Su Chengnan bent down, reached out to pick up an irregular stone, and used it to forcefully scratch two marks on the rock wall of the cave.

"Place wood or bamboo on both sides, connect them with cloth in the middle, and place the person on top, so that they can be carried."

"The problem is that there is no fabric." Liuzi frowned.

Su Chengnan turned and pointed to the bamboo forest in front. "Bamboo is very resilient. What if we cut it into long strips and weave it into a net?"

"Then just fix it on the sides."

"Yes, that's exactly it."

“As long as we have the materials, we can do it.”

"Okay! It's getting late today. Let's go cut some bamboo tomorrow morning and work together to make six stretchers. That way, the villagers who were affected by the mountain fire won't have to endure the bumpy ride."

"Okay, thank you for your understanding and concern, Miss."

"We are all on the same path, and we should help each other."

Liuzi showed his beautiful teeth. He thought this young lady was quite pretty. She was not spoiled or pretentious, and her concern for everyone was genuine. She was like a half-living Bodhisattva.

boom--

The thunderstorm, which had just stopped for an hour, came again.

The big tree in front of the cave was swaying left and right in the wind and rain. The burning smell that could be faintly smelled just now was blown away by the heavy rain, leaving only the fragrance of the soil and the crackling sound of rain in the ears.

"Miss, please go back. It's cold outside."

"Well, okay. Since it's not convenient for me to go in, please talk to Mr. Sun and the village chief."

"Okay, don't worry, I'll take care of it."

"Hard."

Su Chengnan hurried back to the cave. It was closed and the heat from the fire made it warm.

"Miss Su is back, come here quickly."

"it is good."

Village chief Yu’s wife’s surname is Jiang, and everyone calls her Grandma Jiang. She reserved the innermost seat for Su Chengnan, saying it was safe and warm.

Goudan's mother was also there. She was still sitting in her wheelchair, staring at the fire in a daze, looking unhappy.

No wonder Goudan wanted to coax her.

Su Chengnan walked in sideways. Grandma Jiang and the others had laid a thick layer of grass for her. Even the ground had been warmed by a fire before. She felt very warm as soon as she sat down.

"Thank you, mother-in-law. You all can sit a little closer. I don't need such a big space. Come, come a little closer."

"It's okay, we're fine this way."

"Yeah, Miss Su, please leave us alone. We are dirty and smell bad."

Granny Jiang and the others were worried that she would dislike them. After all, young ladies are very particular about their appearance, so they should be tactful and not get too close to her.

Su Chengnan realized their true thoughts and quickly stood up and pulled the straw mat under his butt towards him.

"It's fate that we met and squeezed into this cave. I haven't showered in a few days. Don't you want to stay with me for a while?"

"We didn't think so."

"Miss, don't misunderstand us."

Their expressions changed, and their voices became flustered. They were all simple, honest people, without any ulterior motives.

Su Chengnan took Granny Jiang's arm and said, "Please come over here. Sister Song is crowded."

"Eh, eh!"

After a while of tossing and turning, it always calms down.

Just when Su Chengnan was about to close his eyes and rest, and go into the space to get some mugwort to ward off snakes, insects, rats and ants, the kid Goudan came back.

"Mom!" he shouted.

Then, he turned around and wanted to run inside, but when he reached the door, he quickly closed his eyes, turned around and squatted, and asked loudly: "My dear mothers-in-law, aunts, sisters-in-law, I am Goudan, may I come in?"

The child made everyone laugh.

Everyone's clothes had been dried long ago, and everyone was dressed neatly. Granny Jiang stretched her neck and waved, "Come in."

"okay."

Goudan turned over and ran over.

His mother Liang Cuihua frowned and asked him, "What are you doing?"

Goudan produced a bunch of yellow wildflowers from behind him. Although they were not as bright as Su Chengnan's, they looked very nice.

"Mom, I picked some flowers especially for you."

"Where have you been, kid? It's so dangerous out there, why are you picking flowers for no reason?!"

"Mom, look how beautiful this flower is, please accept it."

"I..." Liang Cuihua's face flushed red, and she felt very embarrassed in front of everyone.

Goudan stuffed the flowers directly into her hands and said, "Mom, don't be unhappy. Just smile."

Liang Cuihua looked at the flowers in her hand, her nose felt sore, her eyes turned red, and she forced a not-so-pretty smile.

Goudan pouted and said, "Mom, look at Miss Fairy. She is so happy to receive the flowers, but you and I are not happy at all."

Everyone turned to look at Su Chengnan.

Su Chengnan coughed lightly. This is really it! She just wanted to be a spectator, why is it so difficult?

She blinked and said, "Goudan, your mother is really touched."

Liang Cuihua: "Yes, thank you."

Goudan then revealed a satisfied and excited smile, "Then mother, you should look at it more often. Seeing the flowers happy will make you feel better."

"Okay, go back and rest."

"Okay, then I'm leaving."

"Well, let's go."

"Dear mothers-in-law, aunts, sisters-in-law, I'm leaving~"

Everyone waved to him, and the cave suddenly became lively again.

Liang Cuihua, holding flowers in her hands, still looked lonely. The others didn't understand why. After trying to persuade her for a while, seeing that she still didn't want to talk much, they all quieted down.

Su Chengnan thought about it and guessed that it might be about Goudan’s father. Perhaps he had never told her his true identity, and she just found out about it.

Well, how can I persuade this?

Su Chengnan hesitated for a long time, and finally took out two candies from the sachet and gave one to her.

"Taste it."

"This candy is made by my second sister, and I love it. But she never told me how to make it, until one day, I accidentally discovered that she had to stay at the stove all night to make it, stirring it constantly. Later, I was afraid of her hard work, so I didn't want to eat it anymore. But she said: She didn't tell me because she was afraid that I would feel burdened if I knew. But candy is candy, whether you know it or not, it still tastes good. Especially after knowing how much trouble it takes to make it, it tastes even better because of the painstaking process."

Su Chengnan grew up in an orphanage and has been a workaholic for years. Apart from Lin Hua, she has no family or friends. Therefore, comforting people is something she is least capable of.

She didn't know whether what she said was useful or not.

But Liang Cuihua took the candy. After a long while, she ate it and said to her, "Thank you."

Su Chengnan sat on the hay, hugging her knees, and gave an encouraging smile in return. Sometimes, not knowing anything is actually a form of protection...

At this moment, she inexplicably thought of Lu Chaofeng, wondering if he was doing well in the capital...
