Chapter 31
"Old man, what are you doing?" Mrs. Qin was taken aback, and stretched out her hand to pat off the old man's hand covering her precious granddaughter's eyes.

"No, there is a strong light on the mountain just now, I'm not afraid of shining bright eyes, okay, I'll take her up, you all go back."

Knowing her old man's temper, Mrs. Qin complained a few words, and handed the packed package to old man Qin.

"If your grandson is not feeling well, you should send her back quickly, don't hold on."

"Okay, okay, what are you nagging about, old woman?" Old man Qin was afraid that other people would find Jiaojiao's strange behavior, so he didn't care to say more, picked up his granddaughter and left, letting the village chief next to him who was planning to persuade him The line did not have a chance to speak.

Qin Jiao was very obedient, and asked her to lie on her grandfather's back obediently, and she just lay on her stomach obediently, hugging her grandfather's neck and saying nothing.

The others looked at them worriedly from time to time, and after realizing that the child was not delicate at all, they felt a little more relaxed.

"Xiao Jiaojiao, why do you have to go out with your grandfather? You can't eat well or sleep well outside, and there are many mosquitoes and poisonous snakes."

"It's okay, I'm not afraid." Qin Jiao said in a childlike voice, "I asked Second Mistress for a sachet, which can keep away insects."

Around the little girl's neck was a simple and exquisite purse, which contained broken medicinal materials, a sachet made by Second Grandma Qin herself.

"That's good, you can't cry when you reach the mountain."

"No way." Qin Jiao tilted her head and smiled, "I don't cry at home."

"Why did I hear people say you were crying yesterday?"

Qin Jiao opened her mouth and couldn't speak. After a while, she pouts her mouth and defends softly: "That's not crying, it's that the eyes are raining."

Hearing this, everyone who walked together laughed. This kid is so cute, and his eyes are raining!
Talking and laughing along the way, we arrived at the hunter's lodge before dark.Taking advantage of the daylight and still being able to see it, I hurriedly tidied up the inside and outside, spread out the bedding, let Qin Jiao play on the big bed, and the others started to work.

To start a fire, to find a water source, and to clean up the poisonous insects and snakes around, there are only three or five of them with a baby, so it is difficult to even eat at night if they move slowly.

Make a fire, take out the tied torch and light it, and smoke the inside and outside of the house. This is the best way to drive away poisonous insects, ants and other small insects.After finishing this, sprinkle the medicinal powder on the front and back of the house to prevent insects and snakes from re-entering the wooden house at night.

There are two and a half cabins here.That half is used to store prey.There is a row of wooden wedges under the eaves, on which the prepared prey are hung to ventilate and deodorize.

Five people had to take turns arranging the vigil.The night watchman did not sleep in the wooden house, but in the tree house next to a big tree.

When they cleaned, they didn't miss the tree house.

There is a rope ladder in the tree house, the younger ones climb up first, and the rope ladder is lowered to make it easier for others to go up and down. The old and young like Qin and Qin Jiao naturally don't need to take turns to watch the night.

The next morning, Qin Jiao woke up in the fresh air after a good night's sleep.Old man Qin and the others have already started to work.

Although they came here to transfer contacts, they are also responsible for patrolling the surrounding situation.Early in the morning, the two uncles drank hot soup and ate some steamed buns and started working.Old man Qin and another old man used local materials and made more than a dozen torches.

Qin Shi, who was in charge of watching the mountain, poked his head from the tree house: "Master, I saw someone on the south side of the mountain, and there was a lot of movement. It should be the comrade from Soushan."

Old man Qin climbed up the rope ladder and watched for a while.

"There should be nothing suspicious over there. I think the most important thing is the east side of the old village. There are many ravines there. Who knows if there will be another hole connecting it."

After the geologists came over, they knew what kind of karst landform this mountain belongs to. It is not uncommon to have caves in the mountains. Now they don't know the size, depth and length of the caves.

Thinking back now, why those people chose that location to set up their village, maybe they came for the cave in the mountain.

"Brother, I went back and talked with my brothers and nephews. Why don't the people in Qinjiagou know that there is something under this mountain, and their outsiders know?"

"It's not necessarily that we don't know. The ancestors must have known, otherwise they wouldn't have left their ancestors' instructions and we were not allowed to leave Qinjiagou. But the information left by our ancestors is too little. After so many years, more and more people know the inside story. Few, but those people outside have specifically inquired about it, so they may know something from somewhere.”

Qin Shi, who was sitting in the tree house and listening to their chat, interjected while observing the surrounding situation.

"I heard from my old man that he heard from his grandfather that our Qin family guards the tomb, isn't it, sir?"

"Why don't I know?" The old man Qin glared at Qin Shi, "There are many ancestors' tombs here in Qinjiagou, but I don't know about the others. This is a poor place. Which high-ranking official wants to bury the ancestor's grave here? Is it pure heart?"

"You can't say that. If the mountains and rivers are really poor, then why did the ancestors have to settle here?"

What Qin Shi said was also reasonable, the old man Qin couldn't refute for a while, his old face was darker than carbon.

Seeing that the old man Qin was upset, Qin Shi shrank his shoulders and hid in the tree house, not daring to interrupt again.

The old man Qin was depressed, and his hands moved a little harder, when he heard his granddaughter's milky cry from beside him.

"Why did you drop Xiao Jiaojiao?"

"Grandpa, I want to pee pee."

She is too young, so it is easy for her to throw herself into the grass nest, and she has to be carried by her grandfather.

When she finished her convenience and pulled up her little pants to ask Grandpa to carry them back, she suddenly turned her head and looked in a certain direction, and a strange light flashed in her eyes again.

"Grandpa, I'm going over there."

After being picked up by old man Qin, she didn't want to go back to the wooden house, but pointed in a direction to urge old man Qin to go.

"What's over there?"

"Yes, there is a baby." Qin Jiao didn't know how to describe it, and finally could only spit out two words that meant a lot.

Old man Qin thought about it, and told her that he had to go back, and he had to bring the wooden sticks for exploring the way, as well as some dry food and water.

Qin Jiao thought for a while and nodded in agreement, but her small body turned away unconsciously, staring at the place she inexplicably wanted to approach, reluctant to blink.

The other two heard old man Qin say that he was going out to explore, and immediately stopped him, but old man Qin was also famous for his stubbornness, and no one could speak well when Mrs. Qin was away. Jiao left.

"Oh, that's what's wrong with my uncle, he's too stubborn." Qin Shi slid down and sighed as old man Qin disappeared into the grass with Qin Jiao.

"Although your uncle has a stubborn temper, he has a sense of proportion. Forget it, you'd better do your job well. When your cousin and the others come back, you can change with him."

Not to mention how worried these relatives were, the old man Qin took Jiaojiao to the place she said for half an hour, and finally saw some unusual traces.
