Rebirth 78: Hunting for Treasure in the Mountains, Spoiling My Wife and Daughter to the Heavens

The door doesn't have a zipper; it's just two pieces of canvas tied together with rope. It's not difficult to open.

The window that lets in the light can only be covered by a piece of cloth.

As soon as the group entered the tent, the door and windows were blown open.

Rain was blown into the tent by the wind and slapped against everyone's faces, as if they had been slapped hard in the face.

Moreover, after the tent collapsed, there was a rocky ridge.

The water flow was too strong and couldn't be drained away in time.

It flows into the tent along the rocks.

The clothes that had just dried were soaked again by the rain.

Add to that the cold wind, and the women shivered all over.

"What kind of weather is this? Is it really that strange?" Even the best hunter can only hunt in familiar forests.

Otherwise, even God wouldn't give you a chance.

"The weather here is like a baby who's only a few months old; it can start crying at any moment. I'm still not used to it."

Li Xiulian held Lu Jiacheng in her arms, standing in the corner and using her body to shield him from the cold wind.

"This won't do, Zheng Lin. You're a local, what should you do in this situation?"

Lu Weiguo stood at the door and stepped on the tent door.

This blocked a little bit of the cold wind.

"There's not much we can do but take shelter from the rain, but this rain comes and goes quickly..."

Of course, that would be good too.

However, the torrential rain continued for more than ten minutes without showing any signs of stopping.

Zheng Yu, still shaken, crouched in a corner, the water in the tent already up to his ankles.

Lu Weiguo noticed that something seemed off about her.

"Zheng Yu, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

Zheng Yu slowly raised his head, his face pale, his body trembling uncontrollably: "Brother-in-law... I... I'm so cold..."

Lu Weiguo used a bamboo cane to stick the curtain into the ground and quickly went over to touch Zheng Yu's forehead.

"It's so hot!! Wait a minute."

Ignoring everything else, Lu Weiguo used his forehead to feel the temperature.

"He has a fever, and it's quite high."

"Oh no!! What should we do?"

"Yes, you can't get a fever here, it will damage your body."

Several women immediately surrounded her. Although they were very cold, they stood in front of Zheng Yu to shield her from the wind and cold.

"Brother-in-law, please think of something! Zheng Yu has had lung problems since she was little, and she's prone to pneumonia when she has a fever. If the fever lasts too long, she's likely to..."

Upon hearing this, Lu Weiguo frowned deeply. Given the current situation, it was definitely too late to descend the mountain. Even on easy mountain paths, it had taken them over an hour.

Going up the mountain is easy, but coming down is difficult. In addition, the soil has long been soaked by rainwater and turned into mud. It will definitely take two or three hours to get down.

Even a good person couldn't withstand being soaked in a downpour for two or three hours!

however!

Just then, a thunderclap exploded overhead.

The already panicked crowd suddenly screamed.

The more panicked you are, the more your screams will amplify your fear.

Even Zheng Lin was so frightened that she squatted on the ground and covered her head.

"This won't do!! Leave the tent here, grab your backpacks, and let's go over there. I remember there's a cave there; it'll definitely be better than here!!"

That's all.

Lu Weiguo no longer hesitated.

He took off his work clothes and covered Li Xiulian's head with them.

Then, with his left hand, he picked up Lu Jiacheng, and with his right hand, he pulled Zheng Yu up, making her hug his neck as well.

He plunged headfirst into the heavy rain.

The others, carrying their packs, barely managed to keep up.

Large raindrops pounded on the ground, creating a thin mist that obscured everyone's view.

"The cave is not far away, follow me!"

Lu Weiguo ignored everything else and used his back to clear a path when he encountered bushes.

The vest was torn by thorns, and there were several cuts on the back.

But at that moment, he couldn't care less about the burning pain.

Several women followed Lu Weiguo's footprints, one after another tugging at the hem of the person in front of them.

The woman behind him, soaking wet, didn't utter a sound.

The powerful willpower of women in this era is fully demonstrated at this moment.

Zheng Lin, like an injured kitten, had a pale face and lay on Lu Weiguo's shoulder, covering his earlobe and constantly groaning in pain.

Fever, pneumonia.

Lu Weiguo recalled an experience from a later life.

Honestly, without that experience, he wouldn't think it was a big problem.

But... only those who have experienced it know that burning like that for so long will kill people.

About seven or eight minutes later, a stone cave about half a person's height appeared under a rocky ridge.

The stone ridges were covered with vines, and rainwater flowed down the stones, making the stone cave look like a water curtain cave.

Seeing this, Lu Weiguo was also stunned. If water flooded into the stone cave, their trip would have been in vain!

However, once inside the cave, Lu Weiguo finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The cave has a gentle slope inside, and only a little water has entered; the rest is all dry.

"Don't go in here!! Rest for a bit, I'll go in and take a look myself."

A desolate cave in the wilderness—in Northeast China, this would at least be a wolf den.

If he were to rush in, even he might not be able to escape unscathed in this confined space.

But Zheng Lin said there weren't any ferocious animals here.

Lu Weiguo gritted his teeth, drew his quick-draw knife, and crouched down to crawl inside.

There was still a faint light at the entrance of the cave, but after a few steps, it became pitch black.

It is said that the human eye can adapt to darkness, but it also needs a little light.

In true darkness, a person is no different from a blind person.

Fortunately, Lu Weiguo's five senses were still quite clear after his rebirth.

This was also at night. If Li Xiulian didn't hold back and made a sound, he could only last for half an hour.

The reason why Li Xiulian could hold it in all night was because she was holding it in.

The cave was quiet, with only the sound of rain hitting the rocks outside.

Lu Weiguo touched the stone wall with one hand and held the dagger upright in front of him with the other.

As he ventured deeper, the stench grew stronger and the air became increasingly thin.

Damn it, in Northeast China, he'd rather live in a snowdrift than in a cave like this.

Who knows, he might fall asleep at night and die from lack of oxygen.

"Click, click, click!!"

Lu Weiguo's feet were covered with dry vines, and with each step he took, he would break several.

There were no other sounds besides this one.

"No, we can't go any further in."

Feeling a tightness in his chest, Lu Weiguo stopped.

He kicked the vines under his feet into a pile, thinking that if there were any animals inside, these dry vines could serve as a warning.

He picked up a handful and walked towards the entrance of the cave.

Before they even reached the cave entrance, the women were stunned when they saw what Lu Weiguo was holding.

"Honey!! Why are you carrying so many bones?!"

"Brother-in-law... stop messing around... you... you look like a demon from hell."

Lu Weiguo looked down and realized that what he was holding in his arms was not vines at all, but the bones of a small animal!

This. . . .
