Traveling through ancient times to flee from famine, take the time and space gate with you
Chapter 71: On the Road After the Rain
Everyone who returned to the house in time and escaped being caught in the rain breathed a deep sigh of relief, and then there was joy on their faces. Now when 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, not caring about getting caught in the rain.
It started to rain not too much now, so everyone put their things away and hurried back into the house. They took off their slightly wet clothes and put them aside to dry. The people in the house had already lit the fire.
, leaving a little open space in the middle, lit a fire. The house was not tight, but I was not afraid that the smoke would choke me. After all, the doors and windows were broken, and the smoke drifted out directly.
Gather the hay sitting under you back and a little away from the fire in the middle to avoid being burned.
Jiayin looked at the fire burning in the middle of the room, looking like it was about to disperse at any moment, and said to Mrs. Li next to her: "Auntie, why don't you surround that fire with bricks? When we were in Shan'ao'ao, we couldn't light the fire.
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 this. Really, why didn't they think of this?
They quickly went to pick up a few adobe bricks from under the eaves of the door and built a fire pit around it, so that the fire would not spread and the wind would not blow the sparks to the hay under them.
Mrs. Li hugged Jiayin, touched her head lovingly, and praised: "Our Jiayin is so smart, the aunts have forgotten to do it like this, and now the fire has turned into a fire pit."
The wind had stopped when it started to rain. The rain outside was getting heavier and heavier. The sound of crackling raindrops had turned into a gurgling sound. Although it was not like the heavy rain a few months ago, it was still a heavy rain.
However, the rain stopped not long after it started raining. This was of course because the weather was good before the good news, and only two inches of rain fell.
Everyone was originally worried that the heavy rain would pour into the house or collapse the house, but suddenly they heard that the rain outside had stopped, and they were very happy.
As long as it rains, there will be water, and they don't want it to rain too hard for too long, trapping them here and making it impossible to move on.
There is no village in the front or no shop in the back, unlike in the mountains where there are game, wild vegetables and mushrooms.
Even if it rains here, there won't be any wild vegetables on the ground. After all, it's going to be winter soon. If the spring is okay, some wild vegetables may grow after the rain. It would be good to have some wild grasses growing this season.
It's that kind of cold-resistant weed.
Although the rain had stopped, it was already getting late, so everyone stopped going out to play.
I took out the dry food and roasted it a little on the fire pit, then ate it with the water in the bamboo tube.
After eating, I lay down on the hay and fell into a deep sleep under the warmth of the fire pit.
Early the next morning, the men went out to take a look and found that the road was a little muddy, so they decided not to set off in a hurry and wait for the sun to come out to dry the ground before leaving. Otherwise, the road would be too slippery and the old men would fall and get injured.
Everyone raised the fire pit again, and the fire was out by midnight. Because we lived in a house, there was no one to keep watch last night.
A large pot was set up on the fire pit, and the rainwater collected last night was used to boil dry food, some bacon and dried vegetables into a paste.
Everyone had a warm 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 waiting for the sun to shine all morning, at noon, they tied up everything again, put it in the car, or immediately set off on the road south again.
After being moistened by the rain, there is no flying dust on the road. Where there are potholes, there is still some water and mud.
They walked as far as possible to the roadside. There were weeds on the roadside, and their shoes would not touch mud when they stepped on them.
This time Xiaoling flew 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!"
