunter. When I get better, I'll take you hunting."

Wu Dayong looked at the children's disappointed expressions and quickly added another sentence.

Xia Manni felt that Wu Dayong was not telling the truth, so she could only wait until his injury healed before testing his strength.

However, this person doesn't seem to be a narrow-minded person, but rather a chivalrous warrior.

He has a decent appearance, so it's reasonable to call him a hunter.

It was almost evening when Potato finally opened his eyes.

But there was some sadness in its eyes, maybe it was really in pain.

It has been humming since it woke up, and Erwa has been guarding Potato all the time.

Xia Manni quickly comforted him, "Don't worry, Erwa. If Potato can open his eyes, then he can survive."

Wu Dayong also said: "Yes, Erwa, look, isn't Uncle Dayong already well?"

Erwa always felt that there was something wrong with what he said, but the only person whose medical skills he could trust here was Sini'er.

By this time, the cave was almost cleaned up and they had made two straw mats in total.

Including the straw mats I brought from home, there are three beds in total.

The straw mat and the rocks in the cave were all covered with hay.

There was an iron basin in the cave with burning mugwort in it.

Xia Manni had inserted torches into the cracks in the rocks of the cave.

The eldest child designated places for things, including food, tools, weapons, and clothes.

He has already filled it up.

Although it's still a bit dark, it's much better than before.

The bloody smell from before was gone too.

Xia Manni and Sinier lived on the inside, while Wu Dayong and the three boys lived on the outside.

In the evening they made a meal of wild vegetable porridge and served it with vegetable steamed buns.

In addition, Xia Manni also cooked the only meat in the house.

It was the wild rabbit that Liu Miaoyan gave him. After reaching the cave, Da Wa tied the rabbit to a rock.

After feeding it occasionally for a few days, the rabbit's spirits began to improve.

Wu Dayong originally said he would help kill the rabbit, but when he turned around, Xia Manni was already chopping it skillfully with a machete.

There was also a peeled rabbit skin next to it.

Wu Dayong looked at Xia Manni with a different look in his eyes.

He was originally worried that the woman would not dare to kill the rabbit, and the children would not want to hurt the weak rabbit.

Unexpectedly, not only did Xia Manni cut the wood skillfully, but the children also watched very attentively.

The Xia family is not an ordinary family...

Braised rabbit meat, porridge and steamed buns to celebrate their move into the cave.
