The daily struggles of divorced women in ancient times

"I mean, we went to the mountains to avoid the disaster. When Xiaowu went to the village, he went to the deep mountains. The back of the cave can go down to the bottom of the valley. It is quite hidden and not easy to be discovered." Xia Mianwan said seriously.

Zhou Chengze realized at this moment that Xia Mianwan was not joking. He thought seriously for a while and asked, "But there are many wild animals in the mountains. Can people like us survive?"

Xia Mianwan smiled and said, "Although most of our group are elderly, weak, women and children, it shouldn't be difficult for us to live in the valley if we have enough equipment. We can go and investigate first."

"Inspection?"

Xia Mianwan nodded: "Let's go and see first. If it's suitable for living, if the situation continues to deteriorate, we will live in the mountains. It's hard to say how long this chaotic world will last. What we are most afraid of is that various clans will split up and the people will suffer."

"Is the situation really that serious?"

"Brother Zhou, in my opinion, it will be so serious." Xia Mianwan sighed. Fengwu Shop has always had good business, but in the past year, business has been much worse. There are fewer and fewer caravans willing to sell her crystals and colored glaze. This is definitely not a normal phenomenon. The most worrying thing is that in the past three months, many caravans have been robbed and many escort agencies have closed down.

"I understand, Sister Xia, our family will go with you, so that you can have a companion and take care of you."

"it is good."

After Xia Mianwan and Zhou Chengze had a talk, they discussed it with Xiaowu and decided to take Xiaoqi, Xiaoba and Xiaowu's new hunting dog to the mountains to take a look.

Chen Susu originally wanted to go together, but was persuaded by Xia Mianwan.

Shops cannot be closed for no reason. At least chaos has not yet occurred in Yanzhou.

……

Early in the morning, Xiaowu drove a donkey cart to pick up Xia Mianwan.

When we left the city, the genius had just been polished.

When entering the mountain, Xia Mianwan carefully sprinkled the prepared snake repellent powder along the way. The snake repellent powder smelled very bad, and even Xiaowu's dog stayed away from Xia Mianwan in disgust.

It took almost three hours to walk from the entrance of the mountain to the cave deep in the mountains.

They entered a small path along the cave and followed it down to the bottom of the valley. It took them another half an hour.

The valley was very deep, but they did not encounter any large wild animals, which made Xia Mianwan feel a lot more relieved.

"Sister Xia, that cave is actually quite hidden. If we do a good job of covering it, outsiders really can't find it. And this mountain was also bought by us at that time. I think this place is still a good place to hide from disasters. We can first look for caves in this valley. If there are suitable caves, we can live in the caves first. If there are no suitable caves, we can build a few wooden houses here."

Xia Mianwan observed for a while and felt that this place was indeed good. They had money, and as long as they prepared enough food, the pressure of survival would be much less.

"Can you set a trap, Xiaowu?" Xia Mianwan suddenly asked.

Xiao Wu nodded and said, "Yes, I know a few simple mechanisms. I learned them from Brother Bai."

"We can set up traps and mechanisms near where we live, so that we only need to stay in one place and it should be much safer. Moreover, we have been practicing some basic skills in the past two years, and our physical fitness is not weak. I think it is feasible." Xia Mianwan said.

"Then let's find a place to live first. After we find a place to live, you can learn how to build a house with a goal. Bring insect repellent powder and wild animal repellent powder. We will prepare little by little. I will find a way to get the money, and you will handle the work. At present, we should be considered three families. You have more than 30 people, and there are only five people in my family and Susu's family. You can take a look at how to plan the construction of the house."

"Don't worry, Sister Xia."

"After we go back, I'll give you three hundred taels of silver. You can decide how to spend it. Tell me if you need anything. I'll leave the house matter to you, and I'll take care of the rest. We'll act separately, okay?" Xia Mianwan asked.

"We don't need that much." Xiao Wu waved his hand quickly.

"It's okay, take it first, I have the money. As long as we can ensure that everyone can live a good life, it's okay to spend some money." Xia Mianwan said.

"it is good!"
