Before the fire in the cave was even lit, the people from the Song family's main house shouted loudly.

Shen Yitian looked in the direction of the voice and saw that the person screaming in panic was none other than her vicious and naive mother-in-law, Mother Song.

At this time, Song's mother had lost all her image and no longer maintained her gentle personality. She stared at Aunt Song with vicious eyes.

Aunt Song was squatting on the ground, holding Song Xiaer in her arms, with tears streaming down her face. No one knew what she was crying for.

Shen Yitian felt cold all over, so she picked up some dry firewood and found a place closer to the inside to make a fire.

She was not interested in what happened in the Song family's main house. She only knew that she was cold all over and urgently needed to make a fire to keep warm.

She could ignore it, but Yuan Dutou couldn't. Seeing the Song family making such a fuss, he frowned and asked with a frown, "What are you arguing about? What are you doing?"

The people from the main branch of the Song family fell silent in an instant, and there was fear in their eyes when they looked at Yuan Dutou.

Only Song Xia'er was too young to be afraid. She looked at Yuan Dutou with her bright eyes and said, "My grandmother is missing!"

Her voice was trembling with tears, and it was very sad to hear.

Upon hearing this, Aunt Song hugged her even tighter, and without caring about Yuan Dutou's vicious look, she sat on the ground and burst into tears.

Mother Song snorted coldly and said, "Cry, cry, cry, you know how to cry now, what were you doing before? I'm such a grown-up, how could you lose him?"

As soon as she said this, Third Aunt Song hadn't said anything yet, but Second Aunt Song couldn't sit still. She glanced at Mother Song coldly and sneered, "Sister-in-law, don't be so careless. Third sister-in-law wanted to take Xia'er with her, and I helped Mother walk for so long by myself. I just asked you to help, but you dragged Third Sister-in-law along. What's the matter? Now that Mother is missing, you don't take any responsibility at all, and you only blame Third Sister-in-law?"

Aunt Song's words made Mother Song's face turn pale and purple. She seemed to not know what to say, but was very unconvinced.

Taking advantage of the fact that everyone's attention was not here, Shen Yitian took out a lighter from the space, lit the fire and then put it back.

When she turned around to look at the Song family again, Song Yuerong was already standing in front of Song's mother and standing up for her.

"My mother has been helping grandma walk for so long, but she refused to help even for a little while when asked by my third aunt. Of course, she is responsible for grandma getting lost. How can you blame my mother?"

Her unruly and unreasonable behavior was completely different from Song's mother's tearful crying.

Shen Yitian looked into the crowd and sure enough, she didn't see the old lady from the Song family. She understood something.

The old lady's hair was standing on end, which obviously meant she was struck by lightning.

At such an old age, being struck by lightning is not a good thing. Now he is lost. It is likely that he is in great danger.

It seems that the Song family was divided because of this incident in the original novel. The only problem is that the original novel did not describe much about the exile of female family members, and this plot was only mentioned in passing, so she didn't know about it.

If you recall carefully, in the original novel, the old lady of the Song family never appeared again after arriving at the place of exile. Shen Yitian didn't think anything of it when she saw it at the time, but now she thinks that the old lady must have died on the way to exile.

She was replaying the original plot in her mind, while Aunt Song San was hugging Song Xiaer and roaring.

"I still have to take care of the child. Xia'er is so young, how can she walk without me holding her? I'm not saying I don't care about her, but my Xia'er really can't be left alone, and you don't have children to take care of, so can't you be more understanding?"

Xia'er didn't know why they suddenly started arguing. She wasn't crying at first, but when she heard the adults arguing with each other, she was so scared that she burst into tears.

Shen Yitian stuffed a piece of chocolate into her mouth and watched with interest while warming herself by the fire.

But before the show even started, a complaint was heard from inside the cave.

"Were we just taking a break? Why are we making so much noise?"

The voice was still the same clear voice as when they entered the cave, but it was less lazy and more angry.

Yuan Dutou also understood at this time. They had been arguing for a long time, and someone was missing from the team?

It's worth it!

He was ordered to escort the exile team, which was a responsibility.

It was not uncommon for people to die during exile, but when he reported it, he insisted on seeing the person alive or the body of the dead.

Now that Old Mrs. Song is gone without any explanation, how can he report this?

If she was dead, who knew if the old lady had escaped? If she wasn't dead, the place they came from would have been covered by fallen rocks and mud. Where would he go to find her?

"Stop crying. How could a good person be lost?" He lowered his voice and shouted angrily at the Song family.

His eyes were bloodshot, and he wished he could hang these people up and beat them up so that they would remember their lesson.

But now he was on someone else's territory and the other party expressed dissatisfaction, so he could only suppress his anger for the time being.

The people in the Song family are still arguing with each other and no one is willing to submit to anyone else.

The quarrel only stopped when Yuan Dutou walked up to them.

"Light up the fire. We can talk about finding someone after the rain stops." Yuan Dutou said impatiently, his brows furrowed so tightly that they could pinch a fly to death.

At this time, Shen Yitian had taken advantage of the fact that everyone's attention was on the Song family, and had hidden behind them and eaten several pieces of chocolate and secretly drank a bottle of milk.

She had consumed a lot of energy in her hurried journey just now, and now that she had recovered, she felt a lot warmer.

Otherwise, she would probably have frozen to death in June and become a legend in the Kingdom of Dayu.

She had something to eat, but the others didn't. A heavy rain had soaked all their bags, including the dry food inside.

Everyone was cold and hungry, but luckily Shen Yitian had already started a fire. Although they couldn't take off their clothes to dry, having a fire to dry them would always keep them warm.

Just like when they rested outside before, everyone gathered together as families to make a fire. If there were fewer people in a family, two or three families would gather together. In a short while, four or five fires were lit in the cave.

With these fires, Shen Yitian silently turned off the flashlight and threw it back into the space.

If someone looked at her strangely and suspiciously, she would glare back fiercely until the person felt embarrassed and thought that she was suspecting that her treasure was being coveted, then she would look away.

In addition, she was sitting close to Yuan Dutou, so no one dared to come over and ask her any questions.

The sky gradually brightened, but the rain outside showed no sign of stopping. Yuan Dutou stood at the entrance of the cave in his half-drenched clothes, his hair turning almost white with worry. However, in this situation, it was not suitable for them to go down the mountain.

But is there anything to eat if they continue to stay on the mountain? He just flipped through the dry food that had been soaked by the rain and found it completely inedible. How long can they survive on the mountain without food?

There is also a missing person in the team. If we can't find him, we don't know what will happen when the higher-ups hold us accountable.

And all this originated from the words he yelled at Shen Yitian.

If he hadn't yelled at that time, but listened to Shen Yitian's words and looked up at the sky, he wouldn't be in such a dilemma now.
