Chapter 503: Chapter 502: Brothers are here, how can we let you suffer_1
“It’s almost night, there are some houses up ahead. Let’s spend the night there and continue on tomorrow,”

Lin Jinlong looked down from the hillside and unexpectedly found a few inhabited courtyards, chimneys spewing misty blue smoke, he couldn’t help but feel joyful.

“Agreed, let’s rest here for the night.”

Lin Jinyun nodded, “We’ve journeyed all day, our horses are tired, we can’t push them anymore.”

“Brother, those houses don’t look big.”

Lin Qingluo, sitting on her horse could see clearly, she felt a bit gloomy, “There’s a lot of us, they may not have the room to accommodate all of us.”

“Even if there’s no room, as long as you and Xuan’er have a place to sleep, it’s fine.”

Lin Jinlong didn’t care much about it, “For the rest of us brothers, any cave will do for the night.”

“The caves are too cold, my brothers may come down with a cold.”

The glimmer in Lin Qingluo’s eyes dimmed, a feeling of distress stirred within her, “If we were to spend the night in a cave, let’s all be together. At least with me around, I can make sure no one will get sick.”

“Qingluo, listen to your brother, you’re a delicate girl, you can’t stand what we can.”

Lin Jinlong’s handsome face darkened, feigning displeasure.

“Yeah, Qingluo, we won’t let you suffer while we can prevent it,”

Lin Jinyun also chimed in happily.

Lin Qingluo genuinely wished, “I hope those houses have large heated brick beds, so we all can fit.”

Unluckily, the boys, trudging through the snow, arrived at the farmhouse billowing with blue smoke.

After asking around, none of the families had extra rooms to spare for them.

The Lin brothers were disappointed and had no choice but to leave quietly.

Contrarily, Lin Qingluo felt a bit relieved, no need to separate from her brothers.

“Yin’er, it will be dark soon, ask the birds if there’s a suitable cave nearby for us to stay?”

“Okay.”

Little Kingfisher flew among the mountains, chirping loudly, and soon other birds gathered.

“Chirp, chirp, chirp.”

The birds had never seen the King of Beasts before, they excitedly circled around the divine beast, continuously chirping crisply.

“There is a cave not far ahead.”

Yin’er sounded a bit smug, the reply came quickly: “The distance from the farmhouse is just around 100 meters; Master, you can go straight ahead along the mountain road.”

Lin Qingluo was relieved, her clear and pleasant voice carrying an invigorating cheerfulness, “Brothers, Yin’er has found a cave, it’s not far ahead.”

“Really? That’s great.”

The Lin brothers simultaneously brightened their eyes, revealing surprise.

“Mm-hmm, it’s true, Yin’er’s news is always reliable.”

Lin Qingluo was happy, her eyes curved in a smile.

“Let’s go, let’s head to the cave.”

The brothers regained their confidence, leading their horses, stepping through the snow, and moved forward.

Little Kingfisher was as reliable as usual.

The cave was larger and more spacious than they had imagined. All eight of their horses entered, yet it didn’t feel cramped.

The brothers tethered the horses and distributed the tasks.

Wang Meng, Shitou, and Feng Yi were in charge of chopping firewood while the others collected stones for a fireplace.

Through their journey, they had grown used to the hardships of traveling in the wild outdoors.

The tasks were accomplished quickly.

In a short time, Wang Meng and the others returned, each carrying a bundle of firewood. Shitou had also collected a lot of dry branches and leaves.

The fireplace was ready, the large iron pot fit perfectly on top.

Mo Canglan was responsible for starting the fire. He had the dual attributes of fire and wood Spirit Roots, so igniting a fire with his spiritual power was a piece of cake.

Throughout their journey, he had been used as a convenient and reliable flint.

The firewood was ignited, Lin Qingluo took food from the Storage Ring and poured clean spring water into the pot.
