Lucky husband

Chapter 408 Survival in the Valley

Li Mingjin, who was walking in front, heard footsteps behind him, looked back, and found Princess Jing'an and Jiang Fulang coming out, he licked his lips and said nothing.

At this time, Bai Ting's mind was full of drinking water later, she didn't notice the movement behind, she didn't know that Princess Jing'an and the others were also going out.

Li Mingjin and the others took a few steps forward, and their vision was completely widened. Bai Ting stood at the entrance of the cave and touched it.

The shape of the entrance of the cave is a bit strange, the bottom is the mountain wall, and a hole is opened in the upper part, through which the people inside can climb out.

Obviously, such a cave was dug by people. I don't know why someone dug such a cave in this place.

"Let me do it." Standing at the entrance of the cave, Bai Ting took the lead and lay down on the ground first, and lifted herself up with all her strength, her upper body stuck out of the cave.

Without the slightest hesitation, she continued to use some force and climbed out.

Standing outside again, facing the blue sky and white clouds, Bai Ting was in a great mood, as if they had escaped from the sky and were rescued now.

After taking a few breaths of the fresher air outside than in the cave, Bai Ting squatted down and whispered to Li Mingjin who was still in the cave: "Brother Jin, can you come out by yourself, do you want me to give you a hand? "

"No, I'll try first." After Bai Ting went out, Li Mingjin imitated Bai Ting and put his hands on the cave entrance, a little slower than Bai Ting, but he still crawled out by himself.

As soon as he got out of the cave, the smell, sound and scenery outside made Li Mingjin's mood immediately lifted, but he didn't relax his vigilance and looked around carefully.

Judging from the terrain, they are located halfway up a mountain in a valley.

There are no tall trees on the hillsides around the valley, but a lot of bushes are densely distributed. Just in front of the cave they climbed out of, there are a few bushes that are almost as tall as a person, which happens to block the exit of the cave. .

In addition to the shrubs, there are many stones on the hillside. Li Mingjin thinks that these stones should not be here naturally. It seems that someone deliberately placed these stones here, perhaps as a mark so that others can find the entrance of the cave.

At the foot of the mountain, there is a clear but fast-flowing small river. The sound of water that Li Mingjin heard in the cave just now is the sound of the river hitting the stones on both sides.

Li Mingjin looked at the clear water, wishing he could go down and take a sip immediately, to soothe his dry throat that was almost on fire.

For the sake of safety, Li Mingjin's eyes were moved away from the river with difficulty, and he looked to both sides. At this moment, Li Mingjin frowned, and found something he had overlooked. There was an inconspicuous stone house on the side of the valley.

There are many stones on both sides of the small river. Someone used these stones to build a house underneath. Judging from the integrity of the thatch on the roof, it can be guessed that this stone house is not dilapidated because people often come to live there.

While Li Mingjin was observing the situation in the valley, Bai Ting was lying at the entrance of the cave, talking to Princess Jing'an and Jiang Fulang who hadn't come out yet, letting them know what it was like outside the cave.

After a while, Princess Jing'an and Jiang Fulang also walked to the entrance of the cave. After confirming that there was water outside, they both climbed out of the cave one after another with the help of Bai Ting.

Princess Jing'an climbed up first, and she grabbed Jiang Fulang who was about to rush down just after he came out, and said, "There is a stone house over there, don't run so fast, maybe there are people below."

"What?" Jiang Fulang stopped, and was pulled to sit on the ground. Fortunately, there were many fallen leaves on the ground, which was very soft, and it didn't hurt too much when he fell.

The first time Princess Jing'an climbed out of the cave was to observe the valley, she saw the stone house at first sight.

Li Mingjin thought for a while and said, "It should be fine. This stone house was not made by Jin people. I think it might be a place where hunters from nearby villages spent the night in the mountains."

What Li Mingjin said made sense. People in the Kingdom of Jin don’t know how to farm. They drive cattle and sheep to wander around on the grasslands in the north. Most people in Jin live in tents. They don’t know how to build houses with stones. This stone house should not be It was made by the Jin people.

"Then shall we go down?" Jiang Fulang stared at the river below the hillside with straight eyes.

"Well, let's go, remember to be careful." Li Mingjin nodded.

Although he had an intuition that there would be no danger in this valley, he still had to be careful outside. In case of injury or other accidents, there was nothing they could do.

Taking advantage of the cover of the bushes on the hillside, Li Mingjin and the others walked carefully to the bottom of the valley. During this period, the stone house remained silent.

After confirming that the valley was safe, not to mention Jiang Fulang couldn't hold back, Princess Jing'an didn't hold back, and ran to the river side quickly, washed his hands briefly, and took a sip of water with his hands.

Li Mingjin was the same, his stomach was empty, and after drinking a few mouthfuls of the sweet river water, he felt refreshed, as if he had come back to life.

After drinking enough water, Li Mingjin lay on the river bank, watching the white clouds moving slowly in the sky, feeling tired, he closed his eyes and relaxed.

Bai Ting was sitting on the ground. She still remembered that Princess Jing'an asked the time in the cave, looked up at the sky, and said in surprise: "According to the time when we left the golden man, it took us almost three hours to walk in the cave." .”

"Three hours?" Princess Jing'an was taken aback. They kept walking forward in the cave without knowing how long they walked.

"No wonder I feel that my feet are going to be useless." Jiang Fulang didn't know what to think, his eyes turned red, and he turned his head quickly to prevent others from seeing him like this.

All of them had just experienced a thrilling escape and finally arrived at a relatively safe place. They all lay on the ground relaxed like Li Mingjin, not caring about anything, and the riverside became quiet.

What broke the silence was Princess Jing'an's stomach growling. It was already noon, and the feeling of hunger struck again.

Li Mingjin endured the dizziness and stood up: "Just now I saw a few fruit trees on the other side of the valley, I'll go over there to see if they are fruit trees."

It wasn't that Li Mingjin saw fruit trees in the corner of the valley, it was his intuition that told him that there was something to eat in the trees over there.

No one objected to Li Mingjin's proposal, and Princess Jing'an also stood up silently, as if she planned to go to the fruit tree with Li Mingjin.

Now the four of them are in the mountains, hunting is impossible without tools, and eating wild fruits from fruit trees is the fastest way to fill their stomachs.

Although Princess Jing'an is pampered, it doesn't make sense for everyone to run away together. Li Mingjin and Bai Ting must act like servants, and she doesn't have to do anything.

In the face of Princess Jing'an who offered to help, Li Mingjin did not refuse. He just wanted to eat some wild fruits to fill his stomach and have a good rest. Other things will be discussed after he has had enough rest.

Li Mingjin and Princess Jing'an left, Bai Ting also sat up: "I'll go to the stone house to see if there is anything to eat."

Jiang Fulang hesitated, bit his lip and stood up, followed Bai Ting to the stone house.

Li Mingjin didn't look at the road, but walked forward according to his intuition, and soon found a few apricot trees and a grape next to the apricot tree in an inconspicuous corner of the valley.

The apricot tree was covered with yellow and orange apricots, each one was at least as big as a child's fist, which made Li Mingjin and Princess Jing'an salivate.

Grape vines hang on several dead trees, and the dead trees become grape trestles, with bunches of grapes hanging below, reflecting charming colors in the sunlight.

"Great." Princess Jing'an showed her first smile of the day. She was no longer as particular as she used to be in the princess mansion, and she reached out to pick a few grapes and stuffed them into her mouth.

Li Mingjin prefers to eat apricots, so he stepped up and picked two apricots in his hand, breaking them lightly, the apricot flesh was exposed, and the sweet smell penetrated into his nostrils.

Princess Jing'an and Li Mingjin ate grapes one and apricots the other, and it took a while to realize that there were hungry Bai Ting and Jiang Fulang waiting for them to send the fruit back.

After eating something, the dizziness caused by hunger got better, Li Mingjin lifted up his dirty outer shirt as a bib, and picked apricots one by one on tiptoe.

Princess Jing'an imitated him and picked grapes.

On this side, Li Mingjin and the others who came out to look for fruit trees returned with a full load, and on the other side, Bai Ting and Jiang Fulang also found useful things in the stone house.

In addition to fireboxes, salt and clay pots for boiling water, etc., there are a lot of leather in the stone house. If it is cold in the valley at night, they can use the leather to keep warm.

Putting Xing on the grass, Li Mingjin looked at the fishnet on Bai Ting's hand as she walked over, her eyes shining brightly.

As people who grew up in the village next to the river, both Bai Ting and Li Mingjin can use fishing nets. Li Mingjin asked Bai Ting to eat fruit first. He took the fishing net and put it in the water. If they are lucky, they might be able to roast it later. A few fish come to eat.

After sharing the apricots and grapes, the complexions of the four of them improved a lot. They lay on the ground again to bask in the sun and rested. They were really exhausted from the morning escape.

Halfway through the afternoon, Li Mingjin felt that most of his physical strength had recovered. He went to the place where he lowered the net before, and was overjoyed. There were actually several fish in the broken fishing net.

Pull up the fishing net, two arm-long grass carp, and six palm-sized crucian carp, enough for the four of them to have a full meal.

Princess Jing'an was very happy when she saw it. She would get hungry if she only ate wild fruits, and it would be better to have fish. In order to grill the fish, she took Jiang Fulang up the mountain to collect firewood.

Calling Jiang Fulang away was not just to collect firewood, but also to find some time for them to spend alone, and to ask Jiang Fulang what happened to him being poisoned.

Li Mingjin took a look at them, and continued to kill and scale the fish with the thin stone flakes he found in the stone house. Without any tools at hand, it was a bit laborious to do these things, resulting in pits on the surface of the fish, and some fish scales were not cleaned.
