Traveling through ancient times to escape famine, I have a treasure chest so I don't have to wo

"Ningning, what are you thinking about?" Xu Yuan couldn't help asking when he saw Xu Ning staring at the underground river while fetching water.

"I wonder where this dark river leads to."

"It leads to the sea, where else can it lead to?!" Xu Yuan was surprised. Xu Ning immediately covered his head and laughed, "Aunt Yuan, you are right. I am crazy, haha"

……

Soon, the cave was filled with the sweet smell of fish.

Old Mrs. Xu scooped a bowl for the children and Old Father Xu and put it aside to cool, and then filled a large bowl for Xu Da and Feng Lun, who had contributed the most recently. There was so much fish meat that even Chuyi got a full bowl of meat, which made its tail shake like a propeller.

The fish had a strong flavor and Xu Da had swallowed countless saliva.

So Zhang brought over his big bowl of fish soup, and Xu Da couldn't wait to pick up a piece of fish, blew on it, and put it into his mouth.

"Mom! This black fish is so delicious!" Xu Da exclaimed as he ate, and did not forget to scoop up a spoonful of fish soup, blew on it, and passed it to his wife's mouth.

Old Lady Xu smiled and said, "It's delicious. Eat more. There's plenty of fish."

"Mom, this black fish is so delicious! Just sprinkle some salt and pepper into the fish soup, and the soup is so delicious that it's amazing!" Zhang had never eaten black fish, but after taking a sip of the fish soup handed to her by Xu Da, she couldn't help but sigh.

Feng Lun also agreed for a rare moment: "Yes, it's delicious!" He took another sip of the fish soup and closed his eyes to savor it carefully.

The others drank the fish soup in silence. Xu Feng and Xu Ning ate without even looking up. Black fish had few bones, so the two of them ate almost the entire fish together as if they were competing. They sighed with satisfaction as they ate, as if they had forgotten all their troubles.

Old Lady Xu looked at them wolfing down their food, and her mood became more cheerful. She smiled and said to them, "Eat slowly, don't choke."

Xu Feng and Xu Ning slowed down their eating speed after hearing this, but they still finished a bowl of fish soup quickly. Old Lady Xu served them a second bowl and sat aside to watch them eat.

At this time, Old Lady Xu's eyes fell on the water curtain outside the cave entrance, and she couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion in her heart. She thought, how nice it would be if she could settle down earlier! She didn't ask for great wealth, she just hoped to live a stable life without running around and worrying.

Father Xu noticed that Mrs. Xu was suddenly in a bad mood. He put down the bowl of fish soup he had finished drinking and took Mrs. Xu in his arms: "Don't worry, we will be able to settle down soon."

Old Mrs. Xu sighed and said, "I just wonder when will this kind of life end?"

Father Xu comforted him, "It will be soon. When the rain stops, we can find a place to settle down and live a good life."

Xu Feng and Xu Ning put down their chopsticks. Xu Da and his wife looked at each other, feeling a little uncomfortable. After all the twists and turns along the way, they also hoped to live a stable life as soon as possible.

Feng Lun drank the fish soup silently without any other movement. Xu An looked at his parents and his younger brothers and sisters and knew that his grandmother was feeling sad again.

Xu An was the oldest among the children, so he naturally knew more. In the past, when his grandfather, Old Man Xu, was still in good health, he once mentioned to him that their grandmother, Old Lady Xu, was the daughter of a wealthy family.

He thought that grandma might be missing home.

"Mom, look outside, has the rain become much lighter?" Xu Yuan pointed to the water curtain at the entrance of the cave. When Old Lady Xu heard her say that, she concentrated her attention and observed carefully. She was surprised to find that the water flow was indeed smaller than before.

"It's really gotten smaller!" Old Mrs. Xu couldn't help but exclaimed. Others also gathered around to check, and they all agreed that the rain was indeed much smaller.

This good news made everyone excited, and everyone's mood became lighter. After all, the rain seemed to have finally shown signs of weakening.

For the next four days, the rain in the sky remained in this state - not too heavy, not too light, but it never stopped. Although the rain did not stop completely, for the Xu family trapped here, at least there was hope.

As the rain gradually subsided, Xu Da took Feng Lun out several times in the past few days and almost figured out the surrounding terrain.

After the weather began to improve, Xu Ning took advantage of Xu Da taking Feng Lun out to quietly release the drone and carefully record the nearby terrain.

The large ship docked at the shore became slightly tilted under the impact of the waves, looking like a drunkard lying on the shore.

There was a hole in the hull, and the Xu family knew nothing about repairing a ship, so it seemed they could no longer rely on this big ship for travel.

Some of the cattle and sheep originally on the ship were gone, some because they fell into the sea and drowned, and the rest ran to the shore and were scattered everywhere.

However, only a small number of people went ashore. There were still about fifty cattle and sheep on the boat, but they were all starving and skinny, like deflated balls.

After discussing with his family, Xu Ning decided to bring the cattle and sheep back to the mountain. As for the big ship, Xu Ning planned to store it in the space and repair it later when he had time.

"Grandma, this deserted island is connected to the mainland. After crossing a few mountains, we can continue to go north." Xu Ning said to his grandmother excitedly.

She held the footage captured by the drone in her hand, with hope glittering in her eyes.

It turned out that after Xu Ning's drone flew above the clouds, he not only captured the scene of the deserted island connected to the mainland, but also accidentally discovered a basin behind the canyon. The basin was flat and lush with aquatic plants, as if it was a paradise given to them by nature. Although the heavy rains in the past few days have made the stream running through the middle become turbulent, other places do not seem to have been greatly affected.

The Xu family gathered around and when they saw the images sent back by the drone, they all couldn't help but show their joy. Especially Mrs. Xu, her voice was trembling with excitement: "Daya, ask your father to drive the cattle and sheep over, and we will go over and take a look first!"

The next day, the long-lost sun finally peeked out from the clouds and shone on the earth. However, the mountain was full of muddy loess and sand, making it extremely difficult to walk.

Xu Da originally wanted to wait for the weather to get better before taking his family out for a walk. After all, it had just rained and the mountain roads were slippery and dangerous. But Old Lady Xu wanted to go to the back of the canyon to have a look, and Xu Da had no choice but to agree. So Xu Da and Feng Lun stayed behind to look for cattle and sheep, while the others followed Xu Ning to the canyon.

The canyon entrance was only wide enough for one person to pass through, and was slightly larger than the previous canyon entrance they had avoided. But as they continued to walk inside, they found that the canyon was getting wider and wider, and could accommodate four or five people walking side by side.

Xu Yuan and Xu Ning were the first to enter the canyon, and they also became the first people to witness the entire canyon.

The canyon is located on the mountain, with the entrance at the foot of the mountain. Climbing up along a winding stone staircase, when they enter the canyon, they can overlook the entire basin.

When she was on the drone, Xu Ning did not see the whole picture of this place because of the distance and angle. Now that she came here in person and looked down from a high place, she was surprised to find that there was actually a large lake hidden in the middle of this basin.

The lake water is so clear that you can vaguely see the sand and water plants at the bottom of the lake. The lake surface is as calm as a mirror without a ripple. The sunlight shines on the lake surface, reflecting a silver light, as if the entire lake is inlaid with a layer of silver.

"Wow, it's so beautiful!" Xu Ning couldn't help but exclaim. She had never seen such a beautiful scenery before, and her heart was filled with amazement and awe.
