Chapter 377 Listen to you
Somewhere in a forest cave
Unlike the quiet night in Hsinchu Village, it was pouring rain and thunder outside the cave.
The cave was very large, with several carriages parked inside, forming a small enclosure. The horses stood quietly on one side, with the horse ropes tied to stone pillars. The firewood was crackling, and racks were set up next to the fire, hung with clothes that were still dripping with water. A layer of hay mats was spread on the ground, and everyone lay on it and fell asleep, snoring everywhere.
There were only three figures sitting in front of the fire. None of them spoke, and they were all flipping through books by the firelight.
A sudden "ding" sound was heard. Gu Qinghan was a little surprised and a little happy when he heard the familiar voice again.
The voice that I had been thinking about did not come out as expected. There was only a cold reminder sound, "Ding! The item sent by the main system has been successfully received and has been placed in the storage area for you. Please check it."
Main system? What item?
Gu Qinghan was confused for a moment, but soon reacted.
I just didn't expect that Ayuan's magical power would be so great that he could send things over from such a long distance. Since he has sent the things over, why doesn't he talk to me?
He silently thought of the storage area, and soon a pile of full bottles and jars, a large pile of herbal bags came into view, and exactly ten yellow loquats. The corners of his mouth unconsciously curled up slightly, and his originally stern face seemed somewhat gentle under the light of the fire.
The night wind mixed with rain blew into the cave entrance. The people sleeping on the ground curled up unconsciously and pulled their quilts closer, but Gu Qinghan didn't feel cold at all. His heart was full of warmth.
After traveling for several days, we just walked out of the North City today. Since we were not going to the North City, we did not pass through the forest filled with poisonous gas last night. The road we walked on was very flat. We had originally planned to travel at night, but the weather was not good and it rained very suddenly. At first it was just a little rain and no one took it seriously, but it started to rain heavier with thunder. As a result, the rain became heavier and heavier, and we had no choice but to enter the forest in a very embarrassed manner, and accidentally saw a cave entrance where they could rest.
The cave was very clean, as if someone had spent the night here before. There was hay and some firewood.
So the journey was paused and the group settled down in a cave.
"It's almost time. Let's change someone to keep watch." Luo Xile yawned, put the book against his chest, stood up and stretched, then whispered to Gu Qinghan and Lu Zishi.
"Okay." Gu Qinghan replied, stood up and woke Li Junyong up.
Li Junyong, Feng Juesheng and Shi Chen were on guard in the second half of the night, and they woke up quickly.
The rain continued to fall until dawn.
Gu Qinghan was awakened by a "ding" reminder sound in his mind. Before he was fully conscious, he heard a familiar voice. He suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the empty cave wall.
[Gu Qinghan, can you hear me?]
[You should be up by now, right? Are you still asleep?]
When Gu Qinghan heard Xu Yuan's muttering, the corner of his mouth raised. Afraid that Xu Yuan would lose contact in a moment, he quickly replied.
[Can I hear you? Good morning, are you thinking about me so early in the morning?]
[Who missed you? Don't interrupt, Gu Qinghan, the things I gave you have all arrived, remember to take a small handful of the noodles at a time, you can't do this according to common sense, there are some other things you can use, eat well on the way.]
[Got it, thank you Ayuan, is everything okay in the village?]
[I'm fine. Please be safe on the road. I have nothing else to say. I'm disconnecting now.]
[good. ]
"Everyone get up. The rain won't stop. Let's leave now while the rain is lighter," Wu Mingshi suggested.
"Row."
Everyone agreed that the wet clothes that had been hanging out to dry all night were finally dry. Everyone washed up, simply heated up some pancakes, had breakfast with the boiled rain water, and packed up their things.
……
We returned to the main road. It had rained all night and the road had become muddy. The ruts left by the wheels were very obvious.
"It must have been something heavy, to leave such a deep mark."
Lin Zhian lifted the curtain and sighed.
"Master, it's still raining outside, don't let the rain water drift in." Ading heard the voice behind him and suggested.
"Understood, I will pay attention."
"It should be a caravan escorting goods. I often encountered them when I was doing business before. Let's slow down and avoid a head-on confrontation with them." Lin Congjing responded.
"What do you mean? Could it be that the escorts are also doing the same business as the bandits?" Lin Zhian stuck his head out to look back and asked in confusion.
"It's hard to say. After all, not every caravan does legitimate business. People's minds are unpredictable. It's better not to meet them if you can." Lin Congjing has followed his father for many years and has a deep understanding of this.
"Okay, you know a lot, I'll listen to you." Lin Zhian asked Ading to slow down a bit. His car was in the front, and Lin Congjing was in the second. If the car in front slowed down, the cars behind would naturally slow down as well.
But no one said anything. After all, the road was not easy to walk on, so it was reasonable to slow down.

Hsinchu Village
Shen Shi
The sun is not so strong anymore.
"Sister, I also want to pick peppers." Xuanyu sat on the stool and said to Xuyuan with anticipation.
"No, you should take good care of your injuries and wait until you feel better."
“But I’m so bored staying at home alone.”
"How can I be bored? Just help me cut the mango strips. Then I'll have something to do, right?" Xu Zhi replied.
"Oh." Many curled their lips and said reluctantly.
Xu Yuan glanced at Manyu who seemed somewhat unhappy, curled his lips slightly, said nothing, and went out with the fruit.
The peppers in the field are ripe and it's time to pick them. The several sharp peppers and colorful peppers carefully cultivated in the vegetable garden have also successfully borne fruit, and the corn planted has also grown a lot taller.
Seeing the crops growing vigorously, making a wish gives me a sense of accomplishment.
Xuyuan plans to use these peppers to make some pickled peppers and chopped pepper sauce.
With these two kinds of ingredients, the recipes can be updated with many more varieties.
"Sister, are those plants in the vegetable garden also peppers?" Guozi asked, thinking of the strange-looking plants in the vegetable garden.
Their seedlings and roots look very similar to the large field of peppers in front of me, otherwise the fruits would almost eat the bright red colorful peppers into my mouth. When I first saw them, I thought my elder sister was planting fruits in the vegetable garden.
"Yes, they are all varieties of peppers. These are all finger peppers. There is one plant that has colorful fruits called the five-color pepper, and the rest are pointed peppers."
“It turns out there are different types of peppers.”
"Of course."
