Chapter 164: Landslide (3)
Since they couldn’t stay outside in the current heavy downpour, Chi Junheng agreed. He looked at them and said, "All right. Let’s just follow Xin Xin’s suggestion."
After Chi Junheng made the decision, Duan Yixin and Chi Xiyou led the way toward the wooden buildings. Braving the heavy rain, the five people walked slowly toward the wooden building area. Due to slippery ground and limited visibility, it took them nearly an hour to reach there.
After walking past the simple low fence that Sun Dagou and the workers built to mark her land, Duan Yixin breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that the wooden buildings were intact. Because Chi Xiyou placed her hydroponic shelves in the first wooden building, Duan Yixin and the others went to the second wooden building.
Duan Yixin unlocked the door and pushed it open. She then walked into the spacious building, took off her straw raincoat, and then looked at the other, "The building is in good condition. We can live here for the time being."
This is the first time for Madam Chi and Chi Xinru to visit Duan Yixin’s wooden buildings. After taking off their raincoats, the two of them looked around curiously while Chi Junheng and Chi Xiyou moved their belongings on the wooden cart into the wooden building.
Seeing that there were still many things to be moved, Duan Yixin went to help the two of them. While the three of them were moving things, Madam Chi and Chi Xinru took a small brazier and a few pieces of charcoal.
It didn’t take long for the brazier to be lit, and the cold wooden building gradually became warmer. After moving everything into the wooden building, the five of them gathered around the small brazier to warm their cold bodies and dry their clothes.
Since there is only one large room in the wooden building, it is not convenient for them to change clothes. Therefore, they could only endure the uncomfortable wet clothes and use a small brazier to dry them slowly.
Duan Yixin was hungry and went to take some pancakes from her bamboo basket. After that, she went to find a pan among the Chi family’s belongings and put it on top of the brazier. When the pan was hot enough, she placed the pancakes on the pan to heat them.
When the pancakes were ready, Duan Yixin distributed them to the others and said, "Everyone is tired, so let’s eat something to cushion our stomachs and regain our strength."
After taking the pancakes, they thanked Duan Yixin. While they were eating in silence, Madam Chi suddenly asked her husband, "Fujun, what should we do now? Our food can only last for a few days."
