Chapter 70
Xiaoling doesn't know how to do arithmetic and doesn't know how far the distance is. Jiayin knows that it is at least five miles away, but since it is said to be an empty village, there shouldn't be any danger.

Everyone followed Xiao Ling and continued to walk along the path. Anyway, their direction remained the same, all the way to the south, and they would only detour when they encountered danger.

After walking for an hour, I arrived at the village that Xiao Ling mentioned. This is a very small village with only a dozen or so households.The adobe houses have collapsed, and it doesn't look like they were abandoned after the Yue people came, they should have been abandoned a long time ago.

They went into those houses and took a look. They were all empty and there was nothing there. There was a well in the center of the village, but it had been wiped out. It is possible that the villagers left the village because the well was dry. In a severe drought, life will only be more difficult in such a place where the two sides do not rely on each other.

They looked at the large piece of land nearby. It used to be a field, but now it has become a barren meadow.

Fang Yunping sighed and said: "It seems that the rain was only on our side at that time, and it didn't rain at all here. It seems that the weeds don't seem to grow this year. It should be from the past. No one has cared about it. If If it rains here, the grass won't be as dry as this."

After hearing this, Jiayin rolled her eyes. She seemed to have heard her father say that she was too young to spread rain in such a large area, probably only Qiyang County was included, right?
Then I couldn't help thinking, should I have another rain at night?But if they eat and sleep in the open, will they get wet from the rain?After all, there is no place to put those grains or anything to cover them, after all, the tarpaulins have already set up tents.

I looked at the village again. If there is a house that can shelter from the wind and rain, I can take shelter from the rain.But after looking at these houses, she scanned them with her spiritual sense. There were more than a dozen courtyards, but none of the roofs were good, either collapsed or had big holes.
Fang Yunping discussed with everyone and decided not to stay here. After all, it is not yet noon, so let's continue on our way.

A group of people continued to move forward, passing through several villages on the way, all of which were in the same situation as the first village, with houses collapsed.

Until it got dark, another village appeared on the side of the road. This village was a little bigger. They decided to rest here. Even if the roof leaked, it was better than setting up a tent. At least there are four walls to block the wind, right?

As a result, I found a few better houses in the village. They were said to be better, but there were no big holes in the roof.

There are three wells in this village, but none of them have water. I also know that if there is water, the people in this village will not leave.

Looking at the water in the bamboo tubes of the people, Jiayin decided to spread the rain once. Even if it leaks, at most, the oilcloth should be covered on the roof first, and it shouldn't be a big problem.

Just do it, when they pushed the car into the yard and put it away, the horses were also led into a room.

Suddenly there was a cool breeze outside, dark clouds gathered, and thunder rolled in the sky...

Everyone was startled, and ran out quickly. Before the rain came, they unloaded everything from the car and put it inside the house.

The young and middle-aged people all stepped on the wall to the roof, covered the places that felt like leaks with grass mats and tarpaulins, and then pressed them with earth bricks.

The thunder rang for a long time, but the rain did not come down.

After they sorted out the six houses, everyone could live in them. They put the five horses and Liuliu in the same house, and made a lot of hay to spread on the ground.

Fortunately, there were a lot of weeds outside, so it was easy to get some hay. After laying it on the ground, I picked up all the bad wood outside and brought it into the house, and squeezed out an open space for lighting a fire.

It was already relatively cold today, and with the rain, it would only be colder at night. If there was no fire, the elderly and children might not be able to hold on.

As soon as they packed up and entered the house, big raindrops fell, as if they were stuck...
