Traveling through the famine, I stockpiled supplies like crazy

Chapter 267 The rainstorm stopped

"That's great, it's finally going to stop. We're finally through this." Xu Han said happily.

"We finally made it through. Hahahaha." Lu Chuan couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Why do I feel that this flood is more unbearable than the drought?" said the Taoist priest.

"I think so too. During droughts, it's fine to come out to warm up and feel a little thirsty, but when there's a flood, it rains every day and I can't go out. I'm going to go crazy." Lu Chuan also said.

"Yes, rainy days are so unbearable. I am in a bad mood when it rains every day. It is damp everywhere, and I always get pimples on my body. It is so uncomfortable." Xu Han also complained.

"Fortunately, we are almost through it now. The days to come will only be better than now. Hahahaha," said Grandpa Zhao.

"Yes, life will be better after surviving the natural disaster." Xu Han also replied with a smile.

"It will probably continue to rain later, but the amount of rain will definitely not be this heavy. It will almost stabilize in the second half of the year," the Taoist priest continued.

"That's good. After the flood is over, we must celebrate properly."

"Of course, we'll celebrate after the rain stops."

Everyone was laughing and talking about what they wanted to do after the flood, and the atmosphere, which had been dull for many days, finally became lively.

By the afternoon, the rain outside had completely stopped and the rainwater in the yard had been drained out.

But there were still water marks on the ground. Fortunately, the bluestone slabs in the house were non-slip. When Xu Han saw that the rain had stopped, she couldn't wait to take a walk in the yard.

Lu Chuan was afraid that Xu Han would slip accidentally, so he supported Xu Han by the side.

It was also very fun to be able to stroll in the yard, but Xu Han was really curious about how deep the water outside was. She had no idea after listening to them talk about it every day, so she was still very curious.

Seeing this, Lu Chuan opened the gate. Xu Han walked to the gate and looked out. She saw that the outside was full of muddy water and a large area was submerged by the flood.

From a distance, you can see the rushing water of the stream rushing downstream.

The flood has now submerged the field where pumpkins were previously planted, and is very close to the open space where firewood is usually dried.

You don’t know until you see it. It’s really shocking when you see it. The flood outside is endless and you don’t know how deep it is. Xu Han was terrified when she saw it.

"We don't know when such deep water will be drained. There is so much water in the mountain, the area below the mountain must be flooded." Xu Han said worriedly as he looked at the flood outside.

"Alas, we should be thankful that there is no one at the foot of the mountain, otherwise many people would have been drowned by this flood."

"Look what that is." There was a black shadow floating on the water in the distance. Xu Han couldn't see it clearly so she pointed it to Lu Chuan.

"It should be the corpse of some animal. Ever since the heavy rain, there are often animal corpses floating on the water." Lu Chuan said after taking a look.

"Animal corpses? Is that right? Does Grandpa Zhao know about this? Why haven't I heard you talk about it?" Xu Han asked a series of questions.

"Grandpa Zhao knows about this. He also said that the weather was hot after the flood, and with the accumulation of animal carcasses, it was easy for an epidemic to break out. This morning he said he would prepare some medicine for us to drink, so that we could take precautions in advance."

Xu Han felt relieved when she heard Lu Chuan say this. As the saying goes, after a severe drought there will be a severe flood, and after a severe flood there will be a plague.

Even Xu Han could think of this as her first reaction. Grandpa Zhao must have other plans.

Now that she has realized this, Xu Han doesn't need to worry about it anymore.

But after looking at the stagnant water outside the yard, he couldn't help but say, "You must keep a close eye on Mu'er during this period. Children like to play in the water, so don't let him slip away."

"Don't worry, the gate to this yard is usually closed. He can't get out without someone opening the door for him."

"That's good. I was just afraid that he would run away when no one was paying attention. We had to close the door." Old mother Xu Han couldn't help but say a few more words.

The two walked around in the yard for a while. Seeing that it was time to cook dinner, Xu Han also went into the kitchen to help cook.

To celebrate the rain stopping, Xu Han and Grandpa Zhao made a lot of delicious food today.

The table was full of delicious food. After dinner, Grandpa Zhao took out some herbs and fumigated every corner of the yard. Of course, the room couldn't be missed.

After all the herbs were used for fumigation, the anti-epidemic medicinal tea that Grandpa Zhao had prepared in advance was almost cold.

Grandpa Zhao served a bowl to everyone, even Xu Han and Mu'er.

"This medicinal tea can prevent the plague. From now on, we should all switch to this tea. We should drink more than three bowls a day. Especially Xiaohan and Mu'er, you two are the weakest, so you must drink more."

"Okay, I understand, Grandpa Zhao. I will drink it every day, without missing a bowl." Xu Han promised repeatedly.

"I cooked a lot of this today. When it cools down a bit, put it in bamboo tubes and store it." Grandpa Zhao reminded again.

Then everyone drank the cooled medicinal tea together. After drinking it, Xu Han quickly took out the snacks that she had prepared earlier and stuffed one into Mu'er's mouth first.

The little guy was not used to the taste of the medicinal tea, but he still obediently drank a big bowl of it.

After drinking it, his little face wrinkled into a ball, and he only slowly calmed down after eating the sweet snacks his mother gave him.

"Mu'er is great and very brave. Mommy will give you a small cookie as a reward, okay?" Xu Han rubbed Mu'er's head and praised.

"Thank you, mother." Mu'er smiled sweetly.

After sitting in the yard for a while, everyone went back to their rooms to rest.

There were no strong winds and lightning, no heavy rain or thunder that night, and everyone slept soundly, which was a rare occasion.

The most important thing is that the rain stopped, and everyone felt a little more at ease. With less worries in their hearts, they naturally slept well.

Have a good night's sleep...

The next morning, when Xu Han got up, she saw the sun in the sky, which was a rare sight. Her mood became cheerful.

"The sun is finally out. If it doesn't come out, I'll probably get moldy." Xu Han said lazily as he stretched.

"I haven't seen the sun for such a long time. I'm not used to seeing it suddenly. It's a bit dazzling." Lu Chuan said with a smile.

"Hahahaha, that's not what you say when it's raining." The Taoist priest joked.

"Hehehe, it's better to have the sun." Lu Chuan smiled naively.

"Now that the sun is out, can we dry our clothes and quilts? It's been rainy for such a long time and the quilts are all damp." The Taoist priest also felt a little disgusted with the damp quilt.
