Rebirth, end of the world, time travel, escape famine, make money!

When Liu Caixia saw the three people coming back, she welcomed them in and served each of them a bowl of prepared ginger sugar water.

"Dad, you're finally back? How's everything?"

Father Liu took the bowl and gulped down the drink before saying, "The situation is very bad. We walked for a long time and saw a village at the foot of the mountain. Several households have been submerged, and the river in the distance can't handle so much rain. It poured out on both sides, and it is estimated that many crops and houses will be submerged."

After the three of them finished drinking the ginger sugar water, they sat down and sighed with worry!

Luo Hong: "Yes, if this continues there will definitely be a flood downstream!"

Lin Weizhong: "Yes, there was already a shortage of food due to the drought, and now the middle and lower reaches are suffering from floods, which will further reduce the amount of food. One wave has not yet subsided when another wave comes! I don't think the days ahead will be easy in the short term!"

After hearing this, the people at home couldn’t help but worry!

Father Liu was not as physically fit as Lin Weizhong and Luo Hong. After walking for a whole day, he was really tired and only ate some dry food at noon.

I just drank a bowl of ginger and sugar water and took a break to recover.

"Everyone, don't be so dejected. Since it has happened, we should find a way to deal with it. There are so many people in this dynasty, it is not possible that all of them will not survive. Survival of the fittest, there will always be people who survive. Our goal is to be one of those people who survive."

Father Liu suddenly remembered that on the way back from the mountain, he seemed to see a dark area on the mountain from afar, which was most likely a cave.

Because that dark place was covered with a huge rock, and the embankment in front was also made of huge rocks, which looked to be more than one meter high and was located halfway up the mountain.

Below the embankment is a gently sloping area.

I just don't know how deep the cave is.

Father Liu watched as everyone started to think under his encouragement, so he told them what he had just thought of.

"Weizhong, Lao Luo, do you remember the place I pointed out to you before, that black hole? I always think it is a cave. Let's go and take a look tomorrow.

There really wasn't enough time today, otherwise I would have wanted to go and investigate it in person. It looked not far from that place, but it actually took about half an hour to walk there.

If that cave is suitable, we can go there first and then slowly plan the rest. What do you think?"

Lin Weizhong thought about the place that Liu's father had pointed out to him before. It was indeed not close to where they were standing at that time. It was in the upper right corner of the mountain, with big rocks on both sides. Due to the bad weather, he could not see it clearly.

"Uncle Liu, I didn't see it clearly at the time. If it really is a cave, then it is indeed a good location. But we don't know what is inside the cave. What if there are people or wild animals living in it? It would be too dangerous for us to go there rashly."

Lin Weizhong looked at Luo Hong and saw that Luo Hong could not remember it. It was probably because it was raining heavily and windy at that time, so he probably didn't pay much attention. He continued:

"Uncle Liu, let's go find out the situation tomorrow. We won't look at other places. Let's go directly to the place you mentioned and take some tools with us. If the situation is good, we can clean it up and come back to pick up other people. But I'm worried that the mule cart may not be able to go up!"

"The mule cart is fine. If the mule can't be pulled up, just tie it up somewhere below and build a roof to cover it. Then cut grass for it every day and it will survive. As for the cart bed at the back, don't worry. Caiyun and Lao Luo are strong enough to lift it up, so it shouldn't be a problem. It just takes some effort. If it doesn't work, just leave the cart in this room and come back to get it when we leave. It won't be worth much if someone picks it up.

I also thought that the three of us should go check out the situation first, sort it out, and carry things over in batches. There are quite a lot of things accumulated here in the past few days. If it really doesn't work, we can go twice. We must bring these dried firewood over, and cover them with cloth when we get there, otherwise we will have no dry firewood to burn when we get there."

It seems that Mr. Liu has indeed thought a lot and taken every aspect into consideration.

"Dad, I'll go tomorrow too. I can run fast. I'll go check out the situation first. If there's any danger in the cave, I can run away. I'm also good at cleaning and tidying up."

Father Liu thought about it and agreed, and said to Lin Weizhong: "Then Weizhong, you don't have to go tomorrow. I will take Lao Luo and Caixia there first. If the situation is good, Caixia will come back to take you there. She can go back and forth quickly. Let's make more trips tomorrow and move everyone over! If you have nothing else, pick up more firewood and bring it back."

"Yes, these firewoods are dried every day. Otherwise, the firewood we pick up now will not be able to burn at all. We need to pick up more firewood when we go there, drain it and put it next to the fire to roast."

At this time, other people also talked about the additional points they thought of.

They discussed all the precautions they could think of, and when they really couldn't think of anything else that needed to be added, they simply washed up and rested.

The next day, just after dawn, when the light was a little chilly, Father Liu was already ready to go, his eyes revealing firmness and determination.

Luo Hong and Liu Caixia followed closely behind. The three of them carried simple bags containing the outdoor climbing tools that Xiaolu had prepared for her, including a searchlight, a compass, a trekking pole, a climbing rope, a set of multi-functional knives and a simple first aid kit.

Along the way, the morning mist was lingering, and the mountains were stacked up, which looked particularly quiet and mysterious in the morning light. Occasionally, a few crisp bird calls broke the silence, adding a bit of vitality to this journey.

Father Liu stopped from time to time to observe the surrounding environment to make sure he was heading in the correct direction.

"Dad, don't go to the wrong place. Uncle Luo, you should also look around more and remind each other of places you remember."

"I see. At most we'll just have to take a detour, but we'll definitely find it. We also used a compass yesterday. The general direction won't be wrong, don't worry."

Luo Hong was also paying attention to the marks left on some of the surrounding trees. Yesterday, they had left knife marks on some obvious tree trunks along the way.

The two-hour trek was a great test of both physical strength and willpower.

Finally, after crossing the last col, the familiar black hole came into view again. It was deeper than yesterday, as if it could swallow all light and sound.

Father Liu was looking up from the hillside yesterday and it seemed as if the cave was not far away.

In fact, it took more than an hour to walk there, and by the time they arrived, they were all exhausted.

Fortunately, when I got closer, I found that the black hole was very large, and it was not a particularly deep cave. The entrance was very wide, so the ventilation was very good.

So the three of them approached the edge of the black hole carefully. Liu Caixia took out a flashlight from her bag, lit it up and held it in one hand, while holding a hiking stick in the other hand in case of emergency.

Under the light of the flashlight, Liu Caixia slowly stepped into the entrance of the black hole. Every step seemed particularly heavy and full of ritual.

"Dad, you guys sit here and wait for a while. I'll go in with a flashlight and take a look. It doesn't look very deep inside, so there shouldn't be any dangerous large animals or anything like that."

"Okay, take the hiking stick to protect yourself, be careful, and run away if anything happens, okay?"

"Got it, Dad!"

As we went deeper, the darkness around us seemed to take on substance, and a sense of oppression ensued.

There was an indescribable atmosphere in the air.
