Lin Chaobei pointed to the not-so-bright stars in the sky and excitedly called out to Yue Jiuyue to come and see.
He only noticed it when he glanced up casually; at first, he thought he was seeing things.
As soon as Lin Chaobei shouted, everyone couldn't help but look up. Sure enough, there were stars in the sky, quite a few of them!
"Hmm, it's stars. Looks like tomorrow will be a sunny day."
Even if it's not a sunny day, it will be cloudy. As for whether it will rain, who knows? There's no rule that says it can't rain when the sun is out.
"Wow! Really? Does that mean the rain has stopped?"
Amid Lin Chaobei's exclamation, several elderly people also walked out with faltering steps, standing at the cave entrance and looking up at the sky.
"The stars really are coming out!"
"Your eyesight is failing, how did you manage to see clearly? I can't see it at all!"
"How can you see clearly! Isn't that what the children are saying!"
"It seems the rain has really stopped."
"It's stopped! It's finally stopped!"
...
The elderly men and women were clearly very excited, looking even happier than after eating two meals of dumplings.
Whether it was because Lin Chaobei's shout was too loud, or because others happened to notice the stars in the sky, Yue Jiuyue couldn't help but smile as she listened to the faint cheers and some people crying with joy.
Great! We've finally weathered this torrential rain and flood disaster safely!
Now that it's dark, it's inconvenient to go down the mountain to go home, so Yue Jiuyue's family is still spending the night in the cave. However, since this disaster is over, everyone is quite excited, and no one is sleepy.
Yue Jiuyue was the same.
She lay on the original owner's wooden bed, a small single bed made up of just two or three pieces of wood. A little girl was sleeping next to her. Even under normal circumstances, she couldn't sleep peacefully, since she was used to sleeping alone.
There was nothing they could do. Liu was pregnant, and Xiaoman'er was very restless when she slept. She would either roll around all over the bed or kick her arms and legs. They had been sleeping in the same room for more than two months, and Yue Jiuyue had heard "slap slap" sounds and unhappy humming sounds more than once in the middle of the night. Those were the sounds of Xiaoman'er accidentally hitting Liu and throwing a tantrum after hitting her.
Because it was nighttime and Xiaoman'er hadn't done it on purpose, Yue Jiuyue heard Liu Shi sigh, then gently pat Xiaoman'er's back to lull her to sleep. After that, she carried Xiaoman'er back to where she had been lying before, tucked her in, and lay down to sleep again.
Yue Jiuyue had also seen it; early in the morning, Xiaoman'er would sleep on Liu's head, sometimes lying at Liu's feet, hugging Liu's toes, and sometimes rolling to the very edge, curled up like a pitiful little thing...
Therefore, Yue Jiuyue will not be able to sleep tonight no matter what.
With a "snap," Yue Jiuyue opened her eyes in a daze, feeling something warm on her face. She reached out and picked it up, and without even looking, she knew it was Xiaoman'er's little hand.
So, she still accidentally fell asleep, and then was woken up by Xiaoman'er's slap?
Before she could make a further move, she was hit several more times on the side by Xiaoman'er's little feet kicking wildly. Perhaps because the space was too narrow, she couldn't move freely. After kicking a few times, the "thing" in her way didn't move away, and she started to whine and cry.
