'Couldn't find a suitably large cave. This'll have to do!'
In the early morning, the mountains were covered in frost. After searching for a long while, Li Xiang finally found a decent enough "rock crevice" that could barely pass for a cave. It was located halfway up the mountain. Getting there from his house required crossing about two mountain peaks. It was a bit far, but this mountain had relatively few graves, so digging a tunnel here, and expanding it later, wouldn't disturb the eternal rest of the ancestors.
The crevice was over two meters high but only fifty to sixty centimeters at its widest. The interior was filled with jagged rocks, making it impossible for a person to squeeze through. A few small animals were hiding inside, and upon seeing Li Xiang's arrival, they all scrambled to flee. Among them were two fat rabbits.
