Rebirth, end of the world, time travel, escape famine, make money!

They observed the surroundings and saw that there was no campfire, so there should be no one resting there.

The road they took to escape was all dirt roads, and they didn't meet any other people traveling.

I think the people before them chose to rest near the dilapidated temple. They have been walking for so long, so they should be safe for the time being.

After deciding to rest there, Mrs. Tan found a big rock for the mule cart, tied the mule, unloaded the cart bed and placed it next to the big rock. She could then lead the mule to the weedy area at the foot of the mountain to eat some grass.

The place where they rested at night was a shed next to the truck bed. Mrs. Zhao came to help and soon built a simple shed, leaning against the two sides of the truck bed, with the men on one side and the women on the other.

I am very confident in Lin Weizhong's arrangements, and whatever he says is what it is.

After making the arrangements, Father Liu took the opportunity to introduce the situation of Luo Hong and the other two to the others. He briefly explained what he could say, and what he couldn't say would be discussed privately later away from Mrs. Tan and the others.

Everyone was very happy to know each other's identities, and their team grew a lot stronger.

The two old women in the team had no right to express any opinions. After all, they were sold by Liu's father and all they had to do was obey Liu's arrangements.

We traveled too late last night and no one slept well the next day.

Everyone yawned and woke up at dawn with sleepy eyes.

Although there were not many people at the resting place at this time, if they did not hurry up, the people behind them would definitely catch up with them soon.

It is better to leave early at this time. The further east you go, the safer it is and the farther away you will be from the fleeing army behind you. As long as it doesn't rain, the road to escape will not be peaceful.

After packing up, I waited until breakfast was over before leaving.

They are all modern people with modern stomachs, accustomed to eating three meals a day. The peasants of their dynasty ate two meals a day. Maybe it was not a habit, but simply to save food. Many of the dignitaries still ate three meals a day.

The task of cooking was temporarily handed over to Mrs. Zhao. Mrs. Zhao made a pot of wild vegetable and chestnut porridge, and gave everyone some previously roasted dried meat. Each person ate a bowl of dried meat with the porridge, so they could be about 70% full in the morning.

After eating and drinking enough, I felt energetic enough to continue my journey.

After that, the group walked for another six or seven days. The journey was relatively smooth and nothing dangerous happened.

Finally, they were about to reach the next county town. They all thought that they could go into the city, stay in an inn, spend some money to rest, and replenish some food and water.

At noon that day, the group found a place to rest as usual, prepared to have some lunch, and then rest in the cool air after eating.

After they parked the mule cart, they started collecting firewood around to make a fire and cook. I don't know if it was due to psychological reasons or something else.

Liu Caixia always felt that the weather was a bit hot and uncomfortable, and the temperature was higher than before.

She looked up at the sun in the sky and said to Father Liu, "Dad, I always feel that it is so hot today. I don't know if it is because of the geographical location, but it always feels very stuffy and hot, which is very different from the previous heat!"

Father Liu actually felt it, but he thought they might have arrived in the central basin area, where the climate is a bit hot and humid: "I felt it too, I think it might be because we are in the central basin area. Look at the Sichuan and Chongqing areas, isn't it very hot and humid!"

Liu Caixia thought about it and agreed, so she started helping others cook.

They didn't have much water left, so they used the stored water sparingly and often asked Fang Chenxi to add some water to the bucket. Now that there were people with water abilities in the team, the water that had been collected before could be saved for their own drinking.

Fang Chenxi secretly added water into the bucket and mixed it for cooking. It was not too much. Fortunately, they were about to enter the city, otherwise it would be difficult to explain why the water could not be used up.

Everyone sat on one side of the mule cart, using the shade of the shed to rest, while a fire was set up on the other side with a pot set up to cook porridge.

Before they could finish cooking, the sky suddenly changed without any warning. Dark clouds gathered together at once as if by magic, and the sky instantly became gloomy. Soon after, lightning and thunder appeared, and strong winds tore through the earth. The surrounding branches were rustling, and the smaller branches were directly broken and rushed towards the ground.

"It's over. It looks like it's going to rain heavily soon. Hurry up and pack up your things and find a high place to take shelter."

"The weather changes so quickly, faster than turning the pages of a book."

When the two older men, Liu's father and Luo Hong, saw this situation, they immediately told everyone to carry their things to higher ground. The place where they were resting was low-lying and full of mud. If there was a heavy rain, it would be easily submerged by the accumulated rainwater, and they would probably be stuck in the mud and unable to extricate themselves.

Everyone was busy loading all the stuff onto the mule cart, while they were complaining: "This heavy rain won't last long, right?"

"No one knows how long it will rain, so let's hide for a while and make plans later!"

Everyone climbed up the hillside to a slightly open platform. There were several large rocks embedded in the hillside, and the cars were parked on one side of the rocks.

Liu Xiaolu quietly took out a piece of waterproof cloth from the space, which she had bought from an outdoor sports brand store. Liu Caixia took it and put it on the truck bed. When it rains, it can cover things and people standing next to it can also cover themselves. It is very useful to kill two birds with one stone.

Everyone gathered together, the children were held or led steadily, supporting each other and huddled together.

In just a few minutes, it began to rain heavily. Some adults at the back were unable to dodge and their clothes were soaked.

As the rain had just started and was really heavy, Father Liu asked everyone to gather on one side of the carport and cover their bodies with waterproof cloth to avoid getting wet. The mule that had not yet been settled was tied to a small tree on the side of the road.

Fortunately, this section of the official road was paved with stones and was higher than the side they came from. The mule and some things that had not been put away in time could only get wet in the rain here.

The heavy rain kept falling, and the sky seemed to have cracked open, as if it could not hold all the rain, and all the rain that had not fallen in the past few years was pouring out.

The endless rain shrouded the whole world in a hazy haze. The dry earth absorbed the water in big gulps, and soon the thirsty body could no longer withstand such heavy rain.

The excess rainwater quickly accumulated into small streams, rushing toward the low-lying areas.

"Crash..."

The bean-sized raindrops hit the waterproof cover above my head without damaging it, making a "pa pa pa..." sound.

The sudden rainstorm put them in a difficult situation, but it also seemed like they saw a glimmer of hope.

Surprised and happy, love and hate.
