"Wife, take the children and clean up the area under the tree first. I'll take Yiyi to find some suitable stones for building a stove."

"Okay, then you two go." Zhang took the big broom from the donkey cart and began to sweep the ground under the tree.

She swept all the pebbles into a pile, and the three Yun brothers threw the piles of pebbles far away. After Zhang cleaned up the sleeping area and the cooking area, she stopped cleaning up.

She asked Brother Yun to bring his two younger brothers to lay out the sleeping mats. She helped to move the dining table from the car. Then, she also took down the pots, pans, and other utensils for cooking tonight from the car and prepared them.

Butcher Yun led Yun Yiyi through the woods and came to a place full of stones. The two of them searched for suitable stones separately.

Yun Yiyi looked at the stones of different sizes and felt a little confused. She touched her chin and thought for a while, then decided to find a big stone and break it into two pieces. This would be the fastest way.

Yun Yiyi began to walk around the area, and when she came to a small hill, she found a large stone, half of which was exposed and half was buried in the soil.

Yun Yiyi put down the stick in her hand, bent down, hugged the stone with both hands, and began to pull it out. At first, the stone didn't move at all. Yun Yiyi didn't believe it, so she stood up and rubbed her hands against it. Then, she bent down again, hugged the stone with both hands, and pulled it out hard.

Very good, the stone was finally pulled out. Yun Yiyi walked around the stone. She found that the stone was a bit big, but she found that the bottom of the stone was very flat and it was very stable when placed on the ground. Yun Yiyi took the stick and hit the back half of the stone.

Yun Yiyi used too much force, and the stone that was knocked down broke into several pieces. Fortunately, the stone that was deliberately knocked down just now was not used. Yun Yiyi breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, Yun Yiyi hit the middle of the stone with a stick and successfully split the stone into two pieces of similar size. Yun Yiyi looked at her results and was very satisfied.

"Dad, I have two suitable stones here." Yun Yiyi shouted to Yun the butcher in the distance.

After hearing this, Yun the Butcher walked over quickly. He also saw two stones of similar size on the ground. He looked at Yun Yiyi holding the stick in surprise.

"Yiyi, you are really quick. I just found a suitable stone. Together with the two stones you found, it is just enough to build the stove." Yun the Butcher said happily.

"Dad, I tell you, don't just look for suitable stones directly in the future. The stones here are either too big or too small. It's too difficult to find them. You'd better turn the big stones into small stones like me, which will be faster." Yun Yiyi said, pointing to the stones on the ground.

"Yiyi's little brain is still quick. Let's carry the stones back first, and then take the basket to find firewood." After saying this, Yun the butcher moved a stone from the ground, and Yun Yiyi rushed to move the remaining stone.

Butcher Yun walked back, carried the stones he had found, and returned to the woods with Yun Yiyi.

"Mom, I've brought the stones back for you. I've put them here for you. Please ask my second brother to build the stove. I'll go with Dad to collect firewood." Yun Yiyi said as she walked back, holding her stick.

"Okay, mom got it. When you go out, follow your dad closely. Don't run around everywhere." Zhang hurriedly instructed.

"I got it, Mom. I will take care of Yiyi. Don't worry." said Brother Yun, who was walking at the back.

Butcher Yun led Yun Yiyi and the others through the pile of rocks and into the woods above.

The trees in the woods were not very thick, so Yun the Butcher kicked the trees, and often after a few kicks a tree would fall down.

Yun Yiyi watched from the side and found it very interesting. She kicked a small tree next to her hard. The tree fell down. Yun Yiyi wandered around in the woods, looking for small and thin trees. Such trees could be burned directly when they were taken home, without having to be split into small pieces with an axe.

In a short while, Yun Yiyi had kicked more than 30 trees. She looked back and found that she was about 200 meters away from Yun the Butcher. She glanced at Yun the Butcher, Yun the Big Brother, and Yun the Third Brother who were still busy collecting firewood, and she quietly walked forward.

She found that the further she went, the thicker the trees became, and the higher the terrain became. After walking another 200 meters, she found a cliff in front of her that was made of rocks. Yun Yiyi looked up and saw that the cliff was very high, estimated to be more than 30 meters high.

Yun Yiyi walked around the bottom of the cliff for fifty meters. She found that the cliff was too big and probably extended far forward. Yun Yiyi was worried that Yun the Butcher would look for her, so she turned back.

Suddenly, Yun Yiyi felt something was wrong. She stepped back a few steps, squatted in front of a large, slightly damp rock, and took a closer look. This large rock extended from the cliff. Under the large rock was soil, but unusually, the soil was damp.

Yun Yiyi grabbed a handful of soil. The soil was very wet and still stuck to her hands. She looked up and saw some green ferns on the soil. Well, this is the strange thing. After walking in the woods for so long, the soil has always been very loose and will fly everywhere if you step on it.

However, the soil here is damp and black in color. There are also green plants growing next to it. This is too strange.

Yun Yiyi became interested. She first found a sharp stone from the woods. Then, she used the stone to dig into the wet soil. The soil was a bit sticky and difficult to dig with the stone.

Yun Yiyi simply threw the stone aside and started digging with her hands. After Yun Yiyi dug up all the wet soil, she found that she had actually dug a small pit, which was not big and was more than 20 centimeters long.

And when they dug to the bottom, there was no soil, only rocks. Yun Yiyi found that there was a small amount of water coming out of the soil near the cliff. She turned in another direction and dug out all the soil under the big rocks near the cliff.

Yun Yiyi finally found that the water was a small stream coming out of the stone. Yun Yiyi looked at the stone wall where the water was flowing and laughed happily. She felt that she was lucky to find water in this way.

Yun Yiyi hurriedly dug the small hole below to collect water, and stopped when it was 60 centimeters long. The water flow was not too strong, and it was estimated that two buckets of water could be collected in an hour.

Yun Yiyi looked around and found no one. She turned and went into the space to wash her hands. She didn't dare to stay any longer and left the space immediately.

She looked down and found that the bottom of the puddle was full of water. The outside of the puddle was soil, the inside was a stone wall, and the bottom was also a stone wall, so the water in the puddle was very turbid. Yun Yiyi put her hand into the puddle and led the water in the space into the puddle. She stopped when the puddle was almost full.
