Traveling through 1942 with space

Chapter 23: Overnight in the Wild

"Second Aunt, it's better not to let Shuanniu and Heiwa in! That cave is only slightly bigger than our room, and if more than 20 people live in it at once, they won't be able to stretch their legs.

The most important thing is that I see many elderly people and children are in poor health and are still sick. Hei Niu and Xiao Lan are just getting better now, and I am afraid they will be infected if they sleep together at night." Hou Xiaoge whispered what he meant.

After Hou Xiaoge finished speaking, Second Aunt and Sister-in-law understood immediately, but they did not just believe what Hou Xiaoge said. Instead, they walked aside and asked their husbands.

"Dad, Heiwa said that so many children living with the elderly are prone to infectious diseases, so they are not allowed to sleep in the cave." The aunt walked up to her uncle and whispered.

“Heiwa is right, as the old saying goes, when there is a great disaster there will be a great epidemic.

Along the way today, I also saw many children and elderly people who were sick. Dozens of people were crowded together at night, which really poses a risk of infectious diseases.

In this case, we won’t sleep in the cave, we’ll live outside tonight, and the baby can sleep among the adults.” The uncle was stunned for a moment, then thought for a while and said.

“That’s what I meant, but my second sister-in-law is afraid of wolves at night.

This is out in the wilderness, only about 10 to 20 miles away from the mountain. If there are wolves, tigers or leopards coming down the mountain, it will be too dangerous for the little kid to be outside." The little girl said with difficulty.

"There are hundreds of us! If a tiger or black bear comes alone, it's just food for us. The most we can guard against is a pack of wolves.

But the wolf king is not a fool. It is not winter now. There are enough animals to eat in the forest. The wolves will not rashly go down the mountain. Don't worry!" Zhou Xinmin, the uncle-in-law, patted his wife's arm and comforted her.

"Okay, I'll listen to you. I'll go talk to my second sister-in-law." After the younger sister-in-law said this, she came to her second aunt and Erda who were still discussing the matter.

"Brother, sister-in-law, Xinmin said that we should sleep outside at night! It will be more reassuring for the whole family to live together." The aunt smiled and told them what her uncle meant.

"That's right. Wolves rarely come down the mountain in summer. At that time, we adults will stay outside and keep the children inside." Erda and Second Aunt also nodded in agreement.

In the evening, at Hou Xiaoge's suggestion, everyone contacted several relatives, and finally six or seven carts formed a circle around the hillside wall.

Then hang the extra bedding on the cart, which can not only provide protection but also prevent the evil wind from invading the human body.

Seeing how Hou Xiaoge and his group arranged their vehicles, other refugees followed suit and finally formed a circle of more than 50 meters around the cave.

The sky gradually darkened without anyone noticing, and the people who had been traveling all day leaned together exhaustedly and fell into a deep sleep.

Hou Xiaoge and his group of younger brothers, who were tired after a day's work, were surrounded by the adults and slept against the earthen wall as arranged earlier.

Hou Xiaoge, leaning against the wall, couldn't fall asleep. The sounds of snoring and talking in sleep were everywhere around him.

"Alas! Why is my life so miserable?

No matter whether they are common people or kings and generals, no matter what their situation is, at least they can have enough food and warm clothes.

Why is this the beginning of hell for me? I, Hou Xiaoge, didn’t do anything wrong in my previous life! How come I have to live with rat meat and weeds all day long? It’s really too miserable. "Looking at the full moon in the sky, Hou Xiaoge really wanted to cry.

After a long sigh, hunger pulled Hou Xiaoge back into reality.

Hou Xiaoge ate half a bowl of porridge this morning, and only a palm-sized wild vegetable cake at noon.

After a whole day's journey, Hou Xiaoge felt extremely hungry, but he didn't dare to eat the vegetable dumplings. It was too uncomfortable to endure the hunger.

As for why Hou Xiaoge didn't dare to pick up the vegetable dumplings, it was naturally because people nowadays have very sensitive noses even when they are asleep, and they will wake up as soon as they smell the smell of food.

Hou Xiaoge was so hungry that he couldn't fall asleep, so he could only consume his mental energy to make himself sleepy.

The mental force probed into the ring space, first took a handful of weeds and put them into the breeding area, and then controlled the sickle to cut the weeds.

The three or four pound sickle, with the help of more than twenty pounds of mental strength, cut the weeds indiscriminately.

After swinging it for more than twenty times, Hou Xiaoge felt a little tired, then he withdrew his mental strength and fell into a deep sleep.

"Don't sleep anymore, get up."

Hou Xiaoge was sleeping soundly when he was startled awake by a shout.

Hou Xiaoge, who was a little grumpy when she woke up, opened her eyes and was about to curse, but suddenly she remembered that she was in the Republic of China. The voice that just shouted was her uncle, and if she cursed, she would probably get a beating.

Hou Xiaoge looked up at the sky and found that the sun had not yet risen, probably around five or six o'clock.

Resisting his hunger, Hou Xiaoge stood up by supporting himself on the ground, and then almost sat down again.

After sleeping sitting up for a night, Hou Xiaoge now only felt sore waist, back, leg cramps, and discomfort all over.

Without calling his confused brothers, Hou Xiaoge endured the pain and stood on an open space nearby to start doing the eighth set of radio gymnastics to stretch his muscles.

"Heiwa, what are you doing so early in the morning? You're shaking your arms and legs, and you don't seem to be busy!" Erda was helping his second aunt build a clay stove, and asked with a puzzled look on his face.

"Erda, I'm stretching my muscles. After sleeping sitting up all night, my back and waist ache and my whole body feels uncomfortable. I'm moving around to warm up, so I can get better faster." Hou Xiaoge explained with a smile.

"What a mess. Besides, how can a kid have a strong waist?" Erda muttered and shook his head, no longer paying attention to Hou Xiaoge.

After exercising for five or six minutes, Hou Xiaoge's body aches finally disappeared and he became more energetic.

Just as he was about to go back, Hou Xiaoge felt a sense of falling in his lower dantian, and quickly found a deserted place and started to drain the water.

It’s true, the new pump that is eight or nine years old is really good. You don’t need to support when peeing, and you can pee three or three or four meters away with just one push.

I just finished drinking water and I didn’t expect that I would feel hungry again.

Hou Xiaoge saw that there was no one around, so he quickly took out the vegetable dumplings from the space and started eating them voraciously.

Hou Xiaoge stopped only after he had eaten five or six palm-sized vegetable dumplings.

After eating, Hou Xiaoge drank a few bowls of spiritual spring water, and his stomach finally felt better.

"It feels so good to be full and satisfied!" Hou Xiaoge patted his full stomach.

In order to prevent people from smelling the smell of the vegetable dumplings, Hou Xiaoge used spiritual spring water to rinse the smell in his mouth when he drank water just now.

After feeling it with his hand and finding that there was indeed no smell, Hou Xiaoge then walked back to the camp in a figure-eight step.

At this time, most people have already gotten up. The women are boiling water and preparing today's meals. The lazy men are sitting together chatting, while the diligent ones are packing their luggage neatly.

Hou Xiaoge came up to his brother and pulled him up.

"Little boy, get up and eat." Hou Xiaoge used his ultimate move directly.

This trick really worked. Not only did the younger brother wake up, but the other brothers and sisters next to him also rolled over and got up at an extremely agile speed.

In the morning, everyone had a bowl of wild vegetable porridge with a wild vegetable cake. After eating, everyone packed up quickly and started a new day of escape.
