"So, even if we have seeds, we can't save everyone in the world."

A hint of disappointment suddenly flashed across Shu Sanchao's eyes. Indeed, there was chaos at the foot of the mountain now. It was either you kill me or I kill you. If people knew that there was a kind of highly productive crop here, these people would only fight to the death and take it for themselves, and would not think about benefiting the people at all!

Moreover, sufficient food will only prolong the duration of the war.

This is something Shu Sanchao and everyone on the mountain don't want to see...

Yu Ruyue knew that although Shu Sanchao was quiet, he was a scholar after all and wanted to serve his country, but Old Man Shu and Old Lady Shu didn't want their youngest son to take the risk...

Suddenly, there was a loud thunder. Everyone looked up and saw dark clouds in the distance rolling and gathering together rapidly, floating towards them.

Village Chief Shen looked at Xiao Shumiao and the two pregnant women who were helping out.

"Ruyue! Qiuhong! Hurry up and take the saplings back! If we work harder, we can definitely get them back before the rainstorm hits."

But at this time, no one wanted to go back first.

Especially when they looked up and saw the dark clouds slowly approaching, there was a terrifying feeling of suffocation, which made everyone speed up their movements. Even more terrifying was that by the time everyone worked together to dig out all the sweet potatoes and carry them back, it was clearly not yet dark, but it was already completely dark. From a distance, the sky looked like a beast with its mouth open, ready to swallow everyone in.

No one had time to light a fire to illuminate the way. They all groped in the dark, carrying their backpacks and quickly carrying the sweet potatoes and vegetables back.

Yu Ruyue looked at the sky getting darker and felt anxious. She used the space to collect a few baskets, then took them out again and put them in a small hole where they stored food!

After the vegetables outside were finally brought back, the chickens were all cleaned.

All the food in the ice cellar was also taken out, so as to prevent the continuous heavy rain from flooding the cellar and making the meat inedible!

Yu Ruyue looked up again and saw that the dark clouds were getting thicker and thicker, as if they would fall from the sky and crush them in the next second.

Yu Ruyue quickly said, "Go to the lake and fetch some more water."

"The rainwater may not contain many viruses, and the water from the lake is more reassuring."

Although everyone didn't understand what the difference was since they were all water, they still obeyed obediently and went back and forth to the lake to carry back several buckets of water. After filling all five large water tanks in the cave, they lit torches and filled all the iron pots used for cooking in the cave with water.

Shen Jiaojiao and Yu Tian looked at the fish constantly tumbling in the lake and ran to the lakeside. They looked at the sky again and thought that they would not be able to come out for ten days, so they thought of catching two fish to improve their meals in the evening.

As a result, just as Yu Tian walked into the lake, a bright light suddenly flashed across the originally dark sky, illuminating the entire sky, as if to tear a crack in the sky.

Then there was a loud bang, and deafening thunder sounded overhead, shaking the entire lake surface and causing it to tremble slightly. The fish that were constantly rolling around were rolling even more violently as if they had seen something terrible.

Yu Ruyue saw in the flash of lightning that the two men had actually walked into the lake. She quickly shouted, "Jiaojiao! Second brother! Come back quickly."

Yu Tian quickly grabbed a fish with one hand and walked quickly towards the shore.

Shen Jiaojiao reached out, took a fish, then took Yu Tian's hand and pulled him up.

Just as the two took a few steps, the sky was torn open by lightning again, and heavy rain poured down like a bucket, hitting the two of them heavily.

Yu Dehou and Village Chief Shen quickly put on their straw raincoats, took two umbrellas, and hurried out to meet the people.

Yu Ruyue quickly patted Shu Sanchao's shoulder and said, "Take two more raincoats. The wind and rain are so strong, an umbrella won't be able to stop us!"

Shu Sanchao immediately put on his straw raincoat, picked up two more, and rushed into the rain with his head down.

Yu Dehou and Village Chief Shen took the things from the two men and slapped them in anger. If it weren't for the heavy rain, they would have cursed them a few more times.

However, just as the two of them opened their umbrellas, a strong wind carrying sand, rocks, and leaves blew the umbrellas away.

Shu Sanchao also rushed over at this time and quickly handed over two raincoats.

Although Shen Jiaojiao and Yu Tian's clothes were all wet in just a few seconds, they still put on their raincoats and quickly walked towards the cave.

Rumble!

The thunder sounded again above their heads!

The rain was getting heavier and heavier. It seemed like God felt that pouring it with a bucket was not enough, so he used a basin directly!

The rain hit the heads and backs of the four people, bending their spines slightly.

Everyone in the cave paced anxiously at the entrance. They watched the heavy rain, feeling thankful they had pulled all the vegetables, but at the same time, they were worried about what would happen if the houses they had worked so hard to build were to be destroyed by the wind and rain...

Finally, the five people supported and pulled each other back to the cave. The suffocating feeling from the heavy rain finally dissipated. Everyone took several deep breaths, and the fear in their hearts gradually faded away.

Yu Dehou scolded him again, "Is there a shortage of food for you at home? Taking Jiaojiao to the river to fish now is because I think you won't die fast enough."

Yu Tian lowered his head, feeling a little scared. Who could have imagined that the rain would come so fast and so heavily!

Shen Jiaojiao was also a little embarrassed. In fact, it was she who instigated Yu Tian just now...

Village Chief Shen looked at his daughter, feeling so guilty, and said worriedly, "You too, are getting married soon, so why are you still so unstable?"

Yu Tian, who had been shrinking his neck and accepting the scolding obediently, immediately stood up when he heard it. "Everything is my fault, Dad! Uncle Shen, I was not steady enough. I will definitely change in the future."

When Village Chief Shen saw Yu Tian standing up impatiently, as if she was afraid that her father would teach her a lesson, he was both angry and amused.

However, he became more and more certain of this son-in-law.

Yu Dehou didn't say anything more, "Alright! Hurry up and go inside to change clothes."

"It would be bad if you caught a cold!"

There are several small branching holes in this cave, where food or other daily necessities are usually placed.

But because of the heavy rain this time, Yu Ruyue asked everyone to live in the cave and not live in the wooden houses and brick houses outside, so that they could take care of each other. Of course, the main purpose was to prevent the houses from being damaged by rocks and trees falling from the mountain due to wind and rain. After all, they were now in the mountains, so they had to be more cautious than people living in the mountains.

So everyone cleaned out two small caves, hung coarse cloth at the entrances of the two caves, marked them with men and women, and used them as places to change clothes and go to the bathroom.

When they changed their clothes and came out, a bonfire had already been lit in the middle of the cave.
