the so-called rock cave was actually just two huge rocks leaning against each other in a triangular shape, leaving a large space in the middle, just enough for two people to lie down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wufu chopped some branches to cover the crack in the middle, while Liu Jin gathered dry grass and leaves to spread on the ground, topped with a thin cloth, which served as their campsite.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In addition, for safety, Wufi sprinkled a circle of sulfur powder around the campsite to prevent snakes from getting too close to them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While it was still light, they collected a large pile of firewood and dry branches to place at the entrance of the rock cave for burning a bonfire to keep warm at night, which could also help ward off wild animals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the campsite ready and daylight not yet faded, Wufu said, “Let’s go, see if luck is on our side.”She strapped on a bow and arrow, with a firewood cutting knife stuck behind her waist, while Liu Jin carried a long spear that Wufu had made for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The spearhead was forged at the Blacksmith Shop in town and had not yet been stained with the blood of animals or humans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The shaft was made of a bamboo stick, making such a spear ideal for hunting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Jin cautiously followed in Wufu’s footsteps, his eyes vigilantly scanning the surroundings, ready to cling to Wufu’s back at even the slightest rustle of the wind through the grass.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wufu noticed this and couldn’t help but find it amusing;
