It rained continuously for days.
"Chang'an, come quickly!" Alan called from a distance, "Come quickly and help!"
Chang An shrank his neck, pretending not to hear.
A group of extremely boring men burst into laughter.
Hua Yi laughed so hard that he also stopped communicating with Suo Laimu about business, and turned around.
The next morning, Hua Yi recalled what happened the night before, wishing he could face the wall and slap himself hard on the mouth—see what you are doing
He felt that he was so cheap that he could even do that kind of talk and that kind of thing.
Because of this, Hua Yi had a painful self-examination, and thought that he was "easy to change his country, but hard to change his nature".
So, after suffering a blink of an eye, he decided to smash the jar and prepare to be obscene to the end. And just after he made this decision, he actually felt very happy, and secretly followed Chang'an a few times with his eyes. The more he watched, the better his mood became, and in the end he couldn't wait to hum a ditty.
So Hua Yi felt more and more that he had made the right decision.
Seeing Alan teasing Chang'an clumsily, Hua Yi felt that he had to speak up, and he said solemnly: "Miss Alan, you are a big girl, be more self-respectful, and don't always think about people who have meddled with me."
Although this leader is highly trusted, he is often very dishonest in private, and he can do things like scaring girls with bugs, so he blurted out this sentence, but no one believed him, and there was another burst of laughter.
Shan Xi stretched his arms around Chang An's neck, winked at him and whispered: "You can't do this when dealing with women. You can't speak to them, and you can't do it. There is only one secret, that is, no matter what they say, you have to nod your head." Yes, just stand there with a smile on your face, tell them to give them two punches without pain or itching, and everything will be fine."
Alan and a group of girls are rubbing leather. According to Suo Laimu, they are going to face a severe winter. They are afraid that they will not have enough leather to carry, so they must prepare in advance. The leather on their hands is raw hide. The beast, who happened to be trapped in the cave at this time, started to do it first.
This series of processes involves rinsing water and picking meat, repeatedly removing dirt and tanning the surface. The raw hide is thick and it is a physical effort.
However, the women in the northern tribes, except for the tribal leaders and the eldest daughters of the elders, also want to make a living, and none of them are weak, let alone a strong little girl like Alan-she is very powerful when she beats people. This will become weak, obviously acting like a baby.
It's a pity that the coquettish object didn't cooperate at all, he didn't understand the style, but kept hiding behind others.
Alan stomped his feet and said, "After washing for a long time, my hands are all torn, why don't you come over and help!"
Everyone thought she was joking, but Alan raised her hand angrily, and people saw that her not-so-delicate hands were really red and swollen, with tiny blood stains on them.
Suo Laimu, who was talking to Hua Yi in a low voice, stood up, and the others stopped talking and laughing.
A Ye hurriedly carried the herbal medicine box and took her hand.
Suo Laimu was silent for a moment, and finally spoke: "From now on, everyone, don't touch the underground water directly, first boil a large pot for a meal, then put the iron helmet on it, put the iron The water that condenses on the helmet will be used next."
Someone asked softly, "What about the drink?"
Suo Laimu thought for a moment, and said: "One way to deal with drinking, just don't put it in an iron vessel, but burn it in a bamboo tube, it's still drinkable, everyone try to save as much as possible."
Hua Yi glanced at everyone and nodded, his expression was calm and composed, as if this was an insignificant matter at all.
Several men stood up spontaneously and took over the job of rubbing the leather. Chang An also stood up, filled a cauldron with water, carried it over and put it on the fire.
Alan squinted at him, and said sullenly, "I told you not to come here for such a long time just now, why, is working with them better than working with me?"
Chang'an scanned her expression like a bird with fried feathers, and finally decided to do what Shanxi said, so he followed Shanxi's example, stiffly squeezed out a smile that didn't seem to be easy at all, and lowered his eyebrows in a compliant manner. Said: "Yes, I am afraid of you."
Alan really gave him a punch.
Chang An took the punch silently, and found that it really didn't hurt at all, and then Alan turned his head angrily, and stopped bothering him.
Chang An lit a fire under the cauldron, and when he looked up, he found that Shanxi had winked at him and compared his thumbs, looking a little complacent. He suddenly felt that this brother Shanxi, who was tall and slender and not like a beastman, turned out to be He is also a capable person.
Seeing that the leader remained calm, everyone thought about it carefully, and found that it was no big deal after they had reached this stage of the field—it was not that there was no water to drink, it was boiled in a bamboo tube, and it was still drinkable as usual, but it would cost a little more It's just kung fu.
Human beings have been active from the beginning of the prehistoric era to the present. They have killed demons, gods, and countless strange birds and beasts. They are still flourishing and have endless descendants. The more you can be inspired, the more powerful you will be.
The power to come out of the dark alive, and the power to be with those around you.
On the fourth night, Suo Laimu slept until midnight, suddenly opened his eyes like a corpse, and sat up suddenly from the ground.
That day's night watchman was Hua Yi. He sat at the entrance of the cave with his eyes closed, resting his mind. He dozed very vigilantly. Whenever there was any movement, he immediately opened his eyes. Suo Laimu lowered his voice and said, "The rain has stopped."
Hua Yi was startled, and thought to himself, wouldn't it be a good thing that the sticky and evil rain stopped
Suo Laimu's expression was solemn, he first ran into the depths of the cave, the cave was dark, and he didn't know how many people stepped on him and jumped up. Suo Laimu picked up a few sticks of firewood, set them on fire in a panic, and glanced at the running water outside the cave entrance—the water had already overflowed to the ground.
Then, Suo Laimu came out of the hole again, ran a hundred feet away in one breath, raised his head and looked around the valley, his expression finally changed suddenly.
With an anxious expression on his face, he turned around twice like a donkey pulling a mill, then ran back and shouted loudly: "Get up! Get up! Get up for me! Don't sleep, go immediately, leave the cave !"
Hua Yi grabbed his arm, but found that Suo Laimu was trembling all over. He took the torch from Suo Laimu's hand and threw it on the fire, illuminating the whole cave.
"Don't panic." Hua Yi whispered, and then he glanced at Kazuo who was standing next to him sleepily, and ordered, "Get everyone up, we are going to leave now - Suo Laimu, follow me outside Say, what happened?"
Suo Laimu took a deep breath, and the legendary helpless old man calmed down in an instant, and followed Hua Yi to the outside of the cave.
This place is a valley, and the figures of those mountains look very depressing in the night, almost weird.
"Have you seen the terrain here?" Suo Laimu trembled, rubbed his hands, and said in a deep voice, "The mountains are connected to each other, and the narrow line is bald on the mountain, and there is no blue color." , this is unlucky, like an unsealed coffin."
Hua Yi frowned.
Suo Laimu was not in the mood to argue with him about this, and said quickly: "The old man told me before that there are two taboos in such a place, one is earthquakes, and the other is sky water—that is, heavy rain. When it rains heavily, the water swells. Furthermore, I am afraid that the fire has not subsided, and if there is an earthquake again, we step on these two taboos, and the unsealed coffin lid may fall on our heads."
Hua Yi has never believed in these strange and chaotic things, but Suo Laimu's words are serious, he then looked up at those oppressive mountains suspiciously, and even felt a coldness creeping up his spine .
It is always right to be cautious, Hua Yi made a decisive decision and decided to take people out of the valley overnight.
Suo Laimu, who was leading the way, seemed to be crazy. He led the way very fast. If Huayi hadn't ordered part of the orcs to turn into beasts in the middle of the way, and carried those panting old and young on their backs, the team might be seized. Laimu brought out the fault.
Chang An was still walking at the end. As he was walking, he felt something was wrong. When he looked up, he found that all the trees in the forest had lost all their leaves—as if they had been plucked into bald heads, layer by layer. Standing bare, the bark seemed to be corroded by something, mottled and mottled, vaguely revealing a lifeless and dead appearance.
"It was washed by the rain, and there is underground resentment in the rain, which cannot be touched by living things." Hua Yi followed his gaze and asked in a soft voice, "Are you tired? If you are not in good health , I can walk behind your back."
Chang An shook his head. After the rain poured down, he felt his chest tightness a lot better. It seemed that the air outside was plentiful again.
But the more Hua Yi looked at his serious face, the more he scratched his head and wanted to talk to him a few more words. He put his arm around Chang An's shoulder, pinched him, and sighed: "I didn't see you haggard because of this ups and downs... Sigh, I don't know when this day will end. Now that I think about it, I dragged you into the tribe to make you happy, but I didn't expect it to drag you down instead."
In fact, Changan didn't feel that there was much to eat and drink, so he glanced at Hua Yi and said briefly: "It's okay, it's fine."
At this moment they were about to walk out of the valley, and Hua Yi's vaguely raised heart was relieved, so he became more in a mood to talk nonsense, and he asked: "Who is good? Am I good?"
Changan nodded dispensably.
Hua Yi was smug for a while, but then he felt that this reaction was not quite right, so he continued to ask: "Who else is good? Is Sulaimu good? Is Aye good? Is Shanxi Luquan good? Ah... Is Alan good? ?”
Chang An said cheerfully: "Everything is fine."
Hua Yi: "..."
He was silent for a while, then said sullenly, "Is Alan the same as me?"
Chang'an just finds Alan a bit annoying, but he doesn't really dislike her.
When he was in the tribe, Alan always gave him things. One day it was a dress he sewed, and the next day it was a carefully cooked deer leg. Chang An had nothing to report, so he had to pick and choose from the pile of things Hua Yi gave him, and find some useful ones to send to Alan and Dad, but he always felt that these things were not as good as those made by others. , has been even a little sorry.
Hearing Hua Yi's question, Chang An glanced around first, and found that Alan and her father were not nearby, so he smiled a little, and subconsciously lowered his voice and said, "Same, Alan is a very good girl."
In addition to being too talkative, the voice is also a bit louder...
Hua Yi gasped and gritted his teeth silently, feeling that his love life would not be smooth.
He glanced coldly at Alan's back in front of him, staring at him while spurning himself—what was he doing? Do you want to rob someone with a little girl
So he said, "I just..."
But he had only uttered two words, when the ground suddenly shook violently, Hua Yi was stunned for a moment, only to hear a loud noise behind him, like the sound of a stone collapsing.
Hua Yi's expression changed, he pushed Chang'an forward abruptly, and at the same time shouted loudly to the people in front: "Don't stand still, run!"
Chang'an turned his head hastily, and saw that the valley they were in before had collapsed, and the earth was shaking—this time it was really shaking.
Huge rocks lined up and fell down on the rain-corroded tree. The big tree surrounded by several people was broken from the middle and crushed into shocking two pieces. Countless mud rolled down from the mountain, galloping Roaring and muddy, like a big black monster.
