The woods were cold and damp in the morning, but as soon as the sun came out, the temperature rose sharply. The weather in the past few days has been really abnormal. It shouldn't be so hot walking in the mountains with trees covering the sky everywhere.

Now the reality is completely the opposite. The air is hot and humid, making it hard to breathe. It felt like it was going to rain yesterday, but the sun still rose on time today, with no sign of rain.

They set out late, and both people and livestock had replenished their food and nutrition, so they walked much faster. They did not stop at noon and continued on their journey.

The children felt that everything was new and exciting in the first part of the journey, but they could not walk in the latter part, so they either sat on ox carts, flatbed carts or wheelbarrows.

By the way, Lin Zicheng's butt is finally healed. After applying the pink powder that Lin Rui gave him twice, the swelling and redness subsided very quickly. Although his walking posture is a bit awkward now, at least it doesn't take up space on the cart and he can still pile his stuff on it.

Lin Zicheng and Tan Ying's daughter Xiangxiang sat on the cart, looking eagerly: "Dad, I'm so thirsty!"

The sun was high in the sky and we were sweating all the way. Not to mention the children, even the adults were so thirsty that they couldn't stand it.

Lin Zicheng was also thirsty. His throat was almost smoking, but he still did not forget to comfort his daughter: "Xiangxiang, wait a little longer, your uncle will find some water."

Tan Ying glanced at her husband and asked, "Are you sure?"

Now, Lin Zicheng trusts Lin Rui much more than Lin Pingmao. After all, the village head believed his cousin's words and chose to leave Linjia Village.

"Lin Rui can definitely do it." Lin Zicheng said confidently.

Ever since the powder Lin Rui gave him cured his red and swollen buttocks, Lin Zicheng has gained more and more confidence in Lin Rui.

Lin Rui, the protagonist of their conversation, was panting heavily. San Liang looked at Lin Rui worriedly while pushing the wheelbarrow. "Master, are you okay?"

Sanliang thought his master was good in every way, but why was his physical condition so poor that he felt weak after walking a few steps? How could he be healthy? He wouldn't even be able to find a wife if he were in their village!

Lin Rui waved his hands, too tired to say a word.

When people get hot, their tempers become bad. Zhang Dacui was sweating all over. There were many spider webs in the forest, and it was very uncomfortable to get them on her face and hands.

He walked while cursing, "Lin Changhe, you are a worthless person. You just believe whatever others say. You have a good life but suffer this plague!"

Lin Zicheng couldn't bear to listen any longer: "Mom, please stop talking. We all had a hand in making this decision. Life is a bit hard now. It's not good for everyone in the family to be together!"

"Chengzi, what do you mean everyone has a say in the decision? Did the father you instigated give us any room for choice? Yangzi and I don't want to leave, does father agree? He would rather sell all the paddy fields and wasteland at home than leave us two acres."

"Our father loves you so much. He will live with you in the future. In other families, the eldest son always gets the most property. But in our family, he listens to the youngest son's words. We, as his brother and sister-in-law, are completely ashamed. We are not afraid of being laughed at if we tell others about it."

The speaker was Lin Ziyang's daughter-in-law Lu Hua. Apart from Zhang Dacui, she was the one who made the most sense in leaving Linjia Village. The fields at home were tidy and there was not a single weed to be seen. The crops in the fields were about to be harvested.

As a result, it was sold at a low price of just two cents. All the blood and sweat she had shed in the fields was gone just like that.

At this time, Lu Hua spoke in a sarcastic tone, but her eyes were spitting fire.

Lin Ziyang tugged at his wife's sleeve and said, "Alright, stop talking now. You haven't learned your lesson from what your sister-in-law said about her family's situation. Our Linjia Village isn't even half the size of theirs. If thugs and bandits really came into the village, they'd be chopped to pieces!"

Lu Hua was so angry that she pinched her husband's arm hard.

Lin Ziyang sucked in a breath of cold air and looked at her angrily: "Lu Hua, behave yourself!"

"Why am I restless? What did I say wrong? I have a good life but I have to suffer like this. Even if you don't love me, I have to love your child too!"

Lin Ziyang shouted, "I insisted on leaving just for the sake of the child. You were not happy before I left. Fine, I said I could get a divorce and give you some money. You could go back to your parents' home and remarry. It was you who disagreed, so you followed us on the road."

"Since we're already on the road, don't say such depressing words. Isn't our uncle, the head of the village, having a hard time? Everyone is having a hard time, so don't make things worse."

Lin Ziyang said angrily that it was already a hot and humid day and one would sweat if one moved at all. Lu Hua still wanted to pick a fight. It would be strange if one was in a good mood.

Lin Ziyang's angry outburst not only made his mother and wife calm down, but also made the other complaining women in the team quiet down and continue on their journey honestly.

Lin Rui felt that his legs were walking mechanically, and he managed to hold out a little longer than yesterday.

During these two or three days, we walked non-stop for nearly twenty kilometers. It was not a long distance, but it was entirely due to the complex terrain of the mountain. Fortunately, there were experienced hunters like Zhao Qing, so we did not get lost in the woods.

Lin Pingmao, who was sitting on an oxcart at the front of the team, looked up at the sky and said, "It's expected to rain today. We should prepare early."

His son Lin Changshou, who was following behind, took a look and said, "Dad, I don't think it will rain. It was much hotter yesterday than today, and we didn't see a drop of rain!"

Lin Pingmao swallowed to lubricate his dry throat and pointed his skinny finger towards the sky. "It's different. Look, the dark clouds are coming. How can there be no wind in the mountains? Our area is like it's frozen. It's definitely going to rain, and it's going to be heavy."

Lin Rui was so hot that he looked up at the sky. It was covered with dark clouds, and the daylight was immediately blocked out. At this time, the wind in the mountains began to flow, but the wind speed was a little beyond the limit, and people were almost blown up.

The strong wind blew up dead branches and rotten leaves, hitting people on the heads and faces. Children like Niu Niu, Ya Ya and Xiang Xiang were actually blown away, and their parents immediately hugged them in their arms.

Lin Pingmao was about to ask everyone to find a place to shelter from the rain, but Zhao Qing shouted, "Uncle Village Head, our current location is not good. It's in a low-lying area, and if it rains heavily and long, it will easily accumulate water. Let's go a little further and find a suitable place."

"Okay, okay! Big guy, please walk faster and try to find a place to hide before the rain starts."

The wind is cold when it blows on the body, immediately lowering the body temperature and making people feel like winter has arrived in an instant.

Needless to say by Lin Pingmao, everyone just unleashed their last potential, leading the oxen and pushing the carts and moving forward silently. Their ox carts were not covered with waterproof cloth like Lin Rui's family's. If they got wet by the rain, they would get moldy and rotten and people would not be able to eat them.
