Awesome! My best friend traveled through time and space and became the infrastructure queen

Chapter 185 Cave

Previously, those refugees and a small number of villagers from Tieniu Village were all in the cave in the back mountain.

Su Chengnan didn't want to go empty-handed, so he asked someone to find Su Linhua and get two bags of coarse grain. They were all Su family grain, and the Beiling Army's rations were stored separately from these.

However, although it was called the Su family's food, in fact, the food was all in their space. The food that the Su family had prepared before had long been eaten up on the road. Even if they found a way to replenish some supplies on the road, the food they ate was far more than the supplies.

Su Chengnan has been waiting for a suitable opportunity to allow the things in the space to pass through smoothly.

But now it's freezing cold and opportunities are not easy to find.

"Miss Su."

She stopped when she heard the voice and turned around to see that it was Sun Liangyuan. She quickly bowed and said, "Mr. Sun."

Sun Liangyuan laughed and said, "Where are you going?"

"I'm going to go to the back mountain to check on the people. It's freezing cold out here, and I'll feel at ease if I go."

"I'll go with you." Sun Liangyuan said.

"Sir, the road is slippery and it might be difficult to walk on." She hesitated.

"It's okay. If a little girl like you dares to go out, why should I be afraid? Let's go."

"Well then," Su Chengnan raised his hand and made a gesture of invitation, "Sir, please."

"Yeah." Sun Liangyuan was originally a good friend of Su Weimin, and now he was teaching the children of the Su family. Su Chengnan was a junior in front of him, so he didn't hesitate and walked forward.

Su Chengnan gave Bingsan a look, and he quickly moved closer and listened carefully to her instructions.

"Are there any extra staff?"

"Yes, shall I go and call a few more brothers to follow me?"

"Well, Mr. Sun is so important."

"Okay, Miss, you guys go ahead. I'll go arrange some personnel and will be back soon."

"it is good."

The two men walked on the thick snow, bypassed the back house, and walked step by step towards the hidden cave in the back mountain.

The cave is surrounded by dense trees and it would be difficult to find it unless you are familiar with the terrain.

Although Sun Liangyuan was old, his steps were still steady. He walked and praised: "Miss Su, at this time, you can still think of these people. It's really rare."

Su Chengnan smiled slightly and replied, "Mr. Sun, you are too kind. This is what I should do. General Li and the Crown Prince are busy with the war, so I will do what I can."

"Your family are all good kids. Old Su can rest assured in his grave."

The two of them walked and talked, and soon they reached the cave entrance. Bing San also brought his men and quickly followed.

"Cough-cough-"

"This damn snow is so cold, it's really hard to find food! The food they sent yesterday wasn't enough for everyone to share, and I don't know if there will be any left today."

"There's a war going on outside. We're lucky to be alive. We can't worry about it too much! We can't cause more trouble."

"What's the point of adding to the trouble? I can't starve myself to death. I won't wait any longer. I'm going out to look for a bamboo rat nest. I have to get something to eat to warm myself up."

Coughing and whispering could be heard from inside, and Su Chengnan's heart couldn't help but tighten. She walked quickly into the cave and distributed the coarse grains in her hand to the ragged people.

"Thank you, miss!"

"We knew someone would come today."

"Thank you for remembering us!"

Some people wiped away tears with emotion.

Others are asking.

"Are you all okay outside? Have the enemy retreated? Can we get out now?"

"This place is too crowded. There are so many of us, it's really hard to get by. We're hungry and cold. When will it end?"

Su Chengnan looked at the crowded situation in the cave. Even the fire couldn't be lit more times. There were only three fires to maintain the temperature. He felt uncomfortable, but there was nothing he could do due to the current situation. It would be safer to stay here than at the foot of the mountain.

If the enemy really broke through, they would have a great chance of escaping by climbing into the mountains.

"You've all been here, so this shouldn't be your first time fighting. It's hard to predict what's going on on this battlefield, but the Beiling Army is very powerful. They won't surrender! They'll definitely guard this checkpoint and protect us!"

"Yes! That's what the young lady said!"

"But if any of you would like to help, you can tell me. There are many things to do, and I will always find something you can do."

As her voice fell, the cave became silent.

Su Chengnan wasn't annoyed. There were many people in the world, and not everyone had the courage to go to the battlefield. That was nothing. Just like everyone was born with different goals in mind.

She smiled and said, "It's okay. Even if I'm in a cave, I can still do something for them."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Some people who are embarrassed ask, "What can we do here?"

"Please help me make some ropes. If you have the tools, please help me carve some wooden arrows."

"Okay, okay, we can do these things! Let's do it!"

"Thank you very much, everyone. The war is intense and we may not be able to come every day. We are a team, so let's help each other."

"no problem."

Several children sat around the fire in the cave, their eyes flashing with desire for warmth.

Su Chengnan walked over and took out some candy from his pocket and gave it to them. They showed innocent smiles on their faces, but then became timid and didn't dare to reach out to take it.

She asked softly, "If you want to eat it, you must eat it immediately. If you miss the opportunity, it will be gone. You won't give others a chance to snatch your things."

Most of the children seemed to understand and looked confused. Only a little boy about eight or nine years old understood what she said. He reached out and took a candy, opened the candy wrapper, and put it in his mouth.

"what's your name?"

"Han Xing."

"Nice name. Where's your family?"

"They are all dead. They are my uncle and aunt's brothers and sisters."

"If you want to protect them, the burden on you is not light. Are you afraid?"

"I'm not afraid!"

"Okay! Can you write your own name?"

"Are you willing to teach me? If you teach me, I will learn!" Han Xing looked straight at Su Chengnan and said this almost without thinking.

Su Chengnan smiled. She picked up a slightly longer stick from the fire and used the blackened end to write the two characters "Han Xing" on the ground. Then she wrote another sentence.

She said, "If everyone wants to learn, you can try writing together."

Sun Liangyuan took a step forward, took a closer look, and suddenly burst into laughter: "May our family, country, and the world be safe and sound."

"Wonderful, wonderful!"

Han Xing repeated it, then knelt down on the ground and kowtowed three times to Su Chengnan.

"Master, I kowtow to you! Thank you for your teachings, Han Xing will definitely keep them in mind."
