Chapter 106: Chosen Shelter
God probably couldn't stand the fact that they had to continue on their journey in such heavy rain, as if they were being looked down upon. There were thunder and lightning, strong winds and heavy rain, and the temperature suddenly dropped. The strong wind made the adults shiver, and the bean-sized raindrops hitting their bodies felt like pebbles, which was a bit painful.
There was no other way but to grit their teeth and keep going. If the rain continued like this, they would be waiting to die if they stayed where they were.
Finally, they reached a winding stone road with some carved ladders. Lin Weizhong said to the people behind him, "Carry the children up, and give each of you some of the things. The road ahead is all uphill. It will take about a quarter of an hour to get there from here."
Liu Caiyun held Liu Xiaomei in her arms, while Luo Hong asked Qi Xin to hold his grandson, and he freed his hands to help carry some luggage.
Lin Weizhong was walking in front with his son Lin Keyu, carrying a bucket of water. Mrs. Tan was leading the mule, and Mrs. Zhao was helping with some luggage.
Liu's father and mother wanted to drag the cart and the shed behind the mule. When Liu Caiyun saw this, she threw Liu Xiaomei to her mother and said, "Mom, you hold Xiaomei, and let me do the rest!"
She was very strong and dragged the cart shed up the slope by herself.
Father Liu pushed the car from behind and held on to prevent it from slipping.
The group struggled through the rain and headed up the hillside.
The rain was getting heavier, as if the sky had split open, pouring out its sorrow mercilessly. The raindrops hit the cart, making a thumping sound, which mixed with the heavy breathing of the crowd, forming a movement of unyielding struggle.
Everyone clenched their teeth. The sweat rolling down their foreheads mixed with the rain, blurring their vision, but it could not blur her firm determination.
Each step she took was extremely firm, as if declaring her indomitable spirit to the raging wind and rain.
While pushing the cart hard, Father Liu kept turning his head to look at Mother Liu, fearing that she might stumble and fall.
"I'm fine. Please help get the mule cart up the slope. Weizhong said the road ahead will be much easier to navigate."
He held the side of the car tightly with both hands to prevent the wheels from slipping and moving backwards. Liu Caiyun was very strong, but the situation was also very critical at the moment.
At this moment, a strong wind mixed with more dense raindrops hit, and the cart suddenly shook violently, and it seemed that it was about to lose balance. Father Liu was startled, but he quickly calmed down, nailed his feet firmly to the ground, and increased his strength with his hands, while using his body as a fulcrum to stabilize the cart.
"Forget it, we don't want this back seat anymore."
Liu Caiyun disagreed. They had come such a long way, it would be a pity to give up now. She gritted her teeth and insisted not to give up: "Dad, I can do it. I will hold on a little longer."
"Hold on, we'll be at the top of the slope soon!" Lin Weizhong's voice in front came through the rain curtain, bringing a warm power into their ears.
Liu Caiyun was at the front, looking up ahead. Although her vision was blurry, the goal in her mind was extremely clear.
She gritted her teeth, said nothing, just gripped the handlebars even harder and walked forward with her head down.
Finally, when the cart stopped steadily at the top of the slope, she breathed a sigh of relief and a tired but satisfied smile appeared on her face.
Father Liu also showed a relieved smile, with tears in his eyes.
The rain around them seemed to become gentler, as if even the sky was cheering for their persistence and courage.
Just as Lin Weizhong said, the road ahead was much easier to walk on and there were no major slopes or bumps.
After walking along the mountain road for an unknown amount of time, I heard a voice in front of me: "I've seen the house. Hold on a little longer."
"We're finally here!" The people in front shouted excitedly, their voices trembling a little but extremely firm.
At this moment, all the hard work and fatigue turned into sweet rain and dew, nourishing their hearts.
The thatched house was built in front of a large stone slab, behind which was a forest. The geographical location seemed like a selected safe shelter. The ground was inclined downwards into the hillside, so rainwater could not spread into the thatched house, and rainwater washed down from the back mountain could not reach the thatched house either.
The wisdom of the ancients should not be underestimated. This is the chosen shelter.
"Hurry, hurry, everyone, go in."
The people in front came into the house one after another. Liu Caiyun, her father and two others were at the back. Liu Caiyun tied the mule at the door of the thatched hut as there was extra space, so he just left the cart at the door.
The thatched house looked quite solid from a distance, but after entering, I found that there was no door that could be closed and the space inside was clearly visible.
It rained so hard, and although there was no backflow of rainwater on the ground, the thatched house may have been uninhabited and unmaintained for a long time, and there was a little leakage on the roof. It had been raining for so long that a lot of water had leaked in, and the ground inside the house was already wet.
However, the simple stone bed built with stones on the other side looked relatively dry.
Despite this, the environment is much better than expected!
In this simple yet warm haven, everyone felt an inexplicable sense of security.
Everyone was looking around. Although the conditions were difficult, the secluded tranquility allowed their tense nerves to relax.
The rain was still heavy, hitting the thatched roof with bursts of dense noise, as if it was the most melodious music in nature, adding a bit of rhythm to this lonely night.
Liu Caixia walked to the seemingly dry stone bed, gently brushed off the dust on the surface, and found a relatively dry place to sit down.
"Everyone come over here, there's a leak over there, let's fix it first."
Liu Caixia brought a pile of dry straw over and placed it on the stone bed to block out the slight chill coming from the stone slabs.
Seeing some dry firewood nearby, he took down the tarpaulin on the mule cart, found four wooden sticks in the house, and used the tarpaulin to build a rectangular shed in the house to cover some firewood and hay to prevent the firewood from getting wet due to excessive rain.
After Liu's father came in and took a look, he called out to the others: "Don't just stand there, quickly cover the leaking area with cloth, change your wet clothes immediately, and light the fire. The weather is getting colder, don't get sick, there is no place to get medicine at this time. Getting sick can be fatal."
Liu Caixia asked Liu Caiyun to push the cart in, and using the wooden frame on the cart, she opened the waterproof cloth and carried everyone's change of clothes. The clothes were well protected and did not get too wet.
Then put the waterproof cloth on the rack to form a wall, with the women inside and the men outside.
You can't care so much in the wilderness.
With the dim light of the fire, everyone changed into clean clothes and gathered around the fire to warm themselves.
