The temperature in Xifeng Mountain in the evening is colder than during the day, and the wind is also strong.

The whistling sound of the wind, carrying with it a bone-chilling chill, was so cold that one's lips turned purple and numb when one spoke.

In addition, people's body movements will appear clumsy and slow compared to daytime.

However, at this time, the victims who were fighting to seize the cave did not experience this phenomenon.

They seemed like a group of indestructible cockroaches, quarreling and fighting each other without any recognition!

Amid the noise of Lu Qingqing and the others, who were getting more and more courageous and fighting more, they moved all the supplies outside into the cave and cleaned up the bodies outside.

The family returned to the cave again, roasted the warm fire that warmed their hearts, looked at the neatly stacked supplies, and felt as if they had survived a disaster.

But at this moment, my heart was still tense and had not completely relaxed.

"Let's have a good meal tonight to calm down!" Yang Liuqing covered her pounding heart and forced down the fear in her heart.

I took a salted pig's trotter, three slabs of pork ribs, three pounds of pork belly, two arm-thick wild yams, a handful of wild vegetables, two dried bamboo shoots, and two wild pigeons and started cooking dinner.

There are a lot of dishes for dinner tonight, and except for Lu Yaoyao, the whole family is involved in making dinner.

Lu Yaoyao loved to listen to gossip. After her second aunt bandaged her neck, she squatted at the entrance of the cave and watched the group of disaster victims fighting over the cave.

Seeing that she couldn't persuade her, Second Aunt gave her a hot water bottle to warm her hands and let her go.

Only Lu Qingqing knew that Lu Yaoyao was not just reading gossip, but was also monitoring the victims' every move and then reporting to her.

Although all the bandits were killed, if any of them escaped and came back to take revenge, stabbing any of them would be a catastrophic disaster, which they could not afford.

At this time, with Lu Yaoyao watching, there is no need to worry about a few more fish slipping through the net!

Lu Qingqing glanced at Lu Yaoyao. The little girl was smart. She was squatting in a relatively hidden place, and it was difficult to see her from outside. Lu Qingqing felt relieved and began to prepare dinner.

Wash rice, chop bones, cut vegetables, light fire, cook soup, stir-fry...

Following the entire cooking process, as time goes by, the food is prepared little by little.

Just as the steaming food was brought to the table, the noise outside began to stop.

The sudden silence makes people feel uncomfortable.

Lu Qingqing slowly approached the cave entrance and looked outside, her eyes fixed on the victims who had just been fighting.

They probably stopped because they were tired. Lu Qingqing stared at them for a while and didn't find anything unusual, so she felt relieved.

However, she was still worried if she was the only one watching, so her second uncle and the others came over and stared outside for a while.

Indeed, he found nothing unusual, so he felt relieved and put the weapon in his hand back to the position where he could easily pick it up.

After the bandits attacked in the mountains, the whole family became more vigilant.

Well, it's pretty good.

Yang Liuqing scooped a bowl of pig's trotter soup for each person and left it to cool. Then he brought the last dish, braised pork belly with bamboo shoots, on a plate and quickly filled the table.

Pig's trotter stew, braised spare ribs, pork belly stewed with wild vegetables, stir-fried lean meat with bamboo shoots, wild potatoes stir-fried with lard, and salt-baked wild pigeon.

Five dishes and one soup, delicious and tasty!

The aroma of soup, meat and vegetables come together.

You don’t need to taste it, it tastes delicious just by looking at it.

Lu Yaoyao still loved eating meat as always. The pig’s trotters were stewed until they were soft and boneless. She took a bite of the meat and drank a sip of the soup, and instantly felt the most delicious food in the world dancing on the tip of her tongue.

The whole family had experienced a life-and-death battle. Between the fear and the fear of the unknown, their body energy had long been exhausted and they were starving.

At this time, as soon as the food was served, I drank a bowl of hot soup as a base, then quickly filled a bowl of thick white rice and started to eat it in no time!

Five pairs of chopsticks went back and forth on the dining table. In just a moment's rest, the full table of dishes was eaten up, and the plates and bowls were empty, but their stomachs were no longer empty.

After eating and resting for a while, they collected the spoils they had scavenged from the bandits.

Second Aunt was quick and deft in sorting out the food, clothes and daily necessities. She then picked up a few insoles and new cotton clothes and started to sew them.

After the Chinese New Year, they will set off for Quanzhou. Second Aunt is doing all this to prepare for the journey.

She was very quick and in a short while, she had finished a pair of cotton shoes and a cotton coat.

Second Aunt was busy and having fun in the cave.

Outside the cave, my second uncle, my cousin and Lu Yaoyao were also very busy!

However, they were mainly busy looking at the new member of the family, a tall black horse, and busy grinning.

In the Yan Dynasty, there were two kinds of horses: walking horses and war horses.

Walking horses are used by dignitaries and wealthy people for traveling, while war horses are used by soldiers on the battlefield.

The two types of horses have different uses, and the purchasing methods and prices are also different.

The price of a calf pony for transportation ranges from fifty to one hundred taels of silver, while an adult horse costs more than one hundred taels of silver.

War horses are not sold to the public. They are raised and trained by special horse camps from a young age. When they grow up, they are sent to designated places and supplied to soldiers for combat!

My second uncle and cousin had never really been in such close contact with a horse, and now that they suddenly got this horse, they kept circling around it, grinning foolishly and never getting tired of watching it.

Lu Qingqing stood at the entrance of the cave, looked at their silly grins, and laughed too!

However, when she walked closer and took a closer look at the black horse that she had snatched from the bandits, the smile on her face suddenly disappeared!

This is not an ordinary walking horse, but a war horse!

In fact, she had never been in such close contact with a horse. The reason why she could recognize it as a war horse at a glance was not only because of its tall and mighty size, but also because the words "Xunmaying" were engraved on the saddle!

Xunmaying is the largest war horse training camp in the Yan Dynasty. The horses that come out of here are usually sent directly to the most frontier battlefields!

Now, the horses that were supposed to appear on the battlefield in the north appeared in the hands of a group of bandits in Lancheng in the south!

This shows what?

It seems that the border has really fallen completely!

However, regardless of whether the border has fallen or not, the horse is now in their hands and has become a thorny problem!

Because the other state capitals had not yet fallen completely, if the government officials saw them leading a war horse, they would be executed on the spot without the need for a trial by the three courts.
