The weak beam of the flashlight seemed so small in the boundless darkness and could only barely illuminate a few meters ahead. Liu Caixia carefully looked around with the light of the flashlight.

In the other hand he was tapping around with a hiking stick.

The cave is roughly rectangular and contains some flying birds, but not many.

The ground under my feet began to become rugged, sometimes soft soil, sometimes hard stones. After some repairs, it would be a good shelter.

As for bat feces or poisonous gases, Liu Caixia has disinfectants and disinfectant water. It should be no problem to clean up these toxins, and it will not affect human health.

Liu Caixia walked through the entire cave. The cave was not deep and there was no other air outlet. Fortunately, the entrance to the cave was very wide. The cave had a somewhat trapezoidal layout, and the entrance was the long side of the trapezoid, which was more suitable for ventilation.

Not long after, when Liu's father and Luo Hong were about to ask about the situation inside, they saw some birds such as bats, owls, and crows flying out, and some small animals such as moles and spiders also ran out of the cave entrance.

The two men quickly hid to the edge of the cave entrance to avoid being accidentally injured by the animals that ran out.

The little animals fluttered around for a while, but nothing came out. Liu Caixia's voice rang out, "Dad, all the animals inside have run away. Come in!"

When the two came in, they saw Liu Caixia beating snakes with a stick. As the saying goes, hit the snake at the most vulnerable part. She beat the snakes with the stick and broke two or three snakes into three or four sections.

In addition to the snake, there were several unknown corpses lying there, looking black under the light of the flashlight.

"Dad, I've seen that there are no other animals around. They are just small animals that can be driven away. There are no signs of large animals living here. And this place is not small. It is indeed a good place!"

"That's good. This place is really good. I guess there are often caravans passing by here or hunters coming to the mountains to hunt. The larger animals have been hunted down or driven away.

However, in this place, you still have to be careful of wolves and wild boars, these two are relatively ferocious groups of animals! These two groups are not easy to eliminate or drive away. "

Liu Caixia: "Dad, I took a look at the situation of this cave. I think it is safer to live here than in a thatched house in such rainy weather. When the time comes, move a few big stones to block the entrance of the cave, and light two more fires at the entrance and inside the cave, so that wolves and some wild animals will not come easily.

The cave is so high that even wild boars can’t get up. The outer rampart is more than one meter high. The area here is also very large, and it is more spacious than the thatched house. In particular, the ground inside is relatively dry, and the stones on the ground are smoother and cleaner than the mud. ”

The more Liu Caixia talked, the better she felt about this place. Father Liu and Luo Hong agreed: "Okay, then you go and inform them. Your uncle Luo and I will clean up here. I see there are a lot of spider webs and bird droppings. Clean up the inside of the hole and level out the places that need to be leveled. Then plan it out and make a partition in the middle so that men and women can live separately. Plan the entrance and we can stay here tonight."

"Lao Liu, use the broom to sweep the top of the cave. I'll go to the entrance and move some stones to build a door to block the wind."

After spending some time together, Luo Hong and Liu's father have become much closer, which can be seen from the way they address each other.

The two couldn't wait to start working.

Father Liu saw him moving a large rock and warned him, "Be careful and don't try to be brave. When Caiyun arrives, you two can lift the large rock together."

"Okay, I'll try. These stones are not a problem for me. I won't try to move something I can't move!"

"Dad, don't worry, I brought some buns and milk, let's eat first!"

Seeing that the two were about to start working, Liu Caixia hurriedly stopped them. They were tired, thirsty and hungry after walking for so long, so they should eat and drink something to replenish their energy before working.

Liu Caixia took out the steamed buns and milk that had been prepared long ago. Although the buns were a little cold at this time and the milk was cold as well, everyone was still satisfied with the meal.

I haven't eaten meat for a long time. Occasionally putting some dried meat in the porridge is considered a meaty treat. It's not good to sneakily eat the strong-smelling food with two old women around. It's better not to challenge people's hearts.

"I can eat something delicious again. I've been hungry and thin lately." Liu Caixia finished eating the buns and drank a box of milk.

After eating and drinking, Liu Caixia left the flashlight behind and left quickly.

"You know what! Caixia's special ability is really great. She runs so fast..." Luo Hong touched his mouth and exclaimed in admiration after finishing his meal.

"Yes, thank God Caiyun and Caixia protected me along the way, otherwise how could I and the old lady survive in the end times. Not to mention that after coming here, it was also thanks to these two sisters that this family was able to survive.

By the way, Lao Luo, have you studied the writing system of this dynasty? Are the ancient characters you learned before very different from the characters here?

I have read some books before and found that I don’t recognize many characters. They are not the kind of traditional Chinese characters that can be distinguished by radicals. "

"I've read the books here before, and I recognize them all. They feel similar to our Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. There are more characters, and they are a bit messy. There are still some differences from the traditional Chinese characters that were later unified, but it's not a big problem. When things settle down, I will teach you all!"

"That's good. These children are still young. They will definitely need to learn to read and write in the future. With your knowledge, you should be able to teach them more than enough! If you really can't teach them, find a way to send them to a private school!"

"We can only make plans after things become stable. I still need to learn more about the policies of this dynasty. If I can take the imperial examination, I still want to try to take it. If I pass it and become a scholar or something, it will be good for us to settle down and have a reputation."

"You've been very thoughtful. We'll talk about this later. For now, we should take it one step at a time and get to work. After you're done, take advantage of the time to pick up more firewood from the surroundings and put it up to dry at the cave entrance. This will block the wind and dry the firewood for easy use."

The two of them started working enthusiastically!
