Yu Ruyue took the bowl and drank it all in one gulp, and instantly felt warm in her stomach.

Shen Yuyan also hurried over to feel her pulse. "Your pulse is a little fluctuating, which means you're frightened. But the child is fine, but you must rest."

Yu Ruyue nodded. This time she was truly terrified. That scene would remain with her forever. As expected, humans were still too insignificant in the face of the power of nature, like ants...

At night, everyone lay in the cave, huddled together, listening to the howling cold wind outside, and no one could fall asleep!

As soon as I close my eyes, I will unconsciously recall the scene that happened during the day, and panic, fear, and dread all come to my mind.

In the corner, Feng Han, surrounded by Qiuhong and Liang Shulan, kept recalling everything he had experienced in the past thirty years.

She had been loved by her parents since she was young and married to the husband she loved. Although they were not in love after marriage, they had not suffered much. The only thing that made her suffer and despair was her daughter's entry into the palace and her daughter's death...

She had previously thought that losing her husband's favor was like the sky falling. Later, her daughter's death made her lose her desire to live. Then, being sold by her husband for food was a fatal blow to her...

But now, she has witnessed the struggles of the lower classes, seen that all beings are equal in times of natural disasters, and even more so, the fragility of life and the insignificance of human beings, which has given her a new understanding of life...

In the early morning, the rain was still falling outside. The women silently lit a fire and cooked, while the men stood at the entrance of the cave, watching the water slowly rising.

"Dehou! If this continues, our cave will be flooded too."

Yu Dehou was also very worried. "I'm afraid the canal we just opened has been buried by the sand and rocks, so there is so much water. But we can't go out and take risks anymore, so let's wait!"

Yu Ruyue also walked to the entrance of the cave and looked out through the gap. The originally green grass had been covered with mud, sand and stones.

Now, I can only hope that God will give them a way out...

Yu Ruyue and Qiuhong, two pregnant women, were frightened yesterday. Shen Yuyan asked them to lie down as much as possible, take good care of themselves, and eat some nutritious food.

In addition to taking the vitamin and folic acid system-produced pregnancy-preserving medicine that Yu Ruyue has to take every day, she also has to prepare her own meals.

Every morning, Liang Shulan would cook a bowl of bird's nest stewed with donkey-hide gelatin, and also add wolfberry and red dates.

Qiuhong drank it twice and realized that the transparent and sticky substance inside was bird's nest and donkey-hide gelatin. She quickly waved her hand and said she didn't want to drink it anymore. Yu Ruyue didn't force her. Instead, she wrapped some folic acid in paper and asked her to take it every day. She also gave her some eggs. She didn't refuse anymore.

After drinking this, they started to eat breakfast. Even though the environment was so bad, Liang Shulan still cooked for Yu Ruyue in different ways, with all kinds of meat and vegetables, and she would secretly give her a glass of milk at night.

A few days passed like this, and with a bang, a small wooden house that had been built earlier collapsed, and everyone realized that the rain had gradually subsided.

However, having learned from the last lesson, no one rushed out.

But fortunately, just when the rain was about to spread into the cave, the rain finally stopped!

Everyone looked at the clear weather outside and felt a huge sense of relief.

Finally! These difficult ten days are finally over.

However, the lesson from last time was too tragic, so they still did not go out rashly. They waited for another two hours before going out to take a look at the wooden house. It was the first wooden house they built. Maybe because the technology was not so sophisticated at that time and the foundation was not solid, the wooden house collapsed after being ravaged by wind and rain!

But fortunately, he didn't fall down when there was someone inside, so he was lucky.

Yu Ruyue went into the brick house to check it out.

Except for a little flooding on the ground, there was no sign of leakage on the rest of the walls and roof, and even the kang was very dry.

Wait for the water to recede, then open the windows and doors for two days to let the moisture out, warm it up with a fire, and it will be habitable.

Everyone stayed in the cave for another two days, waiting for the water to slowly sink, and then went out to see the ditch they had dug before. Sure enough, the land had been completely blocked by mud and sand flowing down from the mountain. Even the ground in this place was much higher than before, and there was no trace of the ditch at all.

Yu Ruyue also went to take a look. The big rock where she had been standing to avoid the landslide was gone. It seemed that it had rolled down with the landslide. There were even many broken trees lying around, completely blocking the view.

They took another look at the road down the mountain, and sure enough, it was also completely blocked by mud and sand!

Yu Ruyue was a little worried about the saltpeter and coal on the mountain, but now the water had just drained away, and no one knew whether climbing the mountain now would cause another landslide, so they just looked around and went back. As a result, as soon as they returned, they heard Shen Jiaojiao's excited call.

"Ruyue! Come here quickly! Look!"

Lotus and lotus leaves protected Yu Ruyue, and the few of them quickly walked towards Shen Jiaojiao.

As soon as I got closer, my attention was attracted by the lively things on the ground.

Lotus Leaf exclaimed, "Oh my God, it's fish! So many fish! And there are many kinds of fish I have never seen before."

Lotus' eyes sparkled, "How can there be so many fish? This must be a gift from God!"

Yu Ruyue didn't expect that after the flood receded, so many lively little creatures would be left behind.

Moreover, these fish are of many species and are quite large.

Liang Shulan and Shu Pozi had already returned home, got a bucket, and started bending down to pick up the fish.

"This fish will be so delicious when dried in the sun for stewing in the winter!"

"Yes! Add a little more salt and it will become pickled fish. It can be eaten for a long time!"

Shen Jiaojiao also grabbed one and said with a smile, "Ruyue! How come I've never seen this fish before? It shouldn't be found in this lake! Especially at this size, it looks like it came from some big river!"

Yu Ruyue was silent for a moment, then said, "There must be a large river on top of the mountain that hasn't completely dried up. The heavy rain has swollen the river, and washed the fish out of the river."

Shen Jiaojiao bent down with a smile and caught another fish. The fish was lively and huge. She thought she could control the fish with one hand, but the fish swung its tail and slapped her in the face, then fell to the ground, twisted its body and tried to run away.

Shen Jiaojiao cried out, and Yu Tian ran over instantly.

"What's wrong? What happened?"

Shen Jiaojiao pointed at the big black fish on the ground with grievance, "This fish bullied me! It slapped me in the face!"
