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

Shen Yan took a deep breath and said, "Are you his sister or my sister? Am I the one who causes trouble? Okay, okay, I won't provoke him in the future, okay?"

Only after getting the guarantee did Shen Qianxue feel relieved. Otherwise, she was really afraid that her elder brother would be killed by that Young Master Song's sword one day.

If Shen Qianxue knew that Song Shiwei almost killed Shen Yan today, she would not simply remind Shen Yan now, but would directly bring him in front of Song Shiwei and ask him to apologize to Song Shiwei to avoid being killed.

The group walked for nearly an hour under the scorching sun and finally reached the cave.

Zhang Wu walked in first, and the rest followed, and the group walked into the cave one after another.

The villagers were shocked by the huge and empty cave. It could not only accommodate everyone, but even livestock could be brought in and there was a faint cool breeze in the cave. Everyone who came in felt refreshed and felt the obvious benefits. All the fatigue brought by traveling under the scorching sun was swept away.

Huang Changyuan quickly asked everyone to clean the cave, and then called a few more people to go and see the underground river under the leadership of Zhang Wu.

Song Shiwei still found the innermost corner to set up the tent, then took out the empty bucket from the carriage and waited for Zhang Wu to come back to fetch water.

Huang Changyuan and a few others came back excitedly and told everyone about the underground river. Then, without Huang Changyuan's arrangements, everyone took their home buckets and rushed to the underground river to fill water. Even the officials were left without a single person.

Zhang Wu walked up to Song Shiwei with a smile and picked up the bucket: "Master, I'll go get some water. You take a rest first. When everyone comes back, I'll set up a small tent by the river for you to wash."

"it is good."

After Zhang Wu left, Song Shiwei was the only one left in the cave.

The crowds of people came to the underground river. After seeing the gurgling water, they suppressed their excitement and filled the buckets they brought. Then the men could no longer hold back and jumped into the river like dumplings. The children just scooped up the water and drank it guzzlingly, wishing they could drink as much water as they could.

Fortunately, the men were considerate of the presence of women and did not take off their clothes. They just had a water fight in the water like children.

Huang Changyuan stood on the shore and watched with a smile. After a long while, he raised his voice and said, "Alright, alright, hurry up and come up. When the buckets are full, take them back. After we've cleaned up, everyone can come and wash up properly. The underground river is here and it won't run away."

After the village chief gave the order, the men came out of the river, all wet, carrying buckets of water back with them, ready to take a good bath later.

The group came in a hurry and went back satisfied.

After returning, the women washed the pots and pans carefully, and prepared meals and dry food for the journey. The men continued to fetch water from the underground river, bringing all the pots, bowls, and buckets in the house that could hold water. After the pots, bowls, and buckets were full of water, they took off their clothes and jumped into the river to take a bath. They also stripped the boys at home and washed them.

Huang Changyuan also came with the crowd with his two sons. Compared with the boldness of the others, Huang Changyuan was much more reserved. At least he did not take off all his clothes and jump into the water. Instead, he stood on the shore with a washbasin and wiped his body.

Huang Hai couldn't help it any longer. After pouring out the third basin of water that Huang Changyuan used to wash, he grinned at him and said, "Dad, you're done washing, so I'll go in first. I haven't taken a bath for a long time. Rong Niang even dislikes my smelly body. This time I want to take a good bath."

Huang Changyuan glared at the old man's frivolous words and waved his hand unhappily: "Go away, rub the dirt off your body."

Shen Xian and his son and Xie Hong and his son were at the edge, taking turns rubbing each other's backs.

My goodness, a handful of black mud, it's so embarrassing.

After the men finished bathing and went back, the women also went to the underground river with their changes of clothes and dirty clothes that they had changed in recent days. Shen Qianxue and her daughter walked with Xie An's mother. Wang Yu walked behind with her daughter. Seeing Shen Qianxue and the other two being so affectionate, she curled her lips and muttered softly.

The women from the Shen and Xie families walked at the end. When they arrived at the underground river, they saw a row of naked women bathing in the river. The people who came from big families had never seen such a scene before and stood on the shore feeling uneasy.

Huang Ying was being rubbed on the back by her mother. When she saw them, she understood instantly and waved at Shen Qianxue and the others with a smile: "Qianxue, come down quickly. You still have to wash clothes after taking a shower. Don't be shy."

Shen Qianxue smiled back stiffly, with her hands on her collar not moving.

The other villagers laughed when they saw this.

"I say, you have nothing to be embarrassed about. We are all women, we are all the same. Come down quickly."

Another woman immediately joked: "I'm talking to Mr. Liu, you don't understand this, they are just different in size, do you think they are the same as your raisins?"

Everyone burst into laughter, which made Shen Qianxue and others on the shore blush with embarrassment.

However, amidst such laughter and joy, Shen Qianxue and the others also plucked up their courage, quickly took off their clothes, quickly got into the water, stopped at a distance from the villagers, and carefully wiped off the dirt on their bodies.

The women's eyes fell on the exposed skin of several people without any concealment, and they couldn't help but murmur.

"Oh my goodness, it's so white."

"They were wives of high-ranking officials and rich girls. They were not exposed to the wind or the sun, so they must have fair complexions. They are nothing like us rural women who work hard in the fields. There is no comparison."

The woman's voice was not small, so Shen Qianxue and the others naturally heard it, and their faces immediately turned redder.

After taking a shower, everyone started washing clothes. The river water in front of everyone was yellow, and some were even pitch black, which showed how dirty the clothes were.

After everyone had washed and went back, Song Shiwei got up and headed for the underground river.

Zhang Wu set up the tent on the shore and left the place. He walked forward for a long distance before stopping and blocking the entrance to the underground river with his body to prevent anyone from coming.

Song Shiwei didn't want to take a bath in the underground river, but since everyone else had taken a bath, he would be considered an outlier if he didn't. However, it must be said that the water in the underground river was really cold. The reason why it was so cool inside the cave was probably because of the cool breeze blowing from the underground river.

After quickly washing, Song Shiwei hurriedly took down the tent and went back.

As soon as the two returned to their tent, Huang Ping, Liu Daming and others came over.

"We are going to go out for a while and see if we can hunt some wild animals. Brother Song, Brother Zhang Wu, do you want to join us? Oh, Master Xie and Master Shen are also going to join us. They both have martial arts skills and can definitely hunt down big game if they come across one."

Originally, Song Shiwei wanted to go out with them, but when she heard that Shen Yan was going too, she immediately shook her head and said, "You guys go, I won't go. It's rare to be cool here, and I want to take a nap."

Song Shiwei was not going, but Zhang Wu was somewhat tempted. After thinking about it, he nodded and agreed, and agreed to set off after a cup of tea.

The entrance to the cave was too large and there was an underground river. The old hunter in the village was worried that wild beasts would come in, so he took the men in the village to cut trees and move stones around the cave, preparing to seal two-thirds of the entrance. The remaining one-third would be tied up with wood to make a wooden door. When people went to bed at night, they would put the wooden door directly at the entrance of the cave. This way, there would be a shelter and everyone could sleep more peacefully.
