Card: I Rebuild Five Thousand Years of Chinese Civilization in Another World

Chapter 420 The Special Cave

One of the children said, "If the barrier breaks, we'll retreat to a cave in the back of the mountain, where the monsters can't get in."

Jie Yuwei was a little puzzled. What kind of cave would prevent magical beasts from getting close?
She used her divine sense to probe the back mountain, but found nothing.

"Grandpa! Grandpa! Come out and see! We've brought back lots of rabbits!"

As the children called out, several unsteady figures gradually appeared at the village entrance.

"Little Ya, Little Wu! Come back quickly!"

The old man shouted with difficulty towards the village entrance.

When Xie Yuwei got closer, she noticed that the elderly people were dressed in thin clothes, unlike the children who had temperature control cards attached to their bodies.

“This is…” An old man looked at Xie Yuwei in surprise.

The child named Xiao Wu excitedly walked up to the old man and introduced Xie Yuwei: "Grandpa, his name is Lin Yu. He wants to stay overnight in our village. These rabbits are his payment to us."

The old man looked at the children and saw that each of them had several rabbits hanging on their bodies.

"The village is simple. If you don't mind, please come in with us!" the old man invited Xie Yuwei gratefully.

Xie Yuwei smiled gently: "It would be good to have a place to stay."

As she followed the children into the village, she saw the elderly, women, and children peeking out from various corners one after another.

They were all dressed in thin clothes and shivering from the cold in the heavy snow.

The children led Xie Yuwei to their ancestral hall. Some moved stools, some gathered firewood, and some killed a rabbit. Everyone got busy.

The old man walked up to Xie Yuwei and said apologetically, "This is the only place in the village where you can stay. Please bear with us, guest!"

Jie Yuwei had already used her divine sense to survey the surroundings, and this was indeed the most suitable place to entertain guests.

The other houses were simple and cramped, with a group of people huddled together for warmth.

"You're too kind, sir. It's me who has troubled you."

She looked at the group of busy children: "Why do they have temperature control cards, but their family members don't?"

Through her divine sense, she saw the villagers hiding in their houses, trembling with fear.

The old man rubbed his hands together, breathing out cold air: "Sigh, the temperature control card is expensive, and people can't afford to spend so much money to buy it."

A family can buy a maximum of two temperature control cards. One of them has already been taken out hunting by the children's parents, and the rest are left to the children.

The children brought firewood, and the old man, trembling, lit the fire and said, "However, things are better now than before. The Celestial Maiden Card Maker created the Constant Temperature Card, and this card has brought hope to the people of the Northern Plains."

Xie Yuwei never imagined that this card could bring hope to the people of Beiyuan.

When she made this card, she simply wanted to wear fewer clothes in winter and keep her younger siblings warm in the cold.

After giving the card to the Card Hall, she no longer cared about its aftermath.

She quietly took out a stack of temperature control cards and handed them to the old man: "I have some cards here, please take them and distribute them to the villagers!"

The old man was shocked to see Xie Yuwei throw out a stack of cards so easily, and he waved his hands repeatedly in astonishment.

"No, no, this is too much!"

He had never seen so many cards before. How much would this cost?

There aren't that many temperature control cards in the whole village combined.

Jie Yuwei activated a thermostat and attached it to the old man's body. The old man immediately stopped feeling cold and straightened his hunched back.

"Grandpa, please take this! Consider it my donation to the village. If you really feel bad about it, could you tell me about the situation in the mountains behind your village?"

She came to this place because she received some cryptic information from Fu Zhifeng. Zhuang Liangcai of the Extraterrestrial Nebula Pavilion seems to be in seclusion in the snowy Northern Plains.

She is not currently sure of the exact location.

The children had previously mentioned that the cave behind their mountain could protect them from monsters.

Regardless of whether there was anything special about the back mountain, she wanted to investigate any place that seemed a little unusual.

She killed so many people from beyond the realm; if Zhuang Liangcai were to emerge from seclusion, he would definitely come to intercept and kill her.

Rather than letting him come to us, we should kill him before he comes out of seclusion.

The old man was unaware of Xie Yuwei's intentions. For the sake of the villagers, he shamefully accepted the card Xie Yuwei offered.

"Then I'll shamelessly accept these cards!"

"The only special thing about the back mountain is that cave."

With the thermostat attached to his body, he was no longer afraid of the cold. He stood up and said to Xie Yuwei, "It's not too late yet, and killing the rabbit will take some time. Let me take you to see it now!"

After saying that, he called out to someone not far away, "Xiao Wu!"

"Grandpa! We're here!" Xiao Wu ran to the old man's side.

The old man handed a stack of temperature control cards to Xiao Wu and said, "These are temperature control cards given to us by our benefactor. Your mother and the villagers are freezing. Please distribute these cards!"

When Xiao Wu saw the temperature control card in the old man's hand, he excitedly shouted, "So many temperature control cards!"

Upon hearing about the constant temperature card, the busy children all gathered around.

"They really are temperature control cards! So many temperature control cards!"

"With the temperature control card, my grandpa can get through this winter!"

The old man looked at the children with loving eyes and said, "Take the temperature control card back!"

Xiao Wu took the thermostat card and ran off.

“My benefactor! I’ll take you to the back mountain!” The old man turned to Xie Yuwei and said.

Xie Yuwei nodded, looking at Xiao Wu who had run out: "With so many cards, aren't you afraid the villagers will scramble for them if you just hand them over to Xiao Wu?"

A seven or eight-year-old child cannot resist the greed of adults.

The old man smiled with relief: "I am the village chief, and the villagers still have some respect for me."

"Don't worry, my benefactor, Xiao Wu will get things done!"

Seeing his words, Xie Yuwei didn't say anything more and followed him to the back mountain.

The village wasn't far from the back mountain, and even though the old man walked with difficulty, it didn't take him long to reach the cave the children had mentioned.

The old man said to Xie Yuwei, "This cave isn't big; it can only fit the village children."

"We don't know what's hidden inside the cave. There's an invisible barrier at the entrance, so no matter how powerful the magical beasts are, they can't get into the cave."

Xie Yuwei looked at the unremarkable cave entrance: "Didn't you go inside to investigate?"

The old man led Xie Yuwei into the cave: "We've checked, and there seems to be a barrier deep inside the cave. With our abilities, we can't see anything unusual."

Unable to find anything, and with no danger in the cave, the villagers eventually stopped taking the matter seriously.

However, when monsters attack a village and the village's barrier can no longer maintain its defense, they will send the village's children here to escape the monsters' attacks.
