Chapter 51
Chapter 51
The heavy rain continued for half a month, and all the firewood cut back before had been used up.
As for the coal brought, the amount is not much, and it can only last for a few days.
Fortunately, on the second day after the coal ran out, the rain stopped temporarily.
After breakfast, Lu Changge, Li Tugen and Leng Yan took the hatchet and left the cave.
Half a month has passed, and they don't know what's going on down the mountain, so the three plan to go down the mountain to find out the situation.
Da Teng still stayed outside the cave and Er Teng went out with his master.
Er Teng went down the mountain one step ahead of his master, but before reaching the foot of the mountain, there was no way.
The torrential rain that lasted for half a month has flooded the foot of the mountain.
[Master, the foot of the mountain is flooded. ]
[How is the situation in the village? ] Lu Changge asked.
Hearing the owner's inquiry, Er Teng stuck its roots into the soil, and the rattan spread and grew around.
Not long after, Erto saw a cave 500 meters up from the foot of the mountain, where many people stayed.
[The village was probably also flooded, and they hid in a cave. ] Erto said.
[Look again to see if there are other people in the mountain. ] Lu Changge thought for a while and ordered.
[Good master. ]
Erto shifted his position and continued to search.
Although Lu Changge got the answer, Li Tugen and Leng Yan didn't know yet.
So they still have to go down the mountain.
After walking for more than half an hour, I finally arrived at Erto's position just now.
Li Tugen was stunned when he saw that the place that was still some way away from the foot of the mountain was directly submerged by water.
"Lu...Uncle Lu, the foot of the mountain is gone!"
"En." Lu Changge responded, then turned and walked up the mountain.
"Let's go back."
Seeing that Uncle Lu was leaving, Li Tugen quickly turned around and followed.
Leng Yan, who had only taken a few steps, stopped suddenly, looked back at Jin Cheng's direction, and finally followed without saying a word.
"Uncle Lu, how long do you think the rain will last? Will it last the next year like the previous drought?" Li Tugen asked ramblingly as he walked.
"will not."
In the next year, the mountains will be flooded for you.
"Really? How long will it last? Could it be half a year..."
"Up to three months."
On the other side, Erto has searched the entire mountain.
Except for them and the people in the village, there was no one else on the mountain.
[Master, I couldn't find it. Apart from us, there are only people from the village in this mountain. ]
[Um. ]
Unable to go down the mountain to investigate the situation, Lu Changge and the three had no choice but to go back first.
Before going back, he cut down all the firewood that will be used in the next half month.
Lu Changge and Leng Yan each pulled back five logs that had been stripped of leaves.
Li Tugen was weaker than them in size and strength, so he managed to pull three.
After pulling back and having lunch, the three of them split the wood into firewood of suitable thickness and length.
Then stack it on the porch and let it dry for a few days.
In the evening, it started raining again.
It was a drizzle at first, but then the drops got bigger and fell faster.
At six o'clock in the evening, the heavy rain turned into a torrential rain.
The sound of rain hitting the leaves was urgent and loud, and the sound of rushing rain rang in my ears, and the more I listened, the more deafening I felt.
It's just that someone is talking next to him, and the voice is a little hard to hear.
The little guys who were watching the rain on the promenade saw that the rain was getting bigger and bigger, so they hurried into the cave.
Only Dahei and Erhei were not affected at all, laying motionless on the corridor to rest.
"Daddy, it's raining heavily outside!" Tuanzi ran to his father.
"En." Lu Changge responded, and poured a basin of warm water into the stone house.
"Tuanzi, go into the house and wash your feet."
"Oh!"
Seeing this, the other little ones also went back to their houses to get ready to sleep.
After washing his face and soaking his feet, Lu Changge helped Tuanzi dry his feet, and then carried him to the bed.
After getting into bed, Tuanzi got into bed directly.
After pouring the water and returning, Lu Changge took off his coat, lifted the quilt and went to bed.
Su Qingyun, who was lying on the side, shrank back to make room for the husband.
"Daddy, are we going to live here forever?" Xiaotuanzi turned sideways and looked at where Daddy and Mu's father were on the bed.
Of course, the room was too dark, and Tuanzi could only vaguely see some dark shadows.
"No, we'll leave when the rain stops." Lu Changge answered Tuanzi's question while reaching out to hug his daughter-in-law.
The stone wall is hard and cold, so my daughter-in-law can't touch it.
"Oh, that's good..." Tuanzi breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that.
Su Qingyun found a comfortable position in Xianggong's arms and lay down quietly.
Hearing what Tuanzi said, Su Qingyun asked again: "Don't Tuanzi like this place?"
"Hmm... I don't like it." Tuanzi hesitated, but chose to tell the truth.
"That's good, Father Mu and Dad don't like it either." Su Qingyun smiled.
The father and son chatted quietly for a while.
While chatting, Tuanzi replied in a daze, and then fell asleep.
Su Qingyun still couldn't sleep, she was lying in Xianggong's arms and whispering to him.
Not long after, Su Qingyun also fell asleep.
The daughter-in-law and children were asleep, and Lu Changge also fell into a light sleep.
The next morning, Lu Changge's biological clock rang on time.
Gradually regaining consciousness, Lu Changge was not in a hurry to get up, but lay on the bed with his wife in his arms.
Hearing the faint sound of rain coming from outside, he knew that today was another rainy day.
When Su Qingyun woke up, she found herself lying in a fiery embrace.
The man doesn't seem to have woken up yet.
"Master..." Su Qingyun opened her eyes slightly and called out in a vague voice.
"Are you awake?" A low, hoarse voice sounded from above his head.
Then, the palm on his waist moved.
"Hmm... isn't it still early?" Su Qingyun closed her eyes, planning to sleep for a while.
Usually when he wakes up, the husband is already up.
Now... he must have gotten up early.
"No, it's past eight o'clock."
"Then why are you sorry..."
"It's raining outside."
"Oh..." Su Qingyun responded, and fell asleep again in a daze.
After sleeping for about 10 minutes, Su Qingyun finally woke up.
At this moment, there was no longer any Xianggong on the bed.
Er Bao's crib was also moved out.
Staying in a dark place for a long time will have an impact on your health or vision.
The light in the stone house was too dark, except for sleeping at night, Lu Changge or Su Qingyun would stay at the entrance of the cave with Erbao in their arms at other times.
Or take a stool and sit on the porch.
Even for Tuanzi, Lu Changge didn't allow him to stay in the stone house for too long.
Today is still a rainy day, with heavy rainfall and no wind.
After breakfast, everyone took stools and sat on the corridors on both sides to chat.
There is nothing to do on rainy days. They usually watch the rain outside, chat, and then spend the day boringly.
As Lu Changge expected, the rain continued for another half a month before it stopped.
They went up the mountain in early June and had been in the mountain for a month.
In July, the weather started to get muggy, but the temperature inside the stone house was still a little lower than outside.
The woolen blanket on the stone bed was still padded, but the quilt covering the body was replaced with a thin one.
Taking advantage of the rain stopping today, Lu Changge, Li Tugen and Leng Yan went out to prepare firewood again.
As usual, they went down the mountain to check the situation first.
However, after walking for a long time, I saw that the trees in front of me had been cut down from a distance.
Like thick hair with a bald patch in the middle.
[Nitou, look around to see if there are people around. ]
[Good master. ]
Lu Changge saw it, and Li Tugen and Leng Yan who were following him also saw it.
"So many trees have been cut down, so there are other people in the mountain?" Li Tugen wondered.
Then think about it, the foot of the mountain is submerged, and normal people will definitely hide on the mountain.
[Master, people from Jincheng have escaped, and I saw Jin Bao's uncle. ] Erto said suddenly.
[How's it going? ] Lu Changge asked.
[Those who find a cave live in a cave, those who don't find one cut down trees to build a wooden house... However, something is wrong with Jin Bao's uncle. ]
[explain. ]
[It seems that they have a fever, only a small guard is taking care of them, and the people in the cave seem to want to drive them out. ] Erto quietly crawled over to get closer.
[Say location. ]
Erto told the master the specific location, and then climbed closer to watch the excitement.
When Lu Changge brought Li Tugen and the others here casually, Jin Bao's uncle had already been kicked out.
Seeing the little prince, the expressionless Leng Yan ran over in an instant and helped the little prince who was about to fall.
"Fifth Brother..." Seeing the cold-faced guard, the little guard was stunned.
"What's the matter?" asked coldly.
"Master got wet in the rain before and got hot, those people drove us out..."
"What about the rest?"
"...was washed away by the water." The little guard said with reddened eyes.
As for life or death, there is no need to say clearly.
Leng Yan was silent for a moment, and then picked up the little prince.
Because he met Jin Bao's uncle, Lu Changge asked Leng Yan to take him back first.
He and Li Tugen continued to chop firewood.
As for the other people in the mountains, in order to avoid trouble, Lu Changge directly found another direction to avoid them.
Before lunch, Lu Changge and Li Tugen dragged a total of eight logs back.
Putting the wood aside, Lu Changge walked into the cave and entered Jinbao's house.
Jin Bao's uncle was lying on the bed with his eyes closed, and under him was a spare woolen blanket brought by Su Qingyun.
Seeing Uncle Lu came back, Jin Bao ran over excitedly as if seeing a savior.
"Uncle Lu, what's wrong with my uncle? They all said he just had a fever, but my uncle slept for a long time!"
"It's just a fever. I'll go out and find some herbs later." Seeing that Jin Bao's eyes were red, Lu Changge patted him on the head to comfort him.
"Thank you Uncle Lu!" Jin Bao said in a choked voice.
