After the mountain bandits issue on Longhu Mountain had been resolved, Lin Yue had thought the return journey would be smooth-sailing. However, the day after they passed Longhu Mountain, it started to rain, and the rain grew heavier with time. By the afternoon, it had turned into a torrential downpour. The group could no longer proceed, and given the rain showed no signs of abating or stopping, drizzling incessantly, they knew the situation would only worsen by night. Unable to reach a town to find an inn, they had no choice but to seek shelter in a nearby village at a farmer's house.
