Everyone still remembered Dr. Zhou's instructions that the tent should be opened a little to allow for ventilation.
It was so damp that the clothes that were wet during the day were now 90% dry.
Finally, daybreak arrived and suddenly a scream from the officers was heard.
"It rained heavily last night and their rations were washed away!"
The officer's shout woke up those who were still sleeping.
Meng Shuyan was also woken up by the noise and didn't know what was going on.
When I opened my eyes, I first looked at the fortune of my family members, and sure enough, the gray had deepened.

"I know. It must have been the officers' own doing. The blame should be placed on the person who changed the oilcloth!"
Meng Shijie was quick-witted and realized that they couldn't take the blame.
