Natural disasters in books: I stockpiled goods to escape famine in ancient times

Xie An and Shen Qianxue led everyone forward for a cup of tea, and after passing through a bamboo forest, they saw a small river.

The river is located in the mountain stream, with a width of two meters. It stretches down from the deep mountains, forming a puddle here. On both sides of the puddle is an open space surrounded by woods. Although the open space is not big enough to accommodate everyone, many people bought oilcloth in the city to make tents, so they can set up tents and repair in the forest.

The crowd had no requirements for where to camp; their minds and eyes were filled with that puddle of water, and they just wanted to rush into it and dive into it.

Huang Changyuan was so excited that his hands were shaking. He waved his hands and said proudly: "Everyone, hurry up and go. We have already chosen our locations. We will rest here today and set off tomorrow."

Everyone cheered.

Zhang Wu was infected by everyone's excitement. He turned around and was about to talk to Song Shiwei, but he saw that the other party was looking at the puddle very calmly. He couldn't help but ask, "Master, is there something wrong?"

Song Shiwei shook his head: "No, I was just wondering where the source of this puddle is."

Zhang Wu was stunned at first, then he tightened the reins, his face full of excitement: "Master, are you saying there is an underground river here?"

Song Shiwei was a little surprised at Zhang Wu's sharpness, and nodded with a smile: "I do suspect it is an underground river. If it is an open-air water source, it should have dried up long ago."

"Then what are we waiting for? Why don't we just follow the current and find it?"

Song Shiwei laughed immediately: "If we can find it by following the water flow, then it is not an underground river. But we might as well give it a try, maybe we can find it."

Without saying a word, Zhang Wu led the horse-drawn carriage into the woods and secured it, then trotted over to say something to Huang Changyuan, and finally ran back to Song Shiwei, looking as if he was waiting for her order.

Song Shiwei simply took him deeper into the water, stopping from time to time to observe the water flow. As for the little tail following behind him, he didn't want to pay any attention to it and just pretended not to know.

The two of them walked calmly in the forest, as if they were on flat ground, and their speed was naturally fast. This made it difficult for the three little dogs following behind them. Their clothes were either caught on tree branches or they tripped over gravel, and they walked very stumblingly.

"No, no, if we go on like this we will be abandoned by them sooner or later. Qianxue, can you still hold on?" Shen Yan held on to the tree next to him, turned to look at the person Xie An was holding, his face full of worry.

Shen Qianxue shook her head and smiled: "Brother, let's go, I can hold on."

"I don't know why you had to come with me. You were not willing to stay and rest when I asked you to."

"I'm also curious about Mr. Song. I always hear you guys talking about him. I haven't met him yet, so I'm quite curious about him."

Shen Yan curled his lips: "Two eyes and one mouth, just like us."

Shen Qianxue: :)

Xie An held a long stick in one hand and supported Shen Qianxue's hand with the other. He looked at her with a doting and helpless look: "I didn't want you to come. The mountain road is rugged. What if you sprain your ankle?"

Shen Qianxue raised her head slightly and smiled brightly: "I have you and my brother here, I know you will protect me, but I am not as weak as you think, if you don't believe me, just let go and let me go."

Shen Yan, who was walking in front of the two, turned around and smiled, "Don't be fooled by my sister's appearance. She is not weak at all. She often exercises at home. You are the only one who thinks she needs to be taken care of."

"Okay, I won't help you, but you better be careful." Although he let go of her hand, his eyes were still watching her all the time.

Seeing him like this, Shen Yan shook his head helplessly. Holding a wooden stick in his hand, he cleared the way in front of him while paying attention to the figures of Song Shiwei and Zhang Wu in front of him. He wondered what these two people were doing running so far away, and they were not afraid of encountering wild beasts.

"Master, it seems like someone is following us," Zhang Wu was originally concentrating on clearing the way ahead, when he suddenly heard a noise, like voices. After listening carefully, he really heard it, so he stopped and looked at Song Shiwei.

"They are just three kittens, don't worry about them."

Zhang Wu nodded when he heard this and continued to cut the weeds in front of him.

The two walked in the mountains for half an hour. Song Shiwei stopped and stood there to observe the surrounding environment and the disappearing water. He slowly closed his eyes and listened. After less than a minute, he opened his eyes and looked to the right front with a smile in his eyes: "Found it."

Zhang Wu immediately walked back and stood beside Song Shiwei with a hint of excitement on his face.

"Follow," and after saying that, Song Shiwei walked straight in the determined direction, his speed getting faster and faster.

If Song Shiwei hadn't been concerned about Zhang Wu's speed, he would have teleported away.

After walking for another cup of tea, a dark cave came into view. The entrance of the cave was very wide, with rubble on both sides and waist-high grass in front of the cave.

The two stood in front of the cave. The entrance looked like a huge mouth, as if it was going to swallow people in.

Zhang Wu couldn't help swallowing his saliva: "Master, how about letting me go in and take a look first."

Song Shiwei waved his hand and let him in. He had heard some noise inside when he just came here. Apart from the sound of water, there was no living creature. If he wanted to go, then go ahead. He should be given a chance to show his abilities.

After Zhang Wu nervously went in to investigate, Song Shiwei walked in slowly.

The space inside the cave is even larger. It is a naturally formed space. The cave is overgrown with weeds, and there are long upside-down stones above the head. Further inside, there is a passage that can accommodate two people walking.

"I have checked inside and there is indeed an underground river. The water is quite deep and clean. This cave can accommodate all of us. Master, do you think I should go back and tell the village chief? It is better to rest here than in the open air."

Song Shiwei nodded: "Okay, but it will take a lot of time to get here. I don't know if the village chief and others are willing to do so."

"The village chief will definitely agree. At least this place can shelter us from the wind and rain. When the time comes, we can block the entrance of the cave and we won't have to worry about wild animals attacking us."

"Then go back and talk to them. Let's go."

As soon as the two walked out of the cave, they were met with three pairs of burning gazes.

Song Shiwei held his forehead and said, "You guys really caught up with me."

Shen Yan snorted and laughed twice, quite complacent: "Of course not, you don't even look at who we are, don't even think about getting rid of us."

As he spoke, he looked towards the cave behind Song Shiwei, his face full of confusion: "You walked for so long just to find a cave? Is there a treasure in it?"

Song Shiwei nodded seriously: "Indeed, it is a huge treasure."

Shen Yan's eyes lit up, and he walked around Song Shiwei and went inside, leaving the five people behind with helpless looks on their faces.

Xie An took Shen Qianxue to Song Shiwei, his eyes full of apology: "I'm sorry, Brother Shen sometimes has a bit of a whim, but he is still very steady in front of outsiders."

Song Shi raised his eyebrows slightly: "Oh? It means you don't treat me as an outsider."

As he spoke, Song Shiwei looked at Shen Qianxue, and their eyes met, so he nodded slightly at her.

Shen Qianxue smiled at Song Shi, her tone gentle: "I've heard my elder brother and others talk about you for a long time, and today I finally get to see you. Mr. Song has an extraordinary demeanor, and he is truly a rare talent."

"Miss Shen, you are too kind. When it comes to being magnanimous, your elder brother and the person next to you are the best."

"Mr. Song, you are too modest. My brother has been bothering you a lot these past two days, right? He is just like that. Once he is interested in something or someone, he will keep an eye on them. I am really sorry for causing you trouble. I hope Mr. Song will not be angry with him."
