Chapter 34: Stars And Moon As Companions, Heaven And Earth As The Hut

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

The day passed in a flash.

Time passed quickly, but Cheng Ling and the others had done a lot of things.

Cheng Ling and Hong Guangyi worked together, and with Mu Sanniang’s help, they made two simple handcarts. Two horses each pulling a carriage could free up some manpower.

It was a pity that there were no iron bearings. A cart made of wood was not flexible and firm enough, and its shock-resistant ability was also lacking. In addition, time was tight, and the ceiling could not be built.

“How beautiful would it be if we could split into two angels on this day?” Third Aunt Mu said.

“Mother, can’t we just stop for one more day?” Cheng Ernii asked.

The resources on the mountain were actually relatively rich.

That day, although Cheng Ling was busy making the cart, she also did some other things in between her carpentry work.

For example, when she was cutting wood, there were snakes slithering around, and Cheng Ling caught two of them. Very good, the snake soup was here.

One could be used to make soup, and the other could be roasted and eaten on the road tomorrow.

Cheng Dani and Cheng Ernii brought the two children to dig up a lot of wild vegetables, and at the same time, they also gathered half a basket of Xiao Ji.

Cheng Ling then told them to wash and moisten these fruits, then place them on the rocks to dry.

Cheng Ling also found a large patch of honeysuckles on top of the cave. The honeysuckles could clear away heat and detoxify, cool blood and reduce swelling. They also had broad spectrum antibacterial effects.

The weather was hot today, and if she could bring honeysuckle along with her, she could burn and drink it often on the road, which could also prevent diseases.

In addition, there were also wild fruits on the mountain.

For example, the crow’s beak and the peach blossom maiden.

However, the crow’s nest was a fruit and wasn’t full. The crow’s nest on this mountain had not been optimized, so most of the ones that Cheng Dani and the others could pick were very sour. Occasionally, there were some sweet ones, but they were also the kind that were almost ripe.

The mommies were also berries, and they weren’t full. If one ate too much, they would easily suffer from constipation.

Therefore, although there were a lot of resources on the mountain, if one wanted to live a good life, they still had to return to society.

There were a lot of mosquitoes on the mountain. It was summer now, so if one stayed in the mountain at night, one would not feel the reclusive atmosphere of the stars and moon, the heaven and earth as shelter, and the green as friend. On the contrary, the humid air, the movement of insects and snakes, and even the cries of wild beasts in the depths of the mountain could be heard.

All of this made one feel frustrated and only felt the difficulty of survival.

Cheng Ling thought, “Maybe one day, when I don’t have to worry about survival anymore and have the mood to enjoy life, I’ll be able to sleep in the mountains again. I’ll probably be able to experience the fun of the mountains.”

Just like in her previous life, she found the convenient and modern city life boring, but she liked to carry her backpack and go hiking. She was alone, away from the secular world, and went to the wild to find the fun of nature.

Why else would there be a saying that people always yearn for things they can’t reach?

This was probably human nature?

At night, Cheng Ling took out her sleeping bag and waterproof mat.

In the innermost part of the shallow cave, Mu Sanniang, Cheng Dani, and Cheng Ernii lay on the waterproof mat. Cheng Ling unzipped the sleeping bag and used it as a blanket for them.

“Brother Ling, is this for the noble?” Cheng Ernii asked curiously. “Did you get this from Commander Kang who was killed?”

Before Cheng Ling could reply, Cheng Dani spat, “Bah! What noble? That’s an evil ghost!”

Cheng Ernii immediately stopped asking questions and curled herself up into a ball.

Tsk, who cares where she got it from, as long as it’s useful.

So what if it had been used by evil spirits? Even if it had been used by the king of hell, as long as it could make their days of escape slightly better, she, Cheng Ernii, would treat it as a treasure and cherish it.

Sanniang Mu wanted to pull Cheng Ling in to sleep, but Cheng Ling said, “I’ll go to the fire, it’s more comfortable to sit there.”

Hong Guangyi and Shi Hong were still sitting by the fire. Mu Sanniang opened her mouth and was about to ask Cheng Ling to stay away, but she remembered that cheng ling was a “man” now. What else could she care about on the road of escape?

In the end, Third Aunt Mu didn’t say anything.

She only beckoned to the two children, Hong Xiaolang and Lady Yun, and said, “Good children, come to Yingluo, Yingluo will take you to sleep.”

On one hand, it was out of kindness for the child, but on the other hand, it was also a bit deep. She was actually thinking, “Your child is with me. You can’t harm my child, right?”

Mu Sanniang didn’t dare to voice out her thoughts, only keeping them in her heart.

Shi Hong and Hong Guangyi were extremely grateful. They thanked Mu Sanniang repeatedly and urged the two children to hurry over.

In the middle of the night, Cheng Ling, Shi Hong, and Hong Guangyi sat in a triangular formation around the fire. They sat and sat, and in the end, Shi Hong couldn’t hold on any longer and fell asleep on Hong Guangyi’s shoulder.

Hong Guangyi put him down so that he could rest on his legs more comfortably.

After sleeping for four hours, Shi Hong woke up with a start. He sat up straight and asked Hong Guangyi to rest on his lap for a while.

Hong Guangyi was extremely tired. He unceremoniously laid on Shi Hong’s lap and said, “Brother Shi, you’re finally awake. My leg is numb from your sleep!”

“I’m ashamed, I’m ashamed. Brother Hong, please have a good sleep.” Shi Hong hurriedly smiled apologetically.

Hong Guangyi laughed and turned to look at Cheng Ling.

He saw Cheng Ling sitting upright on the other side of the fire. She closed her eyes slightly and kept her hands in her dantian. Her posture was cold, as if there was a layer of light in the night.

At first, Hong Guangyi was worried that Cheng Ling wouldn’t be able to sleep well, so he thought about asking her to come over and share a pillow with her.

But when he looked up, he suddenly felt that if he really invited her, it would be like… blaspheming Brother Cheng.

Uh, no, no.

Hong Guangyi’s thoughts suddenly changed. He thought that Cheng Ling was a very mysterious person. It was impossible that she couldn’t take care of herself. He shouldn’t be a busybody.

With that thought, Hong Guangyi fell asleep peacefully.

He didn’t want to disturb Cheng Ling, which was the right thing to do.

Cheng Ling was in a very wonderful state.

Earlier, she had done her routine of standing on the taiji stance again. However, there was no moonlight in the second half of the night, so she did not manage to collect any moonlight essence.

However, even though she was unable to absorb any new energy, the benefits of standing still existed.

After completing her stance, Cheng Ling felt refreshed. The Yin and Yang Qi in her body were harmonious and active, and they circulated around each other. She vaguely felt like her sense of them had deepened.

Later, when they sat by the fire, Cheng Ling used the breathing method mentioned in the book Grandpa Mu left behind.

She had used this book to fool Mu Sanniang before. Now that she was sitting by the fire, she decided to use the breathing technique Grandpa Mu had left behind to pass the time.

She didn’t expect to be surprised by this practice.
