Chatting and cooking, Xiao Cai also gradually let down her guard, stepping out to call Xiao Rou, who was still outside, to fetch stools and the air-dried game. Since D-Day, they hadn't left their small piece of land, thus they were filled with curiosity about the outside world.
Lin Wu explained the situation he was aware of, including the disasters and changes brought by the floods, and the huge changes at the East Shelter.
In the course of the conversation, the glass noodles were nearly ready. During this time, Xiao Cai once again brought up her idea, hoping that Xiao Rou and the others would join them to live in the mountains. Building a house wasn't an issue for them.
