Chapter 22: Stay
The next day, after breakfast, everyone found that the rain had no intention of stopping, and the tent was still leaking.
"It looks like you can't make it today." Mu Qingshan looked outside and said.
Everyone was already a little irritable, and they all sighed after listening to Mu Qingshan's words.
Mu Chenghu saw that everyone could only be idle for a while, so he called everyone together to discuss how to go in the future.
"Okay, let's take a look at the next journey while everyone has nothing to do today?" Mu Chenghu said as he took out the map on his body and handed it to Mu Qingshan.
"Isn't it, all the way south? If there's anything to discuss, just go. Li Tiehammer said bluntly.
Mu Ergou said a little angrily, "There are many roads to go south, of course you have to pick a good one." ”
After listening to Mu Ergou's words, Li Tiehammer quietly lowered his head.
Seeing this, the king butcher whispered to Li Tiezhu, "Let's just follow, let them have a headache about other things!" ”
"Brother Wang, you don't have to comfort me, I know my brain is not good." Li Tiezhu whispered.
"Hammer, don't think about it. Who is Mu Ergou in the village who doesn't know. The king said in a voice that only two people could hear.
"Actually, Second Brother Mu, he is quite good." Li Tiehammer remembered the trouble he caused in the bazaar last time, and Mu Ergou Er carried it for himself without saying anything.
Wang Tuhu looked at Li Tiezhu in some surprise, and couldn't figure out where these two stunned people could see that Mu Ergou was not bad.
Mu Qingshan took the map and studied it for a long time before he spoke: "I'm afraid everyone will not be able to leave here in a few days." ”
Mu Qingshan's words not only brought Wang Tuhu back to reality, but also frightened everyone.
Mu Qingshan looked at everyone's reactions and immediately put the map on the ground.
"You see, we have to go through this road for the road that we have to go south here, but this road goes down the river, and the water flows into this river for the most part. It's impossible for such a heavy rain not to cause heavy flooding, so we're afraid we'll have to stay here for a few more days. Mu Qingshan pointed to the map and explained to everyone.
After listening to Mu Qingshan's words, everyone was worried.
After a long time, Mu Qingliu asked, "Can we cross over the two mountains next to us?" ”
After hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up, except for Mu Chenghu's family of three.
The mother and daughter looked at Mu Chenghu quickly, and Mu Chenghu thought that he was still here, and he had to find a way to dissuade everyone and not let the tragedy of his previous life repeat.
Mu Chenghu watched the rain outside the tent getting lighter and lighter, and his heart became more and more anxious.
Suddenly, there was a cry of a child in the tent, and it turned out that the youngest son of Widow Xiao's family ran out of the camp and accidentally fell, which would make Widow Xiao beat him.
Mu Chenghu thought to himself, isn't this a ready-made reason?
A farce passed quickly, and Mu Chenghu turned around and beckoned everyone to sit back in place.
Mu Chenghu saw that everyone's attention had shifted back, so he said, "I think it's better for everyone to stay and wait for a few days." The rain is so heavy, the mountains are high and the roads are slippery, and everyone carries so many things that basically can't take care of the elderly and children. ”
Mu Chenghu's words were finished, and Liu Wu continued, "What Chenghu said is good. Not to mention the elderly and children, what should we do if there is a mistake? Let's just say that we are going forward in the rain like this, what should we do when the wind is cold and cold? I think you'd better stay here for a few days now."
As soon as Liu Wu's words were finished, Mu Qingliu continued, "This is indeed a problem, I didn't think it through before. ”
"Yes! Let's stay here for a few days! Mu Qingyuan agreed.
Everyone looked at the mountains in the distance and echoed helplessly.
"Alright, since you're going to be here for a few days, you'll have to find a way to reinforce this shed." Mu Chenghu looked at the listless crowd and reminded.
Everyone looked at the water that leaked in from time to time, and they didn't feel very safe listening to the wind outside.
"I'll take a few people up and make up the tent later." Chen Yu, the only son-in-law in the village, said.
"There is still some oiled paper to make up for and then put on the palm leaves that the children came back from yesterday, so as to keep warmer, and secondly, to avoid direct damage from the wind, the oily paper leaks into the water." Mu Chenghu pointed to the oil paper and palm leaves in the corner and said.
"Later, my father and son will go over there and chop some palm leaves." Mu Chenggui looked at the palm leaves on the ground, which were obviously not enough, so he opened his mouth and took the job.
Zhao thought that the kitchen could not be used, so he said, "Third child, you have to think of a way to deal with the kitchen, we can't cook at all in this rain, so we can't do it in the tent all the time!" ”
"Grandma, it's not a big deal, you can just have someone build a shed over the stove in a while." Mu Yao raised her head and said innocently.
"If you want to build a bigger shed, you can push those cars over and put them there, if you let them rain, I'm afraid they will break." Mu Chengfeng, a carpenter in the village, looked at the dozen or so cars drenched in the rain outside the tent and made new demands.
Mu Qingyuan looked at the livestock that had been drenched in the rain overnight, and said with some distress: "There should also be another shed over there to shelter the livestock." ”
"Everyone is right, but the meal has to be eaten in one bite, and the food has to be done one by one. Our priority is to fix the tents. Mu Chenghu pointed out the most important thing to do first.
After the meeting ended, Mu Qingshan saw that everyone was busy, and pulled Mu Chenghu aside.
Mu Chenghu asked curiously, "Uncle Thirteen, do you have anything?" ”
Mu Qingshan said speechlessly: "I should ask you this, right?" You've been studying the map yesterday, so you know we don't have a way out of here, right? You're still asking me today, what do you think? ”
Mu Chenghu hurriedly explained, "Uncle Thirteen, I just didn't think about how to tell everyone, and I think you are the most convincing. ”
Although Mu Qingshan didn't believe it, he couldn't find any other reason to go with Mu Chenghu, anyway, this matter was harmless to him.
Towards noon, everyone worked together to finally fix the tent. Looking at the repaired tent, Mu Chenghu's hanging heart finally let go of half of it.
Lunch was made by Han and the others in the tent, and the cooks and the children in the tent choked when cooking.
When Mu Chenghu and the others were eating, they found that the eyes of the dozen or so people who were cooking were red, and they all felt that they had to set up the kitchen shed in the afternoon.
In the afternoon, halfway through the construction of the shed, the weather was not beautiful and it began to rain again, so everyone had to give up.
Thankfully, the cooking place is set up. So Han and the others decided to make dinner outside.
"Sister Han's fire really can't be lit, and she can't even bring out the coal that is burning brightly. Otherwise, we'll go and cook it in the tent. Mu Ergou's mother Liu said.
"You don't want to go in! But if you look at the number of people in this tent, it won't kill the big guys. "Han can't do it either.
"Otherwise, we're trying to figure it out." Widow Xiao whispered.
When a group of people were at a loss, Mu Yao took out some burnt ash from the tent and poured it into the stove.
"Yaoyao, what are you doing here? Hurry in and don't mess with it. As soon as Han saw Mu Yao pouring ashes into the stove, he hurriedly said.
"Grandma, can't you make a fire? If I pour some ashes into the stove, the stove will not be wet, and I will start a fire. Mu Yao said matter-of-factly.
When everyone heard Mu Yao say this, they all felt that they could give it a try, but it didn't take long for a fire to ignite.
"Yaoyao, worthy of being Chenghu's daughter, this brain is smart." Liu boasted.
"But no, Yao Mei is smart, how do you think she knows that palm leaves can make up tents?" Mu Meixin, who followed Mu Yao to the kitchen on the side, also spoke.
Mu Yao was embarrassed when she heard this, didn't she learn it all online, is it so exaggerated?
Han's eyes narrowed when he heard this, thinking that it was worthy of my little heart.
Because the tent was full of food and luggage, everyone had to sleep together. Everyone thought that it would be fine in a few days, but who would have thought that they would be squeezed for nearly a month.
