Chapter 150: Siege_1

Jiang Sanlang and his party hadn't returned yet, dozens of young and able men had gone with him to cut bamboo and make arrows.

Some were in the woods collecting firewood and searching for water sources, ferrying the purified water up the mountain in bamboo pipes and pots.

By this point, the sky was bright, and the adults and children in the cave were starting to wake up.

Chaos ensued once again as many people anxiously tried to make their way down the mountain, especially the women, for they had to relieve themselves below the mountain.

But the narrow and winding path made it impossible to quickly descend, leaving many people all atwitter.

Upon seeing this, several older women set up a simple latrine at a cliff-facing corner of the cave entrance using bamboo poles and old hemp cloth, solving everyone's need to relieve themselves.

The next hurdle was finding drinking water, an even more daunting task than relieving themselves.
