Everyone sat down by the fire, a total of 9 people. The young woman suggested: "Why don't everyone introduce themselves first? After all, we are now going through this together and need to rely on each other's efforts. My name is Liu Shuangshuang, I'm 25 years old, working in finance at a company in Kun City, and often participate in outdoor activities. Although the current situation is quite difficult, don't give up hope. In my experience, we still have a great chance of getting out."

  The atmosphere seemed to have become more lively because of what this woman said.

  "Yes." Another young man with a low voice said, "We all survived the disaster, we'll definitely get out of here." He smiled and said: "My name is Zhou Wei, 28 years old, working in Shanghai as a programmer." Liu Shuang gave him a faint smile.

  Next are Yan Yuan and Zhu Jihui, Feng Yan and Chen Ruying.

  Tan Jiao said: "My name is Tan Jiao, I live in Dali City, and I am a freelancer."

  I said: "Wu Ou, also lives in Dali..." I paused, seeing Chen Ruying and others looking at me, remembering that it was still a year ago, changed my words to: "studying for a master's degree in Beijing."

  The last one to introduce himself was a tall and thin man, wearing glasses and a black suit, always with his head down, saying: "My name is Zhu Yutong, working in Kun City, interior designer."

  Liu Shuangshuang said, "Just now we saw that this cave is still very deep and don't know where it will lead to. But as long as we keep following the direction of the underground water, maybe we can find a place close to the surface."

  Everyone has no objection.

  Liu Shuangshuang said, "We were brought down by the flood and have been busy for so long, we are all very tired. Now it's already past midnight. I suggest we rest here for one or two hours to recover our strength, then continue to look for a way out and food."

  Everyone scattered around the bonfire and lay down to rest. I found a relatively flat spot next to a rock wall, sat down with Tan Jiao. At this time, I saw Chen Ruyin supporting Feng Yan, walking among the stones on the ground, so I said to Tan Jiao: "I'll go help them." Tan Jiao: "Oh."

  There were many of us, and the terrain was uneven, making it difficult to find a suitable location. The two of them were weak and couldn't be too far away from the fire pit. I looked around and said to Feng Yan, "Master's wife, come here." Then I moved all the nearby stones and threw them aside. They stood beside me watching, and after a while Chen Ruyin said, "A Yu, let me help you."

  I was taken aback and looked up to see her smiling face, completely unaware of what had just happened. I didn't say anything, just said: "You stand still, I'll do it."

  "Are you cold?" Chen Ruying asked again.

  My T-shirt is on Feng Yan's leg. At this moment, I'm shirtless. Upon hearing the words, I slightly turned my body, only showing my back to the two women and said calmly: "I'm not cold."

  It was quickly cleared up, and I said: "Master's wife, the conditions here are relatively poor. Let's just rest for a while to recover our strength, and then we can continue looking for an exit." Feng Yan is a straightforward woman, nodded. Chen Ruying, however, said: "A Yu, do you want to rest with us here?" I didn't expect her to say that, felt a bit surprised and annoyed, directly saying: "I'm going back to my girlfriend's place."

  When I returned to the rock wall, Tan Jiao was already lying on the ground with her back to me. In the cold and damp cave, her figure looked so small. I lay down behind her, stretched out my hand and wrapped my arms around her. She then buried her face in my chest, and neither of us spoke for a while.

  At first, everyone made a rustling sound, but later they all fell silent. I was exhausted, but couldn't sleep.
