The team reached the flat land by the shore, where everyone hurriedly found a patch of soft grass to start setting up camp.
Since it was just a temporary camping spot, they didn't erect tents, opting instead to lay out a tarp on the grass for everyone.
Huo Sining began allocating tasks, and in pairs, they set out to search for food, large stones, and dry firewood, leaving Luo Jinzhi and her to watch over the luggage.
Huo Sining instructed Luo Jinzhi to be in charge of fetching water for everyone at the shore and keeping an eye on the luggage, while she herself walked up along the riverbank alone.
The stream must have been formed from spring water flowing down from the mountains; the water wasn't very deep, and one could vaguely see the swimming fish through the clear, crisp water.
Huo Sining did not want to fish in front of Luo Jinzhi and raise suspicions, so she had to send everyone away.
