She also needed to find something to do, so she practiced calligraphy. Although she couldn't persist for long, it could help her calm her mind for a short time.

Everyone is immersed in what they are doing.

"boom……"

Shen Xing in the yard hurried over and picked up the pot lid.

Several people in the room heard the sound.

As soon as Shen Li left the house, he was blown by the wind, and his mouth was filled with wind: "Third brother, what's going on?"

"The wind blew the lid off."

I've been here for so long, but this seems to be the first time that the wind is so strong.

"I think there may be strong winds this time, and it may rain heavily. Let's pack up our things quickly." Liu Dahua said.

Several people moved all the kitchen items, including tables and chairs, into the room where the distillation equipment was placed, and also moved things from the yard in.

The sky gradually darkened and the wind grew stronger. After a while, a dazzling white light streaked across the sky, followed by a loud "boom" and thunder.

Shen Li and Liu Dahua stood by the window in the house, looking at the weather outside. It seemed that it would rain soon.

It looks like there will be a big thunderstorm.

Shen Li felt that the thatched house was about to collapse: "Mom, in this kind of weather, can our house hold up?"

"I don't know. Since we moved here, there hasn't been such a strong wind, but it has rained for several days in a row. The house is leaking at most. When the rain stops, we can fix it."

Shen Li was a little worried about her equipment, so she called Shen Liang and Shen Xing over.

"Second brother, third brother, do you think our house can withstand such a strong wind? Will it be blown away?"

Shen Liang looked outside with some worry: "The situation is not very optimistic."

"I think it's a bit risky." Shen Xing said.

Her equipment was made with great difficulty. It was her livelihood, so nothing could go wrong. "Then I'll dismantle the equipment, and we'll pack up the valuable things that are afraid of getting wet, and then cover it with something."

"Okay, let's take precautions." Shen Liang agreed.

"Second brother, do we have no oilcloth at home?" Shen Li asked.

"Ah."

"What's that thing covered with?"

"A Li, go to Erya's house and see if she is there?" Liu Dahua said.

"I'll go right away."

Braving the strong wind, Shen Li went to Li Erya's house.

"Sister Erya, do you have any unused oilcloth at home? You know my house, I need to cover the things that are afraid of getting wet."

"No, there was one originally, but my father used it to cover the roof because the house was leaking. Ah Li, I'm afraid your house is not in good condition. Why don't you and your family come to my house?"

"Forget it, Erya sister. Your house is leaking, and there are probably limited places to sleep. Most importantly, Daya sister is here too, so it's really inconvenient for my brother and the others to come here. You don't have to worry about me. If it doesn't work out, we can just go to grandma's house."

"But your grandma..." Li Erya didn't finish her worried words.

"Even if she doesn't like me, she won't really reject us because I have two brothers around."

"That's right. After all, you are all members of the Shen family. You can't just sit there and do nothing."

"Okay, in this weather, you should take care of your family. I'm going back first."

"and many more."

Shen Li turned around: "Uncle Li."

"Girl, wait a moment. I'll take the tarpaulin off the house for you."

"No, no, Uncle Li, I'll go look somewhere else."

"Wait." After saying that, Li the hunter went up to the roof and took down the oilcloth.

Shen Li breathed a sigh of relief when he saw him come down safely, but he was a little embarrassed to take the oilcloth: "Uncle Li, if you take this down, won't the house leak?"

"It's okay. The wind is so strong that it may not be able to cover it. It may be blown away. It's better to give it to you. Besides, whether you use the tarp or not, the house will still leak. Girl, if it doesn't leak, you and your family can come here to hide, but the current situation, sigh..."

"It's okay, Uncle Li. I'm just embarrassed to take away the tarpaulin you used to cover the roof."

"This is not a big deal. You saved my life. This is a big deal."

"Uncle Li, Sister Erya and I are good friends, don't worry about it. I'll go back first."

"Did you borrow it?" Liu Dahua asked.

"Well, this piece of roof was taken down by Uncle Li. Mom, Sister Erya also asked us to go to her house."

"It's better not to. Her family is not doing well. It's inconvenient now that Daya is back. Don't cause trouble for her."

Shen Li nodded: "Yes, I know, mother, let's cover the things quickly."

All household items, such as quilts, clothes, pots and pans, rice, flour, oil, and supplies and equipment for making ointments, were piled on the beds in the brothers' rooms, then covered with oilcloth and weighed down with stones and wood.

Just as they finished cleaning up, it started raining outside.

The rain was not heavy at first, but after a while, it started to get heavier.

Although it was already night, it was impossible to sleep in this weather. Shen Li hoped that the wind and rain would stop soon. The days had just gotten better, and she didn't want her home to be ruined by the heavy rain.

The more you worry about something, the more it will come.

Suddenly there was a strong wind that blew the roof off. Shen Li was startled. Rain quickly fell from the sky without a roof. Soon, the whole house was soaked.

She and Liu Dahahua went to Shen Liang's house.

We found that their house was leaking badly in some places. Although the roof was still there, there were several big holes and the house was wet.

"Brother, the roof of our room was blown away."

"The wind is really too strong. We can't stay in this house anymore."

"Let's find a place to hide." Shen Xing said.

"In this weather, I guess most houses in the village will have leaks." Shen Liang said.

"Yeah, where can we hide?" Shen Li asked.

Liu Dahua hesitated, but still said, "Let's go to your grandma's house."

"Yes, we lived there before, and it never leaked." Shen Xing said happily.

"Nonsense, that's a brick house, how could it leak?" Shen Liang was speechless.

"Mom, I made grandma so angry before, will she let us in?" Shen Li didn't think too much, she really felt that Grandma Shen might not let them in so easily. What she said to Li Erya before was to comfort her and she didn't want to make her worry.

After Shen Li finished speaking, everyone fell silent.

Finally, it was Liu Dahua who spoke up: "No matter what, you are her grandchildren, so you shouldn't be so heartless. At most, you can apologize first. The important thing is to get through this difficulty."

As they spoke, they arrived at Old Lady Shen's house despite the strong wind and heavy rain.

Shen Xing knocked on the door.

The gate of her house is as tall as a person, and the courtyard wall is made of rubble, which is unique in the village.

"Who is it?"

Shen Li listened to the voice and seemed to have no impression of it.

"Her third aunt, she's from my second brother's family. Our house is leaking, so she wanted to come to my house to take shelter." Liu Dahua said politely.
