After traveling for two consecutive days, on the third day, they encountered a rainstorm on a remote mountain road. The torrential rain quickly slowed down the wheels of the carriage, and they were neither able to move forward nor retreat.
Shan Jin and Luo Cheng's clothes were already drenched, and so was the luggage they had tied to the backs of their horses. The horses were extremely irritable amidst the thunder and lightning.
Wunian lifted the curtain of the carriage and shouted to the outside, "Unseat the horses and let them go! Uncle Lin, release the horses too and get into the carriage."
Uncle Lin did as Wunian said and untied the reins. The horses ran up the mountain on their own. Wunian let Da Ya and Er Ya into the carriage.
Suddenly, Shan Jin, Luo Cheng, and Uncle Lin, who were standing outside, saw four wooden pillars extending out from the four corners of the carriage. The four walls of the carriage were also extending out. Wunian shouted out again, "Come in, all of you! It's really big inside. You won't be able to get in later." At this point, Uncle Lin entered the carriage and didn't come out again. Shan Jin and Luo Cheng looked at each other and also unbuckled their saddles. They boarded the carriage with a leap and entered. Inside the carriage was another world. There were four small rooms, but they kept extending out. Once the four large wooden pillars touched the ground, they continued to extend upwards.
The rain outside became even more ferocious. It was as if there was a hole in the sky and water was pouring down.
Now, the four large wooden pillars had already risen to ten meters. In just four hours, the water level had risen to five meters. The rain was still falling, but it was not a threat to Wunian and the others. The four small rooms had already extended to the size of normal rooms.
Wunian looked at the surprised expressions of these people, including Juxiang, and said, "Yes! Don't be too surprised. This craft carriage was built by my master because she was heartbroken that I had to suffer under the sun and rain outside. That's why she spent a fortune to get a friend of hers to build it. This carriage has more functions than this. Quickly dry yourselves and change your clothes. There are four rooms, one for me and my sister, one for Da Ya and Er Ya. You two and Uncle Lin may take the other two! By the way, Big Sister, their clothes are all wet. See if there's anything suitable for them to wear?"
Luo Cheng chose to share a room with Shan Jin, leaving the remaining room to Uncle Lin. They then went to their respective rooms. Juxiang searched the storage space and found three sets of men's clothes. They were all quite similar. Wunian asked Da Ya and Er Ya to help send them over to the men.
After changing their clothes, Shan Jin and Luo Cheng came over to Wunian and Juxiang, and they looked at the heavy rain outside the window. Luo Cheng stood behind Shan Jin and said, "You guys are too amazing. The transformation of a carriage into a house is really an eye-opener for me."
Wunian glanced at Luo Cheng and replied, "There are many magical things in this world, but you haven't seen them before."
Wunian looked at the rising water level outside and frowned. "This heavy rain is strange. Usually, there's a process when it rains and the water rises, but such heavy rain seems to be targeting us."
Juxiang asked nervously, "Little Sister, are you able to figure out what this is?"
Wunian looked at Da Ya, Er Ya, and Uncle Lin and instructed, "Da Ya, Er Ya, and Uncle Lin, go to the kitchen and prepare dinner. Everything you need will be in the kitchen."
"Aye! We'll go now." The three of them went to the kitchen at the furthest end and got busy.
Wunian turned around and said to Juxiang and Luo Cheng, "Big Sister, Big Brother Luo, come and sit down! Since Big Brother Shanjin is going to be my brother-in-law, you're not an outsider."
Hence, Juxiang and Luo Cheng also sat down. There were four sides of the table, and each of them sat on one side. Luo Cheng was curious about what Wunian wanted to say.
Wunian continued the topic from before. The rain was strange, as if someone was controlling it.
"How is this possible! Who has such remarkable ability to control the rain? This is too bizarre."
However, Shan Jin did not say anything. He was thinking that the Juxiang sisters were orphans who had no one to rely on since they were young and had no enemies. Those two girls were even refugees. He had seen it with his own eyes. Uncle Lin's family was poor, and he had old and young mouths to feed. They were all ordinary people and did not have any enemies. Then… he was the only one left. Who could it be?
Wunian took out a magic weapon from her space and placed it on the table. She said to Shan Jin, "Big Brother Shan Jin must have guessed most of it. The only possibility is your enemy. Let's take a look at Big Brother Luo first."
