Chapter 105: Finding a Place to Shelter from the Rain

About another hour passed, and the rain was still pouring down.

Liu Caiyun looked at the low-lying areas on the roadside. The dry soil could not absorb the rain that poured down in an instant, and ponds and puddles soon began to form.

The few people who were soaked found clean clothes to change into and stood outside again. Soon their trouser legs were wet by the flying rain again.

“It’s getting darker!”

"Dad, it's raining so hard, what should I do?"

"Let's see what the situation is. This kind of rainstorm can't keep going this heavy. We can only wait and see if it gets lighter. Usually, this kind of thunderstorm comes and goes quickly. It might stop soon. But rain is a good sign."

Luo Hong protected his wife and grandson, and said helplessly while looking at the heavy rain outside: "It's raining so hard, what else can we do if we don't wait? We can't continue on our journey at all!"

"Rain is a good thing, but we are afraid that it will rain continuously. We still need to make plans early."

Liu's mother also said worriedly.

After hearing what Liu's mother said, Liu's father fell silent. For a moment, no one spoke, just watching the heavy rain outside.

After everyone was silent for a while, Lin Weizhong said to Liu's father, "Uncle Liu, I'll go look around to see if there's any place to stay under the rain. If it's nearby, we'll go there in the rain as soon as possible. The adults can take the trouble to find a place, and the children can go there directly later. This way, even if their clothes get wet, they can change them later, so it shouldn't be a big problem."

After Lin Weizhong finished speaking, he added in Liu's father's ear, "Give everyone some granules to prevent colds so they won't catch a cold so easily."

Father Liu nodded. "That's fine. Are you okay? Do you have anything to shelter you from the rain? I'll ask Xiaolu to find something for you."

"I'm fine now, don't worry. I have a raincoat, Ke Yu will give it to me."

Lin Weizhong called out to his son Lin Keyu, and Lin Keyu obediently took out a folded gray raincoat from his schoolbag and gave it to him.

Lin Weizhong put on his raincoat and ran out.

Liu Caixia was about to interrupt. The two of them did go pretty fast from planning to departure. She didn't remember for a moment that she ran fast. "Dad, I should go too. I'm faster."

When Liu Caixia saw Lin Weizhong rushing out, she realized that she ran faster and might be more suitable to explore the way.

Father Liu waved his hand. He still believed in Lin Weizhong's ability. He must have learned the ability of field combat in the army before he retired, so he should have more experience in finding a place to work.

"It's okay. It will be the same if he goes. He is serious and careful in his work and has a strong ability to observe. Let's wait for him to come back."

"Dad, there are some steamed bread and coarse flour buns here. Let's each have one to fill our stomachs first!"

Liu Caixia thought what her father said made sense, so she didn't insist on going out.

He turned around and asked Xiao Lu to take out some steamed corn bread and coarse flour steamed buns from the backpack. Fortunately, their family had steamed a lot of raw materials at Liu's father's farm villa.

When there were people around along the way, they would eat this. When there was no one around, they would eat buns or other things. Each person was given one and started eating.

Lin Keyu and Fang Chenhao both have their own spaces, but their spaces are not big enough to collect so many steamed buns. There are also a lot of other miscellaneous things. Although they want to eat some snacks at the moment, with so many people around, they can only eat steamed buns.

In private, they would also secretly eat some junk food that children like to eat.

Lin Keyu's space is mostly filled with daily necessities and self-defense weapons. Most of the food he eats is snacks collected from small supermarkets, as well as some rice, flour, grain and oil collected from the farmer's market.

I heard from him that when they were just the two of them, they often ate instant noodles. Lin Weizhong was too busy with work to cook, and Lin Keyu was even less able to do so.

So after the end of the world, people would rather not cook than cook. They would do whatever is convenient. Anyway, they have a lot of instant noodles, instant rice, etc.

The things Fang Chenhao collected were almost all snacks and rice, flour, grain and oil from small supermarkets. The county town where they lived was so small that it was already very good to receive some things. They did not have the conditions to cook so many cooked foods and put them in the space. The two siblings were already very happy to eat some candies and biscuits occasionally.

Their two families are similar. The main reason is that they don't have the conditions to do it themselves. In addition, there are no women in the family, so they can't think about these things. It's not easy for them to survive until now.

Lin Weizhong came back an hour later. After he came back, he talked directly to Liu's father and Luo Hong.

"I found a thatched adobe house on a hillside ahead. It's quite spacious inside and no one is there right now. There's also some dry firewood and straw inside. I guess it was left there by villagers on their way to the county town or by merchants who stayed overnight. It took me an hour to go back and forth. If we go there alone, it will definitely be much slower. Calculating the time, we should be able to leave now and settle down before dark."

Liu Caiyun held Xiaomei in her arms and looked at the mule cart, and asked with a sigh: "Is the road easy to drive on? How can we get our mule cart up the mountain?"

"It's OK. It's not on a very steep mountain. There's a road that goes up along the hillside in front. The mule cart should be able to go there. But we need to pack up the things on the shed at the back. The mule cart can't carry so many things up there. Let's divide the people and each take some of the things on the mule cart. It's not very far. We should be fine if we hold on."

Luo Hong looked at the rain outside. It was still as heavy as when it started, and there was no sign of it getting lighter. "Okay, we have quite a few people, so let's hold on. Let's set off now. The rain has been falling for two or three hours and it hasn't gotten lighter. You see, the water on the official road can't be drained out. It's estimated that it has accumulated to half a meter deep. Look at some places in the distance, the accumulated water is pouring down like a river! In this situation, we should find a place to hide as soon as possible. It will be more troublesome if we stay here until it gets dark. We can't stand here forever. We can hold on for a while, but what about the children?"

Now, the children can still sit on the truck bed because it is covered with a waterproof sheet. The situation is still good at this time. When we are on the road later, we can take the children and some things off the truck bed. We can divide the work and each take some.

"Yes, and this rain may not stop tomorrow. After the drought, it is very likely that continuous rain will cause floods. There is really no time to stop."

Some were packing their luggage, some were pulling the mule cart, and the children were also arranged by the adults, with each person taking care of one.

Lin Weizhong was walking in front wearing a raincoat. On his way back, he picked up a lot of banana leaves and cattail leaves to make rainproof tools.

It was a pity that they couldn’t take out their umbrellas and some plastic raincoats, so they could only make some simple rain-proof tools.

"Be careful! Walk slowly!"
