Reborn 73 years later, he takes his mother-in-law hunting in the mountains.

Chapter 310 Trapped in a Cave

Lu Yao pulled Imana away from everyone's sight.

We walked up the hillside for a while.

Ask Imana: "Before the avalanche, how far away were your father and the others?"

Imana pointed to a rock in front of her that had a large section protruding from the snow:

"My father called that Dragon Peak Stone. It looks like a dragon with its head raised. Below it, there is a large cave. My father said he once spent the night here."

Lu Yao looked over and asked Imana with a puzzled expression:

"You mean... your father and the others took refuge in a cave during the avalanche?"

"I think so. My father said that if there's an avalanche, people can't outrun it. If you want to hide, you either have to be above the rocks that are going to avalanche, or find a cave in the opposite direction to hide in, making sure you don't get hurt first. Once the avalanche has passed, you can dig the snow out."

These hunters spend most of their time in the mountains, so they naturally have more skills than ordinary people to cope with the natural environment.

"Then let's go look around that rock."

Searching for people after an avalanche is pointless without a heat source detector; it's just a blind, haphazard search.

Fortunately, Imana remembered that Batu and the others were about the same distance away as this Dragon Peak Stone.

If even Imana remembers the cave here, then it's impossible for the old hunter Batu not to remember it.

This rock doesn't look very big from a distance, but when you get up close, it looks like a small mountain.

According to Imana, it was originally tens of meters tall, taller than the surrounding trees. But now it's only a dozen meters tall, mostly buried by the trees, with the exposed treetops looking like clumps of weeds.

This shows how deep the snow is.

Imana had never been up here before, so naturally she didn't know the location of the cave.

Lu Yao wandered around the large rock.

Suddenly, Imana behind her let out a scream.

Lu Yao turned around and saw that one of her feet was stuck in the snow and kept sinking.

Lu Yao quickly pounced over, lay down on the snow, and pulled her to the side.

But then I saw the snow falling continuously, forming a vortex.

It's impossible to regain control now.

Lu Yao quickly reached out and grabbed a tree branch. He paused briefly, but the branch broke, unable to support their combined weight.

Their bodies were instantly buried in snow.

In a few seconds, the body's downward fall changed into a gliding descent.

It stopped immediately.

Lu Yao crawled out of the snow, only to find himself in complete darkness.

He quickly searched everywhere for Imana and called out softly.

The snowdrift churned, and Imana emerged.

Fortunately, neither of them was injured.

Lu Yao understood during the descent that the snow blocks must have formed a support at the entrance of the cave below, but collapsed over time, causing the descent to continue.

If you look at it again after a moment's pause, you'll find yourself in a huge cavern.

The entrance to the cave was several meters high, but it was completely blocked by snow.

If you want to climb out from here, you'd have to dig through snow that's over ten meters thick.

Imana nervously held Lu Yao's hand:

"Tuwazi, can we go out?"

The snow is soft and the cave is spacious, so digging out shouldn't be too difficult.

It's just that without tools, it would be troublesome to do it by hand.

Lu Yao squeezed her hand to comfort her: "It's okay, don't rush out. Look inside and see if your father and the others are here too."

Upon hearing this, Imana immediately stopped being afraid.

Following Lu Yao, we walked into the cave.

The cave was large and deep, and the snow flow stopped blocking the entrance after flowing only a short distance.

As they walked further in, the space became increasingly spacious, much to Lu Yao's surprise.

The mountain's interior is almost hollow.

As the eyes gradually adapt to the darkness, the wonder and magnificence of nature's artistry become even more apparent.

The cave is over ten meters high and has many stalactites hanging upside down.

I wonder how many years of changes it took to form such a natural cave.

After walking several hundred meters, it not only seemed to have no end, but instead became wider and higher.

At that moment, a crack appeared in the mountain above, letting in light.

It resembles a giant palace.

If the mountain is hollow, then the cave must be more than ten miles in circumference.

Lu Yao used the dim light to search for any traces on the ground.

Finally, I saw some faint footprints.

We followed them for quite a while, but still couldn't see a single person.

Imana looked a little tired.

Lu Yao led her to a flat, dry place:

"Come on, take a break first."

Imana's stomach rumbled.

Lu Yao left in a hurry and didn't bring any food with him.

Seeing her weak appearance, he reached out and pulled her into his arms:

"Hang in there, maybe there will be food when we find your father."

"I'm not hungry."

As soon as he finished speaking, his stomach started growling again.

The two of them couldn't help but laugh.

Imana nestled in Lu Yao's arms without moving, putting her hands inside his clothes to warm them.

Although the little girl was hungry and cold, she still had a smile on her face.

They look very happy.

After breaking up with Lu Yao last time, she often dreamed of the boy who fought against a pack of wolves.

He was calmer than the warriors of his own people, and he was also so handsome.

I really want to see him again.

My dream has come true.

At this moment, all I want to do is hold him and move around, wishing time could stand still.

I rested for about ten minutes.

Lu Yao suddenly heard a rustling sound coming from the corner.

Looking at it, I couldn't help but feel a surge of joy.

He reached in and pulled out a dagger.

They asked Imana, "Would you dare eat the meat of a mountain rat?"

Imana was a little surprised; she had almost fallen asleep just now.

Before she could answer, Lu Yao suddenly pounced out.

When he sat back down, he was carrying a large rat weighing more than half a pound, with a knife stuck in his neck.

The mouse was still struggling, kicking its limbs.

Lu Yao was placed on the ground, his body was stepped on, and his head was cut off with a knife.

Then they gutted and removed the internal organs, their technique so skillful, as if they were handling a miniature rabbit.

Then he took out a match, lit it, and looked around.

There really were some withered grass inside the cave.

They withdrew a few rounds.

They lit it and used a dagger to roast the rat over the fire.

He handed the half-cooked food to Imana.

"Have some food to replenish your energy."

Imana felt nauseous just looking at it.

He shook his head: "I won't eat it, it's too ugly."

Lu Yao laughed and said, "Don't think about what it looks like, just think of it as rabbit meat."

"Aren't you going to eat?"

"I'm not eating, I'm not hungry."

To be honest, Lu Yao also felt disgusted.

Back when we were fighting jungle warfare abroad, we ate whatever we could catch—rats, frogs, snakes—we even ate earthworms.

But times have changed.

Decades later, people have become more particular about both Chinese and Western food, and no one wants to eat dead rats anymore.

Carefully cut the rat meat into small pieces and held them to Imana's mouth.

Imana was really starving.

I didn't eat when I was chasing after Morigen with my father.

After being captured by the militia, they chased after their clansmen in a frantic manner, having gone without food for nearly two days and one night.

At this moment, seeing Lu Yao hand over the meat, she gently opened her small mouth.

He took a bite of rat meat and chewed it slowly.

It's definitely much better if I stop thinking about the ugly appearance of the rat.

After eating half a mouse, I felt much better, as my stomach was full.

In the darkness, her big eyes blinked as she looked at Lu Yao.

Lu Yao carefully picked out the rat meat for her and fed it to her.

It is very delicate.

Imana suddenly pushed away the rat meat he offered and pounced on him, hugging his neck.

He kissed Lu Yao on the lips.

Ah!

Lu Yao was shocked and felt a little nauseous.

The pretty girl's lips were plump and comfortable, but he couldn't quite stand the smell of rat meat.
