Exile is exile, is half of the capital enough as compensation?

Thinking of Xin'er's name, Leng Youran sighed sincerely, "Xin'er, Xin'er, what a good name! Everything seems to be foreshadowing a fresh start."

Lian Dazhu agreed, "Yes, yes, that's what my wife said when she named Xin'er. She said it signifies a new life, a new life, and a new atmosphere."

As the three of them walked and talked, they arrived at the cave where Lian Dazhu's family once lived.

The cave is very spacious and is located deep in the mountains, so it is very hidden.

But there wasn't even a blade of grass around the cave.

Lian Dazhu scratched his head a little embarrassedly. "Well, my family used to eat these things. This place wasn't like this before. But over the years, we've found all the edible things near the cave to fill our stomachs, so it became like this."

Leng Youran did not look down on them because they ate these grasses.

In her opinion, it is very rare for a person to not abandon his family and feed on his family when he is extremely hungry.

She had seen extremely hungry people eating human flesh in the north. Compared with those people, there was nothing wrong with Lian Dazhu's family eating only wild grass to fill their stomachs. On the contrary, it was a wise move.

Being alive is more important than anything else.

Afraid of embarrassing Lian Dazhu, he changed the subject and said, "I see quite a few people in the city have animal skins on them. Do you still go hunting in the mountains?"

He asked while looking at the cave in front of him.

The cave was not big, and there was a lot of hay on the ground, and there were walls made of mud inside.

There are also some small windows thoughtfully left on the wall.

Although it easily blocks the view, each compartment is clean.

"Yes, every year when wild beasts appear, we would invite each other to go hunting in the mountains. However, we are not very skilled, and many of our brothers have died at the hands of wild beasts. Miss Leng, the people you saw in the city wearing animal skins today are mostly from our former village. Occasionally, they are relatives. They chose to go to the mountains to find a way to make a living for their families."

"I see your family is here. I can see that your family is very united." Leng Youran just took a quick look around the town.

There were at least twenty people from the Dazhu family who survived.

Although there was only one child, Xin'er, there were many female relatives.

"Yes, there are three of us brothers and two older sisters who married out. When we found this place to settle down, we secretly went to their house. When they learned that there was a way out up the mountain, they followed us into the mountains. Over the years, our families have lived together. But unfortunately, my eldest sister's father-in-law didn't survive these hardships and passed away two years ago."

When talking about the death of a relative, Lian Dazhu's expression became noticeably depressed.

Li Tianze then spoke to comfort them, "You are already doing very well. I think your mother and the three elderly people in the crowd are all doing well."

"Well, it wasn't easy for my mom, really. My dad passed away when we were very young. She raised the five of us with great difficulty, but she never had a good day before what happened. Now all we can do is to be filial to her to the best of our ability. Fortunately, you're here, and we don't have to worry about our lives anymore."

Lian Dazhu didn't know what the two of them were looking at on the wall after they came in, so he could only chat with them casually.

While chatting with them, he also took the time to find a piece of cloth that looked better and covered the four urns that were placed on the mud table at the innermost part of the cave.

After Leng Youran came in, he kept looking at the stone walls in their cave.

The reason was simply because the stone walls here were not bare stones. She wondered if Lian Dazhu's family had specially renovated them after they moved in. The soil on the stone walls of the cave looked very familiar to her.

She curiously picked up a piece and rubbed it in her hand, and found that the soil was fine.

Then his eyes revealed an unconcealable joy.

He hurriedly called out to Li Tianze, "Tianze, come and see if this is clay?"

Li Tianze walked over to her and also picked up a piece of soil from the cave wall to try.

"Yeah, it's clay."

"Hahaha, that's great! It's really a piece of cake after searching for so long."

Lian Dazhu stood aside, looking puzzled at the two men's expressions.

"Miss Leng, Master Li, what's wrong with you two? What are you so happy about?"

Leng Youran smiled and said, "Good, very good. You wait here for us first, we will go out for a while." After that, he pulled Li Tianze out of the cave.

The two of them wandered around outside the cave and soon returned to the cave entrance.

"That's great. There's a large area of ​​clay here, so we have a place to make blue bricks." Leng Youran couldn't hide his smile.

Seeing her so happy, Li Tianze thought about the situation here and had to interrupt her, "Well, Ran'er, have you ever thought about it? We have a place, but this is deep in the mountains. How are we going to transport the clay out? Or in other words, even if we bake the blue bricks here, how are we going to transport them out?"

Leng Youran......

She felt like a basin of cold water was falling from above her head, chilling her to the bone.

Li Tianze didn't want to discourage her, but this was the most difficult thing at the moment.

He was anxious when he saw that the things were not usable, but there was nothing he could do.

On the way back, Leng Youran was in a bad mood and didn't say a word.

Looking at the mountains that were getting farther and farther away from her, she felt indescribably sad.

I was just happy that I found clay right after I came out, but now I can't be happy at all.

Such sentiments continued to return to the town.

Leng Yuyang didn't know why his little sister became so listless after going out. He nudged Li Tianze and asked, "What's wrong with you, little sister?"

Li Tianze told him everything that had just happened on the mountain.

Leng Yuyang felt a little uncomfortable after hearing this, but he still comforted her: "Don't worry, little sister, you just saw it here, maybe your second and third brothers have it too!"

Leng Youran was not comforted. Leng Yuyang and Li Tianze did not understand her personality.

As someone who had lived in the end times, she wanted to get anything that was useful.

Now there was such a large piece of clay there, but she couldn't use it. It felt like the thing she had set her eyes on was being taken away by someone.

She wasn't one to accept her fate, but to avoid worrying Leng Yuyang and the others, she forced a smile and said, "Well, it's okay, big brother. Tianze and I will go check on second brother and the others. Let's leave it here for now!"

After saying that, she remembered what she had promised Lian Dazhu before, and repeated her plan to bury their family members.
