"Okay! Let's eat quickly! It's raining outside. Let's eat and drink enough, and then go down the mountain in the rain. We will definitely catch them off guard!" Zhou Tao took the net bags they were carrying.
There were steamed buns, steamed buns, and pickled cabbage dumplings inside. Their military canteens had water and they took turns drinking. Mu Qingli brought her own.
Mu Qingli distributed the egg cakes, dried meat, and compressed biscuits in her bag to everyone.
"How can we do that?" Several people tried to refuse, as these were valuable items.
"Why are you being so polite! Are you planning to light mosquito coils and not let me use them? Or are you not going to let me eat the buns you brought?" Mu Qingli asked pretending to be angry.
"Haha! How could that be?" After being scolded by Mu Qingli, everyone was no longer so restrained and silently took note of it in their hearts.
After quickly finishing the food, Mu Qingli asked everyone to put away their belongings and left some food in the cave.
"Let's take a nap, rest, replenish our energy, and set off later!"
"Okay!" After eating and drinking their fill, the few people roasted food around the lit bonfire and found a corner to rest.
Mu Qingli quietly left spiritual marks at the entrance of the cave and five meters away, then listened to the sound of rain and closed her eyes to rest.
I don’t know how long they rested, but everyone woke up one after another.
"Let's go! Be careful when you go down the mountain!" After Mu Qingli gave the instructions, he led everyone down the mountain.
"Here!" After leaving the cave, they felt the coolness brought by the autumn rain. Mu Qingli looked at the sky and pulled out a few neatly folded pieces of plastic cloth from her bag and distributed them to everyone.
She had originally planned to take out the two large ones she had prepared so that everyone could shelter from the rain, but now it seemed that it was not suitable, so she could only quietly change to a single one.
"Mu Zhiqing has prepared everything!" Zhou Tao took it with a smile and distributed it to everyone.
The thin plastic sheet is even thinner than the one used in fertilizer bags. It is like the simple plastic sheet used to cover the ground for growing crops. It has no holes and is easy to use. A large stack of it doesn't weigh much.
Everyone took it, put it on with a smile, and even tied the hem loosely to prevent it from being blown away by the wind. Then they stretched the sides with their hands and walked down the mountain step by step in the rain.
Mu Qingli walked in front with a flashlight. In addition to communicating with the flowers and trees, he also released his mental power. However, in order to save energy, he only released five meters, just covering everyone to prevent anyone from being hit. He could also accurately bypass slippery, steep, and thorny areas, and walked smoothly.
“Ouch!”
“Be careful!”
"Hey! Give me a hand!"
Although the road is relatively easy to walk on, some people will inevitably slip, but it is not a big deal.
After going through untold hardships, the group finally got down the mountain. It was pitch black at the foot of the mountain, with only one or two lights burning, letting them know that there really was a village there, nestled in a valley surrounded by mountains. Wouldn't it be flooded if it rained?
"I'm going to turn off the flashlight! Hold on to each other!" Mu Qingli turned off the flashlight after they all held on to each other.
In an instant, everything in front of me was pitch black. All I could hear was the sound of wind, rain, and a faint orange light in the distance, which made me feel extremely creepy.
Standing at the entrance of the village, the village in front of me looks like a monster with its huge mouth open, ready to devour people. It is extremely quiet.
"Are there any dogs in this village?" Captain Wang asked nervously.
"Of course there are. Which village doesn't have dogs? Even if the family is poor, there are people willing to keep a dog!" Mu Qingli's leisurely voice came from the front.
Mu Qingli's mental power was amplified, covering the entire village. But after just a short while, she felt tired. She squatted by the roadside again, touched the leaves of flowers and plants swaying in the wind and rain, and took the opportunity to drink another sip of the wood spirit liquid.
I thought to myself that I have to be more frugal next time, as the wood spirit liquid doesn’t condense that quickly now.
"Let's go! Be careful! There are only two dogs in the village, and it will be fine as long as we don't disturb them!" Mu Qingli stood up and said.
I waved for them to follow, but then I realized that it was pitch black and they wouldn't be able to see, so I lowered my arm in embarrassment.
Everyone was treading carefully, perhaps even those who were stealing landmines were not as cautious as them. Mu Qingli finally understood that hiding the fact that he was a person with superpowers from them was just an act of self-deception. They knew it very well, but they were still cautious. It was a habit and also a style.
"Shh..." Mu Qingli brought them to the old woman's house.
She first used her mental power to investigate and felt that the old woman had set up a thin mental safety circle for herself. For ordinary people, it might be a disaster, but for Mu Qingli, it was nothing.
"Comrade Zhou, Captain Wang, you two follow me in, and the rest of you wait here! Don't make any noise, the old woman lives here!" Mu Qingli whispered.
When they heard that this was where the old woman lived, everyone's scalps tightened and they couldn't help holding their breath.
"Relax! Do you want to suffocate yourself? Just be careful!" Mu Qingli couldn't help laughing when he saw them like this.
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but relax a little, but also breathed lighter.
Mu Qingli used her mental power to protect Zhou Tao and Captain Wang, walked to the old woman's fenced yard, and gently moved open the fence.
The old woman was very confident in her mental strength. She did not pay attention to the inaudible noise outside. When she entered the yard, they heard people whispering in the thatched hut.
The three of them tiptoed to the window and the door.
"Village Chief, let's give one of these children to Widow Wang at the west end of the village! That way she won't have to make such a fuss all day long!"
"Seventh Auntie! This is not enough! Da Niu's family, Erhu's family, Lengzi's family, Shuanzi's family... many families are waiting!" An old man in the house said helplessly.
