The Xu family discussed the matter very quickly. As soon as the big ship approached the hill where Feng Lun was, they lowered the small boat and asked Xu Da, Xu An and his son, as well as Xu Yuan, to go down and pick up Feng Lun and the remaining cattle and sheep, while the others waited on the deck to meet them.
Xu Ning's skill in operating the drone scared off those who coveted the opportunity, especially when they saw the Xu family's large ship and the fierce-looking Xu Da and his men, so those people gave up their thoughts.
Feng Lun carefully helped drive the cattle and sheep onto the small boat, and finally carried his own bag onto the Xu family's big boat.
The Xu family had already discussed how to accommodate Feng Lun on the way here.
"Brother Feng, please stay in this small room until we dock." This is the innermost room on the boat, right next to the toilet.
Further ahead are the rooms of the two elders of the Xu family, followed by the rooms of the Xu brothers and Xu Ning and Xu Yuan. Closest to the deck is the room of Mr. and Mrs. Xu.
If Feng Lun wanted to get out, he had to pass through the rooms of everyone in the Xu family.
In this way, Xu Ning can be reminded in time if he makes any occasional move.
Feng Lun had no objection to his temporary residence. The ship soon set sail again and gradually disappeared from the eyes of the frightened people on the hilltop.
After sailing for seven or eight days, at night when the ship docked for water, a storm suddenly broke out on the sea. The hurricane was howling, and even the large ship docked at the shore was shaking.
Xu Da and Xu An were the first to get off the boat, and the father and son tied a lot of hemp ropes together to secure it on the shore.
On the deck of the big ship, Xu Ning, the rest of the Xu family, and Feng Lun, who volunteered to help, dropped anchor into the water together.
"Don't take these cattle and sheep away for now, just tie them up with ropes!" Xu Ning made a prompt decision. The Xu family members nodded, packed up some things, and got off the boat.
The rain was getting heavier, and the group bent over, groping their way to higher ground in the darkness. Everyone was soaked by the rain, and they stepped deep and shallow in the mud, even opening their eyes was difficult.
Thunder flashed across the sky from time to time. Although it was scary, it also illuminated the way up the mountain for everyone.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, the group finally found a cave. The entrance to the cave was very small and would have been completely invisible if a bolt of lightning hadn't struck nearby.
Xu Ning was shivering with cold. Although summer was approaching, even adults could not bear being in the rain for so long, let alone her, a little girl.
Xu Feng was shivering with cold, and once inside the cave, Zhang stripped him of all his clothes. She wrung out the clothes first, then used them to wipe Xu Feng dry.
Xu Ning was also wringing his clothes. It was dark in the cave and he couldn't see anything clearly, so he didn't have to worry too much.
Xu Da, Xu An and Feng Lun were still busy outside. After Feng Lun and the others came out of the cave, Xu Ning groped his way to Old Lady Xu.
"Grandma, let me put out some firewood." Xu Ning didn't dare to take out other things, so he made the excuse that it was firewood he found in the cave.
Old Mrs. Xu was old and couldn't bear it any longer. "Put some firewood in. Your father should be back with some firewood later."
The cave soon became brighter. Xu Ning was worried that Feng Lun would come back and see them, so he quickly used a flamethrower to make a fire.
The bag they brought out was also soaked. After Zhang had dealt with her youngest son, she quickly put the bag next to the fire to dry.
Xu Yuan took care of Old Man Xu all the way. Old Man Xu's clothes were still dripping with water. Xu Yuan quickly helped him to the fire and sat with Old Lady Xu.
Xu Ning took out a bunch of cold medicines such as Xiao Chaihu and asked everyone to take them first.
Old Mrs. Xu couldn't sit still, so she took out a small clay pot from her bag and started to cook ginger soup.
Xu Feng was naked and quite shy at first, covering her little bird tightly with her hands. After taking the medicine and warming herself by the fire, she could no longer hold on and gradually fell asleep beside Zhang.
Chuyi licked his fur clean obediently and nestled at Xu Feng's feet without saying a word.
Zhang covered her youngest son with a thin shirt that had just been dried. When she looked up, she saw her husband and eldest son coming back with some wood.
Xu Da and Xu An were not surprised to see a fire already lit in the cave. Feng Lun, who came in behind dragging some wood, took a look and said nothing although he was puzzled.
"Boss, Dabao, Brother Feng, come and drink the ginger soup!" Old Mrs. Xu cooked the ginger soup and poured out three bowls. Xu Da and the others took it, blew on it, and drank it all in one gulp. In a moment, they felt their almost cold bodies gradually warming up.
The clothes of Xu Ning and his companions were almost dry. Xu Ning gave up his position to his father and elder brother, and together with Xu Yuan, he chopped the wood that Xu Da and his companions had dragged back into pieces.
