Capítulo 14: Cave
Editor: Henyee Translations
After learning that there was a hole under the huge rock and it was still warm inside, Village Chief Hu asked a few young people to dig a little more. The huge rock was very big. He was afraid that if he dug too much, it would fall and hit someone, so he simply dug a huge pit on the other side. Dozens of young men pushed it into the pit.
The entrance of a cave appeared in front of everyone.
Village Chief Hu raised his torch. "Go and link up using some grass ropes. Everyone, proceed in a file formation. I'll walk in front!"
Everyone's hearts tightened as they watched Village Chief Hu take the lead and entered the cave.
About ten minutes later, the group finally came out.
Village Chief Hu clearly could not suppress his excitement. "The old ancestors should have avoided the difficulties by going underground. It's spacious enough. Let's have a few capable women and some strong young men go down and clean up the place."
There was indeed a very spacious cavern underground. The cavern was not considered well furnished. There were only some stone tables, stone stools, and stone beds. There were about 20 to 30 of them, which was not a lot.
There was once food stored inside, but it was no longer edible. In addition, there were some clay pots and bowls that were barely usable.
Everything else had already become unusable. Still, due to some unknown construction technique, compared to the outside, this cavern was very warm, like a spring day.
There was even some ventilation inside, so it did not feel very stuffy.
At this moment, no one cared about anything else. They immediately brought a group of people in to clean the place up.
Then, they brought the torches in and stuck them on the stone platform. It was much brighter now.
The elderly, women, and other people with weak physiques, were arranged to go in and rest on the stone beds.
Other than the paralyzed Wang Chuangui, no one else had a blanket. Fortunately, it was not cold inside and they could endure it for the time being.
After everyone entered one after another, their expressions became much better when they felt the warmth.
Third Aunt Hu carried her grandson and said to Hu San, "This time, we really owe the Wang Family a huge favor."
Hu San grunted gloomily. Fortunately, he did not stop his wife from helping the Wang Family previously and he himself also rushed over to help dig the snow immediately. Otherwise, he would have lost his conscience.
At this moment, everyone was thinking about Little Ah Yu. If not for her, even if everyone managed to avoid the avalanche, they would never have discovered this hole.
The people who had run out earlier had returned, and someone else wanted to go out.
"I want to go out and see if my house is buried. My father—"
"Me too. The snake meat and food are all locked in the house—"
"Let's wait until dawn. It's too dangerous now. It's dark and snowing heavily. Don't take the risk!" Village Chief Hu said solemnly, "I know you're anxious about your family and food. It's useless to be anxious now. We have to wait until dawn!"
A few impatient people were suppressed by the crowd, and the others could only wait.
There were more than 700 people in the village, and they were all squeezed into the underground cave. It was a little crowded.
The Wang Family had a large population, and there was a paralyzed person who was assigned to a small cubicle with a stone bed.
"I wonder what's going on outside. I hope no one's buried." Madam Feng turned to look at Little Ah Yu. Seeing that she was also looking at her, she could not help but smile. "Speaking of which, it's Ah Yu who saved everyone again."
Little Zhang also said happily, "That's right, that's right! Is our Ah Yu the reincarnation of a little fairy? It's only been a few days, but she's already helped out so much. Speaking of which, the discovery of this cave is also thanks to Ah Yu. Otherwise, after avoiding the avalanche and everyone had nowhere to go, many people would probably freeze to death!"
On such a snowy night, although the bonfire had been burning all along, there would always be an end to the firewood. Without a shelter to hide from the cold, isn't everyone just waiting to freeze to death?
Seeing that the women were about to start a conversation, Old Madam Wang's face immediately turned cold. "Stop talking! If you're really so free, close your dog eyes and sleep! Were your tongues pulled out in your previous life? You won't stop talking in this life!"
Madam Feng replied in a low voice, "Got it, Mother."
Madam Zhang touched her mouth and pretended to shut up.
Old Madam Wang did not take their responses seriously at all. She was worried.
Was there really something wrong with Ah Yu?
Everyone said that if a little fairy descended to the mortal world, she would be captured back in the future. Their Ah Yu wouldn't be captured away, right?
It was said that the little fairy who was captured would be punished.
Old Madam Wang had never thought that Little Ah Yu was sent by Bodhisattva. How could Bodhisattva abuse her child like this?
Look at how thin the child was. She was still so timid. She must have suffered a huge crime.
These unlucky things only knew how to praise endlessly all day. What would happen if the Immortals in the sky heard them!
As Village Chief Hu led people to do a headcount of the various families, he went to look for Doctor Hu's family and left with Doctor Hu's 13-year-old son.
Hu Xiaotong was originally with his family when he was suddenly pulled forward by Village Chief Hu's wrist. He was shocked. "Grandpa Village Chief, what's going on?"
"That unconscious person seems to be on the verge of death. Go and take a look at him," Village Chief Hu said with a frown.
That person's background was unknown, but he could not let him die just like that.
Hu Xiaotong waved his hand. "No, no, Grandpa Village Chief. I haven't finished my apprenticeship yet. My father hasn't taught me anything yet!"
"You're the only one in the entire village who knows some medical knowledge. Your father has gone to Shanyang Village and hasn't returned yet, so you're the only one who can take over. Take a look as a last resort." In any case, if you fail, just forget it.
Hu Xiaotong complained in his heart and braced himself to take a look. He saw that the person's body was wet. It should be because the snow on his body had not been cleaned up previously. Now, it had turned to water and his body was drenched.
It was easy to catch his death from a fever like this.
He touched his forehead. It was indeed very hot.
"Village Chief, this person has a fever. My father's spare medicine box is also at home. We have to return to take it." Doctor Hu's house was far away, and it was unknown if it had been affected by the avalanche.
Village Chief Hu was also anxious. Just as he was about to think of a solution, he heard a little girl's voice. "Village Chief, we need to use snow to treat fever."
Looking down, who else could it be but Little Ah Yu?
Little Ah Yu had been urged by Meatball to come over and see the uncle she had saved. She had just walked over when she heard that someone was having a fever.
In the past, when she was running a temperature, someone would stuff snow under her blanket. She recovered later.
It should be fine, right?
She didn't remember. In any case, snow would definitely work.
Hu Xiaotong slapped his forehead and said in realization, "You can twist a handkerchief and dip it in a little snow. It should have some effect on cooling the forehead and triggering the major acupoints, and so on."
With that, he turned around and went out of the cave to look for snow.
[His brain will be fried if he continues like this. Grab a handful of soil from the spatial pocket and place it in his hand.]
Half of the spatial pocket's ground was soil, and the other half was made of special substances.
Compared to the Myriad Spirit Water, the spatial pocket's soil was even more precious. Moreover, after the soil was taken out, it would quickly lose its effect.
However, at this moment, the effect of using the Myriad Spirit Water was not that good.
Little Ah Yu was unwilling to give him the water, but she was very willing to spare some dirt.
There was soil everywhere. There was nothing to be reluctant about.
After Little Ah Yu quietly stuffed the soil into the person's palm, she skipped to the front and reached out to Wang Wulang, who was waiting there. "Fifth Brother, let's go."
The family was too tired and fell asleep after a few words. Liu Shi, who had been nervous all night, could not take it anymore and fell asleep.
When Little Ah Yu said that she wanted to come out for a walk, Fifth Brother was arranged to accompany her.
He had been paying attention to Little Ah Yu. Seeing her stuffing things into the stranger's hands, he could not help but ask curiously, "Little Sister Ah Yu, why did you stuff dirt into other people's hands?"
[Don't talk about the soil.]
"The elf said that I can't tell you," Little Ah Yu said seriously.
Meatball: "…"
Fifth Brother exclaimed, "Who's the elf?"
Little Ah Yu was already ignoring him. She squatted down and hugged the lamb that had been rubbing against her thigh.
The two of them returned to the Wang Family. Little Ah Yu carried the lamb and sat on the ground covered with a blanket. The older brothers surrounded her.
Although it was not very cold, they tried their best to block the surrounding wind for her.
When a wife who had been busy cleaning saw this, she took off a not-so-thick outer robe and placed it on the ground for her.
When she worked in the cave, her sweat had appeared in a short while, and she could not wear it anymore.
"Children, the ground is cold. Sit on Aunt's clothes."
Another person took off the knee pads that covered her legs. "This isn't very thick, but it should be able to block the wind."
One after another, Little Ah Yu had a small bed made of all kinds of clothes.
Little Ah Yu was afraid of strangers and did not dare to accept them directly. Seeing this one of the brothers stood up to thank them and accepted the items one by one on her behalf.
"Thank you."
"What are you thanking us for? We should be the ones thanking you."
They wanted to express their gratitude in this way and it was more polite to accept it.
Even if it was less than two hours before dawn, this was destined to be an extremely long night for them.
When Little Ah Yu opened her eyes again, she was woken up by a commotion.
"Hurry up and rescue the people!"
"Bring the food over first. Aiya, at this time, don't differentiate between who has more or less!"
"Put the children together and don't let them run around!"
"Hu Xiaotong, don't wander around. Stay here! We'll bring your father back. Don't think that their Shanyang Village can bully us like this!"
