Chapter 268 Refuge in the canyon
Forget it, don't worry about it, it's because you can't run away, it's not because you can't force yourself to come.
Shui Ling gave up on taking the teleportation array and remembered that when she got it, she said it was a one-time use.
When we got out of the basement, the house was empty. There was nothing planted in the vegetable patch, except for a few radishes that had not yet been pulled out. They were too small.
It’s just that Shuiling is a little confused. Where can he go when he enters the mountain?
The valley opposite the Salt Lake Cave is a good place, and the rebels can't get through without a boat.
Moreover, the lake over there has a hole, and a small amount of water will flow down for the villagers to drink.
As for the Bison Valley... Shui Ling doesn't plan to take anyone there. Once the villagers know about that place, the wild animals in the valley will be threatened.
Thinking of this, Shui Ling said: "Mom, I'm going to take a look at the salt water lake. You wait for dad. If dad comes back, go find me there."
"Okay." Su Qin nodded.
Shui Ling released the gold and quickly came to the salt water lake. She put on her diving suit and used the booster to quickly reach the other side. She found a big stone and tied a rope to it. Because the salt water lake is not flowing, the water flow has less resistance, making it easier than last time.
Much more.
Directly in front of the valley is the high mountain, with a freshwater lake at the top and a stone mountain on the right blocking the sea water, which will flow in when the tide rises.
The hole that was originally very high is now as tall as a person. After all, the hole has been blocked and the water level has risen a lot.
Coupled with the drought, the water here has dropped a lot, otherwise you would have to crawl over.
Shui Ling took the rope out again and came to the salt water lake. There were eight people in a boat, four were rowing, and four were pulling the rope to gain strength, so that the speed would not be slowed down.
As soon as she changed her clothes, Shui Zheran ran over. He looked at the rope and asked, "Where is that place over there?"
"There is a valley over there. There is no problem hiding people. The key thing is that there is water." Shuiling replied.
"I understand." Shui Zheran nodded and quickly returned to the village.
Shui Ling went to the space to leave a message for Su Qin, hiding the house and meeting at the salt lake.
Not long after, Su Qin came riding on a Hercules loaded with big and small bags. The two babies were not afraid at all and even urged the Hercules to run faster.
Shui Ling said: "I will send you there first and get on the boat."
The two babies were lying on the side of the boat excitedly playing in the water. Even though they were young, they were already good swimmers.
When they arrived at the valley, Shui Ling said, "There are no wild animals here. You guys need to find a place to settle down first, and I'll pick them up."
"Okay." Su Qin released the Hercules, it will make him feel more at ease."
In fact, there was gold and dabai in the space, but they were not released because they were afraid of scaring the villagers.
Shui Ling went back to pick up the people, and as soon as he came out of the cave, he heard the sound of crying and the croaking of various chickens and ducks.
These people had moved all their things here, and the one crying was the daughter-in-law who had married outside the village. She might be worried about her natal family in another village.
Shui Ling shouted: "Grandpa, you go there first."
Shui Dongliu nodded, "Okay, I'll go there first."
He took his family on board the boat, and Shui Ling followed him. Anyway, those people could just see how to use the boat, there was no need for him to do it himself.
When they came to the valley, Shui Dongliu looked around and was happy when he saw the small waterfall on the mountain. "It's good to have water."
He is not short of food, but is afraid of lack of water. It will be easier if there is water here.
This valley is not flat, but long and narrow. If you look at it from the top, it looks like a lying crescent. There are mountains on the edge of the inner bay. There are almost straight up and down cliffs on the right side, and there are ravines at the bottom, which just extend to the salt water lake.
There are a lot of rocks in the valley, so if you want to build a tent, you have to organize the large and small rocks.
Su Qin searched for a long time but couldn't find the ideal place. He looked up and saw the slope of the mountain, which was smoother.
Shui Ling found Su Qin and asked, "Mom, what are you looking at?"
Su Qin pointed to the mountain, "Look, the mountain on the gentle slope is smooth. Go dig a hole."
Shui Ling was speechless. He was addicted to living in a cave. "I'll try it. If the rock is too hard, it won't work."
The location is okay. If the tide comes in and sea water comes in, it will flood the other side but not here.
"Go, go, get the sharpest chisel." Su Qin chuckled.
Shuiling walked up the gentle slope, which was also very flat. At the end was the mountain, with a drop of four or five meters from the bottom.
She took out her chisel and started digging. The stone on the mountain was actually basalt, which was quite hard.
She chiseled for a while, then dug out a small oval hole, and Gong Qianyu came over to take over.
He asked: "How big should the chisel be?"
Shui Ling pointed to the three women watching the scenery next to them, "It can accommodate at least three of them."
"Oh." Gong Qianyu put down the chisel and took out the dagger. After pouring his inner strength into the dagger, he cut the stone like cutting tofu.
Shui Ling silently scolded herself, "Silly!"
She also took out a pickaxe and said, "Get out of the way and let me do it!"
Gong Qianyu quickly got out of the way.
Shui Ling poured her inner strength into the pickaxe and smashed it hard. She heard a bang, and a large piece of it was broken open by her. The stone under the pickaxe was broken into pieces as big as a fist.
"Haha...it seems like I used too much strength." Shui Ling was a little embarrassed.
Gong Qianyu laughed: "You have good internal strength, but it seems you don't use it very much. You need to train it."
"How to train?" Shui Ling asked.
"It's almost enough to dig a three-bedroom house." Gong Qianyu said quietly.
Shui Ling suddenly remembered the slogans shouted by his colleagues when they were building a greenhouse.
"The big hammer is eighty, the small hammer is forty!"
She breathed in her hands, picked up the manuscript and walked inside, "Eighty...eighty..."
Gong Qianyu was confused when he heard this. What's eighty? Does digging cost eighty taels of silver? He doesn't seem to have enough cash...
He walked over silently and said, "I'll do it, you can take the stone out."
"Okay." Shui Ling has had enough fun.
The two of them worked together to quickly dig out an empty house, cut a stone bed directly out of the stone, and put on quilts to sleep on.
Su Qin went in to take a look and nodded to express her satisfaction. She hung a curtain over the bed to make it look more elegant.
As soon as you enter the door, to the left is a bonfire with stone benches on the edge. Opposite the bonfire is the bed.
Shui Ling went outside the cave and took a look at the sky. It was getting dark, but the villagers hadn't finished exercising yet.
Mainly because the villagers brought too many poultry and the village's cattle, so this trip wasted time.
Shui Ling went to the narrow part of the valley to get some dry trees to use as firewood. At midnight, all the villagers finally arrived, and everyone gathered around the bonfire in silence.
Shui Zheran was the last to come back, and he had already cleaned up the traces.
Shui Ling took him to the cave and the family dealt with him for the night.
Early the next morning, someone screamed, "Come here, my things are missing. Whoever steals my things is all my belongings."
