In the evening, the sun sets and the afterglow casts a golden glow.

Everyone quickly packed their bags and prepared to set off.

Unlike before, they decided not to stay in the inn, but to rush through the night without taking a break, heading straight to their next destination - Xihuan City.

However, the weather did not seem to be good.

On the third day of the journey, bursts of deafening thunder resounded through the sky, as if foreshadowing the coming of a heavy rain.

At this time, Tianyang was driving the carriage. He looked up at the sky and saw that it was getting darker and darker. He couldn't help but look worried: "Miss, I'm afraid we won't be able to get to Xihuan City in time before we encounter this rainstorm."

Hua Xin gently lifted the car curtain and looked out.

Sure enough, there were dark clouds overhead, and occasionally a few dazzling flashes of lightning streaked across the sky.

She knew very well that once the rain started, it would be heavy. But she did not show any panic, instead she said calmly, "It's okay. If it really rains later, we can just take shelter in the carriage."

Then she turned to Nangong Ziqiu beside her and said, "Ziqiu, go over and tell the carriage behind to speed up."

Upon hearing the sound, Nangong Ziqiu immediately flew out and quickly came to the second carriage.

Tianyue was the one driving the carriage. When he saw the visitor, he immediately asked, "Master Nangong, does the young lady have any instructions?"

"It's going to rain soon. Xinxin said we should walk faster. If there is a village ahead, we will find a place to take shelter. If not, I'm afraid we will have to stay in the carriage."

"Got it." Tianyue responded, and saw Nangong Ziqiu going to pass the message to the back again.

From a distance, I saw three carriages lined up in a row.

Among them, the last carriage was filled with various luggage items.

Since Bai Zhu was responsible for driving, he was slightly stunned when he saw Nangong Ziqiu walking towards him.

"Bai Shu, you take a rest first, I'll drive." Nangong Ziqiu said as he reached out to take the reins from Bai Shu's hand and quickly waved the whip to drive the horse to speed up.

Seeing this, Bai Zhu did not refuse, but sat down next to Nangong Ziqiu silently.

He looked up at the sky, only to see dark clouds covering it. The sky was becoming increasingly gloomy, and his mood also became a little heavy.

"Miss, do you have any instructions?" Bai Zhu couldn't help but ask.

Nangong Ziqiu turned to look at Bai Shu and explained, "Xinxin feels that the rain may start soon, so she wants to hurry on her way to see if she can find a place to hide from the rain. If she can't find one, then we will have to stay in the carriage for the time being."

After hearing this, Bai Zhu looked back and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, they prepared a lot of rainproof items in advance in case of emergency.

Then, he said to Nangong Ziqiu, "Let's let Tianyang and Tianyue take shelter from the rain in my car! After all, the space here is relatively large and can accommodate more people."

"Well, this arrangement is indeed more appropriate. After all, we have three carriages available, which should be able to cope with the current situation. I hope the rain will not be too heavy..." Nangong Ziqiu looked into the distance worriedly, praying secretly that the weather would clear up as soon as possible.

However, the weather in March is always unpredictable. There is a chill in the wind, and the temperature begins to drop, making people feel a chill.

In comparison, my own physical condition was pretty good, but compared to the people I was traveling with, I was afraid that Mo Chuli was the weakest.

Fortunately, with Hua Xin by his side, all these difficulties seem to be easily solved.

After persisting for about an hour, everyone was walking through a small woods when suddenly, bean-sized raindrops began to fall like beads that had broken off a string, hitting the top of the carriage heavily, making a crisp and loud "crackling" sound, just like it was raining beans.

"Tianyang, come into the carriage quickly!" Hua Xin shouted.

"Miss, don't worry, I can hold on for a while." Tianyang responded.

At this moment, the rain had just started to fall. They were in the woods, with no villages or shops to take shelter in front or behind. Tianyang thought it would be best to find a place that could shelter from the wind and rain.

Mo Chuli quickly took out the raincoat that he had prepared long ago and handed it to Tianyang outside the car: "Tianyang, put this on!"

"Thank you for your concern, young master." Tianyang took the raincoat with tears of gratitude and put on the hat. After putting them on, even though the raindrops fell heavily on his body, he was not affected too much.

Immediately afterwards, Tianyue, who was behind, also took a straw raincoat from Baishen and followed closely behind the carriage driven by Tianyang.

Bai Shu also moved quickly. Seeing that the carriage in front had no intention of stopping, he went into the carriage to look for the raincoat and handed it to Nangong Ziqiu, saying, "Mr. Nangong, put it on quickly."

Nangong Ziqiu looked at the increasingly heavy rain and thought that it would be good if one less person got wet in the rain.

So he took the raincoat handed to him by Bai Zhu and said, "Okay, get into the carriage first to avoid the rain!"

Bai Zhu knew very well that he couldn't cause trouble to everyone at this moment, so after getting into the carriage obediently, he sat quietly in the corner.

As the sound of raindrops hitting the car came from outside, Bai Zhu actually felt a little sleepy.

After all, driving a carriage really consumes a lot of physical strength. Since he was injured, Bai Zhu obviously felt that his physical strength was not as good as before. This is definitely not a good sign.

Although he knew some martial arts skills, he was still far inferior to Nangong Ziqiu.

Thinking of this, Bai Zhu secretly made up his mind that if he had any free time along the way, he would go all out to recuperate and restore his energy, and must not become a burden to the team.

While thinking this in his mind, Bai Zhu fell into a deep sleep without realizing it.

"Miss, look ahead, there seems to be a temple there! Why don't we go over there quickly to take shelter from the rain?" Tianyang pointed to a place not far ahead. Through the dense rain, the outline of a building could be vaguely seen.

"Temple?" Hua Xin's heart moved when he heard it, and he quickly reached out, lifted the curtain of the car and looked out.

Sure enough, there was indeed a temple ahead.

But this temple looks very dilapidated, as if it may collapse at any time under the ravages of a storm.

"Go! The rain is getting heavier."

When Tianyang heard Hua Xin say this, he didn't care whether there was anyone in the temple, and drove the carriage straight into the temple.

Seeing this, the two carriages following behind also sped up and caught up, and quickly stopped aside.

After all the vehicles stopped, Tianyang and Tianyue jumped off the carriage first, rushed into the temple and searched carefully. After confirming that there was no one else inside, they waved to Hua Xin and others to enter.
