Sisters in the Deep Forest Valley: Many Fun Things

Chapter 141 Avoiding a Rainstorm

Lin Chunyi's lips twitched. "I haven't seen you drink less porridge, and you're still calling yourself Wang Baochuan's sister... Even if a glutton came, it would have to call you 'Dad'!"

She shook her head and put down her empty bowl. "Since we're not going down the mountain, and we don't have anything else to do today, how about we go pick some jujubes?"

The jujubes after the first frost are very sweet. The fruits that grow all over the tree and look like chicken feet can help them store food in their cellars!

Lin Lanshan's eyes lit up as she said, "Let's go! We'll bring some to Uncle Lin and Aunt Zhang's house when we go down the mountain in a few days."

Remembering that she also had an apprentice and two outer disciples, she added:

"Bring some for Yang Yu and the others too. Ashu and Ahua are still children, they'll definitely love these sweet fruits."

Lin Chunyi put away the dishes and walked to the kitchen. Hearing her sister's nagging, she suddenly smiled and said, "Lin Lanshan, you don't seem to be as possessive of your food as before."

It wasn't like before; Lin Lanshan had been possessive of her food since she was a child. Basically, taking a bite of her food was like taking away ten years of her life.

Lin Lanshan followed with the pickled vegetables, and retorted, "I've always been very generous, okay? It was just because I wasn't familiar with them before."

I think they're quite easy to get along with now, and we can maintain a long-term relationship. Giving them a few wild fruits, what's there to be reluctant about?

It's not like the two of them plan to stay in the mountains forever, never leaving and never interacting with outsiders.

Since you're bound to encounter all sorts of people, choose those you're willing to get to know, and occasionally use small favors to build good relationships with them.

She felt it was worthwhile to use it to maintain necessary contact with the outside world.

After cleaning up the dishes, on their way back to the bedroom, the girl called out, "Wait!"

Lin Lanshan suddenly stopped in her tracks, pondering the chat log from earlier. It sounded strange.

"Lin Chunyi, who are you calling a food hog? Are you insulting me?" Who uses food hog to describe a person? Isn't that used to describe a dog?

"When did I scold you? You don't know that 'food guarding' is a compliment? I'm praising you~" Lin Chunyi said, suppressing a laugh.

Lin Lanshan quickly reached out her mischievous hand and tickled her sister's armpit as she packed her outing gear.

"I only studied for three years less than you, not thirty years, and you think you can fool me? Is this how you act as an older sister? If I'm a dog, what are you, huh?"

"Hahaha, stop tickling me, I'm going to laugh myself to death, hahaha, are you going to leave the house or not..." Lin Chunyi quickly put down her things and dodged left and right.

Lin Lanshan snorted, "I'll let you off the hook for now. Come on, let's go pick some fruit." Then she put the things on the table into her spatial storage and dragged her outside.

The two walked to the stream and shouted, "Let's go out and play!" Then a bunch of tagalongs followed behind them.

The weather is getting colder and colder.

They walked along the way and saw almost no green leaves; they were either greenish-yellow or withered and fallen to the ground.

"Whoosh~" A gust of wind blew by, swirling up the withered branches and leaves on the ground.

"Ptooey, ptooey!" Lin Lanshan was chewing on some jerky when she was choked by a mouthful of dust.

She looked up at the sky; it was already past 9 AM, but the sky was gray and the view was cold and dark.

"Sis, is it going to rain? I just felt cold when I went out, I didn't realize it was this dark."

The weather is unpredictable; it changes in an instant. Nobody can figure it out... It looks like today isn't a good time to go out!

Lin Chunyi looked up and frowned, saying, "Large patches of dark clouds are gathering; it's probably going to rain. But we've already reached the outer edge; should we go back now?"

After they came out of the valley, they went straight to the outer edge, intending to pick the chestnuts from the two trees first, and then go back to pick the jujubes.

We were just a few steps away from the chestnut trees, but we immediately turned back. Wouldn't that have been a waste of time walking all that way?

The two sisters hesitated for a moment... and decided to go home first, in case the rain got heavier and it would be difficult to walk.

The two of them called out "Peaches" and "May you be reunited and healthy" before heading back.

"Pitter-patter..." Lin Chunyi reached up and touched her forehead; it was raindrops. She exclaimed in surprise, "How could it be so fast? Quick, quick, let's hurry..." and go.

"Splash, splash..." In the instant they turned around, the rain poured down.

It was as if someone had suddenly poured a bucket of water down from the sky. Before the people below could react, they were soaked to the bone.

Lin Chunyi picked up An'an and Kang Kang with one arm and tossed them into the basket on her back, while using her other hand to wipe the rainwater splashing against her face.

"Lanshan, this rain is too heavy, we can't leave now. Take Tuantuan and Yuanyuan with you, let's find a place to take shelter first, and we'll leave when the rain gets lighter."

With rain this heavy, it's hard to say whether we'll be able to walk back. Even if we do, we'll likely fall seriously ill.

Not to mention the reunion and peace, they simply couldn't withstand such heavy rain, and even walking became difficult.

Lin Lanshan picked up Tuantuan and Yuanyuan with one hand and threw them into the basket, while wiping the rain off her face with the other hand, otherwise she wouldn't even be able to open her eyes.

The mountains and forests are full of caves, and their father, Lin Jiancheng, would occasionally spend a few days in the mountains. He would find various caves to sleep in at night, so they also planned to find a cave to hide in first.

The mountains, the torrential rain, and the strong winds made it an incredibly difficult road to travel.

"Sis, can you see which way to go?"

"Huh? What?"

The sound of the rain easily drowned out their voices, so Lin Lanshan had to shout loudly, "Which way are we going!"

Lin Chunyi heard it, but her impression of the cave wasn't particularly deep.

And the rain showed no signs of letting up; in fact, it grew heavier. The trees and bushes appeared blurry, and even the path beneath one's feet was difficult to see.

She had no choice but to shield her forehead with her hand, blinking hard at her rain-stirred eyes to try and find her way.

"This way!"

Lin Chunyi grabbed her sister's wrist, called out, and ran towards the nearest stone cave she remembered.

They stumbled and staggered through the tall bushes, carefully making their way up a sloping hillside.

Before them lay a high slope covered with sparse weeds, and below the mountain was a cave.

They didn't care whether there were wild animals inside; the two of them rushed in with Peach.

If there are no wild animals, they can safely take shelter from the rain; if there are wild animals, they will kill and eat them, and then they can safely take shelter from the rain again...

Lin Lanshan put down her basket and bow and arrows, wiped the water off her face with both hands, and began to wring out the water from her clothes.

She gasped for breath, "I almost thought I was going to be beaten to death by the rain. It was pounding so hard, it hurt my head, my face, and my whole body."

"When have we ever had such heavy rain here? It's like a whole ocean of water has been poured down!"

This intensity is so great that calling it a downpour would be an understatement!

Lin Chunyi was looking at the cave. The cave was not large, less than ten square meters, and only a little over two meters high.

But it's enough to accommodate the two of them, plus Peach and Reunion.

However, in the innermost corner closest to the wall, there was a rather large grassy hut, and you could faintly smell the stench of feces and urine.

Looks like this cave belongs to someone—it's just that the "owner" isn't home right now...
