PFC Chapter 1014 The Fog Dispersed
Chapter 1014 The Fog Dispersed
Lu Qingqing and Qin Lang were on duty today, and neither of them went out.
Old Zhuang was in a hurry to dig for wild vegetables, so he called Lu Qingqing over to watch the stove.
He and Sun Yue grabbed a few hot steamed buns from the pot, wrapped them in a handkerchief, and hurriedly ran out.
The old man ran very fast along the way, afraid that if he was too late, the good spots would be taken by someone else.
Lu Qingqing watched the two run away and told Qin Lang to continue guarding outside the camp while she went back to watch the stove.
Seeing that the food was heated up, she pulled out the still-burning firewood from under the stove and put it into the ashes to extinguish it.
They then spread out the wild vegetables that they had dug up that morning and placed them next to the stove to roast.
After tidying up, I was just about to call Qin Lang over for dinner when I suddenly felt that the surrounding light had brightened up.
In the blink of an eye, golden sunlight pierced through the dark clouds and shone down.
Lu Qingqing thought she was seeing things, so she closed her eyes for a moment. When she opened them again, the sunlight was already blazing.
"The sun is out! Great, the sun is out!"
Cheers erupted throughout the camp.
Soon, cheers could be heard intermittently from not far away.
Lu Qingqing stepped out of the shed and felt the warm sunlight shining on her.
She comfortably raised her head, letting the sunlight bathe her face.
A warm breeze blew by, instantly waking Lu Qingqing up.
She turned her head sharply and looked towards the mountains.
The thick fog that had been lingering above the mountains was now moving with the wind.
The originally extremely thick white fog thinned out considerably in a short period of time.
It didn't last long before it completely dispersed.
As the thick fog that had troubled them for days dissipated, Lu Qingqing couldn't help but shout out.
"The fog has lifted! The fog has lifted! We can go into the mountains now!"
As soon as she shouted, everyone in the camp turned to look.
When they saw that the thick fog in the direction of the mountains had really dissipated, they couldn't help but cheer.
Cheerful sounds echoed through the camp and drifted slowly into the distance.
Before long, a figure came running from a distance.
Before we even got close, we could hear their cheers.
Fifteen minutes later, everyone had packed up their tents, secured their vehicles, and were ready to set off.
Sun Laohai, Bai Song, and Qian Chengzhi then counted the number of people in their respective teams again.
After ensuring nothing was missed, the team set off again.
The sun was out for once, so everyone in the group hung their clothes, wild vegetables, and other items that hadn't dried properly on the roof of the vehicle to dry.
Lu Qingqing drove the car at the front of the group. Although the sun was out, the air in the mountains was still humid.
Especially with the fog covering the mountains for so long, coupled with the continuous rain, the dampness mixed with the smell of decaying and fermenting trees was really unpleasant.
She took out two scarves and she and Qin Lang each put one on.
A very faint floral scent wafted from the face towel, somewhat dispelling the unpleasant, rotten smell.
During her free time a couple of days ago, she picked some flower petals from her space and placed a face towel in them to leave it to fumigate for two days.
I didn't think much about it at the time, and I didn't expect to use it so soon.
Lu Qingqing sat on the carriage shaft, observing the surroundings ahead.
At this time, the ground in the mountains was still full of potholes and muddy puddles.
The grass and trees on the roadside stone walls were also covered with a layer of dew.
Suddenly, a clear bird song came from not far ahead.
Unlike the terrifying cries I'd heard before, this bird call was the kind I heard most often on ordinary days.
Hearing the familiar birdsong, everyone gradually relaxed.
Horse-drawn carriages and mule carts swayed and wobbled along the path.
Not long after they started walking, Lu Qingqing noticed the sound of rushing water coming from a deep ditch beside the mountain path.
The sound wasn't quiet, but it was constant.
She stopped in an open space and went to look around the deep ditch.
Looking down, one can see a rushing river in the deep ditch, but the water is clear and there is little debris.
That put her at ease.
The previous mudslide terrified them.
I really couldn't stand it if it happened again.
The group continued to move forward, swaying and staggering.
During this time, Lu Qingqing and the others would stop from time to time to check the water flow in the ditch next to them.
They walked until it was almost dark before finding a relatively flat high ground to stop.
The sun shone all day today, and the tents, clothes, and other items that had been damp before are now mostly dry.
Even the high ground where they stopped wasn't too damp.
After laying a layer of straw mats on the ground, they laid a layer of tarpaulin on top, and then set up the tent.
As they lay down that night, feeling the dryness of the tent and blankets, many people rolled around comfortably inside.
Everyone in the team slept well that night.
When it was light the next day, it still hadn't rained, and everyone was in a good mood.
If we let it dry in the sun for another day, not only will everything in the house be almost completely dried, but the road surface will be nearly dry as well.
In this way, they can travel even faster.
Because of the good weather, the team set off early.
They ate breakfast on the road that day.
We walked all day yesterday, and today we've finally entered the deep mountains.
The path was already covered with weeds, and there were many slimy snails crawling in the grass.
The morning air was damp and carried a hint of grass.
Lu Qingqing laid an oilcloth on Qin Lang to prevent the dew from wetting his clothes.
About half an hour after we walked out, the sun rose in the east.
After the sun came out, the group paused briefly.
Everyone took out the things that needed to be dried today and spread them on the roof of the car.
By mid-morning, the moisture in the air had mostly dissipated.
Lu Qingqing actually felt a little hot.
Looking at the sun slowly climbing upwards, she went back into the carriage and changed into a thinner coat.
The weather is really strange these days; no one can predict what will happen next.
You should know that at the beginning of spring, the temperature rises very quickly, changing almost every day.
But ever since it started raining a few days ago, the temperature has been stuck in a rut.
The temperature not only failed to rise again, but occasionally even dropped a bit.
Therefore, they never took off the padded jackets they were wearing.
When the sun came out yesterday, the temperature rose slightly.
Perhaps because they were in the mountains, it wasn't too obvious yet.
By now, Lu Qingqing is certain that the temperature has indeed risen.
This is also a good thing.
After all, nobody wants to be wearing a thick coat when it's raining.
Every time my coat gets wet in the rain, it sticks to my body and the cold wind makes it really uncomfortable.
