“Huh!?”
Xiao Linghui blinked her big round eyes, looking at the dilapidated state of the royal cemetery, her eyes full of confusion.
"Sister, did the gravekeeper abandon the royal cemetery and run away because he knew my uncle had ascended the throne?"
After all, this royal cemetery belonged to the previous dynasty, so it is understandable that the gravekeeper escaped.
"I don't know." Xiao Lingyan shook her head.
"But I heard that the gravekeepers of the royal cemetery are all die-hards. They will guard the cemetery for generations and will not leave easily. We should be careful."
"Let's not go under the mausoleum. It's full of traps and very dangerous."
"Okay." Xiao Linghui nodded, "Let's go to where they live first to see if there's anything to eat."
Xiao Lingyan looked around and took Xiao Linghui towards a row of houses.
"Pfft, pfft, pfft~~"
As soon as she opened the door, a large spider web blew onto Xiao Lingyan's head.
Xiao Lingyan frowned and raised her hand to shake off the spider web on her head.
The room was full of dust and it was obvious that no one had lived in it for a long time.
"Sister, wait for me at the door. I'll go in and take a look."
The room was covered in dust. Xiao Lingyan stopped Xiao Linghui and went in alone to search around.
After a while, Xiao Lingyan threw a pile of usable things at the door.
Quilts, cotton-padded clothes and other items are quite thick. You can put them under the sun to remove the moldy smell and then use them.
Some of the younger scouts shivered while sleeping by the fire at night and really needed these warm things.
It was also because they had no experience in traveling long distances, so they only brought dry food with them. It was really cold to sleep in the wild and in the mountains at night.
In the past, she followed her aunt around everywhere, and her aunt would ask the God King for anything she needed. She felt that fleeing and fighting were not hard at all.
Now that she has come out to explore the world with her own people, she realizes that it is really hard to survive in the wild without her aunt and the protection of the God King.
Xiao Lingyan threw out the usable things in the room, and Xiao Linghui sorted out the things her sister threw out in the yard.
After working for a long time, they confirmed that the gravekeeper in the royal cemetery had indeed run away.
It’s better this way, otherwise if you meet the ruthless gravekeeper, you’ll have to go through a lot of trouble.
"We only found three bags of rice and some dried meat hanging from the rafters."
Xiao Lingyan wiped the dust off her face and looked at the things that were moved out of the kitchen.
"There's still more than half of lard in the oil can, and a large can of salt..."
These things can be used to cook meat porridge, which can last for quite a while.
Now the key problem is that she can't cook.
"Sister, can you cook?"
Xiao Lingyan pursed her lips and looked at Xiao Linghui.
Third Aunt’s cooking is quite delicious, and my younger sister might have inherited her cooking skills.
Xiao Linghui was stunned and pulled the corner of her lips awkwardly.
"I can try."
She has never cooked or been in the kitchen.
But she remembered how her aunt cooked when she was on the run.
Just throw everything into the pot and bring to a boil.
As long as it is cooked and edible, there should be no problem.
"Is there a pot?"
Xiao Linghui glanced at the things on the ground and turned to look at Xiao Lingyan.
"Yes!" Xiao Lingyan nodded, "In the kitchen, there are two pots."
“But the pot isn’t very big.”
Speaking of the big pot, Xiao Lingyan had a flash of inspiration and looked at Xiao Linghui with bright eyes.
"Sister, do you still remember the huge stone pot that my aunt made herself?"
Xiao Linghui's eyes lit up, "Remember!"
"That big pot of porridge will surely be enough for everyone."
Xiao Linghui thought about it carefully, "I remember the stone pot was nearby."
"Sister, wait here for everyone. I'll go get the stone pot."
"No." Xiao Lingyan quickly grabbed Xiao Linghui's arm.
"I'm going to move the stone pot. You wait here for everyone."
Her sister was so young, how could she dare let her go to the mountains alone to find a stone pot?
Although her sister is better at martial arts than her, she is still worried because she is not as tall as her.
"That won't work." Xiao Linghui frowned, "I'm worried about you going alone."
Neither of the sisters felt comfortable going out alone to look for the stone pot.
But they especially wanted the stone pot that belonged to my aunt.
The most important thing is that there is a water source near the stone pot, and their water is almost used up, so they can just go and replenish some water.
"Then let's go together." After arguing for a while, the two sisters said in unison.
"Okay!" Xiao Lingyan smiled and took Xiao Linghui's hand. "Let's go find the stone pot together. It's full of water, and it might be impossible for one person to carry it back."
Although they had taken two strength-enhancing pills, they were still very strong.
But the disadvantage is that they are both too young.
She is only 12 years old and only 145 cm tall. Her younger sister is only 5 years old, a head shorter than her, and only 115 cm tall.
Her sister is considered tall among her peers, but even so, she always feels that her sister may not be as tall as the stone pot.
"Yeah!" Xiao Linghui nodded, "Then let's go quickly."
When the two sisters walked out of the royal cemetery, Xie Qingheng and the Boy Scouts had just reached halfway down the mountain.
Originally, Xiao Lingyan wanted to ask Xie Qingheng to take people to the royal cemetery to wait for them and not to touch the tombs in the imperial cemetery.
But seeing that they were still so far away from the foot of the mountain, they estimated that by the time they returned, these people would not have reached the foot of the mountain yet, so the two of them went straight to look for water and stone pots.
"Sister, be careful."
Xiao Lingyan walked in front with a sword, and turned back from time to time to give Xiao Linghui some instructions.
There were a lot of dead grass and trees in this area. She walked while cutting the dead vines that blocked the way.
This scene reminded her of the time when her uncle was leading the way in front, holding a knife to clear the way.
When she thought of the time when her uncle and aunt carried her and her sisters on the journey, her heart was filled with happiness.
Why!!
When I walk the same path again, I feel different as a person and my state of mind is completely different.
She was full of excitement when she first left the capital with the Boy Scouts, but now she just feels tired.
If she had known, she wouldn't have brought all the Boy Scouts with her.
You should choose someone who is physically strong and a little older to lead you out.
Those seven or eight-year-old children were indeed very strong compared to their peers, but they had been in the mountains for so many days without food or water, and every night she could hear the children sobbing.
What a sin!!
Xiao Linghui followed closely behind Xiao Lingyan, looking around vigilantly.
There couldn't possibly be no wild animals in the deep mountains.
My aunt has killed many wild animals in the deep mountains.
It's just the beginning of spring, and there's not much food in the mountains. The wild animals are all hungry. Who knows, a starving wild boar or wolf might suddenly jump out from somewhere.
Xiao Linghui pursed her lips and looked around with anticipation and excitement.
"Look, sister!!"
Suddenly, Xiao Lingyan stopped and pointed ahead and shouted in surprise.
