The three members of the Qin family had been gone for quite a long time this trip, not returning until the afternoon, but everyone was already familiar with them. Since the Qin family members were skilled hunters, everyone assumed they went hunting and didn't think much of it because of their prolonged absence.
Third Grandpa saw that everyone had been hiding in the cave for most of the day without hearing any disturbances outside, so he felt it was safe. He led a few of the men out of the cave in search of food and water nearby.
Third Grandma stayed behind to clean up the cave again with the women from a few families.
They planned to stay here tonight, and with the weather turning cold, they needed to lay several layers of dry grass in the cave to sleep on to prevent getting sick from the cold.
Luo Wu, Gu Jin'an, and Tian Erqiang were wandering near the cave to prevent other refugees from finding the place.
