Zhenfubao waved his hand and the warehouse was full of grain, and the whole family regretted it

Zhao Qiaoniang shouted, "Don't scream! Screaming is taboo in the mountains. If you have something to say, just speak softly. Don't yell like that. It will put everyone in danger."

Several hunter ladies nodded quickly. Zhao Qiaoniang was taking them to fetch water today, but they didn't know if there was water in the mountains.

The group of people continued to walk inside. Zhao Qiaoniang followed Naitang carefully, but Naitang ran away after a while.

They just waited there. The leaves on the nearby trees had all fallen, and many people started picking up firewood.

"It's winter, and there's not enough firewood. I need this basket for one night."

"That's right, but I don't know if we can make it to Bianjing."

"What is Bianjing like?"

Cui Ya smiled and said:

"Mrs. Bai said there were so many snack stalls! They were placed next to each other from the beginning to the end of the street.

It's steaming hot and the aroma is everywhere. There is the golden and crispy fried cake, which makes a "crunch" sound when you bite it, and the dough inside is soft.

There are also strings of red candied haws, the sugar coating shining in the sun, and the hawthorns are big and round, sour and sweet.

The wonton stall has a delicious soup, and the white wontons roll around in the pot like a school of small white fish.

"Are there any places selling wontons? I love wontons the most. I wonder if the wontons in Bianjing are any good?"

Mrs. Bai said she would make wontons for us when we got there. The wontons in Bianjing are truly amazing.

Cui Ya laughed and said:

"Mrs. Bai said that she would treat us to wontons, knife fish wontons, which are so delicious that you can swallow your tongue.

Each wonton is filled with tender knife fish meat. When you take a bite, the delicious taste spreads in your mouth, just like the fish dancing on the tip of your tongue.

The shrimp wontons are also very delicious. You can feel the sweetness of the shrimp meat with every chew.

The pork wontons also have their own charm, they are very fragrant. The pork filling is fat and lean, and the wontons are cooked and the meaty aroma overflows when you bite into them.

There are also wild vegetable wontons. The fresh flavor of the wild vegetables mixed in the wontons makes them refreshing and delicious."

"Pah! If we want to eat something, let's just eat the knife fish wontons. I don't even know what kind of fish that knife fish is."

Cui Ya laughed and said, "They say it's a kind of fish from the river. A bowl of knife fish wontons costs 100 coins!"

"What? 100 Wen? Oh my god! I'd rather eat the wild vegetable wontons! Hahahaha..."

Mulan coughed and said, "Even the wild vegetable wontons cost ten cents!"

"What? Prices in Bianjing are so high?"

Everyone was silent, Zhao Qiaoniang quickly said:

“Although prices in Bianjing City are high, you can earn a lot!

Some cooks in small families could earn seven or eight hundred coins a month.

The cooks in wealthy families earned more, and ordinary embroiderers could earn dozens of coins a day by making some simple embroidery works for shops.

At the end of the month, I could probably earn a few hundred wen to a guan!"

"But...but our cooking skills are not that good, and our embroidery skills are not that good either. What will we do then?"

These people began to worry, and Zhao Qiaoniang comforted them, "We can learn when the time comes! Don't worry about it now. The most important thing right now is to survive."

"Isn't it? By then, we won't be able to farm, right?"

"I do know some embroidery, but I don't know if people would appreciate it."

Zhao Qiaoniang saw Naitang coming back and stood up and said, "Okay, let's keep going!"

Toffee led them up the mountain path.

The stones under your feet are uneven, some as big as a bowl, some as small as a fist. You have to be extremely careful with every step, otherwise you will sprain your ankle if you are not careful.

The thorns on the roadside stretched out with their fangs and claws, scratching their clothes and skin, leaving painful red marks.

Some sections of the road were so steep that they were almost vertical, and they could only use their hands and feet to hold on to protruding rocks or tough grass roots.

The wind howled in the valley, making people stagger, and the soil on the mountain was wet and slippery.

Every time I stepped down, half of my foot sank in, and every time I pulled it out, I exhausted all my strength.

But no one dared to complain or cry out. The mountain road was too difficult to walk on, and they were almost out of water at home.

After walking for half an hour, Naitang finally led them into a cave. As soon as they entered, a group of bats flew out.

There is also a group of bats hanging upside down on the ceiling of the cave. Their bodies are black and their wings are tightly folded on both sides of their bodies, like they are wearing a black cloak.

Occasionally, a few birds would flap their wings slightly, making a slight "fluttering" sound, which seemed a bit eerie in this quiet cave.

"Ah..." A female hunter accidentally screamed, and all the bats inside flew out, scaring everyone.

Everyone lowered their bodies, and the bats flew over their heads, which was very scary.

After all the bats had flown away, they slowly walked into the cave. Zhao Qiaoniang held up a torch and said, "Let's go in and take a look. What if there's water in this cave?"

No one else dared to say anything more. Zhao Qiaoniang led them into the cave, and they continued to walk deeper into the cave.

The surrounding area is full of stalactites of various shapes, some of which are like sharp swords hanging from the top of the cave, and some are like crouching monsters, exuding a mysterious atmosphere in the darkness.

The stench of bats became stronger and stronger, making people feel a little nauseous, but no one dared to speak.

The road under their feet was wet and slippery, and they could only move carefully, holding on to the rock wall or vines.

These vines emerged from the cracks in the cave ceiling and rock walls, entwining with each other like a tangled web.

After walking several meters, Mulan suddenly whispered, "I think I hear the sound of water. Can you listen to it?"

Everyone immediately quieted down, and sure enough, a ticking sound came clearly into their ears.

They began to look around excitedly, and soon found a small pool of water behind a huge rock.

The pond is not big, with a diameter of only about two or three meters. There is not much water in the pond, and the stones and mud at the bottom of the pond can be seen clearly.

The water surface was as calm as a mirror, reflecting the surrounding stalactites and vines, with a slight shimmer.

"There's water, there's water... woooo... We don't have drinking water at home." Several people had red eyes.

"My family hasn't had much water for a few days. We're saved, we're saved." A group of people rushed forward.

Zhao Qiaoniang looked at them and said, "Don't worry. There are many small pools like this. There should be enough. Let's all line up and come one by one..."

There were six or seven small pools of water here, two of which were quite deep. They all took out bamboo tubes and started filling them with water.

Zhao Qiaoniang and the others also took out all the bamboo tubes and water bags and started filling them with water.

After a cup of tea, when everyone's bamboo tubes were full, Zhao Qiaoniang took out several buckets she had carried with her.
