The time-traveling lady is too fierce
Chapter 122 It’s Raining
Because they were afraid of heavy rain, no one slept well. Shi Dalang accompanied them and slept in the donkey cart, which was also covered with moisture-proof mats and quilts, so it was very warm inside.
At about one in the middle of the night, there were a few thunderclaps in the sky, and then it started to rain heavily!
The thunder was so loud, it frightened everyone awake!
Everyone got up to check if their own tarpaulins were laid out. Then they didn't dare to sleep, for fear that they would not be able to watch the direction of the rain and get their things wet.
Some families followed Shi Dalang's example and set up their tents in a triangular shape, digging trenches around the tents for water to flow. This made the homes very safe, as the water flowed down the tarpaulin into the trenches, leaving the area where they sat dry. Some families did not pay attention to such small details, and as the rain got heavier, it began to flow into the tents. Everyone had no choice but to not relax and kept cleaning up the rainwater.
"Dalang and his wife are smart. Fortunately we dug the ditch in advance, otherwise the rain would flow back into the tent and we would be soaked for the rest of our lives." Village Chief Shi, the tarpaulin they bought was big enough and the tent was big enough, so they finally cleared the place where the rain was pouring and people could still have a place to shelter from the rain.
"This Dalang is brave and resourceful. If he were to take the imperial examination, he might even be able to pass the exam and become the top scholar. But he is too old. It is a bit too late for him to study now," said the village chief's wife. She didn't know that Shi Dalang could read and write, but she knew that he could read a few words and was not blind.
"Look at what you said. It's not only those who pass the imperial examination who have a bright future. If you have talent, you can do anything!" Although it was raining heavily outside, Village Chief Shi and his family were not in such a bad mood!
There are lazy guys and a few poor families in the village who don’t have rain canopies. They will be in trouble if it rains heavily!
They were soaked to the skin. Some poor people borrowed some space from villagers they knew, put their food in their tents, and covered themselves with tarpaulins to keep out the rain. Although it was the same as not keeping out the rain, they couldn't be so shameless as to disturb the villagers. Of course, the villagers couldn't stand by and watch those who had elderly and children at home but couldn't afford tarpaulins, so they all extended a helping hand and squeezed together!
Even a lazy guy like Lan Rou found a place to shelter from the rain.
People in a village are like this. Even if they look down on someone at normal times, they will still help them through danger at critical moments just because they are from the same village.
Most of the villagers in Shijia Village have bought rain cloths. Even if there are a few families who have not bought them, they now have a place to shelter from the rain.
But the other two villages did not buy that much, and now both villages are in chaos.
In the end, the two village chiefs came up with an idea and asked everyone to put all the food at the homes of people who had rain sheets and give them some money when the time came.
Therefore, most of the villagers in Wangjia Village and Zhaojia Village were soaked, and their quilts and clothes were all wet. But there was nothing they could do. If the clothes were wet, they could be dried in the sun, but if the food was wet, they would be dead.
The Shi family's old house was also in a mess. They didn't have a trough for water flow like Shi Dalang and his men had done, so they could only squat in the tent with their quilts in their arms.
"God has no mercy on the people. It's raining so hard in such a bad situation. He is really bullying the people!" Shi Sisi was soaked! Now she had no place to stay, so she hid in a tent with her mother. She had to hold the quilt in her hands, which was so embarrassing!
"Sisi, don't talk nonsense," Mrs. Shi interrupted her daughter when she heard her daughter blaming God. There are gods in heaven, so we can't blame them easily! People at that time were still quite superstitious.
Shi Xiyou and Shi Xiwang had already observed Shi Dalang and how he set up his tent when they were setting up the tent, so the old Shi family's tent was just for the two of them. They dug a water channel and now have more dry space.
But sleeping was impossible.
The only ones who could sleep were Li Qiuge and his friends. Their donkey cart was covered with a rain sheet, and Li Qiuge even put a raincoat on the donkey. The tent they slept in on Ye Yi was even more rainproof. It was covered with rain sheets on the top and bottom, and there was a moisture-proof mat on the bottom. Both tents were very dry!
But because it was raining so loudly outside, they were not in the mood to sleep and could only lie in bed and listen to the noise outside.
"The tent my sister-in-law bought is the best. We are not afraid of the heavy rain." Ye San said. They needed to hear the noise outside.
"You said these outsiders are really smart. They can make such a good thing." Ye San kept praising the advantages of the tent.
"We have tents and are comfortable, but the villagers outside don't have such good luck. The one who is hateful is Dazi. If it weren't for Dazi, we wouldn't have to flee. Even the poor villagers have two thatched houses to shelter them from the wind and rain, and they don't have to leave their homes and suffer such a hardship!" Li Tie couldn't sleep as he listened to the sound of rain outside.
Li Qiuge and her mother were also uneasy in the donkey cart. The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and they could even hear a ding-dong-dong sound! Li Qiuge sat up and opened the curtain. She saw small pieces of ice on the edge of the cart. It was hail again!
She picked up a small ice cube, as big as her little finger. Fortunately, the hail was not big, otherwise it would have been terrible!
The weather is so abnormal, it's raining heavily and hailing.
It rained for most of the night, and it finally cleared up the next morning!
Everyone was happy when the sky cleared up, but it was a miserable night. The children in the family cried and couldn't sleep, the elderly had sore backs and legs, and the young people had to keep things in the house from getting wet. In short, it was a difficult night.
So even though the rain stopped this morning, everyone decided not to rush on their way and to pack up their belongings. Even though the tarps were more or less keeping out the rain, everyone had something wet.
Another thing is that no one slept at night, and it was too tiring to rush on the road like this. We were worried that the elderly and children would get sick again.
The situation at Old Shi's house was also in a mess. Shi Sisi thought about it, changed into clean clothes, and went to the donkey cart to look for her bag.
Shi Sisi found her bag and saw that it was pushed to the bottom. She took out her clothes and found that they were all wrinkled and some parts were wet from the rain! She was already in a bad mood, and now she was even angrier!
"You black-hearted bastards, I put my clothes at the bottom to serve as a cushion for you, you have such evil hearts!" Shi Sisi kept muttering and cursing.
When several sisters-in-law heard it, they knew that it was their sister-in-law who was scolding them!
But everyone was in a bad mood right now, so they really didn't feel like arguing with her! They just pretended not to hear her and packed up their belongings.
