Chapter 7: Escape from the Cave
"Now we can go out. Xue'er, how did you find out?" Gu Tingchuan stroked his sister's head ecstatically.
"I noticed it if I was careful. After all, I'm a girl!" Gu Feixue said coquettishly.
Gu Tingchuan believed it, but the boy didn't.
His eyes moved around. Although he was an extremely careful person, he didn't notice the mechanism.
He just noticed that the hole of the mechanism appeared after Gu Feixue scratched something with her fingernails.
She must have some special ability to discover the mechanism, or she can predict the future?
Thinking back to my observations over the past few days, Gu Feixue's behavior was inconsistent with her age-related jealousy.
He was even more certain that Gu Feixue was not an ordinary person and that she must have some special abilities.
"Brother, please hammer this mechanism." Gu Feixue pushed Gu Tingchuan to activate the mechanism.
Gu Tingchuan clenched his fist and punched hard at the gap, but there was no response.
He hit it a few more times, but nothing happened.
"Let me try." The young man walked over and looked at the mechanism intently.
Gu Tingchuan rubbed his sore hands and made way.
The young man punched down, and with a "bang", all the stones at the mechanism shattered, and a stone door slowly rose.
"Brother! We can go out now!" Gu Feixue shook Gu Tingchuan's arm.
She said to the boy: "Thank you!"
The boy nodded and dusted his hands.
At this time, Gu Feixue couldn't wait to go back and tell her father this great news.
The refugees have no cohesion and each looks after his own interests. At this time, it is obvious that a stronger leader is needed to lead everyone out of the predicament.
And as his father, the former Minister of Revenue, was very suitable to be the leader.
Only in this way can we avoid being harmed by refugees while obtaining their unanimous protection.
So she grabbed a few more apples until she was no longer able to hold any food, and then she urged her eldest brother, "Brother, it's time for us to go!"
"Okay." Gu Tingchuan nodded, then looked at the young man.
But the young man took a handful of rice from the bag and wrapped it in his handkerchief.
He looked up and met the puzzled gazes of the brother and sister.
Gu Tingchuan smiled and said, "I have enough food and clothes. These are all yours. Of course, if you can transport them all away."
"Okay, thank you, young man." Gu Feixue didn't ask any more questions and nodded in greeting.
"Brother, see you later. Next time we meet, will you consider whether you want to be my servant?" The young man looked confident.
The young man clasped his fists in farewell, stepped on tiptoe, and disappeared on the spot.
The brother and sister looked at each other, marveling at the young man's extraordinary achievements, and quickly rushed to their camp.
On the way back, Gu Feixue discovered a large forest of edible palm trees.
But ancient people did not know that palm trees were edible, so this secret would become another golden medal after all the food in the cave was eaten.
Her Gu family's becoming the leader was instantly doubly guaranteed!
Her heart was filled with joy and her steps were full of energy.
…
Soon, they returned to their families.
When Wang saw her children coming back, she rushed over and hugged the brother and sister. "Where were you going so early in the morning? Why are you back so late? I was so worried!"
Gu Feixue got out of her mother's arms, her eyes darting around, "Mom! Look what Xue'er brought back?"
When she saw that the sack that Gu Feixue brought back was full of food, she was shocked for a long time.
After looking around and seeing no one paying attention to this place, she quickly took the two children aside.
Then he asked, “Where did you find all these?”
"We found a cave with lots of food in it! But we only took a little bit. My eldest brother and I ran back quickly to inform everyone to go get the food together."
"But, Mom, we have to tell Dad about this first. Let's do this first..."
Gu Feixue told her plan to her mother in her ear, and then asked her mother to tell her father.
After finishing speaking, Gu Feixue added in a low voice: "These are all ideas that Big Brother came up with. They are not bad, right?"
Wang nodded, looked at her son approvingly, then walked towards Gu Lang, woke him up, and told him the plan.
Soon, Gu Lang agreed to the plan.
Later, Wang suggested wrapping up the food and placing it inside the dead tree where the family slept around.
Because she was afraid that these refugees would fight so fiercely for food that the Gu family would not be able to grab much.
After hiding, the family prepared to wake everyone up and then go together to move the food.
Unexpectedly, Hui Niang woke up from hunger at this time, and she seemed to smell some fragrance vaguely.
The next moment, her dog-like sense of smell found food in the tree hole!
"What is this?" Hui Niang was so hungry that she saw stars and grabbed it.
She finally pulled out an apple and shouted excitedly, "Apple! There's an apple in this tree hole!"
This shout woke everyone up immediately, and all the refugees instantly turned into wolves and rushed towards his house.
"Apples! Grab the apples!"
Gu Feixue was afraid that this group of people would trample her family to death, so she quickly pulled her family members away.
But Hui Niang was not so lucky. Before she could take a bite of the apple, a man slapped her hard in the face.
Immediately, the apple in her hand was snatched away. The man was afraid that she would take the apple back, so he pressed on her.
Hui Niang screamed miserably, "Get up! I'm going to be crushed to death! Give me back my apple! Give me back my apple!"
Within ten minutes, someone discovered the remaining food in the tree hole, and they rushed to grab it all, even uprooting the dead tree!
Seeing this scene, Gu Feixue was amazed.
The refugees were grabbing and shouting, "You stinky bastard, you're eating all the food for yourself! I'll beat you to death! You selfish bastard!"
Hui Niang screamed in pain, a large amount of her hair was pulled out, and blood flowed down her cheeks.
"It's not my food, it's the Gu family's, it's the Gu family's!"
Her words instantly pointed the finger at the Gu family, and everyone glared at them viciously.
Gu Feixue frowned. She had to find a way to get rid of this old green tea bitch as soon as possible, otherwise the journey would be too uneasy.
At this time, the refugees were gnashing their teeth in hatred, and their leader was none other than Wang Wu.
He was a big and strong man with a shrewd look on his face, and was the leader of the refugees.
Wang Wu approached the family and demanded, "Who is hiding the food? Come out, or I will kill only him."
"If you don't admit it, all of you will get the hell out of here!"
"If you break the rules, you either die or get out!"
