Qiao Hua screen came out of the cave. The originally starry night sky had been obscured by large gloomy dark clouds at some point.
It was probably on the mountain again, and the dark clouds hung as low as hood, giving it a bit of an oppressive feeling as the black clouds pressed down on the mountains.
Even when Qiao Huaping took a breath, he could feel the moist water vapor in the air.
It's really going to rain!
The three villagers who were keeping vigil lit a fire outside and fell asleep around the fire.
Qiao Huaping pushed them and pointed to the sky: "It's going to rain. Get everyone outside quickly and go into the cave to hide from the rain."
The three villagers suddenly woke up with a sudden start. When they looked up, they realized that it was indeed as Qiao Huaping said. The sky was so gloomy that it was obviously going to rain.
The three villagers who were keeping watch hurriedly went to wake up the villagers who were sleeping under the rock wall and asked them to go into the cave to take shelter from the rain.
People outside quickly grabbed their bedding and hid in the cave.
The footsteps were noisy and the people were in a mess. Several caves were crowded with people at the same time.
Several children of the Mei family were also woken up. Mei Qingying's little face was full of sleep, and she was huddled in her elder brother's arms sleepily, still a little at a loss.
There was lightning and thunder, and heavy rain poured down.
Qiao Huaping took out the water bag and took some water.
Many villagers reacted, and for a while, the cave entrance was crowded with people collecting water.
That night, almost no one could sleep well.
The cave was crowded and chaotic, and many people were busy fetching water. Naturally, the entire cave was in a noisy and stuffy atmosphere.
Qiao Huaping had the habit of forcing herself to recover her strength at any time. Even if the cave environment was not good, she would take the time to take a nap.
When they woke up in the morning, most of the villagers looked tired and sleepy because they had not had a good rest.
Qiao Huaping, on the other hand, was in high spirits and looked like he could go out for a twenty-mile run right away.
The four children of the Mei family are in good spirits because they have taken water drops.
However, although it had stopped raining outside, the rain at night was really too heavy, the mountain road outside was muddy, and most people had not had a good rest, so the village chief decided to spend another day repairing in the cave.
In the morning after the rain, the summer heat has dissipated a lot, and there is a fresh smell of grass in the air.
Many people want to cook, but it has just rained heavily and the newly picked firewood outside is all wet. Where can they get it?
I can only eat dry food.
They all looked towards the Mei family.
There is a huge pile of branches piled up here at Mei's house!
What is this? This is firewood!
Qiao Huaping slowly rolled up his sleeves in the envious eyes of everyone, and told Mei Qingyao: "Yaoyao, you and Yingying stay here with our bedding, I will take Yuyu and Huanghuang out to do something - these firewood are
I took a lot of effort to get it back last night when it wasn't raining, so you have to watch it carefully."
Mei Qingyao sat up and stood up alertly: "Why are you going?"
Qiao Huaping chuckled: "Take them to the ravine and sell them!"
Mei Qingyao's eyes widened.
Qiao Huaping was overjoyed: "You're kidding, I'll take them to find us something to eat. It finally rained, so that's good stuff."
Mei Qingyao was doubtful.
Mei Qingyu didn't say anything, but Mei Qinghuang was already excited: "Something to eat! Let's go for a walk!"
"..." The two older brothers looked down upon this greedy younger brother.
Qiao Huaping took Mei Qingyu and Mei Qinghuang out of the cave.
The mountain road outside is indeed very muddy and difficult to walk on.
Qiao Huaping took the two of them to a weedy field with overgrown weeds among the shrubs.
"Is there something to eat here?" Mei Qinghuang's eyes were full of confusion.
Qiao Huaping smiled and said nothing. He flicked his foot in the grass, and a black insect jumped up.
Qiao Huaping pinched the black bug with quick hands and lifted it up to show Mei Qingyu and Mei Qinghuang: "Look!"
This is a round bug with a black body, long tentacles, and elytra on its back.
Mei Qinghuang was confused: "Is this the food you mentioned?"
He obviously found it hard to accept, "Tell me, this is not true."
Qiao Huaping smiled and said ruthlessly: "This is true. I can tell you, these things are called Shanshui Youzi, and they are delicious. They will only come out after the rain in this season, and they are all big treasures——
When the time comes, cut the wings, wash them, put some oil in the pan, stir-fry briefly, and sprinkle some salt. The aroma will definitely make you miss it after eating it once!"
Mei Qing shook his head. Even though he was a snack, he couldn't accept it.
Qiao Huaping didn't care about him. She reached into the bag, and using the bag's cover, she took out two old cloth bags containing rice that she had picked up from someone else's house.
Qiao Huaping gave Mei Qingyu a message: "Your third brother is a weakling. Let's just ignore him and catch him first."
Mei Qingyu was actually a little speechless, but he felt that he could not show his timidity in front of Qiao Huaping.
He took the bag and followed the method taught by Qiao Huaping, tentatively swiping his foot among the grass. Sure enough, a black landscape oil seed jumped up.
Mei Qingyu rushed forward and blocked it with his hand!
Mei Qingyu forgot about anything else for a moment, and couldn't hide his joy as he picked up the Shanshui Youzi in his heart and showed it to Qiao Huaping: "I caught it!"
Qiao Huaping gave a thumbs up: "Oh, that's great! Let's compete, Yuyu, to see who can catch more!"
Mei Qingyu glanced at Qiao Huaping and thought to herself that with her exaggerated boast, she was fooling him into thinking he was a child.
Mei Qingyu didn't realize that the corners of his mouth curled up, and he responded with some reserve: "Okay."
The two began to grab Shanshui Youzi frantically in the grass.
Mei Qinghuang watched from the side, and her heart became itchy.
It seems like fun...
Qiao Huaping was an adult after all. She quickly raised the bag in her hand triumphantly: "I've caught so many!"
Mei Qingyu pursed his lips, and then he grasped the bottom.
Mei Qinghuang immediately said: "Brother Yu, let me help you catch him!"
Brothers working together can cut through metal.
The two little guys flopped in the grass after the rain for a long time, and finally grabbed a bag full of landscape oil seeds.
Mei Qingyu was about to show off to Qiao Huaping, but Qiao Huaping had already rushed over and hugged the two little guys: "Oh, we Yuyu and Huanghuang are so powerful!"
Mei Qinghuang laughed proudly.
Mei Qingyu thought to herself, this woman really fooled them into thinking they were children.
But thinking so, Mei Qingyu still smiled brightly.
Qiao Huaping, Mei Qingyu, Mei Qinghuang, and two bags of landscape oil seeds walked into the cave.
Before reaching the cave, her enhanced hearing heard Mei Qingyao's unique voice among the noisy voices.
He seemed a little embarrassed, and his words were stammering: "...How about you wait until that person comes back, and then you can ask her."
