The weather in Forget-Worry Valley was exactly as Xue Laohu had predicted.
After lunch, the heavy rain suddenly stopped, and in less than half an hour, the sky cleared and the scorching sun shone on Forget-Worry Valley.
Wisps of moisture drifted into the sky.
At this moment, Forget-Worry Valley is even more like a fairyland.
After the rain stopped, Han Shunde and Han Dazhong went to Li Lanzhen's house to discuss something with her.
When Li Lanzhen saw them coming, she led them into the dining room.
Han Minghai and the others followed them in. After they sat down, Li Lanzhen immediately asked.
"Are you all planning to leave Forget-Worry Valley with me?"
The two nodded and said, "Yes, we will all go with you."
Han Shunde said, "My dear in-law, look, the rain has stopped. When shall we leave?"
Li Lanzhen looked at the two of them and said.
"If we leave Forget-Worry Valley, it will be very difficult if we can't find a good place to live in a short time, and it will get cold soon."
Your families have already discussed it, and I don't want to hear complaints and arguments when life is not as good as in Forget-Worry Valley after we leave.
I don't have that much time to deal with these things; you and your family should discuss it yourselves.
Han Dazhong waved his hand and spoke loudly.
"Lanzhen, don't worry, our whole family agrees to go with you. Even my little grandson is clamoring to go with you!"
After saying that, he burst into laughter.
Li Lanzhen smiled too.
"In that case, we need to send out a batch of supplies tonight."
You should bring all the large items to our house first, and we'll move them all together.
Tomorrow morning, each of your cars should only contain people and simple luggage.
This way we can walk a little faster.
Han Shunde said, "That's not a good idea. Let Han Zhaoxiong pull it with you."
Li Lanzhen waved her hand, thinking to herself, "How can you continue this deception if you're following me?"
"No need, we have enough people here. Just wait until tomorrow morning, have breakfast, and we'll set off."
Seeing her insistence, Han Shunde stopped talking and nodded, saying, "Okay, wait a bit, we'll bring over a few large boxes, and the rest of the furniture can stay with my parents."
Han Dazhong said, "I'm taking them all with me; I'm not leaving any of them here."
At that moment, my wife and a few of my daughters-in-law were harvesting vegetables in the garden.
"Girls from Lanzhou, you should harvest your vegetables too. The grains haven't grown yet, so we can't waste them, but you can take any edible vegetables you can eat along the way or wherever you find them."
Upon hearing this, Xue Nizi exchanged a smile with Tonghua Li Sanya and quickly stood up.
"Mom, let's go to the vegetable garden and harvest vegetables now!"
Before Li Lanzhen could say anything, the three of them ran off in a flash.
Everyone could tell that she was afraid Li Lanzhen would stop them from harvesting the vegetables!
"Boss, tell the families who are coming with us to bring their large pieces of furniture to the entrance of our cave."
Tell them to get ready; we'll leave tomorrow morning after breakfast.
Han Minghai agreed and walked out of the dining room.
After Han Shunde and Han Dazhong discussed the arrangements, they went home.
After dinner, Li Lanzhen arranged for the younger children to go to bed.
The older children and adults were left to sit together in the dining room to discuss things.
Li Lanzhen looked around at everyone, her expression serious.
"After dark, a group of people will leave first, carrying large luggage and supplies. Our wild buffalo and wild boars will also leave together."
Tomorrow morning, we'll only take a small amount of luggage, and those who are willing to leave with us.
Li Lanzhen said to Xue Laohu, "In-law, let Xue Bao and Han Mingjiang go first. Xue Bao knows the way up the mountain."
Xue Laohu immediately understood; he guessed that his in-laws had probably found a suitable place to live.
He nodded in agreement, then turned his head to glance at his son, Xue Bao, sitting next to him.
That brat, he's really tight-lipped, he didn't let a word out to his old man.
Xue Bao caught a glimpse of his father complaining to him out of the corner of his eye, but he pretended not to see it and sat obediently, listening to Li Lanzhen speak.
"Tonight, Xue Bao, Han Mingjiang, Sanwang, Shitou, Xishui, and Songshu, you go first."
Upon hearing that she wasn't included, Shanxing hurriedly stood up and said, "Aunt Lanzhen, I'll take them. I'm more familiar with the route. Let Sanwang stay and leave tomorrow morning."
Li Lanzhen originally wanted to arrange it this way, but considering that Shanxing was a girl after all, it would be inconvenient to be in the dark, so she changed it to Sanwang.
She looked at Shanxing and said, "You're a girl, it's inconvenient for you to be out in the dark."
Shanxing said with a smile.
“There’s nothing inconvenient about it, Aunt Lanzhen. You brought us here, and now we’re leaving. You’re all our family.”
Xue Nizi stood up and said to Li Lanzhen.
"Mother, shall I come along too? That way, Shanxing and I can look after each other."
Li Lanzhen nodded in agreement.
"Alright, Sanwang and Shitou can stay here, you guys go first."
Han Minghai looked at Li Lanzhen and said, "I've arranged everything."
"Mother, the families who are going with us have brought all their belongings over and put them in front of the dining room. They are almost all large wooden crates."
Uncle Dazhong still has a lot of wood to haul away.
I had them all placed next to the dining room.
Da Zhongshu wanted to send You Tian and You Shui to help us transport things at night.
"Mother, what do you think we should do?"
Li Lanzhen refused without even thinking.
"Boss, go over there now and tell them that we have a way to transport these things. Tell them not to worry, not a single one will be lost."
Their family is ready; we can leave together tomorrow.
Han Minghai agreed, stood up, and went out to inform them.
"Does anyone else have anything to say? Let's say it now and work together to find a solution."
Everyone thought for a moment, then shook their heads, saying they had nothing more to say.
They all knew that the biggest problem was the wild vegetables and fruits they had accumulated here, the several large vats of pickled vegetables and sauerkraut they had made, and the wood they had cut down from the mountain.
Almost every adult in every household has a large wooden box, and the children have a smaller wooden box. These are used to store their clothes and personal belongings.
Only these items are relatively heavy; everything else is simpler and lighter luggage.
Seeing that it was getting dark, Li Lanzhen waved her hand and said...
"Then everyone go and get some rest."
We'll set off early tomorrow morning after breakfast.
Tomorrow's breakfast will be made by Tonghua, Sanya and I.
Alright, everyone go home.
After saying that, he gave another instruction.
"Those of you who are leaving tonight, go back and pack your things quickly, then meet here. I'll be waiting for you here."
Zhang Deshui asked Li Lanzhen with a puzzled look.
“In-laws, there are so many things, let’s keep them and load them onto the truck together. Otherwise, with just a few of them, it will probably take until dawn to load them.”
Li Lanzhen waved her hand, "No need, it's alright, we're very strong, you just need to rest."
Zhang Deshui's wife, Zhang Lishi, pulled Zhang Deshui outside.
After Zhang Li took the strength pill, her strength increased and her health gradually improved.
Since arriving here, I've been drinking the spiritual spring water every day, which has nourished my body and made me healthier and healthier.
It turned out that she was physically weak, but she was a shrewd woman who kept her mouth shut and didn't like to gossip.
Her journey to escape famine and her life in the Valley of Forgetfulness gave her a profound understanding of life.
Li Lanzhen is no ordinary woman!
And she must be hiding a secret!
My husband, all he knows is farming, he's a bit simple-minded and doesn't know anything else.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Li Lanzhen must have some skill or method in making this arrangement.
She only kept a few of them because she didn't want everyone to know.
She stood up only after everyone had left.
With a wave of his hand, he stored everything in the dining room into his spatial storage.
As soon as they went out, they started loading supplies into the space.
