After Da Ya told him about the items, Chen Kai excitedly said, "Da Ya, quickly ask Silly Girl if using the system-rewarded sunshine and rain fireworks can turn a sunny day into a rainy day."
After hearing the silly girl's reply, Da Ya was so excited that she cried. "Silly girl said it's possible. If you use it on a sunny day, it can make the sky rain."
They've been suffering from drought for almost two years, without a single drop of rain. How could she not be excited when she suddenly heard about a treasure that could make the sky rain?
Seven days later will be Laba Festival. How many people will have hope if it rains on Laba Festival?
"It can rain! It can finally rain! Waaah!" Xiao Bao and the others cried with joy. They hadn't seen rain for a very, very long time.
Sanya quickly shared the good news with her family, telling everyone that it would rain on Laba Festival and instructing the team to prepare containers to collect water.
When the team heard that it would rain on Laba Festival, everyone was excited and came to the Chen family to inquire.
"Master Chen, did your ancestors really say it would rain on Laba Festival?"
Old Man Chen said happily, "Yes, our ancestors just appeared and told me this good news. It will rain on Laba Festival. You should quickly prepare containers to hold water."
Ah Jin, with one sleeve empty, was holding a pottery jar. He originally intended to return it to Village Chief Bai, since he had borrowed the jar from him a long time ago and wanted to return it today. However, upon hearing that it would rain on Laba Festival, he silently took the jar back with him, thinking that he would store more water and fill the jar with water to give to Village Chief Dashan Village when he returned the jar.
Ajin felt that the six of them were very lucky to meet the people of Anping Village. Village Chief Bai invited them into the team and took good care of them, treating them all as members of the team.
They receive food and water daily, receive medical care when injured, and enjoy the same treatment as other team members.
In the afternoon, as it was time to open the kiln, the fourth brother, who was playing with his binoculars, suddenly noticed a dense mass of people walking on the distant mountain, carrying weapons. His heart skipped a beat; he had a premonition that these people were coming for them!
He quickly told everyone the bad news, and the three village chiefs immediately issued instructions after hearing it.
The team is now divided into three groups. The first group, consisting of the elderly, women, children, and the sick and disabled, will retreat first. The second group, led by the village chief of Qingshan Village, will be the guard team and the second patrol team to protect everyone.
The second team left twenty people to open the kiln, while Village Chief Bai led a patrol team to protect everyone.
Three teams of able-bodied men went to the front line, along with the first and third teams of the guards, the third team of the patrol, the catapult team, the archer team, and the two doctors. The village chief of Lotus Village led everyone to fight!
It wasn't a fight to the death, but rather a plan to delay the bandits and set traps.
The enemy still has several mountains to cross before they can get here; they still have time.
The charcoal and pottery jars in the kiln cannot be lost. The kiln has been firing for several days, and so much effort has been put into it; we must take them all with us.
The people who got separated from the group have already been found. If it weren't for the need to fire the kiln, they wouldn't have stayed a few more days.
It's already winter, and they can't live without charcoal, or they'll freeze to death.
While everyone was still basking in the joy of the rain at the Laba Festival rest stop, they were suddenly notified to evacuate and set off ahead of schedule, so they had no choice but to pack their things.
Zhou paid all the six embroiderers their wages. It was almost three hours, but she settled the wages for three hours.
Old Man Chen lent all the extra stone hoes and spears from his home to the guards and patrols, but they still didn't have enough weapons—not one for each person.
The four injured children were carried into baskets on carrying poles, one basket for each child, so that they would be carried away on carrying poles later.
The wind was a bit strong today, and it was freezing cold. Zhou stuffed a pillow into each of the four children's carrying baskets, and then covered them with quilt covers that had been taken off their beds.
They had several carrying baskets filled with miscellaneous items.
There was a pair of carrying baskets filled with charcoal, which they had saved from burning fires over the past few days. In order to burn more charcoal, they lit three fires outside and burned them day and night.
The remaining carrying baskets were filled with straw sandals, straw mats, bamboo tubes, and other miscellaneous items that had been woven in the past few days.
The wheelbarrow was also finished, with a pottery jar and a stone spear placed on it.
They had two human-shaped backpacks, which were filled with quite a few items, but there were still too many pottery jars.
Chen Jia didn't need to worry about this; someone from the team immediately came to borrow pottery jars. They kept a few for themselves and lent out the rest.
The village chief's family got the wooden planks from the Chen family and made two wheelbarrows. One wheelbarrow was used to carry pottery jars and weapons, while the other wheelbarrow was used to carry miscellaneous items.
The situation was urgent, so Old Man Chen also upgraded Bai Chuan's level, and the egg now had a 2.5 cubic meter space, which could hold more things.
The eight copper ingots in Daya's warehouse were emptied in an instant. She thought to herself that she should live longer next time she went in, because she still had so many things to do.
In every household, someone carries a shoulder pole and a bamboo basket on their back; except for the younger children, no one is empty-handed.
In fact, everyone was very poor and didn't have many supplies. Many people's carrying poles, baskets, and bamboo hampers were empty, with nothing inside.
But these storage tools are also their property, so they have to keep them with them; they'll need them in the future.
As the group prepared to depart, everyone brought out the grass skirts and capes they had woven over the past few days.
Even though they had taken some of the bandits' clothes these past few days, some members of the group still had no clothes to wear and had to continue wearing grass skirts to make a living.
These people, all dressed in grass skirts and carrying stone spears, really give off a savage vibe.
After packing up, Old Man Chen asked Uncle Zhou to lead everyone to retreat first, while he and his wife stayed behind because their sons had all gone to the front lines and they were worried about them.
When Chen Kai and Xiao Tian heard that their parents wanted to stay, they couldn't bear to leave and started arguing that they should stay too.
The two elders had no choice but to let their eldest daughter-in-law stay behind as well, and take the two of them to wait with the village chief while they went to the front lines to take a look.
A group of over 500 bandits were walking up the mountain when they suddenly discovered a water trail. Someone had accidentally spilled water on the ground, and judging from the trail, there was quite a bit of water.
The drought is severe, and water is as precious as food; how could the bandit leader miss out?
"You, take a hundred men, follow the trail, and seize their water."
Seeing that the soil was damp, the bandit leader knew the person couldn't have gone far, so he led a hundred men in pursuit. The more they chased, the more distressed they became. So much water had leaked onto the ground; it was enough for them to drink several bamboo tubes of water. Who was the brainless person who made the leak?
"Run faster! Before we catch up, the water will have all leaked out. Which idiot didn't care about water? I'll kill him!"
Hearing the commotion, the dog in the distance quickly shook off the bamboo tube hanging on its body and ran down the mountain as fast as it could.
"Boss, look, there's a bamboo tube over there, and the water is leaking out from that bamboo tube."
