Chapter 144: Cheesy hands!

No one expected to be so lucky to find such a big cave during the worst of the snowstorm.

Due to the blizzard outside, there was no way to continue on the road, so everyone could only stay in the cave to rest.

 Everyone sat several meters apart, cleaned the ground, and sat down to rest.

 It was very warm in the cave, not like a snowstorm at all.

 Everyone had a rare chance to rest and immediately relaxed.

Although they could occasionally hear the howling of the wind outside, they were no longer worried.

Xu Tian and other officials found some dead branches to light a bonfire, but found that there were not many dead branches in the cave, which meant that wood became a scarce resource.

Fortunately, it is not cold in the cave, otherwise many people would freeze to death on a snowy night without fire.

Therefore, Xu Tian and others could only use limited fire to cook food. When they finished cooking, the fire jumped once and went out.

 After they distributed the food, the light in the cave dimmed a lot. Obviously, it seemed dark outside.

But everyone didn't care and went to bed early after eating. They had been sleeping in the snow these days and couldn't sleep at all.

Even if they followed Chen Xue's advice and dug a snow cave, they would still feel cold, but not here.

Everyone rested early, and Chen Xue and his family also returned to the space to rest. Of course, they had to eat before resting.

 For rice, of course, hot pot.

 Eating hot pot in winter is the most enjoyable.

 After eating and sweating profusely, everyone will no longer feel the cold.

 “We need to save more wood too!”

Mr. Chen picked up a piece of pork belly. Chen Xue collected a pile of wood from home before, but they did not store any more wood after that.

 But these days I have been cooking in space, and seeing that there is no wood to burn for heating in the cave due to heavy snowfall, Master Chen feels that wood needs to be stored, and the more the better.

Chen Xue also nodded. She saw a lot of wood in the space before, but then she thought that it didn't snow in Nanman and there were many trees there, so she stopped storing wood.

 But now she feels that she has thought too much.

 Burning fire for cooking consumes the most wood.

 And not all trees can be used as firewood. More importantly, even if they can be used as firewood, they must be burned and dried before burning.

 So, next, they still have to find ways to store more wood.

 Actually, Chen Xue also planted a lot of flowers, plants and trees in the space. Anyway, whatever he saw outside, he would basically dig some and plant them in the space.

 However, waiting for those trees to grow up and be used as firewood is impossible in less than a few years. Even if the trees planted in the space grow faster than the outside world, it will take several months.

 After deciding to collect dozens of tons of wood, Chen Xue and others continued to eat hot pot.

Now, there is a blizzard outside, so if the team wants to leave, they have to wait for the blizzard to stop.

 Early the next morning.

As soon as Chen Xue and his family got out of the carriage, they saw Xu Tian walking over.

“What’s wrong? It’s stopped snowing outside?”

Mr. Chen thought that the blizzard had passed and Xu Tian was planning to set off with his team, so he came to see him.

 As a result, he was told that he planned to take a few people out to look for wood.

"Although the cave is big, there is no wood and it can't even make a fire." Xu Tian felt helpless.

“It’s a snowstorm outside. What if something happens to you when you take people out?” Mr. Chen frowned. “If something happens to you then, what will happen to this team?”

With no leader, the prisoner will be like a monkey trying to get out of trouble, running around having fun.

"Master Chen is here, aren't you?" Xu Tian said a little embarrassed, thinking that even if something happened to him, Master Chen would still be here to take care of him.

"you…"

Mr. Chen was a little speechless.

“It’s a blizzard outside, where are you going to find wood?”

Chen Xue curled her lips, and then sighed, "Forget it, we still have some wood in the carriage, you can go there!"

 After all, Xu Tian helped them a lot, and Chen Xue was not an ungrateful person. Anyway, it was just some wood. At most, they worked harder and saved more in the future.

Chen Xue came to another carriage, opened the curtain to reveal the wood inside, then got out of the carriage and let them move it.

 “How can this work!”

Xu Tian quickly waved his hand. If he took it away, what would Master Chen and the others do with it?

　　"Take it as you are told, why are you talking so much nonsense!" Mr. Chen glared at him, pretending to be a little angry.

Xu Tian saw Master Chen was angry and had to do what he did.

 With these wood, you don’t have to take risks outside, and you can last for a few days.

 The days that followed were very peaceful.

 Perhaps it’s because everyone hasn’t had such a quiet rest for a long time, so they enjoy this opportunity very much.

 After all, no one knows whether there will be such an opportunity in the future, so take the time to rest.

Even after the blizzard finally passed, everyone didn’t want to leave.

 “Get up quickly!”

 “On our way!”

Xu Tian urged everyone. They had been delayed for several days because of the snowstorm.

 When I went to Nanman, I was definitely delayed.

A delay of a few days is fine, but if the delay is ten days and a half, not only will they, the government officials, be held responsible, but the prisoners will also be severely punished.

 At the most minor level, he was tortured with ink and had words carved on his face.

 Most importantly, it will make you a heavy laborer, that is, the kind with no rest, 24 hours a day, only a few hours of rest, and you will be made to work day and night until you die of exhaustion.

This is for prisoners, and for yamen servants, at least they will be deprived of their identity as yamen servants, and at worst, they will be thrown into prison, or even beheaded.

 Therefore, the government officials urged everyone to hurry up.

 But because everyone was used to being comfortable, they felt the cold wind outside and immediately didn't want to leave. They even said they would wait until it got warmer outside before leaving.

 Some people even prayed to Xu Tian to let them stay one more day.

Xu Tian saw these people kneeling and praying, and his heart suddenly softened, so he said, "Then it's the last day. We must set off early tomorrow morning!"

 Everyone was immediately overjoyed.

When Mr. Chen heard this, he couldn't help but shook his head, but didn't say anything. Xu Tian's character can only be changed after he suffers setbacks. Just listening to other people's advice cannot change his character.

"bored to death!"

　　After those white-eyed wolves were beaten up by everyone, they just hid in the corner to recover from their injuries.

 After finally recovering from the injury, I feel very bored.

They began to wander around the cave. As they walked, they discovered something strange deep in the cave.

A few people put their ears against the stone wall. After listening for a while, they became even more curious.

So, several people picked up stones and threw them at the stone wall.

　　Bang!

 Soon, the stone wall was smashed.

Hum buzz!

There was a noise in everyone's ears, and then everyone saw a black mass of unknown creatures pouring out of the hole.

 “Oh my God, help me!”

Those people screamed in fright, and then rolled and crawled to other places. Others also saw this scene, and their faces were pale and bloodless with fear.
