Fields of Gold

Chapter 396: Heartfelt Connections

More than a hundred people from Dongshan Village followed behind a grey wolf and marched silently into the cave. If anyone makes a noisy noise, how tall the big gray wolf is, it will stare into the eyes of the green ghost and stare at you dead until you are quiet. As a result, more than a hundred people, even children of childish age in their arms, marched silently in dark caves.

Soon, a ray of bright light emerged from the top of the cave, and a larger cave appeared in front of you. The cave is huge and, as Little Grass put it, it has more than 300 people. Best of all, the light coming out of the top of the hole, such as a razor-sharp lamp, doesn't feel dim.

The cave is dry and contains many dead branches and stones. When the villagers saw the grass stop, they announced that they would settle in there and, as a family, voluntarily choose a flat spot, lay down their luggage and clean it simply.

Temporarily safe, children held captive by adults are curious about the surrounding caves. A few bigger ones, knowing there was no danger in the cave, started exploring in the cave. The smaller ones, they chase around their families with a smile. The echoes in the cave were huge, and the laughter of the children spread and became unusually noisy.

Princess Jing gently raised her eyebrows, and her head ached a little. She was a quiet lover, more than a hundred mouthful of old women and children, all squeezed into a cave, too noisy for her. However, she also knew the special period and could not ask too much, so she sighed and endured.

Escaping a young child who had just learned to walk and was still unstable, Yu Xiaograss came to Princess Jing and said to her: “Mother, there are still many holes here, I will go with Sister Meixiang to pick a suitable place to live, then we will move in. ”

Princess Jing snorted and smiled. She nodded. “Okay, you and Meixiang should be careful and let Xiaobai and Daigou follow. Get back early! ”

Yu Xiaograss glanced down at the big ashes drinking water and touched her ass gently with her feet. The big grey ass moved aside and looked up at her, as if she was impatient and interrupted her enjoyment of spiritual water.

“Grey, have you had enough? Drink up and take us to a cave where we can live. Better have four or five holes, not too big enough to hold more than a dozen people!” Yu Xiaograss doesn't care if Big Gray understands. The cave is so big, it's connected by a hole, it's like a maze. Let her find it. When?

Meixiang chuckled: “Miss Yu, can you tell him that? Can he understand? ”

“Never underestimate animals, especially spiritual ones! Grey isn't like a regular wolf. It should understand what I mean, right?” Yu Xiaoxue didn't say so much about it.

Big ash squeezed over to grab the water and drank the little black with it. Three bites and two bites finished licking the spirit stone water in the basin. Licking his mouth again, he turned his head toward a small hole in the cave. He saw the grass and plum not following him. He also turned his head and looked at them, seemingly urging them.

Little Grasshopper will follow with Mae Xiang. How tall is one person at the entrance, with a narrow passage that allows two people to pass side by side. It was about 50 meters away, and it was very cheerful. This cave is semi-closed, and the top of the cave is semi-circular, like a lid.

On the side of the “lid" there is a missing outlet, several small trees with crooked necks are hidden in the outlet, one of which is a wild mountain peach tree with tired fruit hanging on it, many already ripe and others to pick it up. Looking outward from this threshold, you can see the view in the valley. At this time, it is dusk and the orange sun shines into the cave, looking warm and bright.

On the cave walls, a neat row of holes is like a door, the grass probe looks inside, this little cave should be artificially drilled, the walls neat, some left stone stone stools. Each little cave is like a seventy or eighty bungalow studio, which is dry and refreshing and can be checked in with any cleaning.

Meixiang visited a “studio" with surprise and said, "Someone should have lived here. I don't know who dug out these caves. We won't take up some of the hermits' quarters, will we? ”

Yu Xiaograss looked at the thick dust on the ground and shook his head: “It was a long time ago if you lived there. The old man planted the tree and the old man was cold, cheap for us. There are eight ‘rooms’ here, enough for us to live in! Sister Meixiang, why don't you tidy up here and I'll ask the Princess. ”

By the time Yu Xiaograss picked up the Princess and her family, Meixiang had almost cleaned up one of the larger caves. At this time, she was wiping the stone bed in the hole with a wet pad with water!

“Sister Meixiang, where did you get the water?” Yu Xiaograss asked with some surprise.

With a smile on her face, Meixiang came out pointing to a stone trough at the threshold, and the spring gushed out on the mountain wall, converging into a beach in the stone trough, and the excess flowed outside along the mountain wall.

“This is really a feng shui treasure site. With this stone trough, we will be able to use a lot of water in the future.” Without this mountain spring, it would be inconvenient to use water either from under a mountain wall a dozen meters high to fetch water in the valley, or go around the cave just now and go out and find water!

Lanxiang quickly cleaned the cave by finding a pot from the servant and working with Meixiang. The stone bed was covered with soft quilts, and a square table was cut out on the wall of the hole, making it a storage space. The Princess's supplies are neatly placed inside. Little grass placed the Evening Pearl in a stone hole at the top, and the whole room was bright as a light bulb.

The remaining caves, one for the rest of the family, one for the Little Grass Auntie, one for the Grandpa and one for the Grandpa, and the remaining four were divided between the stewardess and the maid brought here by Little Grass and the maid from the other courtyard. The servants and guards of the other courtyard can only lay the floor in some corner of the "living room".

It's getting late. In order to escape, we don't have time for lunch. We're starving. There is a lot of food in the other courtyard of Wangfu, and seasonings such as oil and salt sauce and vinegar are very complete. Little herders and her relatives brought enough food to feed them for three or five days, not to mention the chicken rabbits that little black and white hunted back.

Simply tidy up the cave where you live, the stone bed inside is very wide, like a big dirt kang, sleeping for more than a dozen people without feeling crowded. The old man slept inside, followed by Yuhai and the Liu couple, then Little Grass and Xiaolian. In order to save firewood in winter, it is common for large families, young and old, to be crowded in a large kang.

Put your stuff on the stone bed, grass out with the little lotus, outside the hole near the threshold, stone a simple stove, wash the rice, start cooking. She looked on the other side, and the wife and maid in the royal kitchen were busy. Their stove was divided into three dishes, which were cooked in three pans at once. Wang Fu's men and guards add up to 30 or 40 servings, the meal is heavy, everyone is hungry, the cooking is not enough!

Yu Caifeng walked over with a bag of rice and squatted next to the grass to help her burn the fire. Thinking about it, she said, “Otherwise, the two of us will shoot together, which will save us some money! ”

Yu Xiaograss nodded and thought about it. He said: "Auntie, why don't you go to Grandpa and ask him if you want to fire together? The two of us are a family. Don't let Grandpa think we didn't treat them as relatives...”

Yu Caifeng smiled and said: “The grass is still thoughtful. All right, I'll ask the old lady what they're up to. ”

Shortly afterwards, she came back and shook her head at the grass with a smile. "They said," They brought dried grain and won't fire at night. They also said that they had a lot of family members, so shoot them alone. ”

In the middle of the conversation, someone flashed at the cave entrance. At first glance, guard Zheng and his men carried a bundle of dry wood behind them. It turns out that the guards of the Imperial Palace went too far around the road and tied a rope on the stone on the tree of the crossroads. Anyway, it was just a dozen meters. For them with kung fu, pulling on and off the rope would not take much work.

Captain Zheng left three large bundles of dry wood for Little Grass, enough for them to burn three or four meals. Yu Xiaowei threw in the Peach Newspaper Lee and gave them one of the wild chickens he had caught in his home black. Not enough food for so many of them, at least a little bit of turd in the dishes, right?

The remaining rabbit, peeled by grass, stewed with potatoes in a large pot. A bowl for the Princess and Grandpa. During braised rice, it is served with leftover sausages and meat in winter, even if there is no dish. Besides that, the grass cooked another pot of purple vegetable soup.

Yujia and Liu's family, each holding a large bowl, followed by meat rice with potato stewed rabbits. Probably hungry, everyone eats sweetly. Even the youngest Liu Fangping ate half a bowl of rice and a spoon of rabbit meat.

Looking at the little guy eat well, Liu suddenly dropped the bowl chopsticks in his hand and sighed deeply. Yu Caifeng glanced and asked: “What's wrong? ”

“When I saw Square, I remembered our stones. I don't know if he is safe in town, and our Yuhang, Xiao Grass said that Xiaokou also went to the pier, Xiaosha he won't meet Xiaokou..." The more I think about it, the more Liu Shi feels like there's a big rock in her heart.

Yu Caifeng comforted her: “Don't worry, the little stone is in town, far from the coast. Isn't there a government official? It's safer than ours! As for Sandy, don't worry about it. Little Grass's godfather, but after a hundred wars, his men are also powerful, can't protect him? ”

Listening to her say this, Liu Li's heart dropped a few points. But I ate half the meal, and I couldn't eat it anymore. A hundred years old, worried about 99 years old. Parents' hearts carry their sons and daughters all the time.
