The cave is about 200 square meters in size and about as high as a two-story building. However, the entrance is blocked by vegetation all year round, and the air inside still has an unpleasant musty smell.

Mu Jin asked everyone to go outside the cave and find a lot of mugwort and dry firewood, and light several fires in various places in the cave.

The fire was burning very big and strong. Everyone walked to the entrance of the cave and covered it tightly with vines and branches. This not only drove away the odor and moisture, but also killed the poisonous insects, mosquitoes and ants in the cave.

When the cave was almost smoked out, everyone opened the cave entrance to allow the air to circulate. When everyone entered the cave again, the whole cave was filled with a faint scent of mugwort and was warm.

The villagers brought all the found items into the cave and placed them there. Mu Jin asked people to cut countless grass stalks as thick as fingers, peel off the leaves, and tie them together tightly with peeled bark to make them into rafts.

Ten more areas are divided, each with an area of ​​about 20 square meters, according to the temporary residence space for each family or individual.

After finishing their work, they left the cave.

At this time, the sun had already set behind the mountain, the sky quickly turned dark, and a golden moon rose in the night sky.

The people working beside the stream have already cooked their meals, and everyone has a happy smile on his face.

The smell of food was floating in the air, and Mu Jin, who was not far away from them, could smell the rich aroma of fish soup.

Mrs. Lai soon spotted Mu Jin and the others not far away, and trotted over to greet them happily, "Princess, please come over and have dinner. We are all waiting for you. The fish here are so plump and delicious. We also picked some fresh wild vegetables from the mountains and threw them in to cook. It is very delicious."

Mu Jin walked over with a smile and started sharing the food with everyone.

In the present world, she is a very picky eater, but she doesn't understand why it is because there is no chemically polluted water and soil in this era. All the food is very delicious and does not require a lot of seasonings. Just simple salt is enough to increase Mu Jin's appetite.

After dinner, Mu Jin saw Li Fugui and a few others cut a lot of rattan, split the rattan into thin strips in a cross shape with a knife, and tied them into long ropes. When there were enough thin ropes, they saw everyone starting to weave a grid.

Soon everyone formed a long net together. Similar to a fishing net, Mu Jin just noticed that fish jumped out of the water from time to time in the stream.

It is true that fishing with nets is more efficient, and winter is approaching, so they also need to stock up on enough food.

This place was very close to where she fell into the valley. She had to go back into the mountains to find a way out, and she could also hunt for some food for the winter.

Mu Jin looked at the sky full of stars and wondered curiously, what is this era like?

After spending so many days with Li Fugui and his group, she also learned that this dynasty was called Dongyue Kingdom.

In her memory, this dynasty did not exist in history books, and she did not understand how the development history of this world was. But before going out, the prerequisite is that she must live well.

On the first night in the valley, Mu Jin moved into the cave with everyone else.

The cave was also blocked with wooden sticks to prevent attacks by large wild animals in the middle of the night.

Mu Jin's compartment was at the innermost part of the cave. There was a large flat stone in the compartment, which was padded by Lai Po with thick hay and then covered with a piece of burlap. It was quite comfortable to sleep on at night.

Dry mugwort was burned next to her bed to prevent her from being bitten by mosquitoes at night and to remove odors.

After working all day, Mu Jin did not feel uncomfortable because of the simple environment. He fell asleep quickly as soon as he lay down.

Mu Jin woke up in the early morning and walked out of the cave. He found that it had rained in the middle of the night yesterday, so the sun was very warm today and the sky was clear and cloudless. It was obvious that the weather would be good in the next few days.

After Mu Jin had breakfast, he called two men who were still in good health. One of them was named Wang Dashan and the other was named Li Ergou.

The two of them usually liked to go to the mountains to hunt small animals for a living, so Mu Jin asked them to take bows and arrows and go into the mountains with her.

After settling down in the valley, she did not participate too much in farming and house building. After all, those people who worked there all year round were more professional than her.

Her current task is to stock up on enough meat before she finds a way out of the mountains and before the cold winter comes. It would be even better if she could find a way out of the mountains.

The three of them did not waste much time on the road. They all walked quickly. Although Mu Jin's original physique was average, he was a person with a strong character. He did not stop even when he was extremely tired.

The three of them climbed over two large mountains, and along the way they found many small prey such as hares and foxes, which were leisurely basking in the sun or playing and chasing each other.

There were all kinds of birds flying happily on the trees in the forest, and there were many pheasants nesting under the trees, which made Wang Dashan and Li Ergou very happy.

When they saw rabbits, they caught them; when they saw pheasants, they caught pheasants. When they saw so many wild animals, they stamped their feet and blamed themselves for not bringing a bigger backpack or calling a few more people to come along.

Wang Dashan and Li Ergou had not eaten meat for a long time. They were both eager to kill two prey on the spot to satisfy their appetite for meat.

Li Ergou pushed Wang Dashan, who was usually braver, and glanced at Mu Jin, signaling Wang Dashan to talk to Mu Jin if they could kill two wild animals on the spot to taste. Didn't Wang Dashan have the same idea as Li Ergou?

Wang Dashan walked up to Mu Jin, bowed to her and said, "Princess, you have walked a long way and must be tired. Why don't we take a rest here and have something to eat?"

Mu Jin understood what the two meant, and indeed they had been walking for a long time, so he nodded and said "Okay."

After getting consent, Wang Dashan happily dragged Li Ergou and carried the two pheasants to the creek to deal with them.

I saw two people each taking a chicken and quickly plucked and gutted it. In less than a moment, they had finished cleaning the two pheasants.

One of the chickens was skewered on sticks and roasted over a wood fire;

The other chicken was planned to be put into a clay pot to make soup, as the pheasants in the mountains were tender and plump at that time.

Use boiling water to drain the blood from the slaughtered chicken, then add salt and water and cook again over high heat. In a short while, a fresh and rich aroma that will increase your appetite will waft through the air.

The three of them had a very good meal. They ate the roast chicken and drank the chicken soup. They felt warm and satisfied. They finished both chickens in a short while.

Mu Jin only brought two people here this time to explore the surrounding environment. There are no people living around the mountains, and the ecological environment has not been damaged by humans, which provides good breeding conditions for the survival of wild animals here.

The mountains are full of vitality, and for Mu Jin and the people she brought to the valley, there is food everywhere.

After the three of them had eaten, Mu Jin didn't plan to continue exploring. The prey they had seen in the two mountains they had passed was enough for the 18 of them to survive the winter, so they planned to return to the valley.
