Crossing the famine to find the white moonlight

The torrential rain hadn't completely subsided, and the ground remained muddy. Many in the group were exhausted and increasingly depressed by the days of torrential rain. Ye Wan realized that if they wanted to continue, they needed to find a dry, safe area where they could rest and recuperate. Therefore, she decided to lead everyone to a higher, drier area to establish a temporary shelter.

After surveying the surrounding terrain, Ye Wan led everyone to a relatively high area. Although densely covered with vegetation, the ground was relatively dry and free of water, making it an ideal location for temporary shelter. She directed everyone to quickly clear a clearing and then exchanged some simple tools from the system to build a makeshift shelter to protect against the wind and rain.

Under her guidance, several young men used machetes to cut down several thick branches to serve as support pillars for the shed. Ye Wan taught everyone how to interlace the branches and secure them with thick vines to ensure the shed's stability. She also led everyone in gathering large leaves and weeds to spread on the roof as a cover to prevent rain from dripping directly into the shed.

Her movements were swift and methodical, with a clear division of labor, and everyone was assigned appropriate tasks. Under her leadership, they gradually built a simple shelter to protect against the wind and rain. Despite the limited conditions, the shelter was sufficient to provide a temporary refuge for the elderly, the weak, the sick, and the disabled in the team.

After the initial construction of the shelter was completed, Ye Wan immediately arranged for the elderly and children to enter the shed first to rest and take shelter from the rain. She urged them to keep it dry and directed other team members to lay simple straw mats for the elderly, the weak, and the disabled to avoid sitting directly on the wet ground.

An elderly man sitting in the shed held Ye Wan's hand gratefully and said tearfully, "Miss Wan, you are truly a blessing to all of us. In such terrible weather, if it weren't for you, we old, weak, and sick people really don't know how we would cope."

Ye Wan smiled and comforted him, saying softly, "We are all in this together, and we should take care of each other. As long as we unite as one, there will be no difficulties that we cannot overcome."

Her gentle care warmed the hearts of the elderly, who expressed their gratitude. Many, exhausted by the torrential rain, found a moment's respite in the shelter. Everyone admired Ye Wan's attentive care, and more and more people began to rely on her guidance, believing that under her leadership, they could overcome any difficult situation.

After settling the elderly and children, Ye Wan continued to work, arranging shifts of young and middle-aged men to ensure the safety of the temporary shelter. Fearing the possibility of wild animals approaching at night, she arranged some simple defensive measures. She instructed everyone to surround the shelter with sharp sticks and stones, providing additional protection and enabling a quick response in the event of an emergency.

She then meticulously checked the shelter's stability, ensuring there was no risk of rainwater seepage or roof collapse. Her meticulous attention to detail gave everyone a sense of peace of mind and security.

As night fell and the roar of the torrential rain gradually faded, everyone gathered in the shelter, warming each other by the dim firelight. They looked at Ye Wan, their eyes filled with trust and reliance. No matter how treacherous the situation, she could quickly and calmly find a solution, bringing safety and comfort to everyone.

A young mother approached Ye Wan with her child and said tearfully, "Miss Wan, you are truly our rock. The child hasn't slept well for several days, and today he can finally rest peacefully. If you hadn't led us to this shelter, we really don't know what we would do."

Ye Wan patted her shoulder gently and said softly, "It's my responsibility to take good care of everyone. I feel relieved when I see you are safe. As long as we work together, we will definitely be able to get out of this predicament."

Her words filled everyone's hearts with warmth and confidence. Inside the shelter, everyone felt a renewed sense of unity. The depression that had been building up due to the heavy rain and the difficult journey gradually lifted, and everyone's face revealed a rare, relaxed smile.

During this torrential downpour, Ye Wan not only led everyone to a shelter, but also provided them with tangible protection with her calmness and attentiveness. Every decision she made was imbued with wisdom and compassion, earning not only respect for her ability but also a deep reliance on her leadership. She became the heart of this shelter, the spiritual pillar for everyone.

On rainy nights, Ye Wan persisted at the edge of the shelter, personally patrolling every corner to ensure nothing was overlooked. Her tenacity and selflessness inspired everyone in the group. Those who had previously been filled with fear for the future, rekindled their hope for survival because of her presence, and were willing to follow her lead into the unknown.

That night, everyone in the shelter slept peacefully. Young and middle-aged people took turns keeping watch, while the elderly and children rested quietly in the tent, surrounded by the care and protection of their families and companions. Ye Wan, with her meticulousness and wisdom, helped the team find a moment of peace on this rainy night and gave everyone the strength to persevere.

At dawn, the rain finally stopped, and a faint light appeared on the horizon, signaling the arrival of a new day. Ye Wan led everyone in arranging a shelter, gathering supplies, and preparing to continue their journey.
