Chapter 21
Dark clouds rumbled in the sky with thunder and lightning roared.
Ona rainy night several people walked along the rugged mountain road and came to a cave housefinally,
"A few days ago, our village had been informed of the relocation because of the torrential rain.There is no one living down the mountain. The river has already surged up. The mountain road youare going back to is very dangerous with the torrential flood at any time. You can stay here for thenight.”
With the help of this warmhearted
villager, Leo, they followed him here and arrived at the simple but spacious
Cave house.
"Is it safe here?” Charles looked at the howling storm outside and felt a little
uneasy.
“This mountain is built of the hard granite, so the cave here is very strong.”
After hearing what he said, they were
slightly relieved. It was a bad day. and
they encountered a terrible condition,
They would be drowned by a torrential
flood and mudflow if they were not
alert.
“Light more fire, take off your clothes and dry them” Leo went into the kitchen and brought out alarge pile of firewood
Without any hesitation, Charles and the others quickly piled up the firewood and took off theirsticky clothes. When Christina saw these men taking off their clothes together, she immediatelyturned around awkwardly.
“Don't take off your pants, understand?” Patrick, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke.When Charles heard him, he remembered that Christina was here: It was really awkward.
He took off his coat and shirt his chest naked, but he was still in his trousers, He moved close to thefire and sat
Cross-legged, letting the heat of the fire dry his pants. His whole body was sticky anduncomfortable.
“No signal. We can't get through with
anyone else.”
While they were lighting the fire, they discussed. “Cory and others should replace a place to shelterfrom the rain.”
Christina was a little surprised when she heard the name Cory.
Patrick's eyes had been fixed on her, so
the surprise on her was clearly seen, which made him have a special feeling
He pursed his lips tightly, and his expression was complicated.
“You can call me Anna. I have some
clean clothes. Come in to change with
me.” In a short while, a plainly dressed woman came out of the inner room and smiled kindly atChristina.
Christina nodded at her. “Thank you.”
Christina was 1.68 meters tall. Anna’s dark blue cotton-padded jacket and
her long-sleeved trousers were much shorter in her, but now she didn't care
about it, so she thanked Anna and walked out.
Anna came out with her and saw the
bruises on her fair wrists and ankles. She was shocked, “How did you get all these bruises? Oh, theyhad inflammation.”
As soon as Anna said so, Patrick stepped forward subconsciously.
Christina looked up at him, as if she was afraid of him, and instinctively took a step back
When Patrick saw her like this, his expression became complicated and he turned his gaze as if hehad not been looking at her before
“We have some iodophor disinfectant at home. Let me help you to apply... Anna ran back to herroom to get the disinfectant and apply it to Christina.
After that, Christina's hands and feet became blue. The disinfectant made her a little bit hurt, butshe only
frowned slightly and tried not to make
too much expression.
A small round clock hung in the cave. It was only around 7 pm, but it was dark and thunderousoutside.
They had to endure this rainy night.
There was no furniture in the cave, only a few wooden chairs and a round dining table in the mainroom. After a
while. Anna treated a pot of sweet
potato porridge to them.
“We're not hungry, thank you.”
Charles knew that the family had not prepared dinner for them before. Now that they weresheltering from the rain in their house, they thought they couldn't eat their food for free.
After thinking about it, he looked at Christina. “Christina, you should eat some. You're pregnant.”As soon as Charles said this, everyone else looked at her. Anna was serving
her a bowl, and Christina was looking
at the sweet potato porridge in front of her with a worried expression. Now that so many peoplewere staring at her, she looked a little embarrassed.
She didn't like sweet potato porridge...
“Pregnant?”
Anna, on the other hand, got excited and looked at Christina with a bright look. “God. How can yougive birth to a baby since you're so skinny? You need to get more nourishment.”
With that, Anna ran into the kitchen
and muttered, “I have two more eggs. I made them for you..."
Christina didn't know how to react when she saw how enthusiastic Anna was. She didn't like eggs,so she had not
eaten a single bite.
Christina really hated her bad habit of being picky about food. She had this bad habit in the DickensFamily when she was a child, so it was hard for her to correct her bad habits even if she
wanted to
She was embarrassed and ran into the kitchen. “Anna. I can have porridge or steamed buns. Youdon't have to make eggs for me.”
Just as Christina entered the kitchen, Patrick ordered a few people to ask Leo for a flashlight andsome tools, and then opened the door and walked out.
"Although the storm is heavy, tomorrow morning will be fine. There's no need to go out now.”“What's wrong? When Anna and Christina came out again, they found a few people had gone out.Leo sighed. “He said he would go out to get something to eat.”
"How can he get food in this rainy day? Why don’t you stop them? It's dangerous outside. If.” Annascolded her husband.
Leo looked helpless. “I can't stop him”
He was a little afraid of the man, Mr.
Hopkins.
Christina's face darkened as she looked at the door, her expression becoming a little complicated.“No one can stop him from doing what
he wants to do. Leave them alone” She said something with an ambiguous meaning and impliedAnna not to blame her husband
Anna was a little worried. Looking at Christina's complicated face, she asked curiously, “Girl, youshould all be from the city. I heard they came to look for you. Why did you come to this remotevillage?”
“Come to replace me?” She wondered.
Christina froze and retorted in a low voice, “No.” How could he have come looking for her?
There was no electricity in the cave. In
the middle of the shabby room was equipped with an oil and gas lamp. Under the dim yellow light,their

There was no electricity in the cave. In
the middle of the shabby room was equipped with an oil and gas lamp Under the dim yellow lighttheir
shadows swayed. They ate sweet potato porridge in silence and looked at the door with worriedeyes from time to time.
Why did he suddenly run out in this heavy rain...
“These young people are not familiar with the mountain roads. I'd better go out and take a look”Leo couldn't stop worrying and was about to go out in his draft clothes and straw hat.
Anna looked anxious, grabbed him and whispered, “It's raining so hard.
Thunder and lightning are roaring. You
don't have a flashlight, and if you falll
down the hill accidentally, what am I
supposed to do...”
Christina looked at the simple couple
and hated Patrick more in her heart.
It was a stormy day, after causing this couple trouble, they actually made them worried. He thoughthe was a Specially privileged person, SO everyone would Geoffreyeld to him? How annoyed.“Nonsense. I'm very familiar with this area. Nothing dangerous will happen.” Leo patted his wife onthe shoulder and pushed the door to get out.
But as soon as the door opened, Patrick and the others came back
They were drenched and looked disheveled, but with a large net in their hands, there were morethan twenty pounds of fish in the net.
"On this stormy day, you actually went to the river to fish?” Seeing that they had returned safely.Anna heaved a sich of relief and rushed forward to help.
“No, we'll do it ourselves” Patrick
looked up at Anna and said in a deep
voice.
Anna looked at his stern face and was
startled. She only felt that this man was
very noble and handsome. No wonder
her husband did not dare to talk to him.
Anna was really worried that those
men would destroy her kitchen, but she didn't dare to stop them.
helpless
Christina saw Anna’s expression and was angry.
She started walking towards the kitchen. They were just guests. And they showed no respect for thehost just because they were rich.
“Patrick, you are so good. You can kill the fish
Charles yelled excitedly in the kitchen, holding a large iron pot in his hand and drooling. “This friedfish looked good. Make more..."
Christina froze outside the kitchen.
She was very surprised.
Patrick actually knew how to cook A man like him actually knew how to
cook...
“Charles, come to help me!” Patrick seemed to have sensed something and
turned around to look at the kitchen door. Christina had already left.
With a cold face, he handed the long bamboo chopsticks for the fried fish into Charles's hand. “Do ityourself.”
“I'm afraid of boiling oil. Patrick your cook is better than me... What are you doing?” Mr. Shepherdseldom go to the kitchen. He didn't know how to cook
oily fish
Patrick ignored him, and in the kitchen, Charles howled because of the splashed boiling oil Finally,he came out with a big pot of crispy fried fish, satisfied.
“Come on, guys. I made some fried fish. Come to have a taste.” Charles was Shameless and askedthe others to
one over to eat.
Although Christina was dissatisfied with Charles and the others, the fried fish seemed to beattempting and she was really hungry.
“This is for you.”
When Patrick came out, he held a rough porcelain bowl in his hand and placed it in front of her.Charles craned his neck to see what it
was. “Braised eel with black beans? Nanny Mod took the lead and smiled at Christina. “Yourhusband is so considerate and capable. This is good for your bady. You should eat more and
your body will be stronger.”
“Your husband” from Anna made
Christina's face immediately darkened.
“No.” She did not even look at Patrick but coldly refused.
She was not qualified to cat what this noble princess had cooked!
Patrick seemed to have guessed that she wasn't willing to eat. He stepped forward, with his clothesstill wet. suppressing his emotions. “Be good.”
“Be good?!!I"Christina was furious.
It was as if she was messing around. but he was the one who made her in this bad situation!
The atmosphere was a little awkward
for a moment. Charles looked at Christina“s unhappy face and explained
slowly. “Christina, we didn't send the person to take you away.”
“Shut up!” Patrick yelled before he could finish
As soon as he finished speaking the others noticed that Christina's eyes were red, probably becauseshe had remembered what happened to her
before.
“Is there any misunderstanding?” Anna looked at Christina with a curious look
She shook her head and whispered, “I'm not hungry.”
She walked into the inner room as if
she didn’t want to see him.
“Patrick, if you don't explain to her
clearly. Christina will hate you.” Charles sighed gloomily
Anyone would hate him if they suffered something like this, but Charles found it strange that Patrickknew Christina was picky about food. She was hard to serve
