Chapter 308
Inside the cave, the flickering flames lit up the surroundings as the campfire crackled and popped.
A few people had hunted a wild deer, now roasting it over the fire.
Xu Ming and the others ate with great relish, their faces shiny with oil as they chatted casually, throwing out words here and there.
On the other side, Shi Xin softly chanted a Buddhist mantra, her eyes closed.
Unable to stop them from eating meat, Shi Xin could only close her eyes, seeking inner peace by not looking, and silently performing rites to help the soul of the deer move on.
Once Xu Ming and the others were full, they discussed and decided on the watch schedule.
Each group consisted of two people.
Xu Ming and Shi Xin were paired for the first watch, while the other four were split into two groups to take the middle and late watches.
At first glance, it seemed like a considerate arrangement for Xu Ming and Shi Xin since the first watch was typically the least tiring.
