Spirit of the Mountain

Chapter 158 Before departure, everyone discussed for a long time about the accompanying personnel in the outgoing team, except A Le and Liu Lili, but no decision was made. It's not that no one wants to go out, it's that there are too many people who want to go out with them, and everyone has no choice. Among the others, Caiyi must stay behind. Jin Jin, who has greatly increased his strength, cannot escape to a large extent. The cave, their old home, must be guarded and no mistakes can be made. Therefore, the combination of colorful clothes and gold among others must not be touched. Even Jin Zi knew that he probably couldn't go out. He refused to quietly be an outsider in everyone's discussion. Instead, he jumped up and down like a strong candidate, turning the already lively discussion into chaos. The tossing was in full swing. After Caiyi and Jin were eliminated as candidates for going out, everyone's enthusiasm for going out to have a look and contribute something was not extinguished. After the number of candidates was reduced, everyone's enthusiasm became even higher. During the quarrel, Liu Lili saw that they still needed to discuss for a long time before making a decision, so she took A Le and went to the innermost part of the cave. There was a delicious liquid that the two of them had hidden to avoid being destroyed by the wild animals taken into the cave to take care of. Liu Lili, who was about to go out again, finally remembered that pool of "sweet water" that tasted good, and planned to check it out before going out, and drink it to satisfy her cravings. Caiyi told Liu Lili earlier that when Liu Lili and the others were not in the cave, he had taken some and used them as medicine to treat everyone's injuries. Caiyi felt a little guilty about this matter. After all, she had committed such bad behavior as asking for nothing. But when she told Liu Lili, she only heard an obviously off-track question: "What do you think when you drink it? I feel it's quite sweet. It would be better if I cut some fruit into it." When she heard this sentence and Caiyi was obviously not thinking in the same channel as the question. Caiyi fell silent and opened his mouth. Under Liu Lili's curious eyes, Caiyi suppressed a sentence: "I just licked a little bit. Things were very urgent at the time and I didn't taste it." "It tastes good." Liu Lili felt a little regretful for such an answer. After telling Caiyi that she would drink it together when she found the right fruit and made a new "fruit syrup", Liu Lili's attention returned to the bowl of "fried peanuts" held in her arms. "It's up there. It is a fruit that is very similar to peanuts, but larger than peanuts and more fragrant after being fried. Leaving the crowd arguing about the number of places to go out, Liu Lili lay on A Le and came to the front of the blocked stone room. On the way, they passed by a group of wild animals that were well cared for. Among them, the little mountain deer that A Le was most concerned about also fell into a deep sleep like A Le a few days ago. A Le got closer to check the condition of the little mountain deer, and saw that the deer seemed to be evolving, so he didn't bother him much. He raised his paw to pass through a burst of spiritual power, and then left with Liu Lili, who was pretending to be dead and too lazy to move, on his back. Shaking off the soft tread on Liu Lili's back, and moving away the boulder blocking the door of the stone chamber, A Le finally returned to that familiar place. The stone chamber covered with stalactites on the top of the cave is still the same as before. The pool of slurry under the thickest, longest, and pointed stalactite has not diminished. Instead, it has risen slightly compared to the last time they drank. Because the slurry in the pool has no longer exceeded the mark Liu Lili made last time. This phenomenon proves that this pool of slurry can recover quickly to a certain extent. If you drink it slowly, you should be able to drink it for a long time, and it can also be used as daily consumables or healing supplies. When A Le and Liu Lili drank their fill of the delicious "sugar water", the two dogs swayed and licked their tongues, returning to the discussion place at the entrance of the cave with a lazy sense of satisfaction. The name "white sugar water" was given by Liu Lili because she thought it was the white color of sugar water. This time the two dogs drank more than last time, but the effect was not as obvious as last time. There was only a sweet taste, a feeling of fullness, and a feeling of warmth, laziness, and numbness all over the body after drinking. The idea of ​​relaxing and wanting to lie down and get some sleep. After the two dogs looked sleepy and slowly moved to the crowd at the entrance of the cave, everyone's discussion had come to a conclusion. Liu Lili didn't really care who she brought with her. As long as she didn't cause trouble and obeyed the orders, she could take anyone with her. But Liu Lili meant that she could only bring one person, not more. If it's just one person, when Ah Le gets bigger, she and the person she brings can ride on Ah Le's back. When they encounter someone blocking their way, they will hit them if they like it. If they don't like it, they will just run away. There are not many things that can stop them. As for A Le, she hasn't thought about this issue. She was quite concerned about the fact that she and Liu Lili went out to look for salt and collect supplies, because A Le was still thinking about the pile of evacuated troops that they passed by when they came back last time and temporarily stored supplies on the roadside. There are not only various utensils for outdoor living, such as pots and pans, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, camping equipment, but also communication equipment that can be used to contact the rear. The most important thing is that there is salt that can be eaten directly, and wine. Needless to say, salt was already in short supply, and Ah Le was not willing to eat tasteless things every day when he could find salt. Liu Lili's idea was to go out and bring back all the things she found last time. They all knew that there was a lot of salt in the pile of supplies. Even the three big bags of salt that were used up for curing the meat in the cave came from A Le and the others when they passed by. I picked it up on the way back. And then there's the wine. Before setting off this time, the mission team had kept some of the wine they had brought with them and put it in the pile of supplies because of A Le's request. Last time I passed by Ale and the others, they moved two boxes, and there was still a lot left. On the way, A Le and Liu Lili drank half the box of gold they took away, leaving the remaining one and a half boxes that they planned to keep and drink slowly. But when Ah Le woke up, he found that all the wine had been drunk, leaving nothing for himself. Thinking of the sweet taste, tipsy and warm feeling after pouring the wine into his mouth, flowing down his throat, and into his stomach, Ah Le couldn't help but drool a little. But all these good things were drank up, leaving nothing for himself. For this reason, A Le was sulky for a while. She didn't know who to blame. She drank all the drinks she liked. She had worked so hard to carry them back. The most annoying thing was that she didn't leave any for herself. But it was not appropriate to blame others. Whether it was Liu Lili or anyone else, A Le felt that it was not easy to blame her or the others. There was no choice but in the end Ah Le could only have a little quarrel and get sulky by himself. However, Ah Le's depression didn't last long at all, and he was soon made up for by a very sumptuous meal specially prepared by everyone who was a little apologetic.
