Transmigrated into a seven-year-old child, my fate is in my own hands, not in the heavens.

It's clear that people used to live in this cave and hunt animals there.

The entrance to this cave is quite hidden. If you don't go around to this side, you won't even see that there's an entrance. It's clear that not many people know about this cave.

Zhao Lian guessed that this was probably a place where some hunters rested after going up the mountain to hunt.

Zhao Lian looked around and found no other suspicious places or other animals, so she was relieved. This place was an excellent shelter from the rain.

Zhao Lian quickly turned around and left the cave. The rain was still falling, and it was even heavier than when she had just come out, but fortunately there was no thunder.

Zhao Lian used her lightness skill to quickly return to the original spot and rejoin them. Sun Shangxiang and the others had already woven four or five raincoats.

"Zhaolian, how is it? Have you found a place to take shelter from the rain?" Yan Guihua asked with a questioning look.

Zhao Lian was overjoyed and couldn't stop smiling: "We found it! It's not far from here. Everyone, quickly put on these raincoats."

Yan Guihua's eyes lit up: "Oh, that's great! Eldest daughter-in-law, hurry up and finish making this raincoat. Da Ni, you guys put this raincoat on quickly!"

After they put on their raincoats, Sun Shangxiang and the others finished weaving the remaining leaves, making a total of six raincoats. Just enough for the four children and two elderly people to wear.

"Grandmother, I'll take you there first. Uncle, you wait here for a while." Zhao Lian planned to let the old woman and the child go first, and then take the raincoat back to fetch them.

Liu Jinzhu refused, saying, "No way! I'm not comfortable leaving them in that cave when you come back later. Let's go together."

Zhao Lian knew Liu Jinzhu's worries, and she knew that his worries were not unreasonable. If the old people and children were left alone in the cave, and something really happened, it would be too late to regret it.

Zhao Lian nodded: "Alright, let's go together then!"

After pondering for a moment, Jiang Si spoke up: "Zhao Lian, I have an idea. Why don't we stand under this oilcloth, with our uncles wearing raincoats holding up one corner of the oilcloth, and slowly walk forward?"

Zhao Lian slapped her forehead: "Hey! Third Aunt's idea is great, why didn't I think of that!"

"Yes! That's a great idea! Let's do it this way!"

The suggestion was unanimously approved. Everyone began to take off their raincoats and let Liu Jinzhu and his brothers put them on.

In addition, Zhao Lian grabbed a corner of the oilcloth, and the rest of them stood in the middle of the oilcloth, and they began to move forward step by step.

We had walked about halfway when the rain started to get heavier and heavier. Along with the rain, the wind also picked up, and everyone's clothes got quite wet.

They finally arrived at the cave entrance. Zhao Lian went in first to make sure there was no danger before letting the others in one by one.

Although they had tarpaulins over their heads, everyone's clothes were still quite wet. The soaked clothes clung to their bodies, making them feel the chill of autumn in the summer heat.

Once inside the cave, everyone immediately felt much warmer. Despite the wind and rain outside, the cave remained completely quiet.

"Mom, I feel a little cold."

Da Ni's clothes were soaked through, and she started to feel cold. She hugged her chest with both hands, and she and Liu Yao shivered from the cold.

Sun Shangxiang said with a pained expression, "Look at you, your clothes are all soaked. How can you not be cold? Here, change your clothes first."

Sun Shangxiang opened the bundle. Fortunately, she had protected it well. Although her clothes were quite wet, the bundle was still dry.

Sun Shangxiang took out a set of clothes and had Da Nier change into them.

"Mom, with so many people watching, how can I change?" Da Ni hesitated, unwilling to change.

Sun Shangxiang was in a dilemma. There was nothing to cover her in the cave, and besides, Da Ni was a grown woman; it was really impossible for her to change clothes like this.

"Auntie, how about this~"

Zhao Lian came up with a good idea: she had Sun Shangxiang and Zheng Xiuzhen stand in a corner and pull up an oilcloth to create a private space where everyone could change clothes.

While they were changing clothes, Zhao Lian walked out of the cave and tilted her head back to get soaked in the rain. She couldn't remember how long it had been since she had taken a bath.

The rain pattered against her face and body, and Zhao Lian kept rubbing her face and neck with her hands, feeling as if she was rubbing off a thick layer of old dirt.

When Liu Laogen saw Zhao Lian go out into the rain, he hurriedly shouted, "Zhao Lian, come back quickly! Don't get soaked in the rain, you'll catch a cold!"

Zhao Lian ignored him. She didn't care about anything else now. It was finally raining, so of course she had to take a good shower. She didn't know how dirty her body was.

After washing her face and scrubbing her body through her clothes, Zhao Lian finally came in.

After the elderly and children changed their clothes, Liu Jinzhu and his brothers also went outside, shirtless and getting soaked in the rain, to scrub off the old mud.

I haven't taken a shower in a long time, and my body feels sticky and uncomfortable if I don't shower.

Before long, everyone had changed out of their wet clothes. Then they threw their dirty clothes on the big rock and let the rain wash them, which was a kind of indirect way of washing their clothes.

After changing into clean clothes, Zhao Lian finally felt much more comfortable and found a rock to sit on.

The rain outside was still falling, and rainwater kept drifting in. I didn't feel cold when I was in the rain, but now that I've changed my clothes and sat down, I feel a little chilly.

Zhao Lian looked around and saw some branches and dry grass in the corner. Suddenly, an idea struck her. Why hadn't she thought of that? There were grass and branches here; she had to quickly start a fire.

Everyone has been caught in the rain to varying degrees, so we need to warm ourselves by a fire to ward off the chill, lest we catch a cold.

Zhao Lian piled up the branches, placed some licorice underneath, then opened her bundle and took out a tinderbox.

The tinder looked a bit damp on the outside, and Zhaolian didn't know if it was completely soaked inside, so she quickly opened the lid to take a look.

Fortunately, it wasn't wet inside. Zhao Lian blew on it a few times, and sparks began to appear. She took a deep breath and blew on it a few more times, and the fire finally caught fire.

Zhao Lian quickly handed the tinder to the haystack, lit the hay, and soon the fire was blazing.

The fire was lit, and everyone immediately felt much warmer. Sun Shangxiang took out a pot she carried with her and boiled some water so that everyone could drink some and not catch a cold.

After drinking hot water and warming herself by the fire for a while, Zhao Lian felt warm. She put away the water gourd and took it to the cave entrance to collect water.

It's raining now, so we need to collect the rainwater while it's still wet.

In no time, Zhaolian had filled the water gourd completely with water. Then she took the wet clothes back from the stone and put them by the fire to dry.

The rain was still falling outside, and no one spoke. Liu Yao and Liu Yan were starting to feel sleepy and were dozing off.

Seeing that the two of them were dozing off, Yan Guihua quickly asked Zheng Xiuzhen to carry them to the big rock to sleep.

The rain outside isn't going to stop anytime soon, so we can't go anywhere and can only sit here for a short rest.
