Chapter 7 Rainy Night

The next morning.

Lu Jinnian got up at dawn and lit the fire. The morning air was very cold. Although they had a quilt, it was already tattered.

It was good for keeping out the cold, but people would dislike it if it was used as a cushion.

The cotton inside had already become knotted, and there were several places exposed. Without rags and needles, it was difficult to mend it.

"Sister, should we continue to move forward?" Lu Jinxin's eyes were without any light, and she felt that there was no hope ahead.

The other two people had the same expression, especially her younger brother Lu Jinqiu. He was so young and had experienced so much, he didn't know and couldn't understand.

Seeing the expressions of these children, Lu Jinnian looked up at the sky. It was gloomy today, and it was probably going to rain.

After thinking for a while, she said, "We still have to move forward. Let's see if there is a suitable place to settle down first."

The suitable place would be the place that would accept them at the end of the month, but when they thought of the rejection before, the children didn't speak.

They walked along the river for a whole morning, and it suddenly drizzled at noon.

It looked like they couldn't go any further, but they had no place to shelter from the rain, and it was too dangerous in the woods. It

would be fine if it kept drizzling, but if there was a thunderstorm, it would be easy to be hit by lightning.

This embarrassing situation made Lu Jinnian very upset. But she couldn't take the children to hide in the space, so she could only find a place outside.

Seeing a lush tree not far away, she hurriedly took people there to hide from the rain.

Because it was raining and it was approaching autumn, the weather was particularly cold after the rain.

The nearby branches were all wet, and they couldn't make a fire, so everyone could only snuggle together to keep each other warm.

Lu Jinnian looked at the sky getting darker and darker, and it didn't feel good.

If they continued to walk at this time, it was very likely that the children would get sick.

She stood up and said, "You stay here, I'll go find some firewood."

"Sister, we'll go with you, and I can also collect firewood." Lu Jinxin was very sensible and wanted to help.

But it's not possible now. Lu Jinnian shook her head and said, "Be obedient, you stay here, big sister, rest assured. I'll go collect

firewood and come back soon." She couldn't let them go with her now, otherwise how could she smuggle firewood? The branches outside were already wet. She had collected some firewood before and saved it, which could handle the whole night.

Seeing her say this, the three little ones stayed where they were, waiting for her to come back.

Leaving here, Lu Jinnian looked at the trees around her and the flat terrain. She felt that this place was also suitable for building a home.

It's okay to build a house here, but how to waterproof the roof?

She walked around and the rain was still drizzling, not heavy.

Seeing a pheasant nest, Lu Jinnian took out the bow and arrow from the space, just an ordinary bow and arrow.

Aiming at a pheasant perched inside, she directly released the bowstring.

There was only a "swoosh" sound, and it hit the head directly. From

pulling up the bowstring to putting it down, she completed it in an instant, very steady.

Before the end of the world, Lu Jinnian was a member of the national team, and his bow and arrow were very accurate.

Moreover, in the end of the world, everyone else had wooden crossbows, but she had a special crossbow and a special bow and arrow.

Being strong doesn't mean she can fight with bare hands. After all, zombies are not human beings, and a small wound can be fatal, so she should fight as far as possible. She

ran over swiftly and picked up the pheasant, then collected the arrows on its head, twisted off the pheasant's head directly, and put it in the space.

Although this head is broken, it cannot be thrown away. Coming from the end of the world, she cherishes resources very much.

This pheasant's head can be used as bait for fishing.

There are still a dozen eggs in the nest. Although they are small, they are better than nothing and can provide nutrition for the children.

Lu Jinnian carried the pheasant and a bundle of firewood on his back, and then returned to the big tree.

When her brothers and sisters saw her coming back, they all had happy smiles on their faces.

"Big sister, we picked up some branches nearby and didn't go far." Lu Jincheng gestured to her to look at the firewood on the ground.

These branches were no longer dry, but they could be maintained.

Because he was afraid that she would be unhappy, he also explained that he only picked them up nearby and didn't go far.

Lu Jinnian smiled and said, "Okay, you guys start a fire first, I'll go wash the pheasant."

She put the firewood on the ground and the pheasant eggs next to it.

As for starting a fire, Lu Jinxin made a fire starter a few days ago, so there is no need to worry about not having a fire source.

Although it is better to remove the feathers of the pheasant, she just skinned it for the sake of speed.

It is destined to be very cold tonight, and she needs to get enough rest and get up early tomorrow to build the house.

Of course, the house she is talking about is just a shack. Without any tools, she can only make a shack to shelter from the wind and rain.

If they continue to walk, it is estimated that no village will take them in, so they will settle down here. In the future, when conditions gradually improve, they can buy a house.

In the evening, everyone had a meal of roasted chicken. Because there was no pot, they could not eat soup or boil eggs.

Looking at the satisfied expressions of his brothers and sisters, Lu Jinnian felt a little helpless.

The current situation is indeed easy to satisfy, but the most important thing is to change the status quo as soon as possible.

The cool breeze blew at night, and the brothers and sisters sat together to sleep, covered with a worn-out quilt.

Lu Jinnian looked at their quiet sleeping faces with a smile on his face.

It must be said that these children are too pitiful. Their parents passed away and they encountered natural disasters.

The original owner also died. If she hadn't come, I'm afraid these three children would have died long ago...

She looked up and watched the rain gradually stop. The air was filled with the smell of soil.

I still have to work hard in the future to keep these poor children well fed and warm.

The next morning, just after dawn, Lu Jinnian built a fire. Yesterday's food had been eaten. The eggs were wrapped in leaves and burned two per person.

Looking at the fire, the children kept swallowing their saliva.

I really want to eat...

Lu Jinxin licked her dry lips and said, "Sister, how long will we have to walk?"

Seeing that autumn was approaching, she knew that the weather would get colder and colder.

Hearing this, Lu Jinnian replied, "No, we're not going to walk anymore. We'll build a shack here. I'll hunt for you in the future, so we won't starve to death." If she

could starve to death with a space, then she would be a miserable time traveler. If she

told others about it, they would laugh their heads off in the time travel world!

When they heard that they were not going to walk anymore, the children were very happy, because if they continued to walk, they couldn't hold on.

Especially in the past two days, they had a full stomach and started to think about more things.

In the past, I was so hungry that I didn't have any strength, so how could I have the energy to think about other things?

"That's great!" Lu Jinxin looked at her with a smile, full of longing for the future life.

She believed that things would get better and better in the future, and she wouldn't starve to death!

With her elder sister around, she would grow up quickly and help find food together!

I recommend a period novel. If you like period novels, you can go and have a look.
