Chapter 86 It’s raining
If it rains for several days at a time, it will really be the end of the world.
If you can't make a fire, you can't cook! You will be hungry by then.
Just as Lin Jiue was thinking hard, Gu Chengyan spoke.
"Look, what's over there?"
Lin Jiuyue looked in the direction of Gu Chengyan's finger and saw Gu Chengyan's eyes falling on a big rock.
The stone is not big, only about the size of a small table, but the surface of the stone is fairly flat. If it can be moved under a tarpaulin to hide from the rain, cooking on the stone will definitely not be a problem.
However, even if he can set up a pot and light a fire, this person will only be able to stand on the mud.
Even so, Lin Jiuyue was a little eager to give it a try.
"Gu Chengyan, Qiye, you two use your hoes to dig out a drainage ditch around the oilcloth. It doesn't need to be too wide. Just dig out the part covered by the oilcloth. I'll go and move the stone over."
After Lin Jiuyue finished speaking, he ran directly to the stone, picked up the stone and ran back.
After placing the stones under the tarpaulin, Lin Jiuyue did not rest and started digging drainage ditches with Lin Qiye and Gu Chengyan.
The three of them were not weak people. In a short time, a drainage ditch surrounded by tarpaulin was dug.
The water that had spread over was now gone.
Lin Jiuyue was satisfied when he saw this.
Although the soil on the ground is still a little wet, at least there is no water left.
In addition, there is some grass on the ground, so your feet will not be stained with too much soil.
"Okay, this way, as long as there is no flood, we will have no problem cooking."
Afraid that the firewood would get wet due to too much rain, Lin Jiuyue decided to start lighting a fire for cooking now. And more needs to be done. Even if the firewood gets wet by then, the three of us will not be hungry.
The three of them worked together and quickly put the pots on the racks and took out the grain from the mule cart. After the rice was cooked, some dried meat was taken out and mixed with dried vegetables and stir-fried.
After getting the food ready, Lin Jiuyue left enough food for three people for one day, and prepared the remaining food for later consumption.
It's raining heavily and it's impossible to travel today.
Lin Jiuyue and the others looked at the heavy rain outside the tarpaulin. Suddenly I felt that rain was not a good thing.
At least for me now, it's not a good thing.
"Hey, when will this rain stop?"
Lin Qiye sighed.
The three of them were hiding under the tarpaulin. They were not protected from the rain, but it was not very convenient to sleep!
You can't sleep on the wet grass, right?
It is possible to sleep on the mule cart, but there are still some supplies on it, and the mule cart is not big, so only one person can lie down.
"Qiye, you go to the mule cart and sleep for a while, and the three of us will sleep together."
It is impossible not to sleep. If there are no conditions, then create conditions.
Lin Qiye looked at the mule cart.
"Then there's something else on the mule cart..."
Lin Jiuyue slapped Lin Qiye on the head.
"If there's something, there's something. You can't crush it anyway."
"No, I'm afraid it will hurt my body."
Lin Jiuyue was speechless.
"You still picked it? In this situation, I'm lucky to have a place for you to lie down. Don't be ungrateful."
Lin Qiye glanced at Gu Chengyan with some resentment.
If it weren't for Gu Chengyan's presence, he and his sister would probably have fallen asleep in the space right now. Where is the need to sleep in a mule cart?
"Ok."
The three of them tidied up the mule cart to make sure that it would not be too uncomfortable and that the materials on the mule cart would not be damaged. Lin Qiye then lay down and fell asleep.
"I don't know where the village chief and the others are now. Have they found a place to take shelter from the rain?"
Lin Jiuyue murmured to himself.
The village chief and his family were quite nice. After getting to know each other, Lin Jiuyue still hoped that the village chief and the others could reach their destination safely.
"I don't know, it's useless to think so much. We can't protect ourselves now."
Time flies, one day has passed, but the rain has not stopped.
The water on the ground is getting deeper and deeper.
Lin Jiuyue looked at the ground where he could hardly stand, and his mood became irritable.
This is despite the fact that the drought has lasted for so long. If there had been no drought before, I would probably not be able to do anything now.
"When will this rain stop? If it continues like this, floods will happen again as soon as the drought ends."
Lin Jiuyue and the three of them were fine in the mountains. The terrain was relatively high and there wasn't too much water.
At the foot of the mountains, or even in the city, the water is probably above the ankles now, right?
In this era, the drainage system in the city is not as good as it was in the 21st century, and flooding is prone to occur when it rains. I don’t know what the situation is in the city now.
Just as Lin Jiuyue and others thought, the water in the city is now up to the ankles. Those in the city did not expect that it would rain all day long. Some people are already worried.
The people who were fleeing the famine were even worse, as they didn't even have a place to hide from the rain. Some people even stayed in the rain all day. Not only were they soaked to the skin, some people had already started to have a fever.
Another day passed and the rain finally subsided. Lin Jiuyue happily started cooking and eating, planning to continue on the road when the rain stopped.
Who knew that although the rain had become lighter, it never stopped.
Although it was not as violent as before, the drizzle kept falling, and there was no way to rush on.
"Let's cook the food first, and as soon as the rain stops, we'll be on our way."
Gu Chengyan said while setting the pot.
It has been raining for two days and the temperature has dropped rapidly. The originally hot weather suddenly became chilly.
Lin Jiuyue had to dig out the clothes he had prepared before and add them to the three of them.
"Fortunately, I was smart enough to buy a little bit of everything, otherwise we would probably be sad now."
After we finished eating, the rain slowly stopped.
The three of them hurriedly packed their things and hurried on their way.
Without the villagers dragging them behind, Lin Jiuyue and the other three moved very quickly. Before dark, we finally found a cave.
"Let's rest here tonight. We'll continue our journey tomorrow morning."
It rained for two days, so Lin Jiuyue and the others stayed for two days. After finally encountering a cave, Lin Jiuyue decided to take a good rest before rushing on.
During the two rainy days, the three of them hid under the tarp and failed to have a good meal. Now that he finally found a cave, Lin Jiuyue planned to make something good to reward his Five Zang Temple!
After dinner, Lin Jiuyue took out a quilt and spread it on the ground, and the three of them fell asleep on the ground.
midnight. Lin Jiuyue suddenly felt the temperature drop suddenly. I instantly had a bad feeling in my heart.
Tighten your clothes. Lin Jiuyue sat up. Added a little more firewood to the still-extinguished fire.
At this moment, Gu Chengyan also woke up.
