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

Chapter 117 Discussing the Journey

They all went out happily, but Liu Yingcai and Zhufu went to look for Liu Yingxiong again.

At this time, Liu Yingxiong had just finished talking to the villagers about the departure time. Seeing Liu Yingcai and the other man coming over, he hurriedly went to greet them and said, "Yingcai, have you told them everything?"

Liu Yingcai replied, "I told you, the kids at home weren't very happy, so I sent them out to look for mushrooms nearby."

Liu Yingxiong thought it was feasible and was about to ask his eldest son to tell the villagers the same thing. But when he turned around, he saw a group of girls and women carrying baskets and walking up the mountain happily.

Instantly, Liu Yingxiong felt completely foolish. If Liu Yingcai could think of it, how could the village ladies not have? It was even possible that they had wanted to go a long time ago, but it had been raining so they couldn't go. Now that they knew they didn't have to leave immediately, of course they rushed to the mountains.

Not only women went, but men went too. Behind the women and girls, there were many young men from their own families or from the village. They were all holding crossbows made by Carpenter Liu. They said, "Thank goodness we don't have to travel right away today. I can finally go to the mountains and test the accuracy of this crossbow." As they spoke, they fiddled with the crossbows in their hands.

The young man next to him also replied: "Yes! When the crossbow was first made, we only tried shooting inanimate objects, but never practiced on living, moving things."

The man who had just started the journey replied, "Yes! We've been traveling so fast and have so little time to rest that we haven't been able to try the mountains."

Gradually, they walked farther and farther away, and Liu Yingxiong and the others could not hear what they said next.

Of course, they had no objection to what they had just said. So Liu Yingxiong said, "It seems we are in for a treat today."

Zhufu said, "Yes! I was a little worried about Xiaoxiao's safety just now! Now it seems that her brothers should have gone too, so I feel relieved."

Liu Yingxiong said, "Hmm! Speaking of which, how come the rain stopped suddenly after a few days? Yesterday I was chatting with my dad, and he said that based on his past experience, the rain would probably stop in two days, so why did it stop today? He has been puzzled all day, and he is still struggling with it now!"

Liu Yingcai and Zhufu looked in the direction of his finger, and just as he said, he was sitting on a folding stool outside the cave, standing up from time to time to look at the sky, and then muttering something to himself.

Zhufu patted Liu Yingxiong on the shoulder and said, "Brother, you should tell your father later that we are now very far away from Camellia Town. We are now in the southern region, and the weather here is no longer comparable to what it was before."

Liu Yingxiong seemed to be accustomed to Zhufu's pat on the shoulder. After all, they had been together for such a long time and got along well. Now, after hearing what he said, he nodded and replied, "Okay, I'll go talk to him later. What do you want to say to me this time?"

Liu Yingcai said, "It's not a big deal. I just want to discuss with you how we should proceed with our itinerary. Should we go fast or slow?"

Liu Yingxiong thought for a moment and said, "I don't know what the situation is like on this road right now. Is the road easy to walk on? I don't know if there are refugees ahead of us."

Zhufu said, "So we still need to make a prediction about what will happen in the future and come up with a plan to deal with it, so that we won't panic and get caught off guard when something happens."

Liu Yingxiong nodded in agreement, and then several people started a heated discussion on this matter.
