The journey was uneventful.
Until the fourth day, when they encountered a torrential downpour. The road became difficult to traverse, and Zhou Ping'an's group didn't make it to the post station. They had no choice but to stop at a Mountain God Temple along the way and wait for the rain to cease.
In the dilapidated Mountain God Temple, they found some dry firewood and rotten wood to start a fire, dry their clothes, and eat some dried food.
The rain poured for two shichen, and as the group let out sighs of lament, the sky gradually darkened.
Zhou Ping'an thought to himself: In this era, travel is truly difficult. Without weather forecasts, encountering extreme weather means camping in the wild is likely a frequent occurrence.
This time, they were lucky enough to find an abandoned Mountain God Temple. If there had been no shelter from the rain, they'd have had to endure the storm and wind on the road, which would have been far worse.
However, it wasn't just luck, actually.
