Shen Jinyao didn't expect to see people from the Shen family at the foot of the mountain.

The visitors were Zhixue and Zhixin.

Shen Jinyao quickly agreed: "It's me."

Shen Zhixue and Zhixin waved their hands quickly. The water under their feet was now above their knees and almost up to their waists.

Thinking back to when they first started climbing the mountain, there was no water here.

Now the rain has reached my waist.

Shen Zhixue and Zhixin were stunned when they saw Shen Jinyao towing several boats behind her.

How come my sister can get everything?

When she got closer, Shen Jinyao realized that they were Zhixue and Zhixin.

Shen Jinyao moored the boat at the foot of the mountain and asked Zhixin and Zhixue to get on board to talk.

Zhixin said, "Sister, you are finally back."

From his trembling voice, one could tell he was worried about Shen Jinyao.

Yes, it took Shen Jinyao nearly two months to go back and forth.

It would be fine if the weather wasn't so bad, but the rain was getting heavier and heavier.

In the cave, besides feeling a bit stuffy, I was always worried that the cave would collapse.

How could they not worry about Shen Jinyao?

So half a month ago, the younger ones agreed to send two people to the foot of the mountain every day to wait for Shen Jinyao.

By the way, observe the situation at the foot of the mountain.

They waited for half a month, and today it was Zhixue and Zhixin's turn.

Zhixue looked at Shen Jinyao and found that she was not injured except for a minor bruise, so he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He said, "Sister, where do these boats come from?"

Shen Jinyao: "I traded this for a carriage. By the way, how are you all doing?"

Shen Jinyao knew that Shen Zhixue was not easy to fool, so she quickly changed the subject.

Zhixue nodded and said, "Everyone is fine, but they are worried about you."

Zhixin said, "But in recent days, there have been landslides and flash floods nearby."

Shen Jinyao nodded, fortunately it was still in time.

She looked at the sky and it was about to get dark.

Shen Jinyao said, "We can't wait any longer. We have to set off now. The water level ahead is still rising, and it will rise even higher after we pass the fork in the road."

"But once we reached the southernmost mountain, the road became easier to walk on, and it even stopped raining."

When Shen Zhixue and Shen Zhixin heard this, they were instantly filled with hope for the future.

This kind of rain has been falling since they arrived, giving them the illusion that it is raining all over Kyushu.

It turns out there are places where it doesn’t rain on sunny days.

Shen Zhixue: "Sister, what should we do with these boats?"

Shen Jinyao said, "You two will guard the boats here. I've tied them together with chains. If anyone approaches, drive them away."

"If you can't drive them away, use the weapons in your hands to finish them off."

Shen Zhixue and Shen Zhixin are no longer the ignorant young men they were when they first left the Shen family.

The two of them were not afraid at all and nodded firmly at Shen Jinyao.

Shen Zhixue said, "Sister, you go ahead. The two of us will stay here."

Shen Zhixin also nodded and asked Shen Jinyao to hurry up the mountain.

Shen Jinyao nodded with satisfaction and said, "Wait for me to pick them up, and then we'll set off as soon as everyone is together."

After the three of them said goodbye, Shen Jinyao put on her straw raincoat and went up the mountain.

The climb up the mountain was obviously more difficult than before.

Shen Zhixue told Shen Jinyao that they had specially built a stone road.

Stone slabs are used, which makes it more convenient to go up and down the mountain.

Shen Jinyao found a stick and climbed up the mountain, taking one step forward and one step back.

At this time, in the cave on the mountain, the Shen family was preparing to cook.

There was no other entertainment in the cave. In order to prevent everyone from having wild thoughts, Mrs. Shen asked everyone to do some work.

So they saved up a lot of charcoal and had hot water every day.

At this time, many people gathered at the entrance of the cave.

Shen Zhiyong looked outside and muttered, "Strange, why haven't Zhixin and Zhixue come back yet?"

Shen Tingyao urged Lanlan to use the telescope to take a look. In the past, Zhixue would have returned by this time.

Lanlan was also a little worried. If something happened to Shen Zhixin, where would she find such an obedient apprentice?

Before long, more and more people gathered at the cave entrance.

They were whispering, discussing why Shen Zhixue and Shen Zhixin had not returned yet.

Le Yao said quietly: "Otherwise, I will go find my third and fourth brothers?"

Ergou said, "You wait at home, I'll go take a look."

At this time, Zong Cheng came over and said, "Stop arguing here. Meng Da and I will go check it out. You all wait at home."

Le Yao wanted to refute, but Mrs. Shen came over at this time.

"What are you guys doing here?"

Le Yao smiled and said, "Second Aunt, why did you come out? Go in and have a rest."

Shen Tingyao also hurriedly said: "Mom, it's raining heavily outside, let's go in and rest."

Mrs. Shen held her stomach and said, "I'm not tired. Where are Zhixin and Zhixue? Why haven't I seen them since they came back?"

Aunt Yun also said after hearing this: "Yes, why don't I see these two children?"

Mrs. Shen looked at Shen Tingyao and others and saw that they were silent.

I thought to myself, oh no, could something have happened to them?

There have been loud noises coming from near the cave recently.

In the dull and hollow cave, any sound from outside would be amplified.

Their fears will also be amplified a lot.

Two months have passed since Jin'er left.

Everyone in the Shen family was a little worried, especially Mrs. Shen.

Now that Zhixin has had some trouble, how will he, as his mother, live with this?

Zong Cheng looked at Madam Shen and said quickly, "Second Miss, please help Madam."

Only then did they notice that Mrs. Shen was about to faint.

Zong Cheng said, "Mrs. Shen, don't worry for now. Meng Da and I will go down the mountain to check. Maybe the two children are repairing the road because it is difficult to walk on it."

The road down the mountain was built piece by piece with stones picked up by the Shen family.

But if it rains every day, the stone surface will become very smooth.

Sometimes they put a layer of grass on top, and sometimes they find new stones.

Mrs. Shen nodded weakly.

The commotion here also alarmed the old lady.

She sat up in bed and hurriedly asked what happened.

The third wife said, "Don't worry, mother. Perhaps something happened on the way and Zhixue and Zhixin haven't returned yet."

"Zong Cheng and Meng Da will go down the mountain to look for them now."

Since moving into the cave, the old lady has been lying down and rarely comes down.

In such weather, even if the cave is comfortably decorated, it is still difficult for the elderly to adapt.

She sighed and nodded without saying anything.

Now there is no news about Jin'er, if anything happens to the two grandsons...

Hey……

Just when the old lady was feeling melancholy, there was a noise outside.

The eldest lady walked out to take a look, and actually followed him out.

"Jin'er is back."

"It's the young lady, the young lady is back."
