Chapter 36 Arriving at the Cave
It was already bright at this time, and everyone started to move forward again after breakfast.
Yan Erhu took the reins from Han Qingyun first, asked him to rest in the car, and he drove the car.
Han Qingyun was not polite either. It was just right that he could write Han Huaixi's literacy enlightenment today.
Lin Shan and Li Dezhi took over driving from Lu Changping and Lu Fugui respectively. These two people were the ones caught by Lu Changping and Lu Fugui at night.
They didn't have any feelings for Lü Fugui, but they felt a sympathy for Lü Changping, a teenager. He was only a little old, but they felt his kung fu skills were comparable to Lü Liang's.
Yan Dahu was sent by Han Qingyun to push the cart where Han Dongchen was lying, while Zhao Xingwu and Han Nanxing went to pick up Han Qingshan's ox cart.
Han Qingyun called Han Qingshan aside and asked him to ask the village chief to pick a few people. From then on, Han Qingshan would be responsible for finding water sources.
Han Qingshan nodded in agreement when he heard this. This younger brother was really thoughtful. He was just worrying about how to tell everyone about the water source in the future.
After today, they will be out of Fengxi Town, and he can no longer casually tell where the water source is like he did yesterday.
From then on, he would ask Mingzhu first, then go ahead to explore the way, and tell everyone after finding the water source, so that he would not be afraid of exposing Mingzhu.
Everyone else also found their own jobs, even Lu Liang went to drive for the village chief.
Han Dachuan and Han Dahe were a little scared at first, but when they saw that Lu Liang's expression relaxed and there was no sign of being forced, they were not so scared anymore.
They walked like this for another day, and around seven o'clock in the evening, Han Hongzhi asked everyone to stop and rest.
After two days of traveling and not getting enough sleep last night, many people couldn't hold on any longer.
After dinner, Han Hongzhi summoned the heads of each household and told them about Han Qingyun’s suggestions on night duty last night.
After what happened last night, everyone felt that this proposal was necessary.
Everyone discussed the details together and finally decided to select eight men between the ages of fifteen and forty-five from the team to stand guard every night, four in the first half of the night and four in the second half.
Excluding Han Dongchen, who had a broken leg and could not stand, there were a total of sixty-three men in the village aged fifteen to forty-five. Adding Yan Dahu and his eight men, there were seventy-one people in total.
Lu Changping was not yet fourteen years old and was not originally on duty, but he volunteered to join.
Seeing that although he was young, he had very good kung fu skills, and the Lu family had no objection, they agreed, and the number of people gathered was seventy-two.
The seventy-two people were divided into nine groups, and the order of night duty was determined by drawing lots.
Han Hongzhi was particularly careful and separated all eight new arrivals including Yan Dahu and assigned them to different groups.
Tonight, Han Qingyun, Zhao Xingwu, Tan Mu, and five other men in the village will be on duty together.
Fortunately, nothing happened that night.
At daybreak, everyone started to get up and pack up.
Zhao Xingwu, who had just finished work, saw a carriage passing by them, which seemed to have been traveling all night.
Zhao Xingwu also knew the horse driver, who was the groom of Chengji Restaurant where they often delivered their game.
The groom was stunned for a moment when he saw Zhao Xingwu. After seeing the people from Fengye Village behind Zhao Xingwu, he seemed frightened. He flicked his whip and sped away.
Startled by the sound of horses neighing, everyone turned around and saw dust flying, and the carriage had disappeared from their sight.
Han Hongzhi came over with a frown: "What's wrong?"
Zhao Xingwu shook his head. "Nothing. I just saw the coachman from Chengji Restaurant. He was driving his carriage like he was traveling overnight."
After hearing this, Han Hongzhi frowned even deeper.
"It seems that they have also received the news."
Then, he sighed again: "I'm afraid that in the next two days, more and more people in the county will get the news. We have to speed up and get to Wanxian Mountain first."
Upon hearing this, everyone quickened their pace to pack up, even the children helped to pack up, and ate breakfast while walking with their dry food.
In addition to Chengji Restaurant in the morning, three other groups of people passed by them during the day.
Every group of people was surprised to see them, as if they had not expected that a group of country people had received the news earlier than them, and then they hurried away.
The people in Fengye Village were speechless. Although there were many of them, they were all good citizens. Why did everyone look at them as if they were robbers?
Although they tried their best to speed up, others were riding in horse-drawn carriages, so their speed was naturally much faster than theirs.
Seeing this, everyone became even more anxious and wished they could grow two more legs to travel faster.
It was not until around six o'clock in the afternoon that everyone finally arrived at Wanxian Mountain.
Lu Yanyan and Han Qingyun both breathed a sigh of relief. They were temporarily safe. There would be a heavy rainstorm the night after tomorrow, so they had to wait until after the rain before leaving.
Han Qingyun found the village chief and Han Qingshan, and suggested that everyone rest where they were, and let Han Qingshan and his water-finding team go ahead to find out where the cave was.
Han Qingshan's water-finding team was established yesterday. In addition to Han Qingshan, the team leader, there was also Han Dahe, whose arm was injured but did not affect his walking, and two other people in the village, Han Daji and Zhou Yong.
At the beginning, the village chief appointed Han Qingshan as the leader of the water-finding team, and the other three were a little unconvinced.
But after two days, the three of them were completely impressed by Han Qingshan's ability.
Han Qingshan not only manages to find water in the shortest time every time, but he can also catch some fish, shrimp, and pick some wild vegetables.
After Han Qingshan received the task of exploring the cave, he went back to tell his family and left.
Half an hour later, the water-searching team came back, and sure enough, Han Qingshan was the first to find the target again.
As Han Qingshan led the way, he vividly described to everyone how big the cave was, how there was clear water flowing beside the cave, and how there were wild fruits and mushrooms...
Everyone was delighted to hear this and walked faster, and soon they reached the cave entrance.
The cave was indeed very large, enough for so many of them to sleep and to put down the things they brought with them.
They were waiting here for Wang Daxin and others and were going to stay in the cave for a few days, which was much better than sleeping in the open air in the past few days.
Some people are also worried that it would be dangerous if they delay here for a few days.
Han Qingyun analyzed to everyone that in the short term, the Jiyang Army would not reach Wanxian Town.
If they stay here for a few more days, they don't have to worry about encountering people from Ji Yang. But if they leave after a few days, they will definitely encounter more fleeing people.
The villagers weren't too worried about the fugitives. They were so numerous that if they did run into one, they would be the ones to be afraid of.
Since that’s the case, and they’ve already made an appointment with Wang Daxin and others, then they’ll just wait here.
The men began to cut down trees to build a shed for the cattle, while the women lit a fire in the cave to reduce the moisture inside.
Led by several teenagers, the children went to pick fruits and dig wild vegetables.
The energetic Lu Changping took Lu Changan and Han Huaijin to the river to catch some fish.
Han Nanxing and Zhao Xingwu caught a wild rabbit and two pheasants in the mountains.
Several teenagers also took a lot of bird eggs from the trees.
The men rushed to the village chief and asked him to have dinner with them in the evening. The village chief happily agreed.
Because they didn't have to get up early to travel tomorrow, the women were eager to show off their cooking skills, so the men built three large clay ovens at the entrance of the cave...
