Chapter 64 Stocking up

The next day, Mu Zhixu was patrolling around the cave as usual. She noticed a series of footprints not far from the boundary where the animal repelling powder had been sprinkled.

The footprints were obviously not human. They were shaped like plum blossoms and looked like dog footprints, but there could be no dogs in this deep mountain forest.

It seems that a wild beast came last night, but I don't know if it was a wolf or a tiger.

Mu Zhixu was a little annoyed.

She was so relaxed these days, sleeping soundly at night, that she didn't even notice there was danger outside the cave.

But fortunately, judging from the footprints, there should be only one wolf, not a group of wolves, and the animal repellent powder also played its role.

As long as you don't leave the cave, you should be fine.

After Mu Zhixu returned to the cave, he once again told Li Sanniang, Mulzhilan, Mulzhiliu, and Chen Zhi not to go out casually.

Seeing Mu Zhixu's serious look, several people nodded.

Li Sanniang and others couldn't leave the cave, so the tasks of finding firewood and filling water were placed on Mu Zhixu.

Mu Zhixu has weapons, and he also carries a pack of animal repellent powder, which can be regarded as a multi-layered guarantee.

When she went out again, she was much more cautious than before. The animal repellent powder actually gave off a pungent and unpleasant smell that only animals could smell.

But if this group of wolves is angered or the wolves are hungry, they will not care so much and will only think about killing their prey.

Mu Zhixu piled a lot of firewood into the cave again and again. With this firewood, it would be enough to stay in the cave for ten days and a half.

"Zhixu, why are you hoarding so much firewood?"

Li Sanniang saw that less than half of the originally small cave was occupied, and the originally small space became even more crowded.

She asked a little strangely, there are firewood everywhere around, the most indispensable thing in this forest is firewood, is it necessary to store so much?

"It's always good to stock up more." Mu Zhixu did not explain.

Li Sanniang nodded, that's right, there is nothing wrong with stocking up on more things.

There is so much firewood in the cave that there is no need to go out and chop it every day.

A few days passed like this, and Mu Zhixu would go to the cliff almost every day to see what was going on below.

That cliff is also near this cave. Compared with the cliff where I stayed before, the scene inside and outside the city gate at the foot of the mountain is not very clear from this place.

But now the situation is special and it can be used if necessary.

As several days passed, more and more people gathered at the foot of the mountain. Especially at the city gate at the front, it was like a hornet's nest, making it impossible to squeeze out.

But the strange thing is that there used to be scenes of fighting and grabbing food at the city gate.

Nowadays, people almost stay together in twos and threes, not talking.

Mu Zhixu didn't know what they were thinking.

But most of the time, their heads were all looking towards the city gate, sometimes at the closed city gate and sometimes at the soldiers guarding the city gate.

Their cheeks were thin and their faces were like ghosts, and they looked very scary as they kept staring at one place.

There is no noise, no emotional outbursts, only endless silence.

If you don’t break out in silence, you will perish in silence.

Another day during the day, Mu Zhixu came to the cliff as usual and stared at the city gate.

Unexpectedly, I found that the originally quiet refugees began to move. They seemed to be holding something in their hands, which was hidden under their wide skirts and could not be seen clearly.

The refugees gathered together in groups, whether they were old people or men, all of them were plotting something.
