If the rain continues for several days, we will be completely doomed.

If you can't light a fire, you can't cook! You'll definitely be hungry.

Just as Lin Jiuyue was thinking hard, Gu Chengyan spoke.

"Look, what's that over there?"

Lin Jiuyue looked in the direction of Gu Chengyan's finger, only to see that Gu Chengyan's eyes fell on a large rock.

The stone is not big, only the size of a small table, but the surface of the stone is relatively flat. If it can be moved under the oilcloth to shelter from the rain, cooking on the stone will definitely not be a problem.

However, even if he could set up a pot and light a fire, this person would only be able to stand on the mud.

Even so, Lin Jiuyue was eager to try.

"Gu Chengyan, Qiye, the two of you use your hoes to dig a drainage ditch around the tarpaulin. It doesn't have to be too wide, just dig the area covered by the tarpaulin. I'll go move the stone over here."

After Lin Jiuyue finished speaking, she ran directly to the stone, picked up the stone and ran back.

After placing the stones under the tarpaulin, Lin Jiuyue did not rest and started digging a drainage ditch with Lin Qiye and Gu Chengyan.

None of the three were weaklings, and it didn't take long for them to dig a drainage ditch around the tarpaulin.

The accumulated water that had spread here was gone now.

Seeing this, Lin Jiuyue was a little satisfied.

Although the soil on the ground is still a little wet, at least the water is not leaking.

Plus, there is some grass on the ground, so your feet won’t get too much mud on them.

"Okay, now as long as there's no flood, we can cook."

Fearing that the firewood would get soaked by the heavy rain, Lin Jiuyue decided to start cooking now. And she had to cook more. Even if the firewood got soaked, the three of them wouldn't starve.

The three of them worked together and quickly set up the pot and took out the food from the mule cart. After cooking the rice, they took out some dried meat and stir-fried it with some dried vegetables.

After the food was ready, Lin Jiuyue left enough for the three of them for one day, and planned to eat the rest later.

It is raining so heavily that it is impossible to travel today.

Lin Jiuyue and the other two looked at the heavy rain outside the tarpaulin and suddenly felt that rain was not a good thing.

At least for me now, it is not a good thing.

"Oh, when will this rain stop?"

Lin Qiye sighed.

The three of them hid under the oilcloth, so they were not exposed to the rain, but it was not very convenient to sleep!

You can't just sleep on the wet grass, right?

You can sleep on the mule cart, but there are some supplies on it, and the mule cart is not big, so it can only accommodate one person.

"Qi Ye, go sleep on the mule cart for a while, and the three of us will take turns sleeping."

It is impossible not to sleep. If there are no conditions, then create them.

Lin Qiye looked at the mule cart.

"There's something on that mule cart..."

Lin Jiuyue slapped Lin Qiye on the head.

"If there's something, there's something. You can't crush it anyway."

"No, I'm afraid it will hurt me."

Lin Jiuyue was speechless.

"You're still picking? In this situation, you're lucky to have a place to lie down. Don't be ungrateful."

Lin Qiye glanced at Gu Chengyan with some resentment.

If Gu Chengyan hadn't been there, my sister and I would have probably been sleeping in the space by now. Why would we even need to sleep in a mule cart?

"All right."

The three of them tidied up the mule cart, making sure it wouldn't be too bumpy and wouldn't damage the supplies on it. Only then did Lin Qiye lie down and go to sleep.

"I don't know where the village chief and the others are now. Have they found a place to shelter from the rain?"

Lin Jiuyue muttered to herself.

The village chief's family is pretty nice. After getting to know each other, Lin Jiuyue still hopes that the village chief and his family can reach their destination safely.

"I don't know. There's no point in overthinking it. We can barely protect ourselves right now."

Time flies, a day has passed, but the rain has not stopped.

The water on the ground is getting deeper and deeper.

Lin Jiuyue looked at the ground that was almost impossible to step on, and her mood became irritated.

This is despite the long drought. If there had been no drought before, it would probably be impossible to set foot here now.

"When will this rain stop? If it keeps falling like this, there will be floods right after the drought ends."

Lin Jiuyue and the other two were fine in the mountains because the terrain was relatively high and there wasn't too much water.

At the foot of the mountains, and even in the city, the water is probably already above the ankles, right?

In this era, the city's drainage system is not as good as it is in the 21st century, so flooding is easy to occur when it rains. I don't know what the current situation in the city is.

Just as Lin Jiuyue and the others had expected, the water in the city had already reached ankles. Those in the city hadn't expected the rain to last all day. Some people were already starting to worry.

The situation was even worse for those fleeing famine. They didn't even have a place to hide from the rain. Some were even left in the rain all day. Not only were they soaking wet, but some had already started to develop fevers.

Another day passed, and the rain finally subsided. Lin Jiuyue happily began to cook, planning to continue her journey once the rain stopped.

Who knew that although the rain was getting lighter, it never stopped.

Although it was not as heavy as before, the drizzle kept falling and there was no way to hurry on.

"Let's cook the food first. Once the rain stops, we'll set off."

Gu Chengyan said as he set up the pot.

It had been raining for two days, and the temperature was dropping rapidly. The originally hot weather suddenly became chilly.

Lin Jiuyue had no choice but to take out the clothes she had prepared earlier and put them on for the three of them.

"Fortunately, I was smart and bought a little bit of everything, otherwise we would be in trouble now."

After the meal was ready, the rain slowly stopped.

The three of them hurriedly packed up their things and hurried on their way.

Without the villagers dragging them down, Lin Jiuyue and the other two moved very quickly. Before dark, they finally found a cave.

"Let's rest here tonight. We'll continue our journey tomorrow morning."

It rained for two days, so Lin Jiuyue and the other two stayed there for two days. After finally coming across a cave, Lin Jiuyue decided to take a good rest before continuing on his journey.

During the two days of rain, the three of them had been hiding under the tarpaulin and hadn't had a proper meal. Now that they had finally found a cave, Lin Jiuyue decided to cook something delicious to reward herself!

After dinner, Lin Jiuyue took out a quilt and spread it on the ground, and the three of them slept on the ground.

In the middle of the night, Lin Jiuyue suddenly felt the temperature drop sharply. She instantly had a bad feeling.

Lin Jiuyue tightened her clothes and sat up. She added a little more firewood to the still-burning fire.

At this moment, Gu Chengyan also woke up.
