At this time, Yunwen covered her mouth and laughed, pointing at me with a smile, and asked, "Tell me, do you often do this? Make some exaggerated reports to win praise. Otherwise, how do you know so much?"

I quickly said, "No, no, no, I didn't do that. I did it with real guns and real bullets. I have never been so obscene."

I explained so seriously that I felt like I was making things worse. Yunwen smiled and moved her face closer to me. It was so close that I could smell her natural feminine scent mixed with the fragrance of petals after she had just taken a shower. I immediately felt a little breathless.

She looked at me playfully and maliciously and said, "Really? Some people are serious, but I know exactly what they wanted to do just now. Otherwise, why would they let me blow the fire?"

My face suddenly felt hot as if it was about to burst into flames. This was the first time in my life, in the past twenty years, that I had been so embarrassed. I hurriedly tried to explain in order to retain a slightly majestic image of myself in her heart, but I stuttered and wanted to slap myself a few times.

But Yunwen put her finger on my lips and said, "Don't be nervous. I would be very disappointed if you didn't have any thoughts about me."

I swallowed, not knowing how to respond.

Seeing me like this, she left a kiss on my face and said, "Actually, you have saved me so many times, I should give you everything, so if you really want to do something, I won't stop you."

I breathed a sigh of relief and gently stroked her face with my hands. She snuggled in my palms, so gentle and so dependent.

If he could be frivolous with such a beauty, then what's the difference between him and a beast?

"I'm not doing this for you to repay me, but because I promised you. As a man, you should keep your word. You don't have to feel like you owe me anything or repay me. Also, thank you for telling me this tonight. It gave me a better understanding and gave me more confidence! Come on, let's go in quickly, otherwise we'll catch a cold." I said.

She looked at me and nodded happily.

It seems that what Bai Lu said at the beginning was reasonable. We can just pretend we didn't see it. They were all alarmist. The ancients always liked to demonize things they couldn't explain, such as demons, animals in the mountains that scared away giant-footed savages, etc. I think 80% of them were made up.

So with this thought in mind, I no longer thought about what the creaking sounds were, and just thought of it as a mole or pangolin digging the ground.

Facts have proved that I was indeed overthinking. Nothing really happened afterwards. We ate, played, enjoyed the mountains and rivers, and had endless fun. With steamed buns, we could have some wild grass roots, wild vegetables, cold-mixed black fungus, etc. to go with the meal. The food cost was greatly reduced, and we felt fuller and more satisfied than before.

After the gun exploded, I had no way to go down the mountain to collect anything. Otherwise, how could a human like me have the strength to fight a wild beast? I'm not that stupid.

Therefore, the matter of finding an alternative residence that I mentioned to Bai Lu before was basically shelved, except for one time when we all walked along the mountain road of City Wall Mountain together, from the solitary peak on this side to the solitary peak on the opposite side. This was the longest road we had ever walked, and there were no stone steps to climb up the solitary peak on the other side. The mountain was too high and steep, and when we saw that we couldn't climb up, we gave up and went back, just to collect some wind and take a walk.

With the stone mill and a full warehouse of wheat, there is no shortage of steamed buns. In addition, they can also pick wild apricots, wild peaches and other fruits, wild vegetables and roots. Basically, food is in short supply, but the food is mostly vegetarian and meat is hard to find. However, Yunwen said that some of her flight attendant colleagues only eat vegetarian food to lose weight, so they will not lack too much nutrition.

Although humans are omnivores, there have been great monks who have never eaten meat and yet have lived a peaceful life, or even lived to be a hundred years old. I don't ask for a long life, but it is a good reason to use the limited food I have now as a way to maintain my health.

In this way, we lived peacefully in this cave. Apart from being a little damp and cold, with more mosquitoes and some unusual noises coming from the cave walls from time to time, there were basically no other major problems. Compared with our previous residence, it was simply a palace. The craftsmanship of the floor tiles was top-notch, and the surrounding decoration was even more of a pleasure.

Moreover, there is a spring pool on the top, where you can take a bath when it is hot in summer. Isn’t that a treatment we can imagine in the Huoquan Old House?

But even though everything was so stable, I still felt uneasy these days, especially because the noises in the walls were getting louder and louder. Sometimes they lasted for half the night, which triggered my uneasiness. But I really wanted to settle down, and thought that I could just hold on until I heard rescue. I didn't want to struggle anymore, so I blocked out those noises.

Ever since Yingchun saw me get the awl, she has found other fun things to do. She started hammering rocks and carving stone sculptures. Her craftsmanship is really good and their sculptures are lifelike. Bailu still applies medicine and gives acupuncture to Yunwen on a regular basis every day to prevent the onset of rabies. She also often stews some herbs to replenish our qi and blood, or prepares some suitable food according to the weather to replenish qi and nourish the blood.

As for Yunwen, in addition to keeping track of the days and carving calculations on the wall with charcoal, she also often looked at the bronze artifacts and studied the small figures on them. As before, she would take a piece of stone and carve and write on it to help her organize her thinking.

As for me, I look for firewood every day, chop it with an axe, and collect wild fruits and mushrooms. I also exercise. I exercise in the army on weekdays and try to train every day. I also asked Yingchun to help me make dumbbells with stones and wooden strips to continue to put pressure on the muscles, which will make it easier to control in the future. I also made wooden stakes and the like. In short, I have one goal, which is to never let myself feel unfamiliar with my body.

This is a necessary quality for me as a former special forces soldier!

These days, everyone was basically idle and there was no need to worry about anything every day, as most of the things were trivial. So one day when I saw the four vertical and one horizontal charcoal marks carved by Yunwen on the wall, I realized that nearly a month had passed in the blink of an eye.

In recent days, it has been cloudy and rainy, and the rainfall has increased significantly.

"Yunwen, if we calculate now, what month is it? Do you remember?" I asked.

"Probably between June and July." Yunwen replied.

"During this period, some monsoons will bring moisture from the ocean, and our islands in particular will be easily affected, so increased rainfall is also normal," said Bai Lu.

"Oh, what I hate most is rainy days. The cave is already damp, and it becomes even more damp and cold when it rains. I feel uncomfortable all over." said little Yingchun.

"You're not going out anyway, and if it rains you can just use a lei (a bronze vessel similar to a wine jar) to collect rainwater. You don't have to go out to the mountain spring to wash up for the next two days. Look at it from another perspective, aren't things different?" Bai Lu comforted.

Although we didn't really believe there was any danger in the cave, Yunwen, Bailu and I already knew what was recorded in the scrolls, so to be on the safe side, we never opened the door in the wall again, let alone went near the underground river. As a tacit rule, we considered that place a restricted area, although no one said it verbally.

Therefore, Bai Lu said that we usually go to the mountain spring to wash.

At this time, I couldn't help but mutter: "June or July? Isn't that the plum rain season?"

As soon as those four words appeared, Bai Lu and Yun Wen both widened their eyes. After all, this word was closely related to certain things in the description of the scrolls left behind by the Milong Camp, but I blurted it out.
