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

After that, every day in the courtyard was repetitive and fulfilling.

The group stayed in the courtyard for another half a month, and the sky finally cleared up.

The sun actually came out that afternoon, and it didn't rain after the sun came out.

Finally, after more than two months of rain, the sky cleared up.

The sunlight penetrated the clouds like a thin thread, gently sprinkling on every corner of the courtyard, dispelling the long-standing gloom and dampness.

Every inch of land in the courtyard seems to have been given new life, and the evergreen trees are lush and vibrant.

The wild flowers and weeds on the roadside straightened up and bloomed under the caress of the sun, emitting bursts of fresh and pleasant fragrance, attracting bees and butterflies to dance among the flowers, making the scene very lively.

The next day after the rain stopped, it was still sunny.

A group of people walked out of the simple shelter with long-lost smiles on their faces. They stood in the yard, closed their eyes, took a deep breath of the air full of the scent of sunshine, their hearts filled with gratitude and expectations for life.

Everyone smiled at each other without saying much. It was a kind of tacit understanding, a tacit understanding that the sky had finally cleared up.

On the third morning when the sun was still shining brightly, Liu's father and Luo Hong gathered the family to discuss: "We should get ready to set off. The sky has finally cleared up, but the temperature will get lower and lower with the arrival of winter. We must settle down before winter comes completely."

Luo Hong: "We have to leave quickly. It's already December and we don't know if we can get to Shanqing County before the New Year in the next month."

"If nothing goes wrong, we should be able to get there! Let's go out and check the situation later and buy another carriage! This way we can travel faster."

After some discussion, we finally decided to set off for the next city if it didn't rain the next day, and try to speed up the journey afterwards, so as to settle down in Shanqing County before the New Year at the end of January. We would also have to build a house by then, and we all hoped to have a peaceful New Year together.

Of course, these are just plans, and we don’t know what the road ahead will be like.

In this era, there were no maps to calculate the exact distance, and the group included both the old and the young, and with only one mule cart, progress was slow.

After a morning of thinking and planning, they all agreed to buy another mule cart or horse carriage. It would be better to buy a horse carriage. If a horse carriage was too expensive and ostentatious, then they would just buy a mule cart. If there weren't too many things, more people could ride in the cart and the progress should be much faster.

After lunch, Father Liu took Luo Hong and Lin Weizhong out. They first went to the pawnshop to have a look, and then walked around the city. They bought food and other things if they could, but there was nothing they could do if they couldn't.

We also need to buy some more daily necessities, especially cotton, to see if we can buy some to make cotton-padded clothes. Everyone has made two sets of clothes during this period.

They can also secretly wear some thin down jackets inside to keep warm, and put on a coat outside so that it won't be noticeable at all.

But there were other people in the team, and without cotton there was no way to make clothes for them.

After the three of them left, the rest of the people packed their luggage in the yard.

There were still three pounds of nails in the broken boat. Although they had tried to save as much as possible, after all they had lived there for such a long time, and there were quite a few miscellaneous things to sort out.

With so many people, everyone had to make two new sets of clothes, as well as quilts for when the weather got cold, so there was really a lot of things to pack up.

No one went to the mountain to collect firewood or pick wild vegetables these two days, so a lot of the previous stock was used up. Two backpacks full of wild vegetables and two large bags of dried mushrooms were packed away.

There were still some dry firewood, commonly used pots and pans, straw mats and quilts for beds left in the yard. These were all things that had to be taken away, and were also necessities that would be useful along the way.

The bedding items can be packed up tomorrow morning. The mattress and quilt will still be used for one night, so pack up whatever else can be packed.

Although supplies seem abundant, every resource is particularly precious in this remote and harsh environment.

Liu Caixia actually didn't want to lose anything. When she was directing others to do things, she would quietly let a few little guys put some things into the space, but it couldn't be too obvious.

In the end, there were so many things and the firewood was heavy that it was indeed a bit too much to carry them all.

So Liu Caixia kept some of it, and asked Liu Hao to give the rest to the neighbor on the left: "Haozi, you are quite familiar with the uncle next door, why don't you give him the firewood we can't take away! Or you can look for some families nearby, if there are people you are close to and who are nice people, pick some and give them away. We really can't take so much with us on the road."

Liu Caixia had no choice. After all, there were other people in the team and she had to pretend.

"Okay, I think there is indeed too much firewood. I'll give some away."

After Liu Caixia gave Liu Hao instructions, she continued to talk to the two maids, "Okay, send away some of the things you don't need. As for these tools, they are indispensable. And the dried mushrooms and wild vegetables are not too heavy after being dried. Pack them all up and take them away."

Liu Hao went out carrying a large bundle of firewood. The door of the neighbor's house was open at the moment, and a woman was working inside.

Liu Hao knocked on the door and said, "Auntie! We are neighbors next door. The weather has cleared up and we are ready to continue our journey. This bundle of firewood is too heavy to take away, so I will give it to you!"

After hearing what he said, the aunt quickly took it and thanked him: "Thank you very much!"

He took the firewood and continued, "Where are you going? Wait a moment!"

He turned around and ran into the house, took out a green melon and said, "Take this green melon back and add it to your dishes. I wish you a safe journey!"

Liu Hao has been here for such a long time that he still chats with his only neighbor.

He is a sociable and talkative person. He usually doesn't go out when it rains, and when he goes out, he goes to work.

I haven't had the chance to go out and socialize, so I'm just chatting with my neighbors right now, and I can't help but let my true feelings flow out.

After a while, we started chatting. There was a wall directly to the right of the house they lived in, so there were no neighbors. The family living on the left side was composed of two brothers. The aunt had two sons, and the two brothers used to run a breakfast shop.

Business has become increasingly difficult in recent years of famine. We have been living off our past capital and have not been living a good life.

Today, as the rain has stopped and the sky has cleared up, I thought about re-tidying up the small shop and reopening it when the weather is better. I pick up firewood from the mountains every day, and occasionally spend money to buy it. The old man in my family is very happy to be given so much firewood.

The old man was quite polite and gave a gift in return. A green melon really doesn’t mean much now, but it’s still a token of his thoughtfulness.

I didn't ignore them just because their family was about to leave.

After Liu Hao chatted with the aunt for a few words, he decided not to talk any more and went back with a green melon.

The green melon looked similar to the modern winter melon, but it felt harder than the winter melon. I didn't know what kind of melon it was, so I gave it to Mrs. Zhao when I got home. Mrs. Zhao recognized the melon and knew how to cook it. They just had to eat it.

Liu Caixia looked at the packed bundles and sacks.

I truly felt that moving is a big project. It's true. They only lived here for a little over a month and they managed to pack up so many things!
