Chapter 202: 202. Cave"Don’t worry, go ahead," Hua Chengtian nodded.
With Erhui and the others following, along with weapons, Hua Chengtian wasn’t too worried about his son; the skills practiced these days hadn’t gone to waste.
Besides, apart from sparse vegetation and bare rocks everywhere, there really wasn’t much to attract wild beasts anyway.
They split into two groups, with Hua Chengtian taking his daughter in another direction to
Hua Chengtian also scooped some water and, unable to resist, drank directly from it.
"Dad..." Jin’er called out disapprovingly, looking at her father, "Drinking raw water is not good."
Hua Chengtian grinned at his daughter, "It’s fine, I just wanted to taste it. Daughter, this water is nice, with a faint sweetness, it’s drinkable."
"Even if it’s drinkable, boil it first, or you’ll get diarrhea."
Hua Chengtian chuckled twice, clearly not taking his daughter’s words to heart. From childhood, he drank plenty of raw water whenever he was thirsty and nothing had ever happened.
But he didn’t argue, knowing she was just worried for him.
Jin’er also knew her warning went unheeded, but she thought that saying it a few more times might make him remember in future.
Having found the cave and water, both father and daughter were very pleased. With the biggest problem solved, they continued their search for more.
This place had both water and space, but it wasn’t suitable for their family.
Jin’er’s memories of the dream became clearer here, and her steps grew lighter as she headed towards the cave they would live in, as seen in her dream.
"Slow down, Jin’er," Hua Chengtian said, intending to look around more carefully, but his daughter’s quick pace left him no choice but to follow closely.
"Dad, hurry up, I remember the place we lived in my dream."
"Really?" Hua Chengtian couldn’t help but feel joyful. "Then let’s not wait any longer, hurry!"
Soon they stopped by a thick pine tree. "Dad, it’s here," Jin’er pointed under the largest rock shelter in front of the pine.
The rock extended greatly, with the tallest part barely reaching a child’s height from the ground.
Hua Chengtian was very satisfied with just this rock; it was the best shelter, and there would be no fear of rain.
Then, in familiar fashion, he lit a torch and went inside.
Perhaps due to the sparse vegetation, animals didn’t like this place. The cave was somewhat dark, but other than that, there were no other creatures, though poisonous insects and snakes were unavoidable.
The space inside pleased Hua Chengtian, not too big or small, perfectly accommodating his whole family. Even livestock and poultry wouldn’t be a concern.
The cave wasn’t far from the Big Cave either, just a short walk away, leaving Hua Chengtian very happy about the location.
With a bit of work, the outside rocks could provide additional space.
"Dad, how is it?" Jin’er asked proudly, looking at her father.
"Impressive, my daughter is truly amazing, this place is great," Hua Chengtian praised without reservation.
"Of course, we’ll move most of the grain into this cave beforehand."
"Right," Hua Chengtian agreed with his daughter’s idea.
The grain in plain sight at home was too much; waiting until it rained to move it would be too difficult, so it was better to transfer it ahead of time like ants moving house.
