Chapter 71 Hiding from a Wildfire

"call out"

Lin Shuyuan's sleeve arrow shot at the little red snake that crawled out from the crevice of the rock and stood up.

He turned around and asked Lin An who was driving the carriage: "Dad, what kind of snake is this? It looks pretty good."

Lin An looked over and his face was a little heavy. "This is a very rare red cobra, and it is extremely poisonous."

Lin Shuyue touched her arm and shuddered.

"Let's go quickly. There are many poisonous insects and snakes in this stone forest. It's too dangerous."

During the rest of the journey, Lin Shuyue stared at her surroundings nervously with her hair standing on end, fearing that a snake would suddenly jump out.

Finally, on the afternoon of the second day, they walked out of the rocky forest.

Because the water in the bucket was almost empty, the team found a flat ground to stop.

Li and Zhao Xiuyin stayed where they were, while Lin An and his two sons took Lin Gang and Erlangzi up the mountain to look for water.

Lin Shuyue did not follow. There was no drought here, so it was easy to find water.

At this time, she and her two brothers Lin Lei were digging up some newly grown wild vegetables.

Perhaps because Yuping Prefecture is located in the south, wild vegetables have already begun to emerge at the end of February.

“You can eat cold wild vegetables in the evening...”

Lin Hu was digging wild vegetables excitedly with his butt sticking out.

Half an hour later, Lin An and the others each came back with a bucket of water.

The brothers Lin Shuyue and Lin Lei had already dug up all the wild vegetables on the nearby hillside and filled two backpacks.

In the evening, everyone kept reaching for the bowl of cold wild vegetables with their chopsticks and praising Lin Shuyue again and again.

Lin Shuyue didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but the wild vegetables that had just emerged were indeed very fresh and tender.

At this time, Xuebao's ears moved.

"Sister, there are a lot of voices and horse hooves over there." He pointed to the woods on the right side of the path.

Lin Shuyue's face changed, and she hurriedly whispered, "Put out the fire quickly and pack up."

When everyone heard this, they knew something had happened, and they hurriedly put out the fire and put away the things they had taken out.

"Don't make any noise here. I'm going to check the woods on the right. There's some movement over there."

Lin Shuyue gave them a few instructions and then rode on his Weifeng and disappeared into the woods on the right side of the path.

Lin An and others were waiting there with anxiety.

The majestic footsteps were very light, and it ran silently in the woods carrying Lin Shuyue.

In less than a quarter of an hour, Lin Shuyue saw a fire at the foot of the mountain. It turned out that they were so close to the official road.

The soldiers at the foot of the mountain were chasing the fleeing crowd.

Lin Shuyue hid in the darkness and saw that most of the people had fled into the mountains and forests.

Perhaps because it was night, the officers and soldiers did not chase up the mountain, and the fleeing people breathed a sigh of relief when they saw this.

After understanding the situation, Lin Shuyue hurried back to the camp.

"Xiaoya, what happened?"

Everyone gathered around and asked in a low voice.

“There were soldiers on the official road arresting people, but everyone had fled into the mountains and forests.

We have to leave quickly, this place is too close to the official road, it feels unsafe."

In the night, Lin Shuyue's expression was a little serious. Thinking of the torches of those officers and soldiers, she had an ominous premonition.

"Okay, we've packed our things, let's go."

Lin Shuyue led the way holding a torch, while her two brothers protected the team from behind, and the group quietly made their way.

Not long after they started walking, they all smelled something burning and looked back.

Everyone was horrified to find that there was thick smoke coming out of the forest in the distance behind them...

"No, they set the mountain on fire!"

"What a bunch of heartless people!"

Everyone fled as quickly as possible, cursing the officers and soldiers.

Lin Shuyue was standing in front and turned her head to look behind her from time to time. The fire spread rapidly, and the flames illuminated half of the sky red.

She was very anxious, thinking she couldn't run away, so she had to find a cave to hide.

"Orabao, Weifeng, run forward and look for a cave where we can escape the wildfire."

Olaf immediately jumped onto Weifeng and soon disappeared.

"Quick, speed up!"

Lin Shuyuan and his two brothers shouted anxiously at the back of the team.

The temperature around was getting higher and higher. People wearing jackets began to sweat, and the choking smoke made everyone cough constantly.

Zhao Xiuyin quickly found a piece of new cloth and tore it into strips.

Then soak it in a bucket of water and let Lin Shuyan distribute it to everyone. It will feel better if you cover your mouth and nose with it.

“…Wow…”

Niu Niu in Lianhua's arms felt stuffy and uncomfortable, so she started crying.

Lin Shuyue felt very angry and helpless.

She couldn't imagine how desperate the people hiding in the woods were at this moment, and she hated those unscrupulous officers and soldiers more and more.

The fire was getting closer and closer to them, and everyone became more and more nervous.

"Sister, come with us!"

Weifeng ran back quickly, shouted something at Lin Shuyue, then turned around and led the way.

"Follow me! Weifeng and the others found the cave, hurry up!"

Lin Shuyue excitedly shouted to the people behind her, and Lin An and others quickly followed.

But not long after they walked, they found that the road to the cave was not easy to travel on and the carriage could not go up at all.

Lin An acted decisively and asked everyone to unload the carriages immediately, take some food and valuables, and ride forward on horseback.

Five horses, Lin An led Erlangzi, Li led Zhao Xiuyin,

Lin Shuyuan took Lin Lei, Lin Gang took Lianhua and Niuniu, and Lin Shuyan took Lin Hu, and everyone was quickly assigned.

Lin Shuyue asked them to go first and she followed behind.

Everyone knew that she was good at martial arts, so without saying much, they carried the food and rode on their horses, following Wei Feng towards the cave.

Seeing that everyone had gone far away, Lin Shuyue quickly put the dismantled carriages into the space, used her lightness skills, and quickly caught up with them.

A quarter of an hour later, Wei Feng brought them to the back of the forest.

They passed through a bamboo forest and came to a stone wall covered with vines.

Olaf stepped forward and scratched the vine with his sharp claws, and the vine was immediately broken.

Lin An and others stepped forward and pulled the vines apart, revealing a dark hole.

Everyone was overjoyed and quickly led their horses inside. Lin An followed Wei Feng holding a torch.

The cave was very deep and the passage was very spacious. After walking inside for a long time, they stopped in a wide cave.

Everyone smiled at each other, feeling the joy of surviving a disaster.

Lin Shuyue was not so optimistic, because there was only one passage in this cave.

She was worried that everyone would suffocate when the wildfire passed through.

She held Olaf in her arms and looked around the cave, and found a slightly smaller passage on both sides of the cave.

Standing in front of the cave entrance, Lin Shuyue keenly felt a cool breeze coming towards her, which seemed to be a little wet.

She was a little curious, so she walked into the cave with a torch in hand.

The tunnel was a bit narrow and it took a quarter of an hour to walk through it in twists and turns.

Suddenly, a cool breeze blew over her face. She stepped out of the cave and came to an underground river.

Lin Shuyue was overjoyed and trotted back without even taking a closer look.

"Dad, Mom, Grandma Xiuyin, everyone, hurry up and get your things, lead the horses and follow me."

Lin Shuyue ran back to the cave outside, feeling the rising temperature, and realized that the fire was about to pass...
