Everyone moved the chestnut back to the cave without much rest, and then went out to find food. It was rainy in late autumn and it was dark early. In order to avoid encountering danger, everyone stopped work before it got dark, but they didn't work for a long time.

When they went back to the cave, Hu San'er and the others had already returned.

The cave has been cleaned up by the women. It is much cleaner than when everyone first came to the cave. The weeds in the cave were all pulled out, and the pots and pans were cleaned and placed neatly, large and small pots.

All are used to put the water outside the hole.

As for the two teams leaving the cave, Zhao Qian's group found chestnuts, persimmons, wild hazelnuts, and some wild vegetables. Wild hazelnuts look like a net of dried small tree vines.

They can't fill the stomach. They are at best as snacks. They are eaten after all.

And the old man Li said that it has the effect of curing fever, so he also put these small ones.

The things are picked back.

Hu San'er and his group peeled a lot of palm skins and picked up a lot of broken firewood. 

All the things brought back from the cave were soggy and had to be baked dry.

Especially palm hulls need to be dried and woven into mats. When the men came back from the outside, they were already drenched.

All these delicate tasks were handed over to the women and the little buddies in the cave.

The men who went out were tired, but because they were tired, they forgot the pain of losing their loved ones and the worry of being alone on the top of the mountain. Looking at the materials piled up in the cave, they couldn't help feeling a little bit of accomplishment.

Zhao Qian ran into the dark cave again to change his clothes, and walked around in the cave barefoot.

Brother Zhou took his wet clothes to the opening of the hole and wrung out, while saying. "Brother Zhao, you should be careful not to get stuck in your feet by chestnut thorns. It's not good to get your hands last time."

"It doesn't matter."

He left. Going to sit down by the fire, the men were drinking hot water to warm themselves up, and when he saw him coming, Hu San'er handed a bowl to him.

At this time, a bunch of men only had one set of clothes. When they went out, they wore thinner clothes, so they put thicker coats in the cave.

Several people could only be shirtless, and the clothes were taken off and dried.

It seemed that he was particular.

Hu San'er dropped a fist on his shoulder and said with a smile.

"Zhao Qian , you change your clothes and run inside to change, what's shameful?" 

He said, he went to pull his clothes again.

"Let me see, are you physically weak like a little brother."

Everyone burst into laughter.

Zhao Qian slapped Hu San'er away.

"What have you seen? Come on, sleep next to me tonight, let you see it!"

Hu San'er touched his nose. "I really didn't see it. It's hard to compare with you."

The busy women in the cave didn't bother a group of men talking about meaty jokes, and the little girls didn't even dare to listen.
