Farmer sister: Escape from wilderness and farm with Lingquan space

Chapter 153 Taking shelter from the rain in the cave

After walking in the mountains for more than ten days, I feel that the weather is getting cooler and cooler. Counting the days, it should be autumn.

There are more and more fallen leaves in the mountains, the weather is cool, many animals come out to look for food, and some have already begun to stock up on food for the winter.

This afternoon, before it reached Shen Shi (3 to 5 p.m.), everyone noticed that the sky was getting darker and darker, as if it had entered the evening.

Looking overhead, through the gaps between the leaves, I saw large swaths of dark clouds gathering in the sky, and it looked like a heavy rain was coming.

"It's so dark! Is it going to rain heavily?"

Someone said something, and when the people around him heard it, they all showed a trace of sadness.

They have been away from home for so long because it doesn't rain in their hometown.

The fields were so dry that they cracked open, and the rivers, streams, ponds, and even the drinking wells in the village dried up. It was really no longer possible for people to live, so everyone had to flee.

Now, we are about to see the long-lost rain.

However, they were no longer aware of how many towns they had passed from their hometown.

"Everyone, hurry up and see if there is a cave or something ahead. Let's go in and take shelter from the rain. Who wants to go ahead and check to see if there is a cave that can accommodate so many people? If not, a smaller one will do. It’s okay to let the elderly and children go in and take shelter, but it’s not good if they don’t get caught in the rain or get cold.”

The old village chief shouted loudly, and a few young men with more nimble hands and feet in front heard it and volunteered to go ahead to find shelter from the rain.

Qiao Ran also turned around and said something to her grandma and mother in the carriage, then jumped off the carriage and went to find the cave.

She is faster than others and has enough experience in survival in the wild. She can find a suitable place to take shelter from the rain faster.

This family, old and young, although they have a carriage to take shelter from the rain, it is not convenient. If it rains for too long, people can't hide in the carriage all the time.

Therefore, she wants to find a big cave so that everyone can take shelter in the cave before it rains.

Judging from the weather, it won't rain for just a short while, and I might have to spend the night in a cave tonight.

Qiao Ran caught up with the young men and pointed them in the direction: "I'll go this way, and you go in another direction. Let's search separately. It'll be faster."

Several people saw that the direction Qiao Ran had divided for her was a large area, and they also knew that she was faster than them. No one raised any objections, and they all went in several directions.

Qiao Ran used Qing Kung in a place where others could not see, and flew forward.

Qiao Ran went in the direction of going down the mountain. Generally speaking, caves are not on the top of the mountain. They are more common at the foot of the mountain or on the mountainside, so she chose to look for them at the foot of the mountain.

After walking for about half a quarter of an hour, seeing the sky getting darker and darker, just when Qiao Ran started to get a little anxious, she finally found a cave entrance in front.

She ran forward quickly and found that the cave was not close to the ground, but three or four feet high from the ground, that is, a little more than one meter.

The front of the cave entrance is covered with weeds and shrubs, and there is a gurgling stream not far away.

This place is a good place to stay if you want to spend the night.

After observing the terrain outside, Qiao Ran approached the cave entrance.

The sky was dark, the depths of the cave were dark, and it was unclear whether there would be any poisonous snakes or beasts.

Qiao Ran took out a searchlight from the space and put it on her head. With an iron rod in one hand and a loaded pistol in the other, she carefully entered the cave.

The area near the entrance of the cave is relatively clean, with no traces of animals living in groups, but there are some droppings of birds and bats.

She looked inside the cave, and the dazzling light startled a large number of bats.

"Zhizhizhi", the bats flew randomly, and some rushed out of the cave entrance.

Qiao Ran quickly squatted down and covered her head with a thick coat to avoid being bumped into by these rampaging guys. Being scratched by them would be bad.

After a while, the commotion stopped. Qiao Ran stood up again and looked inside.

Most of the bats have flown out, and only a few dozen are still hanging on the cave wall.

There were no other beasts in the cave, but there was a layer of bat excrement on the ground.

After Qiao Ran confirmed that there was no danger here, she left the cave, put her headlamp, pistol, and iron rod into the space, and ran back to the way she came.

As soon as she returned to the team, light rain began to fall from the sky, and it tended to get heavier and heavier.

Several other young men who were looking for the cave had already returned. They didn't dare to go too far, so they searched not far ahead. Seeing that it was going to rain, they hurried back.

"How's it going? Ranran, have you found the cave?"

Zhao Tieniu saw Qiao Ran coming back and hurriedly stepped forward to ask.

He had also searched ahead just now, but he couldn't find a place to hide from the rain, and neither did anyone else. Now all his hopes were pinned on Qiao Ran.

Facing everyone's expectant gazes, Qiao Ran nodded: "I found a cave at the foot of the mountain. It should be able to accommodate the whole village. However, carriages, bullock carts, push carts, and some large items cannot go in."

"That's fine, that's fine! Just let people go in to take shelter from the rain. Ran Ran, you still have a way!"

When the people in the village heard it, they all praised him.

Qiao Ran waved her hand: "Everyone, follow me quickly. Be careful when going downhill. People in the car should get off and walk. Those pushing the cart should hold on tightly. Don't let the cart slide down and injure anyone."

The others agreed, quickened their pace, and followed Qiao Ran down the slope in spite of the heavier rain.

It is easy to go up the mountain but difficult to go down, especially when you are carrying a lot of things.

Everyone helped each other, supported each other, and slowly walked down the mountain despite falling and slipping.

When they were nearing the bottom of the mountain, Qiao Ran pointed to a flatter place that she had just spotted and asked everyone to put their horse-drawn carriages, ox-carts, and handcarts there.

The cows and horses were unhooked from their chariots and tied under the trees to graze freely.

Everyone took out their own oilcloths and covered the trolleys, bullock carts and large items placed on the ground with oilcloths. They only brought some food, pots and pans, and straw mats and quilts for sleeping at night, etc., and followed Qiao. Ran walked towards the cave.

When we arrived at the entrance of the cave, we saw that the cave was more than one meter high from the ground. The men consciously supported and hugged the elderly and children to let them go up first.

Then he went up himself and pulled up all the women in his house.

"Hey, this cave is so big! Fortunately, Ran Yatou can find a place where everyone doesn't have to get wet in the rain."

Someone sighed.

"Yeah! Look outside, it's raining harder and harder. We almost have to spend the night outside in the rain."
