While the water drummed, the group of people stayed by the cave hole and rested.
The mountain scenery was beautiful, and the evening breeze was gentle. The weather was so nice that it looked like paradise, but with many mosquitoes living in it.
The peak of mosquito activity was in the evening, and the area near the stream was full of them, so the people hanging around the mouth of the cave became their targets. They fell upon the prey, gorging themselves on blood.
Li Du and his men were exhausted. They just lay there and tried to ignore the bite because they were lazy to do anything.
Brother Wolf said in concern, "Firecracker, you go to get some dry wood and light a fire. The smoke will drive the mosquitoes away. Do not let them bite the boss."
Firecracker said, "Since you care about the boss, why don't you go yourself?"
Brother Wolf said impatiently, "I'm tired. Go!"
Firecracker cried, "But I'm even more tired!"
