Driving is much faster than walking, and Su Keke quickly took everyone to the foot of the mountain closest to the grassland.
Grandma Qiao asked Su Keke to find several large-sized windbreakers in the space and tie them around the bags of flour.
It’s okay if the rice is wet by the rain, you can just dry it in the air and eat it.
The military rations were packed inside and out, so a little rain wouldn't matter. Only flour was afraid of being wet by the rain!
When everyone was preparing to get off the bus with their bags full of supplies, Grandma Qiao stuffed the dumplings that had been packed earlier into the canvas bags hanging on them.
"Sister Qiao! Why are you still stuffing us with things? We really can't carry them anymore!"
The village chief's wife turned around and asked.
"Nothing! Just some dumplings for your daughter. Be careful on the road!"
After everyone got off the bus, Su Keke and Grandma Qiao waved to them vigorously until they slowly disappeared in the rain.
"Grandma Qiao! Let's go back too! I've been busy all day and I'm so tired! I just want to lie down and do nothing!"
Su Keke stretched and said to Grandma Qiao with a smile.
"I am indeed a little tired! Why don't we go back to the grassland on the top of the mountain to relax. We can make plans to deal with the other Sakura people in the next few days!"
Grandma Qiao simply tidied up the living room and kitchen of the RV, and Su Keke put the RV into the space.
They drove the capsule house back to the highest and steepest mountain here quickly.
At this moment, the wind outside seemed to suddenly become stronger. Su Keke thought it was because they lived on the top of the mountain.
However, as long as they close the outer shell of the capsule, no matter how strong the wind is outside, it will not affect them.
…
On another mountain, in a cave of the Sakura people.
Several men were roasting the beef bones left over from yesterday's meal.
In fact, there was not much meat on these beef bones, and they had originally planned to throw them away. However, no one knew what had happened to the six people who had gone out to look for supplies today, and they had not returned until dark.
"Zuo Zhi! Do you think these people can come back? I have a bad feeling! Something must have happened to our brothers!"
Nakano Qing pulled Zuo Zhi to a corner of the cave and told him his premonition.
Zuo Zhi actually had the same premonition in his heart, but he couldn't continue with what Zhong Yeqing said because that was not what their boss wanted to hear.
He had to say something encouraging, preferably to suppress the bad premonition in their boss' heart.
Zuo Zhi frowned and thought for a long time before saying, "Boss! There were no natural disasters except for the heavy rain during the day! I can't imagine what could have happened to them?"
"The only explanation is that they didn't find any supplies and were embarrassed to come back empty-handed!"
"Is that really the case?"
Nakano Qing looked at Zuo Zhi with suspicion, feeling that things were definitely not that simple.
"That should be it! Boss! Go eat something! If they don't come back tonight, I'll take people down the mountain to check it out early tomorrow morning!"
Zuo Zhi looked at the rain outside the cave and thought that nothing serious would happen!
At this time, there seemed to be a little wind outside.
Seeing that the two of them couldn't come to any conclusion, Nakano Qing went back to find Chen Jie.
"Master! Do you want to eat something?"
Chen Jie was holding a beef bone in her hand, which was brought by the two younger brothers just now. Although there was not much meat, it was better than nothing.
Although Zhong Yeqing didn't understand what Chen Jie was saying, she was holding a beef bone in her hand and gesturing to him, so she must be asking him to eat it!
Nakano Ao smiled at her, picked up a piece of beef bone, and chewed it for a long time but didn't get much meat.
"Damn it! Is this thing edible? Not only is there no meat at all, but it also hurts my teeth when I bite it!"
With a snap, Nakano Ao threw the beef bone in his hand directly to the ground.
His sudden action startled Chen Jie, who was gnawing on a bone beside him. She thought, you are still picky about food even at this point! If you have the ability, go out and find something to eat yourself!
But Chen Jie just thought about it in her mind, she didn't dare to say it out loud, Zuo Zhi was right beside her! He could understand Chinese.
Zuo Zhi sat alone on one side. There were still more than twenty people in the cave, and even the cow bones were not enough for so many people to share.
Some of the younger brothers could only use wooden sticks to poke a few white radishes they picked up yesterday, roast them briefly over the fire, and then eat them with a crunch.
There's nothing I can do. I can eat anything when I'm hungry.
Nakano Ao is so picky now because he is not really hungry yet, and everyone is saving the good things for him to eat.
The bone he threw away was picked up and chewed by one of his younger brothers soon after.
Suddenly, a strong wind blew into the cave, and the fire near the cave entrance was blown out in an instant.
The black and white dust was blown everywhere by the wind, and the heads and faces of the Sakura people in the hole were covered with dust!
"Why is there such a strong wind suddenly?"
"Could the strong wind from that day be coming back again?"
The brothers in the cave quickly hid inside and found a few corners sheltered from the wind to continue lighting the fire.
Zhong Yeqing and Chen Jie were at the innermost part of the cave, so there was no wind there. Chen Jie didn't say anything, just lowered her head and gnawed on the bone.
"Oh!" Zuo Zhi sighed. He thought the weather now looked a bit like a hurricane.
Hurricanes are much more troublesome than tornadoes, with strong winds and heavy rains at times, and they won't stop for at least ten days or half a month.
Under the current circumstances, the villagers here probably don’t have much food and supplies left, and even if they go out to rob, there will be nowhere to rob.
Zuo Zhi has always thought longer-term than Zhongye Qing. Now he is thinking that he must bring some pots and pans with him when he goes down the mountain tomorrow.
If there is really nothing to eat, there are always wild vegetables in the mountains. Cook them and eat them to get through this period.
…
The village chief and his group of eight people, carrying heavy supplies, finally returned to the cave where they lived before the strong wind came.
A bonfire had already been lit in the cave, and many villagers were standing at the entrance to welcome them.
"Hey! Where's my Luo Shun? Why didn't he come back with the village chief?"
"Yes, yes! My Tian Hu hasn't come back yet?"
"My...my girl hasn't come back yet? Village chief! What's going on?"
The women in the village were very happy when they saw the village chief and his men carrying back a lot of supplies, because they finally had food.
But after looking at the returning crowd for a long time, it seemed that many people were missing. Many women only then realized that their husbands were not in the group.
Now everyone was panicking! Their husband went out with the village chief, why didn't he come back with them? Could something have happened on the way?
"Village Chief! Where is my man?"
"Village Chief! Please speak up! Why haven't so many people come back?"
