Chapter 65: A Cave Full of Snakeskin
"What can we do?"
Meng Shaode murmured to himself after a long time.
This happened so suddenly that he didn't know how to explain it to the Wu brothers, and if the carriage couldn't be used, how could they leave the old Wu family here.
Ah Jiu also knew that Dad was very worried at the moment.
On the contrary, Cai Lihua muttered: "This is not simple yet, we just won't leave here for the time being."
"Jiu'er, come here, let's see how mother turns watermelon into dry food."
He called Ah Jiu to admire her sword skills.
Meng Shaode left the kitchen in confusion and saw Wu Dalei removing his eagle feathers.
"Brother Meng, I see that your feather arrows are made of pheasant feathers. Can you say eagle feathers?"
Wu Dalei smiled happily with his mouth wide open.
But Meng Shaode couldn't laugh: "Eagle feathers are not easy to use."
"Brother Meng? Are you...have something on your mind?" Wu Dalei could see that Brother Meng was completely helpless, as if he had lost his soul.
These words confused Meng Shaode. What should he say?
"Ahem." Meng Shaode cleared his throat and squatted down, pulling the eagle feather intentionally or unintentionally:
"Brother Wu, I think I'd better tell you something. I'm afraid the carriage thing will be out of the question."
"Ah?" Wu Dalei stopped laughing all of a sudden and looked at Brother Meng blankly:
"Why... why?"
Although he knew that the carriage was originally a luxury for him, but his hope was suddenly shattered, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.
Meng Shaode didn't hide anything and explained the matter clearly.
"I don't look at that child. He's smiling all day long. He was teasing my baby yesterday."
As soon as Wu Dalei said this, Meng Shaode waved his hands tiredly:
"You know people but don't know their hearts. If we really collude with gangsters, wouldn't we be throwing ourselves into a trap? No one wants to fall into a pit of fire."
Wu Dalei let out a long sigh.
Suddenly he raised his eyes and said with a dry smile: "Brother Meng, you have also tried your best to consider me as a brother. Then do as I originally said, then you..."
Wu Dalei paused, gritted his teeth and said, "You and your family should leave now. Brother, I am lucky to have known an upright person like my eldest brother for three lifetimes."
"Actually, it's not necessarily that we can't go together." Ah Jiu came out of the kitchen.
It's hard enough for her father to value friendship so much. If it had been left in the past, he wouldn't have cared about other people's lives.
"Do you have a good idea?" Meng Shaode and Wu Dalei's eyes lit up.
"The best we can do is not set off on time. Even if he waits, he won't be able to wait there forever if he can't wait for us. As for us taking Aunt Wu and Grandma Wu with us afterwards, this will be easy to handle."
Ah Jiu smiled confidently.
"Eh, that makes sense." Meng Shaode's eyes lit up and he suddenly smiled innocently:
"My daughter has a brilliant mind."
Wu Dalei smiled from ear to ear.
"Actually, it was Grandma who reminded me." Ah Jiu thought about it. If he didn't stop for one day, he could climb the three mountains in one day at most.
With such a close route, you definitely shouldn’t give up easily and choose a detour.
Therefore, plus Cai Lihua asked to stay for a few days because she wanted to make dry food from watermelons and peaches, wouldn't it be just in time to avoid the carriage that Kai Bayan asked the bandits to prepare.
"But the most important thing is that we can't live here anymore. We have to move somewhere. If the second master comes with someone again, we won't be as lucky as the first time."
Wu Dalei added.
"Uncle Wu is right."
Ah Jiu agreed.
"By the way, brother, when we went up the mountain last night, didn't we just find a cave? It was quite big." Meng Shaode recalled.
"Is that a cave full of snake skins?" Wu Dalei's eyes widened.
Neither of the brothers dared to enter the cave, so they discovered that there were many snake skins at the entrance, some of which were weathered, but judging from their size, the largest ones were as thick as the mouth of a bowl.
Who dares to enter that cave?
