Chapter 107 Alas! The heavy rain is coming again!
"I'm going to go up the mountain and carry some more white stones. You should get some more sleep."
The soldier in the bed yawned, "Didn't you have ice cream yesterday? Do you want to eat it again?"
The buffalo swiftly carried the backpack on his back, "Don't worry about it, go to sleep!"
Before daybreak, the buffalo had already arrived at the place where they had dug saltpeter yesterday, carrying their backpacks.
Carrying a full basket, I walked to the home of the man who had heat stroke.
When the patient was sent home, the buffalo also followed him.
Seeing the miserable situation of this family, he felt really distressed.
Seeing so many children in that family, he thought of his mother and his younger brothers and sisters.
He left home to join the Red Army. He wondered how his mother and his brothers and sisters were doing at home.
Fortunately, my younger brothers and sisters are almost adults and should be able to take good care of their mother.
In the Red Army, everyone is a member of the lower class, so they can empathize with the poor people more.
The Red Army is truly an army of the poor!
Buffalo carried the saltpeter to their kitchen and explained to Chunyan how to make ice.
The elderly and children are most susceptible to heatstroke, so they should prepare more saltpeter at home. Unfortunately, time was too tight this morning, otherwise he really wanted to make two more trips.
Zhou Yue had already learned about Buffalo's good deeds through the system, and she was happy to help with such good deeds.
When the Red Army was about to leave, Zhou Yue put a lot of things at the gate of their house.
We have rice, flour, grain, oil, and several hundred kilograms of saltpeter. There will be absolutely no problem using them this summer.
[Touching value +10+10+10+10……]
Zhou Yue heard the broadcast from the system and smiled. It seemed that they had received something.
At this time, Chunyan looked at the things outside the door and was so moved that tears flowed down her face. She knew that this must be the help of the Red Army soldiers.
With these foods, this impoverished family finally had the most sumptuous meal they had in such a long time.
Today it is no longer a thin porridge with only a few grains of rice, but a thicker white rice porridge.
The vegetables are no longer boiled in water, but fried with oil and salt. Although there are no other seasonings, they are delicious to them.
With the arrival of summer, one thing is inevitable, and that is the troublesome rainstorm.
In the past, there was sometimes rain in the spring, but spring rain is as precious as oil, so the amount of rain is of course very little.
It had little impact on the soldiers. Their bodies just felt a little moist and they could be dried by a fire.
The summer rainstorms are like angry gods, wishing to submerge everything and soak everything.
"Oh! The heavy rain is coming again!"
"I am really impressed. It rains every other day!"
"It looks like the people in the nearby wild mountains and hills will become drowned rats again!"
There was a large dark cloud in the sky, completely blocking the sun. It felt like a dark cloud was covering the city, and it was sure to rain soon.
The soldiers all had some complaints, after all, there was a heavy rainstorm yesterday.
The rainstorm was so heavy that all the soldiers, without exception, were soaked.
No one cared about the rain washing on their faces and could only try every possible way to protect the food.
After all, things like rice and flour are particularly easy to spoil when they get wet and damp.
Zhou Yue was so wet that she couldn't open her eyes, and she felt cold all over after being wet in the rain.
It was also difficult to make a fire to keep warm after the rain, and it took a lot of effort to find some dry wood.
Everyone sat around the fire, drying their clothes, and lamenting how helpless the summer rain was.
Zhou Yue sighed as she watched the sky covered by dark clouds again. Her clothes had just dried yesterday, so she wouldn't be soaked again today, would she?
No way! I can't get caught in the rain today!
After the heavy rain yesterday, many people in the army caught colds.
Because he caught a cold from the rain, Wu Shisan developed a cold and a fever, and he was busy like a top.
[Tongzi! Send me the nearby topographic map! ]
【OK! Transmitting...】
Zhou Yue planned to build another village so that the soldiers would have a place to shelter from the rain.
In fact, the system feels that doing so is not cost-effective.
After all, building a medium-sized village with hundreds of NPCs will be a considerable expense.
Although there are a lot of points in Zhou Yue’s account, they cannot be wasted like this.
But Zhou Yue thought about it and decided to build this village.
After all, it was getting late and we needed a place to stay.
She checked the weather forecast for tonight through the system and saw that there would be continuous rainfall tonight, with heavy rain that would not stop for a moment.
If it weren't for this village, the soldiers tonight would not be as soaked as drowned rats.
It is estimated that more soldiers will catch colds, so these points cannot be saved.
Zhou Yue became more proficient with practice, and soon built a village along the team's path.
This village does not have thatched houses, but all are made of adobe houses, and the rooms are very large.
When the Red Army soldiers arrived at the village, it was already completely dark, so they planned to rest in the village for one night.
Not long after entering the village, it started raining again.
"Quick! Everybody pack up!"
Food, radios, clothes, etc. are things that cannot be exposed to rain.
The soldiers were placed together and covered with oil paper to prevent water from getting in.
After the rain started, many villagers ran out and came to the Red Army.
"It's raining so hard, come to my house and take shelter!"
"Come to my house, it's big!"
The villagers had simple smiles on their faces and warmly invited everyone.
The Red Army soldiers all shook their heads and refused to agree.
"Thank you, everyone. No thanks, fellow!"
"It's too late, we won't go in and disturb you!"
There are rules in the Red Army. We cannot disturb the villagers and we are not allowed to enter the villagers' homes without special reasons.
At this time, Chief Liu was also surrounded by several villagers, who enthusiastically invited him to go home and rest.
"We have heard about your Red Army fighting the white dogs and helping the villagers!"
"Don't be polite to us!"
"We have plenty of rooms in our house! Come in and take shelter from the rain!"
Commander Liu looked very embarrassed. After all, there were too many soldiers in the army, and if they all went to the villagers' homes, it would definitely cause inconvenience to them.
"This is not good, let's forget it."
The villagers refused to give up, saying, "How can we let the soldiers get wet in such heavy rain?"
"If you don't come inside to avoid the rain, then we will get wet with you!"
