After the Earthquake of Rebirth

When Du Cheng helped Ning Qiyan and Ning Xiaowen down, Huzi had already bent down and walked down the steps.

When Ning Qiyan and Ning Xiaowen turned on the flashlights, Du Cheng also bent down and walked down.All four of them have flashlights in their hands, and they don't need to support each other.

After walking a few steps, Ning Qiyan was pulled back by Ning Xiaowen who was behind him. He wanted to ask what's the matter, but before he could open his mouth, he was speechless when he turned around.

I saw Du Dabao standing directly below the entrance of the cave, stretching his neck vigorously, so that his head was as close to the entrance of the cave as possible, and then one by one the ducklings jumped onto his head, and followed his neck and back , tail, and finally slide to the ground.

On the other side, Ning Xiaobao and Ning Xiaobei, who were able to jump down without Du Dabao's support, each picked up a duckling and walked down the steps, passing by Ning Xiaowen and Ning Qiyan. When he was there, he raised his head and looked at the two of them.

Ning Qiyan and Ning Xiaowen stared at each other for a while, and didn't turn back until they heard Du Cheng call them.Halfway there, I saw Ning Xiaobao and Ning Xiaobei who came back empty-mouthed and ran up.

keep going.

Ning Xiaobao and Ning Xiaobei passed by with two ducks in their mouths.

……

Ning Qiyan supported the wall, powerlessly said: "These three in our family are just fine?!"

Ning Xiaowen pursed his lips and smiled, and then comforted him after laughing: "Don't think too much, our animals are more friendly."

Friendship?

Ha ha!

From the very beginning when he had to bend over so as not to hit his head, to the last step, Ning Qiyan shone the light of his flashlight upwards, and the stone wall above his head was at least three to forty meters from the ground.Turning around a lot along the way, Ning Qiyan didn't know if they were standing right under the yard of their space, or if the area on the ground was as big as a house and a yard, but the area underground could go beyond the ground superior.

They have come to the end now, and by the light of the flashlight, they look around, and the size they can see is actually about the size of their yard, surrounded by bare stone walls, and the soil under their feet is very fine, there is no gravel, and it is slightly damp .

"Come here."

Ning Qiyan was about to squat down to look at the soil on the ground when he heard Huzi's voice of surprise.

"What's wrong?" Ning Xiaowen ran over first.

"Look!" Beard shone his flashlight on the junction between the stone wall and the ground on his side.

Du Cheng and Ning Qiyan who came over also looked at the light.

"Water?" Ning Qiyan was surprised, but then he turned his head and thought, wasn't what they were looking for in the first place to wet the ducklings? !

"No," Hu Zi pulled Ning Xiaowen to squat down, "Look carefully in the water."

Ning Qiyan also leaned over to Du Cheng's side, and they squatted down together.

Ning Qiyan first noticed the windless and automatic water surface.

running water?

"Is it a fish? There are fish here?!" Ning Xiaowen said in surprise when he saw the small silver fish under the water surface according to Hu Zi's guidance.

Ning Qiyan looked carefully, and there were indeed fish in the water, and there were quite a few of them, as far as the flashlight in his hand was shining, there were no less than a dozen of them.

Small silver fishes swam around, the biggest ones were no more than a finger long, not as thick as a little finger.

At this time, Du Dabao, who didn't know when he had finished taking care of the duckling, also came over, lowered his head, and stuck out his tongue directly on the surface of the water to drink.

Ning Xiaowen wanted to stop him, but was held back by Hu Zi.

"Who knows if the water is dry or not." Ning Xiaowen frowned.

Beard laughed, "Do you think this is the first time it drinks?"

Ning Xiaowen was speechless.

Judging from the earliest time of Du Dabao's disappearance, since he and Hu Zi knew about the space, Du Dabao should have discovered this place, and probably drank the water here.

"I'll just say that the three of our family have become spirits!" Ning Qiyan looked at a place not far from him, Ning Xiaobao and Ning Xiaobei were catching fish in a small puddle with their paws, and murmured.

It was normal for the cat to catch fish, but what he was speechless was that the long and thin water channel connecting the puddle and the water flow in the corner obviously had traces of excavation, and the thin scratch marks were not Du Dabao's, but these two kittens'.

I don't know if the puddles and waterways existed originally and were dug up by them later, or they were simply created by the three self-reliance.

No matter what, Ning Qiyan felt that what he raised was not a pet at all, but a goblin, right? !

"...The one raised by our family must be smart." Compared to Hu Zi and Du Cheng who were already speechless, Ning Xiaowen held back for a long time, and finally uttered a word dryly.

Ning Qiyan grabbed Du Dabao and looked at it carefully.

……

Facing such a stupid face with grinning mouth and tongue lolling to one side, Ning Qiyan wiped his face, he was indeed thinking too much.

Letting go of Du Dabao, Ning Qiyan put his hand into the water, felt the direction of the water, got up and walked to the wall on the left.

On the ground, the two stone walls are closely connected, no matter how you look at it, it looks like a whole stone.But close to the ground, where the water flowed, there was an irregular stone cave the size of two palms split between the stone walls, and the water came from the cave.

In other words, unless they can make themselves smaller and pass through the cave, they will still not be able to see the other side of the cave.

Or break the stones?

Don’t even think about it, it might be their yard and house above their heads. No matter how strong the stone wall looks, they dare not destroy it at will. It's not worth putting in the yard.

Ning Qiyan struggled for a while and then decided to give up exploring.

He can't even explain space, and it's useless to explore too much.

The four roughly checked all the positions below, and then prepared to go up.The place is here, and they can't run away. They can study it slowly, and they don't know how long it has been. The growling stomach is the big deal.

Huzi went up first, and came down with three baskets. There was no need for Ning Xiaobao and Ning Xiaobei to run back and forth with the ducks in their mouths, they just put the ducks into the baskets and carried them up.

But having said that, it's really difficult for Du Dabao and the others. They carry ducks back and forth every day, and they don't know what they are doing.

Walking back along the steps, because the shovel had not been removed, the stones at the entrance of the cave were not closed. With a little force, Du Cheng opened the stone door, put his hands on the edge of the cave entrance, and jumped up as soon as he exerted his strength.

Then he turned around and pulled out Ning Qiyan and the others. Including Du Dabao and the three of them, everyone and animals came up, and the stone door was slowly closed again.

Huzi went into the room and searched around, but couldn't find any suitable ones, so he simply moved out the small low table they usually put on the kang, and turned the table face down, just covering the stone door.

"Let's just make do with it. Tomorrow we have to move the duck nest, so we can't keep blocking it here." Hu Zi patted the dust on his hands and said.

Du Cheng nodded.

Ning Qiyan went into the room and looked at his watch. It was already past seven o'clock in the evening, so there was no time to do anything else. Together with Ning Xiaowen, he ate the leftover sparerib soup noodles at noon. As for the spareribs, he gave them to Du Dabao.

Finally able to eat the bones into his mouth, Du Dabao couldn't care less about anything and just ate hard.

Starved baby TAT.

"The underground place is not small. Think about what you can do. It would be too wasteful to be empty." Swallowing the last mouthful of soup, Ning Xiaowen put down the bowl and said.

Huzi nodded while eating, swallowed what was in his mouth, and interjected: "I saw that the soil layer below is quite thick. If I had known earlier, we would not connect those lights to the platform, and put them directly on the ground. The temperature here is lower than It’s easy to grow crops outside.”

Ning Qiyan thought for a while, but said nothing.

Ning Xiaowen directly denied Huzi's statement.

"It's not ventilated below, and it's so damp. The roots will rot before they grow and mature, so don't think about it."

Huzi was right when he thought about it, he shrugged, "Then what else can I do?" After speaking, he didn't know what he thought of, and suddenly became amused.

Ning Xiaowen glanced at him inexplicably: "What are you laughing at?"

Huzi smiled for a while before saying: "I thought the stairs we walked were so long, and you will go to pick mushrooms in the future, so you won't have to worry about no place to dry them now."

Ning Xiaowen rolled his eyes, even if there is no place, they are enough to hang out, okay? !

Ning Qiyan shook his head, "Mushrooms, we won't be able to pick many in the future."

Beard was surprised, "What's wrong?"

"The trees here are almost cut down before winter. Where can we grow so many mushrooms? Unless we go to the mountains to pick them."

Now the snow has almost melted, and the bare mountains are exposed. They live so high that there are hardly a few trees at a glance.

Speaking of this, everyone was a little silent.

Even the grove on the cliff above their cave was cut down before winter. Although the land above the cave was occupied by their family, they did not stop anyone who tried to cut down trees.

The winter is difficult, and I have all the reserves at home, but I can't just watch others cut some firewood for the winter and they still stop them.Even they themselves chopped a lot together. At that time, Wang Yang and the others hadn't returned from the city, and they couldn't use it for themselves, so it was better to save some for Wang Yang and the others.

But this winter has passed safely, and the high temperature in summer will be miserable. Without the regulation of trees, I don't know how hot the mountains will be this year.

"We can get through it." After a while, Ning Qiyan sighed and comforted him.

But now they mainly think about how to use the underground space.

There is no light in the ground, and there is no extra light in their house. Whether it is planting or breeding, it is impossible to get through, and even if it is a warehouse, it has to worry about the materials being damp.After thinking about it all night, the four of them couldn't come up with a feasible plan, so they had to give up in the end.

Take one step at a time and see one step at a time. There is nowhere to go, and it can always be used.

The next day, Ning Qiyan and Ning Xiaowen found out all the wires in the house. No matter what, they had to connect a lamp for lighting.The range of the flashlight is too small. For the torch, the underground space is not large and deep. I worry that the oxygen consumption will be too large, which will be dangerous.

But if you want to connect the lights, the wires need to be very long, and the remaining wires in the house are not even enough for one-third, so you can only wait for the warmer to go to the redemption point for replacement.
