The Su family was at the front of the group, and the Zhou Lizheng family was at the end. It was Zhou Lizheng who took the initiative to walk at the end.

Su Zhihao has also left the team and went to explore the way ahead.

The faces of the group of people at this moment were completely different from before. Now everyone was wearing ragged and dirty clothes, and it was almost impossible to recognize their original appearance.

Su Yuanyuan's face was also smeared by her mother. She was originally a person with very fair skin. Although she had been traveling these days, she had always been very vain and paid attention to sun protection. She always wore a homemade veil, so she didn't get tanned. Now she couldn't wear the veil for fear of attracting attention, and she didn't care whether she got tanned or not.

Su Yuanyuan looked at Su Guoguo and Su Miaomiao, who were walking beside her with painted faces, and couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Zhou Huilan looked at her silly girl and thought: How can this child be so careless!

Su Guoguo and Su Miaomiao couldn't help but laugh when they saw their sister smiling silly with her big clown face.

The adults felt a little relieved when they saw the silly-smiling children.

We walked until it was completely dark, without any rest in between.

After the team stopped, no one started cooking, at most they just boiled some hot water to drink.

Everyone packed up and went to sleep, leaving someone to keep watch.

Although they had not been hungry in the past few days, and had eaten their fill before going on the journey, they had been traveling for so many days after all, and it would be a lie to say that they were not tired. But there was no other way, no matter how tired they were, they had to keep going. They were already very satisfied, at least they had not been robbed, and they were well prepared before going on the journey, otherwise they would probably be hungry now.

Su Yuanyuan, who was in a laughing mood during the day, couldn't laugh at this moment. She was so tired that she didn't want to talk at all.

The next day, I set out on the road again and met someone on the road.

Everyone remembered what Su Anton said, ignored others, and hurried on their way.

After walking for a few days, gradually, there were more and more people on the road, and they were getting more and more embarrassed. However, they looked like a group of people who were not easy to mess with, so no one took the initiative to mess with them, so they lived in peace.

That day, Mrs. Su walked up to Su Anton and whispered, "Anton, it's going to rain, and it's going to rain heavily."

When Su An Dong heard this, he quickly asked, "Mom, when will it rain?"

Old Lady Su replied, "I predicted it would be two days from now. Yesterday, I predicted no rain in the next few days! But today I predicted it would rain. The weather changes so suddenly."

"Okay! It hasn't rained for so long, so let it rain! It's been so dry over there this year, and if it gets even dryer here, life will be even more unbearable."

Mrs. Su also thought that rain was a good thing, but it was too heavy to travel. Mrs. Su expressed her concerns: "It's going to be a rainstorm. We can't travel any further in such heavy rain. We have to find a place to shelter from the rain. We can't just stand there and get soaked!"

Su An Dong said, "We must find a place to take shelter from the rain. In this wilderness, we can only find a cave to take shelter from the rain. Tomorrow, while we are on the road, Zhihao and I will look for a suitable place for us to take shelter from the rain. Once we find one, we won't leave. We have been walking for such a long time, we might as well stop and take a rest."

Old Mrs. Su nodded in agreement.

The next day, Su Zhihao went out to explore the way again, and Su Anton followed him.

The two were thinking of finding a larger cave, or a few caves that were closer together, so that they could accommodate all of them.

After searching for a while, I didn't find the cave, but I found a thatched house at the foot of the mountain. There was no one inside, and it looked like a place where hunters stayed temporarily while hunting.

The thatched house was not big and could not accommodate so many people. We did not gain much on this day.

On the second day, the father and son went deeper into the mountain to search, and finally found two caves that were relatively close to each other in the evening. Both caves were very deep and could accommodate everyone.

The father and son noted the route and went down the mountain to reunite with everyone else.

When the father and son returned to the team, everyone had already had dinner.

Zhou Huilan was relieved to see the father and son return safely, and said to Su Antong: "If you two don't come back, I will go looking for you." After that, she gave the father and son the food she had left for them.

In fact, Zhou Huilan had just spoken to Su An Dong through the megaphone, telling him the location of the team and some of the marks left behind. But she was still worried until she saw the father and son actually return to the team.

Su Anton told Old Mrs. Su about finding the cave. After knowing it, Old Mrs. Su felt relieved.

The next morning, Su Anton did not tell anyone about the rain. On such a sunny day, he felt that he was crazy to tell others that it would rain this afternoon. Su Anton just deliberately slowed down the journey.

The cave was actually on the mountain ahead, but if you walked at full speed for a whole morning, you would have reached it.

Although Su Anton pretended to be uncomfortable and asked everyone to stop and rest for a while, and extended the rest time at noon, they still passed the place where they went up the mountain to the cave.

In the afternoon, the sky gradually turned overcast, and the experienced old men in the team saw that it was going to rain.

The sky was gloomy, and Su Anton had something to say.

Su An Dong said to everyone, "It looks like it's going to rain. We can't wait until it rains to find a place to shelter, or it will be too late. When Zhi Hao was exploring the way, he found two caves on the nearby mountains, not far from here. Let's go to these caves tonight and spend the night! We won't continue on our journey. If it rains, we have a place to shelter. If it doesn't rain, we can just take a rest today."

As everyone watched the sky grow increasingly gloomy and fearful of rain, no one objected to what Su Anton said.

The group of people went up the mountain in a mighty procession. Fortunately, the cave was located halfway up the mountain.

When they arrived at the cave, Su An Dong simply divided which families lived in each cave. After knowing where they lived, each family got busy.

Su Anton led everyone to collect firewood and carry it to the cave. He thought that they should prepare more firewood since it was not raining yet.

Half an hour later, the sky became increasingly gloomy and dark.

Su An Dong asked everyone to build two sheds to shelter the animals from the rain. Mats and other things were ready. Everyone looked at the sky and knew that it would rain. They were also worried that the animals would get wet, so they all helped.

Two simple sheds were built against the stone wall not far from the cave. Before the sheds were built, raindrops began to fall from the sky, getting heavier and heavier, and the people who built the sheds still got wet.

Fortunately, there is strength in numbers, and it was quickly built.

A fire had been lit in the cave, and those who had been caught in the rain went inside the cave, surrounded themselves with curtains, and changed into dry clothes.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and it was already smoking, and the sky was completely dark. Everyone looked at the heavy rain outside by the light of the fire, and they were very glad that they listened to Su Anton's words and came to the cave to take shelter from the rain.
