When asking everyone to continue walking, Shen Yitian suddenly had an idea in her mind.

I wonder if the person who gave her the umbrella has come out of that place...

Although I don’t know who the other person is, at least I have seen a figure and know that it is a living person.

It's not that she is a saint, but in such a natural disaster, people are always inexplicably prone to empathy and don't want any life to be lost here.

The rain showed no sign of stopping. The mountain road was covered with thorns and weeds. There was no wide road to walk on, so umbrellas were naturally useless.

They hadn't walked far when the umbrella that someone had thrown at Shen Yitian's feet was scratched to pieces.

The same was true of the umbrellas of the officers behind them. The torches in their hands had long been soaked by the rain and could not be lit at all.

If it weren't for the flashlight in Shen Yitian's hand, the mountain would have been plunged into darkness by now.

After leading everyone for a long time, Shen Yitian felt that they had almost circled half of the mountain. After asking the system again, it did not prompt Shen Yitian to evacuate as soon as possible.

However, everyone was soaked. If they rested here now, they wouldn't be able to light a fire and everyone would definitely feel cold.

Not to mention the elderly and children, even Shen Yitian felt the wet clothes sticking to her body made her feel cold.

"Or, let's look for a cave. It should be safe here, and there will be no more mud and rocks rolling down." Shen Yitian stood still, breathing heavily and said to Yuan Dutou.

Yuan Dutou looked at the line of prisoners behind him who were obviously unable to walk, thought for a moment, and nodded.

The thing in Shen Yitian's hand was very bright. Even if it was difficult to see at night, one could still see clearly within a few feet.

Yuan Dutou looked at the old, weak, women and children, and looked back and forth among them several times. Finally, he pointed at Yue Niang who was carrying the child and said:

"You, come with us to find a place to stay. The rest of you stay where you are and don't wander around."

Yue Niang was stunned, but the naughty child behind her tightly grabbed her neck and cried, "No, I won't let you go. I'm scared. It's thundering and raining. I'm scared."

He cried and screamed, which was particularly annoying on this rainy night.

Shen Yitian frowned and said nothing, but Yuan Dutou snorted impatiently: "Come here, take that guy off."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yu and the other two immediately stepped forward and pulled the naughty child off Yue Niang's back in two moves, regardless of how he cried.

"Keep an eye on him. No one is allowed to wander around until we come back." After saying this, Yuan Dutou took Shen Yitian and Yue Niang and continued to move forward.

This mountain is quite big, but it is not easy to find a cave because I am not familiar with the situation on the mountain.

Even so, they had to try. Otherwise, if they just stood there in the rain, who knew what would happen.

The three of them naturally walked much faster than a large group. Walking so close to the front, Yue Niang could fully feel how bright the thing in Shen Yitian's hand was.

"What is this? It's so bright and can light up everything nearby." She was a little curious and couldn't help but ask.

"Night Pearl." Shen Yitian answered casually.

Yue Niang opened her mouth and frowned slightly, as if she was surprised by something.

But Shen Yitian was so focused on finding the cave that she didn't notice her surprised expression.

Yuan Dutou did the same. Seeing Yue Niang standing there in a daze, he angrily scolded her, "Hurry up and help find it. I didn't ask you to come here just to watch the fun."

Yue Niang opened her mouth, took a mouthful of rainwater, and then closed it again. She didn't say anything more, but from time to time she looked at the light coming from Shen Yitian's sleeve.

Where did this night pearl come from? It is so bright, it is a little abnormal.

The three of them walked for about an incense stick of time and finally found a cave behind a bush.

This is not because they have good eyesight, but because there is a faint light shining out of the cave.

The few people looked at each other, and Yuan Dutou gripped the knife tightly in his hand and walked into the cave side by side with the other two people.

The cave was very large. When they entered, they did not see anyone or any light source, because the cave actually had a bend, about seven or eight feet away from the entrance.

Shen Yitian took a deep breath, not daring to make a decision on her own, and turned to look at Yuan Dutou.

Yuan Dutou was a little nervous as he held the knife in both hands, but the cave was big enough to accommodate their exile team.

In such a rainy day, trying to find a cave of that size is like looking for a needle in a haystack, and they don’t have the energy to search for it bit by bit.

"Excuse me, who is the brother inside?" Yuan Dutou cleared his throat and asked inside.

Shen Yitian was a little nervous, and her hands holding the flashlight were sweating slightly.

"Just tell me if you have something to say." A clear male voice came from inside, a little lazy, as if he was woken up from a dream by them.

Yuan Dutou was relieved when he heard someone respond. He immediately explained their situation and asked to stay here for one night.

Although this is a cave and not privately owned by anyone, and he is still an official, he knows that the road to exile is not peaceful.

It is true that they are officials, but there are many bandits in these mountains. He doesn't know whether there are bandits stationed in this cave, so he has to ask first.

If you accidentally enter the territory of a bandit gang, they will not give the officers face and may even cause other trouble.

The people inside were silent for a moment when they heard what he said, and only spoke after the three people outside held their breath.

"Since you're in trouble, come in and take a rest. But I like quietness, so you can just rest outside and don't come in." The man's voice was still lazy, but very pleasant.

Upon hearing this, Yuan Dutou agreed immediately: "Okay, okay, thank you very much, brother. I will tell them not to let them in."

After saying that, he asked Shen Yitian and the other person to go back and bring the rest of the people over.

On the way back, because they didn't need to search carefully, they walked very quickly. It took only a little more than an incense stick of time to lead the exile team into the cave.

When they came in before, they just thought the cave was quite big, but this time, they saw a pile of dry firewood lying on one side of the cave.

Yuan Dutou was shocked and asked Shen Yitian in a low voice: "When you came in earlier, was there any firewood here?"

Shen Yitian shook her head: "I didn't see it."

Yuan Dutou looked at Yue Niang again: "Did you see it?"

Yue Niang was even more confused. After she entered the cave, her attention was on the light in Shen Yitian's hand, and she didn't pay attention to the cave at all.

So she shook her head too.

"Could it be the person from before?" Shen Yitian asked in a low voice.

Yuan Dutou had some doubts in his heart, but after thinking about it, he still thanked him loudly.

"Thank you, brother." But this time no one responded to her.

The rain was still falling outside, and Shen Yitian's hands were a little sore from holding the flashlight. After thinking about it, she put the flashlight against her chest.

The flashlight was very small, and since she was wrapped in a rainproof cloth, others couldn't see its shape.

Moreover, everyone's attention was not here, but was attracted by the shouts of the people from the Song family's main branch.
