Chapter 216: Gone.
Hua Chengtian instinctively wanted to refuse, but seeing the child’s clothes already soaked and the child’s resolute eyes, he could only compromise.
"If you want to help, then help. Besides, there’s not much work left. Later, we’ll add another layer of mud and put up a door for safety. It should be enough, and essentially there’s nothing to fear."

The elders worked quickly. The fourth child and his sister took on the task of moving stones, while the second brother of the Hua family went to help father build the walls.
The elder of the Hua family, his wife, and the daughter-in-law were inside the cave doing more detailed organizing, adjusting the position of the things they brought, and then using oilcloth to completely wrap the shelves for storing grain.
Last night was too rushed and we only tidied up roughly. Even the beds were just the pre-made bed boards laid simply on the ground as they rested for the night. Now, the elder of the Hua family was carefully adding legs to each bed in the tents.
With the help of the children, Hua Chengtian finally enclosed the rocks outside the cave with stones, and to prevent seepage, the inner layer was covered with a thick layer of mud.
Whether living in the big cave or residing in the small caves, all the people of Hua Village spent the entire day maximizing their efforts to make their temporary spaces comfortable.

After being cooped up in the cave for a day and a night, someone finally couldn’t resist stepping out of the cave.
