After getting off the high-speed train, Qi Yue and Gu Huai took a bus for several hours.
Halfway through their journey, it started to rain outside, and the rain seemed to be getting heavier.
With a headache, Qi Yue glanced out of the window and said, "It looks like the rain is getting heavier... The weather in the mountains is really fickle. I even checked the weather forecast before we left, which said no rain for these days..."
"Maybe it'll stop by the time we get there," Gu Huai chimed in.
Qi Yue nodded, hoping that would be the case.
When they arrived, it was completely dark, yet the downpour showed no signs of weakening.
At their stop, only Qi Yue and Gu Huai got off, and although there was a simple rain shed overhead, it was not very effective against the rain due to the strong wind.
Here, the roads were all mountain trails, impassable by car. They had to walk the rest of the way to their destination.
They had no idea when the rain might stop...
