"Thurt~"

"Boom~~"

Just as Zhao Qi was walking back with his back basket on his back, a flash of lightning followed by a thunderclap. In an instant, the wind blew up, and the raindrops as big as beans were mixed in the wind and fell down.

Damn, Zhao Qi quickly put away the newspaper and ran away his legs to the broken kiln.

Fortunately, the distance was not too far. When Zhao Qi ran back to the ruined temple in the strong wind, although he was also wet, he finally escaped the heavy rain.

"Brother is back!" Xiaozhu had already stood in front of the cave door and looked around. When he saw Zhao Qi rushing in in the rain, he quickly went to get a dry cloth to help him wipe the rain on his face.

"Luckily I ran fast!" Zhao Qi took the cotton cloth and wiping his face while sighing with gratitude.

In just two or three minutes, the vast world was already shrouded in heavy rain.

Amid the rumbling lightning and thunder, the strong wind was wrapped in a pouring rain, and the sky and the earth instantly fell into a vast rain, and the scattered rain water flowed down the surroundings of the broken kiln. Soon the open space in front of the cave gathered into streams of large and small.

In the cave, there was still heavy rain pouring down, and a large amount of rain poured down from the top of the cave, pouring in like a waterfall.

However, Zhao Qi stood at the entrance of the cave and observed it for a while and was relieved.

The newly built four cottages and pergolas perfectly blocked the rain, and the firewood and grass belongings were not wet at all. On the contrary, the middle of the cave was like a small courtyard in a later courtyard. The rainwater gathered in the middle, and then was discharged from the entrance of the brick kiln along a small ditch. The entire cave was like a quiet and peaceful small world, and it actually felt a sense of security from the world.

"The grandson is back!" Old Mrs. Su was sitting under the pergola waiting. When she saw Zhao Qi coming in, she stood up with a crutch, and her worried face stretched out.

"Grandma, I went to the town to buy some rice and flour, some fabrics and clothes... I set the clothes for each person. This coarse cloth is used to make bed sheets and sheets, and this muslin cloth is used to make some close-fitting clothes... This is soy sauce, vinegar, and oil..."

With wet hair sitting on a broken stool in the pergola, Zhao Qi took out all the things he bought.

"I also bought a piece of soap..." Zhao Qi took out the black soap.

"What are you doing to buy this? I'm spending money!" said the old lady on the ground with a crutch.

"The people in the fragrance medicine shop said that the soap is added with sulfur to deworm it. Besides, it is comfortable to sleep after washing it. I also bought toothbrush medicine, brushing my teeth every morning and evening..." Zhao Qi said with a smile.

The old woman wanted to say something, but she swallowed the words back, nodded and said, "The grandson has grown up and is sensible. If you want to buy it, go buy it. If you have no money, the old woman will take the golden croaker as a gift!"

"What are you doing? That is your only valuable property. Don't worry, I asked in the town just now. The hotel and grain store need help. I will go tomorrow and I can earn some money every day. Please keep the gold first, but don't take it out again!" Zhao Qi reminded.

"Okay, OK, but you must remember not to go to the dock helper, especially on the boat!"

"Don't worry, Grandma, Uncle Dayuan advised me not to go!" Zhao Qi said quickly.

"That's good, that's good, Xiaozhu, pack up all the things that the young master bought. I will teach you how to sew bed sheets and sheets later, and also help the young master sew a few clothes to change when he goes to bed!"

"Hey!" Xiaozhu happily carried the fabric and prepared to go to the room.

"Xiaozhu wait..." Zhao Qi took out a comb from under the basket and said with a smile, "Sell you a comb!"

"Thank you, Young Master!" Xiaozhu took the comb, and tears flowed down her face with red eyes.

"Why are you crying? Go to work!" The old woman stomped her crutches, and Xiaozhu was so scared that she hurried to the room with her cloth and clothes.

"Grandma, Xiaozhu is still young, don't scold her!" Zhao Qi said helplessly.

"I am eleven years old, I can't do anything all day long, so what's the point of raising it?" The old woman walked into the room with a crutch and stood up in dissatisfaction to see Xiaozhu put things on.

Zhao Qi was too lazy to talk. An eleven-year-old girl was busy all day long and didn't have time to eat enough or wear warmth. She slept in a doghouse and ate pig food and was often beaten and bruised. Thinking about it, when she was eleven, she seemed to know nothing, but she had done simple housework, sweeping the floor and washing dishes, and there were only a handful of them.

"Xiao Zhu, is Brother Qi here..."

In the torrential rain, a girl's voice came from the entrance of the cave, and then a girl covered in her body rushed in.

"Xiaomi, what happened?" Zhao Qi quickly stood up.

"Brother Qi, please help me find my mother-in-law. She hasn't come back yet!" Xiaomi said anxiously.

Zhao Qi hurried to the entrance of the cave, looked at the heavy rain outside with a dumpling, and asked nervously: "Do you know where Grandma Zhang went to herd cattle?"

"I heard from her that it seemed like she was going to the mountain temple. The ditch was flooded and she didn't bring a hat. I was afraid something might happen!" The rain on Xiaomi's face was still falling, and her face turned pale with anxiety.

"Don't worry, I'll help you find it now. Maybe she will go to Uncle Dayuan's house to shelter from the rain. Don't run around and wait home..." Zhao Qi hurriedly took off a broken hat from the wall and took it with him and rushed into the heavy rain.

Although Yanggong Mountain is not very high, it covers a large area, and is connected to several nearby mountains. Maowan Village is in a valley, facing the sea. There are hundreds of families in the village, but most of them live in the exit of the valley, which is located in the direction of Yanggong Town. There are less than ten families in the valley, and the mountain temple is basically at the innermost part of the valley.

At this time, lightning and thunder were roaring and raining, and the distance was less than ten meters. Although Zhao Qi walked this road twice in the past few days, he was not familiar with it. Fortunately, there was only a small road at the foot of the mountain. If Grandma Zhang herds cattle, she could only walk this road.

He walked along the way in the pouring rain, passing by several houses along the way, basically only women, children and children were at home. Zhao Qi asked and said that he didn't see Grandma Zhang, so Zhao Qi could only continue walking inside.

The road was muddy and slippery. Zhao Qi fell several times in a row, and his body was soaked and his hat was even broken. More than ten minutes later, Zhao Qi walked to Yang Dayuan's house, but Yang Dayuan's wife only said half an hour ago Grandma Zhang passed by here and talked to her, but she didn't know she hadn't returned.

"Xiaoqi, don't worry. Grandma Zhang is very familiar with this place. She should be able to find a place to shelter from the rain. I'll find it in the valley. You go to the mountain temple to see it!" Seeing Zhao Qi's anxious look all over his muddy body, Yang Dayuan's wife quickly looked for a straw hat.

"Okay, I'll leave first!" Zhao Qi turned his head and rushed into the heavy rain.

"Xiaoqi is careful, the mountain road is slippery!" the woman reminded him later.
