Chapter 45: The Figures in the Rainstorm

I didn't sleep all night, and my heart was always unsteady.

When she was hungry at night, Xu Wei had a little fever and kept talking nonsense.

I poured a lot of hot water on Xu Wei and covered her tightly with a wolf skin to keep her warm.

Xiao Qiang couldn't sleep either, and sat around the bonfire with her legs crossed one by one.

There is not much herbal powder left, and Xiao Qiang is worried about going to the woods with me early tomorrow morning to find some more.

But who knew that it would rain heavily in the second half of the night.

Heavy rain was pouring down outside, and the cold wind outside was blowing in along the hedges at the entrance of the cave.

Several women, covered with a bearskin, came together.

I suddenly remembered that there were two short-legged birds and dried fish at the top of the mountain.

With such a heavy rain, there is no place to shelter it, and it would be a pity to shoot to death.

The dried fish was also dried by us little by little, and it was all wasted.

"I'll go out and get those two birds back, don't move!"

With that, I took off my shirt and pants and rushed out of the cave.

The cold rain instantly slapped on my body, making me feel excited.

The rain was fine on the stones, but the stone walls became a little slippery.

I gritted my teeth and carefully stepped on the stones, and climbed towards the top of the mountain little by little.

When I climbed to the top of the mountain, I saw the two short-legged chickens leaning against the rocks and shivering.

In fact, these animals are also pitiful, if we are not here, they still live happily, occasionally go to the woods to catch a few small insects, and live a worry-free life.

But we showed up not only to eat their flesh, but also to force them to lay eggs for us. It's a bit cruel indeed.

But now we don't know how long we can live, and we can't be kind to them anymore.

I caught these two short-legged birds, and ran to the branches of the trees to drag the dried fish we had dried.

When he hung everything around his neck and was about to go down the mountain to return to the cave, he suddenly skimmed over to the sea below the mountain and saw a vague figure.

It was dark, but the rain was a little reflective on the ground, and I was sure it must have been someone.

But how could anyone be here in such a heavy rain?

My first reaction was that Bai Wei and the others were from them, but then I thought about it wrong.

When I fought with them yesterday, most of their gang was injured except for a few women.

With such a heavy rain, they have injuries on their bodies, they have no food or drink, if they don't find a good place to recuperate, and come out in the rain like this, it will be death!

But after looking at it for a while, I thought that this figure was very strange.

He was very tall, and he walked a little swaying, and he still held something in his hand, as if he were going from the seaside to the woods step by step.

I was a little surprised in my heart, and I didn't dare to make a sound, so I protected the two short-legged chickens under my body and quietly looked at the shadow.

I saw that the shadow gradually approached the woods from the seashore without hurry, and finally disappeared.

My heart almost jumped to my throat, until I saw him disappear, and then I cautiously descended the mountain back to the cave.

After entering the cave and settling the two short-legged birds, I sat down by the campfire, wet from top to bottom. The whole person couldn't help but tremble.

Xiao Qiang hurriedly ran down from the straw bed covered by the bearskin, frowned and took the tattered clothes she used to tie the dagger yesterday to wipe my body.

"It's raining so hard outside, why do you have to go out on such a cold day? ”

Wang Xiaoxiao also hurriedly added a lot of dead branches to the fire, and set up a clay pot on the bonfire to stew soup for me.

"Drink some hot water to get rid of the cold. ”

I looked at the three women except Xu Wei, hesitated for a moment, and told them about the black figure I had just seen.

After all, this kind of thing must be known in our hearts, only in this way, when something goes wrong, we will not be caught off guard.

"You mean there's a dark shadow down the hill? You can't be mistaken, can you? Could it be a brown bear or a wolf or something?"

Wang Xiaoxiao looked at me in disbelief.

I shook my head categorically: "No, the brown bear is very large, but that person is slender and tall, and the wolf can't stand up and walk, right?"

Xiao Qiang leaned next to me and said in a small voice: "Don't be scary here in the middle of the night, it's raining so hard outside, how can anyone go out? Could it be that Bai Wei and they want to come over and attack us while the rain is heavy?"

"They suffered such a big loss, how could they come back so quickly to take revenge?"

Wang Xiaoxiao has already refuted Xiao Qiang's speculation for me.

Liu Jiaojiao bit her lip and hesitated: "Brother Sihai, do you think it would be a merman who climbed up from the sea? I once heard my grandmother say that there are monsters in the sea, deep-sea monsters!"

I laughed a little.

This is not very realistic, after all, I would still believe it if there were wild people, but it is a fantasy to have sharks.

But whoever it is, it's definitely not a good person for us.

I wiped my body dry and drank a cup of hot soup, which made me feel a lot more comfortable.

"It's not a good thing for us, I think it's important that we get out of here as soon as possible, you go to bed early, and when tomorrow dawn we'll go collect some more food, and when all the reserves are ready, and the ship should be almost ready, then we'll leave here." ”

Wang Xiaoxiao nodded, but there was a hint of hesitation on her face.

"We don't know how far this place is from the other side of the sea, so it's a bit unsafe to go out like this. ”

I didn't know what she was worried about, but in addition to the beasts, there were still inexplicable figures in this place, and it was impossible for me to stay here and wait for rescue.

I just saw a mysterious stone pile in the morning, and I dug up so many human bones, and now I also see a mysterious shadow in the rainy night......

Anyway, the sooner you leave, the better, otherwise who knows what will happen to this place.

If there really are cannibals here, then will we be eaten and wiped clean by this group of cannibals?

Xu Wei was still shivering, the cold wind outside kept blowing in, and several women were also cold and pale.

Although there were several bonfires piled up in the cave, it was still extremely cold after all, and in the end Xiao Qiang suggested that it would be better for us to sleep together tonight.

At first, I felt a little uncomfortable, but then I thought that it was not my own to suffer such a loss, so I nodded and agreed.

Xu Wei had a high fever and shivered with cold all the time, I held Xu Wei in my arms to warm her, Xiao Qiang pouted and quickly lay on my other arm.

Wang Xiaoxiao snorted coldly but didn't make a sound, and dragged Liu Jiaojiao to lie down at night.

A bearskin, we turned sideways but covered just right.

The women's breath soon calmed down, but I couldn't sleep, and my eyes widened and I looked at the roof of the cave until dawn the next day.

When I got up, I went down the hill and walked towards the sea, trying to see where the dark shadow had come from.

But the rain was so heavy that it had washed away the footprints.

When I was disappointed and wanted to go back to the cave, I suddenly found that the piles of stones we had piled up for help were gone......
