The road up the mountain was more difficult than expected. After walking for an hour, everyone was too tired to walk, and even some of the horses were breathing heavily.
Next to it is a small stream flowing down from the mountain. The water is very shallow, with only a shallow layer. But the water quality is very good and it tastes very sweet.
Ye Yutong saw that Li Yunze was sweating a lot on his forehead and his face was not looking good.
Thinking that his body had not recovered yet, and he had been busy killing bandits and finding a way up the mountain for the past two days, he took some space well water out.
"Drink this water."
"Thank you Tongtong." He drank half of it and said, "Give these to brother!"
Li Yunze knew that drinking this kind of water was very good for the body and should be rare. My uncle has been running around with me these days, and he is very tired.
Moreover, he did not have a good foundation in the past. Although he is the same age as himself, he is much shorter.
Ye Yutong didn't take the remaining water from him, thinking to himself, I gave it to you to drink, how can I not give it to my eldest brother?
But she didn't stop it, which made the boy think there was a lot of water.
Just walking around like this, in the evening, Li Yunze and Ye Mingxuan found a cave.
They were going to rest here for a night today. There were wild animals on the mountain. Although they had not entered the mountains yet, they did not dare to rest outside.
Yongchang lit a few torches and threw them in. After a while, nothing came out, so Li Yunze took a torch and went in to take a look.
The cave was not very big, and it could barely fit more than 20 of them, plus a few cars.
Four horses are tied outside, and they still take turns keeping watch at night.
After all, it is in the mountains, and several adults are worried about the children keeping vigil at night, fearing that wild beasts will come at night.
Now that there are horses, there is no need for them to pull the cart. Yongchang and Wencai said that they would take turns to watch the night from now on.
Ye Mingxuan disagreed, "Uncle Yongchang, Uncle Wencai, it's too hard for you two. We should take turns guarding, as before, one person from each family."
"Mingxuan is right, there are so many of us, we can't just let you two do everything, we have to take turns."
Mao Dan’s grandma agrees very much, even though their family is full of women and children.
But since I chose to go up the mountain with everyone, I was prepared to endure hardships. How could I always take advantage of others?
Dayuan stood up and said: "I can also keep vigil and promise not to sleep. When I used to go with my uncle and the others, I would stay up until half the night, and I never fell asleep once."
Seeing such a sensible Da Yuan, Ye Yutong thought of Ye Mingxuan and Ye Mingzhe in the book again. She sighed sadly, this damn world is really harmful!
Li Wenxiu pulled him to sit down and said with a smile: "You are still young, there is no need for you to guard me. Besides, you and Qiao'er will be members of our family from now on. There are me and your brothers at home, so how can we take our turn?" Are you keeping watch?"
She thought to herself, since these two children were followed, let's keep them. Isn't it just to dig more wild vegetables? What else could be missing on the mountain?
Besides, the two children are sensible and capable, so how could I bear to ignore them.
After hearing this, Brother Dayuan and Qiaoer looked at her with bright eyes, "Auntie, can my sister and I really become members of your family?"
Li Wenxiu smiled and said, "Really, if you two, brother and sister, have no objection, we will be a family from now on."
Dayuan shook his head hurriedly and said: "No objection, Auntie, as long as you don't dislike our brother and sister, Qiao'er and I will definitely honor you and respect our brother and sister in the future."
Li Wenxiu hugged the two siblings and said, "Good boy."
Ye Mingzhe held Dayuan's hand with a smile and said, "Dayuan, you will be my brother from now on, and Qiao'er will be my sister. I will love you as a brother."
Ye Mingxuan also had a smile in his eyes. He had a very good impression of the Dayuan brothers and sisters, and it would be nice to become a family.
Li Yunze didn't have any objections. Since they were a family, he would teach them martial arts in the future. By then, these people would be his wife's helpers.
Several other families were also happy for them.
Sister-in-law Wenxiu and the children at home are very capable. It is also a blessing for the brother and sister that Dayuan and Qiaoer can live with them.
Li Wenxiu looked at her smiling daughter, and then she remembered that she had forgotten to ask Tongtong's opinion.
Ye Yutong smiled and said: "Dayuan, Qiao'er, I will be your sister from now on. If you have anything to say, tell me and I will protect you."
The brother and sister said happily: "Yes, sister, we will definitely listen to my sister from now on."
Li Yunze stood up and said, "Today is a good day. Let me go out and see if I can catch some prey? Let's have an extra meal tonight."
"I'll go with you." Ye Mingxuan and Ye Yutong said in unison.
"Then let's go."
Ye Mingzhe and Xiaosong Maodan also wanted to follow, and they both looked at Li Yunze and Ye Mingxuan expectantly.
Ye Yutong winked at his second brother, and Ye Mingzhe immediately understood that his sister was going to get something from the immortal. Looks like there's something delicious to eat tonight.
Ye Mingxuan also saw his sister's little actions, and said to Xiaosong, Maodan, and the others: "Don't go, pick up some firewood nearby, and put up a few more torches."
Although a few people were a little disappointed, they didn't say anything and all went to collect firewood obediently.
The three of them were not very lucky. After walking around, they did not see any prey. It was too late and the prey returned to their nests. Or these animals sensed the coming drought and moved into the mountains.
When Li Yunze wasn't paying attention, Ye Yutong took out the two ducks and two chickens he had caught a few nights ago.
This time she didn't let go and just held the chicken and duck in her hands. Anyway, Li Yunze already knew that she had a place to store her things, so there was no need to hide them anymore.
These chickens and ducks were specially chosen by her. They have darker hair and look a bit like wild ones.
Li Yunze looked at the two chickens and two ducks in her hands, and his pupils shrank.
Although he knew that the little lady had a storage bag, he was very shocked when he saw her taking out the living things.
Is that storage bag so magical? Can even live things be placed?
When his sister took out the things, Ye Mingxuan looked at his brother-in-law's expression calmly. Seeing that there was only shock and no greed in his eyes, I was secretly relieved.
He regards his brother-in-law as one of his family members. If this kid dares to have any evil thoughts, he and Mingzhe will find ways to make him give up his thoughts.
If anyone dares to hurt his mother and sister, he will not let that person go as long as he and Mingzhe are alive.
Li Yunze reacted and silently took the two chickens and two ducks from his wife's hands.
Chickens and ducks are very fat, these few weigh almost twenty kilograms.
Li Yunze did not take the chickens and ducks back to the cave. He first went to the stream, peeled off the skins of the chickens and ducks, and buried the skins.
Then he said to Ye Yutong: "Did you release those two roosters in the woods last time?"
Ye Yutong nodded, "I released it."
"Don't bring these things outside in the future. They are too eye-catching. How can there be such fat chickens and ducks in this day and age?" Li Yunze warned her.
