Chapter 1041: Chapter 1037: Unexpected Storms

They were discussing, while the beautiful tour guide was anxious.

She was very familiar with this road, so she naturally knew that going back now would definitely be too late.

"Guide, it looks like it’s about to rain soon. If we go back, we surely won’t make it in time. You’re familiar with this road, do you know of any place where we can take shelter from the rain?" Chen Yang glanced at the dark clouds on the horizon, then looked down and spoke to the beautiful tour guide.

Chen Yang had plenty of experience in the mountains, so he could naturally make the best judgment quickly.

The beautiful tour guide, upon hearing Chen Yang’s words, immediately thought it over, and then decisively said, "I know a place up ahead where we can shelter from the rain. Follow me."

With that, the guide continued to lead with her flag at the front.

Seeing there was a place to take shelter from the rain, the discussing crowd also stopped their discussions and followed the guide.

"Qianqian, Caiyun sister, you need to pick up the pace too. Getting soaked in the mountains can lead to catching colds easily." Chen Yang turned back and spoke with concern to the mother and daughter.

The mother and daughter nodded heavily and kept closely up with Chen Yang and the group.

After walking for about another five minutes along the planned route, the guide suddenly left the route and headed towards a smaller mountain path on the side.

Everyone trusted the guide, so no one said anything, silently following behind her into the forest.

After another five minutes, they arrived in front of a relatively large cave.

"This cave is safe, everyone can go in to take shelter from the rain for now. We’ll continue after the rain."

Standing at the cave entrance, the guide turned and smiled as she spoke to the crowd.

By this time, the dark clouds were overhead, and the entire sky had become overcast, seemingly ready to rain at any moment.

So hearing the guide’s words, everyone dared not hesitate and quickly ducked into the cave.

Chen Yang, seeing this, silently led Yang Ruoxi and Yang Caiyun inside as well, securing a very good spot at the well-lit entrance.

This spot had several flat large stones encircled together, like a natural chair and bed.

Moreover, the center was spacious enough to make a campfire.

With his keen eye, Chen Yang saw this great spot immediately and took it.

The others also thought it was good, but since Chen Yang had occupied it, they didn’t say anything.

They were just sheltering from the rain, and would leave after a while anyway.

Standing for a while wasn’t a big deal.

That’s what they thought, but Chen Yang did not think the same.

Chen Yang had already noticed that this rain was not the usual summer shower.

Summer showers come and go quickly.

This rain had been brewing for a long time without starting.

Such rain could take several hours to stop.

That’s why he led Xia Qianqian and Yang Caiyun to seize a good spot first.

"Let’s rest for a bit. We’ll continue once the rain stops. Please, everyone, don’t go outside or venture deeper into the cave."

Inside the cave, the guide reminded everyone with a loudspeaker to be cautious.

After all, this was the wilderness, with many uncertainties. Venturing deep into the cave or wandering outside was extremely dangerous.

The other tourists nodded or made sounds to acknowledge the guide.

"Got it."

Xia Qianqian also responded, then took the water bottle from Chen Yang and began drinking water.

Seeing her taking big gulps, Chen Yang couldn’t help but remind her.

"Try to drink sparingly, Qianqian. I don’t think the rain will stop soon. Running out of water later could be troublesome."

Upon hearing Chen Yang’s words, Xia Qianqian hurriedly stopped drinking.

Beside them, Yang Caiyun couldn’t help but ask, "Yang Zi, do you think the rain will last long?"

Chen Yang glanced outside, nodding, "Unless something unexpected happens, it will last a while. But predicting rain is uncertain and I can’t be sure."

Although he said that, Yang Caiyun was already prepared to stay in the cave for a long time until the rain stopped.

She trusted Chen Yang completely, and what he said was usually correct.

"Qianqian, did you hear? Drink less, otherwise, if it lasts until the evening, you’ll be out of water for the day." Yang Caiyun also advised Xia Qianqian.

Xia Qianqian pouted and responded, then silently screwed the cap back on.

Boom!

Just then, outside came a loud clap of thunder.

It frightened the timid women in the cave, causing them to scream.

They huddled into their husbands’ or boyfriends’ arms.

Those without a boyfriend or husband could only stay calm on their own.

The beautiful tour guide was one of them.

Her expression showed some panic, but there was no familiar person here, so she could only put on a brave front.

Seeing her nervousness, Chen Yang initially thought of inviting her to sit with them, so the few of them together could have some sense of security.

But thinking it over carefully, he decided against it.

Xia Qianqian and Yang Caiyun were there, and being overly considerate might earn him disdainful looks.

So he simply kept quiet, his gaze shifting to the drizzle starting to fall outside the cave.

The rain was neither heavy nor light, further proving Chen Yang’s prediction.

This rain was probably going to last quite a while.

...

Sure enough.

A little over an hour passed, and the rain outside was still drizzling, showing no sign of stopping.

Originally, those standing at the entrance, ready to leave once the rain stopped, saw no signs of respite and began to enter the cave, seeking places to sit and rest.

Otherwise, standing and waiting would be exhausting.

Including the guide, who searched left and right inside the cave but couldn’t find a suitable spot.

"Guide, why don’t you come over and sit here? You’ve been working hard for so long, don’t wear yourself out."

At this time, a man proactively chatted up the guide, inviting her to sit next to him with a smile.

The guide turned to look at the man, then awkwardly smiled and declined.

"Haha, it’s okay, just sit there. I’m fine standing."

Hearing the guide’s refusal, the man didn’t give up, continuing to chat her up: "Guide, don’t be shy. You’re the leader of the group. If you wear yourself down, even if the rain stops, we won’t be able to continue. Please come and rest."

Saying that, the man shifted, making space next to him for the guide to sit.

The man was outwardly enthusiastic, seemingly speaking out of concern.

But everyone could see that he had other motives.

His mischievous grin gave him away.

The guide felt slightly displeased but continued to smile as she declined him.

"No, really. I’m fine standing. You take a good rest, I won’t delay the journey. We’ll leave as soon as the rain stops." After finishing, the guide turned her back on the man, not giving him another chance to speak.

Watching this unfold, Chen Yang couldn’t help but find it amusing. He said nothing, nor did he laugh out loud.

Next to him, Xia Qianqian and Yang Caiyun were doing the same, stifling laughter.

Then Xia Qianqian stood up proactively, waving to the guide, "Guide, can you come over? I have some questions."

It’s unknown if it’s mutual liking between beautiful women or what.

Upon hearing Xia Qianqian’s words, the guide didn’t hesitate and came over with a smile.
