When Dongming Ziyu and the others came back, they smelled the aroma of food and saw the smoke, and couldn't help but smile.

The boy on guard shouted: "Uncle Four and the others are back!"

Wulang rushed out of the cave first, stretched his little neck and took a look, then ran over like crazy, "Dad, Dad, you are back!"

Several children ran after him, calling him father, uncle, and brother. They were all very enthusiastic. They all learned this from Wu Lang, which made them a little uncomfortable.

Dongming Ziyu picked up Wulang, lifted him up high, and held him in his arms, "Old son, do you miss your father?"

Wulang kissed Dongming Ziyu's face and said, "I miss you daddy. Are you hungry? Are you thirsty? Have you met any bad people?"

Dongming Ziyu's heart melted at the sound of the glutinous little milk, "Dad, how are you? Have you had enough, Wulang?"

Wulang said happily: "I'm full!"

Thinking of the glutinous rice balls, his eyes lit up. He pinched Dongming Ziyu's face and said, "Dad, Dad, let me tell you, I picked up a glutinous rice balls!"

Dongming Ziyu was confused: "Tangyuan? Er, where did you pick it up?"

Wulang said: "It's so much fun in the grass under the tree."

Dongming Ziyu thought it was either a fruit or a stone, and praised: "Our Wulang is the most powerful!"

The father and son arrived at the cave muttering to each other.

Wulang struggled to get off Dongming Ziyu, ran to where their family lived, picked up a small basket larger than the sole of his shoe, and ran back, "Dad, Dad, look at it, aren't the dumplings cute?"

Dongming Ziyu was talking to Dong Chunlei and Mr. Dong. When he heard Wulang's high-pitched little milky voice, he lowered his head and looked over, and then he realized that Tangyuan'er turned out to be a little white ferret.

He touched Wulang's head and said with a smile: "Good son, take good care of him."

Wulang nodded, holding a small basket and nestling next to Dongming Ziyu.

Zhong Rui licked his fingers and watched this scene, then suddenly threw himself into Mr. Zhong's arms and cried, "Grandpa, Rui'er misses her daddy, daddy, wants her daddy..."

Mr. Zhong hugged Zhong Rui into his arms and patted his small back with his big hands, tears streaming down his face, "My dear grandson, your parents and grandparents have gone to the sky. They have turned into stars and are watching.

Zhu Ruier, they want you to be happy..."

Rui'er shook her head, tears flying from her eyes, "No, no, they didn't go to the sky. They were killed by the mob in order to protect me! I remember, remember, wuwuwu..."

Mr. Zhong choked up and said, "So, you have to live well, you know? You are the only one left in the big house now."

Zhong Rui nodded vigorously, "Yeah, yeah!"

Dongming Ziyu looked at Mr. Dong and asked with his eyes: Who are they?

Mr. Dong told the story about his grandfather and grandson, sighed and said, "It's so pitiful that we are the old and the young. We are not short of water now and can find food in the mountains, so we left them here."

"

Dongming Ziyu didn't have any objections, as the old man and the young man would not bring any danger. Besides, the old man's two sons were officials in the capital, so they might be able to lend a hand in the future.

Dong Chunlei asked: "Have you found out clearly? What is the situation outside? Can we leave?"

Dongming Ziyu's expression became serious and he said: "There are more victims on the road. Some people fell down on the roadside and became motionless while walking."

When everyone heard this, their faces turned pale and their eyes looked frightened.

Someone said: "Then let's live here and don't go out to find death."

Someone said: "Yes, yes, even though Wu Lang can cure the plague, he still needs medicinal materials, right?"

Dongming Ziyu pinched his eyebrows and said: "There is no village or shop here. Winter is coming. Not only is it cold, but it is also difficult to find food without food.

It takes more than ten days to walk over this mountain, and once you get out of the mountain, you will find King Chen's fiefdom. Why not, instead of taking the official road, we go over the mountain through the mountain. Although it will take a long way around, it is safer than the official road."

Shangguan Ruoli said: "In this case, we will have to leave the mountain for more than a month. At that time, the court's countermeasures against the plague will also come out. If the mountain is also dangerous, the worst we can do is live in the mountain and not go out."

Dong Chunlei also thinks it is feasible, "Yes, it will be close to the town then, so it will be easy to buy food no matter what."

This plan was unanimously approved, mainly because they had already harvested almost all the food nearby, and farmers who grew up on the plains did not dare to go far away.

So, everyone stayed for another night, and packed up and set off early the next morning. All unnecessary items were thrown away, and only the wheels and axles were left on the carts and carts, and they would be ready for use when going out into the mountains.

There are no roads in the mountains, and the roads occasionally traveled by hunters are also desolate. Some of the people were injured, and their speed was as slow as a tortoise. They could barely cover more than two to thirty miles in one day.

In the evening, we found a cave to stay. This cave was much smaller than the previous one and could not accommodate more than 200 people.

The old, weak, women and children live in the cave, while the old and young men set up tents outside the cave with straw mats woven a few days ago.

Ling Yue greeted Zhong Rui, "Come, Rui'er, live with us."

A light flashed in Rong Chuan's eyes, "Yes, you live here, rely on me."

Zhong Rui nodded, he liked Wu Lang.

Dashan's daughter-in-law looked at her mother-in-law, whose face turned pale, and asked anxiously: "Mom, are you okay?"

Mrs. He was seriously injured, but she still insisted on walking for a day. However, her luggage was shared among several descendants.

Mrs. He lay on the straw mat and gasped, "I feel dizzy and my eyes are blurry. Everything I see is black."

Dashan's daughter-in-law looked solemn, stretched out her hand to touch her mother-in-law's forehead, "Hey! I have a fever!"

He turned to Shangguan Ruoli and shouted: "Fourth brother and sister, fourth brother and sister, come and see, my mother has a fever!"

"I'll be there right away." Shangguan Ruoli spread straw mats for several children and let them sit on them to rest, then took his backpack to see Mrs. He.

It was true that she had a fever, so she went back to get the herbs picked in the mountains, filled the medicine pot with spiritual spring water, and asked Mrs. He's two daughters-in-law to boil it for her to drink.

Herbs are auxiliary, and spiritual spring water is the main one.

Shangguan Ruoli and the women were looking for edible wild vegetables and wild fruits near the cave, and took the opportunity to take out a lot of wild vegetables, fruits, chestnuts, and walnuts from the space.

Dongming Ziyu led his people to find a small stream. When fetching water, he took the opportunity to add Lingquan water to everyone's buckets. It was cold in the mountains at night, so don't get cold.

In the evening, everyone still cooked freshly picked food, and had to save the food for when the food was exhausted. Fortunately, there was salt, so it was not too unpalatable.

After a tiring day, everyone ate and fell asleep soon.

A circle of fire was lit outside the camp, making a crackling sound, which made people feel a bit peaceful. The night watchers gathered around the fire and were baked into a drowsy state.

Shuan Zhu was leaning against a tree with his hatchet in his arms, sleeping so hard that his mouth was open and his throat was leaking out.

When he nodded, he suddenly woke up and wiped the saliva from the corner of his lips. While watching, he actually fell asleep and looked around with a guilty conscience.

Suddenly, he let out a muffled scream of terror.

He stabbed the napping Dalang beside him with the handle of the hatchet, "Quick, quick, quick! Quick, what is that floating blue light? Is it a will-o'-the-wisp?"
