I'm wearing it, but I'm still suffering.

Chapter 115 Liu Xiaoxiao's Prayer

Since Chen Ke said that the place he planned to go this time was the same direction that Zhufu had decided to flee from famine, Chen Ke invited them to stay with him there.

Zhufu and Liu Yingcai thought about it for a while, and finally Liu Yingcai said, "We'll see when the time comes! But we're grateful for your kindness."

The rest of the journey was relatively easy for them, but perhaps the further south they went, the more changeable the weather became!

We had only been walking for a few days when we encountered another heavy rain. This time the rain was different from the previous one because it was even heavier.

The last rain had come so suddenly, catching them off guard. Many people got soaked, and the village barefoot doctor had wasted a lot of his old ginger, which he'd used to keep the cold at bay. He must have felt bad for him! After that, he was told to pay close attention to the weather while on the road, and to take shelter if he saw any signs of rain. After all, he didn't have much old ginger left, having used up most of it that time.

Of course, it was fortunate that he said that, because this time they had perfectly avoided the rain.

Liu Xiaoxiao was a little worried when she saw that it had been raining for three days and there was no sign of it stopping. It seemed like the rain would never stop and she didn't know if the road below was flooded.

Yes, they are all on the hill now. Before the rain, Chen Ke observed the weather conditions when he was picking herbs in the past. He said that the rain this time will be heavier than last time, so he suggested that everyone find a nearby hill to take shelter.

So they all went up the mountain together. Fortunately, the mountain was not too steep, and there was a road leading up the mountain. Although there were weeds all around, having a road to go up the mountain was undoubtedly more convenient for them, especially for Liu Xiaoxiao and her friends who brought a carriage. And the bigger surprise was yet to come!

When they reached the end of the road, they saw a big cave with two smaller caves next to it.

At that time, Liu Xiaoxiao asked her father Liu Yunyi, "Dad, how could there be a cave here! And such a wide road leading up?" His father shook his head and said he didn't know either. Later, after Zhufu's explanation, they realized that this was probably a cave deliberately dug by some people who often drove a convoy. The purpose was that when it rained while passing by, they could hide in it in time to prevent the transported goods from getting wet.

Although they no longer had to worry about getting wet, they had been trapped in the cave for several days and didn't know what the outside world was like. Would refugees overtake them? If they were ahead, would they still have to be on guard against them on the road ahead?

Zhu Yun couldn't help laughing when she saw Liu Xiaoxiao standing at the entrance of the cave for a long time, occasionally looking at the sky, then lowering her head and sighing.

Finally, he couldn't stand it anymore, so he walked over, took her hand and said, "Xiaobao, what's wrong? Why are you sighing?"

Seeing that it was Zhu Yun, Liu Xiaoxiao stopped sighing and simply told her mother about her worries. Zhu Yun patted Liu Xiaoxiao's hand and joked, "Since you're so worried, why don't you pray hard? Who knows, maybe the rain will stop tomorrow!"

Liu Xiaoxiao thought it was feasible. She quickly pulled her hand out of Zhu Yun's, clasped her hands together, closed her eyes, and prayed, "God bless, please stop the rain soon. God bless, please stop the rain soon..."

He said it three times in a row. After that, he touched his shoulders on both sides with his left hand, then touched his forehead. Finally, he put his hands together, interlaced his thumbs and whispered "Amen".

Zhu Yun, who was standing beside her, was completely baffled by her series of movements, especially the last few, which she couldn't understand. But just when she thought she had finished praying, she saw Liu Xiaoxiao bow deeply towards the outside.

After making sure she hadn't made any other movements, Zhu Yun stepped forward and said, "You're nodding and bowing. Is this some new way of praying?"

Liu Xiaoxiao didn't really understand it either. She'd just seen people doing the moves before going on stage on TV, and she wasn't sure if she was doing it right. So she just bowed deeply at the end, which seemed like the right move.

But now that Zhu Yun asked her if it was a new way of praying, she really didn't know how to answer, so she said perfunctorily: "Well...ah! Hey! Mom, don't worry about how I pray, just see if it works tomorrow." Then she pulled Zhu Yun into the cave again.
