The eldest daughter of the peasant family just wants to start a career

Chapter 64 Stocking Up
The next day, Mu Zhixu was patrolling around the cave as usual, and she noticed a string of footprints not far from the line where the animal repelling powder was sprinkled.

This footprint is obviously not human, it looks like a dog's footprint in the shape of a plum blossom, but there can be no dogs in this deep mountain and old forest.

It seemed that a ferocious beast had come by last night, but it was not known whether it was a wolf or a tiger.

Mu Zhixu was a little annoyed.

These days she was too relaxed, she slept soundly at night, and she didn't even notice the danger outside the cave.

But fortunately, these footprints should be only one wolf, not a pack of wolves, and the animal repellent powder also played its role.

As long as you don't leave the range of the cave, you should be fine.

After Mu Zhixu returned to the cave, he once again told Li Sanniang, Mu Zhilan, Mu Zhiliu and Chen Zhi not to go out casually.

Seeing Mu Zhixu's serious look, several people nodded one after another.

Li Sanniang and the others couldn't leave the cave, and the tasks of finding firewood and watering all fell on Mu Zhixu.

Mu Zhixu had a weapon, and he carried a pack of animal repelling powder on him, which was considered multi-layered protection.

When she went out again, she was much more cautious than before. The beast-repelling powder actually exudes a pungent and unpleasant smell that only beasts can smell.

But if this group of wolves or the hungry wolves are angered, they don't care so much, they only think about killing their prey.

Mu Zhixu piled a lot of firewood into the cave again and again. With these firewood, it is enough to stay in the cave for ten days and a half months without saving money.

"Zhixu, why are you hoarding so much firewood?"

Li Sanniang saw that the originally small cave was occupied by a small half of the space, and the originally small space became more crowded.

She asked a little strangely, firewood is everywhere around here, the most indispensable thing in this mountain forest is firewood, is it necessary to stock up so much?
"It's always right to stock up more." Mu Zhixu didn't explain.

Li Sanniang nodded, that's true, there is nothing wrong with hoarding more things.

There is so much firewood in the cave, there is no need to go out to cut it every day.

A few days passed like this, and Mu Zhixu would go to the cliff to see the situation below almost every day.

That cliff is also near this cave. Compared with the cliff where we stayed before, the scene inside and outside the city gate at the foot of the mountain is not very clear from this place.

But now it can be used in special circumstances.

For several days in a row, more and more people gathered at the foot of the mountain, especially at the front gate of the city, which was blocked like a hornet's nest and could not be squeezed out.

But the strange thing is that in the past, there were often scenes of fighting and grabbing food at the gate of the city.

Looking at it now, people almost stay together in twos and threes, not talking.

Mu Zhixu didn't know what they were thinking.

But most of the time, their heads were all looking towards the city gate in unison. Sometimes they looked at the closed city gate, and sometimes they stared at the soldiers guarding the city gate.

Their cheeks were thin, their faces were like ghosts, and the way they kept staring at one place was terrifying.

There is no noise, no emotional outbursts, only endless silence.

Do not erupt in silence or die in silence.

Another day, Mu Zhixu came to the cliff as before, staring at the city gate.

Unexpectedly, it was discovered that the originally quiet refugees started to move, and they seemed to be holding something in their hands under the wide placket, so they couldn't see clearly.

The refugees gathered together in groups, whether they were old people or men, and they didn't know what they were plotting.
