Shen Yuanzhou held the two black-banded snakes in his hands and asked Shen Li for credit, "Little sister, go see if there are any pheasants later. We will drink dragon and phoenix soup tonight."
Chen Li nodded, "It's okay if you don't have it, we still have dried pheasant at home."
"Yes, my little sister is really thoughtful."
Shen Yuanzhou stuffed the two black-banded snakes in his hand into the cloth bag. Don’t mention it, they were quite fat, almost two kilograms.
When the smoke in the cave had almost dissipated, they lit torches and went in.
The smell in the cave was not pleasant, a mixture of snake smell and smoke smell, but that was not what everyone cared about right now. The further into the cave one went, the cooler it became, which meant there might be water inside the cave.
"Tick, tick~"
"Changshan, there's a sound of water dripping inside."
Shen Changshan also had a happy look on his face, "Let's go."
They quickened their pace and soon reached the deepest part of the cave. They were happy when they saw the pool of clear water.
"There's so much water. The wives at home have been complaining for a long time. Now they can finally take a bath."
All the men present were stunned. Yes, every family has women, and they have heard a lot of complaints from them during this period.
Shen Changshan was also happy. "We'll talk about this tonight. Now let's go back and inform the village chief and others."
"Yes, yes, yes."
"We were all overjoyed."
A group of people hurried back to the camp and happened to meet another group of villagers who had not found a water source.
"Uncle Si, there is a cave ahead with water in it."
Now that there was no one around them, they didn't have to be as careful as before.
"How far?"
"Not far, two miles at most."
Shen Zhenyuan looked over there and said, "Then please pack up your things and go over there. It will be more convenient to get water."
"good."
Everyone wanted to complain when they heard they were about to set off again, but when they heard they had found a water source, their complaints died down immediately.
Finally there is good news today!
It took the team a quarter of an hour to reach the cave and set up camp. Fortunately, everyone was so tired from walking today that they hadn't started to make a fire and cook, otherwise it would have been troublesome.
Shen Zhenyuan first went in to check out the water in the cave, then came out and said to everyone, "There's enough water in the cave. Please don't pollute the water source when you draw water."
"Also, if you want to fetch water for washing, you can do so from 4:00 to 5:00 AM. Women can go inside the cave to wash, but remember not to pollute the water source."
The female prisoners in the team were all excited at once. God knows how uncomfortable they felt from the itchiness on their bodies.
They all knew what happened to them when it came to polluting the water source, and they might have to fetch water again tomorrow in case someone had bad intentions.
Then you will have to drink that person’s bath water tomorrow!
Wow, so disgusting!
Shen Zhenyuan obviously knew about this matter and could not rely on everyone's self-awareness, so he sent two people to guard the water source in the cave.
As soon as the men in the family heard that they could wash, they were ordered around. Although the weather was hot, the water in the cave was quite cold, so they had to wash with hot water.
The men in the village went to collect firewood and took trees and cloth to work in the cave.
The women in the team were just cooking. If the village chief hadn't given the order, they would have wanted to go wash.
Shen Changshan also took Shen Jingyuan and Shen Qian'an to build a simple shack in the cave.
Just find a random spot in the cave and surround both sides with cloth, and that’s it.
About 50 meters into the cave, there is a bend that can block the view from outside.
After having a meal of dragon and phoenix soup in the evening, the Shen family was satisfied. Shen Li and the women in the family carried hot water and went to the cave.
There were people guarding outside the cave, and there were a few torches lit inside, so you could see the surrounding environment clearly.
Chen Li asked Xu Taohua to wash first. Next to her were her grandmother and two aunts. The cave was filled with the sounds of women bathing and talking.
Chen Li was the second one to take a shower. She used two buckets of water and took a shower every day. There was only some smell of sweat on her body, but she felt relaxed after taking a shower.
After Chen Li came out, Lin Cuicui and Li Qiaolan went in to wash.
Everyone went to bed quite late tonight, and by the time Chen Li wanted to go to Longhu Village to find out what was going on, it was already past 10 o'clock in the evening.
Her mother and sister-in-law were already asleep, and Tuanzi was also sleeping soundly. Chen Li got up quietly and walked to Shen Changshan.
As soon as Shen Li passed by, Shen Changshan and Shen Jingyuan woke up. Seeing that it was Chen Li in the moonlight, they both sat up.
"Ali, what's wrong?"
Shen Changshan and Shen Jingyuan looked around, thinking something had happened.
Because we encountered bandits today, we arranged for people to keep watch at night, and Shen Changshan and his men had to guard the second half of the night.
"Dad, it's okay, I need to go out for a while."
Shen Changshan frowned and asked in a low voice: "A Li, you are not going to Longhu Village, are you?"
Chen Li wanted to say no, but when she saw the see-through look in her cheap father's eyes, she nodded decisively.
"Little sister, I'll go with you."
Shen Changshan nodded and said, "Let your elder brother go with you."
Shen Li refused, "No, I can do it alone."
Seeing that the two were about to say something else, Chen Li added: "You will only be holding me back if you go."
Shen Changshan: ...
Shen Jingyuan: ...
It hurts!
"I'll be back as soon as possible."
After Chen Li finished speaking, she turned and left, her figure quickly disappearing into the night.
Only two heartbroken men were left staring at each other in the dark.
