Chapter 71
Going back to the house in time, avoiding the people who were drenched by the rain, they all breathed a sigh of relief, and then there was joy on their faces, now that it rains, there will be water!

Everyone quickly took out the wooden basins and large iron pots that could hold water, and put them outside to catch the rainwater, regardless of being drenched by the rain.

It was not too rainy at the beginning, everyone put away their things and hurried back into the house, took off their slightly wet clothes, and put them aside to dry.The people in the house have already lit the fire, leaving a little space in the middle, and lit a pile of fire. The house is not tight, but it is not afraid that the smoke will choke. After all, the doors and windows are broken, and the smoke It just floated out.

Pull back the dry grass that is sitting under you, and keep it a little away from the fire in the middle, so as not to be burned.

Jiayin looked at the fire burning in the middle of the room, which looked like it was about to disperse at any time, and said to Li Shi beside him, "Auntie, why don't you surround the fire with bricks? Are they all surrounded by stones? There are no stones here, but there are those adobe bricks."

Mrs. Li and the women next to her patted their foreheads when they heard the words, really, why didn't they think of it?

I hurried to pick up a few earth bricks under the eaves of the door and came back, surrounded a fire pool, so that the fire would not spread, and I was not afraid of being blown by the wind to the dry grass under them.

Mrs. Li put her arms around Jiayin, patted her head lovingly, and praised: "Our Jiayin is really smart, the aunts all forgot to do this, and now the fire has become a fire pit."

When it started to rain, the wind stopped, and the rain outside became heavier and heavier. From the sound of crackling raindrops, it has turned into a rushing sound. Although it is not like the heavy rain a few months ago, it is still a heavy rain.

But it didn't take long for the rain to stop. Of course, it was because Jiayin was good before and only covered two inches of rain.

Everyone was worried that the rain was too heavy to pour into the house, or the house would be washed down, but they were very happy when they heard that the rain stopped outside.

As long as it rains, there will be water. They don't want it to rain too much for too long, and they won't be able to travel if they are trapped here.

There are no villages in front of this place, and no shops in the back, unlike the mountains where there are prey and wild vegetables and mushrooms.

Even if it rains here, there won't be any wild vegetables on the ground, after all, it will be winter soon.If the spring is good, some wild vegetables may grow after the rain. It would be good to grow some weeds in this season, and it has to be the kind of weeds that are hardy.

Although the rain had stopped, it was getting late, so everyone stopped going out to make troubles.

Take out the dry food and roast it on the firepit for a while, and then eat it with the water in the bamboo tube.

After eating, he lay down on the hay and fell asleep in the heat of the firepit.

Early the next morning, the men went out to have a look and found that the road was a bit muddy, so they decided not to rush out and wait for the sun to come out to dry the ground before walking. Otherwise, the road would be too slippery and the elderly would fall and get hurt easily.

Everyone raised the firepit again, and the fire was extinguished in the middle of the night, because they lived in the house, and there was no vigil last night.

A large pot was set up on the firepit, just using the rainwater collected last night, put dry food, some bacon and dried vegetables and boiled it into a paste.

Everyone had a hot breakfast, and then put the water collected yesterday into bamboo tubes.

The rainwater was quite clean, there was no wind after the rain, and there was no dust or grass clippings in the water.

After the sun came out for a whole morning, at noon, they re-tied their things and put them on the car, or immediately, they set foot on the road to the south again.

After being nourished by the rain, there is no flying dust on the road, and there are still some puddles and mud in the places where there are pits.

They try their best to walk on the side of the road. There are weeds on the side of the road, and their shoes will not step on the mud when they step on it.

This time, Xiao Lingfei went out for a long time, and came back an hour later. When he came back, he shouted: "There is a village ahead, and there are people in the village!"
