Chapter 32 Heavy Rain

When Su Qian returned to the stone house, he found that there was a faint orange light in it.

That is the light from the burning candle.

Su Qian carried a clean stone into the room and blocked the wooden door with it.

"Ah Qian, how are you? There won't be any more earthquakes, right?"

Su Xi slowly approached her, hugged her arm and asked in a low voice.

At this moment, the sea breeze outside was blowing stronger and stronger, and its roaring sound could be heard through the stone house.

"It's okay. It will just rain for two days at most. Let's go to bed early!"

Su Qian spoke softly to the panicked crowd.

"Sister, Yi'er also wants to sleep next to you."

The little girl climbed up from her mother's arms, slowly approached Su Qian, and spoke to her in her clear childish voice.

Su Qian couldn't help but touch her head and said softly, "Okay."

Su Yi hadn't spoken more than three sentences in the few days since coming to the island. Now she took the initiative to get close to him. Su Qian felt that she had made a lot of progress.

He pulled Su Yi into his arms and couldn't help but stroke her tense back with his hands.

Su Mu's eyes were filled with envy and uneasiness, but in the end he still leaned tightly against his mother.

Gu Luyun looked outside with a worried look on her face, but finally blew out the candles and fell asleep while hugging Su Mu.

Tonight, Su Qian did not meditate again, but slowly lay down with Su Yi in his arms.

And Su Xi was also sitting closely next to her.

Accompanied by the sound of raging wind and the faint smell of sulfur, everyone slowly fell asleep.

The next morning, Su Qian was awakened by the roar of thunder and the sound of heavy rain hitting the stone house!

Looking at Su Yi who was still sleeping in her arms, she took a deep breath.

Su Xi, who slept next to her last night, was not seen. He must have gone back to his own stone house next door.

Gu Luyun, who was standing by, took out some cooked clams and handed them to her, "Ah Qian, come and eat something!"

Su Qian watched as the tarpaulin on the ground at the door was lifted, revealing soft gravel.

The big iron pot in their home was placed on two stones.

The wooden door was half-open, and several wooden barrels and basins were placed at the door to collect rain water.

"Oh, I forgot to bring back some firewood!"

Gu Luyun muttered quietly, "Yesterday, when you said it was going to rain heavily, I hurriedly cooked these clams and forgot to go get some firewood."

Su Qian also frowned slightly. How could she have forgotten such an important thing?

Flipping through the trading market screen in her mind, she soon found what she needed.

coal!

5 cents per pound, not expensive at all!

"Mom, I prepared some coal. It's in the jade pendant space. I'll take it out!"

She replaced about 20 kilograms of coal and piled it near the iron pot. Then she waved her hand and took out a small bag of rice.

She exchanged this at the trading market before going to bed yesterday.

Because the space of the jade pendant was too empty and floating, she felt uneasy.

She used the money in her account to exchange for large quantities of rice, flour, meat, and vegetables.

Su Qian thought for a moment and took out a small piece of wild boar meat.

"Mom, let's have white rice for lunch today!"

She thought about it, then bought a small steamer from the market, the kind used for steaming rice, and placed it on the tarpaulin.

"Okay, we'll have steamed rice for lunch today. But we can only use rainwater!"

Gu Luyun looked at the heavy rain outside the door and said with a sigh.

Su Qian curled her lips. She picked up a wooden bucket filled with rainwater from the door and used the water to clean the big iron pot.

Then she had a thought, and the rain separated!

She separated all the impurities and salt in the water, leaving only pure water!

Gu Luyun opened her mouth slightly, then sighed, "Only you can do this!"

She glanced at the sleeping dragon-phoenix fetus and didn't say the rest.

The problem of firewood and water that she had been worried about was solved, the wrinkles between her brows also faded a little, and she began to slowly pack up and prepare lunch.

She put the wooden barrel back outside the door, intending to continue collecting some rain water.

Su Qian's side was fine because he had made preparations in advance, but in other stone houses except for Su's second uncle's, there were constant complaints.

Because most of the stone houses were damaged, although they were slightly better after their repairs.

But last night's earthquake caused those blocked gaps to be damaged again.

At this moment, it was raining heavily outside, while it was drizzling inside the stone house.

The heavy rain outside prevented them from going out to collect food or firewood to make a fire.

Many people who had been drenched in the rain all night were shivering slightly and had some symptoms of catching a cold.

"Hey, it's all my fault! When Ah Cheng came to tell me yesterday, I didn't believe him and even scolded him!"

The old patriarch looked at his grandson who was running a fever and unconscious, and couldn't help but sigh and said.

"Dad, what should we do? Xiao Hai is so hot, I'm afraid he'll get burned!"

Her daughter-in-law asked him in a low voice with tears in her eyes.

"First, rub the palms and soles of his feet with rainwater to see if the fever can be relieved!"

The old patriarch sighed and looked at the heavy rain outside the door. "Whether we can survive this situation depends on Xiaohai's own fate!"

Her daughter-in-law stiffened slightly when she heard this, and then she began to cry softly.

The sound was particularly clear in the stone house, making people inexplicably irritated.

Su Boquan glanced at his old father, then at his wife and children, sighed softly, and rushed into the rain.

Not long after, there was a knock on the door of Su Qian's stone house. "Sister-in-law, can I come in?"

He is the second uncle of the Su family.

Gu Luyun glanced at Su Qian and saw her nod, then she responded, "Come in!"

The second uncle of the Su family had a large leaf on his head. He bent down and walked into the stone house with a damp smell and the salty taste of rain.

As soon as he entered the house, he smelled the fragrance of rice.

He took a deep breath and looked towards Su Qian with an embarrassed look on his face, "Ah Qian, Second Uncle came to see you for something."

"Well, go ahead!"

Su Qian nodded slightly.

"Well, your uncle Quan's little son got caught a cold after being caught in the rain all night, and now he has a high fever. I came here to ask you..."

Su's second uncle squatted on the gravel next to the tarpaulin and asked in a low voice.

"Uncle, you want to ask me if I have any medicine to reduce fever, right?"

Su Qian frowned and asked softly.

"Yes, Second Uncle thought Ah-Qian was very thoughtful, so he probably prepared some of these herbs!"

The second uncle of the Su family lowered his head and spoke in a low voice.

Su Qian sighed softly. It seemed that Su Boquan had found Su's second uncle and asked him to look for him.

After taking a look at the sleeping Yi'er and Mu'er's tender faces, Su Qian thought that the children were innocent, so forget it!

"Uncle, wait for me, I'll go look for it."

She turned and walked to the corner where the items were piled up, bought some herbs for relieving cold and fever at the market, and handed them to Uncle Su, "Uncle, all the herbs I prepared are here, you can take them!"

"Ah Qian, uncle can take half, and you can keep the rest."

The second uncle of the Su family took out half of the herbs in his hand, took the remaining half and left quickly.
